Have you seen the new Ford Capri that's going to be released soon? It's an abomination.

So if you fell down it while waters running down it's just a massive water slide then

Pat is a great guy we can all agree. But the absolutely astounding fact is that he replied to all the 284 comments he received so far (at the time of writing) with proper, well thought out replies mind you. What a true gem of a gentleman this Pat is!

Thanks for a great video

As always a great video Pat! That meal looked delicious! Thanks for sharing your gear and modifications you've made also. Since i don't own a sewing machine I do all my gear repairs with hand stitching. Takes longer but it's definitely strong. I look forward to watching your next wild camping adventure! Cheers!

Hi, Pat Every now and again i rewatch your old videos, absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much and I hope you continue doing what you love.

Has anyone ever put a drone up or down it?

Excellent video , especially at 33:26! really enjoyed it.

Great video as always Pat. Inspired me to ride up there on the bike and bivvy for the night. When was this video recorded? The area is COVERED in ferns now!

Top man pat not far behind in age but my health has turned to shite in last few yrs the big C but there u go

I'm disappointed. I was expecting this is where the Decepticons are hiding?

Just realised you're back! Been missing out and have some catching up to do. Looking forward to seeing more of your excellent videos.

I’m am making a firework rpg

very smart, love your spirit, well done. I like how you are showing that you can have fun without spending a fortune

Home Bargains car park, my now wife used to live in the apartments that were built on the old Thorntons factory site, it was brilliant for the Archer Rd Beer Shop...👍👍👍

Great scenic vlog. Love from India ❤

love your shed,, looks nice and cosy

Have you got a more car camps planned Pat?

My first car was a 1969 white Austin 1300. I loved it !

I love you man and I love your content. I don't know if you need to hear that but, DONT EVER GIVE UP and keep it up. God bless you man

Hey Pat, only discovered your channel recently, absolutely brilliant, just a question, what are the rules on wild camping, can you just find a spot and pitch, or do you have to plan your areas???

A very enjoyable video Pat with plenty of interest - the gear, your modifications (great innovation btw), the camp itself and the cooking. You must have the best wild camp tucker in the country! One question: do you take precautions against ticks - repellant, insecticide sprays etc? It seems they are becoming more of a problem in the UK generally and are abundant up here in Scotland.

Very useful video as usual. I think Patrick could have his own TV show. Much better than most of the crap on TV

Looking forward to your next camp Pat.. TC from Canada 👍🙏🏼

Thanks very much for bringing back some great memories of Kinder and surrounding area. We did this wild camping in the 1970s. One of the trips we did in winter on the top of Kinder was in a plastic bag ,only one night duecto the condensation. My friend Roy and i did it in the snow ,there were no insulation mats then ,we used 12 ,12 inch polystyrene tiles taped together to open into a mat ,very good insulation on the snow.tried the plastic bag twice ,could not overcome the condensation. Better as a bivvy. Thanks again for these memories, im there now on the top of Kinder . We are both from Sutton Coldfield so 1.5 drive and we are there. Also we have done most of the caving up there for many years ,the memories coming back .Knotlowe mjnes ,awesome. We are both over 80 now ,but still do walks up there ,but not so long. Take care everyone. Thanks again for the memories. Roy and John.

So much fun watching this Paddy.

Hi Patrick really enjoyed this wild camp video and weather this summer has been strange not a proper summer weather. Nice little tent and mods I hope work so good. Good that you can mod these tents and get it the way you want. It's given me ideas as I've got a few tents. I have sewing kit and I having sewing machine you can do your own repairs etc. Steak and chips that looked good and it's good to watch you cook these meals and giving me ideas on meals when camping myself. I just hate it when backpack is heavy and getting lighter stuff as I could do with lightweight sleeping mat. I like somethings better than others and it's great you can buy stuff that last a long time. Few items I buy aren't that good too. Take care Pat!

Thanks for all the content and entertainment you provide us all with Patrick. Will we be seeing any tree camps again?

You are a natural born presenter. I am just a southern Nancy but you relax me with your quaint northern accent. If a barmaid down south poured a pint like you do, we would think there is something wrong with the pump! (Btw - how do you stay so skinny drinking all that beer?). The best beers we can offer are Fullers and Youngs. The small Twickenham brewery is quite good. Would be great to get your honest opinion Patrick.

I really enjoyed watching your one day trip to Barcelona - now I'm jealous, I wish I could afford to go on such adventures ! Anyway thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to watching more content from you.

I'm aiming for a camp out and drink out with the lads (we will clean up!!!) and binging your vids to see how good it will be. Thanks for making it seem like a night to remember mate!

Thanks for another nice camp. I was never interested in camping until I started watching yours. I do miss your explores, though. The first video of yours that I saw was Megatron. Nice to hear that your birthday is in May. So is mine, although I'm a bit older (75). Looking forward to your next camp in Derwent Valley. Leave the bowl at home - you'll save lots of weight. 😂

I really (to avoid the word "extremely") appreciate that you eat spaghetti with just a fork! I'll explain to you, why: I was once in Italy for work and was invited to a really good restaurant. Of course, one of the many courses was spaghetti. As I looked around my plate (where vast amounts of cutlery were draped), the very attentive host asked me what I was looking for. When I said that I was looking for a spoon (that's how I learned to do it at home: you turn the fork in a spoon to roll up the spaghetti), I got the answer: "HERE WE DO NOT need a spoon ..." and that was the end of the rest of the business visit - I had behaved in the most embarrassing way without realizing it... And when I was back in Germany at the company, my boss greeted me with the question of what bad thing had happened in Italy... 😱 Now, I can laugh about it, but since then I have never ever eaten spaghetti with the help of a spoon. 😂

Hello old man! (I am allowed to say this because I am 2 years younger than you! 🤣) I share your insights on the topic of "We will all grow old, even if we don't like it" - but ... ... I think it is important to have a "Plan B" for the phase of life in which you will be physically limited. As a student I started with an aquarium - quite special, because I created a real biotope with fish and plants of a certain area that were a perfect match and I had a very lucky hand with it. I enjoyed it a lot. But as the workload increased and the free time available (that is less than "free time") I had to give up this lovely hobby because caring for the plants and fish in a species-appropriate manner takes a lot of time. Even back then (I was only 25 or so) I had the plan: when you get old and frail, you can take up this hobby again. Since then I have looked forward to it and am much less afraid of reaching this stage in life. Until then, of course, I want to experience as much as possible outdoors in nature (hiking, cycling, kayaking) so that I can live off these memories later - without regrets because I did "everything". Yes, of course I could have done this or that and also... but as long as I can say at the end "I experienced (almost) everything!" (100% is never possible...), I have done everything right. And then it's good and I'm satisfied. New activities await: in my case, my aquarium. And ... maybe there is more that I don't know about yet? Exciting... 😊 P.S.: I went hiking in Scotland once (1986) and one morning I was eaten alive by midgets... they had made it INTO my sleeping bag (despite the protection of a Hilleberg tent)... I almost went mad and fled to the top of a hill in the cold morning drizzle (it wasn't even 6 o'clock) because up there was a bit of a wind. It didn't take long before my travel companion followed me... Since then I've known: that's my weak spot - psychologically I can hardly cope with such attacks from mosquitoes/midgets... Fortunately, that was only the experience of one single day. The rest of the holiday was great! Since I was travelling with a school friend and we had a joint budget, we had to do a final calculation: - 1/3 went for bus/train/ferry, - 1/3 for food... - and we simply drank the last third... Cheers to Scottish whisky 🥃and stout! 🍺 🤣

Hey Patrick watching from Australia- enjoying your videos. Wondering what you did before your camping videos - before you “retired” - I hope I am not mistaken but we are similar in age - me 72. It’s great that you do this and have the body fitness to do so , mental strength etc. Well done living in nature every so often. Yes need to keep it as lite as possible especially as we get older - luckily they invent things but I agree to modifying what works. In Australia as I get older it’s the heat and keeping cool as your body doesn’t handle the heat so well. Guess I am heading for a shopping centre retirement with free air-con 🤣🤣 Aussies know what I mean.

What a great camp and food Sir Pat.🫡

Hello Patrick! The thing that bothers me about all tents of this type is the low height. I once had the Hilleberg Akto and when it was stolen I was almost glad that I had to buy a new tent. I'm only an average 1.75 m tall, but I could never sit in the tent entrance without ducking my head (and that's exactly where you want to sit when it's raining and you want to cook in the awning) - that really annoyed me. The rest of the tent was great, if not spectacular. That's why I kept taking it on trips - and always ended up getting annoyed. I then found a Robens tent (the "Kite" (czcams.com/video/EcI4fDNgMCo/video.html), which is unfortunately no longer produced - I could only get hold of it second-hand) that has the crucial 10 cm more height - that's an incredible gain in comfort! And like the Akto, you can pitch it - if you have no other option - with a single peg at each end. (or 1 end tied to the kayak, the other to a tree root) Unfortunately, the tent weighs 2.35 kg, because it has 3 poles and is made of "heavy duty quality" which of course has its advantages. But the weight doesn't matter for my bike or kayak tours. For my hiking tours, I tried the Chinese Lanshan 2 pro - but the single-wall construction has its disadvantages... Weight and pack size are of course great! Now I have the DURSTON X-Mid 2 and I'm delighted: ~1 kg, minimal footprint and 4 pegs are really enough and I always hike with hiking poles anyway. Although this tent now seems ideal to me, I have also "pimped" it, because with 45 years of outdoor experience, I know many small, helpful tricks from many tents [yes, I also had to engage my sewing machine ;-) ] - and it's the little things that ultimately decide whether a tent is "pretty good" or "top notch". Your idea with the clothespins is funny and good; with these clips from the sewing accessories you can optimize this even further: they are super strong, super small, super light, super cheap - and the metal clip is made of stainless steel.

Instead of a bottle you use an acutal piss jug lol thats just too much for me

Good idear patrick not cheap thow

We are all getting old pat not good though keep it going

Very interesting range tour Sir Pat. Nice quiet wid camp to end. Stay safe.

That's a great place to start a walk I think Patrick. I remember going over to Fox House via Limb Valley, when I was a young lad, about 55 years ago, and it was very beautiful, and very peaceful then. There have been some changes since, and Whinfell Quarry Gardens is certainly not what it was. Also Whinfell House, home of the Neal family (of James Neal Tools/Eclipse) fame is no longer a private house, but rather a sort of posh housing estate. The ex-Councillor who was supposed to sort out the private funding for the disastrous World Student Games was given a house there, (replete with swimming pool), along with a very fat salary (and failed to raise a single penny in private funding). I've walked there so many times, and it's a good route on a scorchingly hot day. I still have a Terra Nova tent, had that one for about 30 years! They're good tents, but one of my complaints as a gear-tester back then, (and it is a long time ago), is that they weighed twice what the given weight was! You shot up Limb Valley Pat! 😁It looks like the old ruined farmhouse has gone, and the path looks to have been simplified a bit. Watch out for them cows, they nearly killed a bloke a few years back! 😱 It sounds like you should be designing tents Pat! 🙂 Great video, I'm glad you're as active as ever, and what a feast! 👍

Never noticed the Sheffield Tap when I was there...maybe next time.

Great video pat. You make better looking food out in the wild that I do from home 🤣.

Great Video, thanks

Great mods to your Laser there Pat. I’ve got a similar shelter that I’ve done plenty to mine but really like those D-rings you’ve put on to solve the issue with staking the inner. Luckily my Mrs helps with the sewing as my fingers have no intelligence 😅👍🏼👍🏼 All the best👍🏼

Great video. Your pronunciations made me laugh. Catalan is spoken in Barcelona so that doesn't help. Prat = meadow for example. I hate carrying anything, a bum bag around the waist is the only thing I find comfortable. No room for a tent but ok for my sketching stuff. I don't know how you lug 10 kilos about. Exellent photography in all you vids

Great video Patrick. Was great to talk with you in Dublin.
