Hi I'm Adam and welcome to first man photography now as you know last week
myself and Gary Gough hiked up this mountain and filmed a vlog and it was
it's been so far an incredible day but we're wild camping, we are taking
photographs and vlogging so we're carrying a lot of gear so I thought it
would be pretty useful to you and you'd find it interesting to see what exactly
I've got in my camera bag and it is a wild camping edition
first thing I have is the tents that's right on the top that is an OEX Phoxx Evolution
one it's a nice tent I shall set it up in a minute in a fine time-lapse fashion
for you but I've got walking poles on the side here and they're pretty handy
for all sorts of things when you're camping you can stake him into the
ground and use them as a tent pole and you can use them as walking sticks as
well so they're pretty handy when you're out on a warm sunny day like today it
does still get cold at night so you need clothing which I shall be putting on
in a minute. I've got this hoody which isn't very interesting though where should we start right let's go
into this bit here now we'll talk about the camping stuff first before we talk
about the actual camera gear because I have had to make some sacrifices with
the camera gear so first and foremost you gonna need a ground sheet of some
description it's a self inflating one it's 3/4 length so it's a bit smaller
and you're gonna need that because of this hard rocky ground you're not gonna
get a good night's sleep even with a tent food obviously a inflatable pillow
water. We'll talk a bit more about water in a minute and I've got these military-style ration packs
which I shall be cooking up very shortly I've then got a cooking pot and a stove
inside there as well nice and compact that's what you need for this sort of
thing I knew it wasn't gonna be very windy so I did not want to sacrifice the
drone you will have seen probably already some drone footage that I've
taken and just unbelievable unbelievable drone footage in this sort of weather
you don't often get to fly drones this high up. I'm at nine hundred metres at
the moment with just this stunning view behind me so yeah that's that what else
have we got here this now water if you are camping it's really really difficult
to carry enough water to get you through on a hot day like this you're gonna need
a lot so I've got this little squeezy thing here you put this
end into the water and then it squeezes out water relatively fresh drinkable
water out the other side didn't take viruses out but it does take bacteria
out and you can literally drink it straight from the stream so that is
extremely handy.... water..... i've got a tea towel....ahhh... tissue I've got a tea towel because you
might need to dry something off if it rains at any point then I've got a hat
because it might get cold and I've got a warm coat in there which I'm not going
to get out at the moment because it's just so beautiful I might need that in the night though.
Right, camera gear..... the bag is so heavy it weighed about 20 kilos today when I
had all the water and food on board and it was really really difficult getting
up here with this and that's one of the problems with filming and taking
photographs and wild camping at the same time however it's been worth it right
camera gear with this f-stop bag it gets it all in..... I have had to make some
sacrifices today with the camera gear normally take.... I like to have as many
lenses that possibly can carry with all ranges from seventeen
millimeters right up to 200 so what I've done because I knew I wanted to capture
this scene behind me is I have sacrificed the 24-70mm lens so I've got the
Canon 5d Mark 4 with the 17 to 40 millimeter lens on there at the moment
and I also have the 70 to 200 I think this is going to come in very handy
while I'm up here because just getting close tight in on those mountains is
gonna be what I'm gonna do I think that's gonna be the tool for that.... GoPro
very small and light easy to carry around and then I've got extra batteries
adding weight, i've got microphones, extra batteries for the drone which
funnily enough I need to plug in if I'm going to fly the drone at some point
soon let's do that I've got a couple of filters and then extra drone batteries
and I've got a bit of coffee to make a hot drink if you're wild camping like
this, especially if it's cold, getting the stove on and having a hot drink can
really lift the spirits and keep you going I've got a bit of sugar and a bit
of salt in there as well just in case. Tripod as well, that adds weight the
cameras on tripod now I have traveled as light as I
possibly can so.........
and that's it nice and cozy that is where I'll be sleeping tonight sleeping
bag, pillow, a little tea towel to cover the pillow....it's a bit softer, ground mat because of this hard
rocky ground and then the bag will fit in that space there.....
we are going to be spending the evening
or the night with this view here and it's just magical, absolutely magical we've
got our two tents setup there, looks like fun doesn't it so we're gonna get a few
pictures taken I think because the light is just starting to come into golden
hour time then we'll get a pot on, have some dinner and get up nice and early
for the sunrise because it's really misty
I'm really really hopeful that that is going to sink into the valley and
we'll get, we'll wake up to something quite spectacular but if you want to see that
you need to watch again on Sunday..... wild camping, heavy, but it's worth it in the
end it's gonna be a good night. Few midges around hopefully the wind will blow them
away but ........i'm excited basically so give it a try be mindful of your surroundings it's
not strictly speaking legal to wild camp so just bear that in mind you need to be
respectful to surroundings respectful to other people who want to enjoy this
scenery whether they're camping or not that's it's just the most quick video
for a Wednesday. I want to start putting more videos out
like this please do subscribe to the channel if you haven't done so already
and make sure you watch that video on Sunday becuase...... oh I'm excited about the
morning right I'm Adam this is first man photography in
the stunning lake district.
