Terrible place to pich especially when youd forgotten the longer pegs. You're a lucky fellow. From a fellow Scot please be more careful 💙

When. I was a Marine arctic instructor, we use to train in environments like you were in. I trained and taught others how to use their equipment in these conditions because I knew we may have to fight a war in places like that and I wanted us all to survive. However, it was always beyond me why anyone would camp in these places for fun!😅 I can think of so many other places I would want to winter camp. Especially where there is firewood available! It is a dangerous environment, especially alone! Be safe my friend.😊

Glad your back safely, all the best.

WOW!!! That wind! OMG that was insane! Glad you made it through!

I was that terrified watching that I will never ever camp out or even be able to sleep well tonight...

Mother Nature can really kick you up the arse at times, but you made the sensible decision to call it a day, your tent poles can be easily replaced, so long as you're safe and well that's all that matters. Everyday is a school day as they say. Thanks for sharing, you've gained a new sub.

Worst night I ever had 3rd January 1990 above Kinlochleven, hurricane force winds, tent pole snapped, held it up all night, small stream running through middle of tent. Still enjoyed it, I must have been a crazy young man.

Flipping heck mate. That was scary as all hell. Glad you're okay and managed to get out of there safely. Good game isn't it? 😂

Bloody hell mate you sure took a beating at nature’s hands, great video mate

Glad you made it out ok, I had a problem with frozen ground last week and not enough snow for deadman anchors, I was lucky there was a nice hut nearby.

Holy shit. I'm glad you survived. Peace stay strong brother.

I sympathise, I had a similar night in a Durston Xmid in the beacons in late April, bloody pegs! Now i have a collection of peg’s always taken regardless of forecast 6 Easton long stakes, some Big yellow ground anchors and MSR Groundhogs (no crappy mini ones) you’ll be better prepared next time!!

This is probably going to be an unpopular viewpoint. Is it wise to be drinking two cans of beer when pushing your limits weather wise, in the knowledge that you’re facing a storm in these cold conditions. I’m opening it up as a discussion point rather than a criticism.

We gave up on those thin little stakes long ago. Alway carrie big contruction nails with 2" wide washers. Nice tent.

Thank you for sharing this experience, it helps to know all eventualities of wild camping especially what can go wrong, so I learnt a lot from your video, as well as seeing some beautiful scenery :)

Love the video mate👍🏻 was considering buying the nallo 2 myself . If the tent is designed and expected to be in severe conditions it shouldn't be up to you to buy additional pegs to make it SAFE!!!

You endured enough to gain all our respect. Salute to you sir. Awesome video and experience for all of us 😁👌🏽

Hi there.thanks a lot for sharing. do not be hard on yourself .it is winter it can happen. i have been through my self a couple of years ago and lost part of the equipment. i did not give up winter camping and as subscriber I do hope to see you back.have a good one.

I sympathise, I had the same tent for over 12yrs, I took it cycle/camping all over Europe and it performed brilliantly. Then last October during storm Babet (I think it was called) I was camped in Pateley Bridge, the winds were so strong the outer was blown against the inner and capillary action took over. I was getting a constant shower all night long! By early morning all my kit was wet through, fortunately I was using a sleeping bag cover or my down sleeping bag would have been a soggy mess. Anyway I threw the tent out and bought a Durston X-Mid 1 person tent. Haven't regretted it.

Good to see you made it down ok.i use msr ground hog a mix of the large and mini also I take delta ground anchor's for when it's going to be very strong winds.

I can advise you to put mat under a silver foil not other way. Even if your mat have a good rating you inflating with a cold air so my advice will give you extra C to comfort.

Still inspiring video to go camping, thankyou.

Always a learning curve 🤔 after a couple of bails in the past i always take a bit of a variety of pegs and a few delta pegs which work well in soft boggy ground i take 4 eastons too they came as part of a scarp 1 not sure i trust them 100% as the end fell off one before i even used it to camp ☹️

Randomly enough i was only saying the other day to someone any tent, even hillebergs will fail pretty much instantly once those guy's come out and great in a sad way you've made this video as an education to those less experienced to prove just that (hope you get your new poles ok though)! There is a certain false sense of safety at present by some people i've seen and met that having the best tent and gear that give's people a certain feeling of invincibility, im sure you have come across it over the years on the hills only for when things come unstuck without the experience things can become interesting for them very quickly. Nature is beautiful but brutal. You've mentioned the ground was soft underneath and on moorland, if i can get them in i will always have Delta Pegs with me as they are so simple put super effective. I find the stake like pegs, in any wet ,moorland ground will always work loose (re easton etc), Delta are far better. Failing that as guessing frozen so not going to get them in double pegging anchor's is an absolute must for high wind. Always when i see pressure dropping rapidly and i know a storm is coming i'm happy to spend a few hours hunting getting heavy rocks over the second peg - but i know you said couldnt find any. I think the real take away here is to put each guyline on separate peg also, not the 2 from each pole into the same peg (time 16:30). Again a must in high wind, as if one rips out the other will be in and well it gives you a bit more time to get back out and sort. But yea i always carry those delta ground achors when im away in remote area's where weather forecasts aren't relaible or for longer durations. Oddly enough you probably would have got more shelter going another 75m higher into the rocky ground more just before the ridge as im guessing your already on the leeward side, few gully looking systems relief also higher up. Have used hillerberg for 15+ years all over the world, even in the Arctic circle and never had one fail, even in hurricane winds as you correctly identify its defo a pegging issue. I think that looks like a Nallo, i would avoid taking the red label tents except the Soulo and Akto in storm force + conditions when solo. I think the Nallo from memory is an odd one also as in can't order the 10mm poles (as in no matching tents pole lenghts in the black range). So i use a nammatj 10mm pole on the Akto etc (also the nammatj is a great tent). The 10mm poles also make a huge difference i've found from experience, worthy for the soulo as never had 1200 Kerlon fail, let alone 1800. Also i see alot of people these day's on the hill carrying walking poles with the metal tip uncovered and just behind there head. In bad fall's backpacks don't always stay nicely on your back and your head can snap backwards and the last thing you need is this, or long tent spikes that are in the side pockets on an angle towards you impaling you (the peg issue whilst freaky accident i speak from experience happened to a very experencied climbing partner of mine falling from an easy ridge and not being switched on when tired on the descent, and not being roped). Another one i see alot of this winter is having a bloody ice axe again pick end up just below and behind neck/head. As an easy safety measure it's alwasy worth putting the rubber tips back on poles and keeping the feet end down in the holder. Lastly if you don't, always carry a decent waterproof Bivy Bag when solo, just encase, even a cheap plastic one more than likely save your life if you can get in it with your bag and your closed phone matt underneath. Sometimes when things go wrong like this it can quickly be a catalyst for things to snowball. Bugging out during the night, in a storm case in point esp when you might be tired from an active day, body clock catching up, calorie deficient and after a hip flask/tins one slip and a bad lower limb fracture or head injury and it can start being a fatal event. As you no doubt know being imobile and then not being able to get shelter out of that wind and temp and the down rab bag would soon be useless without a bivy in that snow/sleet its likely to be a recovery job not a rescue. In the worst case its about buying time until can get to you. In that weather from what i saw with the limited footage its pretty much a guarantee the SAR bird will to not be able get team member's up the hill to stablise you to prevent hyperthermia intime nor extract you if head injury or internal bleeding and need urgent surgery. Would be a long shout and if in a dip or signal blackspot and you don't have back up sat com device your then onto your expected return time with family etc before the alarm is raised. I'm sure you can appreciate but highlighting for viewer's that are inspired to enjoy the storm's because they have all the gear, yet often fail to see the dangers the mountains can bring this time of year. I would suggest anyone, anytime of year, if going out always carry a bivy bag. Also you might not need it, but you might also be able to save a life if you come across someone in distress. Thanks for the vlog and cleary you kept a cool head on the way down, another key to not making mistakes. Hope you have many night's out wild this year, keep safe and hope you get your tent sorted soon!

FairPlay, 👏👏✊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿KTF.

Did you not look at the weather? Don't think you realise how lucky you are not to have become another statistic. It's not difficult to get an extremely accurate forecast from the Mountain Weather met office and its always right. Far to many videos like this popping up on KZfaq. No wonder the mountain rescue feel the need to address it. Not trying to be an arsehole to you but I've been hiking these hills over 39 years mate and I do my homework when it comes to weather, especially so in winter and I can tell you very seriously that you dodged a bullet there. Remember less experienced people will watch this and probably think they can get away with it as well. You're clearly well kitted out and not a fool but I'm not buying for one second you did your due diligence with the weather forecast. 3 free apps for you, Windy App, Mountain forcast App, and the Avalanche forecast App and believe everything they tell you. Stay safe. And buy an axe and crampons.

That wind sounds icy. You don't need cans as they'll keep you cold have a shot of whisky instead.

Brilliant channel jock , very brave there in the mountains , credit to you , all the best , Steg (pensioner) from milngavie.

Brilliant adventure, that’s why we buy Hilleberg tents.

Simple question. Was that the best place to pitch the tent or should you have found somewhere more sheltered from the expected gusting?

Great video. I had similar problems with pegs recently. Thinking of getting some Eastons. Do you think it may have been different if you would have dug out some snow.? I see other extreme campers doing it Thanks for sharing

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for sharing your experiences. I'm sure everyone who's watched it has learned/re-learned/had reinforced, important lessons. We all need to be reminded that Mother Nature can get really nasty & that we need to take all necessary precautions in an effort to mitigate her nasty moods. Strong Gusty Winds are the most difficult of nasty weather we have to deal with, much more so than rain or cold. Yes, I've "Like", Subscribed, & rang the notification bell. I carry a Soto WindMaster fuel canister type of stove. I always begin with a full 4oz canister, thanks to my G Works fuel transfer tool. I have an old wool sock; I cut the toe box off, cut a small hole in the toe end of the sock so I can pull it over the top of the fuel canister & leave the covered valve accessible when I want to use it. The wool sock prevents condensation from freezing on the metal canister when being used by the stove PLUS a sock covered metal canister is much more comfortable when placed underclothing to keep warm or next to your body when inside your sleeping bag.

Great views, great video. Subscribed😊

Saw the views you had and thought Id give it a look.... Nice little film. Shows that bail isnt fail. Sometimes its a win. You did well to make the right choice. Lesson learned too. Ive done two camps since i bought some longer pegs and left them at home so far. Not next time!! Stay safe out there . Subd 👌

if camping in bad weather,ALWAYS carry a bivvy bag as a last resort,its better than bailing out cus you have no other option plus the bivvy bag wont take up much room-always have a plan B bro 😉 oh btw,i subscribed to help your channel grow

Wait 😮 You went camping up a mountain when the whole of the UK was on a severe weather warning ? Was this camp on the day Storm Isha was forecast (Sunday into Monday) ? 😵‍💫

There are better days to camp, wait for them .

I assume you didnt double peg the windward side. Your tent flapped alot but looking at the poles, your tent was having no issues atall till the pegs came out.

Can I ask, is that Haweswater up to smallwater and the Nan Bield Pass?

Lucky guy, walking down in those conditions could have ended very badly. A tent collapsed still offers shelter especially with a warm sleeping bag, yes it won't be the best of nights but you will be safe until daylight. Agree regarding the Easton pegs or should we call them zombie killers, use nothing else, never let me down. Stay safe, atb Bill

Crikey, you must have been so tired back at the car.

Should’ve brought the Soulo 😮

Hi glad you got off safely, is the tent an Anjan 2 ? cheers

You are officially crazy 😆 Red wind warnings ⚠️ and your up a mountain.

check the mountain top weather

Absolutely NOT! It should have been at least 3; but then you got that extra weight when pushing limits.

@#jockoutdoors well done!! for staying safe. Not so well done for forgetting the peggs... I have the really heavy 9inch nails really heavy duty... I was up kinder scout last Monday - Wednesday.. Monday night I didn't need the peggs and cursed myself for carrying nearly a kilo in weight that I didn't need... Tuesday night the winds came in ,,, freezing winds from the north ... fjallraven tents olso give those stumpy little tuff as nail ( literally) peggs.. so my heavy 9inch nails really saved the day... I had the army bivi bag if needed,, so I would probably have stayed the night .. my ski goggles are tinted so working my way down in those conditions would be more dangerous... take care jock, better luck next time

At lease ur safe

At ur safe

Well done

GREAT VID BUT PLS BE MORE PREPARED AS ID LIKE TO CONTINUE WATCHING YOUR VIDS!!!!!

Drinking alcohol while winter camping is just plain stupid.

Can’t think why you didn’t film the tent collapsing and you making your escape. As the young people say, that would have been sick.

Beer is good for you 😉

Read the Beaufort scale and give the click bait hollywood you tube experts a miss, you'll thank someone later😉

delta anchors next time m8. better still just stay indoors. silly going out in those conditions and even sillier trying to get down. makes good watchning but safety first. each to there own though i suppose....

If your spikes were a god send, what masochist sent you the pegs. Well done for still being alive and get yourself a bivvi bag.

… like why????? Omg
