- čas přidán 6. 09. 2023
- Today, we head off to Kinderscout in the Peak District for an August Bank Holiday Wild camp.
This was my third attempt at wild camping and it threw some new challenges at me!
I tried out some new gear and, for the first time, had a campfire!
This is a lovely day hike if you're feeling fit or break it down with an overnight stay in the woods or by the Mermaids pool.
Thank you for watching... xx

It’s great to watch someone learning their way. It’s much more fun than someone who knows it all. Well done
Thank u kindly
No no no
Never never never cut live branches from trees.
Apart from that I'm loving your videos
Pretty sure that was a dead branch
The drone footage at the beginning was excellent Lilu! You've nailed it now. Great video again 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
You might not have gone where you planned, but it was still an epic camp :)
Thank you!
Lovely video with some great drone shots. Please don’t worry about getting everything right. The only things that matter are your safe and enjoying what your doing ……… x
Enjoying your wild camping videos immensely. As long as you're enjoying what you're doing, you shouldn't give a hoot what other people think. We're all learning, all of the time and this is only your third wild camp. I did my first last week and loved it. Keep going and looking forward to the next one.
Great to hear, you have your first camp under your belt! Happy adventuring!
Excellent video. Hike your own hike as the Americans say and don't worry about anyone else. Take on board constructive advice. Ignore the trolls. I foresee this channel is going to grow exponentially as will your skill and knowledge. Cheers. Ken
Thank u kindly
@@AdventuresWithLilu You're very welcome. Incidentally, can I ask where the name Lilu originates? Cheers. Ken
@kenhenley7599 haha just a childhood nickname ( Lisa is my name) and the "where to now, lilu?" Comes from one of my fave children's books "where to now, Blue?" About a 12 Yr old girl who ran away from home to go on an adventure. lol it's always stuck with me
@@AdventuresWithLilu That's very sweet.
Hiya. Get yourself a decent headlamp. So much more practical than a torch. Great for walking incase you ever need to move quickly after dark. Also get some waterproof socks. It doesn't matter how your boots feel with waterproof socks.
Great video's. Keep it up.
Charlie X 😜
Finding your own way is the best way sometimes. I would look at getting the pack size down first tho lol😃
Definitely!!
Great video. Regularly change my trail due to unforseen things. Enjoy yourself and make your videos. It's more real for us viewers. Great job as always ❤
Another great video., it's all a big learning curf, 😊
If in doubt, launch your drone. A marvellous video. Very happy making. Thank you.
Great determination - thank you - have had many a wet camp but it is all worth it as the endurance pays off
Sod what anyone else thinks! If it works it works - who cares if it’s proper or not! As long as you wake up the next morning, it’s never a serious mistake and it’s part of the fun of wild camping, blazing your own trail. For safety I keep a torch and headlamp for safety but my camp is only lit by a UCO lantern, which kicks out a surprising amount of light for a single candle. Makes it look more cozy. I think for the weight cost, I’d rather just stick a tarp over my tent/bivvy as it’s easier to dry the tarp than the whole tent. Just bought the OEX expedition tarp but now I’ve seen it in videos, the pack size seems huge compared to the cheap tarp I bought off Amazon! Really good video, thanks for sharing! It’s not the destination, it’s the journey! A great experience doesn’t have to end in a particular place, it’s about the fun of being out in the wild!
Keep going, your doing really well, it's a pleasure watching your videos.
The.more wildcamps you do the more experienced you'll become 👍
That looked like a fun camp, Lilu. Glad the wood stove worked with all the wet wood - it's a great luxury item 🔥🔥
Red Brook is a great way up Kinder especially in full winter conditions. Love the spot where you camped. Nowhere near as busy as some of the routes up the hill.
You are correct about silver birch, nature's firelighter but try not to burn any live wood. It just doesn't burn that well.
Loved the drone footage.
Thanks for another great video.
Thank you
Amazing Drone footage nicely done
Thank you kindly
Good for you,the only way to learn your mistakes is to make them, enjoying the watching the journey you are on looking forward to seeing more
Well alright by me. Some people get really an*l about it all, but they'd be like that in life anyway camping or no. I forget there's hills down there. Living on a Fell - good song title for an 80's hair band - I get passing mists and rain clouds almost daily - but no biggie. I'm sweltering at the moment with this heat - fan on all day and night. In summer i mostly use a thin sleeping bag and even just a liner as sleep very hot. To keep boots dry may I suggest a carrier bag and stuff with microfibre towels.
Thank u so much!
It may not be right but as long as it’s right for you that’s all that matters. Love watching your videos the only thing I can comment on is the tarp if I were you I would get at least a 2m x2m But if you can afford to get a 3m x3 m that is what I would get gives you loads of options even to the point of making shelters. More than happy to answer any questions I can I’m no expert myself but if I don’t know an answer I usually know where to find it lol
Very enjoyable and it just shows how unpredictable the weather can be ,don't be put off doing it again .
Thanks! Yeh it was a learning curve 😄
I don’t know, that looked like a pretty epic adventure to me 🎉
Well done Pork looked great.Good wee camp.
Thanks 👍
You are quite right with your attitude towards the people who will tell you your doing it all wrong. Your having fun and learning. Lighting and maintaining a wood fire, either on the ground or in a box is challenging and we will let you in on a secret…even the seasoned YT bushcrafters are bringing some sort of firelighters with them. Cos it’s a long night when the fire doesn’t light😉
Hi new sub here. Only 5 mins into the video & I already know I'm going to really enjoy this video & catching up on your other uploads.
Thank you 😊
Oh wow thank you so much
It was another triumph despite the weather. Excellent as ever ❤
Thank you ❤️
I hate slugs!
thank you for taking us with you, at least you got out and maybe learned a few things so not a loss, i love the fact that you are careful, i'm looking forward to seeing your next trip 🥰
Thanks so much!
I just discovered your channel and enjoying your content. I am an avid hiker in the USA.
Thanks!! And welcome!! 😁
Great vlog, ❤ you should of made a wild fly agaric mushroom tea, ❤ that's when you really get connected with nature.😂😂❤. Shaman style ❤👍👍👍
Hi lilu. Great video and you are doing great too. I would recommend some things. If you had a larger tarp you could set it up so it covers your tent and gives you an admin area. By having the tarp over your tent if it rains only the tarp gets wet you can pack away a dry tent and only have to dry the tarp which will dry very quickly.
Or do away with the tent and use your bivvy bag with the tarp. A 3x3m tarp is great
Mike
Brilliant watch and very brave of you for trying.
Thank you 😊
Hi there, Ive just discovered you. Thoroughly enjoyed your vid and love the honesty you have too! Regardless of experience, you have produced a vid which is entertaining and fun to watch. Look forward to the next adventure! 🙂
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!!
You're having fun, and it works, so you are doing it right. For the midges, I would urge you get a midge head net, and some long fingerless lycra gloves (I think cyclists use them but great for stopping the wee b*stards.) Citronella tea light candles are brilliant for in the tent. You also may want to look at getting a pair of gaiters to help keep boots dry, especially if crossing streams walking through bogs. When packing a wet tent is a good idea to pack the outer in a separate stuff sack, have it easy to get to in the rucsac, that way you can take it out and let it dry a bit every time you stop for a wee strategic cuppa. Excellent video!
Taking one of the smaller gas cannisters would save you some weight and rucksack space. You can even refill from your larger cannister using one of the inexpensive gizmos.
Great that you're out despite the rather grim combo of midges and rain.
Great video. There are a lot of critics on Facebook. Just enjoy and stay safe!
Thanks, will do!
Loving your videos! You're doing great, especially solo. Mistakes are the best way to learn. The process of fine tuning your kit as you grow & learn is a fun part of the process. Best wishes moving forward!!
Thanks so much!
Great vid, thanks😊
Your doing OK it's the best way to learn like your adventure x
Great video keep it up you'll get there 😊
Another great film love the way you come over as an honest person and not as a well seasoned hiker you make mistakes but show great enthusiasm love it keep it up
Hey, we all started somewhere, and the majority of us using second-hand or budget gear, You are doing fine, don't stress about it.
Cheers!
Keep on learning, keep on going, keep on enjoying yourself. You're doing great!
I've done that exact walk many times and pitched where you did, great spot for a camp and back in Hayfield there's a fantastic coffee house called Marmalade which does great food and coffee, the owner is really friendly and nice she saved me from starvation a fee years ago when I forgot cutlery and she gave me some for my camp
Thanks for sharing the awesome video I'm up Kinder tomorrow for a hike and camp
Carry on doing what you do and learning as you go, the point is you enjoy your journey and all that brings along the way. 👍👍👍
Thank you kindly!
lovely video, thanks x
You’re welcome 😊
Great vid thanks!
Gourmet dinner ! Now I'm starving hahaha
I read that if you drink a bottle of whisky you won't know there are midges
🤣🤣🤣
@Adventures with lilu well done !! lovely little camp.. carrying a pack that heavy , 4 miles up a mountain !!! Is an achievement... I camped up at kinda down a cpl of weeks ago and the noise of those planes, when your up there is extraordinary !!.. put dubbing on your boots to improve waterproofness.... carry a cpl of those disposable hand warmers in your first aid kit.. they are so versatile. As soon as you can take your wet boots off ,, pop the hand warmers in and in the morning ,, warm dry boots... the warmers work on contact with air so if you have hardly used them put them in an air tight and they will turn off till next time... put a disposable foil flan case thing under you twig stove and no-one can claim you scorched the earth..... play safe and shine on xxx
Another great video in your usual laid back style 👍.
After getting wet boots in my first forays into wild camping, I splashed out on some waterproof socks, money well spent, so nice to have dry feet all day!.
Looking forward to your next adventure....thank you 👍
Cool vid! ⛺
Thsnks!!
You are doing fantastic for a beginner. It's always better to be safe than sorry. You did wonderful with your little firebox. As long as you are enjoying yourself that's what matters. Stay well and be safe.
Thank you!
Amazing views, have a great time.
Thank you, I will
Go at your own pace and enjoy the learning curve , we're loving learning with you
Thanks!!
Brilliant little adventure there Lilu. Great to see you enjoying yourself and learning as you go. Keep the adventures coming. ATVB from a Brit expat now living in sunny Malaysia 👍🏕🇲🇾
Your doing great, And your having fun .
Thank u
I'm a family man, Deep deep down I am a solitary survivor.
If I'm out walking and I see other human beings I will avoid it if politely possible.
Yes me too, thanks for watching
I really enjoyed your camping content.. Thank you ❤️
Thanks for watching
Great stuff 😊👍
Thanks for the visit
Really enjoying your videos lilu giving me lots of ideas and tips.
Glad you like them!
You did great, all a learning curve, Thanks for taking us all along with you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Always beautiful scenery are you camp. The stream going through it was amazing. You know I don't know that there is a right way to do things just different ways to accomplish it. Stay healthy and dry, Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you!!
The right way of doing things is the way that makes you happy Lilu. Just found you...subbed! x
Thank you!! Welcome! This weekend I'm off on another adventure...cant wait to film it and show you soon 😄
@@AdventuresWithLilu I shall look forward to watching that! I'm catching up on your back catalogue. I love your trousers! I'm buying some of those!
@antonia4722 revolution race? I have 3 pairs all fitting differently so watch the sizing but yes great quality 👌🏻
@@AdventuresWithLiluYep.. Revolution..they look great. Thanks for the info. They look like a good close fit..and free returns! 😊
I love a plan without a plan
Thank you!
Keep doing what ur doing, ur way!
💪⛺️👌🏻
Thank you! Will do!
Another great video! Try out a Thermacell for the midges, they work well.
But what an epic 3 miles, nice camp spot, good food, you slept well and had fun. One thing though be careful spraying insect repellent on your waterproof as some can damage the waterproofness of your jacket. Really nice area great drone shots along the stream.
Ahhh ok thanks for the advice
Love your vlogs ! Excellent content and eagerly await your next go up to Mermaid Pool and the Downfall on Kinder Scout. It's a wonderful place in good weather. God luck Lilu !!
Il head there soon hopefully
Another great video thoroughly enjoyed it again looked fun and dont worry what others think as long as you enjoy yourself we are always learning . Keep it up and look forward to next video
Thanks 👍
loved the video thinking of give it a go myself 👍
Do it!!! Good luck!
Really enjoyed watching your video… One thing I’ve learnt about camping, is there are absolutely no rules and most of it is learnt by trial and error? Hope you do some more videos soon 👍
Yes will do..just back from holiday but lots being planned!!
Don't worry about what the so-called experts think. By the smile on your face, you done very well 👍❤
Thanks!!
Excellent stuff. You are doing fine!
Thank you! Cheers!
As others have said, look into a headlamp as well. Very nice having both hands free and still able to see at night. Even in the house I walk around with an Olight i1r2 light (around $20 here in the US on Amazon, should be cheap there in the UK as well) attached to a tiny carabiner that I clip to a zipper. It's so light in weight, I don't even know it is there while walking around. 😁 It's rechargable only, no batter. Some other mini lights have batteries.
Please do not feel insecure about what you're doing, the nitpicking "pros" whining can go kick rocks. 😉 We are always learning, even the pros don't do EVERYthing perfectly. Anyone with a bit of mental maturity knows that and doesn't have high expectations, especially from someone who is new.
As usual, a great video from you and, again, that music is freaking amazing, especially at the end. Dang girl I love your taste. 😄 \o/
Good video , great image quality and nice use of the Drone ... Thanks.
Many thanks!
Beautiful locations 😊
They are!
exellent vlog
Thanks!
I use a cheap camo tarp for sitting under and extend it over the tent so the tent packs up dry. I use an alloy two pole spreader from Temu each end with some old tent poles I had laying around, the three part steel ones. it’s amazing how you just shake off the rain from the old tarp, it’s 3x3. After years of avoiding. Ready meals, I gave in and brought a ready made meal for just over £5 from the Steak Detective. It’s steak, dumplings and carrots and you just heat up in the packet in boiling water. I have a brilliant meths Swedish Army Stove..I love your videos solely because you are a beginner and that no one else does this.
Thank you for all the info.... its a steep learning curve but having great fun trying 😄
Always remember its your adventure you do it your way.i take citronella incense sticks when the midges are out also smidge repellent is the best ive found also they do midge nets.another tip get a spongi and wipe your tent down its amazing how much weight the water adds on a wer tent.
You are doing really well reminds me of my Marine days on Dartmoor. I allways used a Swedish Trangia meths stove, but we allways find a stove we like. Allways a pleasure to watch your adventures. Stay safe x
Thanks for the tips!
Great video 👍🙂
Thanks for the visit
Great video 👍 I use the foot print for a tent as a tarp. Works just as well 😊 good job getting a fire going in that rain! It can be a nightmare sometimes when everything is wet 😅
Thanks 👍
just watched your video, not seen you before, just subbed, cheers...doing things how you want is right..camp how you feel , others may do their ideas too...theres no rules..lol...
Thanks!!
Hi Lilu, great videos. I've just found you, now binging you channel .I do a little wild camping but more wood craft. One thing you said in this video is that you have taken out, you Bivvy. Personally, I wouldn't do that. You, Bivvy, can save you if something gos peetong with you tends. That said, keep it coming. You'll be challenging Wildbear for views in no time x😂❤
Thank you for the kind words and tips!
If it's working for you then it must be right as long as your having fun just enjoy yourself
Thanks!!
There's no right way or wrong way there is only one way, and that's the way we do thing as individuals, everyone has their own take on things and that's perfectly fine.
Thank u so much!
Great video your doing great
Thank you!
Hi Lilu
I read in Trail magazine a few years back that if you have a shot of Whiskey/Whisky every night the week before you go on a hike it keeps the midges away, something to do with excreting the drink through the pores of you skin that they don't like, I don't know if it works as I've never tried it but I will be trying it next week if the weather keeps warm, even if it doesn't work it's an excuse for a tipple.
Looks like you had a great time again (apart from the midges), great video, stay safe, stay free.
Wow, I thought you did an excellent job....part of the fun is finding your own way to do things, making mistakes along the way as we all do, and having fun whilst doing so. I personally thought you were brilliant and being a novice wild camper with the same approach to things as you, I am very impressed. Keep doing what you are doing and keep those videos coming.....😀
Thank you!
Looks like you had fun. You will find the small gas bottles last a while and save a bit of weight, especially if using a firebox as well
Another great video. Love my Bushbox and often use as a windshield for a spirit burner. I have to say your bag looks really heavy but I suppose doing CZcams you end up carrying extra power banks and filming kit.
I so love your videos, and they are so well edited together. Thank you for another great video. ❤❤
Good posting and great photography. For cold / wet boots; buy some cheap chemical hand warmers and put one into each of your boots over night.
Thanks for the tips!
❤
❤❤❤❤
Very entertaining me duck you did good, you've just proved anyone can have fun out there without breaking the bank x just to add 'is there a right way or a wrong way' ? Who cares It's your way !! And it is ok ! The pork looked amazing by the way
Thank you so much!!
😍
