Dartmoor national park wild camp / Meldon reservoir / Hexpeak V4a tent 

Great video Carl 👍👍. It was good to see Melodn mate. My old stommping ground... some nice trout in the reservior. Cheers Carl.... catch you in the next video mate.

Fantastic filming. Great quality. Really enjoyed this.

Great video again Carl glad to see you back on Dartmoor again with the stunning scenery looking forward to part two hopefully with more stunning views and legendary food feasts

Well, you certainly tested yourself there Carl and found the limit of your kits capabilities and your own physical capacity and from the photography I can see you made the best of it. Am sure you are well fed at least.... no doubt part two or three will make us all amazed at your "absolutely stunning" culinary delights! Cheers.

Some glorious footage you got there Carl, very nice. You must be as strong as an ox to be carrying that pack. Doubt I’d even pick it up 😝😝 Apologies that we haven’t met up yet, the summer just goes by so fast. We’ll get there one day mate. Good luck with the news arrival, wishing you and the Mrs well. Dan

Great piece of film, Carl, and the quality is pristine. Best of luck to you and Mrs Carl with the upcoming happy event. ATVB...mike 👍

camera is so smooth :) those trains almost looked like a model train set haha

Mate you're carrying like a 70lb pack. Done well to get as far as you did ! Cracking vid

Carl that pack is nearly as heavy as I am 🤣🤣🤣 I'm amazed at you for carrying it that far. Great filming though, the investment in your new camera has paid off. Waiting for part 2 now buddy 👍👍👍

Camera work was stellar !!! Great Video !! Proud to say I was one of the first 20 subs ! Keep em coming 👍👍🍻

Hi Carl. Hats off for that weight mate I would be dead. Great video. Good editing. And you have walked extra with your Walk backs to retrieve camera. Looking forward two Next video. Take care mate. Old dave.

Great part 1 mate 👍

Awesome job...video format was real step up... i was down meldon thursday for a recce.. never saw the view from the viaduct,,just the dam.. nice one,,,,, PS congrats on the Bambino

"Hello, my fellow explorers" Is this the new catchphrase? Wow, that pack looks massive :-) I heard that you'll be able to book a ticket from Oakhampton to St David's Exeter by the end of 2021. This will make a massive difference I'd say. That dam looks pretty impressive! When are we going to see the kayak ;-) Great video Carl!

Hi Carl, great to see you're out there, am seriously worried about the weight you carry - In the end if you're not careful you'll do your knees in - then as you get older you won't manage to get out there at all - Time for a re-think my friend - Back in the late 60s I used to carry up to 20kgm; which was more than enough - bear in mind tents were canvas then and had wooden poles - then as time has gone by I've lowered it more and more - I'm now sometimes as low as 8.5 kgm on a one nighter and always under 10 kgm, even on a two nighter - We wanna see you out there long into the future - look after those knees ... cheers mike

Get in there Carl! Good to see you out and about mate. I look forward to part two. Love the timelapses :)

Great Vid. I could never carry that sort of weight!!!

When I cycled around Dartmoor a few years back I got a banging drone shot over that bridge just before Meldon dam. Awesome!

🤣 bloody he'll mate. I wouldn't of thought the squaddies carry 35kg + New camera looks ace 👌 Looking forward to the cooking vids. I recom you've got a microwave in that burger lol

I'm guessing you've got a side of beef and a whole lamb in the pack to weigh so much Carl. Looking forward to seeing the feast you cook up. Regards Keith

Good one Carl. I done that walk the other day but in the opposite direction. I'd seriously look into reducing your pack weight. At 70lb+, all you need is one slip and you'll break your ankle.

I don't usually comment but here I felt I had to. Like a few others here I'd like to see what is in your pack. That pack looks way too heavy and could cause you injury esp if you should happen to lose your footing. Im sure many peeps here are dying to help you out with advice and even with some lighter spare equipment some of us might have. Anyway you do great vids and are continually improving the content and editing. Hope to see you out and about in the spring and best of luck with the new arrival in October.

Nice to see you back on Dartmoor. Are you pleased with your new camera?

I've said this before..... Do a gear load out video will you!!! I wanna see everything you take. EVERYTHING!!!! Over 35kg?? How is it possible for one night?

Those Bergens are great but the thing is the weight don't sit on the hips try a pack that wraps around the iliac crest.

I expect PA 2 & 3 Mate～

Nice job on the video mate I like the shots with the new toy when you flick from one side to another. Ignore the twats comments re weight of bag, at the end of the day it's you carrying it and if you are able to do it then that's that.nwver understand those people it's not like they are being asked to lift it ! Won't see me able to carry that weight anymore, I have to max out at 20kg tops these days lol

Jeezus Carl.....35+kg......how the hell do you manage that 🤣🤣🤣

Why on earth do u carry so much all the time my winter camp bag only weighs about 16kg u need to lighten your load buddy

you really need to sort yr carry weight out mate..that is WAY WAY too much, you can yrself a serious injury or heart attack doing that, nothing you should be doing with a kid on the way...ATB WJ
