I’m off to Nahanni National Park tomorrow, Northwest Territories, Canada - the Land of the Midnight Sun. It’s a long way from Kinder Scout where I spent my youth in all weathers. We have ten days planned from the fly in to fly out. I’m 59 now, but I’ll never stop this adventuring until this adventuring stops me. Keep it up, Paul.

You, Pat and Andy Beavers are the ones that inspired me to go out on my first wild camp recently. Thanks to you and your Wild camping videos, my mental health is doing so much better. Keep going Paul, you're still young! ;)

​@philipwalton4877 we all suffer sometimes you've just got to do things that distract and make you feel good like camping and exercising. Much love

With each passing year, I definitely feel the cold more. My 'winter' sleep kit is becoming my 'all-season' sleep kit. 😂

Merino layer all year now.

Genius, the way you put the tent down 👍 We might get older but we get smarter too. We’re allowed to evolve as well like you have from bushcraft in the early days to where you are now. And it will change again just as we change. That’s our own evolution and I loooove the fact you share your evolution so openly. Follow your heart, your gut, and keep listening to Jo! 🙏

We (me and the Mrs) have had a small Eriba caravan for a number of years but we are campers at heart. So..... last year we decided to get the old tiny Saunders Spacepacker tent out which was last used in Iceland on a cycle tour in 1989, just to see if could still hack it at the age of 80 and 77. Yes it was a bit hard but an old air bed made it a bit more comfortable and the tent stood up well. Cooking was done on a Trangia with gas burner. It was great fun.....so you're never too old Paul, but it does get harder for us real oldies.😀

Love your vids, both your old format and your new format. Always interesting, well made, nice editing, nice footage. Keep on, keeping on! Need to show your last but one vid, Last But One Action Hero, to my sister so she can understand why we do all this stuff. And yes, really like it when your most excellent wife features in your vids. My most excellent wife is a huge part of who i am and i quite often mention her and our son, in conversation to my customers so they know exactly where i'm coming from.

Don't think I could cope without living in the Pennines(not an overly pretty bit). Early dart from work MTB out,stove n tea bags loaded up and I'm a happy man.

I’m not a landowner (apart from my garden) but if I was not only would allow him to camp , the wife would probably bring him more brews than me 😂

Lovely to see you out Enjoy Camping❤ whatever may come.🌬💨,⛈️🌂🌞🥶🥵 Thanks for Sharing Dear😊 Love to the Mrs.🤗 Have a Lovely Weekend 🌞 Rochelle

Paul from me your daily vids are great and out the box and your wild camping ones and reviews on gear keep them coming. 👍🏼👍🏼🫡

I love all your videos. I think it's your presentation style that does it for me. I find you're personality & "way" very calming. My wife & I are "car campers" ... Probably closer to glamping than camping. We use a 4 person tunnel tent that I can stand up in (I'm just over 6 ft) and electric hook up, on campsites. I'd love to see you do something similar sometime, showing how your camping skills can be adjusted & applied to the "family camp site" way of doing things. Keep up the good work, I'm loving it. Oh...& If you're ever visiting Ireland, look us up. There's a welcome on the mat.

I think the video a day this month has been really good. We've seen more of the 'real' Paul Messner which has been really nice.❤

The COLD in June! That's crazy how the weather has been. Your hot Steak looked good and must have helped tame the COLD for a bit of time. We're experiencing extreme HEAT temps in the Southern USA. AC, 2 fans, and no bed covering is our order of the nighttime rituals. I've all but sworn off cooking except for One Pot meals, it's too hot 🔥 in the kitchen 😆. 😂I feel a tear form 😂.

Just keep doing it! Age is often a mindset (don't let the old man in!) Recently met a lady doing the TGO at age 84!!! Did Vivobarefoot replace your boots Paul?

Cheers thanks Paul.

What you are doing is keeping you healthy and young. You have a good sense of humour and that’s another TICK. You have a loving, funny and supportive wife - another TICK. If you feel forced to do the camps then stop, if you don’t enjoy it anymore then stop or do less. You don’t have to have a “sensational “ risky weather camp for me, you don’t have to put yourself in danger, you can have a tame and easy camp for me - I just like tagging along seeing the UK all the way from Australia. Do what you can and you enjoy.

Get some veggies into yourself. Helps with body temperature regulation. Another smashin video. I'm 66 and still trekking about with my dog. I'll camp till I drop. There is absolutely no replacement for peace of mind. Thanks Paul.

Cracking evening and glorious views 👍 And love your idea of a good balanced ‘food pyramid’ - steak, steak & steak🥩 😂

I'm really enjoying your dailies, the interaction between Jo and you is heartwarming.

They are my cup of tea, I've just turned 50 as well but my knees are shot so I need your vids to keep me going, cheers Paul

Awesome. I came home to see this pop up in my recommended and I was chuffed to bits as I literally stayed there last night. Even filtered water at the same spot :) some guy told me to camp on kinder. Don’t know if he was messing with me but I spent an hour hiking into and out of a featureless bog 😂. I ended up near your pitch and it did get cold but It was amazing. And I’m only doing this stuff due to being inspired by peeps like your good self and Patrick Dickinson. So thanks.

Variation is great, some camping videos and some other stuff. What about a video preparing to go camping when you are old? Like using an electric wheelbarrow to carry your stuff :P

Your Vlogs are still interesting and the change this month has been generally great to see something different.

Its a great video again Paul, keep at it, you cannot beat getting outdoors, I'm 54 and still yomping, just recently boxing the Jurassic coast walk with my two boys and three other friends. I'm on the CUMBRIA WAY in a couple of weeks... love your stuff, you were the first outdoors KZread video I watched getting me on them there hills again... thank you

Hi mate, for some reason I love watching your videos, I’m not even into wild camping!”YET”. I was only watching a review on a sleeping bag, because sometimes I sleep in the back of my van.. I’m watching a couple of your videos a night at the moment😂 I actually find them therapeutic..🤙🥂

Hi new to your channel and love it. Cooking meat slow is the best way to do it, heard in your voice when you took your first mouth full, got loads of videos to watch and looking forward to all of them, take care of yourself and see you soon Alan, 💯⛺👍

Good vid. Little summer breeze. Two X's today. Se you tomorrow. Gota love a Hille in the wind

Pure class what this man does amazing views thank you very much take care all and godbless all

Love your camping videos, it’s why we watch you. Mix it up with tips, reviews and new locations and you’ll be grand.

I enjoy the daily’s. If I’m honest the WHW type stuff is the best but I’m sure you don’t wanna spend the next few years walking up and down Scotland just to please others😂 Variety is the spice and all that.

Paul, just a suggestion for a future wee film, show us some useful knots old chap ? regards to you and Jo x

Nice to wake up to a vid this morning.

You are a really good man. Do what ever and be ensured I will still support you.

I think that other guy who left before 5am knew the weather was coming in 🤣

Those tables are fab. Bought a couple of those at least 20 years ago. Great for your pint next to your camping chair 👌🏽🍻😎

Paul, you need a plumbers soldering mat to protect your table from the stove. Tinfoil just won't cut it.

WISH I WAS THERE ! LOOKS GORGEOUS AND THATS MY FAVE WEATHER .

Thanks for the effort with all the videos your doing and awesome job at keeping up with the challenge. Do it the way you want we will appreciate it anyway.

Do something with a hammock for the dailies! 😊

I know some people aren't into the gear stuff but you should do a room tour video and go through all your gear I find that stuff interesting

Been a treat getting your varied videos every day, quite a challenge at this pace but you've pulled it off so far. 👍 Happy birthday to Jo! 🥳🎂

Love it when Pat gets a mention!

I find camping in the wind quite exciting. Being in the right tent makes a huge difference though. Anyhow, how about a video highlighting all the various types of stoves that are available and what the different types of fuel can be. As in gas, meths, sticks, pellets, solid fuels etc… There are a lot of new campers around that may not be aware of the various options. I’ve just got my Firebox flat pack cooker out of retirement and are using pellets in it. Not as easy as gas but more fun which is what it’s all about. 👍

That wind is brutal! Wow!😮

Another fab video Paul, back to your bread and butter video. Looking forward to your 5pm vid. Keep them coming I say.😊

Enjoying your daily videos. I like the variety. I used to live in Bradford and have walked/visited many of the places you go to. I am now lucky to live on the Isle of Wight, another great outdoors place! Keep up the good work. Best wishes.

Hi Paul. I've really been enjoying your daily videos, have watched them all and it's great to see you back out camping in this one 😊👍

Another great video Paul, keep camping and cooking mate.

Genuinely think this June your channel has hit new peaks!

Great video Paul,Some beautiful scenery,But that poor steak lol!😆👍🏻

always a good day with the orange mug.... cheers!

That was great Paul. Nice to see you back in the hills, but I have been enjoying the daily vlogs a lot. I enjoyed the last section, taking down the tent and packing it away - very satisfying.

Have a very Happy Birthday Jo. I think it may have been Paul's snoring that drove the other camper away.

Another great video Paul, thanks for sharing. It shines through in the videos that you are enjoying the experience, just carry on doing what makes you happy.

Love a good camping video. You inspired me to get back at it again. Which I very much appreciate!

Windy one up there Paul... I just recently bought the unna... So impressed by the space in there... Can make a huge porch and still have space... Very underestimated tent. Thanks for the vid. Always good to see u out 👍

I've loved your daily content so far Paul. How about a video on your recommendations for tents, sleeping gear and cooking kit on the budget, mid and high end budgets? Thanks.

Weather looked lovely Paul ❤️

Keep it up with the daily stuff Paul. Love the videos. 👍🏼

Great video Paul keep them coming thanks Daren

Hi Paul, enjoying your videos, and the new mix it up content with your nice down to earth style and of course, great to see some laid back British content 👍 You're quite well established now, if you're worried about things getting a bit "samey", try going back to basics, many of your viewers aren't starting out with your gear or experience. Things you take for granted may be informative to others, i.e. planning, choosing routes, gear selection, identifying water sources before setting out. Maybe even some of your bushcraft. Keep it up pal.

Enjoyed that one paul thanks for the great content 😊

Really nice video, I liked the fact that in your short daily you showed the selection of gear, and then we see the camp with that gear.. Loving the table.

Hi Paul, why not travel further afield even come down to Kent or the south-east? What do you think?

I use Red Eyed Hog seasoning for my meat. Available in the UK from 'Jackal Firearms ', up your way somewhere. Worth a try defiantly.

its not blood its water with protein called myoglobin that gives it that red color

Stick with your winter quilt then me thinks

A couple of Mars bars in the middle of the night keeps the furnace burning.

I'm missing my tent this weekend. My family comes first 😂😂 roll on next weekend

Caught a few out with an early release. Great video as always.

Wish Joe a happy birthday from me please Mr messner.... I spent wed, Thurs, Friday in peak district.. did wed night on winnets pass ( wake up for solstice sunrise) .. Thurs on kinder , went home Friday morning. ( video out today ). I got sunburnt. Weather wise, I have never had it so good in the peaks... Take care out there.

Thumbnail game ses to have visibility improved since this challenge! Really proud of you mate, loving the daily vids

I really like the daily vlogs!😊

Just do what you want to do 👍

A bit too windy for my liking.. but good to see you out..

Love the daily stuff👍

Looks stunning 😍

Not fun taking a tent down in that wind! Always thinking it will fly off 😂

i use my e bike for camping,just a thought if you can get hold of one, great for getting out into the sticks without killing yourself

Oh….😮 did I miss the greens ? 😂

good job 👍

Super little adventure as always. If ever you fancy filming something different, I can give you a little walking tour of local historic sites either up on The Ridgeway or the neolothic sites of the Wiltshire hills. Linleys360 is joining me for one of these July 1st. Understand that's a really long drive for you though! Keep up the great content, you are the de facto wild camper and your other videos are super too.

G'Day Paul, think all these vids in one short/day long shot wkly scale type style shows the person you really are,. What your about n not about, thats really good for your viewers, so they can fine tune their viewin, was just wondering if any viewers out there use square space to there advantage n possibly why,. Would be grateful,. Urm just one, the shot of the pig's head boulder seems to have lost its teeth, but the shot of walking to crowden tower was of opposite direction from where tha first came from,. The pigs head, meyby the was a pub there,. Anyway take care al same👍

great vid!

I see that your wearing your C Nesbet jacket!

I reckon a "paul learns to kayak" series!

Enjoyed that - thanks Paul. Any thoughts on the angry farmer + slurry incident in the last few days?

Paul, Do you ever notice the cupules or cup marks on the rocks you’re walking on? I’ve seen several in this video.

I see loads but not sure how they are formed.

Happy birthday Jo hope Paul's done you a weird and wonderful date for u.xx

here is an interesting question which I have made myself as I am doing some outdoor hiking myself in Norway and tents from time to time. I've been thinking taking 2 years travelling with my electric car and put my clothes and tent + hiking gear in it, and live out of a tent and the car for a year or two travelling and saving some money. Do you think this is something you would be able to do or is this something just out of a "dream" ? hehe, good question really.

Terrible steak as you say 🤣 but not the easiest to cook on that stove! Nice video though and thankyou for sharing

Hi Paul what fuel do you use in that stove? Love the film BTW👌

Hi Paul, just keep plodding on, I am nearly 56 and have 1 plastic knee, an artificial shoulder, 2 pins in my neck vertebrae and having a full knee joint surgery around October/November, oh and 2 hernias and I am still going, Just! Iam not sure if many could beat that for injuries false parts and still be hiking?

That tent is flappy isn’t it? I would have expected it to be taught, maybe the Terra Nova would have been a better bet.

Regarding bringing fresh meat etc, do you bring it up frozen so it’s generally defrosted by the time it’s due to be cooked. I’m 59 and only just started getting into to wild camping with my dog. I live in Kent near The North Downs I’m not the fittest and a bit overweight but regarding the hills I just take my time at a steady almost slow pace, I mean what’s the rush.

The Hiking Rev is near 70 dude and walks 1000s of miles. Don't be thinking age. Don't take this the wrong way, but matey, focus on strength and fitness. No need to live like a monk, but if you want to continue doing this in later years, you gotta get the cardio and strength in order.

Paul... your breathing sounds much less laboured nowadays...must be the steak and eggs... Thanks for your videos

Small cast iron pan. It'll sear it better.

Chris Townsend has 25 years on you 😊

What a windy one! Where is the starting point for this hike please?
