Wild Camping in a STORM in my Hilleberg Soulo tent

This is our camping video of us wild camping in a storm. Storm Eunice came shortly after Storm Dudley and we took the opportunity to wild camp in a storm and test out all our camping gear. We took every precaution including in-depth planning and taking the new Garmin inReach Mini 2 and lots of winter backpacking gear.
We went hiking up to the summit of Cadair Idris in Snowdonia via the Minffordd Path. We were welcomed by snow and ice and of course the freezing cold strong winds from the storm. After summiting we got the rest of our camping kit from the car and made our way back up the mountain to go camping in a storm.

I used my Hilleberg Soulo tent. This is a true 4 season tent capable of withstanding high winds, rain and storms. It didn't let me down. Camping in heavy rain and camping in strong winds is possible if you've got a decent backpacking tent, pitch your tent in a position with some shelter and peg it down properly and use all the guy lines too.
Please only go wild camping in strong winds if you have the skills, experience and gear to see you through. I would recommend camping in groups if you go wild camping in heavy rain as if some of your backpacking kit fails your friends can help you out.
I took most of my hiking and camping footage when the storm was momentarily easing to assist with audio and visual quality. I have also filtered some of the background rain and wind noise too. However, I can assure you the storm was battering us throughout most parts of both days and certainly the majority of the night. This is a genuine video, not one of those solo 'camping in strong winds' videos where the whole wild camping video is acted out from start to finish.
GPS / Satellite Gear Used:
Garmin inReach Mini 2 - £350 amzn.to/3p2ME8B

I synced my Garmin Instinct 2 watch with Garmin Connect and uploaded the hiking data to my Strava account. On Day 1 we completed a 9.52 mile hike with 4101ft of elevation and 4h 48m of moving time (average 2mph).

Storm camping is dangerous so please don't put yourself or others at risk. If you decide on a storm camp let people know exactly what your plans are. Don't put the lives of the mountain rescue team at risk!
Stay safe and enjoy the outdoors all year long whatever the weather.
Thanks, Andy.

Notes: Please be responsible when hiking and camping in extreme conditions. Thoroughly plan your hike and camp and take all the kit you need for any eventuality. I highly recommend taking on these challenges in groups and always tell people your plans and take communication devices with you. Take care and have fun!

That is some serious wild camping, and quite a lovely dinner to contrast the weather! Good points on the woodland being a substantial risk - as a hammocker looking to try a tent again, the arguments people give about being able to site a hammock more easily than a tent fall flat; a bit of wonky ground under a tent won't kill you, but tree fall will! Much greater risk when hammocking with your placement given you basically have to be amongst trees.

Great video and some sound advice. The further up, windier and the tougher the conditions you want to experience, then the money you need to spend to keep you safe rises too. Practice at the bottom of the hill (or even your garden) with your gear in the sun, wind and rain, then you stand more chance of finding, not only the lens cap for your camera, or bottle opener, but also your way back down... 👍

Cader Idris is probably my favourite hike of the last year. Actually I went twice in the space of a few weeks. First time the weather was bad, with visibility of just a few metres from Llyn Cau up, and I was hiking solo, so I decided to hike just to Llyn Cau and return to the car. That whet my appetite, so the first opportunity I got to go back was just a few weeks later, on a beautifully clear day, following the Minffordd Path circuit. At pretty much every point on the way round there were spectacular views for miles. I ended up taking 1.5hrs longer than expected, simply because I kept stopping to take it all in. I tell you what, though. I have a terrible fear of heights, and that last 20 metres ascent to the trig point took a bit of focus to do, with sheer drops on either side!!! Well done, mate. The Mrs even sat and watched a bit of this viddy with me, a compliment in itself (she usually just shuts the door on me 😆).

@chrishamilton2527 2 жыл бұрын

Hoqus, a few years ago I bought a cloud peak 2 and bought some heavier duty poles to swop out the standard ones. I would peg the fly sheet using longer cords down closer to the ground. It transformed the tent. I had it above the tree line in high winds (60mph) and snow on several occasions - the tent survived exceptionally well with me and my dog. Now I’m able to afford more I’ve got myself a single skin Crux and a zpacks triplex. Both fab tents tho’ very pricey. I would also look at a one of the vango’s as they really offer good sturdy value.

Perhaps you missed the news report about the Ambleside mountain rescue person who had life changing injuries rescuing a wild camper.
