Video

Thanks mate. The painful thing is that it was totally unexpected, he was fine one minute and gone the next. With my other dogs, they were old and every day I thought it may be their last but Ralph was only 5 yrs old. Its been a torrid couple of weeks I don't mind admitting.

It’s been a long time since I went on a ride so that is the perfect trail to shake out the cobwebs. My Trangia goes everywhere with me. I like a cup of tea lol.

Hi Keanu, The loss of Ralph has hit me really hard, it still feels very raw but its only been two weeks so its expected I suppose. The Anaris is a great tent, I love it. I have owned many tents in my time including Hillebergs but this one ticks all my boxes. I'm really glad you're enjoying yours.

Because the quality isn’t there. That’s why I say it. I get no condensation with the Anaris. I own both tents shown in the video and in my opinion they are both good tents. But the Anaris is far superior. You can feel free to disagree but it’s how I see it after reviewing them both. Maybe you could do a video review.

Thanks Jess. We are completely devastated, he was a big part of our life. He was so young (5) and I always believed we had many years with him ahead. My first wild camp on Saturday without him will be very hard. Thanks for getting in touch. Mark x

@QuakerJones268 I definitely understand it's going to be hard. I hope you're able to try and enjoy your wild camping trip this weekend. The loss dog is never easy. The void they leave in our hearts are pawprint to the happy memories they shared with us.. We have 3 dogs ourselves, so we are sending you all love. You all will be in my thoughts! 🤍 Jess x

@@PaulMessner I need to get out every now and again. Hope you’re well buddy.

@@QuakerJones268 couldn’t be better pal. Thank you

@@Peteablokeoutdoors Cheers, Pete. I’ve not done a wild camping video for ages. I feel there’s just too many folk doing them now so when I go out I concentrate on enjoying myself rather than videoing. This is just a short compilation of a couple of short vids and photo that I took for myself on some new freebie software I got

@@discouts4879 You still took the time to watch it though and for that I’m eternally grateful. You’re one of the good guys.

I’ve used it in windy conditions and never had any issues. It’s not a full mesh inner, only the doors. If the wind comes under the fly I just drop the poles down and peg the fly right to the floor. I only really use it as a three season tent so pegging it right down is not something I do a lot. It’s a cracking tent even when I use it in winter it’s still fine.

thats great news, it seems to catch the wind a lot, is it flappy and noisy in wind

@@FindingTheGoldenThread-nf8yv it can be a bit flappy when it’s windy but no more than my Nalo 2. 👍🏼

Thanks!

It certainly is. We love it here.

Just shy of 10,000 with an average home attendance of 7800 this season.

Hilleberg are expensive but you get what you pay for. Buy cheap and you get what you pay for.

You get a real life xx

The reason it doesn’t have those guylines is because it doesn’t need them because of it’s better design. You’ve obviously tried using one right?

@MarkJonesWildCamping-S41 Nonsense, that tent will struggle in strong winds and will 100% rub off the inner tent. I don't need to own the tent to see what will "clearly" happen.

It’s only ever going to be used for me and my dog so the Nallo 2 suited me. Plus it’s lighter and a smaller pack size. For the camping I do a Black label tent is overkill.

Thanks very much, really appreciate it. Look after yourselves. 👍🏼

I have indeed. It’s my favourite tent. 👍🏼

Hi, thank you so much for your comment and taking the time to watch the video. Yes, we flew into Kiruna and drove about 10km out to a cabin we had booked. It’s such a beautiful area. I can imagine it’s very different in the summer months. I will definitely go back one day. Thanks again, be happy and healthy. Best regards, Mark. 👍🏼

You definitely should, mate. It’s a great way to spend a night.

He loved it. He gets really excited as soon as I start packing the rucksack.

It’s a tidy stove and I don’t regret buying it. I thought it would be difficult to control the heat but it wasn’t that difficult.

I enjoy these quiet stress free camps. I highly recommend it. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

I would normally take and cook fresh food but it was a last minute decision to go and I had the dehydrated one in my box. The aim was to have some chilled out time which I got. The tent is my favourite, so versatile. Thanks for watching. 👍🏼

I love a woodland camp. It’s where I go for a bit of me time. Really relaxing. Thanks for watching, Dave. 👍🏼

That meal was awful, never again. I’m sticking with fresh food or Summit to Eat.

I’ve always leaned towards Trangia but I thought I’d give the Solo stove a go. This one is the Titan. Very impressed with it if I’m honest, Paul. I will definitely use it again. The cereal is from The Fell Store. It’s a new one they are going to produce themselves, I was just trying it out for them. When it’s on the shelves I’ll def buy it. Thanks for watching. 👍🏼

The Nallo 2 is an amazing tent, I used it on my trip to the Arctic in the winter (see vid) its as solid as you like with lots of room. This lake is Ffynnon Llugwy Reservoir. A beautiful spot.

@MarkJonesWildCamping-S41 Ahh thank you for the heads up i know some peeps keep locations to them selfs sometimes, which also isnt a bad thing ether so thank you looks cracking indeed :-)) Yes i watched your artic vid what an absolute epic experience you had and crossed off your list just fantastic 👌 Yep def looking forward to getting the Nallo out, ive a Soulo and just wanted a bit more room and seems perfect and as bombproof as my Soulo. Atb 👍

Yes I am. Did you watch the video? If you have you will understand why I did the comparison 👍🏼

It’s a very handsome face, it’s worth sharing with the world

I’d like to see some of your videos - I’m sure they’re absolutely phenomenal! Better than David Attenborough himself.

@@chrisdodd9121 That’s stretching it a bit, mate.

Thanks mate, I see you did a Great Tommy Sleep Out, good man. I did one too up in the Arctic. A really good cause.

@@QuakerJones268 I seen that to 😂 hopefully will meet and do a good hike in future let me no my man

Thanks, much appreciated. I’ve done it a few times and really enjoy it. It’s good to incorporate new things into wild camping. Thanks for watching.

@@QuakerJones268 no problem - loved the peaceful vibe. My lad is only 5 but he’s got the wildcamping bug and has now done 5. Think kayak could just be the ticket for another ‘Dadventure although the lack of Wainwrights might just put him off 🙈🙈

Yeah we had a blast. It was hard on the upper body and I’m a bit stiff but it was really relaxing. I’ve done it a few times in various places and I love it. This is the first time I’ve “vlog’d” it though. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Cheers, Simon. I’ve done it a few times over the years and really enjoy it. I’d like to have a go up in Scotland though so that maybe on the cards in the future. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Cheers, mate. It’s a great way to have a mini adventure, you’d love it.

I've started using it for my breakfast at home.😄

Adding cheese would def work. The nice thing about this is you can add whatever takes your fancy. I sometimes swap out the ham for some sliced mushrooms.

Looks good Mark. Nice tip 👌👍

@@NoviceWildCamper Definitely worth a try 👍🏼

I could be the next Gordon Ramsay 😁. It was just an idea I had that I thought I should share. 👍🏼

@@QuakerJones268 Ramsay wouldn’t know what to do with powdered egg 😆 I bet you’ve got loads of tips you could share with us newbies!

It tastes really good, as if you’re using fresh eggs. 👍🏼

It was excellent mate, really enjoyed it. I’d go back in a heartbeat. Thanks for watching. 👍🏼

It was fantastic mate. 👍🏼

Thank you. It’s a wonderful place.

Cheers Alex. I fell in love with the place, we’re going back in September. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Cheers, Rob. We had a blast, it was epic. 👍🏼

Cheers mate. Kettle is always ready 👍🏼

Cheers, Ben. Put it on your list of places to go. It’s amazing.

Thanks, we had a blast

Thank you Dave, it was a great experience to share with Dan.
