As a wild camper myself, I find your content very helpful 👍🏻 You can never stop learning on a hike or camp.
Thank you for the content you create. I am thoroughly enjoying working my way through your back catalogue. I adopted a Portuguese rescue dog at the start of the year and will be going wild camping with him soon now that he has settled in. I live 20mins away from Dartmoor National Park so I am very spoilt for wild camping spots
Recently got into backpacking and your reviews have been the most enjoyable to watch. Honest, down to earth and really helpful...cheers Paul 👍
Great photography. Lots of great information and beautifully delivered.
Very nice walk that Paul, some great sights to be had on this one.
7kg, that’s bloody light. As always a very enjoyable video, cheers for sharing, Ant.
Cheers Ant. Much easier on my back
Great video. Delight to watch and listen to the nice description. I have recently started wild camping and your videos are always an inspiration. Thanks
Your good easy watching. Chills me out after a hard days graft. Great reviews on all the equipment you use
Super video! Impressive kit too, I remember as a school kid walking around Edale. Its great how the trails have been improved and cloths, food and equipment so very much improved. It almost looks like it could be fun these days 😉
One or two tough bits but it was definitely fun. 👍
Cheers Paul your a different class mate i manage to watch all your videos right the whole way through no fast forwarding ,plus ur reviews are always bang on ,cheers mate keep up the good work and stay 💪💪👊👌
Thank you Samuel. Very kind words. Glad you like the videos
Great stuff buddy. I did my first wild camp up Bamford Edge last week with a friend of mine following advice from your vids. Quality work mate!
Glad to have helped a little. Bamford is my favourite spot in the peaks
Absolutely superb vlog full of reviews and info and a stunning hike...
Thank you Adrian. Glad you enjoyed it.
Going back over your vid catalogue - another great one, always really useful kit reviews as well. Cheers
Another belter Paul. Great views with some good practical advice. Thanks
Glad you found it useful
Great informative vid Paul,, honking down as usual on the last leg, always the way on a hike over a few days. Keep up the good reviews on gear I’m finding this really helpful.
Hi Paul, I think this is my favourite of all your videos, selecting the best lightweight equipment for a good distance hike. Your videos are so informative and I've been buying a lot of my equipment based on your reviews. You're always welcome down to West Cornwall for a good camping and hiking trip.
Brother and I did that route along Rushup edge a few years back when it was still a long march through boggy land, which we did in very wet windy weather. Glad to know they had laid stones since then!
always a pleasure to watch your latest vid, ordered some of those towels, great bit of kit, look forward to the next vid thnaks for taking the time ATB Kaizer
Mam Tor was busy when I went there last summer. If you walk more than 10 minutes away though it gets quiet! I walked in the opposite direction to you when I was there. Thanks for making the effort to make videos.
It's a very popular spot
Love your videos Pauly, really inspire me to get outdoors and go for a camp. I recently bought a swag which im really enjoying!
Nice one, Paul. "None of that trail mix malarkey" 👍
Notice when editing I'd repeated myself through the day 🤣
Nice vid. Good to see you out with Andrew, his channel is great.
Andy is a top bloke. Great videos too
Wonderfully informative. Thank you.
I was around mam tor last weekend, on the 'road to nowhere'. Its only half the hill it was from the 1800's. Great video, as usual Paul. Thanks for sharing 😊
The landslide definitely had a huge impact on that
Enjoyed your hike and gear talk through , liking the bag Paul it looks the dogs ..... That little sawyer certainly has a great flow rate.. I always carry jelly babies with me for my sugar rush and have my choccy with a little drink.
Nice too see Andy out with you .. atb Dave..
Cheers Dave. The pack is excellent. Big fan of the Sawyer too. Much faster than my other filters. I'm partial to a midget gem myself for the sugar rush. ATB Paul
Great vid - Love this route - gonna have to give it a go meself sometime! Just started the Pennine Way, gonna do it in sections. I have only done Edale to Crowden so far, and I carried far too much stuff - so fascinated by any form of weight saving options! So thanks for the tips! ATB Adam
I'd love to do the pennine way but I would need a couple of weeks at least off work. Glad you find the vids useful
Another great vid! Thanks for sharing.
Great film Paul, really enjoyed that, and your honest reviews of your gear and food are very good, many thanks.
Thanks for watching. Best wishes. Paul
2 blokes that got me into walking again and wild camping 👌
You got yourself walking mate. Keep it up. it's nice that we may have given you a few ideas though.
Excellent video Paul. Lots of information from kit to cupa soups. Love all your kit you use on all your videos. And stunning locations to. Totally hooked on your channel Paul keep em comming. 😊👍
Appreciate the support Robert
Nice one Paul. Stunning views on this one. Good to see Andy out and about with you. I think you've got to try and find a happy medium between weight saving and carrying gear you like using.
Excellent as always...........atb Andy👍
Exactly Andy. There are some things that are worth the extra weight
Besides tent & quilt I am using almost the same setup. I'd agree the Levity 45 disappears on your back. I'd also agree with your assessment on M&Ms. I am going to have to check out Summit to Eat - never seen freeze dried salmon as a selection before.
I've not tried every dehydrated brand but since I came across summit to eat, I always go with that now. They taste like a real meal which is what you need after a hike. what tent and quilt do you have?
Love your videos watch all the way through like your Derwent river walk from ladybower to derby
Ace video again. I've got one of the trekology pillows , great price comfy and lightweight. Thanks For the great video!
I think it's a very good bit of kit for the price
Most enjoyable Paul,like the tent management mine usually looks like a bomb site.don’t think I could hike,camp and film at the same time.excellent.
My tent is usual a right mess too
Excellent video of a great looking ridge.
Thank you. It's a lovely part of the world
Great one Paul, love the gear reviews and the Trail Mix!! 😊👌
Thanks Daniel.
You Heathen Mez. You had beef stew without Hendos. I use one of those BRS stoves but I also carry a small foil windscreen made from a foil roasting dish. Very light and makes all the difference. Might have to do that walk myself this year. Atb mate.
A short bit of aluminium flashing fixes the wind blowing the flame around (including on your pocket rocket) as saves fuel.
What a fantastic film Paul, loved it, I'm gonna have a crack at that myself soon after watching that, good quality film pal
Cheers Steve. It's a great route
Great video . You've inspired my daughter and I to go on our first wild camp this weekend. Wish us luck 😊
That's awesome...where are you off to?
Good luck!
@@PaulMessner inspiring videos as always. Cheers...
Great vid mate. Just purchased a few of they meals. I use a platypus 2 litre pouch for my sawyer filter. Great for grabbing extra to save on more trips 👍
Andy had a bigger water bag and I think at some point I'll upgrade. It does make more sense when you need the extra water.
The wipes look like a good idea I’m looking them up
Good to hear from you in a new vid. 👍
Thanks mate. Hope you liked it
Great Vids Paul. Am enjoying your gear reviews in the field. Just about to buy a load of new gear so they have been really helpful. Keep up the good work mate.
Cheers mate. Thanks for watching. Best wishes. Paul
Nice vid Paul. Great to see Andy make a guest appearance as i love his vids too. I would always say stick with a good brand stove as if it fails you are eating cold slop, however you have your titanium mug and bushcraft skills.
I always have a backup plan to boil but as you say it requires making a small fire. It was nice to catch up with Andy
Paul, thank you very much for giving me new inspiration for my upcoming hiking trip. I was looking for something like the dehydrated wipes :-)
They are very handy item. they weigh nothing and saves you carrying a pack full of wet wipes on every trip that you may not need.
Thanks for the update Paul, good vid. One of my favourite walks that. Never seen it so busy! Intrigued by the Sawyer squeeze so might have to replace my mini now as well! Like the look of the Osprey, we're doing the Freedom trail across the Pyrenees in the summer so might be a good choice to replace my kestrel. Good shout on the minstrels but no good with my dogs!
The squeeze is definitely better than the other small filters such as the mini and trailshot. That's a coincidence...I've just had a new quilt arrive from the pyrenees today. As Tucas climashield. Looking forward to testing that.
Just checked the prices online...ouch! Might have trouble justifying those 😞. Looking forward to the Pyrenees so training hard - did Offas dyke circuit from Llanthony Abbey on Sat in a oner 28k 6.5hrs so always good to catch the vids for motivation 😁
Love your videos Paul. Did quite a bit of backpacking a few years ago then drifted away from it doing other things. I try not to think about my own mortality but having reached the ripe age of 62.....and a half, and still being relatively fit, I've decided to get back into it while I'm still able. Your videos are a great source of information and inspiration. Did an overnight wild camp in North Wales this last weekend to try out my stuff again. Really enjoyed it. I was only 30 seconds from the van, but slowly, slowly, catchy monkey! It's probably just me but you remind me of John Thomson from The Fast Show. I keep expecting you to say at the start of your videos, "Hi, and welcome to jazzzz club". Take care my friend. Love you new little companion by the way.
I love the view down into hope Valley from kinder, I Once walked down the side of the valley off the trail right to where kinder downfall comes out of the ground and I won't be doing that again it was so difficult to get back up haha
Hi Paul, I'm looking forward to the summer when me and the family are out that way. Ive been telling the Mrs how lovely it is for months and finally she has agreed to holiday there 😬
Ive got some walking planned and also I want to visit the caves.
Thanks for sharing mate
ATB Mike
StayCornish😬
Sorry for the late reply Mike. Been away in the sun. Thanks for watching. Best wishes. Paul
Thanks Paul, must try that one
Cheers Widgy
I sacked my BRS stove too Paul because it was loud and very poor, even in a slight breeze. Gone for the Soto windmaster and very happy with it 👍🏻 ATB Jiffy
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
brilliant video thanks for sharing !
Went up Mam Tor last year in November 2018 and there were only three people for miles around. Lovely.
Nice video, interesting track, great views. ThumbsUp!
Great video mate
Add a 6-10gramme cone shelter for the BRS stove, and save yourself the tippy height and 40g of the extra 50gr weight of the MSR Pocket rocket. The BRS is frugal on gas, and has a much lower footprint (less likely to topple, especially with a stabiliser for the canister. Works well when given a wee bit of wind shelter, I find. Cheers from the North.
Great video.Enjoyed it a lot !!!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
That was grand👍 Thought you were pulling our legs with the rehydrated cloth....I seem to remember your insta-steak ruse using beef jerky😉. Smashing track and paths with great views. For the weight of the BRS I’d keep as backup. I had a Coleman Peak one fail on me years ago on An Teallach’s second munro. Ended up eating dry pot noodle. I was freezing ....it was Rank.
Good point Del. I do carry a mini fire kit so I could always get a brew but would need at least a few twigs. I need to do another leg puller video sometime. Unfortunately you'd be surprised how many people don't have a sense of humour.
nice place to camp and walk around, keep up the good vids
That rock formation you thought was Pym chair is called the pagoda Paul. Nice video as always, keep up the good work 👍🏻
Brilliant vid and some cracking kit 👌 kg though???! That's very manageable mate, you'll be floating up those hills. Loved that walk awesome ridge, I need to do that at some point. Great to see Andy join you too. Cheers for sharing and defo catch up soon. Take care Steve
The mountain goat will never float mate haha. You need to get down here sometime and check out the Peaks. It was good to catch up with Beavo. He know's his shit around that area. Learned quite a lot from him. See you on the next one mate.
Thanks for using our Micro Squeeze Filter!
Really impressed with it. I'm sure it will make an appearance on many more trips
Really enjoyed the walk. Thanks for capturing it for us. I bought the BSR stove and tested it with the Stanley mug. I found that it’s just too inefficient when compared to my Jetboil. Out of curiosity, do you have a cook pot with the heat sink fins for your pocket rocket? If not, what cook pot are you using with it; the same one used with the BSR?
Thanks again for the video. The terrain you walk in so much different than mine. Beautiful in its own way.
Great video like your back pack and your tent nice one mate like it
Cheers Andrew
Good film bud. Thanks for your reply reference the Akto. Pretty sure I’m going to go for one. Another good film Paul, that Osprey pack looks nice 👍👍
Any time! It's a great tent. The pack is great too, however I still prefer my Exos 48
Hi Paul... another great walk...glad you took us along..them clothes are the Bollox...lol Nice views and good to see what gear your using...atb Muz
Cheers Muz. It was nice to get out and put some miles in. ATB Paul
Great video Paul, good to see the gear your using, very interesting and useful ref future purchases myself, thx for sharing, take care,atb
Thanks for watching. Best wishes. Paul
None of that trail mix malarkey! Love It!
Another great video Paul, I do like watching yours and Andys channels, you’re a pair of great honest guys and I am dead jealous of you both living so close to the hills. Great walk as well, good distance and I love the M&M quote better than your trail mix 😂😂😂 keep em coming guys. Atb to both of you. Tony
Thanks again for watching Tony. Glad you are enjoying the vids
Excellent film Paul, I'm intrigued with the Osprey Levity as I currently have the older style Exos and it digs into my shoulders.
I seen heehaw on Kinder Scout on my only visit. Mam Tor looks a good walk.
Cheers
Robin
It's a great walk Robin. I really like the levity but I think only having 8kg with water definitely helps.
@@PaulMessner my base weight is around 8kg too. Might look into it.
The typical "welcome back rain" 😁😉
Exactly
I have done this walk a few times, I sometimes get a late train to hope do the lap over night then get the train hope if I don’t have time to walk and camp, I know a good walk from Matlock to Edale. I only started watching your videos yesterday so you will see me posting on some older videos
Great vid paul 👍🏻
Cheers Danny
Nice walk Paul and some great gear too :-)
Cheers Russ
Youre videos are ones of the best...Tks .
I.m woandering now , if that water(yellow colour) you filtred with Sawer' it was good to be consumed?!
Excellent hike and video as always Paul, really impressed with that backpack of yours. I'm with you on the Galaxy Minstrels! Lol!👍
Thanks Anthony. Chocolate over raisins for me every time. Atb Paul
great camp..some nice new gear too..I used the BRS stove on my west highland way hike, i agree with you, its not that good, mine packed up twice on the hike and one of the arms bent over, not wot you want , when u in the highlands, i use either MSR rocket or the Alpkit Koro now as my gas go-tos. ATB WJ
Andy is a fan of the koro. It looks a good bit of kit.
Great video and nice photography 👍I have that stove it’s great and very cheap too.
Great video as always
Thanks Dessie
Hey Paul, another wonderful video. Thank you. I was wondering if you still rate the Levity and Sawyer Squeeze 3 years down the line as I'm thinking of buying them. Thanks again.
Really nice video looked like Piccadilly circus with all them people still it's nice to see more people out and about always amazes me how you can remember the names and weights of the various equipment you mention anyways great vlog really entertaining
Thanks for watching. Best wishes. Paul
Those expanding towels are great, if you go to your Chemist and get a urine sample tube you can fit 7 of them inside and the weight is only 30g. Thanks for advise on the Cloud Peak/Helm debate by the way..
Did you know Paul that 'hope' in old English means Valley? I thought I'd share that with you. Good you meeting up with Andy. He's a good man and we enjoy our chats regarding each others adventures here on youtube. Always positive! I gotta say I enjoy the color of your water there - mixed with good grub it no doubt makes for an interesting chow down. The Peak district was looking impressive as ever. Good going. Mark
It's true that you learn something new every day Mark. I din't know that about Hope. Andy probably knew. He knows everything haha. The water is a strange thing. There is a slight tinge to the taste but I've never had any issues drinking it. ATB Paul
@@PaulMessner Yeah Andy knows a fair bit Paul - that's why I like to talking to him. He's like the magic. I do like water and tasting different waters - I would like that water no doubt. Have a great end to the week...
Good vid. Trail tip if using those annoying sawyer squeeze bags, cut down a cheap, thin, squidgy spring water bottles (shop bought) use it as a scoop to pour water into the sawyer bag. It will squash down to pack away weighs nothing.
Great tip. I do have a cut off bottle in my pack. You may have seen it in use in other videos of mine. Thank you
Cracking that mate "none of that trailmix malarky " loved that,nowt like a bag e choccy's to keep the sugar levels up lol..you did cracking mate it's a long challenging walk is that & glad i was able to get up & meet you up there really enjoyed it.look forward to the next un mate..atb..Andy.
Thanks Andy. I see it didn't take you long to get aaart agin. How was Gunnerside? It was nice to catch up mate. Looking forward to the next one already. See you soon Cheers
@@PaulMessner great place up Gunnerside mate can get very busy wknds tho & especially in summer.
Love the bungee and stake tip to stop search pad blowing away. I usually plonk something heavy on the edge- and no, I don’t mean my backside :-p
Great vid, spoke to you on instagram, Cumbria Way bloke lol. Top walk! Done it in the Summer, in ice last year and snow this, was a killer by the end and just made the end of daylight. Enjoyed that, cheers. Right pack weight too!
I remember David. Glad you enjoyed the video. Looking forward to taking on the Cumbria Way later this year.
Agree with your observations about the BRS and Pocket Rocket. Got both and if I'm away for a few days I'm taking the Rocket. BRS is fine if you don't use Colmans gas and it's a still night, not the sort of thing you need to find out when it's too late so a brutal 50g extra for peace of mind. Oh, and my wind block borrowed from the msr universal.
Gonna stick with the pocket rocket when using gas for most of my trips now. Thanks for watching.
Yay! It's great to see your videos again. (Lots of people here*that was funny you never get to see so many poeple at same time at outdoors but mybe its becoming more tourist) anyways. Great to see your videos. I always get so jealous of all the cool gear youbhave but great. Also i love when i see candys around your camp.
Thank you. The candy is a great shot of energy
Another great video, thank you! Have you seen the cnoc water bladders? They're good for shallow water sources.
I've seen those bladders. i tend to use a cut down thin water bottle as a scoop. I packs flat and works pretty well. If the sawyer bags give way then I may upgrade. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Paul, I'm still tent hunting. Having had the photon 1 for some time now, how does it perform in wind considering its limited design. How durable is it considering its light weight. Cheers Julian.
Great video as ever
Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic video, great kit. Is the levity made of dyneema? And is it effectively waterproof? Taped seams?
Hi Paul, cheers for the heads up on the BRS. I’ve been thinking of getting one for a while, maybe as a backup then. I’ve only used my levity with a pack cover in the rain. How did it hold up without one? Keep up the good vids. Nice to see what kit works in the uk climate.
Sometimes showing what's not so good is just as valuable information. The pack held up well in the rain and shed water pretty well. I do put everything inside a thin waterproof pack liner though so nothing can get wet.
Wow, what a busy place but good to see you did manage to get a bit of peace and quiet in the end. Andrew Beavers is very quickly getting to be one of my favorite channels to watch, great channel and a real canny lad. After watching yours and several other videos, I just bought my very first GoPro, getting the Hero 7 Black. Any thoughts on an extremal mic and filming in 4 K/1080p? Great views in the morning and quite a hike over the 2 days to be honest. Shame about the last mile and the rain - sods law lol! Cheers Alan
Hi Alan
Andy makes some superb videos. He's far better than me at capturing the landscapes. the hero 7 black is superb for it's size. I've started filming in 4k now. As i'm outdoors the wider angle isn't too bad. I do carry a lav microphone and the adapter but all of my latest videos area straight from the gopro with no external microphone. I do cover with a windslayer though which drastically reduces the wind interference
Great video as always ..... I got the hilleberg tent handbook this week and there was your akto on page 47. Well done 👍
Thank you. I was pleased to see they used my photo.
That photo was one of the reasons I purchased my sand Akto, simply stunning Paul 😎😎😎
Hi Paul. I've been watching a few of your videos over the last few weeks as I've always had an interest in backpacking and have now started to prepare for my first trip. It's always interesting to listen and watch other people with more experience so keep up the good work. One question though. I checked online and the peak District website said that wild camping in the park land is not allowed. Is this right or am I missing something? PDNP is the not far from me so would make a nice trip if I could be sure to camp there ok. Cheers
It's not technically allowed but pitch high, late and be discreet. I've never had a problem
Awsome vid ur lucky to hike there
Great video as always. I'd love to see a comparison/review of the levity versus exos sometime, or even just your thoughts
I'm happy to do that Sam
Howdy… I bought a levity… notice it’s not much of your kit these days… I’d also like to see that comparison
