Stephen my friend….that was absolutely genius. What an entertaining video from start to finish. I definitely have to up my film game. Thank you for inviting me along and you deserve every success as a film maker….but leave the cakes to Mr Kipling 😉
Thanks very much Paul, had a great time despite the rain and enjoyed seeing it from your perspective. Especially as I was warm and dry all night 😂 Mr Kipling does make exceeding good cakes, but they are no fifteens!
Thanks Nikki 🙂 You'll like one of my other videos from the Lake District, hiking over a knife edge ridge while spinning the Insta360 One X2 around my head on the 10ft long pole 🤣
Wow looked over from Paul’s channel and this version of events kept me entertained and laughing. What a big personality. Love Wildcampimg myself and will keep looking at your content love the humour atb Dave 😂👍
The images are gorgeous, the editing crisp, thank you for bearing with the puddles to bring us this gem. Honestly makes me want to camp in howling rain B:b
We’ll this is for sure another channel to subscribe to! Cracking video, or should I say cinematic! Loved the camera work, slow mo’s and background music. Shame the weather didn’t hold up to much for your first trip to Lakes, but what a view you had nonetheless.
Thanks very much Jason 🙂 I was actually glad (afterwards) the weather was bad, made for a more interesting video and moody landscape. I was there for a week and shot 4 UA-cam videos in total. A couple of hiking/fell running videos and a mountain cooking video.
I really enjoyed your video. I have watched Paul's video as well. blew me away how you captured yhe beautiful scenary. If I was there In would be in such awe. I just sat on the beach head of ulleswater with my partner chilling and in awe of the mountains surrounding me . Thankyou so much.
Beautiful clip, so well done Stephen, came here from Neil's channel, Run Sensible! Fully watched and subscribed as I love those so well done clips of yours! Best wishes mate!
Hi Stephen. I really liked this video. You clearly know how to get great drone footage. I'm jealous. I'm in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Nice, but not as nice as the scenery in your vids. I'll comb through your back catalog and eagerly await your next one. Cheers.
I’m afraid I’m going to have to stop watching this video after just a few seconds on my phone. I’m really sorry! Why you ask? It’s because your video looks amazing! It’s can only be appreciated on 65’ LG tv. See you later
All, just to be aware that unlike in Scotland or most of Ireland, wild camping is not permitted in most parts of England's Lake District. National Park, National Trust and other local authority regulatioms/local by-laws prevent.
Useful to point out. Although wild camping isn’t permitted in most of Ireland either. Some national parks do have specific rules. But in general it’s similar to many places in that it’s widely tolerated in a lot of areas. My simple rules are don’t camp if there’s specific signage, don’t camp within about 1/2 km of a dwelling, don’t camp in fields also used for animals, camp higher up if possible, arrive late, leave early, if moved on do so immediately without complaint and follow leave no trace principles. I think the law works in that it allows land owners to easily move on problem campers and possible prosecutions for those damaging land or making a nuisance of themselves. Anyway, Paul has a good video on this: ua-cam.com/video/_mxSEOAFE_Y/v-deo.html
Came from Paul's channel and have subscribed. Loving your drone shots, really brings out the beauty of the area, even in the crappy weather! Nice video ending too!!
09:10 Haha we've all been there bud. You're not a wild camper until you've gone arse over tit. I've done it many a times. I'm just a clumsy twat though even on flat ground I manage to trip over my own feet. Scrapes I can handle. It's the falling backwards onto a sharp branch of a fallen tree that pierced my Berghaus paclites, my boxers and give me a big gash in my arse cheek. I'm just thankful I didn't land a few inches to left.
People should watch your work more. Really fun video. Made me laugh and sad and that's rare. The editing is amazing too. I'm glad I discovered your channel.
Love the two of you together, and the videography was excellent. Must have been difficult lugging all the equipment up there to create the impression of wind and rain! 💦💨😁
Hi Stephen, Arrived here via Pauls channel, loved the editing especially the drone footage. I saw you were filming with your iPhone, do you use filmicpro and colour grade in post ? Im interested to know what you are doing. The puddle under your tent, I like to think of it more as a water bed 😂 Like your filming style, I have subscribed and look forward to more of your adventures, you might want to consider subtitles tho with that accent 😉 Just kidding ATB Darren
Hi there! Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed the video! That was actually Paul's iPhone that I was holding at the river, I shot this video on a Panasonic GH6. Then I coloured graded the footage after. However I do often go for lightweight options of iPhone or GoPro, here is a video I mostly shot on my iPhone 13 pro (same one Paul has): ua-cam.com/video/225Bsfk-t4o/v-deo.html If I'm shooting with my phone I use Filmic Pro for the best quality footage and then yes colour grade afterwards. I vary my filming styles depending on what I'm making a video about, or if I can be bothered carrying heavy kit or not. Ha! You all sound funny to us 🤣 World would be a boring place if we all sounded the same 😛
Thanks Ian! Wish I lived closer to the lakes or id be there a lot more often making videos. I’m a ferry trip and 3.5hours driving away. Ferry costs a fortune currently as well
Happy new year!!! Well I'm only 7 months behind on your videos now! That was a good one, nice to see you exploring in England. I drove along the Honister Pass when we visited the lakes in 2021, I loved it... my wife not so much, she was terrified!
Woo great video. Saw you on pauls channel. You should check out resident outdoors if you like the lakes. He lives in keswick in lake district. Subscribed.
I came over for a visit from Paul, fantastic content Stephen! the filmography is really on point and so is the editing! Only thing i feel was overdone was the extent of epic music in the background, it's not that it doesn't have a place, it's just too often for my taste; but hey, that's just my take. You do you! :)
Thanks very much and valid criticism. Not everyone likes constant music. I had wanted to do some more sections that just used sound design, but it’s very time consuming and I was on a tight schedule to finish. Edit was about 10hours.
Hi Stephen, I have the same setup pouch on my rook 65. My partner is a wiz on the old sewing machine and has adjusted the straps to fit on the backpack.
Thanks very much! 🙂 the channel is a bit of a mix as you’ll see. Running, tech, camping, hiking, some bushcraft. I used to focus on tech more, but outdoors is really what I want to make videos about
I think this could be your best video yet. The footage and editing is exceptional you can tell that you have been into filmmaking a long time and the humour as usual is brilliant. All the best and Congratulations on the 30k subscribers 👍
Thanks so much! I realised that my UA-cam videos don’t often reflect my work as a filmmaker so I’m trying to put more effort into key videos as I’d love to get more commercial work as an outdoors filmmaker. 🙂
@@StephenJReid well you did a cracking job on this one.. I watch all of your videos and they're always a good watch with really nice edits and footage but this one definitely stood out. I know what you mean about focusing on the key videos, it makes sense.. Your footage, colour grading, audio and everything was class and better yet it was really good to see how yourself and Paul got along. I'll stop rambling now but fair play again 👍
Followed you here from Paul’s channel. Superb video 👍🏼 that must have taken some time to edit, love it. P.s, nice touch on the Eye of Sauron / Barad-dûr 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Gary! Took about 10hours to edit, mostly sitting in my van listening to rain. Was very surprised to find Barad-dûr up there myself, was pretty sure it had fallen down 🤣
Panasonic GH6. But I did go for a somewhat desaturated, more 35mm film look. The camera has great colours, perfect for outdoors. I live on the East coast so prob similar weather, the West coast has some crazy storms coming off the Atlantic.
You might like this one: ua-cam.com/video/225Bsfk-t4o/v-deo.html A little bit of kinda bushcrafty stuff in it. I do like to combine my camping styles, prefer a forest camp in winter, warmer and possibly of a fire.
Fellow gh6-er 😁👀📸 I wild camped at Dale Head Tarn from Honnister Pass last summer - it was lovely! The quality of your footage is brilliant, and I know how hard it is to lug the drone and heavier camera stuff around when camping! The effort is paying off for sure 😁
Hey thanks! I had a GH5 about 2years ago and got rid of it as the autofocus wasn’t good enough, but I always missed it. Loving the GH6 so far! Haha, sometimes I go ultralight and shoot on my phone or a GoPro, and other times I like to bring a proper camera.
What an inspiring film. I'll call it a film because its so much better than a video! I'm glad you enjoyed the experience -- despite the rain and howling wind :-) Bruce
I was kinda assuming that those camping guys would be better at choosing their campsite, and not wind up with a small stream running throught their tent. Then again: besides being very pretty, the Lake District is also very wet and boggy! The aerial footage was stunning Stephen, despite (or maybe thanks to) the gloomy sky. Decades ago, I (from the Netherlands) cycled up Honister Pass, well ... pushed my bike up there LOL More of the same at Wrynose and Hardknott Pass! Man, there are some very, very steep and narrow roads in the Lake District!
Haha, the spot looked really dry when we got there, but we only had about 30mins until sunset so kinda stuck with the first good spot. Haha, cycling up there is hardcore, I had my bike with me and got exhausted cycling 3miles into town over a small hill 😂
Thank you to Paul for sending me here. What an excellent video Stephen. Much impressed. Very professional, informative and entertaining. Please keep up the great work. 👍
Just started watching and had to pause to comment. I have to say I'm only a few minutes in and really quite impressed with the video quality of your camera as well as the editing. Most hikers I watch are UL hikers and understandably use smaller cameras like GOPro, phones mini DV cams etc and although they're still high quality they're leagues behind this. It's nice to see the Lakes shot like this. Super high quality and cinematic style. Have you ever done the WHW rail? It would be awesome to see that recorded like this. I'm going again in July. I may have to hire you lol [edit] After continuing to watch I think some sort of gimbal would be a good edition to your setup. Not a complaint, Just giving some constructive feedback :)
Thanks very much Adam 🙂 Most of my videos do probably take that more lightweight approach, but I'm a full-time commercial filmmaker and decided I want my UA-cam to reflect that better so for these camping/adventure videos I'm trying to take a more cinematic approach. I've done zero hiking in Scotland, although I will be there a couple of times this year, but for holiday/ running a mountain race. I do plan on making video across more of UK & Ireland. Had plans in 2020, but then covid, so I'm only getting going again now. I use gimbals for commercial work but would be very unlikely to use for a video like this. They add a lot of hassle and slow things down a lot and are heavy to carry. For this trip if I had brought a gimbal I would have had to leave behind something else. Not ruling it out, just would need to be the right project with lots of time.
Well done Stephen, great video, just back from the Brecons where I gave my Southern cross a good test in similar conditions too & it was fine, handled everything the weather threw at it, hope you team up with Paul again !
Been waiting for this one. Didn't disappoint. Brilliant. Soggy, but brilliant... these are the ones ya don't forget. Lake District is a stunning part of the world, hail, rain or shine. Cheers for the video, I'll switch over and give Paul's a watch now. Cheers Stephen.
2 legends together enjoying what they do best... Fair play lads. That colour grading & film producing Stephen is nothing short of superb. Well worth the wait to see this one... 🙌
Hi Stephen, congrats on the channel, I've subscribed not because of the awesome scenes you shoot, or the witty commentary & fun story lines but because of the pensive faces you make!!!! keep up the great work!!!!
Hey Paul, excellent video as usual. One tip though, don't do inonimate tarn again unless you like being flooded out. That place floods in slight drizzle, or 1mm of rain lol. I've done it three times, been completely flooded twice and the last time I went there had my tent completely destroyed by wind and rain that wasn't forecast, and it had been a lovely summers day. That place wrecked my mates new Hilliberg, and they are supposed to be bomb proof. Never again! Bob Bell
Solid advice! 😂 definitely more exposed up there than it looks. The rocks don’t give as much cover as it appears and the wind was constantly changing direction
@@StephenJReid the place seems to suffer a lot from run off and it pools everywhere. I had a similar issue on red pike, halfway up at Bleaberry tarn. There's like a mezzanine level that looks perfect for camping. The following morning the run off from the top of red pike left a huge lake about 10 feet from my tent. A lucky escape. Best to stay closer to the lake.
Thanks Kev. Affiliate link in description 😛 Drones are great, but they can be a hassle in all honestly as you have to carry extra kit and have to actually make sure to stop and use it.
@@StephenJReid I'm already carrying a Sony A7RII and Zeiss Loxia 21/2.8, a Sony RX10IV, two tripods and a Brave 7 action camera. I might need a dual purpose drone that shoots footage and can airlift a bag for me...
Stephen my friend….that was absolutely genius. What an entertaining video from start to finish. I definitely have to up my film game. Thank you for inviting me along and you deserve every success as a film maker….but leave the cakes to Mr Kipling 😉
I got Stephens back on this one. 15s are epic.. 🤯🤪
Thanks very much Paul, had a great time despite the rain and enjoyed seeing it from your perspective. Especially as I was warm and dry all night 😂
Mr Kipling does make exceeding good cakes, but they are no fifteens!
Fifteens Gang!
2 great youtubers bonding in the wild . What could be better 😎
Can’t believe he got you to mention me lol. Great colab 👍
The filming and production in this video is amazing. Honestly looks like it’s been filmed by a professional TV crew
Thanks very much 🙂 My day job is professional video production so trying to make these adventure videos look as good as possible 🙂
Just came across your channel…I am now a subscriber. Great video 🔥
Hey thanks for subscribing! Hope you found some more videos you like!
I saw the intro to his video and thought "I've gotta find out who filmed that"!!! 👌
Haha thanks! Put extra effort into this one 😁
@@StephenJReid you really have got some skills!!! But I must ask, did you film that bit with the iPhone or GoPro 10?
I followed Paul for a while. Amazing to see you guys went camping together!
Thanks Nikki 🙂 You'll like one of my other videos from the Lake District, hiking over a knife edge ridge while spinning the Insta360 One X2 around my head on the 10ft long pole 🤣

It’s definitely worth doing at least once 😂 thanks Tobi 🙂
Lovely video, well done. Sorry that you had to spend so much time with Paul though... He seems a right moody git and not too sharp either.
I can’t tell if this is friendly banter or a genuine insult 🤣🤣
Found you from Messner's video. Your videos are epic!!! 😍
Thanks very much Gaz🙂 welcome aboard, it’s a bit of a mix on here

Wow, first video of yours I’ve came across. Do you use colour grading and ND filters on your drone shots? Incredibly captured Stephen, well done
Thanks very much Ben! I colour grade, but rarely use ND filters on the drone. They don’t improve the quality, just allow for motion blur.
Hi Stephen. I really liked this video. You clearly know how to get great drone footage. I'm jealous. I'm in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Nice, but not as nice as the scenery in your vids. I'll comb through your back catalog and eagerly await your next one. Cheers.

Nice stuff - but seriously, if you think the Honister Pass is scary you better stay well clear of the Hardknott and Wrynose passes.............

I supply all your niche joke needs 🤣 I'll hopefully get back to the Mournes this week. Was meant to be racing on Thursday, but have to work now.
Awesome video, I have just started doing UA-cam videos and your editing is what the rest of us can only dream off achieving. Fantastic!

Great video, loved it..but it does serve to absolutely convince me camping up there is not for me!

Thanks very much Gary! 🙂
I hope Paul filtered the puddle in his tent for drinking water?
Stroke of luck!

Great walk, entertaining video, just had knee replacement and looking forward to walking in the mountains again 😀
Thanks Wendy 🙂 Hope you’re back in the mountains soon!
What did you film that on? Not sure about the ratio but the quality looked like 35 mm. I imagine the conditions in Ireland are often far worse!
Panasonic GH6. But I did go for a somewhat desaturated, more 35mm film look. The camera has great colours, perfect for outdoors.
I live on the East coast so prob similar weather, the West coast has some crazy storms coming off the Atlantic.

Lol was there doing honister ferrata extreme tues, yup that 25% incline for a 1.2 l fiat panda wasn't fun parking at the pass lol
Haha, it’s steep!
@@StephenJReid no shit haha....still Pillar is my last of the top 10 peaks to climb in the lakes and Honister pass seems a food place to head off from
The American hikers use the chest bags for their firearms!!!!!

Decades ago, I (from the Netherlands) cycled up Honister Pass, well ... pushed my bike up there LOL More of the same at Wrynose and Hardknott Pass! Man, there are some very, very steep and narrow roads in the Lake District!
Haha, the spot looked really dry when we got there, but we only had about 30mins until sunset so kinda stuck with the first good spot.
Haha, cycling up there is hardcore, I had my bike with me and got exhausted cycling 3miles into town over a small hill 😂
Thank you to Paul for sending me here. What an excellent video Stephen. Much impressed. Very professional, informative and entertaining. Please keep up the great work. 👍
Thanks very much! 🙂 I’ll keep at it
Just started watching and had to pause to comment. I have to say I'm only a few minutes in and really quite impressed with the video quality of your camera as well as the editing. Most hikers I watch are UL hikers and understandably use smaller cameras like GOPro, phones mini DV cams etc and although they're still high quality they're leagues behind this. It's nice to see the Lakes shot like this. Super high quality and cinematic style.
Have you ever done the WHW rail? It would be awesome to see that recorded like this. I'm going again in July. I may have to hire you lol
[edit] After continuing to watch I think some sort of gimbal would be a good edition to your setup. Not a complaint, Just giving some constructive feedback :)
Thanks very much Adam 🙂 Most of my videos do probably take that more lightweight approach, but I'm a full-time commercial filmmaker and decided I want my UA-cam to reflect that better so for these camping/adventure videos I'm trying to take a more cinematic approach.
I've done zero hiking in Scotland, although I will be there a couple of times this year, but for holiday/ running a mountain race.
I do plan on making video across more of UK & Ireland. Had plans in 2020, but then covid, so I'm only getting going again now.
I use gimbals for commercial work but would be very unlikely to use for a video like this. They add a lot of hassle and slow things down a lot and are heavy to carry. For this trip if I had brought a gimbal I would have had to leave behind something else.
Not ruling it out, just would need to be the right project with lots of time.
Just noticed...30k subscribers! Congratulations!
Oh wow that jumped about 50 today 😄 Thanks!
Must have been the return of Louise lol

Absolutely brilliant film Stephen. Very atmospheric. Well done. I prefer the Aberdeen Buttery myself. ATB.
Thanks Benjamin 🙂 Never tried a Buttery myself, I'll be in Scotland in a few weeks so I'll have to seek some out!
Well done Stephen, great video, just back from the Brecons where I gave my Southern cross a good test in similar conditions too & it was fine, handled everything the weather threw at it, hope you team up with Paul again !
Thanks Steve, it’s a solid tent, I’m very happy with it so far. Hopefully do another one with Paul sometime 🙂
Been waiting for this one. Didn't disappoint. Brilliant. Soggy, but brilliant... these are the ones ya don't forget. Lake District is a stunning part of the world, hail, rain or shine. Cheers for the video, I'll switch over and give Paul's a watch now. Cheers Stephen.
I’ll definitely not forget this one in a hurry! 😂 thanks Colin
Beautiful imagery, editing and score choices. Bravo!
Thank you! 🙂
Nice one Stephen, an awesome film mate and some really good editing ..well done ..cheers Stevie
Thanks very much Stevie 🙂
2 legends together enjoying what they do best... Fair play lads. That colour grading & film producing Stephen is nothing short of superb. Well worth the wait to see this one... 🙌
Thanks very much! Very pleased with this one, spent about 10hours on the edit 🙂
Great film, funny.
Thanks Shaun!
Nice one Stephen, Paul's a good lad. Looked a grim night. 😬
Thanks Wallace, was grim indeed, although it helped knowing that Paul had it worse 😂😂
@@StephenJReid haha, aye your Southern Cross looked solid. 😁
what tent is yours mate ?
It’s the Terra Nova Southern Cross 1
Hi Stephen, congrats on the channel, I've subscribed not because of the awesome scenes you shoot, or the witty commentary & fun story lines but because of the pensive faces you make!!!! keep up the great work!!!!
If by great work you mean silly faces, I’ll keep at it 😂
Cool collaboration 😎
Thanks Michael, been looking forward to this collab for a while!
Nice videos as normal mate . Looked fun Derbyshire next 👍🏻
Thanks! 🙂 have a few trips planned this year 😁
Hey Paul, excellent video as usual. One tip though, don't do inonimate tarn again unless you like being flooded out. That place floods in slight drizzle, or 1mm of rain lol. I've done it three times, been completely flooded twice and the last time I went there had my tent completely destroyed by wind and rain that wasn't forecast, and it had been a lovely summers day. That place wrecked my mates new Hilliberg, and they are supposed to be bomb proof. Never again!

Solid advice! 😂 definitely more exposed up there than it looks. The rocks don’t give as much cover as it appears and the wind was constantly changing direction
@@StephenJReid the place seems to suffer a lot from run off and it pools everywhere. I had a similar issue on red pike, halfway up at Bleaberry tarn. There's like a mezzanine level that looks perfect for camping. The following morning the run off from the top of red pike left a huge lake about 10 feet from my tent. A lucky escape. Best to stay closer to the lake.
Its great to see more of Paul just being Paul... Great combination you two together. Well done, excellent film making 👍
Thanks! We got on well together, which was relief having never met before. We could have hated each other! 😂😂
Beautifully shot, makes me want to get a drone.
Thanks Kev. Affiliate link in description 😛 Drones are great, but they can be a hassle in all honestly as you have to carry extra kit and have to actually make sure to stop and use it.
@@StephenJReid I'm already carrying a Sony A7RII and Zeiss Loxia 21/2.8, a Sony RX10IV, two tripods and a Brave 7 action camera. I might need a dual purpose drone that shoots footage and can airlift a bag for me...
@@TheWalkingKev Haha, yup sounds familiar! Prob 30-50% of the non-food/water weight I was carrying was tech
@@StephenJReid the front carry thing looks like it could be useful. I'm definitely going to look into that.
This is so good.
Thanks Alexander! 🙂
epic footage
Thank you! 🙂
Great videography ! Also quite entertaining . You've got a new sub
Thanks very much Brian! Welcome aboard 🙂
Superbly edited!
Paul treated you to one of the best 👌🏼
He did indeed, great location!
First time I've come across your channel, incredible!
Thanks very much Andy! 🙂
Amazing video but is wild camping legal in England. There's a lot less restrictions in Scotland
Paul made a video about this: ua-cam.com/video/_mxSEOAFE_Y/v-deo.html That answers in detail
Linked from Paul's site! Absolutely beautiful 👍
Thanks Earle! Welcome 🙂🙂
Great collaboration, 2 of my fav YTubers 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Graeme, glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Storm?
Well depends on your definition I guess 😁
Great Videography and by the way the editing side of things is superb!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🙂🙂
