What a unique adventure! Well done Annie and Frankie!

@charlesrobert9527 Год назад

That was awesome. Not heard of swim packing before but I think I can appreciate the appeal. Definitely niche!

@EmmaSingleton-jx8mk Год назад

I love this!! Especially the smile on her face through out, it's infectious. Would love to give it a try!

@TheAndyCorkill Год назад

Wow, Looks amazing… on my list now for next year 👍

@AspenandEmery Год назад

This is so cool!! I love the idea of getting out to a spot off the grid. Never would have thought to swim with a bag!

@akaben63 Год назад

Fantastic, love open water swimming this never occurred to me, and your hair is amazing.

@wildconnectionsphotography Год назад

What a fantastic film. I think I would try this in summer. Winter... I'm not so sure. Absolute respect to Annie.

@richardgriggs5292 Год назад

I do this quite a bit, I've done Windermere, and Loch Ness like this but I take an inflatable kayak and tow that, it's nice to do a bit of both, brilliant way to get to see these beautiful places x

@stuartbaird3981 Год назад

Nice swim and camp. The ruckraft is an extra hassle you don't need, can just tow the drybag. Unless it doubles up as a pillow :)

@ambulowan 9 месяцев назад

What about drag? A ruckraft reduces the drag.

Love the idea of doing this. I was fascinated to see how little gear was packed - just my open-water swimming gear usually takes up more bags than that alone 🤣 Brilliant to watch though and it takes you to some fabulous wild camping spots! Putting already cold and wet swimming gear on the next day is something I just couldn't face. I'm far too much of a comfort-wimp!

nice idea...I´ll do that next year for a weekend off...if my wife agrees, that is

@beyondbrecon7443 Год назад

First time hearing about this swim packing. Definitely looks like a fun adventure but I'd definitely rather do it as a group. I guess finding others to do it is difficult. Seems like something I would like to try just once for fun.

@sarahweeks8400 4 месяца назад

An amazing adventure but I wonder if you might treat yourself to a very lightweight one man tent - just to wake up dry :)

@andydt82 Год назад

I’m surprised at all the negative and “helpful “ comments - looks a fun micro adventure and there’s great value in doing things your own way rather than the easy/comfortable way

@Tokahfang Год назад

Very cool! I am wondering why you wouldn't wear neoprene foot thingies of some kind? I use booties because I'm a rafter, but they come with fin attachment points so there must be some swimmers and divers using them too.

I have a stand up paddle board. I always wanted to have a setup where I do maybe 10K swim, then 10K hike but the paddle board is too heavy to carry for hiking, Maybe this is the solution. I should sell my board and buy this gear instead.

@niallcook3957 Год назад

Looks like the island in Swallows & Amazons 👍

@travelvideos Год назад

Nice! What is bike raft ?

@macmurfy2jka Год назад

Interesting

@opindras.bangerh129 Год назад

Looks really fun but I wouldn't walk into English water bare foot... no way! You could step on anything sharp and dangerous. Wear some footwear, old trainers or swim socks/shoes, for some protection at least.

@roystonjeeves5684 Год назад

looks like a very effective way to get hypothermia , boats were invented for a reason.

@micahdavis214 Год назад

Get a kayak stay dry and pack more gear

@AspenandEmery Год назад

🤣 I think that defeats the purpose

@micahdavis214 Год назад

@@AspenandEmery what not risking hyperthermia on a camp I say that defeats the purpose wouldn't you 😉

@AspenandEmery Год назад

@@micahdavis214 I mean I get your point.. but if she wanted to kayak to an island and then camp she probably would have… this was a methodical choice

@micahdavis214 Год назад

@@AspenandEmery to anybody watching and thinking of trying it a kayak would be a much safer option. To land on an island to wildcamp needing to warm up and survive the night and have no way of getting back other than getting cold again seems wreckless and a good way to get in I need help situation.

@micahdavis214 Год назад

No disrespect to you it just seems a daft activity to promote

@timthompson8445 Год назад

BMC.... how does this fit alongside your environment and access policy?? This video shows and promotes wild camping in a place that is already seriously damaged by this exact activity... It didn't show the toilet roll... Remnants of fires... Litter from cooking... Cut down trees and stripped bark.
