- In this overnight adventure, I head up to Mt Charleston for a winter wild camp under a tarp for the first time. It's was a bit of a challenge and learning experience but a cool time! Enjoy!
Loved your setup. That’s the way to cook out in the woods. I hate the wind when I’m outdoors. Cool video 👍
Backpacking With Jason Thanks Jason, I really appreciate it coming from a seasoned camper😎
You’ve got a cool channel buddy, I’ll be checking out some of your vids to get some pointers👍

Glad you enjoyed it Nancy. Cheers!

Hugo Leonardo Olgiati Glad you liked it Hugo. Once you start camping in the wild you get hooked! Have fun out there buddy!
First time for everything. You have a great attitude. My first time watching your videos It was fun
Many thanks and glad you enjoyed the vid Curt!
Happy New Year 👍
You have a ball so fun to watch!!!! Inspired 🎈🎈
I had a great time adventuring out on this one 😃👍
Great video, and great nerves of steel camping by yourself with cougars around!
Thanks buddy! Yeah it’s something to get used for sure!
Nice setup you got there. Thanks for sharing Alex.
mcrb Thanks mate! Glad you liked it!
I love how you show your mistakes and feel like I can totally relate to your experience and skill level. Great video. Being alone in the dark is one of my own fears. It's nice to know I'm not the only one. lol Cheers.
Jeff Green Lol! Glad you liked it. I have to say, it’s a bit less scary sleeping in a tent than under a tarp for me. Being enclosed makes a difference. Thanks for watching the vid! 👍👍
another wonderful spot, for time out...good to know your new gear worked out very well. thanks 4 sharing
gardenia73 Mccready Thank heaven for Black Friday deals, I can definitely go overboard on gear, lol!
Great video... way to get out there and do it!!!
Waypoint Outdoor Adventures Thanks bud, I appreciate it!

Excellent video, keep going and looking forward to the next one!
Michael Sanderson Thanks Michael! I’m happy you enjoyed it 👍👍
You’re having too much fun out there! Enjoyed the video, good job 👏🏽

Hello watching in qarentine
I hear you buddy, been doing a lot of CZcams surfing myself in these times...
Thanks for watching and be safe! Cheers👍👍
Great video nice setup
fog360 Bushcraft Thanks buddy! Great channel as well. I’ve subscribed!
Oh Alex. I was yelling at my screen, 'Your tarps facing the wrong way !!'
I was telling my daughter, 'He aint gonna make it to morning. The winds gonna make sure of that.'😋
Wind was blowing up the hill and essentially making your tarp a sail. If you had the wall facing the opposite, the wind would have been blocked and you would have slept better.
At least you got out and had an adventure from which tou learned several things.
Great video and im now a subscriber. Looking forward to more vids ! 👍
Joel Alexander I know it! I definitely learned a lot of lessons on that adventure. Thanks for the sub, I appreciate it! All the best, cheers!
Great video!
Dean Kaufman Thanks Dean, I appreciate it amigo!
Curious if you were shaken awake by the wind or got cold? There are many tarp configurations that will help with that, however you may need to pack in a dedicated ground sheet, and/or contend with condensation if too enclosed. Either way, I commend your high spirits and willingness to brave the elements!
Eric Logan Hi Eric! I appreciate the follow and comment.
Yup the wind kept waking me up. I stayed warm with my sleep system so that was good. I definitely need to work on my tarp skills, configurations and such because mine are pretty limited, for sure lol...
Hey Alex, I'm enjoying your vidoes, watched a few of yours when you were in the UK, I have the Alocs alcohol burner, it's a great bit of kit for the price, always good to put a bit of alcohol around the rim when it's cold as it will light and bloom up better and don't snuff the flame with the lid with the rubber ring in... use the proper lid. Looked like you were on quite a slope there 😁 done it myself numerous times... looks flat but isn't. Enjoyed this. Lee.
Burton Outdoors Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Thanks for the pointers on the stove. I didn’t know that and makes sense!
Unfortunately the terrain around there was somewhat steep, that was the flattest I could find in between two trees. The camera optics also made it seem a bit worse than it was. As long as I wasn’t tossing and turning it wasn’t too bad, lol.
Just subscribed to your channel as well! Can’t wait to watch some videos!
@@alexonthemountain8343 Hey thanks for the sub, there's a mixed bag on my channel but I'm sure some of the camping ones you may enjoy. Happy Christmas and have a fantastic New Year. Lee
Sounds good!
Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2020!
A very excited voice lol 👍🏼
afg3233 It must have been the altitude 🤣
I get it with the fear of wild cats. When I through hike in Tennessee and Georgia they have wild boars that will charge you! I’ve been lucky so far. In all likelihood you’ll always be fine. Make sure you use a bear canister or hang your food up high
Ed Chapman That’s why I like sleeping in a hammock. Just gives me some peace of mind.
The camping guy I do it every once in a while!
Ed Chapman Thanks for the input! I definitely need to get used to that, lol..
i like U'r accent... n U have so mutch fun... good job Dud

Wafa Nur Tauhida Very kind of you to say buddy! I appreciate it 👍
I love camping and have a lot of fun doing so. Cheers my friend 🤙🤙
Being from England it would be the potential of animals that would faze me.it takes some bottle to camp there.well done mate.
Thanks Graham! I know what you mean bud… Camping in the US, especially out West where there are lots of bears and mountain lions, can make you sweat a bit at times. That’s probably one of the comforts I like the most about camping in the UK. I’m actually planning a trip there within the next month or two and do plenty of wild camping...
Cheers 🍻
@@alexonthemountain8343 hope you enjoy it. The Yorkshire Dale's is a beautiful area and not as busy as the lakes.great videos.
@@grahamarnhem8659 Good to know about the crowds. I’ve driven through it and have always wanted to go back…
Excellent video. I like the tarp setup. Looks like that Nemo sleeping pad works at very cold temperatures. ✌️
AS THE CROW FLIES HIKING Thanks buddy, I really appreciate it! Yup I really liked the sleeping pad, I also forgot to mention that it’s not very noisy, unlike the NeoAir XTherm, which helps if you’re a light sleeper 👍
WOOD BURNING STOVE - Take a look at Firebox Stoves, when considering your next piece of kit. Great product, great accessories, and great costumer service. Love mine! Some awesome videos and testimonials on here of it. Firebox.com Keep getting out there and enjoying Mother Nature!
14:25 I lol'd so hard$ great vid bud.
Thought you had a bigger following ! New sub from me!
Rob Patrick Thanks buddy! I appreciate it 👍👍
I prefer the illusion of security a tent provides. I mean, mountain lions can't operate zippers, right? (No thumbs)
I agree… I’m more and more concerned these days of mountain lions myself, especially where I live now on the Central Coast of California (moved here a year ago). I’ve had two encounters with cougars here this year alone. So far so good, they just ran away and seemed to be wary of me, but still made me nervous as heck. There have been quite a few reports of them recently around here. As for camping, I think they would be less likely to attack someone in a tent than under a tarp. I haven’t hear of cougars attacking tents yet, bears yes though. Black bears are typically not an issue as long as food is stored a ways from camp.
@@alexonthemountain8343 Here in Yakima, WA it's the little things I'd be concerned about crawling over me. Fun idea: Timelapse film cowboy camping and see what comes to visit in the night.
@@icpchad I like the idea!
I have that tarp, it’s great value and I’ve found it to be fully waterproof after using it in some heavy rain.
Stampistuta Good to know thanks! I was wondering about waterproofness... 👍
I also have this tarp and let me tell ya, it's not waterproof after 2 days of rain... found out the hard way when I woke up with a puddle on my sleeping bag (using a hammock) good for a few hours in the rain but nothing serious
Dylan Adkison I did notice it soaking a bit of water last time I used it. I might spray it down waterproofer...
@@alexonthemountain8343 good idea I might do the same! Maybe some seam sealer too
Dylan Adkison 👍👍
Brilliant mate thsts the way the fantastic four camp mate, look us up.

i always think how can you sleep in that cold weather outside...🤔🤔🤔🤔
jecris channel haha, I hear you! There’s something about making it through the night in one piece without turning into an icicle 😬
@@alexonthemountain8343 ahahaha i just cant sleep in that cold without heater inside the house :)

Backpackers pantry, pad thai. HORRIBLE! I had some on a trip and it tasted bad, even my dog wouldn't eat it.
Jim Patterson That’s the one! Never again, lol!
