WILD CAMPING IN A SNOWSTORM
2 nights trapped on a mountain in a snowstorm within the safety of a tent. Highlighting the difference in weather conditions between the valley bottoms and the mountains and making sure you have the correct kit to suit your adventures.

    All your videos are great but the last few have had an extra edge to them! Extreme high winds, Striding in the dark and now this, truly epic stuff mate, and all very safe. The look on Blues face the first time you got out the tent was a very rare look indeed, even on your face, you both understood the necessity to get back in pretty quick. The second time out the tent looked pretty perfect, when Blue is jumping, that's a good indicator that all is well, not that you need a clue when all is good. Even a bit windy, the place looked amazing, look forward to the next vid. Stunning job again mate, really badass💪😀..🤘

    Dogs have an extremely acute sense of smell which makes it impossible for them to not know our mood and emotional state from the smell on our breath of the hormones our bodies release. They are also acute readers of our body language and our patterns of behaviour. They know for example from a preceding action what rhe subsequent action is likely to be. If your dog is at your side through every waking moment, he will read you like book. That's the relationship Blue has with his boss, and the one my goldie has with me.

    I was just waiting for you to trek back through the snow after playing with the 🐕 dog, and suddenly say to the camera..."I can't find the tent ⛺! " 😂 Since a 5-year old kid, I've loved being out experiencing wild weather...and now at 64, I still love it...the wilder the storm the better. It simply makes you feel happy and keeps the boy inside me alive. Viewing your short film today, spending a few days on top of a mountain 🗻 in storm Barra, really shows what living outdoors in rough weather is like. It exudes the awesome power of nature... balanced with both yours and Blue's sheer enjoyment of just being there together. A positive outlook is all it normally takes to survive in most situations. Loved it! Subscribed. 😉 One short note regarding the ⛺ tent: I think the Fjallraven needs a few adjustable air vents higher up the walls to allow circulation in these situations to aid release of trapped air. Using double layer of poles I think was a really positive idea. So many modern tents have thin, lightweight yet very flimsy poles that just can't cope with severe storm gusts. Right....on to part 2! 😉

    @@BUSHMANandBLUE Judging by your positive attitude, I'm sure you'd have been fine if the tent collapsed. Probably the worst scenario would be for the fabric itself to tear, and then be ripped off the poles by severe wind gusts. But then, you'd simply trek back down, with Blue guiding the way home. 😉

    Almost need some type of line to find your way back to the tent in a white out . Heard old family stories from Minnesota winter time where they had a rope from the farmhouse to the barn just forty yards alway to avoid getting lost during these white outs . People have frozen to death just feet from their houses in these blinding storms . Totally disoriented.
