Hello to all of my loyal subscribers, new ones and passers by to this video ❤I love reading your comments and responding…I will dip in and out throughout the day to read them it’s always exciting when I see another one pop up in my notifications 🔔 thank you! Thank you for your gifts 🎁 of appreciation how wonderful! I’m off out for coffee with a friend…warmest wishes to you all on this dull day in Sheffield ✨ Sarah
It were a good night that one Sarah though bitterly cold in the morning in that wind but what a sunrise eh..grand belt of venus you had there i really like to see those sky's I'll let you in on how that blue & pink light is formed some time.. Seems we were both feeling all sentimental I ended up going into how I first went up kinder in my school days & how I ended up feeling like I'm returning home when I've not camped up there for a while.. That day with Sarah we had up kinder was a great day wasn't it how we just extended the walk off the cuff & headed down in the dark..all in good fun eh 😆 tfs & take care..Andy.
Hey Andy, I may have mentioned you a few times in my videos along with Paul and Patrick! 😊 you certainly helped me get ready for my first escape to the peat and heather landscapes of the Peaks in my tent. Meeting you (and Sarah) was the cherry on top. 🙏🏻 a good all round genuine family man! I think it’s become really important as I’ve delved into the UA-cam abyss to understand that there are real humans behind the videos that we make. I think we share the same passions. For our homes, family and that of the peaks. Feels like home, as glorious as the Lakes and Scotland are there’s a vibe about the peaks that is potent beyond my human understanding. I’ll look forward to your musings about this sentiment in your video (if you filmed it) thanks for sharing that and I’ll see ya on the next one wether that be in person or int’ tube! Need to reschedule a Sarah Walk and my quest for Aztec rock 😉ATB, Sarah
Thank you for teaching and listening to my musings, it was so silent there I felt like whispering ☺️ by 2am it was far from it and I was soon reminded that I was in the direct path of the gusting ice wind that was knocking the tent about to lull me back to sleep! Ha ha! ATB, Sarah
A lovely relaxing camp Sarah, and yes it is your time out there, and so its your time to talk as much as you like, and keep us entertained. Its looking like people will be queing up to camp at Pat's place, don't know what i would do if I planned a camp up there and found someone already there ! Anyway until the next one, we may see you back on kinder......thanks Pat
Hi Pat, thanks for stopping by 😊I have since found some more suitable spots close by but believe if you wish…that spot calls me in at the right time when there’s nobody there, I just get a feeling on the day with where to go unless it is up on Kinder, which does require a little more travel and planning on my part. Not to mention a more strenuous hike up there with my home on my back. If you are anything like me you’ll quietly scarper and seek out another spot with similar views (I don’t think it’s likely that it will get too busy, many folk just passing through with a flask and biscuit maybe, nice rest point for a walk around the area) hope you are well Pat, enjoying your life to the full as always, recently been watching the tree camps you did, don’t worry though, I don’t think I’m quite ready for that carry on just yet he he 😅 ATB, Sarah ✨ 👑
Great video again lass. I hear them 12 hr unpaid shifts are brutal. My sister in law sita just qualified 2yr ago she said they should at least pay half the nurse rate. She had to take care worker shifts etc and study it was brutal for her as well with my nephews. Thank god the nhs has dedicated people like you and my sister in law working for them take care pal 🖐🏴
Hey 👋🏻 yes I too worked support worker shifts as had to bring in some income on top of the very small bursary all the while getting g deeper into debt for a career I knew would never pay me enough to pay off the student debt before retirement. Crazy system we have her in England. It’s certainly a vocation. I have thoughts to leave the NHS and work for agency. I will have more flexibility with my life and more money in the bank whilst working to care for people using the NHS! Wages are so poor for the responsibilities I have as a senior midwife 👎🏻 I camp to soften the blow 😂
I love watching your videos, your so genuine, and courageous, keep the videos coming we all need the outlet in life that break and therapy in camping 😊
Lovely video and chat,really enjoying your channel.started camping at 64,now 67.yourself and other you tubers always help me to take the next step on my own adventure.i go solo as my mates are not playing unless it's hotels😅.I tend to base camp and when I get back from a days hike my tent to me is my own little savoy,love it.cheers for your hard work.
You are very much the same as me then! As my fitness is building and I am getting into good shape I do wish to hike further for camps and set up after achieving a good hike. I will also be after a lighter shelter too! In the spring and summer. I do class my tent as a 5 star hotel as it protects me against the tough elements and without it I’d sure perish. Simple food always tastes like eating in a fine dining restaurant as it’s usually very well deserved too 😊ATB, happy camps to you, Sarah
Thank you 🤩 I am inspired by the experts but I have found my niche and it seems simplicity and honesty wins for me. Thank you for always watching, ATB, Sarah
Hey Sue! I feel so peaceful…I’m yet to camp in some less than forgiving weather, I wonder if my video will have that same peaceful element? Ha ha! Looking forward to the next camp, work is calling though ☺️BW, Sarah
That's a gradely place you have there Sarah. The kind of place a person could rock up, build a cabin and just eat peat and heather for the rest of their days. The cumulative effect of your camps is evident in this one, you're so relaxed. I reckon a couple more and you'll be so relaxed your family will be carrying you around in a bucket. A large part of your YT success is undoubtedly due to your personal charm. Another contributing factor is your evident pleasure in replying to comments.No mere red heart or a cursory 'Cheers!' from you but a heartfelt and tailored response. When we buy into the SSB experience we get the full works.No half measures. Leonard Cohen sang, ' . . . getting lost in that hopeless little screen.' Well,that's me. Lost in this hopeless little screen. I am lost. So I'm ducking out of YT for a while.But I do so in the knowledge that there will be a whole load of SarahB films for me to binge watch in a few months time. Keep your head down in the grouse shooting season Sarah,we don't want to lose you. TTFN,Mike. Not that I'm saying you look like a grouse.
Hi Mike, in that case I shall respond to you first foremost ✨ thank you! You have picked out all of the main reasons that I love the combo of wild camping and UA-cam. Relaxation, connection and individuality. I feel utterly relaxed in this hobbie and when I upload a video I really do appreciate the feedback from ‘friends’ I enjoy responding and ensuring that the people who watch me understand that there’s a real female human being at the other end of their phone, keyboard. I have actually got more out of this than I’d imagined but like yourself I’m sure I will Enjoy a break from the little Screen in time. It is very time consuming to make vids and respond individually but into my more mature years I have become Expert in fitting a lot in to 24 hrs and understanding when rest is needed in a physical and mental sense. I hope that you enjoy your break and I have always appreciated your heartfelt notes, they have lifted me up when I have read negativity or have felt discomfort aimed in my direction from strangers that aim to bring me down, want to change me or want to give me advice that I don’t need 😂 yep plenty of that kind around, thank you and best wishes Mike, take Taa-raaa for now, Sarah
One of the things I loved most about sleeping wild on Chasewater was the all night sound of the ducks, gulls and swans… they seemed to get quieter just before dawn
Great to see you back up there 'Rattlecan' - there's a name that's stuck LOL. I'd better not ever let you n Jackie meet as the pair of you would never stop blathering on. Life's been getting in the way of me getting out on a camp lately. If I haven't been ill Jackie has been, and what with my band commitments, the best I have managed was a run up Kinder last weekend. At least the weather was good if a little bracing, and I got to see a part of the old girl that I hadn't seen before. I even found someone's pitch up at Seal Stones. Luckily I managed to get rid of the nasal clag that been plaguing me since Christmas so all is good. Got some footage to go through If I get chance this weekend. Shed roof repairs tomorrow, what a treat, NOT. Well done on the 30 days running, keep it up !!
Hey Andy! Thanks for taking the time to write and listening your outings. Sorry you e been unwell. Is women can talk eh? That’s why ya love us 😂I am quiet a lot of the time but I’ll take my new name, I quite like it, proud! I’m itching to get up on Kinder, nothing quite like it, great you had that trip up. The running has certainly given me. A kick up the backside and I’m looking forward to a happier fitter 2024…ATB, look forward to your blatherings 😂Sarah
Ohhhh thank you so much you beautiful human! I had such a lovely coffee date with a great friend who I haven’t seen since September. I will receive my first pay check from UA-cam this month therefore receive your Super Thanks in that…I may consider setting up a buy me a coffee ☕️ I have seen other UA-cam channels do this probably because UA-cam take 45% from your donation xxxxx❤️
I always watch your full video on the morning after you post as the quality has gone through the unfathomable youtube algorithm. This is a beautiful video, your editing skills are brill and the things you talk about make so much sense. The world should all just stop and listen to your wisdom! (but they will need to go and camp anywhere OTHER than the peak District 🙂). Thank you!
I am so glad that I have connected with you Phil, both through my content here and on Instagram. I speak what I feel and if that resonates with you then I feel my job is done, connection with like minded people is what the human spirit is all about and that helps me feel alive. I hope your first run brings a smile to your face , take it steady and share your enthusiasm widely… you never know who’s watching 😉ATB, Sarah
Saved this for tonight's camp . Outnbout near Perth tonight... Cold and very windy... Anyhoo... Another lovely meander through your thoughts, honest and delightfully presented as always... I think Pat's place is on my bucket list.. hopefully one day... Thank you 😊
Another lovely outing with you last night, or the night before!!. My husband is a massive excitable hand rubber, so we had a little chuckle at that and John the mouse!!, he was a right little cutie! Although I wouldn't want him eating my boots, or tent!! 😂.
lol 😂 I knew I wasn’t the only excitable hand runner in town 😂 I think when it all comes together and I’m having the best time I can’t thank Mother Nature enough! Capturing my emotions and silly things I do on camera adds a human touch…did you see Liam up Snowdon with his John mouse I take it? Ha ha! ATB, Sarah
I’ve certainly struggled out there with the cold but the challenge drives me to achieve more. I am glad that I practiced in the summer with all aspects of wild camping before camping into the winter months. Had a great time out with the stars and frost, ATB, Sarah
Thanks so much for this! Ex Sheffield but living on the east coast, it’s lovely to hear the accent! More Hull around here. Keep up the good Work! Lots of love!
Looked a great really peaceful camp Sarah 👌🏻 just the tonic. Cold hands tip if you want it…Hot Hands handwarmers 🔥 gamechangers…used to get them from Halfords but I think they stopped selling them so I just Amazon them now, beware inferior brands, only hot hands bring the heat properly 😂 they last hours too but great in the foot box of your sleeping bag in the night👍🏻 Thanks for taking us along, stay safe
It was truly peaceful this one. Pleasant thoughts as well as calm weather. I use the hot hands, check out my 2nd to last camp in the snow, I spoke about them on that one, they get so hot! I put them in my Rab mittens. Toasty. This camp I took a Yaxtrax instant hand warmer and it was rubbish, didn’t generate much heat at all so I’ll not be getting them again! Thank you for sharing how to stay warm, it’s much appreciated ☺️BW, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX your welcome Sarah I need tips too😂 all my little tweaks come from the tube anyway mostly 😂 Btw a friend tells me they’re in homebargains for 60p a pack if you need stock😂 take care J
@@J-Walks-007 you absolute diamond! Thank you, I’ll check it out, my favourite shop 😂😂😂 please keep the tips coming, I love to learn, if it wasn’t for the tuuuuube I wouldn’t be here doing this 😂 Sarah
Hi Sarah, thanks for commenting on my post, I thought I'd check out your channel and I have subbed. How have I not come across your channel before! I love the Peak District, mostly day hikes but did do a wild camp on Shining Tor last year, which was good. I look forward to watching more of your adventures.
Hey 👋🏻 ahh thanks for stopping by Rachel, great to see you here and another woman too! Most of my female friends are too scared or don’t fancy it but still love my pictures and vids…I think I’ve been subbed to you a while 😊BW, Sarah
What a lovely night! I fully understand about the "I can talk to anyone but like my own solitude" as I am like that. I used to lecture to physio students, teach First Aid etc but love the solitude of being by myself.
Yes, and thank you for what you do! in my professional life I can’t turn off my teaching head with student midwives to teach on every shift, I do have a continuous narrative to help them learn from what I say and what they see me do having a practical job where you have to be 10 steps ahead if the game. Can be exhausting…solitude is my down time, ATB, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX I retired 10 years ago but still find myself "advising" people re walking stick/crutch lengths, exercises for bad backs etc. Once a health care professional used to teaching, we still do it :) I found students learnt more from watching and being guided to do. Take care :)
Great video , I totally get what you mean about been alone and happy in your own skin. Now I I know I’m not daft thought it was just me lol…. All the best Andrew ⛺️⛺️
It was a barn owl, Sarah. I found the remains there a couple of weeks ago. It was ringed. It was ringed 217 days ago in the Hathersage area. A sad end in a beautiful location.
Oh no! Thank you for this update, poor barn owl 🦉 I did think that the colouring of the feathers was too light for grouse. The circle of life continues. What was lovely about your comment… “sad end in a beautiful location” it sure is and although very sad when life is lost special places exist for a reason… best wishes, Sarah x
Great feedback thank you!🤩 I think I’ll upgrade my recording equipment into the future when funds allow. When you enjoy doing something so much you just want to improve. Storage of my videos is a problem on my phone. Might have to move to my computer. Time lapses of stars I would love to capture. Things can escalate quickly 😂BW, Sarah
Camping in lady Channing plantation years ago. A mouse moseyed right into the palm of my hand. The geese are noisy at night because of predation. That scarf makes you look like seniour clergy. My elder sister felt like you. She got sick of doing for & servicing her ungrateful others. She left it all behind one day, never looked back. Removed herself to a little cottage in the arras end of nowhere over in Norn Erin.
I spoke of John the mouse after watching another UA-cam video from ‘Goodblokeoutdoors) Liam who encountered a mouse up on Snowdon, he was happily munching away on left over Disco crisps in the vestibule of his tent and he warned him. It to go and nibble his Scarpa boots 🥾 before disappearing back to his nest for a night cap 😂 made me laugh, you should take a look at his video. Lady Cannings is very busy but I bet it turns silent by night, cool place to camp, thanks for the information re geese! I’m glad that your sister found happiness leaving service behind ✨BW, Sarah
Another lovely video Sarah. Whilst I really enjoy going out camping with some of the amazing friends I've made on YT, I do absolutely love a solo wild camp. Like you say, it's ultimate freedom and gets you away from the stresses of daily life. You might just see an entry from myself in Pat's Place little book soon. 😉 Look forward to the next one.
I hope to see it in the future! Thank you for tuning in, really enjoyed this one, it felt right chatting about the love of solo camps on that night, I think putting that across to people has been more important in recent weeks as I am often asked if I go alone, am I sacred etc followed by wow I could never do that. To me it is perfect therapy! See ya on the next outing 🤩BW, Sarah
That certainly was peace and solitude wasn’t it and what a super sunrise to wake up to! A very relaxing watch. You looked all well prepared with your down gear! All the best. Gav
Hey Gav👋🏻 thanks for watching, it was the vibe I needed and felt lucky that nature helped me rest that night. I love the sparkles under the frozen skies when I’m warm in the down clothing. It’s quite addictive! Getting the itch to be bk out there again for sure especially with all this snow fall today 😍
Thank you for this. Your chilled vibe was just what I needed. I'm suffering from cabin fever as I've not been in my tent for a bit so am living vicariously through your trip. Cracking place. Great tent. New subscriber. Top accent BTW. 😉 🏴
Hey Jack thanks for that awesome feedback and sub too. I have a good few subscribers that done wild camp but still watch because they fancy listening to a Sheffield lass chat away about some honest feelings freezing, cooking and looking at stars ha ha…glad you could join me and I hope you are able to enjoy some outdoor time soon. See you on the next camp ⛺️ BW, Sarah
Hey up Sarah, another very entertaining and thought provoking video. Love your style of presentation,relaxing,honest and humourous in equal proportion. You're fast moving up the league of my favourite wildcampers. Must be a feather in your cap getting comments from Andy and Pat. Look forward to your next adventure.Keep up the good work. Michael.😊👍🏕💚
Ey up Micheal…it’s comments like yours that lift up my tired spirits after a couple of hard days graft, THANKYOU! Pat and Andy have been huge inspirations for me as I gingerly dipped my toe into the wild camping world. It’s lovely to hear from them. A real highlight was meeting Andy for a great hike around Kinder last year with Sarah Lister. Like minded, grounded folk who love the Peaks as much as myself 😊 I’m already looking forward to being out in my tent again soon! BW, Sarah
Thanks 🙏🏻 I need a better pan set up to cook more efficiently, currently my speedster stove isn’t ideal for much more than boiling water and heating up the stew. Not much cooking on my incoming video…a pitiful cuppa soup and some bread and snack, this lamb and veg stew was a real winner though. I look forward to bringing going more outside cooking to my videos when I have the right kit 😊
Hi Sarah... Always hard to know where to start commenting. You get through so much in your videos. On one level, there's the beauty of the places you walk and camp in. On another, there's " Sarah's chats". The more of your content I watch, and listen to, the more I realise what all us solo wild campers have in common. Many of us get out to recharge, to fight the demons in our heads, the stress of life's worries, to be alone and let our tightly wound springs unwind and release. I had a beautiful camp Saturday night gone, and boy does it give the soul vitality again. Anyway enough of the jibber jabber from me. Thanks again so much Sarah for sharing, and I'm so glad to have found this channel. Stay safe, and enjoy yourself G ATB George
Hiya George ☺️ thanks for watching. Do ya know what, I sometimes wonder if I should upload vids of this length but when I proof watch it before publishing it to UA-cam the time soon passes! Feels like it’s a 20 min video ha ha! Thanks for picking up on all the perfect elements of this camp. I’m glad that you got out too, I hope that you are still reliving some of your favourite moments as I do when I watch my videos back. ATB, Sarah
Hi Sarah, A funny thing to start with but thanks for mentioning the date, I often wonder when you have been filming 🎥. Getting your own back on Patrick, I hear. Wonder if this could turn into video ping-pong, I'll be watching his next trip to see what he says about you. What was that you had your stove on? I notice various people using different things to stop heat drain and grass scorching. Interesting that more and more people are adding to the comments book, guess there have been enough clues for people to work out where it is. Dinner looked Interesting, keep meaning to write an article about thermos cooking, food that cooks itself as you walk 🚶♀️. Aren't satcoms brilliant, the ability just to ping a word or two to hubby, that extra peace of mind. If you yawn any wider we'll be able to see the little light at the back ✨️ 🙂. First camp I did with my wife I remember looking around the tent and thinking we own all of this, we have all we need here ❤️ to survive. You mentioned meeting the lass who is writing the book, and you said what came across as the word Sarahndipity, if ever you want to launch a new channel, there you go. Cheers Graham
Hey Graham 👋🏻 ha ha I’m sure Pat will be far too busy with his car camper conversion to play ping pong either me 😂 I bought a set of thin plastic chopping boards from Aldi, great addition to my kit. There must be 15 + logs in the book which was lovely to read, I think about 4 are from myself ha ha! Sarahndipity now that’s just wonderful! ✨😍✨
Wonderful camping, your time with nature is always relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for bringing us along to enjoy these moments with you 🤠🌲🍃
Hi 👋🏻 thank you for watching. Really enjoyed the challenges of this camp in the cold. The evening was full of beauty and the camp itself very relaxing. Just the ticket for my overworked self that day ☺️BW, Sarah
Hey, great vid Sarah as always. Very calming, I've been saving this for my day off. You're chatting is very inspiring, I'm not surprised you're doing so well on UA-cam. Back at Pats place again... Its addictive isn't it? I'm off out tomorrow.. Weather going to be pants. It's all fun though... Have a great weekend 🏕️🙂👍
Hi Mick ☺️ thanks for watching. I’ve watched your last video twice. Just love the filming. What camera are you using? It’s epic, great shots and depth of field, especially with your gas light, tent and Sheffield in the back ground. And let me just point out your gorgeous puppy too! Would like to know what editing software you use too? Thanks! As I enjoy recording my camps I’m starting to think about their quality to help feed my creative side. 👍🏻 I hope you have a nice trip out, I am nit so lucky, been a busy working weekend so far and on night shift tomorrow. Take care and enjoy it ⛺️✨👑
@@SoloSarahBX Hope work goes well Sarah, I'll be back at work Monday. I haven't used my dslr a lot I've shot mainly on my gopro, but my last vid I used it much more it's a canon r6 and I used a 50mm 1.8 problems with it are bulk but with the 50mm it's not too bad. It's tricky filming especially in the dark I now just use manual focus so the lens isn't always searching I have to cover it in rain. Also manual exposure and iso. I use powerdirector much easier than Adobe premier. Need a static tripod too... Hope that helps in some way. Take care 🏕️🙂
As always absolutely brilliant Sarah, though I was shouting you've knocked the mic off your jacket, when you was laid on your big Agnes lol, I do love a good time lapse too 👌👌👍
Ey up Mick 🙏🏻 I didn’t realise until some time later but tried to rectify this in my editing app and turned the volume up a bit ☺️ those little things always causing havoc on the camps, either I forget to put plot on, my muffler goes walkies or it’s broken 😂 Agnes is a very comfortable addition to the family ⛺️✨⛺️BW, Sarah
@SoloSarahBX my mic and reciever went in the washing machine on a 60 wash other week then into the dryer for a hour after that, I'd forgot they were in me trouser pocket, amazingly still worked !!! I'll be checking all my pockets in future 🤣🤣
@@Mickoutdoors 😂😂😂😂 that’s really good to know for when my hubby washes my stuff without checking pockets, it’s usually biro all over my work uniform 🤭 he’s a good’un ha ha! Keeper!
Hey thanks for watching! It’s a lovely spot, had many great times there to date and hike for many more. Quite a simple baron location but has a special feeling to it like a few other places that I find myself drawn to. BW, Sarah
Nice and well done. I do the same with my pole. I put the red tab first. I found the top hat sits better this way. I believe for the newer black label soulo, Hilleberg have said to put the red tab pole on last.
Interesting. I remember when I got the tent I wanted to erect it correctly as not to put strain on the material or poles but I couldn’t find a definitive answer. It seemed easier with long poles first and red last. Sturdier with red first though? I suppose if poles are thicker the the red pole last would take more strain? Thanks for the feedback on what you do…BW, Sarah
@SoloSarahBX Hi. From what i gather it was red tab pole first until the black label Soulo came out.. Hilleberg then said to put the red tab pole on last. Must me because of the strain on the material on the black label Soulo like you mentioned. I have the red label Soulo and i am going to continue to put the red tab pole in first. I find the top hat sits down nicer when there is no cross pole pushing up on the Sewed seam of the top hat.. the pole keeps pushing the seam to one side and it always looks a bit off... Then again i am a perfectionist.... Or perhaps it was optional. Pole set up was optional until the black label Soulo came out
I remember watching this too, then the instructions tell us to do it differently leaving me feeling confused! Tried them both, seems better with Red first?
Hi Sarah,I'm halfway through yer vlog an im thinkin wouldn't it be cool if yer bumped into patrick up there! Now that would make a fantastic vlog! Anyway its 4-30 Friday mornin an im watching you before I go to work,what could be better? Keep goin lass ❤.
I was up 1 hr later for work myself, don’t get home risk 20:30. Absolutely shattered, glad you watched! It would be great to say hi to Pat one day on my travels, I think him and I enjoy our solitude far too much for any joint venture , anyway he’s far to famous 🤩👌🏻BW, Sarah
Thank you for your advice 😊 I have a little list of things that people mention and although I have gloves and mittens they can be quite debilitating when needing hands for small tasks when out in the cold. Nothing beats bare hands over the flame of my safe small alcohol stove though. The disposable hand warmers are fantastic too, although I don’t like throwing things away! BW, Sarah
I love your videos - make me quite homesick for the biggest village in the world, its surroundings, people and the Sheffield accent. Please keep posting - it takes me back to my childhood 50+ years ago. You're dead right to enjoy it while you can. Siddee ar kid.
Ey up 👋🏻 I’m glad that my videos are familiar to you and remind you of home. Sheffield Is special as is the Peak District. I’ll continue to roam my little kingdom of peat and heather to share with others to enjoy. When I love it so much, sharing it with others who do brings me a great deal of joy. BW, Sarah
Hi Sarah just 8min in but i remember back in the day some debate around which pole first on the soulo when they first came out. My experience with them over the last 10+ years is that for rigidity i always put the pole from the door frame to the centre first, like you did, i feel this holds up the tent better, esp if you ever start using 10mm poles. Is it just me, or is the video resolution alot lower than last time? Glad you've got back out, certainly some loverly crisp nights out at the moment, and some howlers too! Edit - Apologies if you already know this - one for the future if you ever find yourself getting cold, as in struggling to maintain core temp and getting bad or really really uncomfortable you can always if you have the decent heavy duty proper nalgene bottles can always boil the water, let it go just off the boil and carefully pour it back into the nalgene bottle and tighten lid firmly, wrap a base layer around it, and hey presto hot water bottle, then in the morning just reboil to make your monring brew! Glad you slept well, i always think the key to that is fueling your body properly pref slow release carbs before that to sustain through the night. A flapjack and hot chocolate works wonders, for the body and mind lol ! As for Patrick, he make's me laugh with his "shed" but some of the meal's he make's when camping, once remember him lugging a pizza oven, legend 🤣
It goes up to HD after a couple of hours Dave, I dont know why her vids take so long to upgrade, mine do it in sixty minutes or so. I watch a bit at the lower res, then the rest in the morning when its upgraded. She makes cracking vids!
I'm sure ya hubby is really dreading the thought of you and your hairy chest. 😂 Too much soup might not be good for ya in the long term 😁😀. Just a thought. 😎. I can relate to you about being anti social. I go kayak fishing and when I'm setting up every bloke on the beach wants to talk about it. So what I do to deter them is I put a put some ear phones in my ears and shove the lead down my top and it's amazing how many people will see the lead and just walk on by.. Another thing is really dark sunglasses because if they can't see your eyes to make eye contact they just walk on by.😎😂😂. Get some gloves on ya pandys and keep em warm or you will get chillblains . Take care. Charlie X Ps.... great video.....again.
Hiya Charlie 😂 that’s cracked me up ha ha! Thank you for your tips. I can’t get away with that at work though, I have to talk to people but I do love that I can escape the busy and find peace in the Countryside. I might get some shades though, I never protect my eyes from the sun and I really should! Regarding hairs on my chest, he’s a good man, he would take me anyway I choose to be 😊 thanks for watching, BW, Sarah
Hey 👋🏻 yes, comfort and weight ratio is a tough one to get right. I’m getting there. I use a 50 lite rucksack. Seems perfect for the kit I choose to take for winter ❤️
Thanks for sharing Sarah. Quick question,how do you find carrying a heavy rucksack on top of your down jacket,is it wearing the material away from the straps? I've noticed mine from a few trips,really wearing the material down. Any ideas how to stop it? 😊 Bri...
Hi Brian, when I’m hiking far I wear my waterproof jacket and not the down one as I’d get too hot and sweaty. I’ve noticed no wear on this purple down coat if mine however the waterproof is bobbling on the hips where there’s been movement mostly with my day rucksack. The Osprey backpack that I use for wild canoe has a handy silicone coating on the lumbar part of the waist strap and this stops it from moving about. One of many simple features of this backpack to aid comfort and compatibility with clothing I wear 👌🏻BW, Sarah
Hi Neil, Sarah is sorting out a discount code from The publisher if you’d like to hang on buying it? I’ll share it as soon as I get it… if not and you want it, it’s Kinder Scout, Mountain Walks by Sarah Lister 👌🏻 heyyyyy 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻✨✨✨✨
Lovely spot that Sarah at ‘Pat’s place’ eh Pat? 😊 What is it with you lot; Andy Beavers & Dave (solo summiteer) getting all mushy too 😢 in the latest videos 😂😂😂 Just kidding, keep em coming Sarah ATB & stay safe Dave (dicky bird outdoors)
All at it wernt we? Lol 2024 brings out the sentimental campers 😂 and non of us really knew it until all the vids uploaded into the ether! Great to see what make ms a camper tick. Talking is my favourite ha ha. Tek care, Sarah
I can't believe you and Paul Messner camped in the same spot and both posted a video within hours of each other! Great video again, my first RED Feb run tomorrow, can't wait!
I watched Paul’s video last night after uploading mine and I can’t believe how similar the content was 😂 we even have the same sayings…it’s a Sheffield thing for sure 👌🏻 😂 I knew you would come back and watch my video the day after Phil, it seems to take UA-cam ages to clean it up. Maybe something to do with the fact I’m using my iPhone and CapCut? I’m feeling the urge to up my game with filming because I enjoy it so much. I’d love a go pro and a drone. Might have to get a few extra shifts in for that 😂🤑 so expensive but spend cash on stuff you love doing and feels like a reward! My videos would take a bit longer to make as I’d need to upload to my MacBook 💻 so I’ll have a look into this. I love that I can have. After days off from work, enjoy a camp and make the vid in a few hours the day after. I’m finding that my vids are quite long at then moment (probs cos I like to include me chatting away in the dark lol) so phone storage can’t take it and I’m having to delete stuff before I export it all to UA-cam….some technical challenges to overcome here, as always BW, Sarah
After much deliberation…I’m Going back to red pole last 😂 I noticed it was a tight clip too and down want extra strain on the connecting parts of the fly sheet. Thanks! 🙏🏻
Hi Edward, please no fires on moorland. Definitely forbidden. Definitely keep that for woodlands with your own wood or dead wood that has fallen and dried. Having said no fires I always use my alcohol stove with extreme caution. The things I do to minimise the risks of fire up there are to use a non-spill spirit burner with a thin chopping bored and heat mat protector on the ground. I pour my alcohol into the burner very carefully with a small spouted bottle for a precise aim. The speedster stove kit I use is very compact and efficient and even feels safe to use in the tent. I always make sure the tent is well ventilated when I’m using it in there due to fumes/carbon monoxide. I keep warm by wearing layers and down clothing, drinking and eating hot food and the heat from water bottles and hand warmers, gloves and mittens 😊 Leave no trace, always, ATB, Sarah
I see :) I live in Norway and most places I go for camping I can make a campfire apart from the fire prohibition periods. Sometimes I go out just because I want to make a campfire 😃 Wintertime it’s a must 🥶
I guess I’ve read a bit about the load on the body and what’s good and bad for me in terms of weight carrying but I bet for the amount of time I’m actually carrying it and how frequent I camp it’s no biggy. I will however try to get the kit weight down for summer camps…watch this space! I’ll be excited to share my new kit as I settle into my wild camping journey here…BW, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX I just watched the film Everest, again. I know I told you earlier that you could do it but, even the most experienced high altitude climbers die up there so, stick to your Everest base camp idea and make a fantastic video about that. Cheers, Stan.
@@stanbewick2685 yes, unfortunately it’s a frozen grave yard of very brave adventurers. That film always fills me with trepidation and sadness for all that have succombed to that mountain 🏔️respect to them all! ❤️
Hello to all of my loyal subscribers, new ones and passers by to this video ❤I love reading your comments and responding…I will dip in and out throughout the day to read them it’s always exciting when I see another one pop up in my notifications 🔔 thank you! Thank you for your gifts 🎁 of appreciation how wonderful! I’m off out for coffee with a friend…warmest wishes to you all on this dull day in Sheffield ✨ Sarah
It were a good night that one Sarah though bitterly cold in the morning in that wind but what a sunrise eh..grand belt of venus you had there i really like to see those sky's I'll let you in on how that blue & pink light is formed some time..
Seems we were both feeling all sentimental I ended up going into how I first went up kinder in my school days & how I ended up feeling like I'm returning home when I've not camped up there for a while..
That day with Sarah we had up kinder was a great day wasn't it how we just extended the walk off the cuff & headed down in the dark..all in good fun eh 😆
tfs & take care..Andy.
Hey Andy, I may have mentioned you a few times in my videos along with Paul and Patrick! 😊 you certainly helped me get ready for my first escape to the peat and heather landscapes of the Peaks in my tent. Meeting you (and Sarah) was the cherry on top. 🙏🏻 a good all round genuine family man! I think it’s become really important as I’ve delved into the UA-cam abyss to understand that there are real humans behind the videos that we make. I think we share the same passions. For our homes, family and that of the peaks. Feels like home, as glorious as the Lakes and Scotland are there’s a vibe about the peaks that is potent beyond my human understanding. I’ll look forward to your musings about this sentiment in your video (if you filmed it) thanks for sharing that and I’ll see ya on the next one wether that be in person or int’ tube! Need to reschedule a Sarah Walk and my quest for Aztec rock 😉ATB, Sarah
Love watching your video's, your open and honest chat is almost therapeutic. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for teaching and listening to my musings, it was so silent there I felt like whispering ☺️ by 2am it was far from it and I was soon reminded that I was in the direct path of the gusting ice wind that was knocking the tent about to lull me back to sleep! Ha ha! ATB, Sarah
A lovely relaxing camp Sarah, and yes it is your time out there, and so its your time to talk as much as you like, and keep us entertained. Its looking like people will be queing up to camp at Pat's place, don't know what i would do if I planned a camp up there and found someone already there ! Anyway until the next one, we may see you back on kinder......thanks Pat
Hi Pat, thanks for stopping by 😊I have since found some more suitable spots close by but believe if you wish…that spot calls me in at the right time when there’s nobody there, I just get a feeling on the day with where to go unless it is up on Kinder, which does require a little more travel and planning on my part. Not to mention a more strenuous hike up there with my home on my back. If you are anything like me you’ll quietly scarper and seek out another spot with similar views (I don’t think it’s likely that it will get too busy, many folk just passing through with a flask and biscuit maybe, nice rest point for a walk around the area) hope you are well Pat, enjoying your life to the full as always, recently been watching the tree camps you did, don’t worry though, I don’t think I’m quite ready for that carry on just yet he he 😅
ATB, Sarah ✨ 👑
Great video again lass. I hear them 12 hr unpaid shifts are brutal. My sister in law sita just qualified 2yr ago she said they should at least pay half the nurse rate. She had to take care worker shifts etc and study it was brutal for her as well with my nephews. Thank god the nhs has dedicated people like you and my sister in law working for them take care pal 🖐🏴
Hey 👋🏻 yes I too worked support worker shifts as had to bring in some income on top of the very small bursary all the while getting g deeper into debt for a career I knew would never pay me enough to pay off the student debt before retirement. Crazy system we have her in England. It’s certainly a vocation. I have thoughts to leave the NHS and work for agency. I will have more flexibility with my life and more money in the bank whilst working to care for people using the NHS! Wages are so poor for the responsibilities I have as a senior midwife 👎🏻 I camp to soften the blow 😂
@@SoloSarahBX hopefully you'll have loads more great camping adventures with Sarah's lister book 👍
@@jnicklin she’s a legend…I sure will! I’ll be gladly sharing them with you and your Mrs ❤️
Thanks
Thank you so much for your kind gift 🎁 👑
Awsome, and peaceful. I love camping.
It was a great night this one 😊
I love watching your videos, your so genuine, and courageous, keep the videos coming we all need the outlet in life that break and therapy in camping 😊
Absolutely will…really looking forward to my next camp out…there’s snow on the way but so are 3 12 hr shifts ☺️BW, thanks fi watching, Sarah
Lovely video and chat,really enjoying your channel.started camping at 64,now 67.yourself and other you tubers always help me to take the next step on my own adventure.i go solo as my mates are not playing unless it's hotels😅.I tend to base camp and when I get back from a days hike my tent to me is my own little savoy,love it.cheers for your hard work.
You are very much the same as me then! As my fitness is building and I am getting into good shape I do wish to hike further for camps and set up after achieving a good hike. I will also be after a lighter shelter too! In the spring and summer. I do class my tent as a 5 star hotel as it protects me against the tough elements and without it I’d sure perish. Simple food always tastes like eating in a fine dining restaurant as it’s usually very well deserved too 😊ATB, happy camps to you, Sarah
Join the club.😊
Priceless, as always. Not flash,not slick, just sharing good honest feelings,keeping it real. Big thank you.
Thank you 🤩 I am inspired by the experts but I have found my niche and it seems simplicity and honesty wins for me. Thank you for always watching, ATB, Sarah
Just for the record,I'm not always watching. That would be weird.
@@stevesmith3216 😂😂😂😂
You are so peaceful to watch. Thank you x
Hey Sue! I feel so peaceful…I’m yet to camp in some less than forgiving weather, I wonder if my video will have that same peaceful element? Ha ha! Looking forward to the next camp, work is calling though ☺️BW, Sarah
That's a gradely place you have there Sarah. The kind of place a person could rock up, build a cabin and just eat peat and heather for the rest of their days.
The cumulative effect of your camps is evident in this one, you're so relaxed. I reckon a couple more and you'll be so relaxed your family will be carrying you around in a bucket.
A large part of your YT success is undoubtedly due to your personal charm. Another contributing factor is your evident pleasure in replying to comments.No mere red heart or a cursory 'Cheers!' from you but a heartfelt and tailored response. When we buy into the SSB experience we get the full works.No half measures.
Leonard Cohen sang, ' . . . getting lost in that hopeless little screen.' Well,that's me. Lost in this hopeless little screen. I am lost. So I'm ducking out of YT for a while.But I do so in the knowledge that there will be a whole load of SarahB films for me to binge watch in a few months time.
Keep your head down in the grouse shooting season Sarah,we don't want to lose you.
TTFN,Mike. Not that I'm saying you look like a grouse.
Hi Mike, in that case I shall respond to you first foremost ✨ thank you! You have picked out all of the main reasons that I love the combo of wild camping and UA-cam. Relaxation, connection and individuality. I feel utterly relaxed in this hobbie and when I upload a video I really do appreciate the feedback from ‘friends’ I enjoy responding and ensuring that the people who watch me understand that there’s a real female human being at the other end of their phone, keyboard. I have actually got more out of this than I’d imagined but like yourself I’m sure I will
Enjoy a break from the little
Screen in time. It is very time consuming to make vids and respond individually but into my more mature years I have become
Expert in fitting a lot in to 24 hrs and understanding when rest is needed in a physical and mental sense. I hope that you enjoy your break and I have always appreciated your heartfelt notes, they have lifted me up when I have read negativity or have felt discomfort aimed in my direction from strangers that aim to bring me down, want to change me or want to give me advice that I don’t need 😂 yep plenty of that kind around, thank you and best wishes Mike, take Taa-raaa for now, Sarah
One of the things I loved most about sleeping wild on Chasewater was the all night sound of the ducks, gulls and swans… they seemed to get quieter just before dawn
I enjoyed hearing them, it was very unusual especially as it was so quiet up there that night 😊
Sister Sarah Great video once again catch ya out there stay safe 👍👍
Hey Gareth 👋🏻 thanks for that, glad you enjoyed it. Least you know the surrounding and understand why I love it so much. BW, Sarah
Great to see you back up there 'Rattlecan' - there's a name that's stuck LOL. I'd better not ever let you n Jackie meet as the pair of you would never stop blathering on. Life's been getting in the way of me getting out on a camp lately. If I haven't been ill Jackie has been, and what with my band commitments, the best I have managed was a run up Kinder last weekend. At least the weather was good if a little bracing, and I got to see a part of the old girl that I hadn't seen before. I even found someone's pitch up at Seal Stones. Luckily I managed to get rid of the nasal clag that been plaguing me since Christmas so all is good. Got some footage to go through If I get chance this weekend. Shed roof repairs tomorrow, what a treat, NOT. Well done on the 30 days running, keep it up !!
Hey Andy! Thanks for taking the time to write and listening your outings. Sorry you e been unwell. Is women can talk eh? That’s why ya love us 😂I am quiet a lot of the time but I’ll take my new name, I quite like it, proud! I’m itching to get up on Kinder, nothing quite like it, great you had that trip up. The running has certainly given me. A kick up the backside and I’m looking forward to a happier fitter 2024…ATB, look forward to your blatherings 😂Sarah
Have a lovely coffee
Ohhhh thank you so much you beautiful human! I had such a lovely coffee date with a great friend who I haven’t seen since September. I will receive my first pay check from UA-cam this month therefore receive your Super Thanks in that…I may consider setting up a buy me a coffee ☕️ I have seen other UA-cam channels do this probably because UA-cam take 45% from your donation xxxxx❤️
I always watch your full video on the morning after you post as the quality has gone through the unfathomable youtube algorithm. This is a beautiful video, your editing skills are brill and the things you talk about make so much sense. The world should all just stop and listen to your wisdom! (but they will need to go and camp anywhere OTHER than the peak District 🙂). Thank you!
I am so glad that I have connected with you Phil, both through my content here and on Instagram. I speak what I feel and if that resonates with you then I feel my job is done, connection with like minded people is what the human spirit is all about and that helps me feel alive. I hope your first run brings a smile to your face , take it steady and share your enthusiasm widely… you never know who’s watching 😉ATB, Sarah
Saved this for tonight's camp . Outnbout near Perth tonight... Cold and very windy... Anyhoo... Another lovely meander through your thoughts, honest and delightfully presented as always... I think Pat's place is on my bucket list.. hopefully one day... Thank you 😊
Sounds great! Have a lovely camp and I hope that you visit here one day ✨⛺️✨
Another lovely outing with you last night, or the night before!!. My husband is a massive excitable hand rubber, so we had a little chuckle at that and John the mouse!!, he was a right little cutie! Although I wouldn't want him eating my boots, or tent!! 😂.
lol 😂 I knew I wasn’t the only excitable hand runner in town 😂 I think when it all comes together and I’m having the best time I can’t thank Mother Nature enough! Capturing my emotions and silly things I do on camera adds a human touch…did you see Liam up Snowdon with his John mouse I take it? Ha ha! ATB, Sarah
When you manage a good night , that is a good one.
Then the challenge gets bigger .
I’ve certainly struggled out there with the cold but the challenge drives me to achieve more. I am glad that I practiced in the summer with all aspects of wild camping before camping into the winter months. Had a great time out with the stars and frost, ATB, Sarah
Thanks so much for this! Ex Sheffield but living on the east coast, it’s lovely to hear the accent! More Hull around here. Keep up the good
Work! Lots of love!
Glad you enjoyed it! That connection to Sheffield is special ain’t it? Thank you for tuning in, see ya next time! BW, Sarah
Looked a great really peaceful camp Sarah 👌🏻 just the tonic.
Cold hands tip if you want it…Hot Hands handwarmers 🔥 gamechangers…used to get them from Halfords but I think they stopped selling them so I just Amazon them now, beware inferior brands, only hot hands bring the heat properly 😂 they last hours too but great in the foot box of your sleeping bag in the night👍🏻
Thanks for taking us along, stay safe
It was truly peaceful this one. Pleasant thoughts as well as calm weather. I use the hot hands, check out my 2nd to last camp in the snow, I spoke about them on that one, they get so hot! I put them in my Rab mittens. Toasty. This camp I took a Yaxtrax instant hand warmer and it was rubbish, didn’t generate much heat at all so I’ll not be getting them again! Thank you for sharing how to stay warm, it’s much appreciated ☺️BW, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX your welcome Sarah I need tips too😂 all my little tweaks come from the tube anyway mostly 😂

Hi Sarah, thanks for commenting on my post, I thought I'd check out your channel and I have subbed. How have I not come across your channel before! I love the Peak District, mostly day hikes but did do a wild camp on Shining Tor last year, which was good. I look forward to watching more of your adventures.
Hey 👋🏻 ahh thanks for stopping by Rachel, great to see you here and another woman too! Most of my female friends are too scared or don’t fancy it but still love my pictures and vids…I think I’ve been subbed to you a while 😊BW, Sarah
What a lovely night! I fully understand about the "I can talk to anyone but like my own solitude" as I am like that. I used to lecture to physio students, teach First Aid etc but love the solitude of being by myself.
Yes, and thank you for what you do! in my professional life I can’t turn off my teaching head with student midwives to teach on every shift, I do have a continuous narrative to help them learn from what I say and what they see me do having a practical job where you have to be 10 steps ahead if the game. Can be exhausting…solitude is my down time, ATB, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX I retired 10 years ago but still find myself "advising" people re walking stick/crutch lengths, exercises for bad backs etc. Once a health care professional used to teaching, we still do it :) I found students learnt more from watching and being guided to do. Take care :)
@@angelaknisely-marpole7679 wisdom and experience are priceless, please always keep teaching! 😍

All the best Andrew ⛺️⛺️
I love this comment! You are not alone Andrew 👌🏻⛺️👌🏻kinda magic ✨ BW, Sarah
It was a barn owl, Sarah. I found the remains there a couple of weeks ago. It was ringed. It was ringed 217 days ago in the Hathersage area. A sad end in a beautiful location.
Oh no! Thank you for this update, poor barn owl 🦉 I did think that the colouring of the feathers was too light for grouse. The circle of life continues. What was lovely about your comment… “sad end in a beautiful location” it sure is and although very sad when life is lost special places exist for a reason… best wishes, Sarah x
Yet another heart felt vid. Love it, also time lapse are always welcome. I feel the same where I could watch for ages. No one gets bored of those.
Great feedback thank you!🤩 I think I’ll upgrade my recording equipment into the future when funds allow. When you enjoy doing something so much you just want to improve. Storage of my videos is a problem on my phone. Might have to move to my computer. Time lapses of stars I would love to capture. Things can escalate quickly 😂BW, Sarah
Camping in lady Channing plantation years ago. A mouse moseyed right into the palm of my hand. The geese are noisy at night because of predation. That scarf makes you look like seniour clergy. My elder sister felt like you. She got sick of doing for & servicing her ungrateful others. She left it all behind one day, never looked back. Removed herself to a little cottage in the arras end of nowhere over in Norn Erin.
I spoke of John the mouse after watching another UA-cam video from ‘Goodblokeoutdoors) Liam who encountered a mouse up on Snowdon, he was happily munching away on left over Disco crisps in the vestibule of his tent and he warned him. It to go and nibble his Scarpa boots 🥾 before disappearing back to his nest for a night cap 😂 made me laugh, you should take a look at his video. Lady Cannings is very busy but I bet it turns silent by night, cool place to camp, thanks for the information re geese! I’m glad that your sister found happiness leaving service behind ✨BW, Sarah
Another lovely video Sarah. Whilst I really enjoy going out camping with some of the amazing friends I've made on YT, I do absolutely love a solo wild camp. Like you say, it's ultimate freedom and gets you away from the stresses of daily life.
You might just see an entry from myself in Pat's Place little book soon. 😉
Look forward to the next one.
I hope to see it in the future! Thank you for tuning in, really enjoyed this one, it felt right chatting about the love of solo camps on that night, I think putting that across to people has been more important in recent weeks as I am often asked if I go alone, am I sacred etc followed by wow I could never do that. To me it is perfect therapy! See ya on the next outing 🤩BW, Sarah
Beautiful camp again.
Extra camp light...the pisser! Laughed so much! You are funny! Might have to get one of those! Lol
I couldn’t think of a better word for it 😂😂😂 we all do it and I do it in my pisser. Glow in the dark, childhood excitement! BW, Sarah
That certainly was peace and solitude wasn’t it and what a super sunrise to wake up to! A very relaxing watch. You looked all well prepared with your down gear! All the best. Gav
Hey Gav👋🏻 thanks for watching, it was the vibe I needed and felt lucky that nature helped me rest that night. I love the sparkles under the frozen skies when I’m warm in the down clothing. It’s quite addictive! Getting the itch to be bk out there again for sure especially with all this snow fall today 😍
Just found your channel and I find it offers peace in scenery and your energy...
That’s really beautiful, thank you Renee ⛺️✨⛺️
Thank you for this. Your chilled vibe was just what I needed. I'm suffering from cabin fever as I've not been in my tent for a bit so am living vicariously through your trip. Cracking place. Great tent. New subscriber. Top accent BTW. 😉 🏴
Hey Jack thanks for that awesome feedback and sub too. I have a good few subscribers that done wild camp but still watch because they fancy listening to a Sheffield lass chat away about some honest feelings freezing, cooking and looking at stars ha ha…glad you could join me and I hope you are able to enjoy some outdoor time soon. See you on the next camp ⛺️ BW, Sarah
Hey up Sarah, another very entertaining and thought provoking video.
Love your style of presentation,relaxing,honest and humourous in equal proportion.
You're fast moving up the league of my favourite wildcampers.
Must be a feather in your cap getting comments from Andy and Pat.
Look forward to your next adventure.Keep up the good work.
Michael.😊👍🏕💚
Ey up Micheal…it’s comments like yours that lift up my tired spirits after a couple of hard days graft, THANKYOU! Pat and Andy have been huge inspirations for me as I gingerly dipped my toe into the wild camping world. It’s lovely to hear from them. A real highlight was meeting Andy for a great hike around Kinder last year with Sarah Lister. Like minded, grounded folk who love the Peaks as much as myself 😊 I’m already looking forward to being out in my tent again soon! BW, Sarah
The cooking parts I my favourite,try to do more😊
Thanks 🙏🏻 I need a better pan set up to cook more efficiently, currently my speedster stove isn’t ideal for much more than boiling water and heating up the stew. Not much cooking on my incoming video…a pitiful cuppa soup and some bread and snack, this lamb and veg stew was a real winner though. I look forward to bringing going more outside cooking to my videos when I have the right kit 😊
Thanks Sarah cracking😊
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻✨
Hi Sarah... Always hard to know where to start commenting. You get through so much in your videos. On one level, there's the beauty of the places you walk and camp in. On another, there's " Sarah's chats". The more of your content I watch, and listen to, the more I realise what all us solo wild campers have in common. Many of us get out to recharge, to fight the demons in our heads, the stress of life's worries, to be alone and let our tightly wound springs unwind and release.
I had a beautiful camp Saturday night gone, and boy does it give the soul vitality again.
Anyway enough of the jibber jabber from me.
Thanks again so much Sarah for sharing, and I'm so glad to have found this channel.
Stay safe, and enjoy yourself

ATB George
Hiya George ☺️ thanks for watching. Do ya know what, I sometimes wonder if I should upload vids of this length but when I proof watch it before publishing it to UA-cam the time soon passes! Feels like it’s a 20 min video ha ha! Thanks for picking up on all the perfect elements of this camp. I’m glad that you got out too, I hope that you are still reliving some of your favourite moments as I do when I watch my videos back. ATB, Sarah
Thank you for your videos Sarah, really enjoyed watching them, always cheer me up !!
It’s my pleasure and I am so pleased to hear that they cheer you up…my job is done 😍BW, Sarah
Hi Sarah,
A funny thing to start with but thanks for mentioning the date, I often wonder when you have been filming 🎥. Getting your own back on Patrick, I hear. Wonder if this could turn into video ping-pong, I'll be watching his next trip to see what he says about you. What was that you had your stove on? I notice various people using different things to stop heat drain and grass scorching. Interesting that more and more people are adding to the comments book, guess there have been enough clues for people to work out where it is. Dinner looked Interesting, keep meaning to write an article about thermos cooking, food that cooks itself as you walk 🚶♀️. Aren't satcoms brilliant, the ability just to ping a word or two to hubby, that extra peace of mind. If you yawn any wider we'll be able to see the little light at the back ✨️ 🙂. First camp I did with my wife I remember looking around the tent and thinking we own all of this, we have all we need here ❤️ to survive. You mentioned meeting the lass who is writing the book, and you said what came across as the word Sarahndipity, if ever you want to launch a new channel, there you go.
Cheers
Graham
Hey Graham 👋🏻 ha ha I’m sure Pat will be far too busy with his car camper conversion to play ping pong either me 😂 I bought a set of thin plastic chopping boards from Aldi, great addition to my kit. There must be 15 + logs in the book which was lovely to read, I think about 4 are from myself ha ha! Sarahndipity now that’s just wonderful! ✨😍✨
Great video Sarah👍
Thank you!! 😁
Wonderful camping, your time with nature is always relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for bringing us along to enjoy these moments with you 🤠🌲🍃
Hi 👋🏻 thank you for watching. Really enjoyed the challenges of this camp in the cold. The evening was full of beauty and the camp itself very relaxing. Just the ticket for my overworked self that day ☺️BW, Sarah
love your wild camps
Glad to hear it! As you can see I really do too 😊✨⛺️✨
Another great video. 😊thanks
Thank you Mark ✨☺️⛺️
Hey, great vid Sarah as always. Very calming, I've been saving this for my day off. You're chatting is very inspiring, I'm not surprised you're doing so well on UA-cam.
Back at Pats place again... Its addictive isn't it?
I'm off out tomorrow.. Weather going to be pants. It's all fun though... Have a great weekend 🏕️🙂👍
Hi Mick ☺️ thanks for watching. I’ve watched your last video twice. Just love the filming. What camera are you using? It’s epic, great shots and depth of field, especially with your gas light, tent and Sheffield in the back ground. And let me just point out your gorgeous puppy too! Would like to know what editing software you use too? Thanks! As I enjoy recording my camps I’m starting to think about their quality to help feed my creative side. 👍🏻 I hope you have a nice trip out, I am nit so lucky, been a busy working weekend so far and on night shift tomorrow. Take care and enjoy it ⛺️✨👑
@@SoloSarahBX Hope work goes well Sarah, I'll be back at work Monday.
I haven't used my dslr a lot I've shot mainly on my gopro, but my last vid I used it much more it's a canon r6 and I used a 50mm 1.8 problems with it are bulk but with the 50mm it's not too bad.
It's tricky filming especially in the dark I now just use manual focus so the lens isn't always searching I have to cover it in rain. Also manual exposure and iso.
I use powerdirector much easier than Adobe premier.
Need a static tripod too... Hope that helps in some way. Take care 🏕️🙂
@@twiggyescapesthank you, I may have to experiment 😊
As always absolutely brilliant Sarah, though I was shouting you've knocked the mic off your jacket, when you was laid on your big Agnes lol, I do love a good time lapse too 👌👌👍
Ey up Mick 🙏🏻 I didn’t realise until some time later but tried to rectify this in my editing app and turned the volume up a bit ☺️ those little things always causing havoc on the camps, either I forget to put plot on, my muffler goes walkies or it’s broken 😂 Agnes is a very comfortable addition to the family ⛺️✨⛺️BW, Sarah
@SoloSarahBX my mic and reciever went in the washing machine on a 60 wash other week then into the dryer for a hour after that, I'd forgot they were in me trouser pocket, amazingly still worked !!! I'll be checking all my pockets in future 🤣🤣

Great video with some fantastic shots over the city.
It’s a beautiful view in the day and night. Feels so good to be the only one up there away from everything ✨thank you, ATB, Sarah
Nice one Sarah what a stunning little spot 👌👍
Cheers G
Hey thanks for watching! It’s a lovely spot, had many great times there to date and hike for many more. Quite a simple baron location but has a special feeling to it like a few other places that I find myself drawn to. BW, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX
Sounds totally perfect Sarah 👌😁
Nice and well done. I do the same with my pole. I put the red tab first. I found the top hat sits better this way. I believe for the newer black label soulo, Hilleberg have said to put the red tab pole on last.
Interesting. I remember when I got the tent I wanted to erect it correctly as not to put strain on the material or poles but I couldn’t find a definitive answer. It seemed easier with long poles first and red last. Sturdier with red first though? I suppose if poles are thicker the the red pole last would take more strain? Thanks for the feedback on what you do…BW, Sarah
@SoloSarahBX Hi. From what i gather it was red tab pole first until the black label Soulo came out.. Hilleberg then said to put the red tab pole on last. Must me because of the strain on the material on the black label Soulo like you mentioned. I have the red label Soulo and i am going to continue to put the red tab pole in first. I find the top hat sits down nicer when there is no cross pole pushing up on the Sewed seam of the top hat.. the pole keeps pushing the seam to one side and it always looks a bit off... Then again i am a perfectionist.... Or perhaps it was optional. Pole set up was optional until the black label Soulo came out
@@jamesdonoghue9358 great! Yes thanks for helping me think about this. I love the tent, want to treat it well on every outing! Much appreciated, Sarah
Hilleberg instructional video on UA-cam says put red pole over the top❤
I remember watching this too, then the instructions tell us to do it differently leaving me feeling confused! Tried them both, seems better with Red first?
Hi Sarah,I'm halfway through yer vlog an im thinkin wouldn't it be cool if yer bumped into patrick up there! Now that would make a fantastic vlog! Anyway its 4-30 Friday mornin an im watching you before I go to work,what could be better? Keep goin lass ❤.
I was up 1 hr later for work myself, don’t get home risk 20:30. Absolutely shattered, glad you watched! It would be great to say hi to Pat one day on my travels, I think him and I enjoy our solitude far too much for any joint venture , anyway he’s far to famous 🤩👌🏻BW, Sarah
Another stunning camp,you should get some Montane prism gloves there great for when your all set up,there really warm and pack tiny
Thank you for your advice 😊 I have a little list of things that people mention and although I have gloves and mittens they can be quite debilitating when needing hands for small tasks when out in the cold. Nothing beats bare hands over the flame of my safe small alcohol stove though. The disposable hand warmers are fantastic too, although I don’t like throwing things away! BW, Sarah
Another great vid, you were lucky...... John was still on Snowdon summit!!
Hey 👋🏻 I take it you know the reference to Liams vid then? I was howling with his disco mouse 🐭 😂😂😂😂😂
@@SoloSarahBX me too, so funny that video, I would of been up and like a shot!!
Thanks Sarah better than any SSRI..
That’s awesome feedback thank you 🤩
I love your videos - make me quite homesick for the biggest village in the world, its surroundings, people and the Sheffield accent. Please keep posting - it takes me back to my childhood 50+ years ago. You're dead right to enjoy it while you can. Siddee ar kid.
Ey up 👋🏻 I’m glad that my videos are familiar to you and remind you of home. Sheffield
Is special as is the Peak District. I’ll continue to roam my little kingdom of peat and heather to share with others to enjoy. When I love it so much, sharing it with others who do brings me a great deal of joy. BW, Sarah
Brilliant video x
Thank you Katie 😊✨⛺️
What's the rucksack you use ? x
Love your videos so calm and to the heart
Really glad to hear that 😊 thank you, BW, Sarah
Hi Sarah just 8min in but i remember back in the day some debate around which pole first on the soulo when they first came out. My experience with them over the last 10+ years is that for rigidity i always put the pole from the door frame to the centre first, like you did, i feel this holds up the tent better, esp if you ever start using 10mm poles. Is it just me, or is the video resolution alot lower than last time? Glad you've got back out, certainly some loverly crisp nights out at the moment, and some howlers too!
Edit - Apologies if you already know this - one for the future if you ever find yourself getting cold, as in struggling to maintain core temp and getting bad or really really uncomfortable you can always if you have the decent heavy duty proper nalgene bottles can always boil the water, let it go just off the boil and carefully pour it back into the nalgene bottle and tighten lid firmly, wrap a base layer around it, and hey presto hot water bottle, then in the morning just reboil to make your monring brew! Glad you slept well, i always think the key to that is fueling your body properly pref slow release carbs before that to sustain through the night. A flapjack and hot chocolate works wonders, for the body and mind lol ! As for Patrick, he make's me laugh with his "shed" but some of the meal's he make's when camping, once remember him lugging a pizza oven, legend 🤣
It goes up to HD after a couple of hours Dave, I dont know why her vids take so long to upgrade, mine do it in sixty minutes or so. I watch a bit at the lower res, then the rest in the morning when its upgraded. She makes cracking vids!
Chilled in bed watcvhing Sarah B out in freezing cold nowt better, nice video as always x
Thank you ☺️ glad that you enjoyed the chilled vibes in your warm house ha ha, BW, Sarah
I'm sure ya hubby is really dreading the thought of you and your hairy chest. 😂 Too much soup might not be good for ya in the long term 😁😀. Just a thought. 😎. I can relate to you about being anti social. I go kayak fishing and when I'm setting up every bloke on the beach wants to talk about it. So what I do to deter them is I put a put some ear phones in my ears and shove the lead down my top and it's amazing how many people will see the lead and just walk on by.. Another thing is really dark sunglasses because if they can't see your eyes to make eye contact they just walk on by.😎😂😂.
Get some gloves on ya pandys and keep em warm or you will get chillblains .
Take care. Charlie X
Ps.... great video.....again.
Hiya Charlie 😂 that’s cracked me up ha ha! Thank you for your tips. I can’t get away with that at work though, I have to talk to people but I do love that I can escape the busy and find peace in the Countryside. I might get some shades though, I never protect my eyes from the sun and I really should! Regarding hairs on my chest, he’s a good man, he would take me anyway I choose to be 😊 thanks for watching, BW, Sarah
Yes i like the comfort idea of taking stuff but carrying it different story😂how many litre pack do you prefer to use
Hey 👋🏻 yes, comfort and weight ratio is a tough one to get right. I’m getting there. I use a 50 lite rucksack. Seems perfect for the kit I choose to take for winter ❤️
Thanks for sharing Sarah.
Quick question,how do you find carrying a heavy rucksack on top of your down jacket,is it wearing the material away from the straps? I've noticed mine from a few trips,really wearing the material down. Any ideas how to stop it? 😊 Bri...
Hi Brian, when I’m hiking far I wear my waterproof jacket and not the down one as I’d get too hot and sweaty. I’ve noticed no wear on this purple down coat if mine however the waterproof is bobbling on the hips where there’s been movement mostly with my day rucksack. The Osprey backpack that I use for wild canoe has a handy silicone coating on the lumbar part of the waist strap and this stops it from moving about. One of many simple features of this backpack to aid comfort and compatibility with clothing I wear 👌🏻BW, Sarah
Could you give us a link for that book? What's title and author's name? Hi again, btw! 😉
Hi Neil, Sarah is sorting out a discount code from
The publisher if you’d like to hang on buying it? I’ll share it as soon as I get it… if not and you want it, it’s Kinder Scout, Mountain Walks by Sarah Lister 👌🏻 heyyyyy 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻✨✨✨✨
Lovely spot that Sarah at ‘Pat’s place’ eh Pat? 😊
What is it with you lot; Andy Beavers & Dave (solo summiteer) getting all mushy too 😢 in the latest videos 😂😂😂
Just kidding, keep em coming Sarah
ATB & stay safe
Dave (dicky bird outdoors)
All at it wernt we? Lol 2024 brings out the sentimental campers 😂 and non of us really knew it until all the vids uploaded into the ether! Great to see what make ms a camper tick. Talking is my favourite ha ha. Tek care, Sarah
I can't believe you and Paul Messner camped in the same spot and both posted a video within hours of each other! Great video again, my first RED Feb run tomorrow, can't wait!
I watched Paul’s video last night after uploading mine and I can’t believe how similar the content was 😂 we even have the same sayings…it’s a Sheffield thing for sure 👌🏻 😂 I knew you would come back and watch my video the day after Phil, it seems to take UA-cam ages to clean it up. Maybe something to do with the fact I’m using my iPhone and CapCut? I’m feeling the urge to up my game with filming because I enjoy it so much. I’d love a go pro and a drone. Might have to get a few extra shifts in for that 😂🤑 so expensive but spend cash on stuff you love doing and feels like a reward! My videos would take a bit longer to make as I’d need to upload to my MacBook 💻 so I’ll have a look into this. I love that I can have. After days off from work, enjoy a camp and make the vid in a few hours the day after. I’m finding that my vids are quite long at then moment (probs cos I like to include me chatting away in the dark lol) so phone storage can’t take it and I’m having to delete stuff before I export it all to UA-cam….some technical challenges to overcome here, as always BW, Sarah
👍❤️
Hiya Dave ❤️ thank you for watching ✨⛺️✨ BW, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX always a pleasure Sarah. 🏕️
I’m a red pole last person. I’ve tried it first but it was harder to clip the fly to the poles. You do what you like though!
After much deliberation…I’m
Going back to red pole last 😂 I noticed it was a tight clip too and down want extra strain on the connecting parts of the fly sheet. Thanks! 🙏🏻
I need a big campfire to keep myself warm when I’m out. Nowhere to do that? Not much trees there. Is it allowed?
No chance, buddy. Not on the moors. The ground is just peat. It'd potentially cause a wildfire. LEAVE NO TRACE! 😉
Hi Edward, please no fires on moorland. Definitely forbidden. Definitely keep that for woodlands with your own wood or dead wood that has fallen and dried. Having said no fires I always use my alcohol stove with extreme caution. The things I do to minimise the risks of fire up there are to use a non-spill spirit burner with a thin chopping bored and heat mat protector on the ground. I pour my alcohol into the burner very carefully with a small spouted bottle for a precise aim. The speedster stove kit I use is very compact and efficient and even feels safe to use in the tent. I always make sure the tent is well ventilated when I’m using it in there due to fumes/carbon monoxide. I keep warm by wearing layers and down clothing, drinking and eating hot food and the heat from water bottles and hand warmers, gloves and mittens 😊 Leave no trace, always, ATB, Sarah
No open fires allowed anywhere in the Peak District (including BBQ's) unless you have the land owners permission.
I see :) I live in Norway and most places I go for camping I can make a campfire apart from the fire prohibition periods. Sometimes I go out just because I want to make a campfire 😃 Wintertime it’s a must 🥶
@@EdwardLangeland sounds great! Happy camping 🏕️
Keep on advemture
Totally agree with you that you don't need to know the dimensions. As you say... It's what you're comfortable with.
I guess I’ve read a bit about the load on the body and what’s good and bad for me in terms of weight carrying but I bet for the amount of time I’m actually carrying it and how frequent I camp it’s no biggy. I will however try to get the kit weight down for summer camps…watch this space! I’ll be excited to share my new kit as I settle into my wild camping journey here…BW, Sarah
@@SoloSarahBX I just watched the film Everest, again. I know I told you earlier that you could do it but, even the most experienced high altitude climbers die up there so, stick to your Everest base camp idea and make a fantastic video about that. Cheers, Stan.
@@stanbewick2685 yes, unfortunately it’s a frozen grave yard of very brave adventurers. That film always fills me with trepidation and sadness for all that have succombed to that mountain 🏔️respect to them all! ❤️
@@SoloSarahBX agreed.
