You’re too kind Thom! Absolutely love the Trangia 27. Definitely the most versatile mini kitchen out there. Appreciate you stoping by and taking the time to comment 👍. ATB

@@GoingSoloOutdoors oh I’ll be coming back. I’m Starting on your first video and I’ll be making my way through them over the coming weeks. If you’re every in Cornwall, let me know!

@@thomaxon5481 I didn’t use to talk in my videos so they might not be as interesting but I really appreciate the support!

@@GoingSoloOutdoors I appreciate the videos!

It’s a pretty easy hike as the route I took did not require any scrambles. Just gotta keep moving the legs and you get there eventually 😀! Always nice to be rewarded with a beautiful sunset sky. I’m excited to get the canoe out for a video. Just gotta figure out how I want to attach a camera to the boat. Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend!

Ha,ha, I’ll try telling my legs that!

Very nice video

🙏👍 such a great view from that spot ⛰️

This camp was really nice because it began with rain but ended with an absolutely beautiful evening and morning. I was very lucky with the weather on this one. Thank you again for your wonderful positive comments! Hope you enjoy your weekend!

It’s a beautiful place to hike and camp! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍

Thanks Brian! It’s so much fun seeing that landscape from that perspective!

Thanks! I got lucky that I had the summit to myself when I got to the top. When I went to go find a spot to pitch the tent there were a few different groups that came up and back down but as it was late in the day so everyone had left when soon after. I was fortunate to get good weather. Especially compared to the start of the hike. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Thanks buddy! It’s such a cool place!

Thanks! Great to be back out! ATB

Man what a place to grow up! I will have to add climbers traverse to my list. I have so many places I’d like to see in the Lakes. You could spend a lifetime exploring that place! Thanks for watching and sharing! All the best!

Thanks! One of these trips I’ve gotta find a swimming hole under one to hangout for a bit!

That is a great sauce! At home we will usually make something similar with tahini when we have falafel. Unfortunately this was the only dressing I had on hand. The Lakes District is a really pretty place. I got really lucky with the weather that evening. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. ATB

I bet that cloud inversion was incredible from up there! Thanks for watching and for the kind words! Have a great week! ATB

Thanks! Such a beautiful area to hike the in Lakes. Appreciate you taking the time to comment. ATB

Thanks Mark! Getting variable weather definitely adds to the fun. Especially when you get treated to a nice sunset! ATB buddy!

Thanks. The Lake District is a special place!

Definitely got pretty lucky with that sunset! Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend!

And you, have a great weekend 😊

Thanks man! I was pretty excited that the rain eventually stopped. Original forecast was for rain all day and night so I got really lucky on this one! Almost didn’t even bring the drone. Have a a great weekend!

Thanks Paul! Definitely not a bad spot for a beer🍻. Enjoy your trip!

It’s a really nice route! Always beautiful when Great End comes into view. I haven’t done it in winter but would definitely like to do a snow camp up there! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! ATB

It’s a beautiful place! Thanks for watching!

👍 It was a fun trip!

Absolutely! The Lake District has so many footpaths to different peaks. It’s such a great place to explore! Thanks for watching!

The Lakes are great! So many incredible spots to explore. Hope you have a fun time on your trip! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. ATB

Glad you enjoyed it! It was a really fun trip. I enjoyed the changing conditions on this one. Got a bit of everything! ATB

Thanks! I would absolutely love to take more multiday trips but ever since having kids I just don’t have the opportunity anymore. My children are still pretty young so it’s nearly impossible to get away for longer trips like that anymore. One day though 👍. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment. All the best!

I was pretty thrilled with that spot! Benefit of the small footprint of the Enan I suppose. Yeah if I had know it was going to get a clear afternoon/evening on top of Scafell I would have definitely just kept the waterproofs in my pack. It was quiet a bit cooler at the top with the breeze though but boy was it warm in the beginning. Appreciate the comments as always! ATB

I typically try to go to the more popular place like Snowdon or here midweek when I am less likely to see anyone else. I typically don’t even like to see anyone on the hike. Only saw a couple day hikers after I came down from the summit to setup camp. But after they left I had the place all to myself 😀! After the camp I just got back from in the Lakes, I could really use a sunset like I had on this trip. This last camp was absolutely brutal 😅.

I'm similar. I much prefer going to places where I'm less likely to see people. The weather has not been kind this winter at all! 🙈🌧💨🤣@@GoingSoloOutdoors

Thanks man! Always love taking the drone up in a place like this. Everything just looks so cool! Haha yeah I suppose that meals not for everyone. ATB buddy!

Ini adalah tempat yang indah! Terima kasih telah menonton. Semoga Anda menikmati videonya!

🙏 Thanks! Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the feedback! Last time I was in the Lakes with my family we visited a 5000 year old stone circle. It’s really cool to imagine Neolithic people in this land. Really cool place! Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment! ATB

Thank for the feedback! I will have to go back and watch the video. It’s been a while since I’ve edited this one 👍. Really appreciate you watching. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. ATB

I was very happy with how the evening turned out considering how the hike started. Falafel is a Middle Eastern dish. It’s basically ground chickpeas and spices rolled into a ball a deep fried.

Thanks man! You’re gonna love the Soulo. It’s such a great sturdy tent and it’s really nice having that peace of mind when the weather is less than ideal. As for the Enan, it’s surprisingly light and is very airy compared to the Soulo. You can really feel the air passing through the tent which is great when it’s warmer out. Enjoy your camp! Look forward to seeing how it goes! ATB

@@GoingSoloOutdoors just watching your Cliff camping video… having a windy night in the Enan saying you wish you had bought the Soulo with you 😅 Brilliant !

@@GoodBlokeOutdoors haha yeah that was my first camp with the Enan and I most definitely didn’t expect that crazy weather. I would have been devastated if the tent got destroyed.

Thanks! These were Delta Ground Anchors. As tension is placed on them they dig into the ground. I like to use them at the ends of my tunnel tent since the structure of the tent depends on this tension 👍. Really appreciate you watching. ATB

Enjoy the trip!!

😂👍 I adore my family, but I need these trips! This was a really fun camp and a hike I had been wanting to do for some time. Really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! Hope you have a nice weekend. Actually just uploaded a new video if you 😜👍

@@GoingSoloOutdoors Oh yay :) its 1am here (I'm Australian) but I look forward to watching it tomorrow cheers

👍 The Lake District is a stunning place!

Thanks! On this trip I was using the Trangia 27. It’s like a mini kitchen 👍. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

They must start at a very low altitude... And the latitude helps too..wow

Yeah, I’ve hiked quite a few mountains in the Rockies and Appalachian range growing up. Although they are much higher, for many you start at a much higher elevation. On my trips here in the Lake District and in Snowdonia, the elevation gain ends up being nearly the same as many of those mountain hikes back in the states because here you start at sea level. I do really enjoy that the look of this landscape though. All the contours in the landscape between the mountains are really beautiful 👍. Appreciate the comments. ATB

The Soulo and the Enan are both great but it really depends on what you are looking for. The Enan is a really light 3 season tent that can be used year round as long as you are not expecting a lot of snow. Although it does have a lot of airflow so in the winter it is a bit colder inside. If you are camping in the winter often or potentially really windy conditions, the Soulo is the tent you want. Its incredibly sturdy and freestanding however it is about twice the weight of the Enan. It’s a bit overkill for most people. Hilleberg also makes quite a few other tents so it might be worth just requesting a free catalog and looking at their other tents as well. It’s also a really nice catalog 😃. The jetboil which uses gas is great however you have to purchase the pan separate. The trangia 27 uses alcohol and comes with two bowls, a frypan and a kettle. I call it my little kitchen. Honestly it really boils down to what you prefer. The jetboil is faster and more like cooking on a stove at home but I have always preferred alcohol burners and how silent they are. But you have to be extremely careful with an alcohol stove because if you knock it over while in use you can start a fire. As for the mattress, I use a regular wide Nemo Tensor Insulated sleeping pad. It’s been amazing. Easily my favorite sleeping pad. Some people have experienced air leaks with theirs but I have had mine for years and have never had any issues. Hopefully I covered all your questions! Thanks again for watching my videos. Have a great weekend!

@@GoingSoloOutdoors great, thank you so much for your comprehensive reply. All the best and thank you for your videos. Who knows, maybe see you on the trail 😉

👍 yeah the vestibule on my Enan feels much larger than the Soulo! Even though the Soulo has a slightly larger sleeping space I really don’t notice too much of a difference in the actual footprint of the sleeping area. Where you can feel the difference however is in the headroom as the Enan tapers. I’m typically sitting in the middle of the tent though so I don’t mind. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on another video!

I have a regular wide tensor and there is plenty of room left at the ends. The enan is definitely long enough, but it does taper at the ends to but my gut tells me it would just fit. I have actually been wanting to get another tensor in the long wide myself. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!

👍😀 Have a nice weekend!

Yeah, all the mountains in UK are baby mountains compared to the mountains I would hike back in the states. Especially in the Rockies. Many sitting at 14K ft (4000m +) but regardless of the size of the mountain it’s always fun 👍🏔️. But it’s nice never having to worry about altitude sickness here. Appreciate you commenting on another video. ATB

For the size, weight and space …Yes I think so 👍

I try to only go to popular spots like this on a weekday if I can 👍. Very happy to get the summit all to myself though!

@@GoingSoloOutdoors ah thats a good idea. Im sure it was a blessing to get to enjoy the view in peace.

😂 as the helicopter flew by, I couldn’t resist! Thanks for watching!

@@GoingSoloOutdoors pretty heavy, that's InGen helicopter 😁

😂👍 yeah there were so many rocks this was one of the best spots I could find that had a view. Appreciate the comment!

Definitely nice to not even worry about it and just enjoy it. Especially if you have spare clothing. The only time I am truly careful is in the winter if the temps are forecast to dip below freezing in the evening. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! ATB

My family was in Scotland for a week this autumn. Planning another trip up in January 👍

@@GoingSoloOutdoors awesome...I hope they enjoyed it.

@@3imaginaryboys1972 Definitely. Scotland is incredible! I just wish it wasn’t such a far drive for us.

👍 I always post a flatlay of all my gear over on my instagram @goin.solo before a hike with links to each company. instagram.com/p/CfYSWQ2Kgpz/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= Hopefully that helps. Any questions on specific stuff just let me know! Thanks for watching!

@@GoingSoloOutdoors thanks for the reply! Like many people, I don't want to use Instagram.. gear descriptions and links, in the YT video description creates a better level of interaction with your subscribers. You could make nice review videos of your gear too and have them in a playlist. This is actually what the very successful outdoors channels.. that's one of the reasons for their success in reaching a wide audience. Channels such as TA Outdoors; MCQ Bushcraft, Joe Robinet etc etc.

@@22leggedsasquatch definitely not interested in doing review videos just yet, but I will consider adding a gear list in the future. I really don’t want anyone to think I’m pushing any particular gear on them with affiliated links or anything like that. However I’m happy to give a list and talk about any particular gear and my experience with that gear if anyone is interested. Appreciate the feedback! All the best!

One more question for you. On Instagram I actually use a lot of great gear for my coffee outings in the woods that I haven’t really shown on this channel. I’ve started making little one minute reels of these trips where I cook a small meal or make coffee. Since you don’t use Instagram would you be interested in seeing those short videos here on this channel? I’ve kept this channel strictly overnight long format videos but I’ve thought about using the shorts feature and posting them here as well. Just curious if you’d like seeing that stuff on this channel?

@@GoingSoloOutdoors I liked the quality of the videos..the editing is good too.. that's why i thought to comment. Any good content will help your channel.. short or long. You could also take a peep at those few channels that I mentioned, take their good qualities that you see for inspiration. Some channels (I think too many) are only looking at budget, budget and budget.. put affiliate links in to sell stuff to maximise an income. I prefer the authentic approach, which you have also taken; it resonates more. Quality gear.. quality outdoors experience seen through your eyes. You coukd add your thoughts on the environment that you're filming in.. a philosophical touch.. because we all contemplate when outdoors. I'm every day in the Vienna Woods with my dog..

😂 Compared to the fourteeners I’ve hiked in The Rocky Mountains of Colorado, yeah they can feel more like hills, but I respect them enough to use the formal geologists definition of a mountain 😀. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! ATB

I bet you wouldn't want to fall off it Dick H!
