    Well guys, I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now, I think the first was the emergency wildcamping at moel prysgau. I think your videos are without a doubt, the best I've ever seen, I'm hooked guys! Keep up the good work Austin and Lucy, look forward to your next adventure. 👍

      I'm from south Wales and live on the foot of the black mountain, I have enjoyed walking the brecon beacons since I was a kid and so am familiar with a lot of these places, nice to see them and your adventures in them, awesome guys, so glad I found you on you tube, well done.!

      Thank you very much Glyn 👍. Wales is our favourite place to visit although we’ve struggled to get out as much since the grandkids arrived , hopefully we’ll be visiting more this year 🤞

    A number of years ago, I was living on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Typically, that area is not known for large amounts of snowfall. However, one winter, I had purchased a Sierra Design Hercules AST tent and a Sierra Design Arctic -20F sleeping bag. We were supposed to get about 12 " of snow so I thought I would test these to pieces of kit in my backyard before using them in the wild. As it turned out, we got ~30" of snow with a considerable amount of wind and the temperature dropped to ~-10F. Well, both items handled well and I spent a very comfortable and relaxing evening in the snow. Of course, it helped knowing that I only had to walk 50 feet to the comfort of my house. Also, in the sleeping bag, I only wore silk long underwear and ragg wool socks. Really enjoy your videos. Still love the concept of the Bothy in the UK.

      Hi Douglas. It’s always good to test you kit first. Imagine finding out that they fail in those conditions out on the hill! A lot of people don’t realise at first that it’s much better to wear just a full base layer in a good sleeping bag in winter . It’s surprising how many people moan about their bags after a night fully dressed in it lol. Cheers. Austin and Lucy.

    Please dont ever change how you do your videos. It makes me feel like a great friend taking me on a trip with them.❤ I seen others who starts their videos that feels like I'm watching a commercial or play only some horrible music and no dialogue (like someone giving me the cold shoulder). You and Lucy are real, warm and so friendly absolutely the best! Take care of each other and Marley and keep making these awesome videos! Thanks from Florida.

    Love the vids guys. Keep it up. Every wild camp video i watch however people use gas stoves and some people have problems with theirs. I am an Army veteran and have owned a Coleman peak petrol stove for near 30 years and 2 sig bottles for fuel. I have used this stove for not only cooking rations on but also for long camps and fishing. The weight is slightly heavier however a full tank will give you approx 8hrs of burn time. The main advantage of it though is that it gives a great output in extremely cold temps. Just a thought.

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  3 роки тому

      Thank you. It’s a good point . We bought a multi fuel stove for winter a couple of years ago and haven’t looked back 👍

    Splendid!! Have to say, I would not want to venture out in those conditions, but with the right gear, you can put a man on the moon. Great video!! Marley rolling in the snow-what a crazy dog!!

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  7 років тому +1

      It was a good test of the gear for sure , i must get that snow skirt though . Marley just doesn't care about the cold and snow , he'll even break the ice on streams and lakes so he can lay in the water , nuts !

    • @swatsullivan
      @swatsullivan 7 років тому

      2 Feet Forward never seen a snow skirt before. It'll be interesting seeing how to use it!

    If I ever have another bad trip (psychedelic) I'm going to stick you guys on. Beautiful scenery. Man and wife. Lovely dog. What life is about.
    P.s. The mountains saved me from depression and more. We're very blessed to be alive and able to climb them. Take it easy ✌

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  5 років тому

      Thank you very much 👍. Yes, mountains are definitely more than beautiful scenery. They have so much more to offer, just wish more people could experience it but then again we’d only start moaning about how busy they were 🙄lol. Cheers. Austin and Lucy 🐶

      @2FeetForward  2 роки тому

      Thank you. We haven’t uploaded anything for ages . Grandchildren and finances to be honest but we are hopefully planning a trip in the van to souther Spain in September. We plan to take the ebikes to the summit of Mulhacen which would be epic . Hopefully we’ll get a couple of camps in before 🤞

    That was brilliant Austin. Testing conditions, so hats off to you all. I love Marley, tough as old boots. Thank god Lucy's OK after her slip. Can't believe some nutter was heading up into that with denims and trainers on........Excellent as always. Keep em coming. atb Andy

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  7 років тому +1

      Cheers Andy . Marley's as hard as nails and seems to enjoy the harsh conditions even more . Lucy's always falling over and just seems to brush it off . When i go over i usually ache for a week . The trainers the guy had on weren't even "proper" ones ,just the plimsole type. Nuts. Leaving for Snowdonia at 3.30 am tonight so hopefully i'll have something to upload next week . Atb . Austin .

    Austin - have just found your channel, and been thoroughly enjoying your videos.
    This one is my favourite so far, partly because I love Cribyn & Fan y Big, but also due to your dedicated filming.
    Love your attitude about the weather. I'm the same as grew up on Dartmoor, so the bleaker the better - makes you feel alive.
    You have also inspired me to try filming my next hike, but won't be anywhere near as polished as yours.
    Anyway I have just subbed, and look forward to following your future adventures. ATB, Andy

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  7 років тому

      Thanks Andy , very kind of you. This was one of my favourites as well , i love testing conditions as they make for the best memories . You know bleak if you grew up on Dartmoor for sure , we've done a few camps there and one of the coldest was on Dartmoor. Great to hear you'll be filming your next outing ,i'll keep my eye out for it . Cheers and all the best . Austin .

    • @rosemaryvaughan2626
      @rosemaryvaughan2626 5 років тому +1

      1st time I,v Seen your Video/s. Excellent. Thoroughly enjoying. Due to Now being disabled, I Now Use a Caravan. (Shadow is his Name)but unlike a lot, I don’t take Tv etc. Prefer to enjoy Tranquility & Our Countryside. As You do. Marley Must be one of the Fittest dogs. Out of interest What does he eat When Camping. It’s very difficult for Me. Because mine usually have Raw Meat. Not often possible when Camping

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  5 років тому

      Sadly Marley is really slowing down now so no more cold winter camps for him 😟. The food is a bit of an issue due to weight . Especially raw food and if your out for a few nights , it's keeping it fresh . We tend to take a high quality complete dry food , one for working dogs is good and one of those small pouches of wet food a day mixed in to make it less boring and the packets are smaller and lighter than cans in the rubbish bag 👍

    Love Marley.. lol .. he's a gem.. my little nugget LOVES sleeping bags, loves the tent.. I have her stay in the hammock with me too since she is a portable size 😜 .. love all these adventures of yours.. the scenery is just stunning.. ❤️

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  6 років тому

      I bet she's like a little hot water bottle in your hammock lol. You'd think Marley was a Great Dane with the amount of room he takes up in the tent! Glad your enjoying the videos, it's great to hear and thank you for watching. Take care . Austin and Lucy.

    • @ruththinkingoutside.707
      @ruththinkingoutside.707 6 років тому +1

      2 Feet Forward .. Lol .. Panda is a first rate bed hog, regardless of where we're sleeping.. But she's definitely a lovely little built in heater! .. We're still working out the kinks in the hammock sleeping, she's part beagle and with being able to SEE outside the hammock, (unlike the walls of a tent) she tends to be a wee bit too hyper alert .. Lol ..lots of head swiveling and trying to get to the 'other side' to see.. Probably wouldn't be so bad if she hadn't seen a few bears in our trips out! She is frequently convinced any big 'blob' is a cause for concern!! Lol
      .. Thanks again for sharing all your trips. They're just wonderful.. I've been watching some of Scott's now too, it's fun to see how you guys overlap.. 😊

    Brilliant trip again. You can also have the same comment I gave Scott.
    One day we may meet on the hill. I was going to go to Fan y big Saturday night but I went to llyn y fan fach instead.
    I hate the Roman Road. Done many forced speed marches along that.
    Windy gap is brilliant isn't it.
    Awesome camp. I'm jealous because you had more snow than I did. I measured the wind at 39mph on Sunday morning.
    ATB Mark.

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  7 років тому

      Cheers Mark . Love Windy Gap , my brother went over the bars of his mountain bike there many years ago so it holds happy memories. The Roman road seems never ending sometimes but always worth it .Hopefully we'll get a bit more snow before the winters out . Atb . Austin

    Got caught out in similar conditions up on Skiddaw in the Lakes Feb 12th 2017. Scary and awesome at the same time. When this happens, there is no way to know which country you are in! It all looks like the north pole haha.

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  6 років тому

      Thanks 👍. We tend to use Sudocream as it’s thick and very water resistant. We also use what we call ‘Vet Wrap’ which is the crinkly looking bandage that sticks to itself for the upper legs. The only problem with the Sudocream is that it’s a bugger to wash out but it’s a small price to pay . Cheers. Austin and Lucy.

    @mistygroves3503 6 років тому

    I love the way you guys take crystal wine glasses up the mountain. I am such a pleb I would probably drink it out of the bottle! haha
    That's a good tip, to put sudacrem (was it?) in between Marley's toes to stop them getting iced up.

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  6 років тому

      lol. We tried persevering with our mugs but it just didn't taste the same so we got these plastic 'glasses' and they're great . The Sudocream works really well but you need to take a little extra to top it up along especially for the walk back.Self sticking 'vet wrap' is great to protect the lower legs from snowballing as well. Cheers . Austin and Lucy.

    At 12:43 how many layers are you wearing if you can remember? Is the outer navy blue jacket the Prism?
    I am thinking about getting a prism. Is it good for 5 Celsius with a light base layer? How tall are you and what size did you get?

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  7 років тому

      Hi there . At 12.43 i had my Prism jacket on under my waterproof and a medium fleece but earlier in the video you can see me put it on over my waterproof (4.05). That's why this is my favourite bit of clothing . it stays warm even when wet . it's very windproof and perfect for those temperatures if your on the move but you would need something warmer if your just sitting around. With a good fleece and base layer it's a great set up . I'm not sure if they still do it but there is a slightly warmer jacket with thicker Primaloft just above it in the Montane range that could be worth a look . I'm 6ft and wear the large so it goes well over the waterproof on days like this. . Hope this helps . Cheers . Atb . Austin.

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  3 роки тому

      You’re virtually guaranteed snow on the peaks in Snowdonia from Jan to March . As a rule if it’s raining in the villages , it’s usually snowing on the peaks . It’s not as white in the beacons but a good way to check is to look at the live webcams . Just search on google and again, if it’s a coldish day and raining low down , it’s probably snowing at 800m 👍

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  3 роки тому

      Just remembered . Check out Mountain Forecast , it gives a very accurate forecast and will tell you the freeze line height . If the line is at 500m on a 700m peak and it rains , it will snow above 500m 👍

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  7 років тому +1

      Hi Cassie, thanks for the kind words and glad you enjoyed the videos.. Marley's paws were fine afterwards , dogs have a special system in their paws which 'borrows' heat from warm arteries in them . The cold blood in the paw is 're heated ' but never goes back to their bodies which would chill the dog , it's like having built in snow boots, really clever . The other problem is the build up of ice balls between his toes , usually a good smear of Sudocream will stop this but I forgot to do it this time so regular stops and de icing were called for . ATb . Austin.

    one thing I notice is there is a "no fires" warning in mid-winter,I would have thought at least in mid-Winter, it would have been removed as I very much doubt forest fires could start in snow-covered land. just one more thing, wouldn't it have been much easier to empty those cardboard containers and put everything in small plastic sandwich bags because everything you bring in has to be taken out

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  6 років тому

      Unfortunately we know what you mean about the idiots 👎. The Highlander is hard to beat for the money , Alpkit do a great version as well and I think there is a bigger pot for boil in the bag meals and actually cooking . We should get one of these types for our longer hikes as we literally only boil water for rehydrating meals and making tea and coffee. My issue with Lucys stove is it uses a bit more gas whereas the jetboil type are really economic .Cheers . Austin .

    • @2FeetForward
      @2FeetForward  6 років тому +2

      Hi Mark . Marley has a Hurta summit coat which is insulated and waterproof. It covers all his major organs an protects him from the cold . At night he sleeps on a insulated reflective mat and he has his own down quilt which he lies on and it also covers him . On top of that we cover him with my montane deep down jacket so he really is toasty 👍 . Being half welsh border collie he’s as tough as nails . We have tried winter doggy boots but they didn’t last the first hill before he ripped them off with his teeth ( much to my dismay as they cost over a hundred quid!) . Most hardy breeds have a very clever system which shuts the blood flow from they’re feet and stops the cold blood returning and chilling the body . As soon as they stop the flow is released and the feet heat up very rapidly . It’s like having built in snow boots. He’s never had any problems and deals with the cold way better than we do to be honest. Thank you for asking and rest assured I would never risk hurting him , he is our baby after all 🐶. Cheers . Austin and Lucy.
