SUB-ZERO -9.9 WHITEOUT ! WINTER BLIZZARD MOUNTAIN CAMPING IN THE HILLEBERG SOULO BLACK LABEL TENT

In this video, I head out on an epic winter wild camp on the summit of Y Foel Goch (2,641 ft) in Eryri National Park. Using the Hilleberg Soulo Black Label tent, a four-season solo shelter that can withstand the harshest weather conditions. Watch as I brave the blizzard conditions with whiteouts and freezing temperatures down to minus 9 degrees celsius in the wind. The hike in was brutal, taking in the summit of Gallt Yr Ogof first at (2,503 ft) before dropping down to the majestic col before Foel Goch. This was a true test of survival and endurance in the wild, in an area I have never hiked, let alone camped; with whiteout conditions on the descent requiring careful navigation skills. A few fine craft beers and a mini bottle of red saw the perfect end to a birthday wild camping celebration as I turn 42 on the day this video releases! The stunning scenery of the majestic Glyderau was dressed in a perfect winter coat of snow and ice - this was the best wild camp that I have ever experienced! I know this video is 'long' for YouTube - but I didn't want to cut out the fantastic experience and want to keep the memories for when I'm not able to do this anymore.

    There's something magical about getting out of the bad weather in a tent you trust. Once you put that lantern on, the outside world can do it's thing and be damned.
  • Went to my local supplier in November, Climbers Shop, Ambleside. Thought i would replace the Mountain Equipment shell I had on, circa 2002 for a new one! Matey said! WHY!! There’s nothing wrong with that one! Did not expect that response! And saved £300. Thank you for inviting me to your birthday celebration. Enjoyed the occasion with a can of Brew Dog Double Hazy Jane! Cheers Mate, Happy birthday. Xx

    Just returned from a winter trip in Sweden. We slept three days in our tents in similar conditions. Your video shows what this all is about. Thanks❤

    I've followed the channel for many years now Chris. I've watched camps in the lakes, the pennine moors and enjoyed the Halloween specials on pendle hill and October camps with the lads. I've enjoyed gear reviews and made a few purchases thanks to mcm outdoors. We've all watched you go through hard times and come out the other side and watched nostalgic walks from your childhood where you talk about mindfulness and have no doubt helped and inspired people not to mention you getting out with your kids and other youtubers. I've sat in on the live chats and asked questions. I have to say though that this video was probably my favourite mcm video yet. It had everything. The build up and walk to the camp and the sense of relaxation when you pitched up really came across. That morning....wow, I got a bit emotional to be honest. Keep up the good work and a very happy birthday mate.

    Crushed it. I'm not ashamed to admit that I used a tissue to wipe my eye when I watched. Your heart and soul were in every frame of this video. Thank you so much.
