Oh

hello people I'm copy and Brian cuz it's not here I cut a card to his accent though I'm gonna basically rip on Brian a lot this video because this is the happy yeah anyway and welcome to another video today me and Charlie also known as Bush Kapil bum bitty bizzle if your clothes from the room oh we have come up to sky fell pike in the lake district which is England's highest peak and the plan is to go up there and to spend the night up there so we've got tents and stoves and all that kind of stuff so a little bit different than usual something I want to get a bit more into so we've got and what the modern packs here lightweight gear it's going to be good the idea of this trip is to focus on taking some good photographs so then I want to get bit more into is landscape photography and stuff like that so the plan is to get there as quickly as we're coming that may not make the summit today that's not the purpose of today it's fine a nice spot the nice view takes good pictures but we're going to try and get as high as we can we want to be up in the snow so it's time for us to crack on are you ready charlie I'm ready I've got my apricot I'm saw it awesome alright guys so we've stopped we've been send it quite far not majorly far up here but we've decided that here's a good place to stop because we've got this amazing view down the valley and then behind the specific topic later we've got the air it's on there it's snowing so we're based again rule I set up a time-lapse going there just of the clouds move in here actually really bitter my hands like nice cute so I put the camera down alright folks so we've kind of we've descended them at we climbed up a little bit we haven't feel much because basically I haven't got much experience of camping the man's got a lot of experience of walking in them will not actually staying up on them so it's been a big learning curve for us today and basically the problem we found is there's a lot of people around and not a lot of level ground and everywhere we found level ground there's been a lot of people spit very close to the trail so basically back to the drawing board that one we've descended the mountain and we've decided to try take a different route the problem is that we are now losing the light however it does look absolutely fantastic dude come and look how well it's shown up I know you're always saying the cameras do it justice it's good it looks like one key doesn't it I don't know if you take the cut you know these survival programs they say like your measure measure yet is my hand on it like you measure the distance of your hand against the horizon you can kind of tell how many hours you got that every fingers suppose it's supposedly 15 minutes so I'd say we're probably still pretty high up there though I'd say we're pretty got an hour and a half just look straight at the sunda yeah it's pretty painful I'd say I'd say judging that's my survival program noon oh you're any Zach will style like guys she gots an idol will do i'm gonna fill me like a bear girls cameraman dive off the end jolly roll hunt against them hey Lacey Chinese on one again so yeah basically we've had a look at the map and there's a more which is just see this mountain here down that Valley the that's where we're headed all right that's my fingers I like I awkward learn a lot along Rocco

Wow being counseling but we're taller than our feets little popular but where we are if I a nice dry pak single game look at that view it is absolutely amazing

Charlie

watching just about to pop a smoke yeah it's helped me out cuz I've never used one

chance to really saw this windy by the way sand they start speaking up I'm sure realize how we need yeah I have no chance to try out before so he's had to give your hand I'm gonna log out here because it's very very windy all of a sudden okay guys so I'm out of the wind now so I can talk a little bit more quietly think I my finger of the microphone there so I'm in a tent this time which isn't something I do very often but I want to get more into a bit more mountaineering type stuff and tents really ideal for that and to be honest it's quite nice to be out of the wind like completely out the wind for a change really comfortable here and check out the view from my door look at that the Suns just gone down over here click the camera to adjust to it let's just use the zoom some more because we can look at the color of that sky that sky is like blood red it's so nice so Charlie's just sit his tent up as well using the van Gogh banshee as well have to say absolutely love in this tent it is like a bomb shelter is fantastic Charlie's just over here over the way hey Charlie determined to walk onto my Charlie was Catholic 10 c se/4 grass whiz-bang all bunchy Boston bitter right y'all just gain your close-up yeah yeah so this charlie there's the view on the other side by the way this is where we are look at that look at this landscape we're in it is absolutely phenomenal practicing those slow panning shots for you guys there we go amazing in it right Charlie's going to come over for dinner shortly I'm gonna finish setting up in here yes I'll catch up with you a bit goes boring folks it is very cold here but I had an excellent night sleep how many hours sleep of I I like 12 hours sleep so I quite a lot of sleep vago bunchy it's a winner my own warehouse Everest down still a winner this crag office jacket winner Charlie a your winner I look at this view we have woken up to is absolutely the best absolutely incredible tense frozen and we have some hail in the night as well and we asked to stop filming now because my hands are cold it is really cold isn't it it's really really cold my hands are freezing so I'm going to put the camera down finish packing and we're gonna head down to the car and figure out what we're doing with the rest of the day alright guys we have packed up and we've spent a good sort of 15-20 minutes just literally soaked in the view it is amazing like the cloud formation of this mountain because put the camera and just zoom in on it a little bit for you look at that is just stunning the weather is beautiful we've got proper clear skies but it's very very cold our packs were starting to freeze as we were packing them all so I've learned a lot on this trip and I know that we haven't filmed a lot of it I'm possibly going to put it up anyway quite a lot of time with trips like this if I'm not managed to film anything I'm not bothered but this is a totally new not completely but a relatively new experience to me this whole kind of wild camping in the mountains thing and it's something I really want to get into but we did have some troubles and one of the things is I've discovered that i really need to buy some light windproof gloves so one of the reasons I've barely filmed anything is because I've been too cold to operate the camera so holding the camera at arm's length but this is really difficult especially in the cold so that's a logistical filming thing that I've discovered it is bitter cold I mean on the camera problems like Oh beautiful sunny day but he's really really cold out and I've still got my my like downpour jacket off which I don't really like to walk in I'm gonna do a review on this I think because it is absolutely amazing it has made such a difference having like a modern lightweight kind of jacket for this now in terms of like the bushcraft style camping I probably would do wouldn't were this because it is synthetic and it's not the last 30 seconds there a fire but what I'm aiming to do with this stuff is I want to do like bushcraft in the mountains it's not bushcraft isn't all about being in the forest I want to experience different landscapes and new places so yet that this is one of those things so it's been a huge a really steep learning curve I've gotta sit down make some notes and figure it all out but yet overall absolutely fantastic it was really unusual sleeping in a tent I don't really pin tents very often but I got um literally like 12 hours sleep I was so cozy and warm in there we went to bed at eight o'clock and we woke up again at seven I've got up at seven tell ya at eleven out 11 hours sleep charlie didn't have as good as good a night sleep as I did did you know I've kind of picked a bad spot I had a really massive lumper Heath underneath my hair tan but I'm actually got about four or five hours in so it was all right this season sleeping bag was really nice and warm though so I'm really happy with a temperature rating on it because before I had a really nice sleeping bag but spending that little bit of extra money got me really decent night's sleep so worked out alright no do I still good product I was cozy are basically I've got a news I've got a new inflatable sleep MA I've got my down sleeping bag which i used the crew which everywhere I go so yeah it's all about I think for this as much as I bang all about everything not being all about kit I think having the right kit in the right gear for this kind of thing up in the mountains is absolutely essential isn't it and the lighter the stuff you can get the better because trying to get the plan had actually been to sleep up on that Ridge there let's zoom on it the plan had been to sleep on there however the weight the patch of holders but now I think the phone with my pack is it's not necessarily the weight of the gear that's in there so much as the fact that I've also got all the camera equipment in there which is really making a huge difference to wait in the pack so as well as my tent sleeping bag extra layers food water and stove I've also got a full status tripod a mini tripod a GoPro a DSLR a spur lens for the DSLR filters with a DSLR this handy cam I'm filming on now I've got a battery pack I've got spare batteries so that's a lot of gear and for the stuff that I want to do I actually need all that camera equipment so it's all about just learning a new way of doing it so we're gonna head back down for car now I'll get a hot drinkers could we use the last of our water last night and which again was another problem is being able to carry enough water obviously when we're doing the bushcraft thing we're just used to carrying a filter so yeah it's all interesting i'm going to put the camera down now my hands are about to drop off from frostbite nice ta Paul and all those rocks off as well okay guys so we basically we decided not to do the summit today so we're heading back and but what we've decided to do on the way back is to stop at some of these places I mean win this beautiful beautiful valley and the road runs right along side you can't hear a car just going past in the background there so we decided to stop and try and do a little bit of photography stuff something that I'm trying to get more into and Charlie wants to learn a little bit more about getting used to use this deer salah and what a better place to learn it this I mean look at these views look at the weather but that Sun is really warm it's so cold out that song is really warm so these views are just stunning war two is like crystal clear the rivers run into this lake were like Beaulieu blue rivers i don't think i've ever seen worth like that before so we're going to play around with the cameras a bit take some long exposures you shot some different bits and pieces just think of charlier a hand that i want to practice a bit as well I want to get more into doing photography so yeah this is where we are so we might fill up oh we might film a little bit more when we're here but they've not all sticks the pictures we get into the video for you guys

already

as did i do whatever you want my do you sort funny yeah hold it hold it hold it just keep hold it you're filming no I might be Phil me a little bit just as a little side note I'd like to do a little bit of shower to a channel and I've been watching quite a lot of recently and it's not an outdoor toys not a bushcraft channel and but it's one of the channels that I've learned to do like I've used it to learn how to do the time lapse on the DSLR I've learned loads of photography stuff stuff that I'm now trying to implement for this channel to make it look a lot better a little bit more professional I really enjoy the film inside of things I really enjoy making the making the films and that's how is Robin Jonas's filmmaking I will link her channel in the bottom of this they are professional filmmakers who are putting out quite a lot of different techniques and things and they work a lot in like remote places ladylike wildlife photography and stuffing the point out a lot of the photography techniques on there there's a huge wealth of information so people wanting to do their own and sorry i dribbled a little bit then for people wanting to do their own channel well worth having a look at very very very useful channel from ever for every aspect of filmmaking so that's just a little bit of a shot off a Robin Jonas's filmmaking and every time I've comments on the videos well you know they have responded pretty quickly with useful valuable information really really good guys so I do recommend getting over there and check it out
