Wow great video Chris! Nice to see you back in the peak district! We love that Ridge stone path with all the tors on the way, we must get back to the peaks soon🥰.

After seeing my private chiropractor who I see anyway, hospitals, x-rays etc I think im hopefully on the road to recovery now....again. Really glad that you enjoyed this video mate and they are giving you some inspiration!! 😃🙏🏼🙏🏼 You should definitely get back out when you can mate I love your videos! Ahh THANK YOU so much for the very kind words and glad you can see some progression 👍🏻 I tried a couple of different filming 'techniques' so to speak in this one and my St Sunday Crag summit camp video to see how people responded and they seem to have liked it so will continue to experiment, but also keep it simple at the same time. Would be so cool if I got to 1000 subs 😁 Ill be back out soon I hope so thank you for your patience in the mean time.

This sea to summit pad is SO comfy and so bloody warm I litterally felt like I was lying in my bed with the heating on. Worth every single penny by far and definitely worth the large pack size too, no wonder its absolutely ruined everything else in reviews. Not the cheapest though and even more for the rectangular one I got. Sleeping bag is awesome too mate combined with the pad im ready for some frosty ones this winter 👌🏻 The self heating bags are awesome mate, dont need any gas or a stove, save sooooo much weight and only need 60ml of water to boil for 12 mins plus. I know someone that did the coast 2 coast over two weeks and the west highland way over 7 days with them. Plus they are used in some regiments in the military 👌🏻 100% bang on as back ups, especially if you find your own food too like MRE meals 😉 you can buy just the bags on their own.

Just read your comment on Trev's winter load out vid, thought I'd have a gander. Great video, thank you. Im new to all this and got a mish mash of new and brought cheap gear. But I was amazed to see size of your bag and mat, and you get it all in your pack. I have a brought cheap Atmos 50AG bag version where top lid does not clip off. Lovely bag but heavy. What bag do you use.

Hey!! Oh cool, well thank you so very much for heading over to my channel to check out my video 😊🙏🏼 I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed it! Haha well that exact bag ive got in that video is an Osprey Atmos 50L AG 🤣🤣 got all that in and would have still have room for a few beers and few other bits. I did have a stove in there too incase I wanted a coffee but tested out that self heating meal as you saw. It is hard trying to figure it all out especially when you're new to all this and it definitely helps the way you put things in and the order too for sure. You say your Atmos AG lid doesn't clip off?? I had my top part on anyway with my water filter, first aid kit, and other bits in there which I dont think I used any of 🤣 apart from the spork. Thank you so much again for checking out my video and realy hope to see you again 😃 Take care and ATB... Chris ✌🏼⛰🏕💚

@@whatsnottohike hi mate! Yeah it is a bulky pack size, but then again all winter gear is in any case. Definitely 100% worth the size though for how comfy and warm it is!! Combined with the Rab bag I felt like I was lying in my bed with the heating on 🤣🤣 Those bags are awesome and definitely good to have as back ups incase you run out of gas or are on a multi day hike and want to save weight. I know someone that did the coast 2 coast over 2 weeks and the west highland way over 7 days using the bags 👍🏻 Plus certain Military regiments have them too as back ups. Think you can get the bags on their own from somewhere and you could use your own meal then. Thanks for watching as always! Chris ✌🏼

If you're going to get a gopro get the hero 10 (if you want some of the new features) and miss the hero 9 out! If you dont want to bother with 4k and all the mad frame rates etc though then you could save some money and get the hero 8, awesome camera that! Talking of recording in 1080p HD when you crop in on the 360 to make it 'full screen' and not the mad fish eye then it crops it to only 1080p, if that's something that doesn't bother you then could be a good shout, loads of cool options and effects you can do. I might get a DJI pocket 2 aswell some awesome features on those 👌🏻

Great video. Is that another cap you have? It looks a different colour or am I imagining things🤣. My mate swears but those self heat bags I have never used them myself though.

Haha brilliant!!! Thanks mate really glad you liked it... The Rab 1100 is an awesome bag and especiallyif you got it cheaper, I was going to get that last year as I was using my Klymit Insulated pad with the Rab 900, which I got for £200 so bargain. It was about Feb though when I was thinking of this so thought ill hold off. Now this new sea to summit pad is out I thouht id just get that as I wont need such a warm bag. The pad is good for -8°c / -10°c and the bag has a limit of -18°c so combined I dont think ill need anymore in this country. I litterally felt like I was in my bed with the heating on it was so warm and comfy. I know someone that was at Everest base camp with the Rab 900 too and they were sound haha. Gotta make sure you're warm! Roll on snowy and frosty summit camps in the Lakes 👌🏻👌🏻 Thanks so much for watching as always!! Take care pal... Chris ✌🏼

Hi Craig!! Thanks for watching my video mate... yeah its the regular wide and it is a large packsize yeah, but the warmth and the comfort... Oh...My...God! Definitely trumps the packsize! If its any help I can still get that, my Rab Ascent 900 and ALL my winter gear, extra clothes etc in my Atmos 50L AG pack with a little room to spare too. Did try a Thermarest Neoair Xtherm off my mate as I was going to get one of those, its about the same warmth, lovely and toasty, but not on the same level for comfort imo. Litterally depends on your kit and how you pack whether that packsize would be too much. If it would then id definitely look at the Neoair Xtherm as that is a little smaller and a bangin pad 👍🏻👍🏻 ATB mate.... Chris ✌🏼

They'll come mate your vids are well cool 😎 👌🏻 Yeah I do love the 9 when it works, had the 7 and 8 before for something else but sold them when I decided to start this channel. Id say the 10 is obviously the best Gopro out there but may have a load of features you wont even use, like the 5.3K and crazy fps. Then again you might do. Only think that edges me towards it is the new GP2 chip. Basically they changed the internals from the 9 and dont think it could cope with some of the new features. Seems to be solved with the 10. Id definitely skip the 9 just cus of how many people have had issues but if you wanted to save a bit of money then the hero 8 is absolutely fantastic camera!!

Great vid..cheers Chris....just had a look at them meals....a tenner for less than 500 calories and there are E numbers in there ...seems really steep..... and not the healthiest of meals....i think there muct be a market for high calorie and higher nutrionally value meals out there ....i think for an over nighter chilled out with a few of your favorite sluggers is fine but if you was on a multiple nighter you would be pretty hungry and not sleeping solid on meals that are so light in calories....i dont weant to sound negative but be very careful mate when pitching your tent directly below a crag below a crag sheep as well as humans have been known to fall off these things in heavy winds...personally i wouldnt mind if one landed on my head but not my Frilley Berg.

Hi!! Yeah they are more expensive than the standard boil in the bag meals, but you use way less water and save £3 - £4 on gas leaving it boiling for 12 mins so doesnt work out too much different. You're right though you can get better meals to use and think you can buy the self heating bags on their own. Would definitely be good to have some of the bags as back up or if you wanted to save weight on a multi day hike as you dont need and gas or stove. I know someone that used the bags on their coast to coast trip over 2 weeks and the west highland way over 7 days, they swear by them. Find a meal that suits your needs more that you can boil and you have a winner 😁😁👍🏻 Thanks mate, this wasn't a crag though just a little outcrop, sheep are sometimes round there but they had been taken off this location for a few days as the Gamekeepers are doing some controlled fires with the heather untill tomorrow, so they got rounded up👍🏻👍🏻 Ive been to this spot about 7 or 8 times now but would definitely be very mindful in where I pitch for sure in certain areas.
