BRUTAL BLISS SNOWSTORM CAMP ASMR - Helvellyn UK Wild Camping with a Dog

is in look at that for now then here we are me and the mo the camouflage M he Blends in so well in this snowy terrain anyway we are out on an absolutely brutal brutal Adventure we're headed to the summit of Hell in and we've come across a fairly sort of straightforward way up there's nothing too technical about it but the wind is just nonstop and because of that it has just made every single step hard work we're just currently hiding out the wind just sheltered for a minute so I could just at least talk to the camera but you can see the spin drift it's going to be a tough one we're heading to the summit of hellin and once we get there we're going to assess the situation see what this weather is like because it's probably absolutely crazy winds up there and no place to pit your tent especially with the uh increased danger being so cold current temperature is about - 2 but we do have a wind chill of- 11 today so it's not a place to be about at all W and when that wind wind hits it really does hit anyway I've got all the gear to survive I've got my mits on full uh windproof jacket and bottoms we just need to get that place to pit tent e complete white out there look at that here blue come here well we've made it to the stomach shelter but there's not really much shelter because the wind is just swirling around all over so we're going to have to get ourselves back down from here and I think the uh easiest and safest way is to go down swirl ledge so I'm going to put my spikes on and then we're going to take a very very slow steady descent down swil ledge down to the to and then we'll see what happens when we get there but this is just too much it's too much I'd never get a tent up in this I don't think go on get them all right stand it's my turn a little bit slower it's definitely about being the toris today not the hair and there's definitely no race well then blue get on goodbye stand it's always good cuz he generally picks the best path to go down so I can just sort of follow his Footprints and it also gives me a gauge on how deep the snow is how slippy it is so yes although I'm not as able as him as a team we do pretty well he helps me I help him go on then get on Blue all right stand yeah it's all about having that control really making sure that he doesn't get lost is brutal though absolutely brutal just can't see a thing nothing well I've made it down swirl Edge and it was very slow going no point risking anything at all so every single foot I placed and made sure that I was going to be safe with it it's bloody brutal though you'd never get down that in these conditions without some crampons though not a chance it would be just lethal anyway we're down to relative safety always following the dog we've made it down to Red town and you can't really see much anyway it is definitely a wild day anyway the weather it did say that it was going to ease off later on so if I can endure this the next couple of hours it just means that we can get the tent up get into some nice warm clothes and that's some nice food so it's actually really tempting but it's finally somewhere to p piit a tent that's all it's going to be out of this wind what are you doing down there come on right I've had some time wandering around and pondering and I've come up with the decision I'm going to Camp what I was on the summit I was thinking there's absolutely no chance that I'm going to be able to Camp because it just too wild and to be honest if you go 50 yards that way or 50 Ys that way it is still bloody wild and it will be a struggle to get the tent up and I think there'll be a lot of the spin drift just constantly pushing up under the fly sheet and on the inner so I think it might be quite annoying so what I'm going to do instead I am going to pitch here which is right next to the town and all of done is I've sort of dug out a little bit of of the uh gravel and um I've pulled it all one way and I think I'm going to be able to squeeze my tent in and what I've also done is I've grabbed a few rocks already and those stones are going to just hold the pegs in cuz this stuff here as you can see it's just a bit gritty and Sandy so anyway let's have a go getting this tent up and at least we can actually get to camp out tonight I'm happy now I squeezed her in and it was definitely an awkward challenge it was like playing a very hard game of Tetris but I've made it work I've got to use a few Stu stes on the pegs just to make sure they sort of stay in the ground because obviously I've just basically gone into gravel so there's not much purchase on them but she's standing quite well there and in that time look at the bugs absolutely covered and the dog as well hey blue luckily it's quite a dry snow so it it should just sort of shake off us anyway and then we can get in the tent get some nice warm clothes on and have some food I reckon absolutely awesome I am so glad I decided to uh do this cuz I could have quite easily backed out in my head I was honestly 50/50 so yeah but look where I am look at that a fantastic view of some uh Misty town I fail battered that has definitely tired me out after enduring all that weather for the last sort of few hours and then having to battle getting a tent up and I finally did it and I'm quite happy with it cuz it's obviously going to keep us dry for the evening but what an effort that was so now I am warm cuz I've got my jacket on I've got my sexy leggings on but these are slightly damp cuz I did have them on under my trousers so I'm not going to put me down bottoms on until my body heat has dried these out of bit RAR uh the dog's covered up he's sort of been cleaning himself so he's happy as well and now I am going to just have some lunch a late lunch we will say and this is like a tuna pasta type thing you can see that so obviously pretty healthy and it's quite filling as well so it's perfect really just to carry up here although if it did get punctured this sort of top whilst it was in my bag it'd end up with all these sort of oils going everywhere so definitely have to be careful I really do feel I need that what a dare as hon asly just been what's the word for it bollocks well it's still light I'm going to get out and see what's going on oh wow got do this way up there well that is just absolutely beautiful if my tears weren't Frozen it would bring a tear to my eye absolute Winter Wonderland just beautiful I am going to have to be a bit careful with this tent though cuz as you can see we've got quite a lot of uh snow that's piling on top of it and on that side so I'm going to have to sort of keep giving it a shake from the inside just to get rid of some of that weight but apart from that you can't beat this can you anyway I'm going to get myself back inside and probably a cup of tea I think that'll be a nice thing to have now yeah I just absolutely love it welcome to the chaos of my tent it's literally the messiest I've ever had it I've got stuff hanging up I've just boiled some water cuz I'm going to have a hot chocolate and coffee so that is going to be absolutely welld deserved I've got wet gear just sprawled out everywhere I'm keeping myself dry my down gear just on this side of the tent cuz obviously this is what's going to keep me warm for the night I am on my third set of gloves this is my little uh set of RAB gloves which are like what they called the perex quantum gloves and these are just a really small packable M so I put these in for getting in the tent when everything else is wet and it just gives me something dry to keep my hands warm the other two pairs I've had on on uh these mits which are the pH designs kapper Ms and these have kept me warm today that is definitely been absolutely brilliant having those on and then just for the dexterity I've got these RAB I think they're called ice Gauntlet gloves or something they're quite old these they have just been a brilliant set of gloves for me but they do definitely get wet now that's my only issue so I could do with like upgrading and maybe getting a pair that's going to keep me drier but this is why I have three sets of gloves so I've always got something to keep me hands warm because it's all about survival when we're up here we've got blue just uh falling asleep down there we've got bags boots wet gear out there I've got an absolute pile of junk at this side snot rags head touch ready de it is a bit chaotic sometimes but you know I'm going to walk off this mountain and then get myself home tomorrow so I can dry it all out and salt it h out then and just enjoy what I'm doing at the minute and that is having a cup of hot chocolate yes I can't get into that there's no chance use me magic teeth so that is the coffee oh it smells good actually that and now I want to add the hot chocolate I'm so looking forward to this this will sort me out won't it I won be mourning about a grubby messy tent then will I when I'm soing this I'll be in my own little world thinking about nice things in life which I generally always do I'll give that a stir and then I'll find the lid pop that on I'm just going to let that sit for a minute cuz I think it's going to be too up to be honest ah dear brilliant eh just brilliant it's just awesome to be out I honestly just love I love Adventure I love just taking myself to places that just excite me you know it's one thing coming to somewhere like red town I've been here several times and camped here several times but you know the weather makes it very different and you know it's it's like every single time you come out it's just a a different and new adventure and like I've said before you wake up the sun rises and it's a new day and you've never seen that day before you have never seen that day and there's no way of predicting what's going to happen so I just love getting out and embracing that yeah awesome E I do talk some rubbish though don't I I really do oh dear oh well could be worse that's better we' got some light on the matter it's just starting to get a bit darker now that is exactly exactly what I needed absolutely gorgeous that I can still hear a very light pitter patter of the snow I think let's have a look outside and see what's going on it is starting to get a bit dark though but oh yeah we've got some very light snow still very eerie looking out there is't it looks like there'll be some sort of a lake monster just going to start wading itself towards me I'm not scared I'll just butt it one and it'll be knocked out straight away no one's taking my chocolate away from me it's amazing how calm it is out there really considering the morning that I had absolutely battling my way through that absolute horrendous weather and look at me now I've uh enjoyed all that and now I am sat in a tent smiling I am comfortable I'm warm I've got a hot chocolate and I'm just in a very very calm place and there's just something to be said about that I mean that's sort of quite a good representation I guess of a lot of things in life where you just end up in quite difficult times and hard and it's always playing on your brain you might suffer with anxiety from it and then you as long as you just keep moving you pass through that temporary time and then you come out the other side and then you end up in a nice place again so it's just uh it's just something to think about really is it I mean as I say everything's just temporary you just got to keep plooding on through it and moving sitting still is the worst thing definitely because that just uh that just means you're sort of rotting in that singular Place whereas if you're moving you're just always refreshing yourself and sparking your brain with new things somewhat along those lines anyway I'm just sat here enjoy me chocolate oh dear being present that's what it's about being present in it all I've just made myself a chicken curry which is just an army ration pack and I've added some extra grains into it not bad yeah as good as that could do with a bit more Spice in it really on this cold night although it's actually changed from being minus two which it was sort of all day to about plus two now so it's a bit sort of sleety outside which is um obviously going to cause everything to be damp because it's like saturated air and that's why in here we've got just a ridiculous amount of moisture so if I need a drink I'll just lick the tente but hopefully we'll survive the night that's what it's all about can you hear that absolute silence and I've been satting that for the last couple of hours without a thought in my brain just in complete peace and there's not really that many times in life where you can just absolutely switch off but it has honestly been Divine yeah I've got a full belly I'm nice and warm I've got a big fat smile on my face and I just feel completely elated after an epic day out in the mountains in some testing conditions brilliant just absolutely brilliant anyway I am completely ready for bed it's very damp in here so I am sort of sat on my mat which is like a little island just away from all this moisture but we only have to survive the night and then we can get back home and dry all the kit out and not worry about it now eh anyway it's time to lay this lug and then when we get up in the morning we will see what tomorrow brings so we'll see the morning take care morning flowers well I slept absolutely like a baby last night but as you can see we have got a fair bit old W set up here and I flippy around here as well we've got plenty of snow everywhere put end if I can show you I can't even get anywhere here I'll show you here but obviously again we got quite a bit of snow hanging about so I'm going to get myself up and have a look and see if we got to Sunrise are you ready for this you can see it first a look at that wow right let's get out and see what's going on out there e just amazing right Bluey dog let's see if we can squeeze out a b wow look at this just not a sound for for h wow absolute Tranquility just ruined by an airplane that's it did I am all out of objectives it's just next level that is it that's what it is next level absolutely awesome just to note this is quite a good example of the difference between a three season tent and a Four Season tent this is three season and obviously it's not the best with the snow loading because it sits on top of it and doesn't fall off ideally you want all that snow to just fall off to the side so you've not got any of that weight sat on top and when it does sit on top you can see we've got a little bit of a pool there and that's because obviously the heat in the tent is is warmer than outside and I've actually heated that out with my body heat and we've actually got oh look at that we've got Waters out there as you can see it's water underneath but it's uh all Frozen on top just showing the difference in temperature between the two s eh absolutely s for there we go that looks a lot better it's regained it shap now right what to do then I am just completely enjoying in this it's just incredible the silence the Tranquility of it all and not a breath of wind literally nothing I'm just looking at my temperature data from my little widget and last night it generally hovered at about 3° CS within the tent so obviously it was colder outside and that was shown just by the puddle on top of the tent as well as the Frozen little ball that we found and currently now I am holding it out here and it is 0° so we're just at about freezing point so anyway it's interesting to sort of know the difference between in and out I'd like to get another one of those and I can have one outside and one inside just to double check and see what it's all about e just slowly get packed up hillow as well whoa so in that bag I have got my sleeping bag my down trousers my down booties and my pillow and it all packs into that little tiny thing it definitely serves on pack weight and pack size drop that into a full dry sack and that's going into my bag got to get your down gear dry e what else oh My Wo ax hot hair let's get rid of that I've got my trousers here as well which are absolutely soaking from yesterday so this is what I generally do I'll carry some waterproof bottoms but cuz I've also got my leggings it just means that I can wear them down as a dry outfit if I do get wet which these are very much soaking so I'll find a place in my bag to put those as you can see the cloud has dropped and that is also mean that the temperature dropped as well so I've got my hood on just to keep my lugs warm I've got my lovely mitts on which are definitely keeping my hands warm the bag is packed the dogs bags packed we just now need to drop the tent and hopefully find all the pegs in the Pro say it's pretty Airy that though is it look at that you that booger is [Applause] is can you hear that more of that silence it is absolutely Grand I honestly feel like a new man coming out here and just being part of all this anyway the tent is packed up I have left no Trace sort of although I annoyingly think that I've lost a peg so I'll have to come back at a later date and try find that when there's no snow around backpack's on Blue's got his backpack on and we are ready to ski d a let's get ourselves back down for a nice cooked breakfast somewhere but it has just been epic has it just been out in that wild weather yesterday and obviously having all the kit to be able to survive that things like gloves very important and these CER gloves from pH designs have been absolutely awesome when I put them on this morning they were actually damp inside and now that my body heat is sort of heated them up a bit the moisture has dissipated to probably the outside of this and uh they are now comfortably dry and warm and yeah setting the tent up with all the Gatekeepers nice and warm for the night and now we're just going to leave this mountain with a big fat smile on our faces e yes awesome anyway if you enjoyed the video give it a big fat thumbs up a fat thumbs up and uh if you want to contribute as always you can whoa fall down a hole uh dear I need to concentrate a bit more and you can buy me a coffee and then buy me a coffee link join the p Pon and just make sure you are sharing my Channel
