Let me know what you think about the video, it's length, the gear, the sleeping mats, the location, the good looks, the neurodivergence, the heater, and the state of that vestibule. OMG man. And let's make Monty a millionaire #MMAM
Location: Great but only in winter as far to busy other wise.
Gear: Excellent especially the heater.
Company: Legends all round
Vestibules: Less chat about my small porch the better! Haha
The vid is great mate.👍🏴⛺️
Monty I’ve always said the heaters are amazing. If your vented.👍🏴⛺️
Beautiful place
Ahh ya handsome beast ya! Great location, love Loch Lomond. Big vestibules are always preferable. Thanks for the reviews, especially the mats.
I really think that neurodivergence is a gift. MMAM!!
Cracking night for such a simple wee camp
10/10 camp mate
Nice video mate, probably the better side of the loch for camping spots, especially next to water. 👍🏻
I've camped on the other side... a bit noisy mate lol.
Hey Monty, just want to say what a destresser this is for me😅. Whenever there a weather warning for either rain or wind I get out on my mountain bike and bomb along bridleways in the wild areas of....... Hertfordshire 😂.
Some excellent kit there you and your mates have got thanks for sharing.
Hey man. Glad you enjoyed it. I spent many days in St Alban & Welwyn Garden City with some partying in Hatfield and Potters Bar.
Take care!
That's a great spot you have and the heater is brilliant
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting 😀
Cracking video, I really enjoyed the attention to all the gear! I've got the opalus 2 for a couple of years now, and i have to say I'm a bit surprised to see yours sag so much? I do however recognise that I have to be careful whilst putting the poles through the sleeves to not rip the material, in contrast to my Helm 2.
Thanks. Everyone had a warm and comfortable sleep!
Do you think the straps can tighten? I need to check that next time as you can disconnection the inner tent.
I'm not sure tbh, just like you I always leave the inner attached. But I noticed you haven't used the guy lines, maybe that could make some difference?
@p.v Yeah that would help. What would massively help is if they put guy out points at the end. This only exists in the 3 person model - which also has two doors
ooft got here finally, length of the vid was good, you had a lot of interesting information to give out, whilst sadly my camping days are over, I'm sure there are many people who really appreciate your reviews, you've very honest and straightforward. location was great some more lovely videography. look forward to your next trip.
I often go camping at that location I was thinking of going to loch Lomond Saturday till Sunday but the rain put me off going. Been interested in the gas heater
I'm planning on hiking balmaha to the drover inn should take maybe 2 to three days just trying to time the weather. Thanks for the video monty good work 👏👍
Could have bumped into each other! I was wanting to do the WHW but I'm a slow walker. I can do Rowardennan to Inversnaid in 3 hours without camping equipment. I hope you get your camp sorted with accommodating weather, mate.
I love a rainy camp 👍🏴⛺️
The past 2 videos have been wild mate lol
The rain just makes it all real monty I love camping in it.👍🏴⛺️
Hope you're in good spot big man😊. Let's catch u up buddy 🙏👏👏👍🏼
Hi Monty great content, lovly place to camp hope your ok
All good here, Martin. I hope all is well on your end, mate.
Have you ever drifted off to a wonderful life.?the film.👍🏴⛺️
I've never seen it mate. You recommend it?
It’s a great film to me it puts life in to perspective.but it’s black and white I’ve got the colour version.👍🏴⛺️💯
Cracking vlog Monty. I enjoy your reviews 👍🏻
I have a Hilleberg Allak. Had it in some cheeky conditions. It’s a lot to carry in comparison with some other 4 season tents but a fantastic place to be once it’s up.
Looks like you’ve had a good camp. Nice one mate.
Thank you, Stewart. If there is anything else you'd like to see let me know.
Cheeky conditions 😁. It's that or the Staika that I want but I'm very working class and live alone. Thankfully the channel funds my hobby. It's worth carrying and it's a tent for life.
Thought that was Sean batty lol
I'm gonna do weather reports in my videos from now on 😂
monty your a class dude love the videos the adventure and journey brillllllll
Steaks on the firepit with a few mates. Paradise.
I'm vegetarian and the steaks were a medium well done. Even I found that a disgrace lol. Medium rare ftw.
The mat with its own pump is brilliant but i dont think i could handle the tent it was too low and saggy😂 overall i love the area though its stunning❤
I wonder if I can tighten the straps that the mesh uses to connect to the fly. Alternatively: don't use the mesh 😂
Happy New Year Monty. Took me a few weeks to catch up with this, I like to wait until I have a bit of free time to watch longer videos. It was worth the wait for that vestibule though! 😂😂😂
Love the video, that tent is probably fine for tiny 5’3 me! The world’s worst vestibule is hilarious! I loved the sound of the Loch waves. The heater might have to be purchased to keep my daughter warm too.
I relate to the anxiety so I am glad you enjoyed the camp.
And of course you know I absolutely love the rain! 😊☔️☔️☔️
Stella Maria Pitt!
I like the tent and I do intend on being out in it more, just need to fix the sleeve. If you're getting the heater please be safe with it and get a carbon monoxide detector.
Anxiety is bad at the moment but hopefully I can get more solos. 2 tent reviews this weekend so sadly no rain footage in meantime.
@@MontyOutdoorsdon’t worry I am the world’s most protective Mom so will be careful! Sorry to hear your anxiety is peaking at the moment, I think it has been a brutal year for many people so be kind to yourself 😊
Completely get where you’re coming from anxiety. Often puts me off going too. Good to see your getting your mojo back though
Hope you are getting out mate? I'm lucky to have camping buddies and Gaz but I want to do a solo!
@@MontyOutdoors when I can around work but I’ve only got 1-2.i typically meet up with so any summit camps I’m usually myself
@Moffatmountainadventures Exercise and eating non ultra processed foods massively helped my anxiety so I'm slowly resuming both. You should try it!
@@MontyOutdoors good shout, cheers Monty
@Moffatmountainadventures Let me know how you get on. I'm only on trazadone for off label sleep so my intention is too take on my anxiety "naturally".
Great video as usual Monty. Your pal Jimmy's tent reminds me of a tent my mate lent me to go bikepacking near Aberfoyle. From memory it was a Vango nx100, looks like the one man version of Jimmy's but it was green. Absolute nightmare of a tent. 😂 I'm 6ft and it was so tight I couldn't sit up in it or turn round in either so getting dressed or undressed had to be done outside the tent. I nicknamed it "the sausage skin" Keep up the good work Monty and merry Christmas to you!
It's an upgrade on my last 2 man Coleman Cobra in size terms but maybe slightly less in quality, still fine though for a cheap tent it does the business for low level camps. Monty's and Davids tents were miles better to be honest!!
Must admit you have so spectacular scenery up. North. What a location absolutely beautiful in any weather. That tents vestibule is on par with my cats litter tray nearly non existent 🐱😁 Hilleberg make some amazing equipment built to last. That heater looks perfect for sub zero temperatures a really nice product. It may of been a camp close to the car but sometimes it's just getting out that matters. Great video Monty 👍🏻🍻
Cat litter vestibule 😂. What's your cat called? I miss mine (Pepe and Mikael). One was a stripey grey cat and the other was ginger - my favourite colour of cat.
But aye mate. You know me, I alternate my camps. Will keep it easy in meantime so I don't create negative experiences.
Hope you're well 😁
And where is it your based mate?
@MontyOutdoors I currently have 3 cats. I had a 17yr old Ginger boy called Merlin who passed away but I still have my memories of him. I have a Tortoise shell Girl called Torrun a Black Boy called Ovid and a Tabby Boy called Nero. I am located in Wiltshire a Town called Marlborough. Are you going to be doing you Friday night Live sessions again Mate? 👍🏻🍻
How dare you take the cats p1sh out of my vestibule! On my last camp I managed to store a can of Irn-Bru and a packet of Walkers ready salted in there, I'm part of the VWA (vestibules with attitude) so please camp carefully 😂
d817 😁🤣👍🏻A packet of Walkers crisps 😁 nice one. Hope even without a big vestibule you had a great camp. 👍🏻🍻
Another great video! Also interested in the camp fire, when you find out please let me know. It seemed a shorter video than it was, maybe because of the awesome content. Can't fault the location, did you have a dip?
Pop into Amazon stainless steel portable fire pit and a few will come up mate. And thanks mate! I have dipped there before but I no longer have the minerals for it.
Like a moth to a flame..😊😊
Cheers J
#MMAM Like the heater, just concerns about the monoxide. How much gas does it use, and how heavy is it?
😭😂. I honestly don't think it gives off that much mate. Just keep the tent ventilated. And a big can lasts about 8 hours! And the thing only weighs like 250/300g.
Looks massive tent..i prefer big tents
Same mate. I'm a big human being so need me bigger tents. Screw the weight.
Very enjoyable video as always
Thank you mate. Hope you are well.
I would be better coming out in a vest monty 👍🏴⛺️
What do you mean, sir?
Whats happened to Monty? Havent seen a video in ages 😟
I have 4 in the making. I've just been super busy and I have more camps organised and a new camera :)
yes luv my winter wild camps mont and im looking for a good winter air bed. oh that backpack of yours the cammo one i have the same one is it what it says is it a 120L pack and what do you think of it mate
Exped are the most reliable so far for winter mats but this year will be a good test for Light Tour. I've still to take it down to below freezing though I think.
Andes bags are rubbish. They are useful for car camps or hikes under 30 mins. Very uncomfortable and cheap, however the bag is still going strong and undamaged. Would only recommend for the easier camps and not treks or munro bagging. How are you finding it?
mate your right they are uncomfortable my neck and shoulders are killing when i go anywere thats why im not out much so ok whats a good backpack mate im the same build as your mate gaz been looking at a vango one but not working at the moment so dont want to spend over a £150
@@MontyOutdoors
@austieoutdoors9763 I have the Eurohike Nepal and tbh, it was fine value for its money - £25. Certainly more comfortable than the Andes. I'd use them for short hikes for more comfort.
@@MontyOutdoors eurohike tamar 2 that was my first tent and still got it mont thanx I'll try that mate because ok company
@@austieoutdoors9763 I love the look of the Eurohike Ribble.
Good evening shrek man dude
Hey man. How are you?
You watched leave the world behind
Last night mate. Great movie. 8.5/10 from me. Loved the overall acting, but Julia Roberts steals the show.
Monty, we previously discussed the danger you posed to mountain rescue teams due to your idiocy.
Now I believe that you are a danger to everyone. 15:53 your tadger is on show big boy.
I'm aware. Wearing thermals underneath till my new pair arrive. Its also in my thumbnail. Clickbait.
Next video sponsored by Omano microscopes😜
Hi monty
Sorry to hear About your anxiety,I suffer from it now and then aswell,if it makes you feel any better.
Good run down on all the gear,I have that vango talas aswell,was given to me but yet to use it.
Leave the world behind,if your looking for a movie,good watch. Thanks for the new content,keen as ever in the rain🏕👍
P.s. sew the crotch of yer jocks😅
It's rotten mate as I want to do solo mountain camps but my brain doesn't permit. I've been on strong benzos but currently off all meds and trying to take a more natural, less western approach. How are you getting on.
Watched it last night and I give it 8.5/10. Great movie and what an ending lol.
And that's a designer logo mate 😂
@@MontyOutdoors
I always try natural things before medication,I think it only masks and contributes to more things. There were remedies for everything before the big pharmaceuticals came along.
Try some,qi qong,meditation or yoga..
What is it your brains saying no to about a solo summit camp?
I was out solo in the hot tent last week,was great.
Need some more snow tho.
I just bought an oex bobcat to do some summit solos,more Corbetts.
@brianmercer2805 I'm a big fan of scientific literature, but medication should generally be a last resort. Exercise is the body's natural drug, eating healthy is the way forward and studies now show ultra processed foods are killing us and mess with our brains the way drugs do, and most people's mental health issues would greatly improve if life was more cost effective. Yoga and meditation/breathing techniques are excellent suggestions. My issue isn't so much pharmaceutical companies but the economic model it exists inside which is outside it's control. Have you read Ben Goldacre's stuff? Very scientific but he gets tore into pharma.
I get scared incase I experience panic attacks/suicidal thoughts, so recently I've restricted myself to being at home or around people.
Mate i want a hot tent. Fire, big meal and a wee drink lol
@MontyOutdoors You sound like your on my wave length Monty.
I suffered from panic attacks for a while,first one was worst and anyone that's not had one doesn't understand. I had that many that I learnt to control them and eventually they stopped.
I understand,and that's prob wise👍
