WINTER Wild Camping in SNOW and ICE | Tarptent Scarp 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- A freezing winter wild camp in snow after an icy scramble up a scottish mountain in Glen Coe, Scotland. The temperatures dropped in the night to roughly -9 degrees Celsius with a windchill of -18 degree Celsius and snowfall.
The plan was to scramble up the ZigZags on Gearr Aonach in wintery conditions, finding a winter wild camp spot near the Stob Coire nan Lochan North-Face so that the next day the approach to the broad gully/ forked gully on the north face wouldn't be to long. Unfortunately the snow level wasn't yet high enough.
Hope you enjoy the icy scramble and winter wild camp - ATB Stripey

Bloody hell lads - that icy scramble gave me vertigo just watching - reminded me of things I used to do when I was younger, never again. A great video and I have tent envy - well done and a new sub here 👍
Thank you very much MCM Outdoors! 😊👍
Just watched this and could feel a shiver.
Probably the thought of a slip 🥶
😂👍
Wow. Absolutely loved that 🥶. Big thanks 🙏🏻 😎. Subscribed 👍
Thank you so much The Solo Summiteer! ☺️👍
What a fantastic scenery. You are the bravest man on earth to climb in them conditions. Stay safe and warm. Thank you for sharing your amazing video.
Thanks a lot Smooth Guiness, glad you enjoyed the video mate! 😊👍
Oh wow! That's so nice to hear! Thank you very much Smooth Guiness ☺️🙌👍
I had white knunkles griping the side of the chair watching the ice scramble, and then you peaked over the edge. I was shouting at the TV "back away from the edge".
Absolutely amazing video,
My head for heights like this went about 10 years ago. Brilliant video guys thank you.
Thank you very much Path 2 Peak! 😊🙌👍
The video is even greater than I imagine , just WOW ! I didnt know you did hardcore climbing , one bad slip and you where gone . I will be looking this video another time on my big screen tv , the view needs a bigger frame to contemplate the stunning surrounding . I am getting use to your accent and understand you better each time . With quality video like this I have no doubt your channel will rise rapidly and you have such a charming personality . Thanks for sharing ,
Sylvain , Québec, Canada
Oh wow what can I say Sylvain? Thank you very much ☺️! I am for sure not a proper climber so, I like to use my hands every so often but I know for sure that a lot of my friends back in Germany will only smile at me when they hear that you mentioned hardcore and climbing in the same sentence with my name 😂😂😂. Thanks a lot for watching Sylvain, hope we get some more snow here in Scotland soon - ATB Stripey 👋
I have just watched this !!.Absolute respect! Immin thaw of both you. I've no idea how you do this kind of things ...blown away :) thanks for sharing....M
Thanks Merky! Is just for a long time my hobby/passion - still annoyed at myself that I started recording 1.5 years ago and not when I was 16 😉😂👍
Wow what a beauty, loved it.
Thank you very much 😊👍
That scenery was just stunning!! Stay safe 😌
Scotland is just an amazing scenic place, guess everyone who likes the outdoors will love Scotland! 😉👍
Totally amazing stripey.
Some scary 😨 shit there.
You make it look so easy.
Brilliant mate enjoyed it.
ATB Tam .
Thanks Tam, was really a great tour. Looks for sure worse than it is 😉👍😂
Really enjoyed ur all video with tents 💯🥶🥰
Hi Haidar Oo 👋,
thank you very much!
ATB Stripey
Can see my red transit camper in the background 😀. Was a great weekend...whether was perfect and Glencoe looks fantastic this time of year. Great video. 👍
Thanks a lot Steven! Jepp was absolutely stunning even so a bit windy on top and rather non tropical temperatures 😂👍
Wow what an awesome video Stripey and beautiful scenery 😄 I don’t think I could walk up that route on ice but well done 👍 and a great tent 👍
Thanks a lot Twin Peaks Wild Camping! Yeah Glen Coe is a really stunning place with plenty of different routes - never boring 😊.
Thanks for watching!
ATB Stripey
Lol selfie stick in hand 😁 I'd have been gripping the rocks like my life depended on it..got a scarp on order looks really flexible options wise 👍
Hi Robwithdog Outdoors, yeah the Tarptent Scarp 1 is a really nice tent, hope you will enjoy yours as much as I do 😊👍.
Thanks for watching!
ATB Stripey
Hardcore stuff stripey well done 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Alan! 😎👍
Recent new subscriber. You had me worried there on the steep bits Ive never done that sort of scrambling in icey conditions . A geat video.
Cheers 🍺👍
Hi Dave, yeah winter + a big rucksack makes thinks for sure more difficult than in summer. Probably best to start slower on things when you haven't done things like that before. Rule #1: Safety first! 🍻👍
Ok,this was super cool. Great video and Beautiful nature. Cool climping. I like the tent. 🙂🙃🙂
Thanks a lot Eventyrsoren. it is really a great tent the Scarp 1 👍
Hello and great wild camp. Hairy climbing to get there but worth it. Really really enjoyed watching. Well done. Atb Steve 👍
Thanks a lot Steve. You can also go just the normal way via the the Bidean nam Brian path and then to the Gearr Aonach Sister but I thought this one would be a bit more interesting 😄👍
Yes it was interesting indeed. I have camped at the lost valley a few years ago. It's beautiful. Thanks again 👍
Oh I really like the lost valley as well. Just such a calming and beautiful place and absolutely unique in my opinion. Have never seen such a big flat hidden valley before in my life. Cheers
Beautiful 😊
Stripey, man balls of Steel, on them zig zags with poles in one hand and camera in the other, stunning views 👌 and great filming.
Thanks Paddy 😂👍
Heyup stripey chap💥💥. It's fantastic to see the "glen" at this time of year for free! It's a coin flip between glencoe or glen etive far as our favourite Scottish Glen's go,.... 180mile trip from my front door,so multi gratitudes🙏🙏👍
Cheers Fraser! I prefer Glencoe over Etive - mostly because of not having the one way street 😂🙌👍
Absolutely gripping viewing doing that climb up 🥶 great video and the tent is an awesome bit of kit which can handle whatever the British weather can throw at it,great work 😀
Thank you very much Drew J P Coops! Hopefully the weather gets soon a bit better (colder) plenty of trips in my head which I would like to try...but to be honest it looks like rather next winter unfortunately 😏.
Thanks for watching!
ATB Stripey
woa was there the same time. We did Wildamping too :D with out Hillibergs hehe. AHAHAHHAAHA u see the red van and the white ford fiesta in this video ahha the FIESTA is mine with the michael jackson sticker on the back and the red one is my mates hahahah thats hilarious lol/.
Haha great, have you guys been down in the Lost Valley for a winter wild camp? ATB Stripey
@@StripeyHatGuy Oh no , But its something my mate Steven was thinking of. I am more or a Summit camper tbh. I just did Sròn a' Choire Ghaibh Saturday night just gone. Windy course but perfect morning, great night :), I like the extremes haha,
I like all wild camp's, said this summit wild camps are absolutely my favourite ones 😉 Your wild camp sounded great, not ideal start and then a great next day - everything done right 😄👍
@@StripeyHatGuy Thanks man, hey Ill message you a few pictures on instagram, think i found you there and messaged u lol last week. Sorry I was just over excited that i spotted my car hahahah not that big of a deal tbh lol jokes
No worries 😄👍 Looking forward to the pictures!
And be careful from danger mountain brother❤
Awesome!! True gentleman
HELLO. WATCHING. CAMPING. VIDEO. LIKE LIKE.
Stripey Hat Guy :) a big fan ..can I ask ? Why don't you and Murray from Scotland's Mountains do a joint wild camp :) that would be a highlight of all time given you are up there with the best Scottish vlogers way up there my friend. Your channel is AMAZING and in such a short time..
Oh wow, thank you so much for the nice compliment Merky! I am not really a person who likes to bother others with stuff and probably I am also not good in asking. Just enjoying the great Scottish outdoors when I get the time and we will see what happens in the future 😉.
@@StripeyHatGuy well I'm sure Murray wud love it in my opinion... He does link up with the best like yourself and he's probably a big fan of your endeavours too. Here's hoping 2022 that joint wild camp in Glencoe will happen .... Thks again for reply ... ☘️
Thank you Merky 😊🙌👍
Would love to see that joint venture
Thanks P B66. As I mentioned before to Merky, I don't want to bother others - particular bigger channels as for me it is really just a hobby and trying to share my big and small adventures. I can only imagine how many channels are approaching Scotland's Mountains for a collaboration and probably most of them for personal channel growth. @walkwithwallace approached me for a hike and now we are going every so often for a wee hike. 😉
Thanks for watching!
ATB Stripey
Absolutely amazing, Stripey! You are such a brave man. Stunning scenery.. good camera work.
P.S. you need a stripey helmet :)
Oh absolutely not brave but thanks a lot treklinda. Great idea with the helmet so might use some of the flower pot covers my wife made 😂👍
Wow, that was fantastic, had a touch of vertigo just watching, great upload, 😍
Thank you very much Paul ☺️👍
Absolutely brilliant Stripey... Loved it 😁😁What an amazing tour😁😁👏👏
Thanks a lot Murchies Mountains 😊🙌👍
jeezo that was a tough one, epic views, well done guys.
Thank you very much Madmacs FPV
Stunning tour and video Stripey! 👏👏👏
Thank you very much MaliceGLA 🙌👍
Them views are amazing what beautiful mountains
Glen Coe/Scotland is just mega beautiful Andrew and snow makes it even better in my opinion 😎👍
Love it, Minus 18 and will be a fresh one. Excellent video and content 👌
Thank you very much Ian of the Taylors! 😊🙌👍
Hi stripey wat can I say fantastic awsum amazing sorry if missed any great words out well done thanks for sharing it with us all truly stunning video keep up great videos cheers
Hi John, thank you so much! ☺️🙌👍
I've been up there in similar conditions. Must have been a graft with the pack on though! Good effort
Thanks a lot John! Yeah a big rucksack makes easy things for sure more demanding. In wintery conditions I usually do only scrambles which I have done in summer before or which a 1-2 grades below my comfort level - safety first 😃👍.
Thanks for watching!
ATB Stripey
Great video, thoroughly enjoyed the entire watch!👌🏻
Thank you very much Niro! ATB Stripey
Hi from Russia. Nice tent! I haven`t seen it before.
Hi Alex, thanks a lot! The Tarptent Scarp 1 is a really nice tent for the rucksack I think - considering the weight/packsize/price ratio. Not sure so if it would withstand a Russian winter so 😉 ATB Stripey
@@StripeyHatGuy :-))) I dont hike while winter time. Usually I prefer kayaking.
Very good
This is amazing Stripey! That is some effort getting up there with the huge bags too, but well worth it for the views 😁 love this time of year.. look forward to seeing some more adventures 😁 atb, James
Thanks a lot James, nothing better than staying on a hill. Just sad that we haven't had enough snow in the broad/forked gully. Maybe next time 🤞❄️
Love it, Stripey!
Thank you very much Martin, hopefully more snow is coming soon 😎🤞👍
Fantastic video! Subscribed for sure - I've put that scramble on my list, it looks great fun.
Thank you very much Urbanen! The scramble is great and not really difficult (ok depending on your rucksack I guess 😂😂😂). Hope you enjoy it and thanks a lot for watching. ATB Stripey
Another great Scottish video SHG, keep up the good work and stay safe out there on the hills......
Thank you very mich TheQuietProfessional - will do my best 😊👍
Tolles Video, nice winter trip. Good job 👍
Danke NHT 👍
Gigantisch 👍 die Berge dort sind ja nicht sonderlich hoch aber zu dieser Jahreszeit nicht ungefährlich.. Dazu noch diese Kälte.. da habt ihr 2 aber eine perfekte Leistung hingelegt. Wie heißen den deine grünen Fäustlinge bitte ? Die sehen sehr robust und warm aus. Danke das Du dieses Abenteuer mit uns teilst. Beste Grüße Gennaro
Hi Gennarocamper, vielen Dank! Ja nicht sonderlich hoch aber man darf auch nicht vergessen das man fast auf null Meter Hohe startet 😂. Die Fäustlinge sind von Mammut, kenne den Namen nicht, Mann kann sie aber auch als Fingerhandschuhe verwenden, sind nur winddicht, nicht wasserdicht. Habe meine Handschuhe welche ich benutzte auch nochmal im Winter Wild Camp Gear Video. Viele Grüße Stripey
Excellent video stripey 😃👍
Thank you very much Abel M. 😊👍
Brilliant Stripey. If your gonnae winter camp then you may aswel do it in style. 👌😎☃️❄️
Hahaha you made me laugh Kev! Thanks a lot 😄🙌👍
Awesome tour 👍
Thank you Derek! 😊👍
Excellent video Stripey
Thank you very much Hiking & Biking Scotland!
Superb trip, subbed now, not sure why I had not before really,just been watching them.
Love my scarp 1 and great to see it being put to good use.
atb fellmandave
Cheers Fellmandave! Yeah the Tarptent Scarp 1 is a great tent really like it so far as well 😊👍
Nice vid mate
Well done 👍🏽
Thank you very much Dave! 😊👍
Wow. What a beautiful spot with breathtaking views. Really insightful to see a winter climb and camp. Does the xlight keep you warm in below zero conditions? I use mine for the three seasons and the sea to summit extreme ether mat for winter. Although the extreme ether is very comfy it’s about the same size and weight as my scarp tent. 😂😂 Great vlog. Subscribed, Atb, Michael
Hi Michael thank you very much! No the Xlite in these temperatures isn't enough for me. I used also the z-lite underneath which should give me a r-value of around 6.
ATB Stripey
Good idea to combine both for a better R value. I think my sea to summit is a bit of overkill for my needs but the comfort overshadows it’s bulkiness. Enjoying the channel, keep up the good work. Atb Michael
Yeah you definitely shouldn't underestimate the impact of comfort 😃👍
Nice trip guys, looked great fun! The tent looks good, is it holding up well to the wintery conditions?
Thanks a lot Sam! So far the Tarptent Scarp 1 holds up really good, said this I only had now once the time to test it in wintry conditions - hopefully soon more snow is coming 🤞😃👍
Good stuff enjoyed that matey. Cracking conditions, and not too windy luckily 🙌🏼 The pack size made me go offft 😂 Keep it up 👍
Thanks a lot Outdoor Intrigue, yeah luckily it wasn't so windy. 💨❄️
@@StripeyHatGuy You based in the Highlands? Let me know if you fancy a wild camp sometime, we are just in the hills near the Arrochar Alps.
No unfortunately not, I am based near Glasgow. Thanks for the offer, will probably come back to it. Thank you 😊👍
@@StripeyHatGuy Well not too far away then. Always nice to meet another UA-camr and hill goer. Take care 👋🏼
Another excellent video Stripey.Respect to you and Robert for taking all that heavy kit up the zig zag route and having to break the crampons out.That couldn't of been easy.😀👏👏
Views are always amazing when the mountains have their winter coats on.😎👍
Thanks a lot Andy! Aye it is always a lot to carry but so worth the effort, difficult to describe the beauty of waking up on a mountain with fresh snow from the night. 😍☺️👍
@@StripeyHatGuy Hoping to have a few good outings walking this winter,but i'll leave the hardcore camping malarky to you two,lol.🤣🤣🤣👍
Haha hopefully more snow comes soon mate 😄👍
Am I right in think that you've got snow baskets on your walking poles? Do you recommend these for Scottish winter walking/ camping?
Hi Mark 👋,
I think that the snow baskets are really handy when you have like 20+cm snow, particular when the snow is slightly frozen. I would definitely recommend to put some basket's on the poles when you expect snow on the hills makes it just much nicer using the trekking poles as the don't get 'hooked' by every step.
Thanks a lot for watching!
ATB Stripey
Thank you for your reply SHG. 👍
You should have loads more subs mate, awesome stuff 👍
Thanks a lot MattDoesMountains ☺️👍
Too scary for me mate. Looks like you’re a good alpinist.
Thanks a lot mate! I wouldn't consider myself good or alpinist. Just a guy who spends to much time in the hills 😉
Cheers
Stripey
That was brilliant. Enjoyed all of it. Dedication getting the footage when it so cold on the scramble. Atb gordon
Thank you very much Gordon, worth the effort when I watch the video in a few years 😊👍
@@StripeyHatGuy Very true. That’s what I think with my videos: they are great memories when we’re old and can’t walk anymore ;-)
👍 absolutely! I just wish as probably everyone that I would have started earlier with filming my little adventures 😁
@@StripeyHatGuy yep agree with that!
Do you carry a shovel in those conditions?
Hi Mark 👋,
no I don't carry a shovel for these conditions. I would carry one if I would expect like 40+cm of snow at the camp spot plus snow during the night.
Thanks for watching
ATB Stripey
Looks amazing, do you have any trouble getting your gas cylinder to work in those conditions? Well done on hitting 1k subs!
Hi OldStag72, yeah quite surprised to be honest that so many people watching the videos ☺️👍 Nope the gas works fine apart of a little bit less pressure so cooking takes a bit longer. Said this I use the "Coleman extreme -27" I think it's called. If the advertising is right I should have some degrees left 😂. I use only my much heavier multifuel for temperatures below -15 degree Celsius.
Another fine video SHG. I'm not an experienced walker but I have done a wee wander round SCnL, Bidean, and SCS in misty then brighter conditions, so it was nice to see the area with a winter coat on.
Was just wondering, how you pass your time.(when not sleeping) when confined to the tent so early in the evening.
Thanks Johnscot1. I usually have a book on my phone and a couple of strategy games as most of the time I have no signal in the hills. Said this I am also usually quite happy to get some long sleep to catch up from the week 😂👍
Great videos👍. How do you clean your pot when you've had pasta in it? Just rinse with water?
Hi Phil👋,
just with water, depending how serious you take it with leaving no trace/how short you are with water you can also drink the 'cleaning water'.
ATB Stripey
@@StripeyHatGuy Thanks for the reply. I only found your channel yesterday. Love your content. Subbed.
Thanks a lot Phil ☺️
Nice video. Where r u from. I guess Bulgaria 😅
Thanks lucy81. Nope I am originally from Germany 😉
@@StripeyHatGuy Bulgaria?! I mean, you have like the most stereotypical German accent I have heard in a long time (in a nice way) 🤣
Hi, Are you still happy with your Scarp1 for winter ans snowfall conditions ? BR
Hi 👋, at the moment I am using the mld duomid in winter as I prefer the pack size but yes the Scarp is a brilliant tent apart of that.
@@StripeyHatGuy Do the Duomid handle the snowfalls ?
So far so good but I haven’t had more than a couple of centimetres yet. The walls are much steeper and I would assume the snow will just slide down the walls.
@@StripeyHatGuy Thanks. I have a duomid like (Khufu Locus gear) and notice that in snowfall the space inside tend to be reduced a lot. That's why I think about the Scarp 1 or the Soulo Hilleberg. What's wrong with pack size of the Scarp1 ? BR
@@user-jq9lr9vc4f Due to the studs in the corners of the Scarp 1 (only removable with 'pain') I can't put the tent last thing into my rucksack it would need to be on the outside (2 studs per corner, around 30cm? long). Or I put the tent first in my rucksack and then the rest - which is just not practical for me. I like to pack first the inside away and then the outside.
The Duomid I can just pack together and stuff it at the end into my rucksack as it is just material.
Whow real mountaineering on a uk trip video. You two chose not to rope up but having an arm and upper body used to balance the camera while you walked up on ice on rock perhaps made you feel exposed and wish for a rope? I guess its hard to tell from my viewpoint but perhaps you considered fully putting away the camera? Anyway recognition for your ambition and well done.
I guess it is all depending where you are coming from 'justmyopinion'. There is no wrong or right as long as you feel safe 👍
Thanks for watching
ATB Stripey
Großartig! Hast Du das mit der Fuji gefilmt oder lag die nur zum Fotos machen als Zweitkamera im Zelt?
Danke Aaskereia. habe die Fuji fürs filmen am Zelt benutzt, wenn ich nicht kraxeln gehe nehme ich sie für alle "stand" Bilder aufm Stativ 😉👍
@@StripeyHatGuy ...dann wurde auch die Zelt-Szene im Dunkeln damit gemacht? Da dachte ich, ich spinne...wie scharf und nicht das kleinste Rauschen. Da soll nochmal einer was gegen die kleinen Sensoren sagen.:-) Danke für die schnelle Antwort, habe soeben abonniert!
Das habe ich mit ISO 3200, 14mm f2.8 gemacht (X-T2). Alte Kamera aber mega zufrieden! Danke fürs Abo 😊👍
