- BRUTAL BLISS
Enduring some very harsh mountain weather with 50mph+ winds, a windchill of -11 and a good 8 inch of snow. I made the decision to pitch my tent rather than escape the mountain and so glad I did as the wind died as the beauty came alive!

LINKS TO SOME OF THE KIT THAT I USE:
PHDesigns - Kappa Mitts
Primaloft Gold insulated mitt perfect for keeping your hands warm in cold conditions even if they get wet. Idiot loops are always a good idea when windy too. The new version has a wrist strap. I’ll be testing these all winter and I’ll pass my opinions. Thus far great!

PHDesigns - Yukon Down Pullover: K Series
Amazingly warm for just 355g! I love the fact that it’s a pullover so you can join your hands in the pocket to keep warm. It has a typical operating temperature of -15C so perfect for UK winters and even high altitude expeditions. This will definitely be my go to jacket for winter camping with… warm, ultra lightweight and small packsize👌

When you opened the tent to show us the new day, I welled up with tears at how beautiful it was, the fresh snow, the tarn and the mountains revealed after the previous day's whiteout. Stunning and so, so peaceful and still with the sun peaking through the pretty clouds. Thanks so much for taking us along on your adventures. ❄❄❄
Awwwwwwww bless you. I do try my best to capture these moments but I also have my own time to appreciate it too 🥰
Stop lying
@@bigbob6700duhhh!
It was a great night in the Lakes. I love the silence you can get with heavy snow. Although, a waterfall spoilt that during the night where I was. Saturday was absolutely stunning.
Thx allan for taking us along on your amazing adventure .blue is such a gorgeous dog ❤ him
I don't know how you do it.I love your precious doggy friend 😊
I’m in bed with the worst flu I’ve had in years, high temperature and all the crummy symptoms etc etc….. feeling sorry for myself until I discover another wondrous adventure with Alan and Blue. What you put yourself through for the sheer joy of accomplishment over adversity reminds me to suck it up, think positive, that this rubbish feeling is only temporary and tomorrow calm and peace will resume. Thank you dear Al for your continued inspiration, I know without doubt that you have helped me over these past few years to help many of us through the stressful times knowing better times are just around the corner. Thank You 🙏
Paracetamol and water. Followed by loads of sleep. Be well.
@@lrdisco2005 Thank You very much. 😊
Oh dear I hope you have recovered well. Nothing worse than proper flu. You’ll be back at it soon. Thanks Tracy as always.
So inspirational. Thank you.
The snow is gorgeous. It so great seeing you and Blue again out enjoying nature at it's best.
I cant wait for spring to start! I live in finland where this year winter started on october! Only now it slightly started to loose grip! I remember one week in early january where the MEDIAN temperature was -22 celcius... Im done, spring can come.
Swap with me, I love proper winters and snow. I'm in the UK, level with London, to the west and all we've had since October is Rain rain rain, the occasional frosty night and rare bright day, and then back to rain rain rain, like a flipping monsoon. Give me your beautiful Finnish winter. 😉
@@CaroleFrenchFox Beautiful white snow ❄️🌨️ here in the Welsh mountains. A blue-sky day followed by a spectacular ✨ star speckled night. 😊
😂 yes we’ve just had rain for months so a bit of snow is perfect.
@@CaroleFrenchFox well i guess its not so bad in here😅 just to clarify, i still went outside to do hiking, snowshoeing and fat biking.
@@klammi85 sounds great. I am jealous.
One of the best episodes mate. What a scenery. And you and Blue in full potential as always! Terrific! Watched it with my wife for the first time and she also loves your channel. ❤
Stunning scenery and ambience at the tarn. Blue is now ultra- camouflaged with his new rucksack. That tent sure did a great advert for itself. Hot chocolate and coffee again?!Top film Allen. The 🐐 The 🐶 ❤
He really is the perfect winter dog👌. Thanks Mal
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Buy the little animal a coat. do not be stingy
I’ve had to pull a blanket over me just to watch you in all that cold! Down here in the South we’ve not had a hint of snow, just relentless rain, puddle fields and overflowing rivers. Stay safe you two 😊
Yes I’m sick of rain too. This was a refreshing change😬
Tot agree live right on the Solent and my garden is a swamp
I’m down south too ( Eastbourne ) and also sick of the rain and floods 🙄💕
Never leave home without Blue. He makes the world worth staying in.
🥰
@@BUSHMANandBLUEyes that dog is lovely 😍 👍
Another great video ,helps us to escape the daily grind thanks to you and blue mate
Blue is definitely living his best life, definitely getting all the stimulation he needs. My cousin has a dog just like him, I recently looked after her for a week. She is reaching the end of her life now and lived her whole life in a block of flats, a crying shame.
Yes too many dogs don’t get a decent life. Blue is definitely one of the luckiest🥰
Thank you so much Allen and Blue❤❤
It was well worth enduring those brutal winds to be treated by that spectacular view across the glass like tarn. Thanks for sharing Al.
Sometimes its great to just enjoy yourself on the water! You always pick nice days too 😂 zero wind or ripple. Nice video great music n thanks for the parcel you know what im talking about 👍👌
This makes me want to get out there and challenge myself a little, I am 66 so not like you young fellas - still there is life in the old dawg yet! Good on you mate, truly inspiring, and your dog is a true treasure!
Nice to see you and Blue again, love your accent! - the brutality of the weather conditions is not a film!!!! Thank you to Blue to have tested the path for you! I see how Blue is elegant in the way of eating, adorable while, as you say "elated" - We share with you - hurry up to sleep to dry up........thank you for this thriving post. Love to you and Blue.
Thank you so much. Blue is definitely a gentle eater and knows how to carefully take food from your fingers. 🥰
The Lake District is a great place to "hear the silence". Same at Sprinkling Tarn too.
You speak a lot of wise words there, and not stupid. Great sense of humour, combined with awesome photography, plus lovely Blue catching the snow. Beautiful.
That silence is pure life gold👌🥰
BLUE IS BACK !!!!! YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely awesome scenery Al. Great you're getting out with Blue again. Thanks for your vids.😊
A tremendous day out👌
Such a good dog, I took my Labrador to Brimham rocks in November and he surprised me by not wanting to jump over the edges, brilliant video many thanks 🙏 x
I love Brimham. I go weekly!
It just shows that not only do you have to have all the right gear for the conditions, the experience and know the hills like you do.
Yes common sense helps too😉👌
Great adventure, a serene and calming environment, the fingers of contentment wrap closely around your soul.🏕👍😎
It really was👍👍👍
That was so cool watching you and Blue descend. What a well trained dog. Really impressive to see you both working together. Always enjoy your trips.
You do have a way to capture the moment, loving the videos, keep them up.
Just filming what’s there😬
Thank you Allan for all you go through in making your amazing videos , l ❤ them , you & bluey boy 🤗🥰💞💕😘
Thanks ☺️
Another great video,the walk down swirral edge, the snow the peace and tranquility of solitude in the morning at Red Tarn very special times thanks for sharing this with us
It was definitely a special adventure. Thanks John👍👍👍
I think many people would love to go on a trip like that as long as your there to instruct and teach !!
I love to watch Blue in the snow. Our first Border Collie would leap in the air to bite the snow coming out of the snow blower. Our second loved to catch snowballs and even bite the shovel when cleaning the stairs. Our current one loves to roll in the snow like Blue and drinks no water in winter, prefering to eat snow. You have to love them! I live in Ontario where this winter we have had almost no snow and a record warm winter. Great adventure and it gives you so much joy. Looking forward to many more.
Collies are always so special🥰
Thank you Al and blue don’t know if you both are crazy being in them testing conditions but you are definitely both brilliant amazing scenery,thanks Al and blue all the hard work pays off and more great memories for you,you both take care 👍👍
Always worth the effort for memories 😬
I'm so happy to see you have another video here . Our winter in Southern Ontario Canada has been so absent of snow!! I come the East Coast of Canada ,there it always was a great snowy season. Enjoy your time .Thank you once again🇨🇦
It’s been a funny year for weather but it was the El Niño 🤷🏻♂️
I so enjoy your videos, not just for the beautiful scenery and the camps, but also for your bubbly, cheerful personality. You brighten up my day! Thanks so much for sharing.
🥰 awwwwwwww thank you.
Aces. I know I will never be able to go the places you do, but you inspire me to get up everyday and try to get as close as I can. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
Always do what you can as there is beauty everywhere 👊
Enjoyed the adventure Al, was good to see you back in your happy place and good to see the magnificent Blue 👍
I just come back from dartmoor. My appreciation for the effort it takes to film yourself in those conditions just went through the roof.
I attempted to film myslef properly for the first time. Started well, and then the weather came in. I did my best but i now know what its gonna take.
Yes some effort goes in 😂😂😂. You’ll soon pick it up
Wow Al. You could hear your feeling of peace when talking. The reflection on the water from the hills were stunning. Lovely video
I just missed it with the drone. It would have looked even better.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE still awesome
Thank you for the good content. Love seeing blue taking it in his stride . Beautiful scenery. Now then!
Dangerous trip down from the summit but it's always good to test yourself a little and you had krampons and the dog while also using your brain so all good. Tent held up well and the last day was really nice. I'd call that a very successful trip and quite enjoyable to watch. Good stuff:)
Fantastic video 😊 The vista was absolutely breathtaking, I loved the blue hue and yes it looked very eerie 😮 I had a good laugh at Blue trying to catch the snow as you wiped down the tent 😆 Another great adventure from Bushman and Blue ☺️
Quite simply "BRILLIANT" love Blue too 😊
👊
WOW Al,
That still water reflection in the tarn was special - you could use that to give yourself another haircut!
Your snow vids always make me jealous.
Nice mate 👍🏼
Life's simple pleasures, you know how to enjoy them. Great video!! Thank you!!
You're lovely. Your contentment, positivity and enthusiasm are infectious. ❤
☺️thank you I’m glad you appreciate what I’m about
Hi Al. Long time no talky. Up to your old tricks again with Blue I see. Blimey, Im shivering just watching this one. This looks brutal then an ad comes up with a holiday abroad in the sun! I know where I’d rather be and it ain’t up there. Got my Staffy on the sofa next to me. Don’t think he would like it either, but Blue with his coat is much better suited. Another fine mess you got yourself into! Bet you couldn’t wait to get next to the fire. Take care mate and keep em comin!
Wow❤ You do make me smile, Al. You camp in worse conditions than many of us would hike in 😂 AND 55,000 people love to watch 😮 What an inspiring, amazing, adventurous person you (and Blue) are👍
Looks amazing mate. Thanks for bringing us scenes like this & for all the hard graft you do to be able to share it!!
Brilliant Video Al, so good to see some real winter conditions. Really enjoyed this one mate, blue wasn't fazed in anyway as usual 💪
Cheers Chief! Definitely a special night up there!
I have to say this is one brilliant trip and I lived every moment with the two of you. Thank you and I cannot wait for the next adventure.
The scenery is beautiful with all that snow love your videos keep them coming Al xxx
Absolutely stunning. What a beautiful place.
Another great watch from Al and Blue.
Some beautiful footage from an amazing location. The reflection of the mountain in the water looked like a massive sink hole. Stunning. I’m not sure who had the better time, yourself or Blue, but what a fantastic way to spend some time. 👏👏
We both love it in the snow. He’s obsessed with it😂
You and Blue are like a healing medicine for the soul. Thanks for sharing your great adventures with us!
Thanks that’s lovely ☺️
That was ace - as always! Hope you weren't too nithered! Thank you, Al for the perfect way to end Sunday! 😊
As soon as i saw a morning view, i was loving it.. coz i am from India and on December 2023 i went to place like this (Spiti valley or Solan valley) for the first time, it was next level snowfall there -12°C ❤ Loved your video too ❤
Nothing better than waking up to that calm👌
Awesome scenery, excellent video, Blue seemed as happy as you 👍🐾❄
Brilliant video as usual. Keep them coming and just love Blue
Waow, what a film, I was gripped from start to finish. The black and white colours at the tarn along with the low cloud made it look like a film set, with added sound effect of the wind! And the reflection of the mountains in the water in the morning was stunning! Amazing, thank you!
I always feel lucky getting to be part of it all😬
Love watching you and Blue , awesome doggie and you are so positive about everything . Even when the weather is stacked against you smile and get on with it . Thank you .
Always a smile😉😬
YESSSSS ... and the proper outro music too! Setting an epic example as always.
Another wonderful episode- ❤️ the channel. Thank you
Wow. What stunning scenery. How your tent is still standing is beyond me.
So pleased you had a calm, clear day to drop your tent in!
Cracking video, Al . Great to see the star of the show back out in his element, keeping you safe ..Thanks for sharing your adventures.
What an amazing dog Blue is, and the scenery is stunning..
Al - as the old song goes 'What a difference a day makes' stunning morning there! And it's nice to see Blue's cameraman out and about again :)
Love your stuff. Thanks for the time sir!!
What a fantastic dog Blue is. I really look forward to your videos Allen.
The noisy silence came all the way to me. Please enjoy it for all of us, please, please......Winter scene for those whose interior life is rich enough to pass through without the rest of it......we share dear Bushman and Blue!Thank you (if you only knew how much this post came at the right time THANK YOU!)
Mega love the snow winter camps
That morning by Red Tarn with all the silence of the soft snow,
So fantastic to be there, I'm down south so don't get to see that. Brilliant channel.
Well thanks for joining me and at least you got a taste of it👍
Awesome video Al. Great spot alongside that Tarn with the sound of silence.
Awesome Blue as always❤😊
Your videos are just getting better and better. You're good for my mental health. Thank you. I mean it. Thank you.
That’s awesome mate I’m glad I can assist. Keep smiling.

great to see you and the beautiful blue love your vids
Awesome camp out, another great vid!
Good to see Blue out again... and you of course, Al 🤣
Well done! Beautiful scenery. What a super dog Blue is!
Fantastic as always!
Amazing how responsive blue is to your commands! Top training you must have done for him and it pays in these types of scenarios, can’t have him running off and getting silly or out! Lovely video again mate!
The control makes everything so much easier and safer up there 👍👍👍
Great video mate. Love hiking and camping in the snow 💪
Love your channel,and love that beautiful blue,what you do is amazing,I watch everything you put out. I live through you and blue,the mountains are beautiful,be careful,and safe!!!!!!!
You have some of the best adventure content on CZcams. Love your adventures!
Thanks mate. I just film what’s there and talk rubbish😂
Love your mate videos they are brilliant make you want to up sticks and go and the ultimate camping holiday
Really enjoyed this video!
Your tent looks so cozy. Love your content.
Absolutely stunning! What a place! Great photography and surreal atmosphere. .. Not normally much of a dog person, but Blue really is gorgeous!
Yes he’s a flirt and woos many 😂
Just stunning. The beauty of the tranquil landscape is such a privilege to experience. Your appreciation of it - and your adventurous spirit - is so very endearing....makes me want to get out again (despite only just back from a solo hiking/camping trip!). Lovely video. Thanks for sharing and hope you both thawed out once home! :)
You obviously get it then 😉
I'm from Northumberland lived in Egypt 6 years & I love your videos ...
I know I've said it once and I'll say it again.. it was you and Blue that inspired myself and Lilly (my dog) to try wild camping.
We've got our first one of the year next Saturday, we can't wait!
I hope it went well mate👍👍👍
Now that's my kind of campsite, right there! Perfect.
Some cracking winter conditions right there Al! Nice time to hit Helvellyn as well given the footfall it otherwise receives. Had the same experience lately with the gloves also, never had a pair of leather mountaineering gloves but hoping they offer that little bit extra resistance to the moisture. Anyway all there best - BR
Yes it was a quiet night on the mountain just how I like it😬
Yeah a new snow video with u and Blue!!! No Snow in Bklyn this Winter, so Ithank u that I can go on a journey with u and the bee u tee ful Blue❤
Thanks for joining us😬
wow.. the scenery!
Wow! I enjoy your words of wisdom.
Never had coffee and hot chocolate together, must give that a go 👍. Always love your snowy adventures with Blue 😊
Fantastic as always Al & Blue ❤😊😊
🥰
Amazing camp, and the view well im lost for words.
Back in the snowy Lakes, Al. Love it.
Beautiful just beautiful thank you 😊
