😮the tight taint?!!!

😂wow nice relay switch in mm ?!? Not inches?!!!?? 🖤🤠💚

That's not at all true. The whole idea of a mountain guide is someone who brings gear for protecting clients who are scrambling stuff that is less than grade 5. They've got entire certifications dedicated to the idea. Do you believe that walking up Everest is climbing? Sort of silly, you don't even really need your hands most of the time, yet it needs to be protected with ropes. Just an exaggerated example to illustrate the point. Mountaineering is not always grade 5 climbing.

There is not a whole lot of mountaineering in North America. What do you call an alpine route that doesn't require your hands to climb, but obviously needs roped protection? Climbing K2 is "low grade", but it would be insane to do it without gear.

Thanks. I’m pleased you enjoyed it and hopefully found it useful.

Hi Anthony, I use Ellis Brighams.

​@@michaeljones-zg8lu Thanks for the reply. Your video inspired me to go out and buy some that will hopefully help to keep my stuff more organised as well as protected from getting damp. I picked up some on offer from Regatta and also got a 10L Karrimor from Sports Direct (only just read where you bought yours from)

Hi. Thanks for watching, I’m pleased you found it useful. Like yourself I also carry a spare pair of socks, a thermal top and a pair of long johns. I also carry a very lightweight down gilet from PHD which I tend to sleep in. Cheers and thanks again for your interest.

I always carry a spare base layer and an extra pair of fat technical wool socks, as I can either sweat or get really wet, stumble and get wet if unfortunate (not yet), or lend it to a friend if need be. also acts as extra insulation in an emergency, where I may be still, and the cold sets in. I also carry two thin beanies and one bigger warmer one. If I either get wet or sweat too much and it becomes wet, I can put on fresh dry ones. As soon as I get to a hut, if any, I try to dry them out. I usually also carry two plastic bags if my boots should wet out so I can keep my socks dry for a while, until they break - like freeze plastic bags of 2L. I can also use it to collect water if need be etc. On multi day trips, I sometimes carry a small ½ liter nalgene bottle with an extra baselayer in, so in case I am in the tent needing to in bad or really cold weather, i just pee in the bottle and use it to warm myself for a while. Regarding tics, I don't use a pincet or similar for this any more, as I find using a very tiny box of cream better. Even sunscreen works for this. Just rub a small dab onto the tic and rub it ever so slightly, and as it breathes in the rear end, it cannot breathe, and let go, so no chance of tearing the body out and the head stays with infection etc. Used it many times, and it works well. I carry a few water cleaning pills plus a small foldable 0,6L waterfilter/bottle. Often carry a thin down jacket for when immoblie etc. Always carry 3 500mg pain killers and a few mineral tablets to cover any loss of minerals and salts plus general emergency kit. Plus some of what he carries in the video. 10m thin rope can make a difference. Depending on season, weather and the actual place, snow goggles and more clothes plus crampons, helmet etc. In Summertime, maybe just spikes on a rubber band for light crampon effect. Faiters are good on most trips. Plus a thin merino neck gaiter all year round. apprx. 6,5 kilo incl. food. Kind regards.

@@monzarace Thank you for your extensive answer. I guess I’ll have to give my kit another go through. Really appreciated the tic tip. Tics love me, and can be a real pain in you know where. I’m definitely incorporating a small box of cream to my kit. If not sunscreen, what else do you use? The two plastic bas for the feet, I’ve actually used myself, but maybe I should carry those with me on a regular basis (takes up no room at all. I also carry painkillers and electrolyte tablets/solution in the mountains. I have a 30 meter rap line (6 mm) that I can take with me if the terrain is going to be challenging. However, up until now I’ve never carried with me. What would you use the 10 meter line for (excuse my ignorance)? I always carry a warm synthetic jacket for breaks, or emergency use. In winter time, when there is snow/ice I carry either micro spikes, of full on crampons. I can also carry ice axe and helmet, but that is dictated by the terrain, or if I’m on a glacier (on a glacier I’m not alone). I always carry a couple of neck gaiters/Buffs. They come in handy on most hikes/climbs. How you manage to keep the weight of your load to 6,5 kg is impressive. I’m nowhere near that. ATB from Norway 🇳🇴

Thankfully that’s not the case. Carabiners are clipped into the slings before folding so it’s not possible to come un clipped. It’s a industry standard way of folding and storing and using. In fact petzl have just added a video on their own website showing the same system. But thank you for your interest. Happy climbing.

@@summitmountainskills4330 I mean I can show in you in a video how it’s possible and how to avoid this issue

Hi Thanks for your message Great to hear you are looking to do your mountain leader award. I work with Leading Edge delivering these awards. leadingedge-mountain.co.uk/sml.html Looking at your pack weight I would say you have it spot on 10-12kg is a good weight to be carrying. Thanks for your message Many Thanks Mike.

Hi Ant, I carry a 35L bag if I am winter walking and a 45-50L bag if I am winter climbing. Cheers.

Cheers. Thanks Jeremy.

Hi Imran, I us a North Face L5 Futurelight jacket. very waterproof and really breathable. glad you enjoyed the video.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Interesting, nice to watch someone present a kit tutorial who knows what they are talking about.

Really pleased you found it useful.

Hi. Glad you enjoyed the video. The rucksack is the Lowe Alpine Halcyon rab.equipment/uk/lowe-alpine-backpacks/lowe-alpine-halcyon-35-40-m. Cheers.

Hi Konran, glad you enjoyed the video. The trowel is a sea to summit toilet trowel. www.seatosummit.co.uk/products/personal-care/pocket-trowel-alloy/. Hop that helps. Cheers.

@@summitmountainskills4330 thank you!

Hi Dave, I used to use electrical tape myself but it’s not something I do now due to been unsure what is used in the adhesive. Having said that the toughtags use can purchase to help identify your climbing gear obviously use some sort of adhesive so perhaps I’m been over cautious.

Hi most of mine are 4 & 6 litres. I find that size works well for me. Hope that helps. Cheers. Mike.

Alex Law glad you enjoyed the video. Yes an overhand knot would definitely work.

Jim Mitchell thanks , glad you found it useful. I hope you are keeping well.

Really pleased you found it useful Graham.

OutdoorsDJ really pleased you liked it. Cheers.
