Conditions, superb. Equipment, superb. Attitude, superb.
Big thanks George 🙏🏻
Fantastic video again. Thank you for the time and effort you put into making and editing these
Glad you enjoyed it. Much appreciated 🙏🏻
Man, you gear is top notch. The top layer jacket and shell are doing a fantastic job at protecting your core. Of course, your hilleberg saves your life in those conditions. Great camp.
Nice one. Many thanks 🙏🏻
Best sequel since Godfather II. A great watch, many thanks Dave 👍
Haha 😁. Nice one Matt 😎👍
Great video Dave one of your toughest I would say especially on very low supplies couldn’t believe how deep the snow was. 👍👍
Aye. Was a tough one. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB 😎👍
Pretty intense night out there Dave. I like the way you explain what you're doing with regards tent setup and takedown. Very useful advice for less experienced folk.
Many thanks Feargus. Just trying to help if I can 🙏🏻
Great post Solo! My friends and will be doing The Lake District......in the summer, brrrrr brave man.
Love & respect brother. 🙏
Hope they have a great trip. Big thanks 🙏🏻
Well what can I say I’ve been watching your channel for about 4 years now I think and I really enjoy everything you put into them and advice for anyone wishing to get out there top job 👍🏻
Big thanks Dave 🙏🏻
Just amazing that @ 2400ft your weather and views are what I have to hike to at 10,250 at home. I have been out 3 times this winter and have loved every time. Best part of winter hiking high? No humans! :o) Just peace and quite!
Wow. Cool. Glad you enjoyed it. Where is home, the US 🇺🇸? 🙏🏻
Brilliant watching this, amazing adventure, glad you made it and kept safe
🙏🏻
Perhaps your best back to back videos ever, which is saying a lot as your standard is so high. Your work is greatly appreciated - please keep it going.
Really appreciate that David. Very best wishes 🙏🏻
Thank you man, another great video!
Really appreciate this one, especially since I just sold my Nammatj 2 GT and bought the Allak 2. Great to see that it's just as solid as the Nammatj 💪👏🌨🌬🌪👍
Cheers John. I absolutely love my Allak ⛺️⛰️👌🏻👍
Brilliant video Dave 😊. I’m always amazed how easy you make it look in such challenging conditions - true testament to your knowledge and experience. Thanks for sharing 😊👍🏼
Much appreciated Craig. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB 🙏🏻
Really enjoyed this two parter, I’ve walked around this area quite a few times, but I don’t think I would do it in winter, I would be scared of falling down a deep hole under the ice! As you know, it can be very boggy, but definitely a wild and lonely part of the Lake District! Watching this made be turn the heating up😂 All the best, stay safe and warm!
Haha. Know what you mean Alex. Was a cold one for sure 🥶. ATB
Wow 🤩 the views on that route! I really need to get to that section of the Lakes this year. Thanks for sharing the experience with us! ❤
Hey cheers Anne. I’ve done plenty of videos around there so check them out and get something planned. It does get quite busy in the summer with people attracted to the beautiful pools. Glad you enjoyed it 😃👍
Thanks Dave for part 2 fantastic video again, thanks for the great views only time I'd see them in them conditions, bit to sketchy for me them conditions, could get use to these 2 parters, great determination never give up attitude 👍
Cheers Mark. Yeah, it was a tough one for sure. Glad you enjoyed it and very best wishes 🙏🏻
Really loved this one Dave while sitting warmly round my log burner. 🙂
Nice one Bernard. Sounds cosy 👍. ATB
a wonderful epic adventure. Dave i have come to the conclusion that you are the luckiest youtuber. you camp out in winter and only get 30mph winds. other youtubers are sat in their tents shouting at camera about the wind speed approaching mach 1 and when the gusts go over mach 1, you hear the sonic boom when the wind hits the tent. you have a knack of just getting the best of the weather. top marks, great video, almost feels we are there with you.
Haha. Brilliant Gary. So lucky to avoid those 100mph winds and collapsing tents 🤣👍. ATB
Dave video filming of scenery always pleasure watch and camping content. 😊
Another awesome post. Can't think of a better way to pass a few hours sat in the winter sunshine
Nice one Gaz. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB 👍
Excellent CZcamsr. 10/10
Wow, thanks James 🙏🏻
Really enjoy your videos Dave, the locations, camera work, music and helpful advice. You’re also such a genuine and down to earth fella to go with it. I am from Morecambe so need to get to the Lake District more often with it being a stones throw away. It’s such a beautiful place.
Much appreciated Iain. Yeah, you really should get up there. ATB
Do you ever get bored ? .......What ! LMAO.You can't beat the sound of silence.
Hat's off to you Dave, Some great tips for inexperienced backpackers in your vid.
Also great epic drone shots and views M8.
Well done M8ty. YOD😊
Michael.
🥾🏕🙏
Big thanks Michael 🙏🏻
Brilliant vid Dave, loved the two part version 👍🏻 absolutely wild/gorgeous conditions
Big thanks Ste 🙏🏻
It may have been windy, but wow it was beautiful.
🙏🏻
Of many great videos from you, this was one of the most valuable. Tons of learning for those less experienced, like myself. Tnx a million!
Much appreciated Ralf. Glad it was helpful. Big thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Serious respect.. quality... probs not too many places you can go in UK and not see anyone for 2days... awesome..❤
Absolutely John. Especially the Lake District. Big thanks 🙏🏻
I would of been frightened to death of losing my tent in that wind. Great part 2 Dave thanks for sharing.
Amazing stuff yet again Dave and so cool to see your experience put to the test in some demanding conditions. Stunning views from Eskdale, love it. Looking forward to the next one 💪
Cheers Johnathan. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB 👍
Great use of music in those first few minutes. Fabulous scenery yet again, and some pretty confrontational weather to deal with there. Your film making is really good, Dave. The Allak seems to work really well for you, and it took a fair bit of snow there! Loving those snow stakes BTW. ATB, James.
Nice one James. Much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB
You always manage to make me smile. Thank you for that. 😊
And who btw needs Rubbish Fell aka Mt. Everest when you can have THIS all to yourself ?
You’re very welcome 😁👍🙏🏻
Thanks
Really appreciate that 🙏🏻
Brilliant Dave absolutely awesome enjoyed both of these videos, always look forward to watching your content
Big thanks Stephen 🙏🏻
Amazing, what dreams are made of ⛺️
🙏🏻
I'd of loved to of been there with you Dave almost like a alpine expedition on a small scale.. fantastic part 2👌👌👌
Glad you enjoyed it Dave. Best wishes 🙏🏻
Put me right off that route up Slight Side. We have unfinished business on that fell, approaching it from Scafell Linda fell and cracked her head. Thankfully no real damage other than a cut on her forehead which has left a small scar, but she went into shock and I had a scary couple of hours getting her down to the car. Our first accident in 40yrs of hill-walking together - so it can happen to anyone. Your safety tips are very worthwhile, having the knowledge is one thing, remembering to use it is another. Great trip that, epic views. Thanks for sharing. ATB, Roger
I remember you telling me about that previously Roger. Sounds really nasty. Absolutely, accidents can happen to anyone. Glad you enjoyed the video. Best wishes 🙏🏻
Absolute belter 🤩 great video, just love em thank you! Huge inspiration. BW, Sarah
Big thanks Sarah. Glad you enjoyed it 😎🏔️⛺️👍
Brilliant mate. Crazy conditions coming back down. I hate poor visibility!
Keep smashing it bud
Big thanks Andy 😎👍
Hi Dave, bloody brilliant mate, what an adventure with some stunning views. You can't beat the Eskdale area you really can't. Thanks for sharing it with us mate as always, all the best, Dave
Much appreciated Dave. Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
Awesome 2 parter - very suspenseful waiting for 2nd episode. Loved your humility in ep1 and tenacity ep2. Thanks for taking us on your journey Dave 👌
Really appreciate that Rich 🙏🏻
Awesome!👍 That looked really full-on.
Many thanks Francis 🙏🏻
Outstanding Dave lad. Superb video that encapsulates the beauty and the beast that is wild camping in the Lakes in winter, especially when coupled with your previous video. Excellent example of tent striking technique in windy weather, and great use of the axe and poles as additional anchor security. Also great idea to take advantage of the shelter close by to “get your ship together”😂
Haha. Cheers Garry. Glad you enjoyed it 😁👍
Yet another brilliant video, Dave, well done. To really share the experience I’m sat with the heating off and the windows open in my boxer shorts and my feet in a bucket of cold water. I can’t replicate the wind though.
For what little I know, I am surprised that you had no extra food with you. If on the way down towards the car, you got into trouble and had to sit it out with let’s say a broken ankle, you be in big trouble. In fact excess fatigue and hunger can lead to disorientation in itself and a dangerous scenario. Anyway, thank you very much for going through the experience for us and recording it the way you did because that an itself is a major task. Stay safe and keep on sumiteering.
Haha. Nice one John. I can imagine the scene. You sat there freezing in front of the telly 🥶😁👍.
As for the food. I know what you mean but I did give it a lot of thought. There were risks involved in the whole trip as in any trip of this nature. The lack of food was a known risk that I mitigated for by being very careful on the descent. A debilitating injury in that environment could be very serious, even with food. Trust me, I am very conscious of the risks associated with my trips and make every effort to minimise them or at least consider them and be aware. That’s why I emphasised at the end for less experienced people not to attempt such a trip. Anyway, all was good in the end. Glad you enjoyed the video and hopefully you’ve thawed out by now. ATB 😁👍
Yes Dave. I get all that and your clear advice about the risks involved were very well made.
Wonderful x I just don't know how you camped up there in those conditions. Your experience and expertise is amazing. Well done x
Thank you Patricia. So glad you enjoyed it. Very best wishes 🙏🏻
That looked like a really hard difficult one, great video though, thanks for taking us with you on that one, well done mate
🙏🏻
the goats back in the LD
🙏🏻
Great vid Dave, bloody hell that looked a challenging and cold one.
Tell me about it 🥶😁👍
An superb conclusion to an epic adventure. Once again you show how important it is to put safety first. Quality footage from your pitch, the views were totally stunning. Many many thanks and best wishes.
Really appreciate that Andy. Great to hear from you as always 🙏🏻
One word. Superb!
🙏🏻
Loved it, as always a great video Dave. I was out in those winds as well and my tent poles suffered and I now need to replace them. By the way Dave, I have clicked on your "by me a coffee" link to support the channel 👍👍
No way Biagio. What tent was it?
@@TheSoloSummiteer MSR Elixir 1 tbf its a 3 season tent.
Proper trip this Dave! Really enjoyed being up there as i couldnt sneak a snow camp in this year 😢
Hope youre keeping well mate,
Adge.
Big thanks Al 👍
Another epic video. Loved it.
🙏🏻
Great video!
Great video! Love the amount of effort that must go into filming something like this so cohesively for us to view! I must say I feel like I needed to see you reach your car and munch your sandwich, the satisfaction that must have been 😅
Haha. Thanks Jasmine. It’s funny, when I got back to the car my water, milk and sandwiches were frozen solid in the car. So I still had nothing to eat or drink 🤦🏻♂️🤣. I should have filmed it but I was too tired by then. Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
Brilliant video Dave loved it Great bit at 7:00 mins in deffo reminded me of when i watched the moon landing all those years ago fantastic filming, you just keep getting better, i had to say this before i got past the moon walk section, so ill now carry on watching the rest of the video🧑🚀
Nice one Derek. Haha. The moon walk. Know what you mean 😁👍. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB
Great work Dave, superb shots of the sunset colouring the snowy fells. You could feel the cold in the tent pack sequence. A good illustration of how knowledge, planning and the correct gear all matter in extreme weather. Thanks for taking us on another lakes camp 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
Cheers Dave. Yeah, it’s really not a place for messing about in those conditions. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB
You are right Dave, you did make this look easy.
At the same time acknowledging how tough it was & how much it was taking out of you.
Love how you are always in control and can adapt to every situation with a plan.
Great lesson for everyone in packing away your kit & tent in the wind. Again...looked so easy...but bet its not😂
Your love of the mountains shone through in this 2 parter.
To just sit there, alone in that setting, with those views must be so rewarding.
Brilliant film again Dave...was really looking forward to it...and it didn't disappoint.
Take it easy in the mountains mate and thanks for bringing this to us.👍
Big thanks as always Simon. It’s always great to read your comments. Very best wishes 🙏🏻
really loved this mate , the views were spectacular , I'm starting my journey with wild camping this year with my son , but I hope 1 day I will have the knowledge , experience and the right gear , keep the videos coming 👍
Nice one Stuart. Good luck with your camping adventures with your son. Best wishes 🙏🏻
Awesome Dave. What amazing views in the morning. I wish I lived a bit closer to the Lakes. Great video as always pal. 👍
Much appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏻
Fairly new to your channel and you are essential viewing in my opinion. Absolutely brilliant. Great videos and you seem a really likeable person too.
Much appreciated Michael 🙏🏻
Really enjoyed part 1 … Part 2 certainly didn’t disappoint … Truly Amazing video.
Have you ever thought about using the little yellow squashy ear defenders to cut out the noise … I use them when I’m camping ⛺️ if not just so I can can block out the dogs snoring when their in the tent with me. I have the Allak 3 and also the Soulo, brilliant bits of kit.
Big thanks Francis🙏🏻. Regarding earplugs I prefer not to use them especially when the conditions get rough. I like to be able to hear what’s going on just just so I can take action if necessary. ATB 👍
I’ll watch this later. 1st part of as brilliant
👍
Top man 👍. I can only wish 🤣🤣.
😎👍
Part Deux? I will enjoy this after work today! 😊. I really enjoyed part one!
Enjoy Sam 👍
Absolutely cracking couple of films. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this. Filming, depth of knowledge and the views were a joy to watch and listen to as always. Thanks again
Much appreciated Paul. Big thanks 🙏🏻
Another peach of a film Dave.When I've dropped my tent correctly and packed it away in high winds the sense of satisfaction is off the charts. I could never do what you did on these two camps.Kudos to you.
Cheers Mike. Yes, I know exactly what you mean. Same when pitching. I tend to just take my time and enjoy it 🙏🏻. ATB
Thank you for the upload ,brilliant views, will be there again in May, my favourite place, in all weathers , take care
Nice one Edward. Have a great trip 😎👍
Great effort Dave.. 👏👏
🙏🏻
Great vid, thanks!
Glad you liked it 👍
superb again Dave ..iv not done anything down in that area apart from Crinkle Crags when I was heading home from Crib Goch ..its a lovely area and should really explore it more but its hard having Glencoe a cpl hours drive for me ..
keep doing you mate ..class 👌
🙏🏻. Yeah, I get it. It’s definitely worth a look tho 👍ATB
Do not do what your not comfortable doing just for viewers! We love your videos anyway! I was listening to what you said a couple of videos ago about what viewers want. You just do you! Take care my friend!
🙏🏻
Agree with most comments ,a fantastic watch
Great video Dave, really enjoyed this 2 parter👌🏻👍🏻 could have been interesting not being able to get off the mountain due to poor weather, with no gas and food 😱😱
Nice one Paul. Yeah, knowledge and experience the key 🙏🏻
another fantastic vid dude and yes people should have some knowledge before attemping something like this
Many thanks Tom. ATB 🙏🏻
5 star video. Superb 👌🏻
Thank you so much 😀
Last week I was so glad you decided to do another night… nails!!couldn’t wait for part 2… once again More amazing footage of your journey… every video just gets better, Do your thing Dave, you’re a top gent on a mission. Thanks for another leg up in life, I needed it.
Really appreciate that David. Take care and very best wishes 🙏🏻
I really loved this 2-part adventure and it looks like everyone else did as well. As always, that scenery is breathtaking and I appreciate the effort you put in on our behalf. Stay safe and thank you as always!
Thanks so much Dee 🙏🏻

Nice one Robert. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB 👍
That was a cracking video Dave….some sound advice there. Did something similar in Torridon a few years ago, was up for a couple days and ended up staying for4 to rattle off a few more Munros…. Great stuff Dave, ATB Jim.👌👍
Nice one Jimbo. Hope you’re on the mend. All the best pal 🏴 🙏🏻
@@TheSoloSummiteer hi Dave, unfortunately not yet….. but it was great to sit with a glass of wine and really enjoy your video. It brought back memories when I was down the Lakes last year. ATB Dave.❤️👍
I thinks it’s fair to say you make the best winter snow camp videos Dave!
Really appreciate that Dave 🙏🏻
Thanks Dave, watching from a warm and cosy armchair.
Glad you enjoyed it Graham 👍
Hi Dave, Another excellent video, too cold for me to camp in that weather...keep up the good work.
Great effort and gives us a real sense of just how remote it is, spot on that 💪👌
Brilliant mate. Two parter really works well. As always, the most reliable source of information in the Lake District mountains 👏
Awesome, thank you my friend 🙏🏻
Excellent 2 part video. Glad you got your target camp on Slight Side. As always informative and honest about how hard winter camping can be, although you present as a real pro.
Big thanks Bill 🙏🏻
Great Video❤
🙏🏻
Brilliant Dave, just chilled watching on the TV. The backdrop of the fells, the black rocks, poking through in between the whiteness of the snow, makes for amazing scenery. Seems like long days Dave, do you have a book to while your time away. Loved the sound of silence ! Till you take me on the next journey!!!!! Take care mate 👏👏👏👊
Nice one Baz🙏🏻. Glad you enjoyed it. I don’t take books, no. Just bask in the environment. Ahhhh 🙏🏻
Evening Dave, Really enjoyed part 1 & 2 of these great winter camps, I appreciate all your hard work putting these videos together.
Thank you.
Thank you Caroline. Much appreciated 🙏🏻
This was epic! 2 parter with a cliffhanger in the middle.
Would like to build up to more winter treks as our dog is made for the snow and cold. Really inspiring me to learn more!
Cheers. Glad you enjoyed it. ATB 👍
Enjoyed every second of this perfect wow just the silence the colour of that amazing tent with the white back drop .seeing no one for 2 days it ticks everybox and helpfull to see yourself put the tent down in that wind its a education to watch thanks
Much appreciated Mark👍. ATB 🙏🏻
I loved every moment of your adventure Dave. Thank you.
🙏🏻
Looked stunning but your right not a place or time of year for the inexperienced 👍
Absolutely Craig 👍
I loved the film, great part 2. Near the end , on the decent, the 'sound of silence' with that amazing scenery, brilliant. Your photos at the end really put a smile on my face and topped up my wellbeing cup. Thanks for taking the time to do the camp but also you obviously invest time in the edit. Looking at the comments, I believe we all are grateful. Still not seen you at Darwen Sainsbury's 🤣🤣 ATB and Cheers Sel
Haha. Cheers guys🙏🏻. You bound to bump into me in Sainsbury’s soon. I’m never out of the bloody place 🤦🏻♂️😁👍. ATB
A real epic Dave, one of your very best. Thanks so much for all the effort.
Really appreciate that Glyn 🙏🏻
Cracking adventure Dave! Loved every minute. Many thanks.
Big thanks Neil 🙏🏻
Hilleberg tents are great but getting them back into the narrow bags they come with in the wind and rain is a pain in the arse. I've got an MSR as well and their wide opening bags are brilliant.
The Allak bag is fine Simon. Just a bit tricky in that wind 💨 🥶😁
Waow, gripping! I love these videos, real exciting adventures in remote mountains in winter. I find your explanations really interesting and the scenery and drone shots stunning! Thank you!
Thanks Liz. Much appreciated 🙏🏻
Fantastic videos Dave, please keep doing them. Love following along with you, vicariously 👌🏼
Much appreciated James 🙏🏻
Superb Dave you the man !!!! Filming whilst taking that unit down in those conditions 💪😎 looking forward to the next one mate two part job superb 👌😉
Big thanks Neil 🙏🏻
Brew with a snow 🌨 view, outstanding.
🙏🏻
