Glad you both survived. Decision worked. Close for Morgane though. This year, very high winds nearly blew me off my motorbike, I could not pull over or stop until though off the mountain pass as the gyroscopic effect of the wheels spinning and speed were the only things helping keeping the bike upright. Iceland is magic but it can turn bad.
Hello. I am happy that you and your daughter survived such a harrowing experience. Can i ask you which tent you were using? I am wondering if it failed and enabled water to get into your tent. Merci! Best of luck.
Hi, thanks for your message. You will find the details in one of my video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aBIuLpft3j0.html DEfinetly not a tent for storm conditions....
Vous avez eu beaucoup de chance !.... Surtout en amenant votre fille camper en Islande avec une si mauvaise préparation. Il existe des tentes prévues pour ce genre de situation (p.ex. Hilleberg red ou black label!, des moyens de communications qui vous donnent des alertes méteo et ont un bouton SOS d'urgence (p.ex. Garmin In reach), des sursacs sui protègent les duvets de l'humidité....Le camping, sauvage en plus, n'est pas à prendre à la légère en Islande.
Thank you so much, Rena ! Me too ^^ Thanks to my daughter I HAD TO make the best decision possible. Alone, I would have probably left the tent earlier. Would not have been the best idea...
A great story! Especially great because you have made it back and can tell it in person! This was no joke for sure. Hypothermia can kill easily. When it comes to being trapped in a tent by weather, the story of Robert Falcon Scott and his mates comes to my mind. Unfortunately they didn't make it back to their homebase, not so far away. - Thank you very much for sharing! 👍
@@DreamBig True, it isn't, but if anything goes wrong it can be as deadly! Especially if wet and cold conditions meet the inability to move to a proper shelter and no outside help can be asked for.
Wow I'm so sorry to see what you had to go through, must have been an awful experience, I hope your healths are okay, I am replanning to return to Iceland and I have got the highlands in site pretty similar to what you have filmed in your previous videos which I love watching, mind if I ask every location in the highlands you went to, was there available parking as I was told on my last trip off road parking is illegal?
I plan to do it ( wild camp ) on my adventure this coming October. I attempt to cycle across Iceland but I was told that it is okay to wild camp there as long as it isn't within the private lands and near to designated campsites and it must be done out of sight and not more than just one night. Leave no trace is a must of course.
@@adrienbiosseduplan6922 The reason behind the laws to prevent wild camping IN VEHICLES were on the grounds of environmental impact from increasing numbers of motorhome tourists (not safety/mountain rescue).
@MariuszTravels This is incorrect. Wild camping *in vehicles* is prohibited - yes. However the same is *not* true for tents where the law explicitly makes allowances. From the Environmental Agency: "- Along public routes in inhabited areas, you may pitch a traditional camping tent for one night on uncultivated land, provided there is no campsite in the immediate vicinity and the land owner has not restricted or prohibited access, passage or stay within the area by means of signs on gates and walking paths. - Along public routes in uninhabited areas, you may pitch a traditional camping tent on privately owned land or national land. - Away from public routes, you may pitch a traditional camping tent, either on privately owned or national land, unless otherwise indicated in special rules which may be applicable to the land area in question."
