I'm looking to adopt a dog later this year and I really, really hope he/she will enjoy wild camping with me. Great tips, sound advice, and a pleasure seeing you and Xena enjoying the outdoors together. Looking forward to seeing many more adventures!
Thank you, glad you found the vid helpful and hope you have many great adventures with your dog when you get them 😁

a rescue dog will change your life and he/she will love wild camping . I take my Ruby and she loves it. she knows when I start packing that we are off on another adventure and sits by door waiting to go. I've never been wild camping without my dog but I think it would be boring . I don't think I would go without her. get a dog get a tent and get happy.
My personal life is really crap at the moment but your videos make me laugh and i forget about my problems so i would life to say thank you for getting me through my bad times, i wish all the very best with your channel and again thank you,stay safe sweet
Hi Ian, so sorry to hear life isn't good for you. Try to get out in nature if u can, even if that's indoor gardening and opening the windows. It makes all this youtube business worthwhile knowing I've helped just one person, so thank you for taking the time to comment. Look after yourself 💚
Thank you for your very kind words,i had some news on Monday and now i am in a better state of mind and your channel is brilliant and so pleased i subscribed, stay safe sweet
Thks for the video. It's exactly what I was looking for.
I was doing some camping with my dog and it got somewhat cold outside during the night (6 degrees celcius). I gave my dog a foam mat and some blankets but she was still cold a bit. Obviously my tent is a winter tent so it was pretty much the limit of it. That night, it made me think that I waasn't prepared for somewhat cold temperature camping with a dog. So, thks again for the tips.
Aww no worries, defo recommend the equafleece jumpers. I've also taken to wrapping her in my down jacket once I've taken it off at night. She often ends up on top of it though 😂
Wow what a beautiful sunrise from 1 cat and no dog …I bet you missed you’re girl 🐕 some stunning views girl xx
i think somehow this comment is meant for the mam tor vid which was beautiful and yes i did miss beena ;)
Thanks Cat some good tips regarding you’re dog wow that was a wild night xx
Haha yh glad I wasn't on the tops, if it was that bad down there it would've been brutal! Now I've got the scarp ill be more adventurous though 😁👩&🐕
@@Wild.cat.adventures yes Cat it would have been very brutal lol …more adventurous I will look forward to that xx
Beautiful pup thanks for the tips plan on taking my Molly with me on future camping trips, she went on one with me last year and loved it, so this year she is my dedicated camping buddy.
Aww that sounds great, I'm sure you will love going on adventures together, you will grow even closer! 👩🐕
Thanks for a thoughtful video. Good advice.
Cheers Paul glad you enjoyed! 😁
13:14 have a look online for vet wrap if you want some really versatile bandages. It's cheap as chips, dries fast, sticks to itself and is so easy to use in a hurry since you can tear off how much you need and it's usually in colours or patterns so easy to spot in the first aid kit 😁
Oooo that sounds really good thank you I'll look into it! 😁
Nice video, I enjoyed watching that thanks I shall definitely watch your others.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the channel, it will only get better! 👩&🐕
Good to see you again, an had good camp out with ur dog ,windy nights r hard to sleep, I agree
Yep although I have the scarp now so flappy tent will be a thing of the past! 😁👍
Many thanks for the tips xx
No problems glad you enjoyed 😊
Hi,new subscriber,found you when you did camp with Chris (mcm) enjoying your content,keep up the good work 🐶⛺️👍👍
Thank you Paul, glad you like the channel, it will only get better 😁👍
Beautiful dog! 😍
We have a chocolate lab but he’s too old to summit mountains now, back legs only carry him for 10 minutes.
Enjoyed the video, keep it up 👌🏼
Aww xena is starting to slow down now too, it's so sad, but as long as they've had an awesome life that's what matters! Hope you enjoy the channel 👩🐕
@@Wild.cat.adventures we rescued Oscar 8 years ago and he’s lived the life of Riley ever since 😁
How it should be! You will be going to dog heaven (if humans are allowed 😂)
Nice little spot.
Some good advice for people who take their dog.
All the best
Clive
🤠
Thanks Clive, its one of my favourite spots, so many good places near there :)
Fantastic tips Cat 👌. Extremely useful. I've got a 18 month Labradoodle who's nothing like my previous Labrador. He's as mad as a box of frogs 😀. Can't wait to get him out wild camping with me. Love him to bits. Atb, J 👍.
Thank you 😁 I'd live a labradoodle, they have such big personalities! Hope you enjoy your adventures together! 👩&🐕
Amazing!
Thank you 😁
Awesome video, excellent
Thank you 😁👍
@@Wild.cat.adventures my pleasure
Fantastic video great tips
Thank you 😁👩&🐕
Nice spot you picked for camp down below elements away from wind its great in snow it be low its great cover stop nice dog she's those dog pajamas nice they make them for humans too I want one... your pet is living larger dear..lol👍
There's loads of old quarries round there to tuck away in, every time I go I find somewhere new, great for a sheltered camp.
Haha yep she's had a good life alright! 👍😁
Great video some good tips for the Dog campers brilliant channel keep them coming atb The Mooster😎🤘
Thanks mooster! Got another couple of bids lined up. Was in the lakes this weekend - stunning weather 😁😁😁😁
@One girl and her dog Weather been not too bad in Lakes bet ya got some good shots keep them coming wooo hoooo atb The Mooster😎👍
Hi good tips hadnt thought of needing extra food for the dog . The styles are always an awkward moment my dog plays dead which never helps. Although luckily I found some slideable panels in edale at the weekend which someone deserves an MBE for! Monty python cant beat it just couldnt work out which sketch your impression was from😂.
The Holy hand grenade - the number shall be 3 hahaha!
Playing dead is better than a 30kg wriggly worm who wants nothing to do with going over that fence/wall/rock scramble 🤣
Tbf I have a labrador they're always hungry 🤣
Ofcourse didnt think of the films😂 . I do an ok impression of the sourceror in that scene😂.
@@craoutdoors6827 my name is Tim the enchanter and death awaits you all with big pointy teeth 🤣
“You don’t know how much of the world is edible until you’ve owned a Labrador.” That is so funny, I thought my Border Collie was the only dog in the world who tried to eat everything..
Haha at least it saves on food costs 🤣
Hey Kat,. awesome video, kinda wish I could bring my cats camping with me 🥰 love love love the illuminous coat 🥰 awesome towel, shame I don't have one 😉 just an idea but I use the oex leviathan ev 900, relatively cheap at around£100 so that might be good for her 👍 awesome video, hope to catch you on a camp soon, gimme a shout if you fancy it, atb, Paul 🙏🏕️🏕️🏕️😁
Cheers dude, yeah it's a great towel shame I can't find it 🤣 Only prob with the leviathon is size. Carrying 2 winter bags plus a tent, I'd not get much else in my bag (it's only 46l). It's a good thought tho, I had thought about giving her my summer bag but Im not that generous for her to ruin it 🤣 Funny everyone seems to love her PJs 😁 Defo up for another camp! I need to get some solos in tho, only done 2 in the last couple of months, it's killing me, not used to all these collabs 🤣 let me kno if u guys r up at the permission 😉
My very old dog (Rat terrier) once charged at a sheep and her young on dartmoor... i saw the sheep turn to the younguns.."OK this is a slo-mo rehearsal"... "move laterally" they walked sideways afew yards... and my dog lost interest...but still she was very proud of herself... ATB
Walked sideways like crabs?! I've never seen sheep move like that but it would be funny if they did! 🤣
Maybe your terrier was a collie in another life bless him 🤣
Surely tip no1 should be make sure you have a dog ? 😉
Nice video Kat 👍🏻
Well that would be a good start 🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂
You and your pooch are my favourite channel now! Watching it whilst on treadmill and laughing to myself 🤦🏼♀️🤣
Wowsers that's high praise indeed! They will only get better too - I'm upgrading audio and camera gear soon! 😁
I just took my dog Tommy for his second camp 2 weeks ago .First try was a disaster he would not settle down so we were back home by midnight.This last try we had a freind come with us and and Tommy was a lot more settled down , the only time he was not happy was when some people walked by , Tommy could hear them and smell them but he was a lot more settled .Take it slow and your dogs will get to love being out :)
Aww so glad to hear your 2nd attempt went better! I'm sure you'll have many adventures to come by the sound of it! 👍😁
good tips thnkng of takeing my dog camping with me soon in the peaks distric i have a american bullldog she two years old i no a place near lodge moor so i take her therre it is near a reservoirs

_Aw Xena is lush. One thing you didn't mention about dogs and sheep is its very important to have absolute control over your canine friend because farmers will often exercise their right to shoot any dog they deem as out of control and stressing their stock. Check your Facebook messages when you see this. I will post you some pictures of dog leads I braid from paracord. If you pick some colours and which size/colour clasp you want I'll put you on my list for a free one_
She's my best friend and adventure dog :) You're absolutely right, in my Yorkshire Dales video i do warn people of this especially as it was lambing season. Thank you for your kind message and very generous offer - I've replied separately :)
We tragically lost two dogs that way. My brother took them pig hunting and they chased some livestock. The farmer shot them both - no questions asked.
@@freeradical77 oh god, what a terrible thing to happen so sorry for your loss! Pig hunting though, I'm guessing this is not in the UK?
@@Wild.cat.adventures Correct - this was in NZ in the 80s.
@@freeradical77 ahh I guess that goes some way to explaining it.
Great vid ! It is VERY important to remember particularly in ie long grass, bush land et TICKS. Ticks themselves do not cause disease but if a tick is infected with a virus or bacterium, then that pathogen can be transmitted through the tick's bite and cause disease in humans (dogs). Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is a common tick-borne disease in Europe (along with Lyme borreliosis - Lyme disease.) The most common symptoms of tickborne diseases are: Fever and/or chills: Patients can experience fever at varying degrees and time of onset. Aches and pains: Tickborne disease symptoms include headache, fatigue, and muscle aches. With Lyme disease you may also experience joint pain.😗WORMS - There are four common types of intestinal worms in dogs, they are: roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms. The symptoms of each type of worm vary, as does the way in which dogs can be infected. 👀READ up and do your research on these plus the treatments/ protections for YOU (yes an adult can have problems with BOTH) . 😗Fleas, lice et Good idea is to air your sleeping bag, other materials in the hot sun .. does wonders re bed bugs and et Lastly, when you are aware of livestock around you, you will incur the wrath of the landowner / farmer if your dog is NOT secured on a leash. By law your animal MUST be safely secured.. I grew up on a farm in Cornwall and I can tell you when I was young I actually saw a tourists dog shot when it took off in a field of pregnant cattle.. it could have caused the cattle to abort.. 😗It would NOT respond to the owner re recall et You do NOT want that to happen to your dog.. but you can if such happens end up in serious trouble for not being in control of your dog et 👀
Yep again all true, I hope your comment is read by others less knowledgeable 👍
@@Wild.cat.adventures We had two Labradors and they both suffered from arthritis which can happen when they get older so DO watch that. There are some supplements you can get as your dog gets older that help ease ie pain and et
Great video! Hope you dont mind if we share on our campsite page?
Not at all please do! 😁 👍
Send me a link please 😉
hi, just found you through mcm outdoors.i wild camp alot I started on Christmas day just gone . have you experienced ticks in the Peak District . my little friend comes with me everywhere I go , she's a velcro dog and gets seriously stressed when where not together . I check her for ticks and have a tick remover thing . I've asked people with dogs if they've experienced ticks and some say yes some say no , what is your experience . I like your videos , I think girl wild campers make better content than the boys, I don't know why . look forward to more content. take care bro.
Cheers mate! Only place she's had ticks in the peaks was white edge where the deer are. Otherwise you're good to go! Generally u'll find ticks where wild animals graze like deer and horses. Dartmoor is really bad for this reason 😉
@@Wild.cat.adventures ok, thank you for replying and the advice . take care bro..
@@martyl425 no problem hope u have some adventures with your dog! The seresto collar is brilliant btw I could see ticks jump back off her!
@@Wild.cat.adventures thank you.
My dog kept getting in my sleeping bag with me to sleep which was a bit of a pain as she drags me off my pad in the night.
So I bought her a zlight foam mat and cut it in half and bought a naturehike sleeping bag of her own.
And she still gets in my sleeping bag and we still fall off my pad. !! 😂😂😂
I can never sleep with ear plugs in as I always wanna hear what's outside and just in case I get trampled by cows in the night and at least i could hear I'm getting trampled by cows in the night 😂😉
Haha sounds about right xena somehow manages to take up a whole double bed if allowed 🤣
Yh I dont tend to like ear buds either, but at 3am I wanted sleep lol! ATB 👩&🐕
P.p.s Funniest thing is how you've rolled up her sleeves on her Day-Glo coat🤣
Sometimes one falls down and she looks like a gangster with 1 leg up, 1 leg down 🤣
Waaaooooo❤
Cheers 😁
P.s. don't sweat it mate. Luckily dogs don't give a ☆☆☆☆ how daft we make 'em look🤓😃👍🙏
Haha xena certainly doesn't bless her! 🤣😁
👍
Cheers
Thank for the vid. A word of advice, avoid stringing guy lines across footpaths!! 😁
I don't normally but it is a rarely used path. I wouldn't normally camp anywhere near a path 😁👍
