Just a phenomenal outing and video! You definitely earned that Bacon and Egg Sandwich in the morning. Incredible efforts on your part in showing all that you did for us. Thanks!

I appreciate all of the camera angles and the work you put into filming. You rock !!!!

They are called ginger snaps here in Florida USA. And yes they are delicious I'm 54 now and I've eaten them since I was a child. By the way I first learned of your channel from AB CAMPING, I watch both channels now every chance I get. I'm not able to get out much but I love watching. This is much better than anything on traditional TV. Keep up the great work. Phil

Man that's a lot of snow, whole lot colder down south then it is here in Waikato. Seriously need to bring bacon into the huts more, just to wind up folks (insert humorous evil laugh). Congratulations on the 50th video. I really like my furnace lt down jacket from bushbuck it folds up in to one of it's pockets had it down to -5c, only down side heavy cause it's a touch over built and has pit zips. (also apparently raincoat level water proof never tested it out that part in a full on down poor yet.)

Yeah dump was bigger then I thought it would be. I hope it’s a sign on things to come this winter. Bacon and eggs is a treat so nice lol. Yeah I have seen some down jackets with waterproof outers. This could be good for me. Setting up in the snow after hike in gets cold fast. Ideally I need the lightest stuff possible as I take so much gear unfortunately it means expensive also. Rab and mac pac have a few decent options I think

I sweat quite a lot and its a real issue in the cold when out camping. I use technical (non-down) jacket so when the jacket gets wet with sweat it still keeps me warm and I also never use wool since once wet it takes a long-long time to dry out. I really appreciate the effort in you filming this but please stay safe!!

@AbelandVictoria

Жыл бұрын

I’m going to try a new strategy. Fleece on walk in and use my blue raincoat if I need too. Once I get to camp right a way grab from my pack my new down jacket which is water proof and 200 grams of down. Once I have tarp and tent set up I can get on my lighter weight down jacket on underneath my new bulky one. Maybe get a dry base layer on somewhere. I will have over 300 grams of down on and a waterproof layer so that should be way better when I’m sitting around not moving much. The wool is kinda useless comfy to sleep in once in the tent. I am probably going to need a bigger back pack.

Happy 50th video.

For the non-Kiwis watching this - he's not exaggerating the hypothermia risk here. In these conditions just hovering around the freezing point, everything is damp and this makes it really hard to get warm once you chill off. Essentially you are close to 100% humidity and nothing, will dry. Especially not your sweat. At lower temperatures say below -20degC there is almost no water left in the air and everything becomes bone-dry which makes staying warm a lot easier if you have the correct equipment.

@AbelandVictoria

Yea the sweat is the issue. I think I need to change into something warmer soon as I stop walking and being setting up. Wind chill is rough also.

@@AbelandVictoria When I was leading tramping trips years ago I learned the same lesson myself. As soon as we stopped in rough conditions like this, everyone had to be either active doing something like firewood foraging or fetching water - OR getting under shelter and into dry clothes. Delaying, even just 10 mins or so, and early hypothermia was not far away.

I have seen the rapid in the shop it looks much bigger when rolled up I personally didn’t like the raised bits on the edges of the rapid.
