Coming Soon: A Windy 2 Day hiking and wild camping adventure in the Lake District. The winds picked up rapidly early in the morning.

We spent the week in an abandoned quarry at Rivendale Lodges, testing whether a high-end quarry stay is actually worth the hype, or if it's just clever marketing.

I have NEVER seen anything like this before and neither have you!!!

Ever wondered if it's possible cross an entire National park in a straight line? Well, I attempt to cross the New Forest National Park as the crow flies. I battle through dense forests, deep bogs and mile upon mile of bare open heathland. With just one goal - Walk 15 miles in a straight line.

I'm back in Snowdonia National Park to go wild camping. After me previous wild camping fail, I'm determined to complete a great wild camp. Eryri is a stunning place, with large mountains and spectacular views, but the forecast can change with little notice.

Following the video I made on pot sleeves I had comments on my blog from BackpackBirder about pot cosies that set me thinking. I used to use cosies and then I stopped as I didn't feel I really needed one. However thinking about it I decided that that one would be useful again in cold weather, especially with 5 Minute to Delhi meals that need to stand a while to hydrate, so I made one for my favourite Fire Maple pot. It's rather makeshift and thicker insulation would probably be better so I expect I'll make a better one but it'll do for now.

I bet that’s the first time you’ve seen someone enjoy a lil Dicki to the Polish National Anthem. (Filmed pre-surgery)

The Mountain Hardwear Trango 2 has been around for decades and has built a serious reputation as a bombproof, expedition-capable four-season tent. But is it still as good as its reputation suggests?

Join us as we hike the @FjallravenOfficial Classic UK 2026. A celebration of hiking, nature, adventure and the community that brings like-minded people together to explore the best of the Lake District.

When you're out in the mountains, knowing how to reach the summit is only half the journey... knowing how to make the right decisions is what really matters. For years I've planned every mountain day for my son Lewis – choosing the route, checking the weather, packing the gear and navigating across the hills. This time, everything changes. Lewis takes responsibility for the entire day. From planning the route at home to navigating on the hill, making decisions, judging the terrain and leading us safely through the Scottish mountains, I step back and let him take the lead. There's an old proverb that says: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." The same applies in the mountains. If you've ever introduced someone to hiking, hill walking or mountaineering, you'll know that one of the greatest rewards is watching them become capable enough to lead the way themselves.

I finally managed to get out to the beautiful Shropshire Hills with my mate Chris for a wild camp, pitching the Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo tent to see how it handles the summit conditions. We enjoyed a stunning sunset and cooked up some noodles on the MSR Pocket Rocket Deluxe before the weather completely turned on us overnight. Despite the heavy winds and morning rain, the gear held up perfectly, and the sun even made a brief appearance just in time for the walk back down.

Join me for a spot of magnet fishing, a few boat updates and a night sleeping in the cabin at a mooring. EXPAND FOR LINKS & DETAILS:

Today Luke is previewing a new backpack from NatureHike - this pack has EVERY feature that you can imagine plus some which you likely haven't seen before.

I headed into the Lake District mountains for my September wild camp.

I headed out with Andy on a wild camping trip straight up from Sedbergh into the stunning Howgill Fells in the Yorkshire Dales, hauling my backpack up the steep slopes to find a sheltered summit pitch. Testing out my homemade dehydrated meal for dinner, we pitched our shelters—taking shelter in the Durston X-Mid and Hilleberg Enan—while enjoying dramatic crepuscular rays and an incredible morning cloud inversion before packing down. It turned out to be a brilliant wild camp in the Yorkshire Dales before heading off to Staveley to test new gear.

Solo hiking the Kungsleden (King's Trail), Sweden's legendary long-distance trail through Swedish Lapland and the Arctic Circle. After ten years of dreaming about this hike, I finally set off alone on a 21 day, 460km journey from Abisko to Hemavan, walking through Sápmi, home of the Sami people, and some of the last true wilderness left in Europe.

It's been a busy and hectic summer at Whisky and the Wild. I decided to make this video and talk about a few things related to this channel that have happened in my life recently.

In today's video I will be discussing an interesting topic.. what constitutes cheating in the mountains? Let me know in the comments! . . . .

This is the Outask Lantern and it's one of the best outdoor products that I have EVER used.

What if one jacket could solve the constant stop-start of adding and removing layers when moving in the mountains? That's exactly what Patagonia set out to achieve with the new Nano-Air Light Hoody, one of the most exciting insulation launches of Autumn/Winter 2026.

Ever caught yourself ‘going with the flow’ or agreeing to decisions that made you uncomfortable to avoid conflict? Conformity can be a silent trap many fall into and in the backcountry, this can lead to unnecessary risk.

It's natural to defer to someone who we assume is an expert, this can easily be mistaken for the loudest or most confident person. In the backcountry, blindly following someone who is the perceived expert can lead to unnecessary risks.

This is a hospital… for outdoor clothing.

In this adventure, Luke is camping in a very unique cot tent when storms develop overhead.

Is this the only solo backpacking tent you'll ever need? Quite possibly. This is the new 2026 Terra Nova Southern Cross 1 tent. This 1 person tent has been massively improved with more space, more features and a higher specification.

Good outdoor gear doesn’t have to cost over £100, and the Keela Dunlin is a good example of why.

A Summit Camp on a mountain that was one of my first ever Munros got me thinking about how we as hikers can evolve through time and the other things that change as we evolve too.

Tempting but scary. This project put me totally out of my comfort zone. I decided to explore a small Scottish island with a long and rich history but currently abandoned and uninhabited by humans. Surrounded by seals and dolphins on the sea and ruins, birds and stunning views on the island I totally enjoyed this mini - expedition.

In the backcountry commitment can look like continuing on your journey just because you spent time, energy, money or you just really want to get there. The stronger the commitment to the goal or objective, the harder it can be to turn around leading to unnecessary risks and potentially tragic outcomes.

Ever seen someone else doing something and thought ‘well if they’re doing it, it must be safe?’ This is referred to as social proof, making decisions based on the presence or decisions made by others rather than making your own assessment of the situation.

Have you ever experienced FOMO? The fear of missing out can lead us to making spontaneous decisions but in the backcountry, the scarcity mindset can lead you to being in the wrong place at the wrong time and facing unnecessarily high risks.

Tramping the same route, skiing the same line or hunting the same area sounds like a good idea, right? Humans are creatures of habit, we like repeatable, comfortable patterns but in the backcountry, relying on past experiences or going on autopilot because we think we know a place or situation can lead you to fall for the familiarity trap and put you at greater risk.

Today in this episode, Luke is taking a look at a camp table that is unlike any that he has ever seen before.

I recently took my favourite single-hooped tunnel tent, the Hilleberg Enan, and figured out a few cheap modifications for making the tent better on the trail. By upgrading to a thicker 10mm pole and attaching lightweight metal rings with Dyneema cord, I gave the peg-out points much more flexibility, which is an essential feature for wild camping tents pitched on tricky or rocky ground. I also added a neat little ring to the door tie-back, making it super quick to secure without adding any noticeable weight to my pack.

I was curious about whether neoprene pot sleeves make any difference so I did a little test. I boiled water in the same pot with and without a sleeve and noted the time taken and how quickly the water cooled afterwards.

Today in this sobering episode, Luke is discussing an event that took place recently while camping in a National Forest.

Fire Maple has launched a version of the Titanium Ultralight Backpack Stove with a preheat tube to make it suitable for freezing weather. This is my first look at it. I'll be testing it as soon as the weather is cold enough.

What a wild camping disaster. I never thought I'd bail on a wild camp. I've been camping in all sorts of conditions over the years and although it's come close I've never bailed.

⚡️ Join me on a hike up Slioch, for my friend Lee's final Munro, taking him 12 years to complete his munro bagging journey. The weather was kind to us to begin with, but further up the conditions began to deteriorate, the wind picked up and it was a tad wet! Typical Munro completion weather?

Hello top shaggers! welcome back to the channel.

It's been ten years since I uploaded my first wild camping video, so I wanted to sit down and reflect on how much the YouTube scene has changed. In this video, I share my honest thoughts on the niche's current oversaturation, the relentless push for new gear, and the frustrating rise of clickbait thumbnails over genuine outdoor connection. Let me know your thoughts on the state of wild camping on YouTube and drop your favorite authentic channel recommendations in the comments!

After years of hikes, scrambles, travel and everyday wear, Josh's Rab Microlight Alpine was looking pretty rough. Rips, stains, leaking down... the sort of damage that usually sends a jacket into retirement.

A wander up Meall a' Bhuachaille with a view of some of the damage from the recent Abernethy-Ryvoan fire and then a windy camp with a look at the tent, lamp/pump & other gear, including disintegrating trousers!

In this adventure Luke is heading in the backcountry far from anyone and he's taking with him a minimal load out consisting of only a hammock and a wood stove.

Today Luke is showing off one of the weirdest tents that you have ever seen!

⚡️ In today’s video, we head off on a two-day hiking adventure in the Scottish mountains, with two very different nights along the way.

I attempted to walk, scramble and swim, accompanied with my three dogs, along the entire west coast of isle of Jura in Scotland. 55 miles in three days of beautiful, wild and uninhabited but also rough pathless terrain. From Feolin to Ardlussa over Ruantallain, Glengarrisdale and Corryvreckan. Part two.

In this episode Luke is taking a look at an exceptionally expensive sleeping bag from a company known as Kelty.

Mount Snowdon is busier than ever. If you want to enjoy hiking snowdon, you must check out this hiking trail. Yr Wyddfa is becoming increasing popular due to social media. The usual routes like Crib Goch, Pyg Track, Miners Path, Watkins Path and Llanberis Path are extremely busy with hikers.

NORTENT VARDE 2 — BEAUTY OR BEAST? There are plenty of words I could use to describe the NORTENT Varde 2… but which ONE word really sums this four-season shelter up? Is it a BEAUTY — beautifully designed, versatile, spacious and packed with clever features? Or is there a BEAST hiding underneath that good-looking exterior? In this video, I put the NORTENT Varde 2 through my usual detailed assessment to find out exactly what this tent is all about. I’ll be looking closely at the design, build quality, pitching, space, ventilation, practicality, weather protection, wind stability, weight, features and overall performance, as well as those little details that can make a big difference when you're actually living in a tent rather than simply looking at it on a website. The Varde 2 is designed as a genuine four-season tent for two people, with two generous vestibules, multiple ventilation options and the ability to be double-poled when conditions really start to deteriorate. But specifications only tell you so much… What is the one word I'd use to describe the NORTENT Varde 2? Beauty? Beast? Or perhaps something completely different… Watch to the end to find out! 🏕️ #NortentVarde2 #Nortent #FourSeasonTent #WildCamping #Camping #Hiking #TentReview #OutdoorGear #TentTesting #WildCampingUK
