Outdoors Inspiration, Shamus McCaffery, sets out for a stormy wild camp in extremely windy Dartmoor weather. With his trusty companion Petra the German Shepherd, he pitches a Hilleberg Soulo and talks us through some windy weather wild camping precautions and the use of head torches for wild camping. He recounts some history and the origins of the infamous Dartmoor Prison. With Nearly four decades of wild camping experience, Shamus shares his skills and knowledge on Dartmoor National Park, where he continues to live and work.

I just wish I found your channel sooner. Keep up the good work, looking forward to watching more of you and your dog.

Great tips and a very robust tent! Nothing like a little wind to enhance your wild camping experience! When I was a kid in the 1960's on Dartmoor, we were warned of any prisoner escape, not so much as to the danger they posed for us, but more for the danger Dartmoor posed for the prisoner! Those bogs, just suck!

Just been recommended this channel. What a great channel it is! I’m over on Exmoor, much less wild than Dartmoor! 😂 All of my wild camping kit is currently in a box in the wardrobe..since my daughter came along it’s just been sedate family camping for the last 3 yrs. I miss wild camping on Dartmoor...maybe time to brush it all of! I used to go to the Dartmoor prison officers bar with my Dad, usually for Dartmoor letterboxing meets, in the late 70’s and 80’s. Petra is a lovely hound, I’ve got a Springer myself. Whilst it’s great to have company when camping, it’s not so great to share a tent with an enthusiastic bog swimming spaniel! 😂

Great video Shamus and Petra. Sound advice ref double guying and making the tent secure then checking it again. You have got to give the tent a fighting chance in conditions like those and as you say let Hilleberg as an experienced tent producer do the rest! I calculate about 5 hours runtime of 600 lumen plus for my overnights (2hrs to allow for walking and pitching the tent, 1 for tent use but I then will switch to a lighter back up torch, and 2hours for an emergency walk out if I have to in the middle of the night). So pleased for the both of you that you are getting out so much.. Tom
@outdoorsinspiration9284
@outdoorsinspiration9284 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Tom - as I explained to another comment, the guying is all about spreading the load to the anchor points. It a peg lifts in soft ground in that wind it can have a serious impact - do double guying spreads that load to 50% on each peg 👍 The wild camping will no doubt have to pause while lock down commences 😊🐶

Hello from Chicago, liked and subbed. Dartmoor was part of my stomping ground during my misspent youth, love that place. I always put long tails on my tent pegs to make it easier to double peg when the wind blows, though I mostly hammock camp these days.

Hi Shamus. No wonder you couldn't message back on Saturday night! Excellent video with not only some fascinating facts about the Prison but I loved the technical explanation on the double pegging. I bet that was a BAS 'top tip' from when you were out in a field party. I also thought you were brave with the chosen exposed location but it's great to have faith in your kit! As for me well I would have applied the first principle of survival (Protection) and would have used those rocks to hide behind! 😂 Anyway, another captivating video. Keep them coming! ATVB Graham

Haha 😂 Evening Graham, yes there is some 'artificiality; in the respect that I picked the most windy exposed spot I could ... But otherwise it would have been a video about some mist and rain 😂 The peg thing is something I di with rope rescue systems to support ta driven stake for a rescue package (ie people) - getting long pegs into snow in Antarctica isn't normally a problem - except once in a real blow, we ended up digging in dead men and all sorts of shenanigans ... It wasn't a good night, one side of the tent was tied to the dog sledge which was tied to the dogs who were tied to a rock 😂😂🐶🐶

Definitely a good test and Great Video. You need the plastic delta pegs. Think 🤔 I mentioned them a few videos back. Love Petra Cam.

@outdoorsinspiration9284 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Michael, thank you 😊 They come highly recommended 👍 but I use this method for many reasons, but essentially it works, it's versatile and only requires a couple of extra pegs which pack well with the existing ones. I'll give delta pegs a whirl one day though...

Watching you channel for the first time from Northern new south Wales, Australia. a very bleak and cold stop to camp mate. You can have it. Subscribed, Fascinated to see your horrible camping conditions. Shepherds are great companions and hiking buddies . Petra is a champ. Your laugh is a nervous one , Good thing that Petra is calm. she would save you if you got lost in the fog. Those 5000 prisoners in Dartmoor must have had thing tough. The prison looks like a stone ice box. I would rather camp in the sun near a beach. The ocean is a balmy 22C at the moment.Beautiful swimming and beach fishing. Good luck to all in the UK and Ireland enduring lockdown. Stay safe !

Cheers for that. On a trip to the UK in my backpacking days I camped in Cornwall in Summer. Which was lovely and sunny. I also hiked The Ring of Kerry a five day walk. Beautiful camping with just a tarp a spirit stove and a down sleeping bag. Some Irish pubs alomg the way for a welcome pint and a hot meal. Weather was very changeable hot one minute, mist and rain around the corner. Glad to learn that you have some sunny camps as well. Safe travels!
