It takes some really special scenery to keep my attention for more than a general glance, and as soon as anyone mentions sunsets and sunrises, I zone out! But wow, that was a special overnighter. As spectacular as your footage is, and as talented as you clearly are with a camera, that's one you've made me wish I'd experienced for myself. Kudos!
Thanks Tim. It was just a special time to be out. The amount of snow and the stillness of the morning. One thing I didn't really capture was the amount of skiers and snowboarders dropping off the sides of the peaks. It was just a playground up there that day.
Absolutely mesmerizing! This video captures the serene beauty of a winter's night on the Southern Giant in Nordisk Svalbard so vividly. The stark, icy landscape against the backdrop of the night sky is simply breathtaking. It's like stepping into a dreamworld, where the stillness of the snow-covered mountains and the dancing auroras above create an otherworldly experience. Thank you for sharing this magical journey with us! Can't wait to see more from your Svalbard adventures. Keep exploring and inspiring!
It was actually really fun seeing all those people out and about enjoying the snow! Nice spot to stick a tent, and clear mornings like those are fantastic for the soul ❤ Loved the guy skiing past you! Good work 👍 James.
Yeah, everyone was happy and in awe of it all. I didn't capture some excellent snowboarders dropping off the side for about 15 seconds of fun and then an immense trudge back up!
@@joinmeoutdoors it was strange heading back down and into the green land all around. It made the mountain seem more isolated, that only the tops had snow.
Fair play. Good winter camp with a great view. The shot of Corn Du and Pen y Fan with pink sky identical to a pre dawn photography shoot that I did. Loved the cloud miving through.
Thanks. It was a location I'd been meaning to camp for a while, I definitely picked the right night for it! The kind of moments that will stay with you forever.
Thanks for the kind words. It was just fantastic. Shame I couldn't capture the howling winds overnight. But I just wasn't too keen on getting out of the tent.
Thanks. It didn't feel too cold to me. I think now I've finally got a proper winter sleep mat it's made all the difference. Plus the tent was really cosy.
Good to see the Svalbard back in action Kev.. wonderful scenery, made even more spectacular with the thick blanket of fresh snow! ☃️ It’s a very open and exposed summit, nowhere to hide up on those mountain tops at all! 😬 Plus I can’t believe how busy they are - even at the crack of dawn, not sure I could camp up on any of those summits, I like rocks to hide behind personally on my camps, thankfully we got plenty of those over here in the Derbyshire Peaks..👍🏻
Cheers Ash. When the wind started howling I knew I'd picked the right tent. Never felt at all worried by how exposed it was. It was a magical morning and TBH it was enhanced by the crowds on the summits opposite. It was good to see so many people enjoying it. I'm not a chatty person, but everyone was saying hello and talking, admiring the scenes and it was just a happy place. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a peaceful camp as well, but it was a totally different experience. I've only been to Derbyshire once. I'll have to return one day.
Hi ive got the MSR hubba hubba nx 2 person 3 season tent , It's very good in wind , but for the reasons you have experienced not recommended in snow, The Hilleberg Soulo would be ideal in the conditions you were in. Were you warm enough ? I always find my feet suffer. The sky looked incredible . Hopefully run into you on the hill someday.
I was very warm all night, actually took clothes off as I was too warm. I had some Nordisk down slippers on, they're great. Tent was really warm and cosy and once I sorted the door issue out it was fine with the snow as well. Are you around the hills in South Wales?
Hi , yes around the hills regularly, especially at the moment as have my ML assessment this August, Im usually found off the beaten track at practicing my navigation skills, I spend a lot of time in Snowdonia also. you commented on one of videos last year , Mynydd Maen. @@TheWalkingKev
Hi that video was filmed in October, It was mating season for spiders , I think that's why there were so many , I had a tent full, it was the same on the Rhinogs In September, I'm not bothered by them , but I understand the phobia some ppl have. @@TheWalkingKev
Nice sound thanks for sharing your adventure. I recommend you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak. Add this sound in your bucket list.
God what a great video ❤ how much does it really weighs packed with the stuffsack and the included pegs? i have seen many differents datas concerning the weight on the internet. Thank you for your video!
@@Pasequale100 it pitched fine, the inner was fine pitching in a bit of falling snow. It's not leaked so far in the rain I've used it in. I've not seam sealed it.
