Haversack and bedroll

- Hello, in this little video I head off to a nice spot to experiment with a haversack and bedroll with a view to camping ( at some point) with it.
I may need to take the odd bit of kit out or add bits in but before I overnight with this type of set-up I will set out on walks and day camps with it to test it out.
Thanks for Watching 👍

Wow, your video sure resonated with me , Im in Germany and I recorded myself with all my stuff setting up my tarp food, stove etc... only to find funny dog walkers and insecure about making a fire. I sure dislike that feeling, here you better follow the rules or you get a big fine and they call police on you for just about anything, so I left and did not upload my video, planning to try again this winter.👍🏻
😂😂 . Those things can be a problem here too. All the land is owned by someone or other . How do you own all the land 🤔. Anyway good luck with your future endeavours , I'm sure you'll manage to do what you want in the end and thank you for watching 👍🏕
Very glad to see this “junk on the bunk” with the Helikon Tex haversack. I have the same bag & wish I hadn’t purchased it. Because it’s TOO big. Damn thing is like an artists portfolio hip-bumping along down the trail. However it would be excellent for what haversacks were originally designed for. To venture from camp (& one’s main pack) to re provision. The sack is spacious enough to carry groceries. Eggs. Produce. A load of bread. Or all of the aforementioned and a tarp just in case main camp isn’t made back before night/weather. Anyhow the thing about all bags is they depreciate down to nothing the minute they’re purchased. Heck I bought 2 Gregory Jade 60 packs at Goodwill recently for $9 each. One gray the other lime. Currently using the lime one for my suburban trekking/rucking exercises.
😂 it is large for a haversack . They actually call it a satchel , which i suppose it is. I'm getting on OK with it but I do tend to overfill it and have it banging on my hip 😅. Wanted a large style haversack bag though and it still comes in handy . . Especially for a simple little day camp or an extra bit of conveyance for bits and bobs like kindling and fatwood . Anyway thank you for watching. Take care 🏕 👍
Nice spot for a brew you found there
Thank you . It was. Take care 👌🏕
Gorgeos spot mate. Speak soon.
Thanks Hardy 👌🏕
Very nice video. Enjoyed watching it. Thanks. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you very much . You too 🏕👌
That's a cracking spot mate , cracking view from camp , looks like quality gear too , that would be a nice camp in the spring atb 👍
Cheers Gaz . Yeah I think that spots a no go for an overnighter sadly . Very busy and not to far from civilisation . Definitely going to do acamp with that type gear. Late spring hopefully. Bug season though 😂. Take care mate and thank you for watching 👍🏕
Hey Mate, I just got a cotton canvas haversack (ex Romanian military) off eBay ! Been thinking along similar lines to yourself. Not sure I can pull it off - but isn’t there something nice and different about a small bag with all your gear just slung over your shoulder 👍 And in busy, non-camping areas, I think it draws less attention too. Thanks for sharing that Mark 😊👍
Cheers Giles. Mate I reckon you'd be more likely than me to pull it off 😂. There's me with my massive Carinthia sleeping bag and half a tonne of gear 😂 and you kipping in winter without even a blanket 😂.
Definately want to give it a go though ( in the warmer weather 😂) .
Do like the idea of it , feels really authentic and traditional .
Its more inconspicuous with a haversack but the bedroll might give the game away a little, but if and when I do it I'll be wandering around the woodland trails.
Look forward to hopefully seeing your haversack in action . Take care Giles and thank you so much for watching 🏕👌
Nice video mate, beautiful spot. Getting a nice collection of quality gear there man 👌
Thanks fella . Yeah I've got stuff kicking round all over the place . Must have a clear out and sort out .
It is nice there but probably not for an overnighter. Take care mate and appreciate you watching . 👍🏕
I clicked on as quick as a could thinking you had a bacon roll in bed! Wasn’t disappointed though…it’s always a pleasure watching mate👍
😂😂😂 . Thats a good idea. Might be messy though 🤔. Cheers mate take care. Especially hoping on that bike after a jar or 2 👍
Nice one Mark, I keep meaning to do a bedroll and Haversack camp. It really is nice to strip things back to just the essentials from time to time and I liked the setup you had there. Maybe when the weather improves a little! That looked like a lovely spot too 👍
Thanks Barney. Nice spot for a day camp ,not really suitable for an overnighter though.
Yeah might tweak that setup a little and hopefully get out with it in a month or 2 . Take care mate and thanks for visiting 👍 much appreciated bud 🏕
Nice demo of trying out kit and getting settled with it before going on an overnighter.
Thank you . Take care 🏕👍
Surprising how much came out of that bag. I was waiting for a kitchen sink like gag! Nice peaceful spot there mate ATB
😂 that satchels like sport Billy's bag 😂. Was a nice spot ,a fair few dog walkers about so probably not ideal for an overnighter. Thanks for watching Jamie . Take care mate 👍🏕
Definately the way to go, we are all guilty of taking too much stuff into the woods and not using it. Looking forward to your first night out with this gear Mark.👍
Thank you mate. Yeah can't wait to give it a go . Tempted to try it sooner rather than later but not sure whether or not to wait for it to get a tad warmer 😂. Take care mate 👍 🏕
Hello, a nice set. I'm a fan of wool blankets - they provide reliable warmth. I've currently switched to the "Swagman Roll" from Helikon-Tex. A poncho inlet that you can also convert into a sleeping bag.
Yes I have that to. Was thinking of pairing it with a wool blanket in mildly chilly weather. A blanket will protect it from the fire too ( if you've got one nearby ) Thank you for watching , take it easy 👌🏕
It's nice to see one of these vids in the UK. The gears virtually identical to my own! Helikon satchel, wool blanket, poncho, tealight uco candle lantern etc.,
With these camps it's helpful to go through what you'll be wearing also, as that forms part of your camp set-up, more-so than modern camping.
The tealight candle lantern is a good emergency back-up in freezing temperatures, using under your poncho when sat against something.
One of those small uco firebowls would get you through the night in colder weather, though you'd be waking and feeding it every hour. Giles Binyon does this and just uses clothing.
I've been looking at those ground mats. How do they compare to a roll mat. I use the Savotta roll mat.
Actually really enjoyed this.
Thank you . Yes I've watched some of Giles Binyons videos. I need at least a wool blanket and yes the fire bowl does need tending if you need it for warmth all night.
I do like the traditional gear but have to put a few things to the test with some back ups ( just in case😂).
Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
Take it easy 👌 🏕
In regards to the mats it depends on the thickness of the wool and temperature. On a mild night they work fine. If its colder I think you'd need to make a browse bed and lay the mat on top. I have a sheepskin that I've used with it and that worked well on a nippy night . 👍
I have the Trangia Mini and I have to say, it’s nice seeing it getting a bit dented up and used.
I had breaking in new kit, but good to see it used.
I need to get out like you. Not been out since back end of last year for day camps.
Yes mate that's what its for at the end of the day. Mate , I sometimes have to make time ( not always easy) and force myself to get out . Always glad I did when I do . Hope you can get out soon mate , even if its just for a wander about and a cuppa in the woods . Thanks for watching 👍. Take care 👌🏕
Nice set up, years ago I camped a few times with a Czech army bed roll with an old Yugoslavian haversack and an Austrian poncho as a tarp it was quite lightweight and carried well , I should dig it out again - it’s more of a 2 season set up ,good fun though got a few funny looks I think it is a bit knight of the road stylee , all the best Mick
Thanks Mick. Yes mate I think it looks cool but I reckon you're right with th 2 season assessment mate. Unless you have a long fire out front. Not ideal if you have to be a tad stealthy 😂. Take care and thank you for watching 👍🏕
@@treksntarps Thank you Mate , I appreciate the amount of effort and time you put into your films , very entertaining & enjoyable to watch
@@hackneeey Thank you. It has been a bit of a struggle lately . Had a bit going on . Thats well appreciated 👌
👋 👋 👋
👍
Yes mate. I got inspired for swag set up Scötty goes walkabout. Wynnchester bedroll. Not cheap, but no need for tent or rucksack, so lots of weight and cost savings. I also recommend the 3/4 weight on back and 1/4 on front in dilly bag for food and liquids. It takes the weight of lumber spine and makes it easier to walk upright. It's a whole new level, also a lean to tarp if it does get wet. Cheers mate.
Cheers mate. I have a swag to . Really comfy especially if you bring the mattress with it . It is a bit heavy and bulky if you're carrying it any distance though. Do like the idea of a bedroll style adventure and camp though. Thanks for the heads up on those items and thank you for watching. Take care 👍🏕
Great video, I've definitely learned a lot from your knowledge, though when it comes to doing it, I bet I'll forget everything lol 😆.
Keep going and I'll keep watching 👀. Great to watch as always 👍. Thanks for sharing 😊. See you on your next adventure ✌️ 🤟 🤙
P.s. had to edit my message to add the p.s. lol, but I'd definitely like to see your videos 3x longer, no sooner have I got into them, they are over, they are so relaxing to watch, thumbs up from me 👍
Mate, thank you ever so much 🙏. Thats really nice of you . I always struggle with what to cut and what to leave in the vids . I do sometimes tend to ramble on a bit 😂. Mate a lot of the things are practice, research, trial and error and finding what suits you. Take care and once again, thank you 👌🏕
@@treksntarps just say what you say, honestly it's always interesting and I like to listen. As always I'll look forward to your next adventure 🤟 🤙
@@IrelandRider 👍
That looks a great setup looks kind of traditional stunning location to. Looking forward to seeing get out camping with it
Thank you bud. Yes , feels all traditional and authentic. Might wait until it gets a tad warmer or maybe add another wool blanket 🤔. Can't wait to have an overnighter with it.
Thanks for watching, take it easy 👌🏕
@@treksntarps your more than welcome buddy it looks great. Definitely one for when it's warmer you need comfort rather than endurance. It needs to be a pleasant experience 👍👍
@@360OutdoorAdventures yes mate . Dont want it to be an ordeal 😂.
I would dump pots n pans for water bttle nesting cup n lid ( and take 2 of set ) wind shield would be aluminium foil baking trays from £1 land etc with sticks to hold it up
Some good ideas there mate. I know you can take less and adapt things the more experience and knowledge you get . Thanks for watching bud . Take care 👍🏕
@@treksntarps cool cool as long as you realise I am not criticizing just suggesting what I myself would do would being the operative word as my illness dosnt let me do half if what I want think next year I'm going to sort my long had an n camp out in that my friend Cooking Fat would love it n it sure about the Fox's n other wildlife lol
@anuvabastidanakist2437 No worries mate . We all have ways and reasons for doing things the way we do. Enjoy your time out when you can 👌
Looks like a cracking idea, them helikon-tex satchels swallow some gear for sure, I've had mine overloaded afew times lol, be cool to watch you do a video with this rig, must admit, I'm tempted to do a similar thing at some point, but never get round to it, good health and safe travels my friend, cheers craig
Thank you Craig . Yes mate the satchel is fairly spacious and I just want to test that style of camping. Super traditional and authentic feeling i reckon . Hopefully do it when the weather gets a tad warmer. Take care mate and thank you 👌🏕
I did an early Jan camp with a luxury bed roll of bivvi, ground mat, air mattress, sleeping bag. It was more the size of a pillow than a roll 😂
😂 . Mate , sounds good . I was thinking about adding a sleeping bag but my bed roll became mahusive 😂. Hopefully do the wool blanket thing in the spring time. Thanks for watching , take care 🏕👌
Just found something different as bedroll. Bought a 80-82 inch "Waterproof Dog Blanket" on Amazon, folded it lengthwise in thirds so I have two layers on top, one on bottom, then added 5 stitches at foot end to keep it together. Stuck a torso size pad inside it for ground insulation and inflatable pillow. This makes a minimalist bedroll that I can lay on wet ground, could even get rained on but I would use a tarp or poncho for rain cover.
Sounds like it'll do the trick . Nice to find stuff that'll do a job and doesn't cost a packet .
Thanks for watching. Take care 👍🏕
just asking why do you have it all set up facing the wind you should have it set up away from the wind ?
Yes spot on. The view. 😂. Was only going to be there a few hours , no rain on the way , Would have had to reconsider if I was staying for the duration . Thanks for watching take it easy 👍🏕
Cracking stuff Mark, the satchel looks like it can hold quite a bit of stuff. What brand is the smock your wearing? It looks smart on that mate
Cheers Darren . Yeah the satchel can fit a reasonable amount in mate. Not sure what brand the smock is mate. It was a cheapo job from amazon I think. It was difficult to find.
I'll have a look if there's a brand name when I get home later, but I don't think so.
Thanks for watching mate 👍. Take care 🏕👌
@@treksntarps no probs mate take care 👍
This compression hurts my eyes
Not to good with tech .
