Shamus please tell us you are OK.....Youve been quiet for months! Miss you 😟
Seconded! I was following you closely but haven't heard from you since the pandemic?!
Hi Jonny, all is well now, but I wasn’t for a while. I’m in the middle of moving house with everything in storage at the moment, once we’ve settle I’ll be back up and running 👍😊🐶
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 Oh gosh that doesn't sound 100% positive but I'm glad you're on the mend Shamus! Really looking forward to seeing your Dartmoor videos again, but don't rush back if you need more time. I'm just happy you're OK. Take care!
@@outdoorsinspiration9284I have just watched your 6 tips for camping with a dog, hoping to see adventures of Shamus and Petra. Wishing you both well
Shamus! Are there new videos coming we miss you!!!
Hello Shamus...and on behalf of all your viewers I would like to thank you for the wonderful productions and informative content. Sincerely hope you are keeping well. All the best..as you can see from the comments..you are missed.
Great video.enjoyed it a Lot. 😊😊😊
Thank you 😊 I appreciate that 😊👍🐶
Going through all your videos. Love your down to Earth, no nonsense approach. Please come back and do some more hiking/camping videos, we miss you.
That’s very kind, thank you - back soon 🐶 😊🐶
Hi Shamus, I've been enjoying catching up on all your videos since I've discovered your channel. I've noticed that it's been quite a few months since you last posted, so I just wanted to send you good wishes. I hope you're keeping well. Looking forward to your next video, hopefully some time soon! All the best.
Any news :) Are you ready for a big comeback ?
Hopefully you will be doing more videos soon :) Really enjoyed watching them all.
Petra and Shamus - Really enjoyed this film once again. Its fantastic to be taken through your winter camping experience. Tent looked solid and great to see Petra close to you in the tent and later having so much fun in the snow. How dare you give her the prolite, she should have been on the NeoAir Xtherm!
Thanks Tom, we couldn't have both of us sleeping on 'crisp packet' mats - the noise would have been unbearable 😂
we want more! come on Shamus, brilient personality and great content.
Thanks Carl - back soon 👍🐶😊
Hello Shamus, I haven't seen a new video posted on your channel in recent weeks, and so I just wanted to say a belated Happy New Year to you and Petra. I hope you're keeping safe and well. As ever, I look forward to your next video on your fab channel. Until then, enjoy your Chicken Korma's (with rice! :)) and happy hiking and wild camping. Best wishes, Pete!
Hi Pete 😊 Thanks for popping in to comment - normal service will be resumed shortly - onwards and upwards 👍🐶👍
A man a tent and a dog. Got to love it. Great content. 😎
Petra says, especially the dog bit 🐶 Thank you 🐶👍😊
Hey Shamus, I'm really missing seeing you. Are you OK? I'm on nights all thru this lovely weather (on covid ward) and I wish you could show me what I'm missing on dartmoor right now😔
It's great that you can just get out like this. Being where I live I have to plan trips to decent gnarly countryside. I have formerly always looked at camping as something to do at the end of a long day hiking. However, having seen various content, including this excellent channel, I now see the benefit of a quick jaunt out.
Thank you Ian 😊 To be honest, I would rather have a good hike as well, you always sleep better. But the snow was about to drop and an opportunity was there - I'm lucky that I can just respond in that way 😊👍🐶
Excellent video as ever Shamus. Would love to hear more about the work, jobs, experiences you've had... the husky tale and pics were great
Thank you Laurence 😊 👍🐶
Yes, you see I'm not the only one who's fascinated to hear of your exciting trips and work in Antarctica! Do share more.... It helps pass time over dreary evenings!
Shamus is a chap I could sit and listen to for ages, very fascinating. Shamus should do a one man show !
@@michaeldesouza4911 One man and his dog has already been done 😂 but thank you 😊
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 where for art though?, I'm missing your content
Nice video my friend. I love the bond you have with Petra. It’s a pleasure to watch.
Keep up the good work.
ATB
Rob
Thank you Rob, I really appreciate that 😊👍🐶
New to the channel love your video's very informative.
I'm going out local on Saturday to practice navigation after watching your video.
Any more videos on the way.
Hi Shamus,
I just discovered your videos so Im late to the game. But if you are still monitoring our comments I would like to know how and what you and Petra are doing.
Love your wild camping episodes. More Petra please!
Thanks Bruce, we just have to get through this lockdown 😊👍🐶
Hope all is well with you and yours, missing your videos as I'm sure many are. Haste ye back.
Hi Shamus, hope your well, your vids are missed mate, hopefully there is nothing wrong your end, look forward to you starting the channel again, stay safe 👍
Thanks Paul - all is well and we’ll be back very soon 👍🐶😊
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 Hi Shamus, that’s great news, glad you and yours are well, look forward to seeing more of the stunning landscape of Dartmoor and Petra (yes I was enthralled by BP pets too) and your good self. Thanks P.
Hi Shamus, hope you, Petra & family are well. Hopefully see you back out with the videos soon, lockdown has hit many in different ways.
Hope everything is well with you and you managed to get moved into your new home.
Good to see you both back, I was getting a little concerned as it's been a while 😀 Nice to the Moor under the first white blanket of the year. Glad you enjoyed it, but not nearly as much as Petra lol 🤣 I like the Cumulus sleep systems also, I rate them highly and agree with the lofting, it's quite amazing!
Hi Jonathan, thank you 😊 I had been a little ill for a bit and took a week out 👍😊🐶
Hi Shamus, just touching in to see how are you and Petra are ? Gosh, hasn’t the weather turned, very cold but at least no camping at the moment 😩 have you been getting out walking a lot ? Be nice to hear from you. Best wishes Michael.
Hi Michael. I was asking the same thing. Gone quiet!
@@Fellmandave1 it’s very strange, Shamus was on here twice weekly and then all of a sudden disappeared. It’s a real shame at it was him that inspired me to start wild camping.
Was thinking the same one of the best outdoor content this was
Superb again, really interesting info on the huskies. You should do more of it. Thanks
Thank you Paul 👍😊🐶
Great trip, loved it. Off up to Braemar after work on Friday for a cheeky overnight and early morning hike
That sounds fantastic - at least the snow will stick around for you 👍😊🐶
Seamus are you ok where are you ? Some of us are worried please let us know u are safe.
What a wonderful video Shamus. I really hope that all is well with you and Petra. It's been a while since you posted but hope more vids are on the way this summer. Thank you- terrific!
Nice to see the snow brings out the child/puppy in you both!... why do dogs like snow so much?
Thanks John, I did have a snowball fight with Petra as well... But it seemed a little one sided 😂 Dogs see the world trough scent as much as anything else, I thing fresh snow must seem like an amazing sensory experience, where the ground scent has been masked. 🐶👍
Lovely to watch you are Petras adventures. Great story about the huskys. Wow tough dogs.
Thanks for sharing with us.
ATB - Phill🙏
Thank you Phill - 😊 ⛄️ 🐶
Hi Shamus, just to say a big thanks as I really enjoyed your latest instalment! It was lovely to see the moors with some snow and Petra having lots of fun! Which tor did you set camp under? I always look forward to your postings and just to let you know your outdoor inspirations really do inspire! Stay safe and woof to Petra! Cheers, Pete
Hi Pete, that's very kind, thank you 😊 We just nipped up to Great Staple - it was virtually dark when we set out, so we didn't have much time 👍🐶😊
Are you taking a break from your channel or have you given up on it? Quite enjoyed your videos!
Evening Chap, I want to echo the last commenter and say I have really enjoyed looking through your back catalogue the last few weeks, I think I've watched them all now! Are you taking a break as I'd love to see more adventures of you and Petra camping out in all weathers.. Excellent videos. hope to see you back on the air soon. all the best, GJ
7 months since the last video, everything okay Seamus? Missing your videos dude
Back soon Ollie - I hope 🤞
Terrific vid. Didn't stop smiling from start to finish. The dogs you worked with were so beautiful. Watching petra having fun in the snow warmed my heart. Great stuff. Thanks Ian.
Thank you Ian, every dog I've ever had seems to love the freshness of snow 😊👍🐶
More tales from your past PLEASE
Thanks Peter - normal service will be resumed 😊🐶👍
In a terrible year for everyone I have to say that discovering your “Outdoors Inspiration” channel Shamus has been one of the highlights of 2020 for me. Watched every episode and enjoyed each and every one. Thank you.
I'm so glad something that never done this year can bring a bit of cheer, thank you 😊👍🐶 and woof from Petra 🐕
Totally agree. A joy to watch
Hope all is well with you, missing your humourous, educational and entertaining videos.
Shamus, have you given up on your great channel?
Good video mate.
Enjoyed that, funny the music to your dog running 🤣🤣👍
I see you've not done any videos for a while.
Hope things are ok and if so i look forward to more of your videos hopefully
Shamus. PLEASE do some new films. These are the best wild camping and outdoor sources by a mile. From someone who knows what they speak of.
Hi Jason, thank you 😊 I certainly intend to, I’m currently moving house with everything in storage, so as soon as I’ve settled I’ll be back on the case 👍
Much appreciated
New to your channel and absolutely loving the videos. Please keep them coming! :)
Great video, my friend! Great winter camp! Enjoyed watching, your and bushcraft skills are terrific! And the surrounding nature is amazing. Cheers from Russia, bruv, and welcome to my channel about special Russian bushcraft tips and hacks! Best Regards, Yuriy! 😊😄
Sharing a tent with dog must be nice if there's room, it probably adds some warmth too. I've never shared a tent with a dog but did share once with a squirrel, I didn't realise until I woke up and saw biscuit crumbs on my sleeping bag - then looked round next to me to see a grey squirrel frozen in mid-bite holding my last jaffa cake.
Haha 😂 😆 🤣 Now that is funny! I don't know about the dog adding warmth, I would like to think so. I do know she adds, mud, hair, damp and condensation 🐶 She started moulting during this trip.
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 That seems like bad timing - moulting during a snowfall but maybe it's normal, I haven't a clue.
The worst thing about the squirrel story (apart from having to sew up the hole it chewed in the inner) was that those jaffa cakes were limited edition ones and I had to wait another 15yrs before they re-released that flavour and I could finally see how they tasted 🤣
@@justvin7214 - Oh no! Tuffty the Terror of the Tent Treats, Snaffles Rare Jaffa 😂😅😊
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 Haha I'd forgotten about Tufty lol we're showing our age now 🤣
@@justvin7214 🐿
Hi Shamus. Just bouncing back and rewatching some of your videos. In fact it was your style and quality that encouraged me to up my game. So, no pressure, but are you coming back?
Hey shamus.Hope you are well.Havent seen any fantastic vids from you in a while.Hope everything is ok?
Shamus, this is a comment about your channel and your content (which I have watched in their entirety over the past 2 days). Absolutely fantastic stuff, thank you for all the effort you put into producing this content, I'm really looking forward to the release of the the next epic. Does Petra sign autographs? Great work, thanks!
Thank you very much, Ian 😊 I really appreciate the tremendous positive feedback and your time to watch the channel. Petra sends a woof 🐶😊🐶
When it comes to camping and outdoor videos you take the biscuit. I love your style clear and interesting with the added touch of humour. But once again Petra is the star of the show, l loved watching her enjoy the snow. Keep safe see you next time Shamus
Thank you Steven 😊 Petra did enjoy the snow, that's for sure 👍🐶
Looked cosy inside the tent with Petra. Petra had fun in the snow and it clear you love Petra very much. Don't blame you.
Thank you, Marina - she is a sweet dog 😊🐶👍
Enjoying your videos, just wondering when next ones are coming as been a while. Hope all is ok.
Your family must think you're absolutely nuts going out in the dark to camp in a snowstorm!
Perhaps put in your written summary you could put a rough idea of where you were? (I couldn't make it out at all).
Useful info on the equipment needed to stay warm.
Really enjoyed seeing Petra playing excitedly in the snow - and the shot of her sitting next to the snowman (but you should have made a snow dog!).
More of your Antarctic memories and snaps please.... So interesting to us normal people who will never go there. What happened to the repatriated dogs?
You too stay safe and take care.
Hi Peter, the dogs went to work with an Inuit team if I recall correctly, they were flown north at the end of Summer 1994.
SNOW DOG! 😂 Yes, I missed a trick - next time🐶👍
You need to come back mate and do more videos. One of the most genuine, unique, and knowledgeable folks I’ve seen that does outdoor vids! One of the best outdoor content out there definitely!
Thank you Aaron, that’s very kind. I will be back shortly after we have moved house. Along with Petra’s puppy, Scout. 😊🐶👍
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 glad to hear that! Happy to know you are okay and Petra (the cutest German Shepherd there is) has now a pup! 🐶 Goodluck with moving home as well - guess it is still within Dartmoor? Haha.
I’ve been re-watching your videos for the past year while waiting for your new uploads haha. Can’t wait to see more content from you. Excited for it. 😊👍
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 Petra’s had a pup! ❤ wow over the moon. Can’t wait to see you both again.
Woof 🐶 Thank you 😊
Everything alright? was enjoying your videos then nothing hope you're alright buddy.
Thanks for asking, it’s be Ry much appreciated. Various bits of life got in the way. Just in the process of moving house - will certainly be back with more content in the new year 😊👍🐶
Love your vids Shamus very informative and well put together and Petra is a little star. Thanks so much for sharing 👍 atb Al
Thank you Al 😊 I appreciate you watching 😊👍🐶
Shamus I hope you are OK? Not seen any content for over a year! Have you not been well or have you decided not to do anymore videos? Please let us all know.
Regards
Matthew
Hi Matthew, thanks for asking. We’ll be back soon I hope. Petra had had puppies, we kept one so he will be joining in with some of our outings 🐶🐶🐶
Thank you for replying and it's great to know Petra has had puppies. Just so pleased to know that you and Petra are OK and that you haven't ended your you tube channel or stopped making videos. Personally I don't do wild camping as I am epileptic and would be dangerous to do so in the middle of nowhere. I just enjoy watching your videos and Petra along listening to your story's and words of wisdom. Looking forward to your future videos along with Petra and her new pup.
Regards
Matthew.
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 congrats to Petra and her new pups and your good self Shamus! Keep checking back on your channel just in case! I still rewatch your videos, incredibly useful and entertaining.
Hi Shamus
Hope your well and ok .
Just wanted to check in with you .
So love your channel and really helped me with my map reading .
Hope your out again really soon
Atb Graham 👍
Hi Graham, thanks for looking in on us 👍😊🐶
BTW, I checked out that sleeping bag and see it's around £300! That's far more than the average person can afford. Are you able to recommend something from a normal shop that would be suitable for winter camping?
Hi Peter - I would look at the Alpkit Pipedream and Skyehigh range 👍
whats happened to saemus and petra? missing the content, hope all is ok
Thanks for checking 😊 we took some time out for lockdown, we’re back very shortly, but Petra is expecting a litter in a few weeks 🐶🐶🐶🐶
I hope we will be introduced to the puppies.
You now you are going to get some stick when you drop a new video keeping us all waiting this long😝
You have created a great channel Seamus🍻
Hi Shamus, I don’t know if you’re still monitoring this channel as I know you’ve not posted for a while. Just thought I’d drop you a message and see if you were still getting out and about.
I know you don’t have to film every time you go out but your channel is one of my favourites and I miss seeing your videos with Petra.
Hope you’re well and I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers
Rob
Thanks Rob, we appreciate you checking in on us :) Still getting out and about and hopefully back up and running on UA-cam shortly
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 That’s great news. Thanks for replying 👍😊
Hello, nice place for overnight! Stay safe! PT
Thank you PT 😊👍🐶
Shamus hope you are ok and keeping safe, you haven’t posted on a while and just checking in on you !!
Thank you 😊 All is well, but various complexities surrounding lockdown and restrictions have been disruptive - back VERY soon 😊👍🐶
I really enjoyed watching that. The slides from the past were also interesting. Petra cam always makes me smile. Never knew that about windchill. Thumbs up well done 👍
Thank you 😊 Wind chill is often used to 'overstate' the air temperature - but the air temperature is what it is - as wind passes of the skin it make it feel colder, but it actually isn't - but it will cool down quicker 👍🐶😊
Just wondering if you are going to post any more videos? You have the best UK wild camping channel that I have found, so hope you have not decided to stop.
Hi David, thank you that’s very kind 😊 I will be doing stack loads of videos, but I have paused due to lock down. I arrived in Wales and the country locked down, then when I returned to Dartmoor England locked down... the lawn has been like a swimming pool so that has rules out ‘garden stuff’ - So absolutely yes, much more to come but I want to make the best quality that I can. 👍😊🐶
Thank you again for asking, your comment is so encouraging for me.
Hi Shamus - really enjoyed watching your content. Any more on the way?
Thanks Robert - I’m currently moving house, once settled there will be plenty more 👍😊🐶
Another great video Shamus ,and the Lady P. Of course 👍🐾🐾🐾👍🐺👍🥶🥶❄❄🥃☕☕🤘
Thank you Andy - woof 🐶 from Petra 😊👍🐶
Nice video. Out of interest what is the red smock jacket that you are wearing in this video? Looks like a good bit of kit. Thanks
Thanks James 😊 It's a Paramo Velez. I was wearing Salopettes that evening so a short smock was all I needed to keep any weather out. 🐶😊👍
Hello mate. Just a quick hello and hoping all okay 👍 all the best.
Hi David, thank you. All well 🐶😊👍
Where did you go mate?
Loved the video Shamus seemed ages ago since watching your last one could you manage 2 a week please 🤣 anyway stay safe 👍👍
Haha 😂 I was managing two a week, but I've been a bit unwell so too a little time out - Thanks for watching 😊👍🐶
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 sorry to hear that Shamus hope your on the mend 💪👍
@@wozwandering4255 - Getting there, thank you 👍😊🐶
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 Hi Shamus hope your keeping well been a while since you posted stay safe 💪💪👍🏴
Hi! I'm in the market for a 4 season hilleberg tent under 3.5 kg with a footprint. It has to be suitable in strong winds (70 mph) and harsh weather. It also has to be roomy enough for me and my kit and the odd occasion when I may take a medium size dog(depending on the weather the dog can sleep in the vestibule). Ventilation is a big thing for me aswell.
If you could help that would be great. All the best dan!
Great vid shamus as always loved the story .
Did any of the dogs go back to the uk
Thanks Graham 😊 No they went to work with an Inuit team in North America, hopefully they carried on the line 👍😊🐶
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 Thats Good 😃
Jake and Elwood, chuckle...ATB
Haha 😂 And Biff was named after Biffa Bacon from Viz comic 👍
Love the videos helped me in planning my navigation hike exercise in Dartmoor at the end of the year for a couple days before I go back to the army life... :/ :) hoping to go from north dartmoor to the south part and all around using a map and compass need to home in my skills a little no better way to learn than practically xD Thanks for the videos .. Legend .
Thank you Nate 😊 I appreciate that 😊👍🐶
Trusty old paramo out i see.. love my new evolution smock..expensive but quality...excellent video as usual.. 💪💪
Thanks Ian - I was wearing Paramo Salopettes - they ensure a dry day messing about in the snow 👍😊🐶
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 excellent.. I have the paramo trousers not salopettes.. very warm but zips right up the leg excellent for venting....keep the videos coming love them all...💪💪
Another great video I think Adrew would sweat in that sleeping bag 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 keep them coming really good video mate x
Thanks Jace 😊 I think he would too 👍😂🐶
Great video, I enjoyed the section and images of working with Huskys. The lighting in the morning looked superb for filming. More please Shamus more!
Thanks Gordon, you're right, the following day's light looked just right while I was heading home 😊🐶👍
Can I ask what thermal jacket Petra is wearing?
It's a cheap thing from Pets at Home - it is very light and compacts down very small - It's fleece with a nylon shell. The only time she wears it is in the tent, it isn't robust enough fo anything else. She has another Ruffwear jacket which is far most sturdy for keeping the weather off, but we don't take that wild camping because the is generally wearing the palisades pack 🐶👍🐶
Sorry Petra! Too spicey for pooches🤣
I don't understand why she prefers it to dog kibble 😂
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 🤣🤣🤣
What a lovely views up on dartmoor alittle to cold for me rather go in the summer
It was lovely Ellen 👍😊🐶
Hi, really enjoying your videos so far. I came accross your channel because I have been looking into the Anjan 2 for pretty much the same things as you’re using it for, one man and his dog! I had reservations about it being a 3 season tent and it obviously wasn’t a problem in the snow for this trip, but how much further would you trust in more windy or heavier snow/cold conditions? Thanks and keep doing what you’re doing!
Thank you Stuart 😊 have you seen my video with Anjan in the wind? I’ve used it in wind rain and now snow. At the end of the day, it is a 3 season tent, but the space and weight is great because it just seems to cope with whatever is thrown at it. I can’t really say more than that, I wouldn’t want to mislead you, however, I’ll continue to use it throughout winter and believe that it’s absolutely up for the task. If the wind is too punishing I would probably take a 4 season tent, I have a Soulo and and Akto. 😊
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 I have seen your other video yes thank you. Just never had a tunnel tent before and feel a bit skeptical. Also Hilleberg tents are no where to be found right now so other options such as the Akto just aren’t viable. Need to move away from the ‘one tent does all’ mindset really. Thanks for taking the time to reply
Happy New Year to you Shamus. How are you ? Well back into another lockdown 😟 I did manage to get a camp in last week, my first winter one at minus 2 !! It was ok but it told me I needed a 4 season mat and a better sleeping bag. Will watch your kit video for ideas. I have just ordered some Scarpa Terra boots today, so looking forward to receiving. Expect it is a bit chilly down in Devon at the moment ? Best wishes Michael.
Thanks Michael - how are the boots behaving?
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 Hey Shamus, lovely to hear from you. Boots arrived on Sat and not had chance to wear them as yet, long walk planned for later this week. I had to go up a size in the boot ! How are you ?
Someone else was recommending Cumulus kit as being very light - not as light as PHDesign stuff but a fraction of the cost. Not had any direct experience of it myself but it looks good and competitively priced for down gear.
I have a cumulus down quilt and underquilt, doesn't come treated with hydrophobic down unless you pay extra but I really rate the quality
I would say so 👍
I would say the quality knocks Rab into a cocked hat, but I have never owned PHD or Western Mountaineering kit.
You OK sir? Haven't had a recent video from you? Anything planned? 💕
Thanks for keeping an eye out 😊 Normal service will be resumed shortly, but lockdown has brought it's own complications 👍😊🐶
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 STILL missing you!!! 😢
What's happened to you and you channel, 8 months no video, no community posts, nothing. I trust the COVID didn't get you?
Hi Shamus, hope your well and after reading the comments see you having some down time. Was wondering why you have been so quiet. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we can't wait for your return. Say safe
Thank you very much Lee 😊 Back with some videos soon 👍
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 just checking in. Stay well
I was just thinking the same as Polar London, it would be great to hear about life in such a cold climate, especially the camps out on the ice. Entertaining as always Shamus 👍
Thank you John 😊🐶👍
Hi Seamus and beautiful Petra...I need to tap your fountain of knowledge and wisdom...are there any permissible hammock spots where one can hang out?...onwards and upwards.😀✌️👍
Brilliant shamus and wow what an a,axing scene to awake to mate . Brilliant
Thank you 😊 If it were just a tad colder, perhaps it may have lasted longer 👍🐶
Merry Christmas Shamus, hope you are well, not seen you on You Tube ? Love to Petra. Take care and stay safe.
Thanks Michael - Merry Christmas 🎄😊 - just having a moment of ‘down time’ see you soon back on the channel. All the best 🐶🐶🐶
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 well wishing you all the best, you are missed. Best wishes Michael.
Hi live live not far from you and wild camp pew tor and sheep's tur. What budget one man's and his two dog tent could you guid me towards. I'm on a budget and want to do more winter wild camping. Thanks in advance.
Hi Andy 😊 I don’t really do ‘recommendations’, I just waffle on about the kit that I use, that way I don’t pretend to have knowledge of gear I haven’t used. However, the answer really would depend on a number of factors you might want to ask yourself for instance a) what weather you might expect? b) what is your actual budget?
The Berghaus Brecon 2 looks good to me for a sizeable tent for two dogs - they had two ex display one in Go Outdoors for £60 / £70 but normally can be had for £120 - the tent looks pretty solid, but relatively heavy. A really good investment for size would be a Hex style tent Bob at backpackinglight sells them but you’re into £200 by then. OEX tents are cheaper by far, but the quality isn’t great, if you look on my videos you will see my views on an OEX Rakoon 2.1 around £80 but not going to take a winter blow to be fair. And then there is always dependable Vango - a two person tunnel tent would be cheap and light enough with space for 2 dogs.
Anyway, those aren’t recommendations, just my thoughts. I hope it helps 😊👍
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 than that's give me ideas. I understand your view on recommendations. I'll watch moor 😂 of your adventures. Great vids BTW. Never know you mite see us about. Take care
Refreshing to see you and your dog in the hills. Brings on a smile. Miss both. First time I've seen your Channel. Won't be the last. Very good. Thanks.
Thank you 😊 Very much appreciated 🐶👍😊
Wow you have had a very interesting life. Thanks for the story about the dogs it was very interesting. Does Petra not puncture the air mat. I have been thinking about that but worried the dog bursts it. Really enjoyed watching. Great information. 👍
Hi Steve, yes I've .. ahem, been about a bit 😂 None of my dogs have damaged any of my camping equipment, I use quality gear that is made from sometimes 'fine' materials but I work on the basis that if an accident happens, it happens 😊 But... fingers crossed 🤞 It never has happened, I don't go out of my way to protect anything, as you can see 👍
Hello Shamus. Glad to hear nothing punctured. Sometimes when I'm in the Soulo and I'm with the dog I take a Bivi to put my sleeping mat in. To protect it from the dogs claws. So when I saw Petra on the mat, I said why do I bother lol.
I used to cover my sleeping bag with a lightweight bivvi to stop ‘doggyness’ - I just accept that if she does puncture it, I’ll have to repair it... but she doesn’t 😊
Hi Shamus. Is all ok with you and yours? You've been quiet
Hi David - all is well, thank you 😊 just keeping my head down between various lockdown measures. Normal service will be resumed shortly 👍🐶👍
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 Glad to hear.
Love you channel very educational. And the fact you camp with your dog. . I've been into wildcamping for many years . But never confidant in my map reading skills. Who would you recommend for a teaching such knowledge
Great to see you and Petra back out Shamus. Cracking job of the Snowman, Kim thinks it had the same haircut as you abs I. 😂👍🏻
Haha 😂 It had more hair than me 😊👍🐶
Thank you for the video! Was this on Saturday? I was meant to go but cancelled because of the weather. With snow and cold conditions how big an impact does the tent play in keeping you warm?
It was Thursday Night / Friday, the snow had gone by Saturday. The inner of the tent can raise the temperature, that's because you are radiating heat within it. The biggest impact the tent has is keeping you sheltered.
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 thanks for the info. I think the mesh inner for my DD pyramid tent should do the trick. 🤞 thanks again!
another great vlog shamus and petra what a loyal loving companion she is .
Hi Danny 😊 Thank you, she really is a fantastic dog 😊🐶👍
Recently discovered your channel. Love Petra ! Your navigation video is the best I have found on UA-cam. Simple, to the point and a good refresher. Hope to see another video soon.
Adding to the others comments...
missed you and came here to see how you are. I do hope you'll be back soon, with Petra and puppy (woof-woof-wag to them, btw).
Thank you 😊 I really appreciate that … 😊👍🐶
Thoroughly enjoy your videos. Always interesting. I had a German shepherd who would go out through her dog door to lie in the snow during the day. I was eating lunch once looking out if the window and to my amazed horror a snow mound suddenly stood up, shook off the snow and wandered back into the house!
Thanks Felicity - now that would have been a hilarious sight to see 👍😊😂
