Patrick, I've been trying to work out why I find your videos so enjoyable. I think I know now - your aim is always to engage the interest of your viewers. By the way you talk to us, it is clear how much you value your viewers - you treat us like friends. You have no 'airs 'n graces', you're a genuine fella with a zest for adventure. Your videos are very well presented and your manner is just right. Keep up the good work Patrick, you are an inspiration!
Jeremy, they are such kind words, and I doe like to think my viewers are with me on my adventures, the best part are the very kind comments I get making it all worthwhile, all the best Pat
Thank you for another excellent video Patrick. Love your adventurous spirit, combined with your thoughtful and informative narration. Been enjoying all of your posts from here in the United States. I was fortunate enough to spend my teenage years in England, and you take me right back to my many camping trips throughout your beautiful country. Cheers!
Hi Pat. Thanks again for braving the elements. We always look forward to watching your next adventure and hope to take up wild camping ourselves in the not too distant future.
Tim W Hi Tim and thanks for watching, hope you do get out wild camping because you will always have something adventurous to do and you will feel great afterwards, all the best Pat
Brilliant Patrick I thoroughly enjoyed watching that thank you for sharing your adventure with us loved the night shots of Sheffield 👍, can’t wait for the next one.
You can tell from seeing you inside the tent how well structured it is -my first time watching you - really enjoyed it - hope you have some more I can watch -thank you for sharing
Hi and nice to meet you, this was first time I had used the Crux tent, felt very strong, usually use a Hilleberg Soulo due to lightness and ease of errecting. Hope you like my channel, quite a bit of wild camping but my interests vary and I like different filming challenges. You will seems underground quite a lot and sometimes up in the trees, all the best for 2019 Pat
blackydon Hi yes all my interests rolled into one, just missing the beer on this one but thought I might need a clear head with the weather. Waiting for the BBC to call !! Pat
The Crux Storm looks pretty solid, hardy and spacious with a good porch and side pockets. I like it! Photos look cool and that breakfast looks scrumptious! Another great video.
Very much enjoyed this video Patrick! Would like to get out and do this sort of thing again. Camped out on Dartmoor a lot in my younger years but not for a long time with family life and work, tend to go sea fishing a bit and try to combine it with bush craft type skills to make it more interesting. Good work!
Mike S Hi Mike know what you mean about work and family , even if you get out every couple of months it something to plan and look forward to, hope you start out soon, Pat
Yes will make some plans in the neae future and get out! Just moving house over this weekend coming and will be be very close to the edge of Dartmoor so will get the wife to drop me off!
Michael Putsey Hi Michael great location this with great views and very accessable, might not be out until Jan as it's that time of the year, all the best Pat
Lawson Richards Hi Lawson and thanks for sub, most of my videos are wild camping and some underground drain exploration, although anything I ,am currently interested in will go on, thanks for watching Pat
Ohh I love the sound of rain. I used to love listening to the rain in my sleeper cab when I was a driver. But wow Pat that tent looks really cosy. Love the vids mate keep em up.
It looked proper wild up there! What a neat tent and ideal for the conditions. The story about you pitching it for the first time in the dark and after 10 hours of drinking really made me chuckle! I loved seeing the still photographs, especially the shots of the power stations.
Danielle Britton Hi Daniel,nice to hear from you, yes very wild night up there but felt very secure in a great tent, don,t know why I had not camped there before,so many amazing places to camp, thanks for your comments and watching Pat
Hi Pat, really enjoy your videos, especially the wet, cold and windy camps. Nothing like being all dry and cosy in a good tent when its blowing a gale and pouring outside. I liked the Crux tent, very nice bit of kit.
BADOLDBIKER Hi yes very impressed with the strength and stability of the Crux Storm tent, felt very secure and cozy in my home for the night on the wild moorlands above Sheffield, thanks for your comments and watching ,Pat
Simon Wake Hi Simon this was a great spot with views oner the city and beyond, my channel is mostly wild camping and exploring tunnels and drain and anything else I ,am interested in, thanks Pat
Another engaging and informative video. I made tea and a sarnie as I normally do for Mr Dickenson’s camping videos and look forward to the next. Inspiring and entertaining stuff
Great video Patrick, the tent looked very sturdy . Some great photos, there is so much to remember with cameras when doing stills and video I've done exactly the same (left it on manual focus lol) looking forward to your next adventure . Thanks!
Chris Millington Hi Chris yes the more you use your camera with varied setting more chance of mistakes, been exploring underground before this video and beginning of video is a bit rubbish I had actually left ISO on 3600 and white balance on aLED setting hope nobody noticed, all the best Pat
James Lauder Thanks James great spot this for a wild camp, probably next year for next camp due to , you know what in a couple of weeks, see you on the next one Pat
Thanks for taking us along Patrick - enjoyable as ever. The tent looked rock-solid - been looking for a good winter tent with room for kt and will look out for the Crux or Soulo bargain on eBay. Some great shots over Sheffield and shame about the focus over breakfast. All the technology bits, we're bound to have glitches. You do a good job for sound recording in the wind! Look forward to the next adventure and may dehydrated turkey roast if you get time for a December camp. ATB Stephen
Hi Sephen Crux tent was really solid never moved in that wind just a bit heavy to carry a long way but great for a winter camp near home. Microphones got a big dead cat muffler on which helps get decent audio in windy conditions, thanks for comments all the best Pat
David Howard Hi David wanted to try this tent out, certainly spacious and felt very safe and secure, just a bit heavy. Great for a winter camp when you are in the tent for long periods, thanks Pat
Pat another great video I've a weekend of work soon and I'm planning to watching your videos throughout the day...also pat I'd just like to thank you for giving us some great viewing
Andrew Hayward Hi Andrew and thanks for watching my videos makes it sort of worth while that you are enjoying them, I appreciate that. This was a great location looking down on the city of Sheffield, all the best Pat
Another nice vid Pat, always enjoy your stuff. Particularly liked your still photos of the city at night, looked brilliant. Drax Power Station seemed so close. All good stuff, thanks.
Chris Thornley Hi Chris yes I was surprised how the photo appeared to put Drax just beyond the city not nearly 30 miles away sat looking at the view for ages trying different camera settings, thanks for comments and watching Pat
It's kinda cosy in a tent when it's blowing like that. Nice view too. One tip: It's good for the poles to start folding them in the middle. When you start from one end, the shock cord gets quite tight towards the end.
Loved the story about the works "fishing trips" tent flysheet tribulation,Vv funny.Great film and you're crux tent looks like a bomber for winter camping! I've just started equipping myself with the means to dehydrate my camping food, it's quite good fun experimenting with different menu's isn't it.All the best...
20:27 It will not be the last time you get home with a video that is wrong. I often get home and load up the video only to find out that some of the shots have no sound because I forgot to turn on the mic. Painful. But we keep doing it. LOL
EconoChallenge yeah can,t get it right all the time,very frustrating when you film a great scene and find it did not work out but that's how it is, thanks for comments Pat
I love how you always find space for the frying pan and manage to do some marvelous complete meals on it, I'm going to try it myself next time I'm out, planning on a night on Ilkley Moor soon, close to the neolithic carved rocks, deep in the woodland, should be good
Brilliant! Love it..Im from Nottingham and just getting into wild camping. Think Ive just about got all the right kit together and looking forward to getting out there. Love your video`s and look forward to many more. Keep it real and Thank You
Hallo Pat.Super video.You show Shefield so well.My Daughter went to Shefield University for 3 years and I used to fly over your campsite at about 44000feet quite often.My flight comeing from Canada starting at Fort Worth Texas.we would just miss Nottingham and head past Marham RAF base in Norfolk much lower probably 30ish Thousand feet where I had lived for 3 years then we would climb above 36000ft over the North Sea heading for Holland and finally Germany.At times the midnightish views over Shefield and Marham were very clear the lighting showing lots of details.Well you remind me of England and my travels from around the world and my Daughter who lives in South Korea. BYE,Be Blessed mate.PS. No need to answer I understand your work load.
Patrick Dickinson ... you channel inspires me to get out there ...got all the kit together now .. got a couple of tents, various stoves, bag, I live in Mid Wales so plenty of places to camp !!! All the best Pat ...
excellent video once again, thanks for sharing your trip with us, i really enjoyed that, our lass is sat watching xfactor, and i am watching your video, i think i am getting the best entertainment.....thanks for pointing out all the landmarks, when we go walking in the peaks every weekend, we see all these places but never know what they are, i have a nice light pair of binoculars that i take with me, its great to pull them out and have a look on the horizon...thanks again for the upload, looking forward to the next one...cheers
paul young yeah exactly my thoughts Soulo do easy and lightweight but does flap, this one solid as a rock if your prepared to carry it, thanks for comments Pat
What a great place so close to home. Conditions looked challenging, though obviously ideal for putting the Crux storm tent to the test ... and yourself :)
johnnyboy63100 Hi Johnny yes great spot to camp with fantastic views over the city, definetly getting cooler now, be getting rest of my winter gear out I think, all the best Pat
Trevor Bailey hi Trevor this was a really strong tent great for winter and bad weather, but with that hours weight. Sometimes you have to find a balance between weight and strength and where and when you will camp. Thanks Pat
Hey, I've had a bit of a session going back over some of your older videos - so good, so good. Thank you for sharing. I was in the Peak District recently and drove near to the Ringinglow pub you have mentioned several times. Take care, and I look forward to your next update. W
I enjoyed that it was great. Funnily it's windy here. Loved that tent. View was good. Did I see wind towers in one of the photos?.well thanks for a lovely pod cast. I've watched very many of them now,but not commented on them all. Will when I get a bit more time.
Hi Mary this was a great location for the view, the wind turbines will of been near Ulley in Rotherham, always mean to go back to campsites like this but tend to find new exiting campsites, all the best Pat
crikey Pat that was a wild one,that tent will stand it though.done some research on that & the soulo & ended up purchasing a soulo from a good friend but was really tempted with the crux.good to see you back out mate & looking forward to seeing your'e winter camps.off out myself tmoro sunday 12'th forecast for below zero so should be a good one.tfs & atb Pat..Andy.
Andrew Beavers Hi Andy great spot up there at Owler Bar, we seem to camp in same places. For long term Soulo the best,but nice to try different tents, look forward to trying the Crux in winter as long as I don,t have to carry it far Hope you have a good camp, looks pretty cold out there,hopefully you will get a good sunrise, all the best Pat
What's not to like about this video...Great camp..Super tent and wonderful photos...Thanks for the explanations....Subbed and will watch more of your vids !!!....Cheers from Inverness.Scotland
Fantastic vid showing a fantastic bit of kit. A lot of staff from snow and rock I’ve spoke to use these and swear by them. I live geodesic tents. Hope it serves you well Patrick and hope you are well ATB Steve
Patrick you'll have to do a video showing how you dehydrate & vacuum pack your food! Great pics & views of Sheffield. Couldn't believe the power station was 35 miles away! Thinking of buying a Snugpack one man tent & Snugpack 3 bag.
Wow Patrick was enough to blow your head of up there fella!! I like that Crux tent you have, plenty of room for all your gear. Great picks too my friend!
DrTeno Guy Hi yes great spot to wild camp, sometimes the extreme weather makes the camp more a a adventure, feels great when you get back home knowing you gear has worked well, thanks Pat
Thanks for the vid Pat. Know what you mean about looking for photos after a trip - always hit or miss it seems. Hope to see you out again soon for a winter camp if conditions are good enough!
Just found your channel a few weeks ago. Am currently working through your videos - being from Sheffield myself originally (though now having lived more of my life up the M1 in Leeds and now Mid-Wharfedale) I have fond memories of many of your locations (the outdoors, not the tunnels). Thanks very much Pat!
Hi Philip hope you find my videos entertaining, a mix of wildcamping and tunnels etc. Can see how you must miss Sheffield but your new location sounds great, all the best Pat
Thanks Dawn, such a great location, you can spend your time just looking at the view and trying to identify parts off Sheffield that you are looking down on, thanks Pat
I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. I love to see how you dehydrate things like your spaggetti boulinase, so if I spelled that wrong. Thanks again. Take care.
great video, your videos are not only enjoyable to watch but very educational. please keep up the great work and maybe i`ll bump into you round sheffield some time.thank you agian david
I haven't wild camped in over 20 years but your video's make me want to dig out my old vango tadpole and give it a go! interesting you prefer to wild camp in the winter, the latest i've wild camped is September and I had to shake the frost off in the morning! I was pretty high up though and I had walked all day. It takes a lot of practice before you can tolerate (sleep) a wild camp but you advocate the cause well and I'm sure a quite few people will now give it a go! I look forward to your next video.
mrbrangwen Winter camping feels like a real adventure, what memories are made off, if you can go for a camp I ,am sure you will enjoy it again, all the best Pat
You Sir, are a joy to watch! I’ve seen a few of your videos and I always watch ‘till the very end. You are “watchable” in the that same way that “Fred Dibnah” was watchable. Magic! As I write these words I’m sitting by the fire, under a tarp, in the Scottish hills (Lochearnhead), and your video has warmed me up considerably! Tonight I will crawl in to a Vaud Mark II Light, but I’m saving up for a Hilleberg Soulo, thanks to you :-)
Paul Stafford Cook Hi Paul you sound like you were in a fantastic location, my brother lived at Comrie not far away. Glad you enjoyed the the video and really appreciate your comments makes it all worth while. The Soulo is a great one person tent, hope you get one eventually, all the best Pat
Top man ten pint pub crawl and then go and pitch a tent . Fantastic pictures , i like that your not afraid to get out in all weathers. Like the tent very roomy .
PUNK HIKER Hi yes our Newark trip is always a great weekend most of the lads are from Barnsley and they certainly like a drink, I struggle to keep up but you,be got to do your best, thanks for watching Pat
paul waller Hi Paul experiencing Canada sounds better than Nottingham, but I know what you mean, on holiday I enjoy myself but part of me wants to be back on the Peak District wild moorland preferably on my own with just a breeze and fresh air for company, all the best Pat
I liked this one. Good tent. I could have used such a tent back in April in the Big Bend. The gusts were up to 45 mph. I hope you can appreciate how this provides us viewers a new insight into your climate, life in Sheffield, your life and its norms. Cozying up in the shelter of those piled rocks reminds me that cozy is relative. The contrast between our worlds is food for the soul. For instance, here in the greater Houston area, rocks are not naturally occurring. One must travel at least 35 miles northwest, to find one on the ground. We do transport them here, though, but they can be expensive to ship. Six hundred miles from here, in west Texas, there is a lot of rock and the climate is very hot and dry. At night the very dry air cools rapidly when the sun sets, so, in a matter of minutes, we go from wearing layers to protect from the sun, to even more layers to stay warm at night. Your video and stills were great. It was so good to see heather again. Thanks Pat.
Nice to hear from you and I, am amazed when you say no rocks, we have so many round here especially up on the high ground, as if all the land has eroded away leaving just rocks. On the Derbyshire hills round here we bace alot of stone circles, pagon places of worship many thousands of years old built out of local rocks. Tent performed really well and felt very strong and secure, all the best Pat
Hi pat I just cant stop watching your vids better than tv. It's also a spot where I would love to camp as you can nearly see my house in apperknowle from there but its hiding behind a hill. Keep up the great vids mate me and the missus love em.
MrJimbaloid Hi and nice to hear from you, if you are ever up at Owler Bar look north to a massive stone cairn on the top of a hill a mile away and that's the place. Got some friends who live in Hundell be up there in the Miners in early June for Dronfest all the best Pat
Great to see you back out Pat, good video as always, my god i felt cold just watching you set up the tent in that wind obviously you like a challenge. I have seen the Crux tent up on ebay a couple of times during the past year got close to buying one each time but just missed out, looks a decent tent for bad weather.
Patrick, I've been trying to work out why I find your videos so enjoyable. I think I know now - your aim is always to engage the interest of your viewers. By the way you talk to us, it is clear how much you value your viewers - you treat us like friends. You have no 'airs 'n graces', you're a genuine fella with a zest for adventure. Your videos are very well presented and your manner is just right. Keep up the good work Patrick, you are an inspiration!
Jeremy, they are such kind words, and I doe like to think my viewers are with me on my adventures, the best part are the very kind comments I get making it all worthwhile, all the best Pat
Well said Jeremy 👍🏼
The perils of pitching a new tent when you are pissed. A cautionary tale - love it ;-)
Haha, I remember it well,luckly I could of just slept on the grass, thanks Pat

Martyn Jones hi Martyn yes those fishing trips are certainly weekends to remember, thanks for comments and watching Pat
It's kinda cosy in a tent when it's blowing like that. Nice view too. One tip: It's good for the poles to start folding them in the middle. When you start from one end, the shock cord gets quite tight towards the end.
esa062 Hi and thanks for that just folded them up never thought any further thanks for that, Pat
You are putting a lot of stress on your zip pulling it half way down when you are cooking or showing us the view of Sheffield, love all your videos
Brilliant camp Pat, and that breakfast!! Tent looked really stable in that wind, well done chap 👍

20:27 It will not be the last time you get home with a video that is wrong. I often get home and load up the video only to find out that some of the shots have no sound because I forgot to turn on the mic. Painful. But we keep doing it. LOL
EconoChallenge yeah can,t get it right all the time,very frustrating when you film a great scene and find it did not work out but that's how it is, thanks for comments Pat
I love how you always find space for the frying pan and manage to do some marvelous complete meals on it, I'm going to try it myself next time I'm out, planning on a night on Ilkley Moor soon, close to the neolithic carved rocks, deep in the woodland, should be good
Dave's Outdoor Page Hi Dave frying pan great for cooking and also keeps your food warm while you enjoy it, thanks for comments and watching Pat
Brilliant! Love it..Im from Nottingham and just getting into wild camping. Think Ive just about got all the right kit together and looking forward to getting out there. Love your video`s and look forward to many more. Keep it real and Thank You
Hi Jess once you have done a few camps you will learn a lot and fine tune your kit, I still are doing, all the best Pat
Hallo Pat.Super video.You show Shefield so well.My Daughter went to Shefield University for 3 years and I used to fly over your campsite at about 44000feet quite often.My flight comeing from Canada starting at Fort Worth Texas.we would just miss Nottingham and head past Marham RAF base in Norfolk much lower probably 30ish Thousand feet where I had lived for 3 years then we would climb above 36000ft over the North Sea heading for Holland and finally Germany.At times the midnightish views over Shefield and Marham were very clear the lighting showing lots of details.Well you remind me of England and my travels from around the world and my Daughter who lives in South Korea.

Nice review of the tent.... it looked very stable under the windy conditions... great food and entertainment 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glenn Fryer Hi Glenn yes very stable tent hardly moved in the wind, thanks for watching Pat
Patrick Dickinson ... you channel inspires me to get out there ...got all the kit together now .. got a couple of tents, various stoves, bag, I live in Mid Wales so plenty of places to camp !!! All the best Pat ...
excellent video once again, thanks for sharing your trip with us, i really enjoyed that, our lass is sat watching xfactor, and i am watching your video, i think i am getting the best entertainment.....thanks for pointing out all the landmarks, when we go walking in the peaks every weekend, we see all these places but never know what they are, i have a nice light pair of binoculars that i take with me, its great to pull them out and have a look on the horizon...thanks again for the upload, looking forward to the next one...cheers
Hi yes great views from all the hills west of Sheffield, remarkable how far you can see 40 miles on a clear day, all the best Pat
Loved the video...👍
Hilleberg super strong but so flappy in the wind. The crux looked very settled during the wind
paul young yeah exactly my thoughts Soulo do easy and lightweight but does flap, this one solid as a rock if your prepared to carry it, thanks for comments Pat
Hi Pat thanks for another good video great camping ,views,and some good nosh,well presented as always.Laurie
Hi Laurie lovely spot high on the hills overlooking Sheffield, thanks for watching and your comments, Pat
Good man ! Keep getting out there ! The Peak District is awesome
mick baker thanks Mick certainly have a great area on our doorstep, all the best Pat
Kinder north edge today was very windy
Another great vid Pat, well done for braving the wind, love the hydrated food, really enjoyed the vid atb Lee
Jorvik Outdoors Hi Lee the dehydrated food certainly cuts down on weight and taste surprisingly good, thanks for watching Pat
What a great place so close to home. Conditions looked challenging, though obviously ideal for putting the Crux storm tent to the test ... and yourself :)
yeah so near to home ,driven past for years but never thought to camp up here, so many places to try, thanks Pat
Another great video. Thanks for sharing Patrick.
johnnyboy63100 Hi Johnny yes great spot to camp with fantastic views over the city, definetly getting cooler now, be getting rest of my winter gear out I think, all the best Pat
Looks like a good tent. Looking to buy my first backpacking tent so your videos always good to watch..
Trevor Bailey hi Trevor this was a really strong tent great for winter and bad weather, but with that hours weight. Sometimes you have to find a balance between weight and strength and where and when you will camp. Thanks Pat
Hey, I've had a bit of a session going back over some of your older videos - so good, so good. Thank you for sharing. I was in the Peak District recently and drove near to the Ringinglow pub you have mentioned several times. Take care, and I look forward to your next update. W
Glad you enjoyed the older videos,they all bring back memories for me, Norfolk Arms, such a fantastic view, and a nice pint as well, all the best Pat
I enjoyed that it was great. Funnily it's windy here. Loved that tent. View was good. Did I see wind towers in one of the photos?.well thanks for a lovely pod cast. I've watched very many of them now,but not commented on them all. Will when I get a bit more time.
Hi Mary this was a great location for the view, the wind turbines will of been near Ulley in Rotherham, always mean to go back to campsites like this but tend to find new exiting campsites, all the best Pat
Patrick Dickinson I don't blame you. Wouldn't like to be out in it this night lol. Take care MHD
crikey Pat that was a wild one,that tent will stand it though.done some research on that & the soulo & ended up purchasing a soulo from a good friend but was really tempted with the crux.good to see you back out mate & looking forward to seeing your'e winter camps.off out myself tmoro sunday 12'th forecast for below zero so should be a good one.tfs & atb Pat..Andy.
Andrew Beavers Hi Andy great spot up there at Owler Bar, we seem to camp in same places. For long term Soulo the best,but nice to try different tents, look forward to trying the Crux in winter as long as I don,t have to carry it far Hope you have a good camp, looks pretty cold out there,hopefully you will get a good sunrise, all the best Pat
What's not to like about this video...Great camp..Super tent and wonderful photos...Thanks for the explanations....Subbed and will watch more of your vids !!!....Cheers from Inverness.Scotland

Gail Mitchell Hi Gail nice to hear from you, breakfast was great just messed up on the filming easy done, thanks for watching Pat
Superb video again patrick. Just shows you don't have to travel miles to get out of suburbia. Catching the bus. Amazing shots.
Very well done
Thanks Rich yes just a bus ride and out in our wild moorlands, looks a great place to camp in winter, thanks Pat
Really nice camp place and thanks for the nice video.Blessings
Yes beautiful spot Zdenek
Great to see you back....would watch your content over the programmed stuff on tv any day of the week!
abrasdwe Great to be out and thanks for watching Pat
Patrick you'll have to do a video showing how you dehydrate & vacuum pack your food! Great pics & views of Sheffield. Couldn't believe the power station was 35 miles away! Thinking of buying a Snugpack one man tent & Snugpack 3 bag.
Great to see another camping vid Pat. I'm almost caught up with your others. Loved your urban explorations as well. (Hamilton, Ontario).
Nigel Dance Hi Nigel glad you enjoyed my vids, try to vary them best I can, nice to hear from Ontario all the best Pat
Wow Patrick was enough to blow your head of up there fella!! I like that Crux tent you have, plenty of room for all your gear. Great picks too my friend!
DrTeno Guy Hi yes great spot to wild camp, sometimes the extreme weather makes the camp more a a adventure, feels great when you get back home knowing you gear has worked well, thanks Pat
Yes I can see where you are going there Patrick. Gradually getting through all of your videos learning and enjoying the journey Doc.
Thanks for the vid Pat. Know what you mean about looking for photos after a trip - always hit or miss it seems. Hope to see you out again soon for a winter camp if conditions are good enough!
Ian Park Hi Ian yeah you don,t always know if your photos, video has worked out until on computer screen, see you in winter In the snow hopefully, Pat
Just found your channel a few weeks ago. Am currently working through your videos - being from Sheffield myself originally (though now having lived more of my life up the M1 in Leeds and now Mid-Wharfedale) I have fond memories of many of your locations (the outdoors, not the tunnels). Thanks very much Pat!
Hi Philip hope you find my videos entertaining, a mix of wildcamping and tunnels etc. Can see how you must miss Sheffield but your new location sounds great, all the best Pat
Another great video and brill pictures! Thanks Pat. x
Thanks Dawn, such a great location, you can spend your time just looking at the view and trying to identify parts off Sheffield that you are looking down on, thanks Pat
I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. I love to see how you dehydrate things like your spaggetti boulinase, so if I spelled that wrong. Thanks again. Take care.
Marsha Mapes Hi Marsha, thanks for your comments, the dehydrated food is a great way to provide lightweight meals when camping, thanks Pat
Wow do many power stations to view from one camping spot. Another great video Pat.
Yes fantastic views from alot of the hills West of Sheffield, the power stations are around 35 mile's away, amazing, thanks Pat
great video, your videos are not only enjoyable to watch but very educational. please keep up the great work and maybe i`ll bump into you round sheffield some time.thank you agian david
david farrar Hi David and thanks for comments, have a word if you see me, often in pubs on Eccy Rd and Abbeydale Rd area, all the best Pat
I haven't wild camped in over 20 years but your video's make me want to dig out my old vango tadpole and give it a go! interesting you prefer to wild camp in the winter, the latest i've wild camped is September and I had to shake the frost off in the morning! I was pretty high up though and I had walked all day. It takes a lot of practice before you can tolerate (sleep) a wild camp but you advocate the cause well and I'm sure a quite few people will now give it a go! I look forward to your next video.
mrbrangwen Winter camping feels like a real adventure, what memories are made off, if you can go for a camp I ,am sure you will enjoy it again, all the best Pat
You Sir, are a joy to watch! I’ve seen a few of your videos and I always watch ‘till the very end. You are “watchable” in the that same way that “Fred Dibnah” was watchable. Magic! As I write these words I’m sitting by the fire, under a tarp, in the Scottish hills (Lochearnhead), and your video has warmed me up considerably! Tonight I will crawl in to a Vaud Mark II Light, but I’m saving up for a Hilleberg Soulo, thanks to you :-)
Paul Stafford Cook Hi Paul you sound like you were in a fantastic location, my brother lived at Comrie not far away. Glad you enjoyed the the video and really appreciate your comments makes it all worth while. The Soulo is a great one person tent, hope you get one eventually, all the best Pat
Top man ten pint pub crawl and then go and pitch a tent . Fantastic pictures , i like that your not afraid to get out in all weathers. Like the tent very roomy .
PUNK HIKER Hi yes our Newark trip is always a great weekend most of the lads are from Barnsley and they certainly like a drink, I struggle to keep up but you,be got to do your best, thanks for watching Pat
Been binge watching your camp videos n loving them. Theyre brilliant. Think i might start camping next year me sen and a buddy
Have fun!....you will love it once you get used to it and build up your kit, thanks Pat
Off work with the flu thanks for another enjoyable video to cheer me up .
Gloucestershire Camper Glad you are enjoying them all the best Pat
I’m so home sick love the video as always Patrick & enjoyed your stories take care mate from chilly Canada ex Nottingham Uk 😀
paul waller Hi Paul experiencing Canada sounds better than Nottingham, but I know what you mean, on holiday I enjoy myself but part of me wants to be back on the Peak District wild moorland preferably on my own with just a breeze and fresh air for company, all the best Pat
The tent held out well Pat, i had my doubts when i saw you trying to pitch it in those winds! Well done indeed!
Bit of a challenge pitching, but I new once it was up I had got a safe and secure home for the night, thanks Pat
I liked this one. Good tent. I could have used such a tent back in April in the Big Bend. The gusts were up to 45 mph. I hope you can appreciate how this provides us viewers a new insight into your climate, life in Sheffield, your life and its norms. Cozying up in the shelter of those piled rocks reminds me that cozy is relative. The contrast between our worlds is food for the soul. For instance, here in the greater Houston area, rocks are not naturally occurring. One must travel at least 35 miles northwest, to find one on the ground. We do transport them here, though, but they can be expensive to ship. Six hundred miles from here, in west Texas, there is a lot of rock and the climate is very hot and dry. At night the very dry air cools rapidly when the sun sets, so, in a matter of minutes, we go from wearing layers to protect from the sun, to even more layers to stay warm at night. Your video and stills were great. It was so good to see heather again. Thanks Pat.
Nice to hear from you and I, am amazed when you say no rocks, we have so many round here especially up on the high ground, as if all the land has eroded away leaving just rocks. On the Derbyshire hills round here we bace alot of stone circles, pagon places of worship many thousands of years old built out of local rocks.
Tent performed really well and felt very strong and secure, all the best Pat
I'm watching your old video and it's got me in the mood for camping
Yes Nath looking forward to getting back out one day myself, thanks Pat
Hi pat I just cant stop watching your vids better than tv. It's also a spot where I would love to camp as you can nearly see my house in apperknowle from there but its hiding behind a hill. Keep up the great vids mate me and the missus love em.
MrJimbaloid Hi and nice to hear from you, if you are ever up at Owler Bar look north to a massive stone cairn on the top of a hill a mile away and that's the place. Got some friends who live in Hundell be up there in the Miners in early June for Dronfest all the best Pat
I might see you there cheers pat.
Great video lad. Hard to sit indoors after watching this. Off up to stanage edge now and watch the the sun set. Thee keep up the good work.
piemanstube Hi great spot Stanage so many famous climbers started up there, hope you saw the sun set, all the best Pat
I love the English Breakfast.
Great camp Patrick pity about the wild man . Looks a good tent ⛺️ as well mate cheers 👍
Hi alan yes tent felt solid would be nice to try in snow, if we get some, all the best Pat
Hi Pat just purchased the new Biolite camping stove and it’s bloody fantastic..! Think it would make a good part of your kit ...!
Hi pat good to see you out again some good shots of Sheffield at night amazing the zoom on these cameras now a days all the best Dominic.

Great to see you back out Pat, good video as always, my god i felt cold just watching you set up the tent in that wind obviously you like a challenge. I have seen the Crux tent up on ebay a couple of times during the past year got close to buying one each time but just missed out, looks a decent tent for bad weather.
Walking wivdogs Nice to be out, the Crux tent feels very strong and secure would definetly recommend, all the best Pat
Another excellent video pat , and for once, I have no idea where you camped! Well done my friend,
Hi Richard, not far from Owler Bar, about a mile out from Totley,great views over the city.... thanks Pat
