I second your comments 😊

A couple of quick tips 🧐1 A piece of j-cloth in the bottom of your pot to prevent stains 👍 2 A sea to summit air chair to properly convert your mat in to a chair.👌 All the best to you and Jo for 2024 😉

.. Similar comment , wrap a bandana around the canister before putting in pot , can also be used for cleanup ,,,, or put canister in upside down , add stove and lighter on top ..

Another option for the canister is to cover that bottom lip in a thin strip of black electrical tape.

@@rockytopwrangler2069 That's exactly want I do the gas cannister upside down with the J-cloth to protect the pot and stop the cannister from rattling small lighter in the concave of the gas cannister just incase the the piezo inigtor doesn't work on my soto windmaster 👌😉

Wow I know it's late when I had read last half of your comment 3 times because I read the 1st as banana, not bandana 🙈😂​@@rockytopwrangler2069

Wishing you & Jo all the very Best for 2024. 🍾 🥂

In case you want to modify your Unna: there is a company in Berlin called outdoor-service. They make repairs and modifications on Hilleberg tents. Of course they are certified by Hilleberg and use only original materials. They modified my Unna front door so that I can now choose between fully mesh on the front door or fully original fabric. So the complete front door now can be mesh what gives you the feeling of literally sitting outside.

I put a piece of cloth between the gas canister and the cup to stop the rust appearing. Cloth is useful to clean etc and works well to stop the rust and gas hitting the cup around while hiking.

Great to see you doing a gear video - missed them! You've been my main channel for getting into wild camping this year, thanks for your great vids.

Wonderful vids this year. Thanks. Happy new year.

Have a great new year Paul. Looking forward to more of those gorgeous views.

All the best to you and your family Paul, keep up the great work! 🎉

Thanks Paul. Some very good suggestions for gear.

Fabulous. Thank you for doing the adventures that I can't do right now. Happy New Year to you and Jo.

Nice one! Loved all the different gear! Happy New Year!

Hey Paul, I’d really be interested to know more about the boots you use, especially when you say about the relief for your knees and hips. Anyway thanks for all the entertainment you’ve provided this year and all the best for 2024!

Thanks Paul for your informative videos during 2023. We’ve enjoyed them all. Best wishes for 2024 and all the adventures to come.

Thanks for everything you are doing for the outdoor community and for taking us on so many adventures during 2023. Happy New Year to you and your better half. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃

Thank you for all your videos throughout the last year. Wishing you, Jo and your family a happy new year, looking forward to all your new videos and podcast in 2024.

Thanks for the videos in 2023 Paul.. Happy new year 🎉

Happy New Year Paul - thanks for your company in 2023 and looking forward to sharing your journeys in 2024

You and Jo are just lovely folks (at least what we can see of you both). Thanks so much for taking the time to put these videos together to share with us. I have been watching you long enough to know you had a bit of a dark spell with it, and (selfishly) I'm quite glad you pushed on and I feel like your content is better than ever. We need to get you across the pond; you should come visit Colorado and we'll show you around, and maybe do some 'overlanding'. Be well mate. I hope you both have an absolutely stellar year coming!

Thank you Paul, fab video and will help me for first wild camp planned for 2024! Happy New Year. Please keep the great content coming ! 🎉

Great job Paul and all the best, many thanks

Have a fantastic 2024 you and Jo and I can’t wait for all the coming year and content, thanks for all your 2023 videos mate, cheers ! 😄

Have a great New Year Paul and look forward to seeing you in 2024! Love to you and Jo from Brum!👍🏼

Thank you for all your awesome videos Paul. I like your down to earth presentation and stories. Wishing you and Jo a happy New Year and that 2024 will be a great year for you and your family.

Big thanks for been out there. All the best for the New Yeay 😊

Happy Happy New Year Paul and Fam😊🎉🍻Cheers ❤from Michigan

Paul, I have enjoyed watching you and look for many more videos in the coming years. Nemo has a new pad out. It's expensive but supposed to be the warmest and comfortable too. Another quilt company that has a setup like bringing your own bed is called Zenbivy. I have the synthetic one. Happy New Year to you and your family from the US.

Thank you nice video, happy new year, 8-)

Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. I wish you and Jo all the best and I look forward to seeing your adventures in the new year. All the best 🍻

I'm thoroughly enjoying this! Keep creating more content, Paul! 👏😊

Cheers Paul, happy new year!!!

Informative, Inspirational & Enjoyable - a channel far ahead of ITV - thanks Paul

Cheers Paul! Good luck on your 2024 adventures!

Another brilliant inspirational year paul cheers marra for all the videos all the best to you and jo 👍

Happy 2024 to you and the family and I hope to meet you out on the hills as I start my ventures to say thanks in person for the advice thats been given over the countless videos and reviews.

To stop the rust from the canister I stuff it in an old ankle sock, works a treat

You are such a great guy! I have learned so much from you. Thanks. May you and your wife have a happy 2024!

Hi Paul another great year. Of your Great adventures . Keep them coming . Happy New Year to You and Yours.🎉 🎉 🎉🎉 ❤

Happy New Year Paul, hope you and Jo have a fabulous 2024.

Happy New Year Paul Here`s to more adventures

Happy New Year Paul & family. All the best for 2024 😊

Great video, see you in the new year

Good stuff mate

I just got a Vaude Taurus SUL 1p tent yesterday. So nice! Can't wait to take it out later this spring. Cheers and happy new year from Sweden!

Nice to see you talking about gear again. That was the reason I joined initially. The search for budget gear brought me here and your reviews.

Happy New Year Both. Look forward to future Vids👍

Happy New Year Paul (when it arrives), loving your videos, keep them coming and look after yourself. All the best from Scotland 👍

Fabulous round up Paul. Thanks for all the great videos that you’ve shared with us over 2023. Hope you’ve both had a great Christmas and Happy new year to you. Oh - and I hope the lack of proper caffeine is having an affect where it’s needed.

Only found you this year Mr M and have really enjoyed your no bull approach to everything. All the best in 24!

Thanks Paul for sharing your adventures in 2023 and can I take this opportunity to wish you all a fantastic healthy and happy 2024.

.. Good gear review .... Seems that every year or two something gets added to the pack ,, some pretty creative minds out there ... look forward to what's to come ... Have a safe and Happy New Year ....

Happy New Year Paul

Happy new year to you and everyone else, looking forward to 2024 vids, all the best 👍

Enjoyed it Paul!!

Happy new year Paul and Joe .....see you next year

All the best for 2024 Paul & Jo,look forward to all your future content..just on a side note regarding the Sea to Summit Comfort Light sleeping pad I use that religiously on all my camps & have never had an issue with it regarding comfort etc,I have a really bad back,hips & knees but have always slept great with that pad,in colder conditions I put a Thermarest Ridgeraider underneath it & have never felt the cold at all. Thanks for the entertainment & information you've given us all in the past 12 month's it's very much appreciated.

Good job , looking forward to watching your adventures in 2024 🎉

Hi Paul. I've watched most of your videos. I do like how you tell things as they are. All the best for 2024 . Billy 😊

Keep up the good work Paul and regards to Jo also. Your videos are a joy to watch. Really looking forward to your exploits in 2024. Would love to see you explore other parts of UK. And surely it is about time you developed your own brand of tent, sleeping bags and backpacks??

Thanks for the videos this year Paul, all the best mate. 🏕️

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Paul. I hope 2024 is even better.

Happy New Year Paul, I look forward to 2024’s videos and seeing where you go and the gear you use. Wish I had the knees to do as much as I want to 😂

Way to go, Paul. Looking and sounding great. I'm doing the 365 challenge in the States, looking forward to the trail miles and seeing more of your adventures. Take care!

All the best for 24 Paul all been fab thanks ❤

Happy Crimbo and look forward to great recommendations in 24!👍🏼

Glad to see you are liking the Unna. It’s such a nice tent. Simple and reliable! I might have to checkout that fire maple pan. Hope you and Jo had a great new years!

Paul! Two (2) things id love to see from you this year... 1. A log of everywhere you went, how many nights you've slept outside, miles hiked, maybe gear per trip, etc. If you don't have it, log for this year! 2. Videos of making your own dehydrated meals! Yes, please!

Happy New Year 🎉

Happy New Year, Paul. Like other subscribers, I do like your gear reviews; even though you've stated you're not interested in doing them much any more. Look forward to seeing more of you in 2024.

I really appreciate your opinions and experience, keep going fella, I'm a long-term fan...

Hi Paul I predict the X Boil will be THE go to stove in 2024, so simple and well designed. All the best to you and Happy New Year 😊🎉

Great video and good timing as about to get back into camping this year and after a long time off

Thanks for the videos this year Paul , best wishes for 2024 🎉

Nice one Paul, all the best mate. Keep going pal.

Great video, love how the Messner channel is evolving and this summary of your best bits is spot on. Thanks to you and Jo for the entertainment in 2023 and all the best for next year! ❤

Thanks for the great video. Really enjoy your observations from good use. The bag looks great - you should consider seam sealing it for waterproofness. Another thing to consider is one large inner dry bag/stuff sack/rubbish bag, and stuffing your quilt (quilts don't like being compressed), clothing and softer gear down the bottom of the pack. More efficient than separate dry bags for everything and lifts the heavier stuff off your hips. Much quicker packing up too. With your cup and the rust that forms on the bottom of the gas canisters, I try to dry them down thoroughly and put a light cloth at the bottom of the cup before nesting the canister. Also dry out everything when I get back. Love the Unna versus Soulo thoughts!

I bought sierra design synthetic sleeping bag with the top quilty bit, went synthetic cos of dog (and long haired committee has to sign off on price) love the design but wish I have gone for down just on pack size, ATB for 2024❤️👍🏻

Love it Paul, some great gear on show… really need to get that lower pan support for the Mars Radiant stove! I must have the Wardle Edition 😅.. Looking forward to 2024.. 👍🏼 All the best.

Some good tips there. Particularly about taking some extra luxuries. Look forward to more vids next year.

Glad to see the trusty Cup still makes the list 👍👍

Hiya Paul Luke mentioned you in his channel recently. I hope you had had a good christmas. I am a new sub on here and instagram Thanks for the great videos throughout 2023 . Good health and happy camping in the coming year

Thank you for your gear ideas.. I too am a jetboil ‘fanboy’ from ur earlier videos n couldn’t be happier. Plus sea to summit pad was a great choice.. now just to try the quilt ur using. I know u don’t like too many product reviews but it has been so helpful 😊

Happy new year to you both

All the best to you and Jo

All the best in to you and your s . Great reviews don't change ,👍

Nice one, Paul! I'm preparing to walk the PCT in 2024 and I've been mulling over my backpack choice for months. I was so, so close to buying an Atom Pack Mo EP50, but I've finally decided to go with the Durston Kakwa 55. It's almost half the price and seems to have all the same features... Plus it doesnt have a 12 week waiting time! Only problem is that I'll have to pick it up in the US, but that's not the end of the world - I'm ordering the Durston X-mid Pro 2 at the same time so... 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for all the videos, mate. A great help as always. Have a fantastic New Year with the missus!

Happy Christmas Paul. That little rust ring can be prevented with some electric tape on the lip of the gas canisters.

Happy new Year

Great video as usual paul

Tack Paul

Nice video. Interesting to see which bits of kit you favour, it's better to listen to someone who's used loads of different stuff, no agenda, just honest favourites :) Crazy too that your favoured cook set is some stainless steel and a basic burner, with all the clever options for cooking, sometimes maybe it's easier to stick to the basics. Less to go wrong and free of tech. Lovely little video. Happy New year to you!

I to have evaluated things I have a few years on you lol and sure your a lot fitter . I have no needed to get to the top ,just enjoy the day as long as I’m out . All the best for 2024

All the best to you and Jo for 2024 👍

Got a Fieldhopper table on the way thanks to this channel. Now wondering if an alcohol stove would be better than gas cans... Great info

Been a joy to watch your content over the last year. Keep it up in 2024. Would have been nice if you did a cost of the gear as you went along, you could then also provide a cheaper option . Not everyone can afford over £700 on just a tent!

We live our highlander stove like your fire maple we just pop some kitchen towel in the bottom before packing away, absorbs moisture then can pop burner and pot holder inside on top of kitchen paper towel

Cheers!

Think the reasoning behind Quilts costing more than sleeping bags even though they have less material is down to 'Economies of Scale ' in the manufacturing process. As Quilts are still a niche product compared to Sleeping bags.. All the best for 2024 and lots of new adventures Paul 👍
