- GREAT END SUMMIT CAMP IN A HAIL STORM
A long walk out In a weather window with looming grey skies. 50mph+ winds and huge hailstones batter our camp at 910m as we keep safe in my Fjallraven Abisko Lite 2 tent wrapped in down. A tough but enjoyable night In the great outdoors.
Leave no trace and stay safe(ish)
All love

www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/TGvote22/
Awwome thanks👊❤️👊❤️👊
You and Of course Alan are just Brilliant.Scott Somerset
Voted you, Mate.
Voted for you and Blu as your the best
You got my vote Al. 😇
Vote for Blue and You Slan
Blue is the best buddy!
😂
There's something about being warm and cozy in your sleeping bag when outside of the tent is the worst weather. ⛈😊
Childhood memories 😬
I just love seeing Blue, all snuggled and safe, as if nothing is going on 😊
🥰 he always just chills and occasionally gives me a wink🥰
Amazing- he trusts his dad!
Rain? Check. High winds? Check. Hail? Check. It's like Mother Nature said, "Oh, look--Al's going camping again. Let's see what we can throw at him this time!" Proper respect for getting through all that and keeping you and Blue safe. Even more respect for keeping a smile on your face while doing it. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us. I don't know how you manage to film while fighting the elements like this, let alone produce the wonderful videos you do every time.
😂 I just get out whenever I can regardless and I’m only pointing a camera and filming what’s there. Thanks Jan as always.
Tortilla chips , chili and double IPA Check! Weather any storm
😂😂😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE headphones. Not the radio kind but the loud wind/sleet/chainsaw type.
maybe a pair for the dog (who gave you a sleepy look in the morning. LOL)
I remember one camping trip with my dad in the 70s when I was 10.
He pitched on a cliff top in glorious weather in Devon on the way down to Cornwall. We had one of the larger family frame tents .
The weather changed in the night and I woke up to a howling wind, torrential rain - and my dad running round outside knocking pegs back in, then running back in and wiping the water running off the frame before running outside again to check the stability of the tent.
Such was the trust I had in my dad, I went back to sleep unconcerned, lol.
Now, watching the conditions you are often camping in, my stomach is churning!
😂 one to remember. I remember similar as a kid
Makes me smile seeing blue just chilling in the tent in those conditions! Just nothing seems to stress him. Just brilliant.
He loves it! 🥰
It's because blue is with his best friend ☺️❤️❤️☺️❤️
i think it is because camping is good for dogs. gets them back into nature where they spent the vast majority of their evolutionary lives. haha. like for us really.
EDIT: For Blue, it is like a big long walk... with a nice shelter for a break in the middle. haha. Well I suppose that is exactly what it is, but... he is in his element... is what I am saying.
Me and husband watch your videos of a evening when we're all cosy and warm. We love the videos and you've always got a smile on your face. no matter what weather throw at you. Keep up good work 👏
Thanks Claire. It’s lovely you can watch together. 😊
Спать надо с пёсиком под боком - обоюдное тепло.
That tent is fantastic in the wind. Even at the wind's full force you could see your breath on camera and your breath was stationary. There was no air shifting through the tent at all. Thus, it was taking the full brunt of the wind and inside although chaotic and shaking, there was no breeze passing through. Nice.
It’s definitely a safe space if set up well👍👍👍
Omg, your so brave , thanks 4 sharing your daring video's,. & pls,keep safe.
I've watched this for like 9 nanoseconds. The love you have for your dog, impenetrable.
Very good. Bet the dog loves these adventures.
Awesome as ever! Well done Al and Blue. Gotta say all your vids are great but my faves are when you do ones like this. Seriously, I don't know anyone else who would cope with these elements, even whilst on a mountain. Tent looked great and thanks for the gear tips 👍😊🏕
Everyone just likes to see me suffer 😂😂😂. I just smile my way through it. Thanks Donna😬
@@BUSHMANandBLUEahh noooo not suffer. You set yourselves a challenge and you go for it. So inspirational 👍😊🏕
A good tent, most would've blown away.
It is inspiring to see you in such harsh conditions with a smile on your face and Blue with not a care in the world! This past summer I got caught in a huge torrential storm with high winds and I cried, lol. I was scared of the trees falling on me and I couldn't see a thing bc my tent is a fortress with a big rainfly and vestibule. I got through it and next storm will be better. We live and learn. Good on you guys for really sticking it out in some tough yet thrilling conditions.
All good experiences. Near trees is always the scary one though that might knock the smile of my face literally 😂
@@BUSHMANandBLUE 😄 i hope not! thanks for the reply!
Love these kind of videos! Love the extreme weather, rain sleet, hail, wind, snow you do the best job of anyone out there. Thank you for all the hard work that you do so that we can enjoy.😊 PS Blue is my favorite dog out there
Cheers Tom. I just get out whenever I can with a camera in hand😬👍
Mad dogs and Englishmen go camp in the midnight gale! Or as you put it .. EPIC!
😂 perfect description
This was a really exciting trip. I thought for sure you were going to get blown away. I don’t think I’ve ever seen wind that strong. Thanks for taking me along… 🙋🏻♀️💕🙏🇺🇸
You need to watch my storm Arwen video from last year in the same place. That was next level😂
Your videos are so well crafted and compelling that they inspire me on a personal level as well as make me feel like I'm right there with you and Blue on your adventures. Wicked weather on this one. Glad you both endured.
I really hope to inspire others to do that little bit more in life. I’m glad you can join me on these adventures 😬
What a trip! Thanks for bringing us with you and Blue.
Look at the size of those hail stones, that’s nuts 😃Awwwww Blue all snuggled up, I always love to see that xx
I’ve experienced way bigger but at that size they definitely hurt!
Totally amazing pal,what you do to entertain and inspire us is incredible.
Nearly as much as you as Elvis😉👊
After watching these videos i find it boring to watch Outdoor Gear reviews channel! Thank goodness for your videos to keep us on the edge of our seats watching! 🥰🇨🇦
😂😂😂 well I’m hoping people feel they are on the adventure with us👍
Love watching your outings in the tent with Blue great fun you must have even in the wind rain snow x
Blue loves it he the star the show man should be cauld bush dog, haha blue didn't need a spoon haha
Superb. Love these extreme weather videos you do. Another great night out in the wild. Keep them coming
Thanks 😊
Nothing like the soothing sounds of near gale storm winds and hail...if you're in a cozy cabin 😀. On a brighter note, it almost looks like you're on another planet near the the end of the video. Surreal yet stunning.
Yes definitely that. A wild but calm place 😬
When my kids were younger we camped it would rain and I loved it just laying there all snug and warm listening to the noise great times love watching you and your lovely dog blue ⛺️🌧️
It’s one of the most therapeutic sounds😬
Don't cry over spilt milk - this got me 🙂. I love this channel.
😂 it’s so true and a great saying.
Love the videos with the high winds. The scenery is so lovely. Very enjoyable
I loove Blue ❤️
You make the best winter wild camping videos , no doubt about it👍
😂 thanks bud I’m sure there will be more to come.
I voted for you both just now from up here in Canada🇨🇦. I really enjoy your videos and have my 12 year old grandson watching now. You always have a wonderful smile no matter the conditions, that's warmer than the fires you start🤗. Thank you so much.🇨🇦
Brilliant! It’s lovely you can watch with your grandson. Get him inspired 😬👊👍
My favorite Sunday routine! Cup of coffee in hand and you two on the screen!
😂simple living
Awesome! Love Blue and the bond that you two share!
Just discovered your channel and enjoying these extreme weather camping videos :) I love how calm your dog is! I'd probably have used a tent peg as a stirring device haha
Welcome mate! I’ve loads of good adventures for you to catch up on in some amazing places👍
just love these videos of you and Blue keep them coming🙃
I'm a new sub and you and Blue are amazing adventurers... thankyou for the great video... gosh you do sum scary storms
Welcome bud and thank you.
Love all your videos particularly the winter ones
Hopefully it will be a good winter😬
Your a top bloke, love your channel. Keep it up. Love to Blue x
🥰🥰 love when blue is nice and warm inside, he’s so cute 🥰🥰
Hi, Al ! That was great fun to watch. You're right, adaptability is key. That skill will stand you in good stead as you age. Adapt and move on !
Definitely mate👍. Always adapt and move on.
Superb epic adventure once again - top marks to you both mate...
Lovely programme.
Great video! Nights like those are the best
Amazing love your dog blue lost my collie in August this year 17 years old man’s best friend 🐕

Great vlog thanks Al, fierce looking conditions but a great outing and camp 🤙🏻
Fierce is a great word for it👌. Thanks 😬
Best content! Keep the great work up !!!
What a relaxing camping vid.
I love the way you're totally buzzing when the weather gets more extreme, another crazy one, but looked awesome 😁
I always have done. I think I feed off the energy from it😬
Brilliant video Al, Blue is amazing. Think my heart rate went up just watching it. Many thanks

It’s a warm up for winter 😉
That tent man! what a wild ride! Quality control, passed :D
Another brilliant video. Was sure the tent was going to rip through the hail. Always inspires me to get, whatever the weather. 😄Thanks Al and Blue.
Thanks Steve. The tent survived well but the hail was harsh👍
Beautiful
You and blue are just amazing absolutely loved this video you two are simply the best . ❤️❤️
Awwwwwww thanks😊
Wow Blu definately is a trail dog he is always leading the way ! Love you new flat spoon defo the way to go ....Those hail stones were something else ❤️
Yes Blue always leads the way. Could be a sled dog😬
What an experience !
The noise levels, wow - if blue can sleep through that then wow.
I need my sleep , so although I love the outdoors - I have to draw a limit somewhere.
Another great video 👍
We both sleep well and in pretty much anything. It was loud at times though😬
I'm enjoying your videos. I love your relationship and care for your dog. It brings back my camping times in the Lake district, You've even got me back using my West Yorkshire accent at times. I'm off back to the Lakes next time I come to England. Thanks for all the survival tips.
Excellent Howard I’m glad I can take you along and remind you of Yorkshire 😉👍👍👍
Not watched it yet I'm saving to watch it in comfort in abit cuz there's nowt like watching someone go through it while you don't 😉 thanku for the effort I'm sure I'll enjoy cheers Al 💚
You were smart to have packed that Fjallraven Abisko Lite 2. Yet another great test of that tent.
Thanks for another great video.
Yes it’s a good tent👍
Another epic video al those hailstones wow they were big no matter what the weather throws at you u still have a big smile on your face just love watching your videos absolutely brilliant can't wait for next one xx
Smiles help everything 😬. Thanks Sandra.
That looked brutal. I was expecting the hail to put holes in your fly sheet they were that big. Glad both Blue and yourself stayed safe. I'm up in Borrowdale for the next few days so might be up there myself.
The hail really hammered down. It was like the BB gun fights as kids😂
Great stuff Al.
Awesome footage of the hailstorm escape to the tent mate 😅💪👌🏻
I bared it as long as I could😂
Amazing
All of your video's are great Al but this is your bread and butter, I love seeing you and Blue out there taking on the elements. Having done a few bikepacking trips myself in some dodgy weather I can fully appreciate what you're dealing with, and the way you both deal with it is fantastic. #no1youtuber
You just have to deal with it otherwise danger kicks in😂. Thanks buddy 👊
Just love watching your videos, pity it's always bad weather though, 😊
I just get out when I can😬
JUST VOTED FOR YOU AND BLUE , LOVE YOUR ADVENTURES. U2 ARE SO AWESOME, PERFECT TEAM...😀
Thanks Dave 👊😬
Brilliant. Bonkers. Informative. Love it.
Sounds like me that😂
Wow Bro!!!! Thanks

Very shay dog 😍😍🐕
ROUGH NIGHT , bet the sleeping bag was nice and cosy listening to the wind , love that .
It’s always nice being snug in yer bag😬
Love your videos keep upload ing from kerala🙌❤
I'm going to start using your first crazy weather camp video of the season to mark the point when Winter officially starts 😂.
Epic video as usual!
😂😂😂 I think it’s coming😂😂😂. Thanks Rach as always 😬
Amazing place
OMG I'm exhausted now 😂I will also be so grateful for every spoon, fork, and knife I use today 😂 Awesome to watch, and thanks for sharing! ❤👍
😂 yes you miss the simple things massively
Great video 👍
Another outrageously good video. Great content. Nice one. Inspiring! Thanks!
James
Thanks James 👊
Strong tent !
Cracking video Allen and Blue there is nothing that fazes you 2 love it 👍💙
Standing on a stage would😂
Love the extreme weather vids. At least you avoided the sleeping mat floating on the icy stream in the tent on this one. Blue , what a great dog👍👍👏👏
😂😂😂 that was a proper tough camp 😬
Luxury! Sure beats a weekend by the fire with a beer watching the tele! Loved it and Blue is amazing. What a softie he is!
😂’luxury’ reminds me of the four Yorkshire men sketch. Definitely worth a watch.
@@BUSHMANandBLUE Aye. Yer right there lad! And if you tell the kids today, they won’t believe yer-now then! Keep em comin!
Love your videos. Yu are so enthusiastic and positive, your love for wild camping just shines like a beacon. I have climbed 85 munros and many other wainwrights and lesser hills and I would really love to try wild camping, your videos have inspired me at 62 to get a tent and try this!..always wanted to wake up on a mountain and get sunrise pics. I'm going to get into it in 2023..started researching tents so any recomendations welcome. Keep the videos coming and stay safe.
You’re already there if you have the experience to get to these places👍. Definitely get some sunrises from a tent 👍👍👍
Great job mate
Brilliant camp Al
I just watch in amazememt.
In army jungle training we were taught to make chopsticks from sticks we got from trees. One bigger stick is great for stirring. Of course, I don't suppose you want to leave the tent to gather sticks.
Your videos weren't as exciting/crazy during our winter (your summer) kinda excited to have a change of season, get some epic crazy weather videos again. Nice work! From Australia
😂 people only want to see me suffer😂
