Wow ! what an amazing camp, high up in the tree canopy on my homemade portaledge.
Physically and mentally exhausting in getting everything set up but worth all the effort for a magical unforgetable experience.

There is a fine line between being a genius and absolutely bonkers...and you Pat, are a genius (all be it a bit bonkers 😄) Again you have smashed it out of the park with your creativity, humour and sheer determination and effort to entertain us. A massive thumbs up from me mate for taking us along for your magical camp. Best wishes from me and Jo.

@patrickdickinson6492 3 года назад

Nice to hear from you both Paul, sometimes when I,am swinging 40 foot up on a rope, just to set a camera up for a 10 sec bit of footage, I wonder what I,am doing, then the adhrenlin sets in, and I realise why, excitement, fun, the challenge, so many different reasons that make it all worthwhile. Where to go next, perhaps another tree, all the best Paul...... thanks Pat 👍

@adrianh9375 3 года назад

Paul, great to learn that you are also a Patrick Dickinson fan! I subscribe to your channel as well as his and thoroughly enjoy both. I spent my childhood in Sheffield close to where Patrick lives (I think) and have spent the last 40 years living in the Peak District so both channels often show locations familiar to me. Great comment re. this vid. 👍

Watched this yesterday (with a glass or two of beer), and 'Liked', but didn't know quite what to say - in fact, I was a little speechless. But ,now, with the benefit of a night's sleep: Mr. Dickinson, you are an inspiration, sir. Well done, good job, and thank you for all the effort you put into filming and sharing your adventures. Truly and sincerely appreciated. Cheers!

@patrickdickinson6492 3 года назад

Hi Barry, a bit of a challenge this one, but that's what I like, great fun filming and getting the different angles, hope to be back up there soon, thanks Pat 👍

Patrick. You are in the same league as Fred Dibnah. You represent something very special about our unique British Isles and the north of England. As a southerner (now living in the Highlands of Scotland), you have opened up my eyes to the history, architechture, and geography of your area. You've inspired interest, fascination, and adventure. This time, you've outdone yourself. This video is a testament to more than tree camping. It's a taste of a long lost feeling we all had when we were kids. Turning dreams into reality was much easier back then, and MUCH harder today! You've rekindled a passion and interest that we should all keep burning. You're a truly remarkable man who is an absolute national treasure. Bless you and yours.

@patrickdickinson6492 3 года назад

Wow David such amazing comments, with a lot of truth behind them, I find myself returning to my childhood interests over again, and tree climbing was certainly one of them, so simple a pastime, but oh so adventurous, I hope to be back up there soon, back Tomy childhood for another night, thanks again, all the best Pat 👍

@tinkeroldham 3 года назад

Patrick this is great work as usual. I'd just like to advise (as a tree surgeon) that any folks who wish to start tree climbing are aware of 'Suspension Trauma/Suspension Syncope'. If you remain static in the harness for prolonged periods (if your unfit and resting etc) or the harness is too tight, blood can pool in the legs and quickly lead to quiet serious problems. So just take time to shake out your legs or support part of your weight by standing on branches as you ascend.

@patrickdickinson6492 3 года назад

Hi Andy and good advice, my climbing saddle is thick and well padded so seems to spread the load well, tend to be in the saddle when ascending, then usually climb with lanyards for most of the time, thanks for the importance advice....Pat

I imagine it would be pinnacle of their career and topic of conversation for the rest of their lives. The filming and recording of this vlog would challenge the very best of any professional film production team. And there you are not only doing it, but also filming it entirely alone and happy in your particular style of madness. Well done Patrick, you’ve surpassed all expectations. You’ve taken the expression ‘ Hanging out’ to another level……..! In more ways than one.

Patrick, I’m an arborist , you need to invest in a throw line and a throw bag, you can get your climbing line up in minutes and go straight up. Also get a pantine on your boot and use your leg muscles to ascend it take a lot of the effort out of SRT. Great video. You can learn a lot about tree climbing from contacting an Arb company.

@patrickdickinson6492 3 года назад

Hi yes I have used a throw line and bag for years, used it on this one to get to the lower branches.It would be very difficult to throw a line up to where I wanted my tie in point, perhaps a big shot would do it, but I,am happy to just climb up, and take my rope with me... thanks Pat

That was hard work Pat , I got shattered watching you ! the woman from next heard me gasping for air , rushing round she found me naked whimpering and had to give me mouth to mouth resuscitation that nearly killed me ? ended up in hospital for the night on life support !... doctors advice is to watch your videos with one eye closed ! that way I'll only get half worn out .

If you set up a tree camp for me I will sleep there. It must have taken an age to set up. What a top bloke you are. I'm well jealous of your expertise and commitment to your challenges. Keep them coming sir. Should be tv doc about you and your expeditions. Legend.👍. PS you are still nuts though 🤪

Being a bit nuts does help on these adventures, alot of hard work, but amazing once it's all set up, very relaxing in fact..... thanks Pat 😊

Pat! I cannot applaud you long, hard and loud enough. You really are amazing. You seem to do your best work when the work is the most challenging. I really recommend to all the viewers to watch all of the previous Portaledge videos so they can begin appreciate all that you have had to do to prepare for this. As a recovering alcoholic, I have to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your plug for sobriety, subtle as it was and probably needed to be. I will need to be without the Internet for the next few years and as I have said before, what I will miss the most, without it, is your channel and your truly inspirational videos, like this one. May you thrive for many many more decades.

@patrickdickinson6492 3 года назад

really nice comments and I do hope peole do follow your advice and look at my earlier tre videos, and yes not the place for alchol up there, and congratuations on recovery from a possible bad situation in your life, must of taken great courage and will power, no interenet, well hope to keep in touch, all the best Pat

@stewartmarshall4112 3 года назад

Hi Pat, I have not said hello in a while! Glad to see you are getting by OK after this crazy year and a half we have had. I have been climbing right thru as well. I did knock together a DIY Portaledge a few years ago, inspired by your video, but one issue we have here Stateside which is troubling, is that there always seems to be some yobs who will take a shot at anything different just for chuckles. Anywhere you go in rural America, away from civilization to any distance, every sign post, etc, will be full of bullet holes. Depending on these types to recognize it as a hammock that might possibly contain a person laying there, is quite a bit higher level of trust than I am willing to extend. So have not used it as yet. Anyway, great to see another of your inspiring vids. Cheers, Stew

@patrickdickinson6492 3 года назад

Hi Stew glad you,ve still been climbing, takes your mind off all that's going on. Luckly where I camp is very private and safe, although it has cross my mind, if there were hunters they would sure take a shot at a bed up in a tree. Anyway hope to be back up there soon while we have the summer weather.... thanks Pat 👍

@bushcraftandastronomer.3775 3 года назад

Hi Patrick. Another classic tree wild camp and fantastic to see you do another one! Glad you got out there and I bet you felt fantastic. I think I should try this and even thought of building a tree house but camping up a tree is totally different! I wouldn't mind building your own tree house as you need permission from land owner like council etc! Hope you do another tree wild camp as it's so wonderful watching you up there and nobody bothers you so your out in nature and hear the sounds! You thought of doing tree wild camping in the winter? The advantage of winter is no bugs and midges to annoy you! Do you find it harder to cook up a tree? Hopefully next tree camp a glass of whisky to enjoy the camp with nice weather. Looking forward to next video and you take care please!!!

@patrickdickinson6492 3 года назад

Great to hear from you and a truly amazing place to spend the night, the winter would have advantages like no midges etc, but not geared up for winter camping in a tree yet, working on it though, even bigger challenge which I like, all the best Pat 👍
