FREEZING Solo Winter Wild Camp at Red Tarn
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 12. 2021
- Lake District mountain wild camp in the Hilleberg Soulo at Red Tarn below the Helvellyn range at 2370ft.
Drone used is the DJI Mini 2.
A big thanks to the Swedish outdoor clothing company Revolution Race, who contacted me and asked if I would like to try out their Cyclone Rescue jacket and GP Pro trousers. I’ve had them for a couple of months now and really enjoy using them. Stylish and tough, I really like the quality and design of the jacket and trousers. They certainly performed well on this cold and windy trip to the mountains and I'm looking forward to using them again on future trips.
I'm pleased to be able to offer you an exclusive discount code. The code is (only valid for followers who live in Uk and IE) valid from 28/12/21 to 1/1/22. The code gives you a 15% discount off all products, but cannot be combined with any other discount.

It definitely is a ‘slog’. A lovely place to be on your own though my friend to calm the soul. It’s a positive place to make positive life choices.

Cheers Al🙏🏻. Good quote 👍
Hi Dave, set my alarm especially, keep your chin up Dave you mean a lot to a awful lot of people your adventures deserve a Oscar hope your feeling better and stay safe Jim
Big thanks Jim. You’re a star ⭐️ 🙏🏻
Dave, how you stay so chipper and positive in your videos is beyond me when you're having a pretty shit time. It's the reason why we will always tune in and so look forward to seeing the next one. Stay strong pal and really do hope things pick up for you in 2022.
Its funny Andy. When I watch my videos back it feels like I’m watching someone else. I think I just switch into “Solo Summiteer mode”. Making the videos really does help but unfortunately real life takes over soon afterwards. Anyway, big thanks for your support and glad you enjoyed the video 👍🙏🏻
Hi Dave,
Another stunner! Worth the slog up there though,you made me laugh again,almost forgetting your Leki's this time 😂
Look forward to the collaboration with Andy 🦫 should be a gud'un that.
Would love to bump into you on the West Pennine moors someday for a chinwag.
Take care Dave and let's hope next year is better than the last one.
Onwards and upwards M8.
Cheers Mick🙂🙏👍
I always forget something. Especially recently. Head all over the place. Would be great to cross paths 👍. Big thanks for your comments 🙏🏻
I like the hikes and the cinematography but most of all I really like your little chats in the tent or during the walks.
Thanks for the feedback Olga, that’s great. It’s good to know what people like 👍
It's always beautiful with snow on the high peaks. One personal thought about trekking poles...I absolutely hate them and will never use any, no matter what type of terrain. The muscles in your body, especially the legs, need to build strength and cope with all terrains and work with the brain for perfect balance. Using walking sticks or poles makes you rely on them too much, and many of your muscles become weakened due to not being used correctly.
Regarding phone signals, I've always used O2 and found that it has the best and most reliable signal and service in the Lake District and Welsh mountains. Obviously there are pockets of dead space and certain regions where there is zero service no matter what provider you use. Often it is not the service provider, but the quality of the receiver aerial built into your mobile phone that matters the most.
Cheers G 👍
ANOTHER DECENT VID WITH LOADS OF INFO THANKS DAVE👌👍
🙏🏻
I’ve got home at 8pm the last couple of days after spending the day with my poorly 10 yr old son in hospital. Your last couple of camps have been the perfect antidote to a day of worry and exhaustion. Great to see you back Dave, sorry to hear things are tough for you - you are always so positive, and the films are fantastic. All the best mate, and as you say - thank you NHS.
Wow, Matt. Sorry to hear this. Hope your son is doing ok. Best wishes to you guys 🙏🏻
Praying for you bud. Every storm passes. Keep going!
🙏🏻
Hi Dave. I, like many who don't know you personally, am genuinely touched by you're videos. Your enthusiasm for the outdoors and particularly the Lake District are not only thoroughly engaging but are also highly contagious. Clearly you've had a exceptionally challenging year, so this is a simple thank you for your amazing videos and to wish you are happier and healthy 2022. God Bless brother.
Massive thanks for your kind words. Means a lot 🙏🏻
Brilliant as always Dave, then I would say that, I’m probably your biggest fan. Hope you can feel all the tribe pushing you on. Had to laugh you going back for sticks, only because I’m ADHD and often forget stuff🤣. Recommend an OMM chest pod for easy access to small stuff such as map and snacks etc. Carry on mountaineering mate. Big respect.
Massive thanks for your support as always UP 🙏🏻
Great to see you back out Dave, great video as always. Been a few years since I did Helvellyn in Winter but always a good day out. Thanks again for all your uploads, superb quality. ATB - Simon.
Big thanks Simon 🙏🏻
Thanks Dave, really appreciate the quality of your videos and intelligent commentary. All the best to you mate 👍
🙏🏻
Hi there , I'm knew to your channel , it's so obvious how much you mean to so many people and now me too.Best wishes to you and keep making your superb videos , magical drone footage, wish I was there to experience it .Take care and see you soon again
Much appreciated Shane. Thank you 🙏🏻
Excellent as usual, hope all is well 👍🏻
Another great experience shared and enjoyed, thanks for video. Take care of yourself.
So pleased you are back, have love the 3 recent videos and look forward to your future ones. All the best for the new year.
Big thanks Andy 🙏🏻
Well in Dave , another impressive inspirational video . Red Tarn never fails to deliver when it comes to an overnighter in the mountains .
It's none of my business to know what you're going through in your personal life , but I can tell you this , when things go a bit South for me , and they have done recently , I too head to the hills to get what I need . ATB Dave . Neil .
Cheers Neil. Much appreciated 🙏🏻
From Sydney Australia, thank you for showing me your amazing beautiful country. My wife’s family all live in Scotland so one day we hope to visit and tour around your country. I hope things cheer up in your personal life 🥶👍🏻🇦🇺
Many thanks Greg🙏🏻. Glad you enjoyed it and ATB - Dave
You’re an inspiration Dave you make me feel better, great videos keep going mate 👍

Hi dave another classic video and commentary from yourself what a camp pick in serious winter conditions and you relished every minute of it I praise you the new clothing is awesome I will check out the walking trousers looking for a new pair myself the drone footage just brilliant, anyway hopefully 22 will better than 21 for yourself see you soon again next time
Thanks so much Philip. Really appreciate it 🙏🏻
Always park at the Patterdale Hotel when in that area, its so easy!
Just discovered your channel. Binge watching it before bed! Love it.
Haha. Thank you 😊 🙏🏻
Masterpiece my friend, enjoyed it.👌👌
Hi Dave just discovered your channel and its great. You are certainly correct when you describe the route up to Hole in the Wall from Grisedale as a slog. I thought it was just the fact I’m 70 ! Hope your problems resolve themselves mate. All the very best. Paul
Big thanks Paul 🙏🏻
Good channel 🤜🤛 good video🤜🤛 thank you and have good night 🙂
Just subscribed to you channel. We walk in the Lakes regularly, not in the winter though, lovely to see how beautiful it looks in the winter. Thank you for your amazing videos, loving them 😊
Big thanks Melanie 🙏🏻
Hi Dave .another great video.i have been out a few times in the last few weeks but not done a winter camp yet but I can't wait.enjoy your videos.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cheers Andy 😎👍
Another belter mate, stay strong 💪
😍 Ooooh! My favourite peak! I'm not jealous... I'm not jealous... I'm not £&%$*£!& jealous!!!!
🏔😎👍🙏🏻
Music compliments the tranquil scenery of the sleeping giant , helvellyn 🙏
Skyline crisp n blue.
I hope that 2022 is better for you than 2021 sounds like it was.
Hi Dave. Fantastic views. Watched parts several times. The scenery is breathtaking. I will be there in March and October - can’t wait ! Love the snow. Thanks for filming. Take care 👍 I did try the Revolution Race jacket but medium ran more like a larger. Being online not easy to try on just a pain to send stuff back if you need to change sizes.
Nice one Colin. Know what you mean about ordering on line and sizing. Can be difficult 👍Good luck with your trip ATB Dave
Hi Dave - Brilliant camp at Red Tarn. Love your films and it totally feels like I was there! Keep them coming and keep yourself busy. Really sorry to hear you have had a tough time of late and totally get it - have been there myself. One day at a time and keep pushing forward, you are an inspiration with what you do 👍👍
Really appreciate that 🙏🏻
Great video. Glad I’ve found your channel. Give me some motivation to get back out exploring.
Much appreciated Beth 🙏🏻
Another great camp mate, you really are inspiring me to find the confidence to get out in the winter and snow 👍
🙏🏻
Helvellyn in winter epic 🏔🙏🏼 cheers Dave your always a good watch best wishes Simon 🏔🙏🏼
Glad you made it out Dave and took us along with you! Hopefully 2022 will be very kind to you and that you can still find much positivity in your life! Drone shots were awesome! Take care and snowy mountain tops are wished for you! Enjoy! ⛺️🍷👍🦉😎
Really appreciate that Rogar 🙏🏻
The tarn looks absolutely stunning surrounded by snow. Really enjoyed this trip. Gotta make the drive up myself soon! The ultimate outdoor therapy!!
Cheers GD 😎👍
Another great video Dave..it’s nice up at Red Tarn, crazy to think those Fell top assessors go up there every day, irrespective of the weather.
🙏🏻
Stay strong and keep us punters entertained Dave. An occupied mind will remain a healthy one pal…. Keep the Great content coming 👌
Great Video.
This dropped in my inbox at 7:00 just as I was leaving home, damn ! Had to wait nearly 12 hours before I could watch it. Once again a fantastic video with great drone footage. When times are tough you need to escape and I can’t think if a better place. The Lakes are my go to place in the UK, but living 200 miles away it’s not always easy. Keep smiling and enjoying the mountains and you will soon be on the other side. 😀
Thanks so much for the kind words Clive 🙏🏻
Good stuff as usual
Keep your chin up any outdoor activities are good therapy, videos like yours are so good to help people along in rough times I’ve had a rough year and half and have found a lot of videos to be of great help, always looking forward to the next adventure
Really appreciate that. Take care Richard 🙏🏻
Big 👍up
Blimey Dave, you're getting better at doing these videos! I commented on the last one how the beautiful mountains made me cry. With this one I couldn't stop smiling at the pleasure and comfort that you displayed and experienced. Keep going matey! The days are getting longer. Take care, Simon, Somerset.
Big thanks Simon. I replied to you comments 🙏🏻
@@TheSoloSummiteer Yes, thanks for your reply Dave. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure. Take care, Simon.
Superb Dave👊👏
😎👍🙏🏻
Just of 12 hour nights but 1 person I would like to wish happy new year dave for your inspiration video's all the best pal
You’re a star Barry. Big thanks 🙏🏻
Superb video having that place all to yourself must be magical 🙏🙏
As always a great vid.
Regards the signal... Try placing the phone inside a container.. Glass tumbler works and increases bars. May be worth a try with your other gear you take up.
🙏🏻👍
First time watching your channel, thoroughly enjoyed. Really appreciate your tone and way you talk to the camera. Soft, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Been swimming in that tarn many a time, but not in those conditions. Keep up the great work buddy
Thank you for your kind comments Jamie. Means a lot 🙏🏻
I always get a good laugh when you turn the stove on and I think you’re about to start preparing a meal; like a typical wild camper, I’m expecting something dehydrated. Then there’s a brief pause before you whip a sandwich out. Gotta love it! 😁 19:45
Chin up mate, it’s nearly 2022. Cant be worse than ‘21.
😆. Think I was born with a sandwich in my hand. Will probably die with one, too 🥪. Don’t think I comply with conventional norms 😁Cheers Ste - ATB Dave
A lovely calm video, just how I like to feel in the hills. Love the comments about the "young youtubers". Thankfully social media didn't exist when I did the mad stuff as a young'un. At 68yrs old I take things a bit easier now. That said, quite fancy some snow camps after watching your recent stuff. Thanks again. And keep moving forward.
Big thanks Roger 👍🙏🏻
Nice one Dave, just ordered a pair of the GP Pro Trousers using your code so thanks for that. Hope you have a better new year mate 👍
Nice one Adam. Ace pants😎👍. Big thanks 🙏🏻
So beautiful, thanks Dave. Sending lots of strength and positive energy your way 🙌❤️👏✅🇦🇺👍
Much appreciated Max 🙏🏻
Sat at home on New Year’s Eve with covid and I Just came across this page, thought I’d give it a watch and I do not regret it one bit! Class video, subscribed. Happy new year to you and your Family
Big thanks Alex. Really appreciate that 🙏🏻. No family, just me.
@@TheSoloSummiteer all the best to you.🙏🏽 keep up with the videos, I’m new to all this hiking/camping these videos really help
You keep us all going and we love your vids, fully understand these shitty dark early cold mornings to get motivated i have the same problem to roll up on my work place 6 days a week, "new build work sites" (Carpenter & Joiner) Hang in their Pal with your troubles. YOU KEEP ME GOING 100%
🙏🏻
Just found your channel on YT. What a fantastic set of videos. Unfortunately, I injured my leg long term in 2020 and it has more or less brought my adventures to an end, but these have brought back so many happy memories of walking and camping around the Langdales and the other fells. Actually did a wild camp at Red Tarn back in 1998, just a bit along from where you are in the video. Happy days!. Enjoy while you can........you never know when such simple pleasures can be snatched away.
You’re absolutely right Kelvin. I’m certainly not getting any younger. Hope you’re feeling better soon. Really appreciate your comments. Big thanks 🙏🏻
Alright Dave!! Sorry missed the 'launch' yesterday got tied up with 1000 things lol and wanted to make sure I could sit down relaxed and watch your video properly 😀 👍🏻
Ive done exactly that with the parking, parked in somewhere I like an know even if its a couple of miles difference in my route 😆
Did not know about the hotel though letting you do that so THAAAAAAANK YOU!!!!!
Ive got quite a bit of RR gear, absolutely superb I think 👌🏻 2 jackets, 4 different trousers, 2 mid layers and a winter base layer for when at camp 🤣 Havent got a Cyclone Jacket yet though so might have a look 👀👀
Wow!! Those snow capped peaks were so stunning!! So amazing walking up there in the snow ❄
I camped at Red Tarn earlier in the year then got up about 0500 and did the loop, amazing spot and looks even more amazing in the snow!
Incredible aeriel footage Dave 👏🏻
When I was there I couldn't get any signal unless I started walking up the path to Catstye Cam lol I am with '3' and very rarely have signal in the lakes at all, high up or low down. Absolutely useless...
Weather definitely changed in the morning though for sure but awesome views back down.
Great camp and superb video, what a guy 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks mate loved it 😊
ATB buddy... Chris 🏕⛰💚👍🏻
Big thanks Chris. There’s no way I would be recommending anything on my channel that I didn’t genuinely believe was good. Love the RR stuff 😎. As always thanks for your comments and support. Means a lot 🙏🏻
Another fantastic video Dave, your drone footage is wonderful. I'd so love to do a snowy winter wild camp, your videos are definitely inspiring me. Hope you're well and are able to keep getting out to do what you love the best. I always look forward to watching your videos so hope you're able to do plenty more in the new year. Take care of yourself. x
Thanks Alex. Your support means a lot 🙏🏻. Hope you can get out there for a winter camp soon. Do be careful tho and don’t take on too much, too soon 🥶. If you need any help, let me know.
@@TheSoloSummiteer Thanks Dave. I'll be sure to contact you for any advice as I know you're well experienced in wild camping. I wouldn't go anywhere too high up or remote to begin with as I'm a complete novice. x
Another absolutely stunning video Dave. Thanks for all the time and effort you put in to all your videos, they're so good it feels like I'm there living it with you. Keep doing them, it's half hour escape for all of us ! Very best wishes for 22.
Really appreciate that Mark 🙏🏻
The snow capped mountains look brilliant.
That looked like a brilliant place to camp in the snow when no one else is around 👍.
Keep up the good work buddy 🏔️💪💯
Cheers Tony 🙏🏻
Another top film Dave thank you. Stay strong and keep taking "The Summiteer medicine" it works well for us as well. Top man.
Big thanks 🙏🏻
Remember my first Christmas waking alone withough my son. Dreadful, so I am with you Dave, but that was 20 years ago. Well done for beIng proactive.But you know what Dave, it will pass. It will pass.
Much thanks Dave 🙏🏻
Thanks for your video's , ive been overseas for just over 20 years now and apart from fish and chips, the only thing i realy miss about the UK is the stunning countryside .Your videos help remind me of the good bits of the UK :).Hope you have a great new year , i hope 2022 will be a great year for you . Cheers :)
Many thanks Robert 👍
Only just recently started watching you Dave. I absolutely love your videos, I’ve been working in Australia for the last 3 years and have missed the lakes massively, I can’t wait to get back and get back up there, your videos are keeping me going lol. I’m from Leyland so just down the road from you, keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing more.
Nice one Chris. Big thanks 🙏🏻
Another fantastic film. Hang in there Dave, may not seem like it now but all will come good in the end,
Nice one Dave brings back a lot of memories keep up the good work, look after yourself 👍👍
Thanks Burt 🙏🏻
Another belter Dave, rev race gear looks ace. Every chance I'll be investing in some of that gear! Great that you're focusing on getting your videos out, selfishly I know there's loads of us that really look forward to them as they're always full of the things we all love. The scenery, the knowledge, the tent porn and of course.......real life. We can all relate to the need to get into the mountains for that period of solace.
I'm in the mountains of Snowdonia every week so if you ever fancy a drive out I'd be happy to show you a few brilliant spots, some even have 4g on O2 🤣. Conversely if you ever fancy some company up in the lakes I'd be happy to join you up there.......it's on my list of places 🙂
Stay safe and try to stay positive, it's not always easy 😊
Adge.
Really appreciate that Adge. Big thanks for your support 👍🙏🏻
As always Dave another good 'un, for me you are up there with my favourite mountain vloggers - cheers.
Big thanks Tony 🙏🏻
Terrific video Dave, the contrast between the valley and the snow line, the atmosphere of the misty tarn and the oncoming gusts across the water. You captured the camp so well as always. HAPPY NEW YEAR, and many more brews with mountain views in 2022😁 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧👏👏👏.
Really appreciate that Dave 🙏🏻
we're sitting in our camper van watching this, and the previous video at 3 Tarns, the films are really well put together, subscribed and looking forward to seeing more.
That’s lovely. Really appreciate the sub. Glad you’re enjoying the videos. Take care - Dave 🙏🏻
So glad I stumbled on your channel. Thank you for such an incredible vid. Looking forward to binging on the others. Best wishes to you, Dave.
🙏🏻
Feeling a spot of winter camping all of a sudden. Great vids!
😎👍cheers Philip
Nice one Dave 👍 brings back some great memories of my wild camps in this area. Very lucky to have place to yourself! I'm looking to get out once conditions get 🥶 cold and the snow comes back. Forecast looks very mild for the rest of the year. Take care..
Cheers Gary 🙏🏻. Yeah not looking cold for the foreseeable, unfortunately 🙄. ATB - Dave
Your production quality is fantastic! I rarely watch a video without skipping, let alone a 30minute one in one go but I've been binge watching your stuff past few days haha. Can't wait for the next one! Best wishes and I hope you have a good 2022 Dave.
Really appreciate that Mates🙏🏻
Great video, brilliant location for an adventure. Thanks for talking us through your gear, it's always helpful to hear what works with an honest opinion. Thanks.
Big thanks Rachel 🙏🏻
Amazing video!! One day I need to make it over there to camp in the UK. Your videos provide a window into your beautiful country!
Amazing video Dave i could have just watch hours of the panoramic views with the music mate truely inspiring. You seem to be able to call that wind right on cue cue 😆. Thank you for your time in making that video, very enjoyable 👍
Nice one John. Many thanks 🙏🏻
Out of all my current list of channels, yours is my favourite 👍
Wow, big thanks Richard. Means a lot 🙏🏻
Awesome video 👍
Big thanks AA😎👍🙏🏻
Great video 👍 Wildcamping has certainly helped me over the last year. Pleased you decided to get in the car and go, So easy to stay home. All the best mate.
Peter.
🙏🏻
Thanks Dave, a brilliantly shot, informative video, I really enjoyed that!!! 😃👍🏻
Much thanks Ben 🙏🏻
Don’t normally comment as I watch through my tv but thought seeing as you seem to be going through a rough time I’d make the effort to let you know how good your videos are and hopefully put a smile on your face. Just wanted to say i absolutely love your videography and drone stuff. Really makes you want to get out. Keep up the good work bud.
Ps. I always set off and realise I’ve forget something and end up having to walk back to the car, ha
All the best Wes
Big thanks Wes. Really appreciate that🙏🏻. Glad it’s not just me who’s forgetful 🤦🏻♂️
Your production quality is excellent. Videos just get better and better and your such a likeable character. All the best for 2022
Big thanks. I do try 🙏🏻
Absolutely wonderful once again Dave.
You really love these conditions 😃😃
Those winds were weird weren't they, great to be able to see them coming across Red Tarn!!!
At the end of the day, Christmas Day is just one day out of the 365, and its over very quickly. Every other day is a good one too in my book, and when you're out in places like this, it clears your mind. Keep going, keep fighting and keep walking in these wonderful places. And you have a ruddy better year in 2022.
Dave H
Big thanks Dave 🙏🏻
EE have fantastic signal in the mountains. It usually winds people up because I can be in the middle of no where and have 4G
Good to know Cassie 😎👍
Really outstanding Content Dave! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures in such a professional way with us. well done. I really enjoyed watching and so looking forward to your next films, I started to record outdoor-hiking videos my own, so I know how hard it is to make them, thats why I really appreciate the effort you put into your production. Have you ever considered to have a fury friend who could join you on your adventures? All the best for you. Cheers Mario
Big thanks Mario 🙏🏻. I have considered a dog as I adore them. Unfortunately in recent years I seem to have become allergic to them 😞
@@TheSoloSummiteer oh thats sad to hear. FYI, if you still consider to get one, there s a breed called "Labradoodle" for allergic people how want to get one. ;)
Hi Dave great video again you do like the cold weather lol bless you. We are both looking for some updated walking clothing and will take a look at your promotor see what they they have. It was great seeing you do what you obviously love doing and when you where explaining not wanting to get out then when you did and the sun came out it was worth it, we have don that lots times, its a great feeling when it comes together and you really enjoyed getting out, bless you buddy, stay strong make some new resolutions for 2022 we have at least 6 we are planning on completing in 2022. Do a day at a time and b4 you know it you will be back on track feeling great and enjoying life, stay safe see you again soon. we loved coming along on your camp out, michael & Kim nottingham
Thanks guys really appreciate that 🙏🏻
Wow, what a fantastic way to start the day, breakfast watching your video. Love the wind on queue! Another stunning one, well done and thanks, ATB Dave
Much thanks LV 🙏🏻👍
Another awesome video, thankyou for continuing to share your adventures. I love the wild weather and snowy overnighters.
Brilliant Dave, ive walked it many times one of my faves, i never went in winter though, the reason is no one would come with me, i didnt fancy going alone in case of a fall, ( safety first i guess) i think i told you once before theres a plane in Red Tarn, WW2, it hit Stiding edge if my memory serves me right. Anyways great video as always, thanks for your efforts, take care from me here in Canada, Kenny ;-)
Great info there Kenny. Many thanks 😎👍🙏🏻
It's been a long time since I went up past the hole in the wall... Cheers for taking us along Dave. Wishing you a better 2022 mate. ATB
🙏 loved that, top work as ever Dave.
I can only imagine how good it feels just standing there by the water even though it is windy. Completely with you on the parking arrangements for piece of mind. I use both Lebara (Vodafone) and Giffgaff (o2) in a dual sim phone. I often find it pretty good in some remote areas (Devon), although I also end up with nothing at times. Take care.
Nice one Michaela. Big thanks 🙏🏻
Another fantastic video Dave, Red Tarn looked great, stay strong and keep enjoying those mountains 🏔
Big thanks Ravenna 🙏🏻
Amazing video again. Keep them coming! Stay strong bro💪🏻
Nice one Dave, enjoyed that. Let’s hope for some more snow in the near future mate! 🤞🏻
Thanks, man🙏🏻. Aye sick of this rain 🌧 🙄
Your recent videos have been some of the best you’ve produced Dave! Maybe when we’re challenged in someway it boosts the creative in us? Also, dragging oneself of the sofa brings dividends as you alluded to at the beginning of your video! ATB Dave.
I know what you mean SS. Since I started my channel 2yrs ago I feel I’ve struggled to build any momentum. 2020 was the covid year with lockdowns etc. This year I’ve had both health and personal problems with are still ongoing. The amazing support for people like yourself has helped my motivation to keep going with it, even when things are difficult. You guys are a real inspiration to me 🙏🏻
@@TheSoloSummiteer Not sure what you mean by momentum Dave? I’ve got a channel with 52 subscribers and am always perplexed about the randomness of CZcams 😂. Some of my videos I feel ‘deserve’ more views and likes but accept others don’t! I’ve seen some CZcamsrs sell their souls to the devil to generate more subscribers with all sorts of devices to obtain more views and subscribers. I’m not saying this is completely a bad thing but I suppose it comes down to why we produce these things in the first place? I’m always gratified if I get views and the odd positive comment but to be honest, my main reason for producing my videos is because I enjoy the process and sometimes the end result 😂 Another reason is legacy - when I’m dead and gone at least my kids have something to look back on about what their dad got up too 😂 Everyone has their own reasons. What I like about your videos is that they are honest and not motivated by commercialism. I also bet that’s what your followers believe too? So, assuming I’m on the right track Dave, don’t get hung up on momentum but carry on doing what you do best and the other things will follow (see Pat Dickerson’s channel) I often sit on my computer editing a video and think why am I putting in all this effort for 200 views? Is it for others or myself? In the main it’s for myself but hope others will gain some mild enjoyment from viewing my somewhat hopeless attempt at film making ha ha ha!
