When this guy says he's going to make some dinner I assumed he was going to pull out a freeze-dried ration and boil some water on his gas cylinder stove. You know, quick and easy. But no, he starts chopping fresh veggies and browning 1/2 pound of beef. But that's not all, he whacks out a Trangia alcohol burner in those gale-force winds, and then proceeds to lit it with a match, just to make himself a proper meal. That's my new definition of dedication. Never again will I complain about my camp food.

Great stuff mate. Arduous conditions requiring resilience to continue on. The Nammatj performed well - concerned the guy tensioners slipped....I'm going to take the plunge on this tent. There are a tonne of Hilleberg Haters out there (for no reason I can discern), but they're the best shelters out there - as shown in this video. I always enjoy your uploads mate. ATB, Chris

It’s a fantastic tent! I may have made a typo in the video if I said it was the guy tensioners. It wasn’t the guy tensioners it was the fly tensioners at the base of the vestibule that were slipping. This has never happed to me before but it definitely wasn’t ideal. I was able to stop the slipping with a single overhand knot in the ribbon material but it was a bit annoying. It may have been because it was so saturated by the rain. Not sure. Really appreciate the comment Chris. ATB

Am from the carribean and maybe for you its just rain ..for us to have a weather like that its just a blessing

Tenacity backed up with a positive mental attitude in spades. Knowing that you have top class kit with you certainly helps you psychologically when you encounter perilous conditions like you experienced in the wettest area of the UK . Sone good tips in the vid and the importance of having tertiary back up with the Garmin In Reach. It has definitely prompted me to make a purchase including an emergency bothy shelter when I'm up on the high fells with my small group of fellow hikers. Just another great video,highlighting the Lake District in its characteristic weather patterns which can turn nasty and dangerous in the blink of an eye. I also have to comment again on your culinary skills,simply amazing. Take care and ATB. Michael.😊👊👍

You’re absolutely right about the psychological benefit of having kit with me that I know I can trust. It definitely helps to maintain my focus on other aspects of the camp 👍. Definitely recommend carrying some kind of emergency device. Doesn’t necessarily have to be a Garmin as there are many more options available now that were not available when I purchased mine. But I have been happy with its extra functionality 👍. Really appreciate the comments Michael! All the best!

Question - your meals all look delicious. But why don’t you do the prep (cutting spring onions, slicing garlic, etc ) at home, before you set out? It would save some time (and waste) once you start to cook?

@GoingSoloOutdoors

2 ай бұрын

That’s a great question. Typically I bag all my ingredients a day or two before a camp. The morning of the camp I take it out of the fridge drop my kids off at school and have typically a 4.5hr drive then a few hours to hike. Most of the time if I were to cut certain ingredients ahead of time and bag them, they either loose their moisture or get slimy and mushy. And sometimes my plans also change completely and all the ingredients can remain fresher for a few days longer until I can actually get out for the camp because they are uncut. I want to have a fresh meal like I would make it at home while I’m out so I don’t mind the chopping at camp. I enjoy the entire cooking experience 👍. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. ATB

This one gave me a good chuckle 👍. Yeah he’s been great. I only had to pay him once and since then he just sits there with the camera wherever I tell him. He’s pretty lazy about walking, though. I always have to go back and get him. OK, I will stop. I think I’m starting to get into dad joke territory 😂. But Tri last name Pod is great! … It’s official I’m a dad 😅. I took it too far, but I do really appreciate your comment! In this weather, I wasn’t convinced I was able to get any nice shots, but having the GoPro mounted on my the tripod I normally use for my large camera definitely helps 👍. ATB
