Great video great advice

Great video mate. I've been looking at buying a tent and getting my self out there.

My first tent was a WWII pup tent used in the 1950's. Cooking, eating and drinking gear was an old boy scout aluminum mess kit with water held in an old WWII canteen. Sleeping gear was army blanket with canvas on the ground. My pillow was my clothes rolled up around my shoes.

@@holmesaway don't know. Never weighed it, just carried it,but it weighed less than the 50 and 100 lb feed sacks I carried.

Still using a mountain warehouse down bag I paid 69 quid for. I use it like a quilt for me and dog in all but winter weather, top vid and inspirational for young peeps wanting a start, top man🙌

Mate, watching you smash up those Super noodles was painful! Great video BTW! Not been out wild camping from last year, only been to sites so far. This is inspiring me to get up the Mournes for an epic hike and camp!

If she’s fuming then get out of her hair for a night and go camping. She can’t be angry with you if you ain’t there 😜

Thank you mate. It’s amazing what you can get for the money. There’s even cheaper options out there and second hand stuff is always worth a look if it’s been looked after 👍🏻

I bought that bag but the 35 I found it just a touch to small

Great video. Two questions please: How safe is that car park for staying over night? Where can you get the Nescafé sachets, I can't seem to find multipacks anywhere

Thanks for watching. I’ve left my car there loads of times with no problems. There is a national trust car park a few hundred yards down the road if you prefer but that’s £7.50 a day unless you’re a NT member. Both are fine, the only reason I use the Storey Arms spot is because it’s the right side of the road for me to head up that side of the valley. I’m sure I got the coffee in B&M. I bought a case about 6 months ago so I’ve got about 100 of them in the cupboard 😂😂

Good choices. Except 25 litre backpack? 😮

I had to get something cheaper for the challenge and it was the cheapest bag I could find with hip straps. I was really impressed with it though 👍🏻

What was the total weight of the bag
