Just been recommended this channel. What a great channel it is! I’m over on Exmoor, much less wild than Dartmoor! 😂 All of my wild camping kit is currently in a box in the wardrobe..since my daughter came along it’s just been sedate family camping for the last 3 yrs. I miss wild camping on Dartmoor...maybe time to brush it all of! I used to go to the Dartmoor prison officers bar with my Dad, usually for Dartmoor letterboxing meets, in the late 70’s and 80’s. Petra is a lovely hound, I’ve got a Springer myself. Whilst it’s great to have company when camping, it’s not so great to share a tent with an enthusiastic bog swimming spaniel! 😂

Hi Shamus. No wonder you couldn't message back on Saturday night! Excellent video with not only some fascinating facts about the Prison but I loved the technical explanation on the double pegging. I bet that was a BAS 'top tip' from when you were out in a field party. I also thought you were brave with the chosen exposed location but it's great to have faith in your kit! As for me well I would have applied the first principle of survival (Protection) and would have used those rocks to hide behind! 😂 Anyway, another captivating video. Keep them coming! ATVB Graham

But otherwise it would have been a video about some mist and rain 😂 The peg thing is something I di with rope rescue systems to support ta driven stake for a rescue package (ie people) - getting long pegs into snow in Antarctica isn't normally a problem - except once in a real blow, we ended up digging in dead men and all sorts of shenanigans ... It wasn't a good night, one side of the tent was tied to the dog sledge which was tied to the dogs who were tied to a rock 😂😂🐶🐶

Great tips and a very robust tent! Nothing like a little wind to enhance your wild camping experience! When I was a kid in the 1960's on Dartmoor, we were warned of any prisoner escape, not so much as to the danger they posed for us, but more for the danger Dartmoor posed for the prisoner! Those bogs, just suck!

Hi Karl - Y pegs are very effective 👍 But... I have had them rip guys in the past. In a recent trip with Hilleberg Y pegs they severed one guy line completely, I felt the tent lurch and I dated out to fix it (knot it), only to find that another guy was within a couple of strands of parting. I personally prefer a more rounded profile peg on a guy line when there is likely to be tension and vibration on it 👍😊🐶
