Brilliant Video
Thank you 👍
Replenish the fire wood you pair of leaches! People's lives could depend on it.
May 8th 2024
Thanks for a great drone 😂 vid. Fantastic views 🍻
You’re welcome 😂. Cheers 👍
Superb music, great vid.
Thank you 👍
quite a adventure... pleased you were lucky when you got to the car or it woulda been a long night.
Thank you , hopefully not to be repeated 🙏
good video but what's going on with that music?
Ah, I made this one especially for you though 👍. ruclips.net/video/QUQ23yEQgl4/видео.htmlsi=b9O_nskJdhdsnLOn
@@2FeetForward fair enough mate
Very nice, inspired and going to see too now, 🙏🏻👍
Thank you . There is another vid on our channel that shows a much easier route to the bothy albeit with a few river crossings which I would recommend over this one 👍
2024 and still loving your videos guys .God bless you both😊
Thank you 👍
What do you use to filter the water please?
A good boil if it’s fresh and clear , otherwise we wind a life straw onto the end of our Ortlieb water bag 👍
Marley a little mountain goat , bless him :)
Awesome video. Fair play.
Thank you 👍
@@2FeetForward I used to watch your camping videos, learned about the lanshan from you. Really enjoyed your videos but you seem to have stopped making them. Any plans for new videos?
To be honest I’ve probably 5 or 6 trips that I’ve videoed on the Mac but just can’t seem to find the time to edit any of them . That and the fact all my vlogging kit was stolen when we woke to a scumbag in the front of the camper in France 😡. The sod got our passports as well ! Once I replace all that there’s a good chance we’ll get uploading again 🤞. The Lanshan is still a great tent eh 👍
@@2FeetForward No way I'm so sorry to hear that, that's an experience no one wants. Well I'm glad you're still out there and doing stuff. I'll look forward to your videos when you get your shizzle together as I'm sure will lots of other people. Take care.
Such great vids. Why no new vids in lastt 2 years. 😊
Thank you . To be honest it’s just the time it takes for each video. What with grandkids and being on call with the new job it’s proved too difficult to find the time . I’ve got about 5 vids recorded but just can’t spare the time to edit them 👎 .
Glad you made it😊
Thank you 👍
Great video mate
Thank you 👍
Hope you three are all well! This is one of the best and most salutary YT videos about surviving snow. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much 👍
Great video well edited drone shots ,how did you get them so steady in the wind? Thank you
Thank you , to be honest , DJI deserve the credit for the drone shots . It keeps itself so stable in a reasonable wind it’s brilliant and this is the first model from back in 2016 👍
Hard as nails you three ❤
Thank you 👍
Just come across this via the search algorithm as it is. I always keep three days of food and water in my crash out kit (Go bag) which stays in the under boot of my car. Even if I venture out on a camp I still keep it replenished just in case. Never know when it will be needed. Usual kit inc. Fire starters and fero rod, spirit burner and billie can. 8 litres of water and comprehensive first aid ruck, that sort of thing. Brilliant video loved the drama of your adventure. Marly was the star of course!
Thank you , we carry enough in the boot to survive an apocalypse now lol 👍
😂 what a drama queen😂 I grew up in South Texas we get snow we get 40°C temperatures in the summer 😂 we get hurricanes. We get tornadoes that can level entire cities and here you are whining 😂 😂 about a little bit of snow in the winter time.😂
Your dad also slept with your auntie …….
00:04:45 careful what you wish for.....?
Snow! Exactly 😮
The only failure I can see in these bothies is the stove is inside the fireplace instead of outside it . If placed outside the chimney the room heats up quicker and heat is dispersed over a larger area . that is my view for all its worth.
Hey , I'm considering this path on the summer, with a small dog (use to montaging hiking) but is small none the less (mini dachs) The scrambling on the way down to the watking path seems un easy. would you rather recommend the Pyg Track for dog ?
There is only a couple of bits where you may have to help your pooch but they’re not bad to be honest . It really depends on how capable your dog is though . I would much rather take this route than the pig track any day , simply because it’s sooo much quieter but again , it all depends on your dogs capability. Maybe safer to stick to the pig track and try this one another time on your own 👍
@@2FeetForward Tank you, I guess if it's only like 15-20 min of steep scramble I can back pack her for those parts !
Yep and the climb is easy so she'll probably be able to do it all and you can just back pack her for the steep bits on the descent 👍
@@2FeetForward By the way did you do the Castell Y Gwynt trail?
Not that trail but we went up via Tryfan and Bristly Ridge a good few years ago . It was a great way up but not for the faint hearted. Lucy had a proper ‘moment’ at one point . There’s an old vid we did on here 👍
What happened to this channel? I would love to see it back. Was brilliant. Hope nothing bad.
Thank you ! No, nothing bad thank heavens but just couldn’t give it the time it deserved . What with new jobs and grandkids and being on call nowadays it’s been difficult to find the time to get the editing done . We have a good few trips recorded (one of which saw our van get broken into in France this year while we slept! ) but again it’s the editing time . Plus the sod nicked all my vlogging set up and our passports 😡. When funds allow we will hopefully put some more videos up but as for when we just can’t say 🤞
My favourite bloggers,where have you been?missing you
Thank you . Yes we’ve been very quiet, a couple of health issues haven’t helped but things are looking up now so fingers crossed 🤞. Atb Austin and Lucy.
@@2FeetForward No worries there is always hope guys.all will work out well.Hope to bump into you in Snowdonia one day .Dreams do come true .Thank you for your reply
Awesome video well done and thanks for sharing it with us All the best graham
Thank you Graham , it certainly was one to remember this one 👍. Take care , Austin and Lucy.
@@2FeetForward glad you all make it safe and well
i always come back to watch this
Thinner tyres actually work better in snow, you would let them down to go over mud :)
Aah , thanks 👍
this popped up on my feed, still amazing! and now it has 415K views!
Hi Lezley , thank you . I know it’s shocking how many views this one got ! Hope you’re well , cheers , Austin and Lucy .
Austin and lucy just watched your 2017 vid for cibyn Feb 11th 2017, what tent did you use guys?
Hello Glyn , that would be our Tera nova quasar , it’s one of the original ‘90s models . The last time I checked you could still get the uk made yellow and grey version from terra nova as well as the standard green ones but that was a good while ago now .I think the quasar was the first tent to withstand 100mph winds in a wind tunnel so it’s pretty bomb proof and the main reason we bought it . Cheers 👍.
@2FeetForward Awesome guys, thank you so much for getting back to me , love your channel , you guys are awesome, best channel on you tube, keep ip the good work.
Can you please take the kids out of the room? It's difficult to hear.
Just listen……
I find myself coming back to this video after a few years. It really is a great example of what can go wrong for campers..... even for those who are experienced! I noticed you have not uploaded for a few years. I hope you are healthy and fit and family are keeping well. Austin and Lucy, hope you read this message and someday upload again.
Thank you Pete. Yes we’re doing ok , although I am getting over a nasty bout of pneumonia at the moment but on the mend . Hope all is well with you and yours .I keep saying I’m going to start uploading again and even have a good few trips that we’ve filmed but just can’t seem to find the time to edit them . Then , on a recent van trip to Spain , I woke to find a dirty thief in the front of our van ! I dived at him but he grabbed Lucy’s handbag which had our passports in and the sod got my Sony vlogging camera 😡 so I haven’t been able to replace it since as funds won’t allow . Hopefully a GoPro 12 will give me the inspiration to start up again when I eventually get one , so watch this space 👍.
Many people died on that mountain Take care
No videos dor a while, i hope yous are good
We’re all good thanks , I did plan a vid of our last trip in the van to Spain but we were robbed at an overnight stop and the sod got my cameras 😡. Hopefully the insurance will pay up and I can replace it 🤞and start uploading again 🤞
Great video. Glad you were able to get out and didn’t have to eat Marley.👍
Lol, thanks 👍

What happened to your lastest video 2:28
Work and grandchildren I’m afraid . Recent van trip to Spain going up soon though 👍
So it did look nicer until scum took tables and break plastic chairs, burnt a bunch of things and ruined it, now its horrible :( still okay place to stay, but takes a few to ruin it for everyone! barely any chairs now and just a mess
Nooo ! A#seholes!
I really enjoyed watching this. You captured the scenery beautifully with your drone.
Thank you 👍
hi guy's were are you? not seen a new video for a long time, please update, loved your video's
Hi Mark . We recently decided to put vids up again and were going to video a trip we’ve just been on to Spain in the camper. Sadly we were robbed at a French aire and the b#stard got my Sony vlogging camera and microphone. We will put a vid up but it’s filmed on my old GoPro 4 . Needless to say it’ll be a little while until I sort out the funds for new camera . Keep an eye out for the Spain vid though (even if it is a bit shaky) 👍
Fantastic video thank you so much for posting this! I have scaled Yr Wyddfa twice via Crib Goch but both times it was covered in cloud and I did not realize what a scramble it is in parts! The only other walk I have done was the Llanberis track on a very clear day and the views were simply amazing.
Thanks 👍. It really is a stunning place on a clear day !
Hi guys was just wondering what's happened not seen you both on here for a bit hope all is well hopefully your both be back very soon
Hi Matt, we’ve been off for so long I don’t get notifications on comments now lol. It’s been all work and grandkids for us I’m afraid . We have been getting away in the camper but just not videoing it. I decided to video our two week trip to Spain a couple of weeks ago but we woke to a bastard in the front of the van at 3am on the second night . He bolted with Lucy’s handbag and my vlogging camera , the handbag had our passports in 😡😡. I did video the trip but unfortunately on my old wobbly GoPro 4 black so I’ll see if I can salvage anything decent 🤞. Hope all is well with you and hopefully I’ll get a shaker vid up soon 👍
Well done lads 👏 Me and a few mates did it around October 2021. We didn't have a clue what we were doing 😅 and decided to go across crib Goch...😂😂 It were TERRIFYING
Thank you 👍 it’s definitely one to remember for sure !
Thank you for this amazing video. I applaud your decision not to put your dog in such circumstances again. Subscribed.
Thank you 👍
