- An incredibly cold camp on Staple Tor in the Fjallraven Abisko Shape 2. Stunning clear night where my nightlapse was ruined by something that knocked my camera over and moved it 3 feet away. Very odd.

Anything to keep you warm isn’t cheating
You have a single walled tent, no heater and the tent is frosty..I say go for anything that keeps you warm!
Hopefully it was a nosy sheep that knocked your camera over!
A good flashlight is always wise to bring when camping especially when alone
Great video and take care 🇨🇦❤️
Thanks sue. The camera was odd as it was knocked then dragged over. Bloody annoying as the nightlapse was going so well and my first clear night in 6 months 🙄🤣 cheers for watching 👍
Another great video - that tent looks the goods. Like it - might have to invest in one. I can't believe how cold it got and so quickly - we just don't have that here unless we're up a mountain in the depths of winter. Normally we boil, not freeze. Thanks for the review on the torches - I'm in the market at the moment after a kid caused "unfortunate incident" with mine. Keep up the good work mate!
Cheers buddy. I love that tent. My fave for winter camping for sure. Could spend any length of time stuck inside with no issues 👌👍
Absolutely gorgeous upload my friend! 👏👏
Thank you 👍
what a gorgeous night to be camping out. I miss frosts.
I net you do down there. Although we don't get many like that. Back to pi$$ing it down at the weekend 🙄
Fair play I would have frozen with a quilt of that temperature rating! Lovely spot for a camp and absolutely cannot fault that tent for space and comfort. Fingers crossed we get some snow at some point.
Love to get a snow camp in before the weather changes. Missed my chance last time 🙄👍
@@NoviceWildCamper still plenty of time. I managed a couple last year, but I'd still like one where it snows overnight and you wake up to a winter wonderland. I'm confident I've got the right gear for any low temps now. Just need time and opportunity!
Can't wait 👍
...cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
Cheers buddy 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper Thank you very mutch... have a nice Weekend.... see you….
You too
@@NoviceWildCamper Thank you very mutch... have a nice Start of the week.... see you….
That was a seriously cold camp.hats off to you braving them freezing temperatures.
ATB Dan 👍 👍 👍 👍
Cheers buddy. Yeah was cold but I loved it. Rather that than bloody rain 🤣
@NoviceWildCamper nothing worst than rain.
Nice bit of kit that fjallraven - very tempted.
I paid £700 for ut but if you look in the comments below a viewer ordered it from Norway for around £500 all in 👍
well that was another great video. It's pretty damn cold, but what the hell. have a great one and I will see you on the next adventure.

Cheers dwayn. Gonna be peeing down from Sunday so not sure when I'm out next. Love a cold camp. 👌
Wow that was some seriously cold temps ! Tent was looking strong nice pitch 👍 thrunite torch was pretty dam impressive for 600 lumens ! Cheers for the gear links as always 🙏
Cheers buddy. I was well impressed with that torch. Be nice if it was a little smaller bjt great none the less. Might be my née go to. I love a long beam. No reason, just do 😂👍
I think the lowreed power torch has more focus beam, I personally like a wide full beam without an halo and over focused spot even if it throws less.
Yeah I get that. I love the more centred throw like a beam on the torch even if it's less useful for general use. Still seems way more powerful than they claim though. Both good torches for different reasons. I've got a beast of a torch coming up soon 👍
Having foot and hand warmers is not cheating it call using your kit to keep warm impressive torches atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Cheers Jimmy. I mist admit having warm feet was a game changer for me. They're always freezing unless it's really hot summer. I was very impressed with the thrunite, awesome little torch 👍
Paisley ninja - the most stylish of the ninjas
Can't beat it 🤣👍
Great stuff
Dartmoor new lighthouse👍👍
Lol
Fyallraven are ace tents. 👍
Yeah I love this tent. My fave even above the x mid. If it was half a kilo lighter it would be my year round go to.
You can also get Vests that are heated the same way. I like the coat your wearing also. I have found in the winter that normal straight butane or propane isnt very effective, a 4 season Iso butane/propane mix does give a noticeable difference in the colder temperatures. Im using one of those portable gas camping stoves, its all i have atm. On the lower settings you do have to watch the flame doesn't blow out, as it happens sometimes. The lighter i will look into. God Bless you.
Cheers buddy. Yeah I've also got a heated jacked and a vest. Tend not to get cold on my body though as my layering system works very well. Just my circulation doesn't so my feet and hands freeze. Atb 👍
I prefer the wider spread without the hotspot....it's all personal preference 😉 btw.....I can only hope to camp in lovely cold weather. Here in Western Australia we were suffering 40 to 43 degrees Celsius last week. I am very envious! 🥰
🤣 it's always greener on the other side. I love frosty cold camps, but we get so few down south as it constantly rains in winter. And then we get half an hour of sun in the summer 🙄😂
ThruNite Catapult Mini V2 looks great and good price sadly Currently unavailable amazon. I don't buy Zerolight as overprice.
I love the Catapult. Fantastic little torch. Link here is in stock

Amazing video Mike! I was due down myself but bottled it… That is a quality tent. Was looking at the Robens one your mates got. Too heavy for me. Will have to save for the shape. Like you I’m tall and want the space. Thanks for sharing the film.
It's defo my fave tent. Most expensive too but I love it and it will last me many years. Won't be swapping this out. 👍
Accidentally ordered one 😳
@jasonkelsey987 oops. Hate it when that happens 🤣 did you get it from taunton leisure? They do interest free as well on most of their expensive gear.
Finland. Including import charges it’s 200 quid cheaper! DHL express 12 quid. Total 544!
If it’s here I’m coming down weekend after next. Just need a ground chair now 😳
Awesome video….. that thrunite has been massive improved from the original catapult mini
Decent isn't it 👍
Is that Dartmoor you're camping on? The tors seem to be a bit of a giveaway. 😉
Yes it was. Thought I'd mentioned it? 🤔😂
Quite handsome in the mask!
That's what she said 😂
@NoviceWildCamper hahahaha😆. Bring her on the next camp. Enjoying the torch porn btw. I have the minicatapult too. Just got the ledlenser hf8r signature yesterday. Just so feature packed! Like an ipad with strong lights.
I think they're making them too bloody complicated nowadays. Trying to outdo each other. Just need either wide spread bright or piercing beam. Or both 👌👍
Clearly the lower lumen torch has a more focused beam, so comparing them based on lumens is pointless. You need to look at lux instead of lumens.
Exactly why I said, it's not a direct competition but an interesting comparison about lumens and if you want focused beam then the thrunite is the one or if you want more spread then the sofirn. 🤷🏼♂️
Ive just started winter wild camping and I take a digital thermometer, mostly so i can show off to friends how tough i am but the lowest I camped at was -1 and was 3 degrees inside the tent. Do you measure temp. inside your tent?
I normally use my sensor blue which is digital and links to your phone with Bluetooth and will monitor the temp throughout the whole night but I took it on my bailed camp last week and as I didn't camp I didn't empty all my gear after and forgot to take the battery out so it was dead this time 🙄
I’ve been looking at the 3FUL stuff, what do you think of the build quality? The night lapse looked great. If you filmed it on a GoPro, what settings did you have it on?👍🏻
3 FUL make some decent gear. Take the Lanshan, one of the most popular tents on the market and thus new bag is great. The early model failed and had some issues but the new one seems good so far. Gopro settings are 4k, wide lense, video format, auto interval, 30 second shutter, no limit duration, high bit rate, 4000k white balance, ISO min and max at 1600, low sharpness and natural colour. Annoying I missed out on half the night with what happened 🙄
@@NoviceWildCamper Thanks for the info. I’ve been looking at the floating cloud 2 and Qidian pro backpack. Yeah, obviously something sniffing around your gear.🧌
@JT52WSB07 probably sheep or pony I reckon
@# Novice Wild Camper are you going to make any more tables???.. I don't want the other ones. That fold down the middle looks annoying.. so I will wait for yours if you are..
Yes mate. Just sent a new batch out to outdoorgearessentials.co.uk 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper ok thanks... that's where I have been looking and checking for them .. olso got my lanshan 2 there and a few other bits..
What are your thoughts on that 3f ul bag?
This new version has been great so far. The last model tore at the waist hence they sent me the new version to test out as its been upgraded in several places. Used it for many months now and fully loaded been no problem 👍👌
@@NoviceWildCamper that’s good to hear, I’m really interested in the 3f ul bags. Thanks. ATB.
I think for the price and weight there's nothing out there that can beat it 👍
Yea definitely looked a cold 1 so did you just use your quilt at those temps?
I had an aegismax Thermo liner as well. First time trying it in real cold weather. Apparently adds 6-8 degrees onto your sleep system 🤷🏼♂️ seemed to work pretty well as I'm a cold sleeper.
@@NoviceWildCamper ok nice 1 I've used my cumulus quilt in winter but had to keep my down jacket and pants on as it's comfort rating of 2 so I could take it down to -3
What mat did you use?
@@NoviceWildCamper I use my thermarest xtherm in winter.ive been down to -10 on that with a winter sleeping bag.but wouldn't do that with just a quilt and down gear
Yeah close to limit. I'd normally take my vango vulcan -12 bag buy just prefer a quilt.
Odd question but how do you stop your phone from dying? Whenever I go wild camping in the cold my batteries drains right down! Last time I put it in my sleeping bag but it still happens 🤔🤔 really enjoyed the video… although rather you than me 😅
Because I'm filming with different cameras I use power banks. My phone stays in my pocket so is always warm but I was using the DJI pocket 3 on this one with extended battery handle and it lasted the whole time filming without. Charging. I'd always recommend taking a power bank as you need a phone at least for emergencies. Got to be safe 👍 cheers for watching though and glad you enjoyed it.
Hand warmers in a foil style lunch box
😂 you and you're bloody lunch boxes 🤣
@@NoviceWildCamperworks tho never had batteries die on me in cold weather
I use a down quilt bag. Bit lighter, smaller and more professional 🤣
Where have you gone camping
Was on Staple Tor dartmoor.
Lovely area not been there in years
