Always be nice to your kids, and always remember this, it's them who get to choose which care home you go into when you get to be a nuisance to 'em! I hope the lad grows up to love wild camping as much as you do Damian! I never knew my own dad, according to my birth certificate, he was 'some soldiers'! And that's not far from the truth either, treasure your kids, they aren't kids long mate! About twenty years ago I wild camped in Andalusia in the Alpujjaras mountains and moved around a bit for about ten days or so. It was september time and the nights were really cold, but the night skies were absolutely beautiful, the stars were as clear as could be! In fact you could say they were out of this world, literally! I suppose because of the lack of street lights etc the sky was less contaminated by ambient light than they are today! Anyway, keep going with the vids mate, I enjoy 'em tremendously!
The Fell Wanderer out again on the Fells, with Christopher, beef stew and Smash, Darth Vadar thrown in for good measure!! More tea vicar ! Good on ya Damian !👍
Greetings from doon the road in Durham! I’m fairly new to your channel but what a find! I’ve watched loads of your videos in that short time! This one was a great one, quality time with the son! Memories that will last for ever. And I dare say, what every other parent should be doing, show kids nature and “getting out and doing a bit of wild camping” we all know it makes sense!
Another beauty video lads,been fell wanderer binging lately .don't always comment but the banter between you 2 is mint.keep doing the do people from a smoggie fellow wild camper👍 You know...it makes SENSE.
Brilliant Damian great to see Christopher out with you ..me kids and grandkids can remember wildcamps ive took them on that ive nearly forgot ..great to give them memories for life ...top vid ..top views ..top bloke ..atb ..steve
Thank you Steve, I got Christopher a gopro style camera and he used it the first time on Hallin fell so I hope he keeps it up and gets better than me one day. They grow up so quick and he will be chasing girls soon and might not want to go camping for a while. I hope he keeps the love for the outdoors and when he's older, bring his kids camping as well. ATB, Damian.
Great vid! Am at the lakes most weekends with my son not so much in the tent which i want to get into more but we've got a stealth camper. We do alot of hiking around there and Keswick and its only a couple hours drive from sunderland aswell. The best thing is they'll always remember the good times like that 👍
"these are not the 'wanderers' you're looking for .... move along" - totally cracked me up. looks like a beautiful day out for both of you. and i totally agree... much better being out and about than sitting in front of a pc/ipad/xbox. fresh air, beautiful scenery, fun times - what more could you ask for?
Hello Damian! In the beginning of this vid, I didn't see what was happening exactly, then I got to wondering why seagulls would be there, so I went back to the beginning to see white sailboats instead zipping around! You have interesting film techniques, and I thank you! So. You are a cousin of Tim Robson who often is seen with carlisle195. In the Big scheme of Things, you are my cousin! Carry on. Your saying of: "You know it makes sense" has and is helping me in my endeavors & plans! Thank you.
What a wonderful video. The views were spectacular. Glad to see you out with Christopher. My god, he's growing like a weed. He'll be taking over the channel before long.
Thanks for taking us along with you & Chris. He’s a lucky young man to have a dad that shares some of his adventures! The photography & cinematography was impressive. You made us wait till five minutes from the ending for that cheeky facial expression! Good night, Miss Agnus, the views!!
Great vid , just fun !!!.....Your lad is fair growing...Make all the memories they grow up so quickly....Look forward to the next one ….Cheers from Inverness.
Perfect bud....long crap night shift and "ding", your video turns up...brilliant, and my god your boys getting big. Brilliant video once again bud. Ta much. 👍🏴
enjoyed it Damien , , , good to see you & the young lad on the trail together again , , he's about the right age now to learn wildcamping and enjoy time with , good on ya : - )
I was up there a few weeks ago and found 20 plus tents, toilet roll blowing about and scorch marks from disposable barbecues all over. Some had been there for days. Times are a changing.....
Great stuff with you and your boy Damian , a popular fell due to its easy access . I was pitched opposite side of Ullswater and to the left a bit the other month . atb Dave ..
I've camped on the other side by the lake near Glenridding. Ullswater is one of the nicest places to visit, not comercialised like Windermere. Thanks for watching
Nice one Damien. Looked like you both had a great night. I’ve just bought one of those lidl matts I used it at the weekend and was pleasantly surprised at the quality and the pack size time will tell.
I didn’t seem to struggle getting the air out mate it went back to almost the same pack size and fitted back in the bag. I’m going to use it all the time to see how long it lasts some people saying that the valve fails on them but to me it looked really strong and sturdy maybe they have done an upgrade.
Really enjoyed this video bro, our son is special needs so not really able to take him camping like this although have camped out on the back lawn but bloody cats pee on the tent or climb over it putting holes in it. Anyway all the best
I think flecktarn German camo is more effective than British DPM. I love that tent but Christopher wanted to swap me his Banshee 200 for the Recon one as he's into everything camo at the minute. Thanks for watching, ATB
@@Fell_Wanderer I agree fleccam is better and I tried to get tent in that but were out of stock so settled for muticam, still a great winter tent I found
Thanks Chris, they grow up so quick. One minute they are babies, blink and they are teenagers lol.. so pleased I filmed the memories growing up. Anytime you want to get out or pop along for some craic let me know. ATB
Cracking video Damian amazing views from up there Christopher looked like he was having fun his face when you said it looks like dogfood 😂😂😂 atvb jimmy 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you Jimmy, I got him a gopro style camera and made his first video on that trip. He says the same things as me and does the horns lol.. I just hope he keeps at and gets better than me one day soon, ATB, Damian
@@Fell_Wanderer he will be given you a run for ya money when he starts his CZcams channel 😜😜 I got the new gopro 7 black and a Samsung s10+ to filming now mate love the 7 black TV atvb Jimmy 🤟🤟🤟
Hi mate, you could have just taken the label off the can and cooked it in the can if not enough pots and pans, you know it makes sense... you know it makes sense. Top video loving going through your vids mate. Thumbs up from me 👍
Young Christopher has really grown since his last appearance... Won't be long before he'll be out drinking cider down the park with his mates, if he isn't already. ;o)
Not sure if I'd trust a lidl Matt as if it fails it takes time to glue & can ruin a nights sleep.. The Snugpack looks nice but I prefer something with leg room so I'm sticking to the Dutch hooped biv.. Them little heat shields make all the difference when cooking
The Dutch army bivy is bigger and more breathable, a little heavier but better in many ways. I worry about the LIDL mat getting a leak, used it about 5 times and has been ok. I wont trust using the mat in winter, it will be cold if it gets a leak.
I've wanted to do that fell for ages after seeing you guys there. I just thought parking would be an issue but its so easy to get to and another easy Wainwright under my belt, Thanks for watching.
Closed cell foam sleep mats (the cheap blue ones are an example) are the safest bet, they wont deflate but aren't very comfortable. In winter the last thing you want is hyperthermia and air mattresses can puncture, usually at the worse possible time. A self inflating mat like a Thermarest, even if it deflates will offer some protection from the cold as there is a thin layer of foam in its construction. Air mattresses are more comfortable than self inflating because they are a bit thicker but riskier to use in winter because of the puncture risk. What ever mat you use take with you an emergency space blanket, they take up hardly any room and will help keep you warm if your mat should fail.
I wanna come on a camp with you.just come back from lake District. Wild camped on Windermere..where this lake? U my favourite wild camper. U a funny guy
I got freaked out watching RichPlanet about alien human abduction and mutilation. There are some bigfoot creatures in the US that take people while hiking never to be seen again, possibly eaten. It does worry me sometimes when alone outdoors
I think you have to have to change something in the privacy settings as well as ticking the bell. CZcams is always changing stuff, it does my head in sometimes when things aren't where they last were
Did not know about James Hewitt. Thanks for the insight into the Royal Family. Being a Yank, we sometimes do not get to hear about affairs of the Royals.
Great to see a dad and his son having quality time, not a lot of parents do that. Well done bud
I took my 3 kids wild campin twice or 3 times a year..they dont really camp anymore they love the clubs too much to think bout sleepin in a tent
Always be nice to your kids, and always remember this, it's them who get to choose which care home you go into when you get to be a nuisance to 'em! I hope the lad grows up to love wild camping as much as you do Damian! I never knew my own dad, according to my birth certificate, he was 'some soldiers'!

Hey mate father and son quality times you have this to watch in years to come happy times
Having the video will help keep the memory alive, look forward to tomorow nights wild camp, you know it makes sense
Didn't see that lad of yours staring at a screen once...well done for educating him in the ways of real life, keep him on the right track 👍👍

There will always be people who spoil the countryside
Class as always Damian, great kit the hooped bivi for camping in the Fell’s. good to see you and your son out and about.
Thanks Dean, I love a hooped bivy, small, lightweight and you have a good shelter from the rain as well as being able to lay under the stars.
Liked your supper. I like the meat balls also looks good.
Awesome video ! Quality time,you know it makes sense !
Good to see you lads out and about
Cracking video Damian
nice one, top vid Damian, you know it makes sense :)
Great video mate
Lovely bita kit
My wife's family is from Workington. Believe it or not, I really liked my mother-in-law! :) Wonderful views of the Lake District.
Ticked off Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa too 🦁🦁🦁Good to see you out with the lad to👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

Nice one Damien. Looked like you both had a great night. I’ve just bought one of those lidl matts I used it at the weekend and was pleasantly surprised at the quality and the pack size time will tell.
I like mine, its more comfortable than the prolite but its difficult to deflate. I can't get all the air out, thanks for watching. ATB
I didn’t seem to struggle getting the air out mate it went back to almost the same pack size and fitted back in the bag.
I’m going to use it all the time to see how long it lasts some people saying that the valve fails on them but to me it looked really strong and sturdy maybe they have done an upgrade.
Superb
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN MATE GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN WITH YOUR SON BONDING TIME
Great vid as always... must admit too many people about always bugs me, like a nice quiet spot.
It was too busy for me, probably because its so easy to get there, thanks for watching
Really enjoyed this video bro, our son is special needs so not really able to take him camping like this although have camped out on the back lawn but bloody cats pee on the tent or climb over it putting holes in it. Anyway all the best
Military tip...cleaning your pots use your used tea bags works a treat
Thats a good tip, will keep in mind for the next trip, thanks for watching
Nice vid mate
I was there on Sunday night for a wildcamp before doing Helvellyn yesterday. Still aching today
Wot a great camp bud and ye your right about the recon tent ,I've had to replace one pole all so but still a good little stealth tent,
I think flecktarn German camo is more effective than British DPM. I love that tent but Christopher wanted to swap me his Banshee 200 for the Recon one as he's into everything camo at the minute. Thanks for watching, ATB
@@Fell_Wanderer I agree fleccam is better and I tried to get tent in that but were out of stock so settled for muticam, still a great winter tent I found
Belta that mate and aint Christopher getting big. Nice to see you both out. we will have to catch up soon. atb.
Thanks Chris, they grow up so quick. One minute they are babies, blink and they are teenagers lol.. so pleased I filmed the memories growing up. Anytime you want to get out or pop along for some craic let me know. ATB
Nice to see farther &son bonding wish I had taken time to get my son interested in camping he's 20 odd now and carnt think of eneything worse 👍♠👤

Nice to see you out with the bairn m8. Hope yous are doing canny
We are doing ok and are out a lot but I don't always film. Its nice to have father and son time without the filming and CZcams. ATB, Damian.
Hi mate, you could have just taken the label off the can and cooked it in the can if not enough pots and pans, you know it makes sense... you know it makes sense. Top video loving going through your vids mate. Thumbs up from me 👍
Yes, that would have been a good idea, thanks for watching.
A view like that would make a man feel rich.
Young Christopher has really grown since his last appearance... Won't be long before he'll be out drinking cider down the park with his mates, if he isn't already. ;o)
A friend of mine is doing his first ever wild camp with minimal gear but 48 hours sponsored for charity
thought was going to star singing then lol
Not sure if I'd trust a lidl Matt as if it fails it takes time to glue & can ruin a nights sleep..

Inspired me to go there last wkend! Camped nearby but were freezing as airbed went down. Do the sleep mats work?

Thanks, your comment means a lot. The lake is Ullswater and Hallin fell is 4 miles from Pooley Bridge

yes its in the lake district
Have you watched ‘Missing 411 the hunted’ Damien ?
Something you’ll like 👍
I doubt he'd ever do a solo camp again if he did!
I got freaked out watching RichPlanet about alien human abduction and mutilation. There are some bigfoot creatures in the US that take people while hiking never to be seen again, possibly eaten. It does worry me sometimes when alone outdoors
Meatball marachippy
I'm not getting notifications when you put a new video up bud
Me too, even though bell is ticked
I think you have to have to change something in the privacy settings as well as ticking the bell. CZcams is always changing stuff, it does my head in sometimes when things aren't where they last were
I also meant to say that it was good to see Christopher in your videos. He is growing like a weed. Looks like Prince Harry.
Yes Christopher is looking the spitting image of James Hewitt, errr I mean Prince Charles sorry..
Did not know about James Hewitt. Thanks for the insight into the Royal Family. Being a Yank, we sometimes do not get to hear about affairs of the Royals.
I have seen you eat meat balls in former videos.
