Solo Winter Camping in the Snow with the Hilleberg Nammatj 2 & X-Boil Cooking
Join me on a really nice winter hike and camp in the mountains. Finally got to see some proper snow on this one!! For this camp I am using a new tent, the Hilleberg Nammatj 2 that my incredible wife got me for Christmas. It was really nice to have a bit of extra space in this tent compared to my other one-man tents that I normally use. As usual, after setting up camp and enjoying the views I sit down to make a nice meal cooked using my ultralight cook kit. After dinner I share some tips I use to stay warm when the temperatures are really cold in winter. If anyone else has any others please leave them down in the comments for everyone. It’s always great to share this kind of information so that more people are not afraid to get out and enjoy camping in the winter! I really enjoyed this camp and I hope you do too. Please leave any questions or comments down below and I’ll see you on the next one! Thanks for Watching

Your editing skills are truly amazing , I feel like I, too, have been on a journey. And then if the hiking and camp set up is not already a feat in itself you then cook a meal Gordon Ramsey would be amazed by 😂. Thanks for sharing! Watching from South Island, NZ

Great video. Beautiful raw nature scenery. Might be worth mentioning that only the US uses the old Fahrenheit temperature system and the rest of the world use Centigrade. So to understand what you mean by “cold”, 12 degrees needs converting to -11 Degrees Centigrade (eleven degrees below freezing point) for the rest of the world to understand you. We watch your videos all around the world mate and need to know these things :-)

Winter camping in the snow is one of my all time favorite times to camp. Aside from being beautiful, the silence you get when everything is covered in snow is something special. Although this tent is a bit heavy it’s a really nice home away from home that can handle weather better than most. Really glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for taking the time to comment! All the best 😀
I very much enjoy your videos and thank you for the extra work you go to to set up your shots. At times I feel as though watching you hiking I am your hiking partner, which is truly fun to be out there with a buddy.

Who doesn’t love a snow camp, really enjoyed this one, thanks for taking us along..👍🏻 I also got my first ever snow camp in last night, in my very own Derbyshire Peaks, was only probably 1.5” of snow on the ground where I pitched, but that’s good enough for me! I had gusty 40mph winds for around 3hrs, with a mere -10 windchill. 🥶 Still such an enjoyable experience though. 😊 ❄️⛺️☃️

One think I liked about my nammatj compared to my Nallo was that if you pitch the rear into the wind, the rear of the roof does not flatten with wind reducing living space like it does with the nallo. With the nammatj though , my head was always touching the inner, not so though with the nallo near the entrance. The nammatj is the best tunnel imho.

So very well done. Another hill and climbing challenge so tastefully communicated for others to share in. Winter hills hike and camp - one of the Earth's great rewards. As super luxureous the Nammatji I think I would get all afraid about heating such a large space with body heat, but the freedom to truely move around in a tent as you say .... And thank you for ending with your LNT messaging - makes me feel good every time a channel does. Respects.
@GoingSoloOutdoors
Жыл бұрын
I agree with the size of the Nammatj. The space is a real luxury but it makes much more sense for your body heat to warm a one man tent in the winter instead of a two man tent! I was plenty warm before bed but definitely a trade off when you’re in a small space for so many hours. With seeing people leave litter in the Peak District and all the drama in Dartmoor it’s more important than ever to promote LNT. Us wild campers want to hike up to a pristine spot more than anyone! We need to protect these places for everyone to enjoy! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! All the best

I have myself one in green, but I’m not so much into videos and a lift is for the people who really know how to create them.

Thanks! Good tip. Oddly enough the metal pegs were fine to get out. It was the plastic delta pegs that had really become anchored. They are great pegs but they don’t have a pull cord so if you can’t get a good purchase around them it can be really tough to pull them out. Would have been nice to have a small stone though to break up the ice around them! Thanks for watching! ATB
I was up in the lakes for some incredible snow fall last weekend. I had packed for a snow camp but didn't quite trust myself at the last moment - I'd not solo camped in snow before and was put off by the length of the night... also had a 3 season tent (Lanshan 2) so I think not staying up on my own was probably the right call. Watched this to see if you'd clear the snow from the tent footprint but ended up getting sucked in to your amazing video. Definitely inspired and hoping to get that first snow camp in soon (just a little more confident next tine!) Thanks for the video.

Thanks for watching Rob! Camping in the snow is probably my favorite way to camp but it does require a bit of extra kit to be more comfortable. I’ve used a 3 season tent in the past in the snow and I must admit, if it’s windy it can get quite cold. Just need to make sure your sleep system is dialed in for the temps. You should absolutely give it a try though. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment and watching a bit more of the video! All the best!

@@grahamscothern4319 it’s a good light system. My only complaint is that you need to use something under the stove if you are going to cook in the tent. For instance I used a small soldering mat on this camp. Recently I did start using it with my trangia kit and the regular size stove fits perfectly which is cool!

I am new to this channel and catching up older videos. Most others I have been watching are way below your standard. I am a big trangia fan but those x-boil units are on my list now.

The trangia stove is my all time favorite but the Xboil stove is also fantastic. Especially when lighting it in cold weather. It’s extremely easy. My only complaint is that you can’t store the fuel in the stove and it doesn’t have a simmer ring like the trangia. Really appreciate you watching my older videos! Hope you’re having a nice weekend!

Nice Video,,, I have the Red Nammatj2... you may already have these, but if not, an extra set of poles to double pole if needed is nice in high winds.

Nice! It’s a fantastic tent. I do have an extra set but I have yet to use them. I’ve been pretty happy how it handles wind with just the single set of poles. But if I ever see truly terrible weather is in the forecast I will def double pole 👍. Thanks for watching! ATB

Snow is the best water ! If you can find some fresh , and have enough heat I’m always worried about dead deers up stream. When taking water from the streams, so I always used snow that was freshly laid. Old Owl 🦉

@@tomfenn7149 as someone who already loves cooking I do enjoy the challenge! For multiday treks and to save weight dehydrated meals are fantastic though. I would actually like to try to make my own on one of these camps. Maybe I’ll do an in-home cooking video and show how I make it. I used to make beef jerky all the time, but I’ve never tried to make a full dehydrated meal. Could be fun! 👍

@@GoingSoloOutdoors I tried them (dehydrated meals) years ago, in Canada in fact. I agree they're more convenient and they've likely got a lot better in the last 40 years (!!) but my dad and I found them bland and tasteless. I know there's a current trend to try and make your own. I think that is good, as some of them are also extremely pricey (typical Brit here- always looking for a bargain!! lol )

Thanks for watching another video! Unfortunately no, I’m absolutely terrible and following recipes as I don’t like to measure anything. But for the sauce I usually use shallots or onions, mushrooms, cream cheese and chicken stock, with salt and pepper to taste. At the end top with parmesan cheese and parsley. You can put it on pasta or add any protein you want! It’s very tasty! Hope that helps.
Hurrah, the evening and the start to weekend is sorted. Will write later about the video itself.
