HAIL STORM SOLO CAMP - Great End SUMMIT Lake District UK - WILD CAMPING and BACKPACKING with a Dog
GREAT END SUMMIT CAMP IN A HAIL STORM
A long walk out In a weather window with looming grey skies. 50mph+ winds and huge hailstones batter our camp at 910m as we keep safe in my Fjallraven Abisko Lite 2 tent wrapped in down. A tough but enjoyable night In the great outdoors.
Leave no trace and stay safe(ish)
All love
Al and Blue

Amazing- he trusts his dad!
I remember one camping trip with my dad in the 70s when I was 10. He pitched on a cliff top in glorious weather in Devon on the way down to Cornwall. We had one of the larger family frame tents . The weather changed in the night and I woke up to a howling wind, torrential rain - and my dad running round outside knocking pegs back in, then running back in and wiping the water running off the frame before running outside again to check the stability of the tent. Such was the trust I had in my dad, I went back to sleep unconcerned, lol. Now, watching the conditions you are often camping in, my stomach is churning!

Rain? Check. High winds? Check. Hail? Check. It's like Mother Nature said, "Oh, look--Al's going camping again. Let's see what we can throw at him this time!" Proper respect for getting through all that and keeping you and Blue safe. Even more respect for keeping a smile on your face while doing it. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. I don't know how you manage to film while fighting the elements like this, let alone produce the wonderful videos you do every time.

i think it is because camping is good for dogs. gets them back into nature where they spent the vast majority of their evolutionary lives. haha. like for us really. EDIT: For Blue, it is like a big long walk... with a nice shelter for a break in the middle. haha. Well I suppose that is exactly what it is, but... he is in his element... is what I am saying.
That tent is fantastic in the wind. Even at the wind's full force you could see your breath on camera and your breath was stationary. There was no air shifting through the tent at all. Thus, it was taking the full brunt of the wind and inside although chaotic and shaking, there was no breeze passing through. Nice.

It is inspiring to see you in such harsh conditions with a smile on your face and Blue with not a care in the world! This past summer I got caught in a huge torrential storm with high winds and I cried, lol. I was scared of the trees falling on me and I couldn't see a thing bc my tent is a fortress with a big rainfly and vestibule. I got through it and next storm will be better. We live and learn. Good on you guys for really sticking it out in some tough yet thrilling conditions.

In army jungle training we were taught to make chopsticks from sticks we got from trees. One bigger stick is great for stirring. Of course, I don't suppose you want to leave the tent to gather sticks.
