Subbed as your humour is 👌🏻 I used to follow some other wild campers / hikers but they took themselves too seriously and it became a chore to watch.

- know how to pitch, most tents can be pitched really tight and have very little in the way of wind catch surfaces. Needs practice to find out how to best do it. - Don't overpack your sleeping bag. Sleeping bags work by trapping warm air in the fill (insulation), so anything the squashes the fill reduces its ability to trap air and means it is less efficient. Also a can happen with having too tight of a bivy bag. - Get warm outside your sleeping bag, rather than trying to get warm in it. Light Cardio before bed will mean you are generating spare heat that you can put into your sleeping bag rather than doing it by shivering. Don't get sweaty though. - Looser layer. Most insulation works by trapping warm, dry air, which needs air gaps to do that. Baggy woolen bed socks do great in winter.

Aye good tips Tom. A taught pitch is definitely good although a little bit of give is a good thing to avoid too much strain on the seams and allow the tent to have some spring against the wind. Also storing your sleeping bag loose, hanging up preferably out of its storage bag I find creates the most loft and then a good shake to re-Fluff it when at camp 👍 Love my merino base layers, wort every pound, so much better than synthetic which make me feel clammy in the morning. And yes good tip re cardio before getting in bag! I'd love to do some proper winter snow camps up in the highlands this year if I get chance 👍

I can only remember 2 deaths from trees in my time serving and neither were campers, nor any of the serious injuries I attended. Wildfires were a pain and I do remember going to 40 in just one month. I've often wondered if lives are lost when resources were out in the hills... 99 in one hundred people are just out for a good time, the other 1 has had his good time and is returning from burying the body. I couldn't give you figures but I know a fair number of campers are rescued from Dartmoor every year with hypothermia, to my knowledge no deaths. Never get between a mother and calf. Really glad you mentioned CO, I've warned of it before with hot tents becoming more popular. Can't say I'd argue with any of your 'dangers' nor your grading of the risk from any of them.

The risk is lower in hot tents although not zero. Need to ensure flue/spark arrestor is clear and there is adequate ventilation into the tent. Any smoke and Co should go up the chimney. Should being the operative word! I will be looking into an alarm just to put my mind at ease as just got a new stove and hot tent 😁

Have done WHW 4 times, first time was a Failure, Back in 1985 it was the Weather that beat me on Rannock moor, the hard going along Loch Lomond took too long and poor preparation, there was landslides all down the side of ben Lomond and the path was gone completely in some places. Went back in 86 and completed it using the low road along Loch Lomond, my friend took the high road and still I was first at the point were the paths meet. Came back in the 90's to do from North to South, and that had it's own appeal. Finally did it with my husband in 2004 but staying in accommodation and forwarding our packs via the transport service. Midgies not so bothersome that way. Only wish we had Phone camera's in the early days but you U-tubers bring it all back in glorious detail, which I can only thank you for that! Sadly My bones and back dictate that now I watch from an arm chair, please don't overdo the backpack weights and enjoy your walking that much better.

The fear of wild camping mainly exists in your head. Overcome that fear and you open up a whole world of camping possibilities beyond the official and expensive campsites. I've been cycle touring and wild camping for 12 years to date and have never had a problem. I've just returned from a two week tour (in the UK). The secret to stealthy and safe wild camping is to never camp in or near urban areas. I always aim to camp as far away from civilization as possible. Pitch late and strike camp early and leave no trace that you were there. If there's any litter, where I wild camp, I always collect it and dispose of it in the next litter bin I find. That way, I leave the place cleaner than I found it. I've camped in forests and woodland, on rail trails, canal towpaths, on highway roundabouts, under a bridge, in a bird hide, in picnic areas, on cliff tops overlooking the sea. I've never not found anywhere to wild camp. Give it a go.
