just came across your channel & what a fantastic style of editing 👌look forward to your future adventures 👍
Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it. I appreciate it 👍
You are only wildcamping if the tent comes down on your face at 3am, thats what I say! Great video!
Another high quality video. You can really see you put a lot of effort into making them. I agree the wild camping laws in England are daft!
I really appreciate it, thank you very much. Good job wild camping is tolerated where I tend to go but you're right it is crazy.
I think most laws are crazy here in England, that’s why this Brit is looking for land in America for a cabin build.
Their is a guy on UA-cam who originally comes from Liverpool, he now owns land in Wales.
He build his own wood cabin house home.
EVERYONE should check out his story and how the council took him to court, it would blow ya minds!!
They threw everything at him, high court BS you name it, and obviously spent a fortune of Our taxes paying for it all. 🫣
Good news is, he is a Very intelligent guy and Won his cases.
It seems Everything is designed to be against you from British councils & government.
Hardly surprising that more and more people are buying land abroad for their build or & renovation, and lucky for us guys on UA-cam lots of them have channels. 👍
I’ve lived in America before for 8 years, it’s amazing how in many states the laws for building and many other things are much more relaxed.
America is not everyone’s cup of tea but lots of rules & regulations spoil things in the U.K.
They take the fun out of loads of things.
The laws were designed for landowners, not the peasants.
Not seen your channel before but very nicely made. Nice place
It's a beautiful part of the world. Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it 👍
A well produced video. Good narration. You have a new sub.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it, more to come soon...
Really enjoyed that mate. Lovely story telling 👍🏻
Thank you, I'm a big fan of yours. Really appreciate it 👍
Really enjoyed this video, refreshingly different to the other outdoor UA-camrs, well done, thanks!
Thank you very much, that means a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 👍
Cracking video, captures the stark beauty of the Schil perfectly. It is one of my favourite hikes & camps, I've managed three camps up there this year...... The last one was in October, I've had a Lanshan2, Telemark2, X-Mid2 & a Scarp1 up there when I took my kids and they all handled the wind well. Delta pegs are an essential, especially with trekking pole tents. Anyway, new sub here. ATB
Thank you, I really appreciate it. The Schil really is something else, it's such a beautiful spot and lovely walks up to it from all directions 👍
Nice video, I'll have to pay the Cheviots a visit at some point next year - hopefully in better weather conditions :)
Thank you. The Cheviots should definitely be on your list, beautiful, rugged, and you'll barely see another soul. Fingers crossed for the weather 😂🤞
Great video. Your tent reminds me of my North Face Tadpole 2 which I've had since '91. Excellent content.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I've never used a north face tent before, stands the test of time if you're still using it today. 👍
😍
A possible improvement for the tent in high wind might be to attach a longer rear guyline and prop that with a walking pole so the force is pulling it more up and making it harder to deflect downwards. If you get custom 10mm poles that'd do it too (though expensive and heavier).
Thank you for the suggestion, I think for the time being I'm going to avoid winds as strong as this and then look at a stronger dome 4 season tent for next winter. I appreciate it though 👍
First time viewer of the channel, really enjoyed the video which was well made and entertaining, thank you......subbed.
Thank you very much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it 👍
There you go, with my sub that makes 100. Loved the voiceover and story on this, nice vid! Been up there a few times.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I've been enjoying your recent videos on stoves, helped me out when looking for a remote canister stove recently 👍
@@mountainsofthemind9294 great! Have you seen the one from yesterday and what did you buy?
@Fellmandave1 I've just watched it this morning over breakfast, great job. I ended up going with the fire maple blade 2, fits perfectly inside my msr pika kettle. I've yet to use it in testing conditions, only had it out on a coastal walk so far but it seems decent. I was looking for something smaller than my MSR whisperlite liquid fuel stove and something that didn't require the faff of priming it and avoiding the massive flame the process can generate, not good when cooking in the porch of your tent over the winter months as so often is the case.
@@mountainsofthemind9294 COOL, I HAVE JUST GOT A FIRE MAPLE KETTLE WILL BE TRYING, DO YOU FIND IT MORE EFFICIENT? Darn CAPS lock
@Fellmandave1 Funny timing this, literally hours after sending that reply I caught sight of a video claiming that the blade 2 cannot be used inverted which it was advertised as being able to do and the main reason I bought it. I dug it out, tested it and sure enough it suffers quite badly from stuttering when inverted. So I've now returned it for a refund and am awaiting delivery of a MSR windpro 2 instead.
I just happened upon your channel. Superb narrative and videography. More, please!
Thank you so much for your kind comment, I'll try to keep them coming. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍
Nice 1, new subscriber 😊.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Enjoyed the story telling 👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching 👍
Another option for enabling the tent to withstand the wind could be a much longer guy line and using a Delta ground anchor. It looks like there is only one guy line, perhaps two placed at an angle to each other might be better.
Yeah, thanks there are definitely things I could've done to help the tent cope better but in the past this tent has stood up to everything thrown at it no problem so I didn't think I'd need to do anything else. Lesson learned 👍
Ive just purchased the scorpion 2, this didnt look inviting as i live in the north east of scotland 😲
Don't worry, the scorpion is a very robust and sturdy tent, I've had it out in bad conditions on many occasions and it's never put a foot wrong. This wind was just ridiculous and if I were to ever pitch in these conditions again I know now that I'd need to do something to help strengthen the tent, extra guy lines etc... Don't worry, you've bought a very good tent, I love mine 👍
Stay within the moors mate.stay within the moors.a bit chili.
I've seen the a terra nova voyager have wind hit the rear tent the same as this. It probably could've been avoided with guy lines on pole sections instead of just the one on the ventilation slot.
There should be information you can find if vestibule facing into wind for that tent is correct. Some tents are designed to be stronger with vestibule facing into wind.
Thanks for the tip. I will look at attaching more guy lines on the pole sections if I'm ever facing winds like that again 👌
I do believe the vestibule is supposed to face the wind on this design, I have seen other videos in extreme wind and they have stood up to it very well.
@@ashab1 yeah true. Just need to be cautious managing getting in and out otherwise it would be a very bad day. Seems counter intuitive to face into wind, but some tents work this way.
Loved watching that. Thankyou.
i got the Scorpian 2. It has served me well so far. Think its stronger facing into the wind but then it becomes a parachute when you open the door 😀
I do worry that you was cooking with the doors closed? Im always quite paranoid about Carbon Monoxide poisening 🤔
A few people have said that about pitching door to the wind but I can't find anything official stating that. I'll give it a try.
As for cooking inside, it's a necessity in the winter months, especially in conditions like this. There is plenty of ventilation around / through the tent for it nor to be a problem, a bigger concern is keeping flames away from the walls, especially in wind like this. Definitely doors open if conditions allow, though 👍
@@mountainsofthemind9294 nice one, cheers for the response. I have subscribed to your channel. Looking fwd to more videos 😀
Was the dogs belly warm
You can't be charged for simply wild camping in england. If you are asked to move on though, it becomes a crime of trespass if you don't go.
When your tent was setup, the weak rear of the tent was obvious as your single guyline really does nothing to stop the rear poles flattening. It would be better to pitch the front into the wind.
An excellent video but do away with the sound track.
That not a good tent seen of alot tents in heavy wind Never seen that before lack of guy lines seem only 1 had 3 guy lines at back lot better
