- In this video myself and Franky (my nephew) head for a camp on Pen Yr Ole Wen. This camp was all about just getting back out and enjoying it and having a run through my winter setup ill be using this winter. Also this is my last camp of 2024 so I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has tuned in over the past year. It means a lot. The camp was brilliant. Started off in the fog then as we ascended we popped out to see all of Ogwen Valley covered. Once we was up on the summit and found our pitch we had an incredible sunset. Once the sun had set the night sky was unbelievable. At sunrise we woke up in the clouds but it cleared on our way down to just a blanket of cloud. A truly brilliant camp to end the year on. I hope you enjoyed this one as much as we did and I will see you on the next one.

Happy New Year R Kid 😉 That Zen Bivvy looks like a decent bit of warm kit, what do you sleep in clothes wise because i only wear a base layer and i think thats why i prefer a bag because i always feel a draft when i have tried a quilt. and i cant figure out why i get on with a quilt at home but not in a tent 🤔Also i am wondering whats the coldest you have used your 450 Cumulus quilt down too ? Seeing your Franky with his huge Began on brings back memories, what Regiment is he in and how long has he been in so far ?
Happy new year to you to Olan and thanks for your support this year and tips. I sleep just in my boxers and a t shirt most of the time. I only got a draft when moving in the cumulus but with the way the zen bivvy connects to the bed sheet that has eliminated it. I've used the cumulus quilt down to -3 in Scotland one time and was ok to be fair. I bet it does bring back memories man. Am not sure what regiment he's in. He's only 17 so not fully in yet, he's at like an army college in Yorkshire doing training at the moment and he's been there around 10 months I think.
@@iamchriswhelan Its been an absolute pleasure watching your vids Chris so Thank You 👌. I havent checked out that Zen Bivy properly yet but i am going to. I was only asking about the 450 Cumulus because i managed to buy a Panyam 450 off eBay for £150 in mint condition and after washing it and weighing it it looks on par with my Panyam 650 which can be too warm if its not well below zero and i am down to wearing base layers. I bet your Frankys fitness level is pretty good after 10 months at the Depot then . Back in my day if you wasnt going to turn 18 after 6 months training and old enough to join a Regiment it used to be called Junior leaders which wasnt quite as brutal on the physical side but they focused a lot on weapon systems and tactics and map reading and still spent a lot of time in the gym etc.
Bought myself a DJI Osmo action 5 and a Mic for a Christmas pressie but its traumatised me so far ...i am not exagerating in the slightest when i say i could rip out a kitchen and fit a new one in lesser time than i have invested in these gadgets to achieve sod all 🙃 Off for 10 days now so going to get out in the snow and probably end up Erming and Arring my way through a edit free video on my new mobile phone explaining why i just bought myself number 4 Hillyberg Soulo unless a miracle happens and i recover from IT induced trauma 🤔 Any tips for any channels that are good for walking an IT retard through the whole process of getting video footage off the Osmo and into a one piece video ????
@Olan... Means alot man. Yeh defo check out the zen bivvy. I've got the ultralight setup. Ah right, I do love the cumulus but it's not good when you start getting passed 0 degrees. Sure Franky mentioned summet about the Grenadiers!? But am not 100%. I know he's been doing alot of like battle camps and stuff. Brilliant that you've bought that camera, I've got the same one. Great piece of kit. Just search on TH-cam the camera name and settings and am sure there will be loads of videos. Need to know more on it just WhatsApp me man. I'll video some stuff for you if you want explaining things. Number 4 Soulo wow haha. I'm considering selling mine coz I don't use it anymore.
Bet it felt good to get back out man! The blade bringing back some memories there hahah , looked like a good camp! ⛺
Yeh was definitely good to get back out there enjoying the camping man. Hopefully we can get out soon 🤞 appreciate your support man.

Alright,

Nice video Chris ⛺️👍🏻 how do you like the la sportiva boots?
Thanks alot Ian. This was the first outing for the la sportiva boots. First impressions are great. Straight out of the box no issues. I used to wear Scarpa ribelles but they were very uncomfy. Hopefully I've made the right choice. Thanks for watching 👍
@ great, they get pretty good reviews… think I’ll have to go and try a pair on 👍🏻 cheers and keep the videos coming ⛺️👍🏻
Definitely matey. I picked mine up from Sports shoes for £232 in the sale, absolute bargain. Appreciate the support Ian 👊
It's pronounced pen ear oller when ffs.
Thanks for that. I'm no good at saying these Welsh mountains. Thanks for watching 👍
