You're now my go-to channel for advice and inspiration. Love from a fellow MH sufferer who's just starting out on the hiking/backpacking/personal journey. 💚💜
As you're plant based you might find overherd oat milk powder useful for your trips as you can pack a small amount of powder instead of taking an amount of milk (I'm dairy intolerant & a coeliac and it is the only dairy free dried milk substitute I have found that works for me so far - I got it mostly for going on hols and festivals but thinking watching this how useful it will be on hikes as I am just getting started) 🙂
I've been using Trangia and, though it's big, it's so well contained. I still have meths. Gas wise I've had a go with the Spider Stove for more stability close to ground. It works well.
I think the Trangia's coming out this weekend - for two of us completely self contained. I bought it when I was in what was then called Venture Scouts back in the 80s. It's a little dented now (especially after some of today's Scouts borrowed it), but they do last. It has had a replacement burner because the lid of the old one cracked.
If you’re using any kind of metal mug - and you don’t have asbestos lips - it’s a good idea to have some form of insulation on the edge of your mug. Back in the day we used black tape but it soon gets gungy. I’ve just moulded some Sugru round my mug which is much cleaner. If the handles aren’t insulated good idea to do those too.
Rain skirts are also pretty useful bits of kit to help with layering. Not great if it really starts to pour down but if it a light rain they're great as the bottom of your trousers don't soak up water like the thighs do. Rain skirts also take up about 1/4 of the space that rain trousers do so are great of you're travelling really light and finally they're really easy to get on and off
Buff! Fantastic video Abbie. Im slowly building up my supplies for my multi day hikes after lockdown. Todays purchase is a hat! Measured my head for a Tilleys hat as its what my Grandad wore for decades.
You are able to stay in a squatting position for an amazingly long time! I'm glad Bobby stays close by; I would worry about owls or other critters. He is very cute.
You probably dont give a shit but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Keaton Luis thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
So if you took a 3 season tent out at this time of year? (I'm so used to the Force 10 which weighs a ton but can survive heavy snow but wonder about buying something lighter)
Should be on telly. Ninja Bob too. Is 'satiated' really a word?? In my defence being from Yorkshire, English is kind of a second language. Informative and educational.
If you are trekking on the flat you don’t really need two,( though they are handy for leaping over wider streams). If you are on mountains and of a certain age,( I am 55), they are a godsend, especially going downhill. You can be descending for a good couple of hours coming off a Munro so it really helps with knee and hip pain. Without two poles I simply could not continue climbing Munro’s at all.
I love an organised bag, very satisfying 🌼 I like the trousers they remind me of Coyote Peterson's which can only be an excellent thing. Just need to actually start proper walks to justify them 🙈😀 ps fab nature close ups at the start 🌼

Great info Abbie ! 🥸

Top tip. Hadn't heard of them but sounds like a great idea.
Fabulous thank you ABBIE
Buff! Fantastic video Abbie. Im slowly building up my supplies for my multi day hikes after lockdown. Todays purchase is a hat! Measured my head for a Tilleys hat as its what my Grandad wore for decades.
I try to use some big zip lock sandwich bags for things like clothes and tea bags as lots of dry bags adds weight (clips etc)
I love your information videos, you make things much more simple than others and cover every aspect of every item.
Thank you for this video it has really helped me have an idea of the kit I will need for an overnight camp x
Thank you for this! Always a joy to watch your videos ❤
I'm a massive fan of my Memory Map GPS system but always take a map, guide book and compass too. Even with a power bank you can run out of power
Amazing and helpful video as always. Loving the beautiful opening shots. Moss macro!
What brand are your trousers?
Montane Terra Pants :)
Thanks Abbie. Very informative.
You are able to stay in a squatting position for an amazingly long time! I'm glad Bobby stays close by; I would worry about owls or other critters. He is very cute.
Ninja Bob!! That's the best 🤣 He did an excellent job guarding you 😉

@Keaton Luis It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
@Elias Bobby no problem xD
Thank you Abbie
So if you took a 3 season tent out at this time of year? (I'm so used to the Force 10 which weighs a ton but can survive heavy snow but wonder about buying something lighter)
Ninja Bob!!! all the way!
Great Video! Thanks for posting. Can't wait to see more content 😍
Great advice Abbie x I'm walking a section of the ridgeway this month and camping at a mates farm 😂
Should be on telly.
Ninja Bob too.
Is 'satiated' really a word??

Great watch 🙌
Hi Abbie great video very enjoyable ! Check shoes from Lowa or Meindl and Hanwag. Keep up the good work!!!
Love your humour!
Nice video!
Always love this kind of videos. May I ask which footcreme you use?
How do you get your dog to stay still
Velcro?
Great advices ! Why do some hikers use two trekking poles instead of one like you ?
Two poles are more effective but using only one is more comfortable .
If you are trekking on the flat you don’t really need two,( though they are handy for leaping over wider streams). If you are on mountains and of a certain age,( I am 55), they are a godsend, especially going downhill.

I'm sorry Abbie, but how on earth do you expect me to take notice of what you are talking about when your dog is so damn cute? Adorable.
I love Bobby can you make a video just about Bobby as well, great video.
Yes, video of Bobby hilites!!!
