Peak District WINTER Wild Camp In SUB ZERO Conditions 🥶
So back in the Peak District for the first wild camp of 2023 in a winter wonderland with sub zero conditions. It was an absolutely fantastic night and definitely what I needed!!
I had a superb night and I hope this is a start to a fantastic year of great adventures that you will all want to share with me too!
As always THANK YOU so much for taking the time to watch my video I do appreciate it tremendously 🙏🙏
Stay safe out there and keep enjoying the great outdoors....
Chris ❤👍😊

    Hi Chris. Thanks so much for the mention, really appreciate it! 👍🏻 It was good to meet you in person, after watching many of your videos from last year.. It sure was a perfect night and location for it, especially for a first wild camp of the year, and getting both a perfect sunset/sunrise..(and even some snow) Although, that 40mph wind after around 8pm with a -10 windchill was brutal! 🥶 Enjoyed our chat on the way back down to our cars also. Atb - Scott.

    Hi Scott!! No worries mate was great to meet you and thanks again for watching the videos! It was an epic little camp and some stunning views all round 😊😍 The night did get a bit crazy though and you prob had it more than me too being more open in the wind direction 🌬 Really enjoyed the hike back down and hopefully we'll get another one in soon... ATB... Chris 👍🏻👍🏻

Otherwise it was very enjoyable in the tent with the right kit. Loved it!! Cant believe I got rewarded with both golden hours too... just what I needed it really was.

We really enjoyed this video, so good to see you back out again for a camp, we don't think your smile left your face the entire video so you clearly enjoyed it too😊👊👍. What fantastic conditions you got, snow still on the ground and the colours in the sky with the back drop of those iconic peak district rock formations were absolutely stunning 🥰🌄👏. Your drone shots were unreal too👌. Great to see you get recognised, that must have been surreal but a really nice experience😊. What a feel good video this was, loved it, defo made us want to get out there again, although we might stick to hiking for now and wait until it warms up a bit before a wild Camp, we aren't as brave as you!🤣 🏕🙈. Keep em coming, will be great to follow your adventures in 2023, All the best, Shell and Pete😊👊👍

    Hi Taff me old mukka hope you're well 🙏🏼 Well technically wild camping is obviously 'not aloud' anyway in the Peak District, but yes the Gamekeepers and especially the ones from the Moscar estate were patrolling a lot more right after restrictions were lifted around April 2021. A lot of people were getting caught out so to speak more in places like Bamford Edge and especially after people who dont usually do wild camping were taking ridiculous tents up, bbqs, lightning ground fires etc and all the things you shouldn't be doing. But since then I went on a day hike around August 2021 on Bamford Edge at 0930 the sun had been up for hours and there were 9 tents still up there!! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment 🙏🏼❤️ ATB...

    Hi Ryan! 👋🏻 For this particular bag, the Rab Ascent 900 I used a Sea To Summit stuff sack, but its also a compression sack so you can really squeeze it down like a normal dry bag then compress it down even more with the straps. It is made of eVENT material and goes far smaller than the standard stuff sack you get. For this bag I use the size 'M' .... they do XS / S / M / L / XL I believe size 'M' is 14 litres. Hope that helps and thank you for watching bud 🙏🏼 ATB... Chris 👍🏻😊
