Hello stripey.Love the 20 min video because when i watch your 5 to 10 min vids i feel i want more lol.Pls consider putting up more longer vids.U rock dude.
Hi stripey good to see u do video of what u take and how u pack ure things very informative very good video just you keep up great work u doing keeping us All informed big shout out to u stripey u the man please keep doing what u do cheers pal thanks
Thanks a lot Davy! I use the Toaks titanium 650 ml (link in description) plus usually a piece of kitchen roll in it to avoid any 'moving' noises from the gas cartridge. Thanks for watching! ATB Stripey
Hi miltonofbuchanan, I guess you must have missed it. I show my very reduced kit for this type of tour at 13:28 min. Not necessarily what is recommended but again it is very personal and just based on my personal experiences which I gained - e.g. cutting your hands on ice, stabbing with crampons when falling/slipping... Thanks a lot for watching. ATB Stripey
Super well organized review of gear . I like the idea of puting the waterproof clothes in the sleeping bag compartment , at least when there dry . What's your plan B if they do get wet at one point but you dont need them after a sudden downpour ? I prefer to put my sleeping bag in a drybag for tranquility of mind . You say your sleeping bag is rated - 16 , is it the extrem limit or the comfort zone of the bag ? I find that gaz canister can go a long way if you store it inside your puffy jacket an hour before using it and isolated from the frozen ground by a small piece of foam cell pad . I see that your already over a thousand subs , wont be long before the 10 000 , go go go Stripey !
Hi Bon Pecheur, try to answer all of it :-) When they get wet during a downpour I put them outside on the rucksack for drying or try to wear it to the spot where I want to pitch the tent (e.g. did this by the Aonach Eagach Ridge). Putting the Sleeping bag in a drybag is for sure better, but I don't have one yet - maybe Santa will get me one :-) The -16 degree Celsius of the criterion sleeping bag is apparently the comfort temperature (not tested yet, coldest night was around -9 degree Celsius yet) Thanks a lot with the gas canister tip, never did this before - usually I just swapped for my multi-fuel but as mentioned it is super duper heavy in comparison. Thank you so much Bon Pecheur! ATB Stripey
Yes found that interesting to compare your packing choices. Perhaps my only surprise was your food was limited to a single pasta in evening and 3 or 4 snack bars during first day? Would you agree most people need in addition a solid lunch and chocoate/nuts on first day as well, plus a solid breakfast following morning before you break camp and begin descent?
Very good point, surprised that no one else pointed it out. Yeah food would be usually more but for a short hike like this it is for me sufficient (took actually the same food on the winter scramble/wild camp. A good musli breakfast and a sandwich for an early lunch means that I only miss dinner out - a good friend of mine back in Germany was always complaining about my hard rationed food on multi day hikes 😂😂😂
@@StripeyHatGuy yeh at least if I understand correctly I can understand why your good friend might well complain if he was on the same rations as you. 😄😄 But in all seriousness food discipline in packing and capacity to get buy means those people can achieve their ambitions with a bit more alacrity. Well done.
Absolutely! One of my all time favourite calorie dense food is cashew nuts and cranberries which I believe have a really good weight to calorie + cost ratio and it also can't melt, sqash and it has a brilliant packsize. Food is just difficult, everyone has different needs and preferences 😉👍
No worries, I would have put the link in but right now I am on my way to work - didn't want to come across short mate 👍. Aye, they are in my opinion one of the best light crampons out there for their weight and the alloy heel keeps up better then you would think (said this they are also really easy to sharpen!). ATB Stripey
@@StripeyHatGuy not at all. Good info thanks. My micro spikes are the same weight but they obviously have their limitations (and uses) so these would be a good alternative.
Thanks! I can definitely recommend them! I am personal not a big fan of micro spikes, but it is obviously depending what for tours you are doing. The big advantage with some light crampons is that you are ready for the case that the terrain gets steeper than expected. If you look into crampons I would recommend to think of the hikes you have in mind. "Shorter" front teeth makes walking easier in less steep terrain but gives "less" hold when it gets steep. Said this it sounds more dramatic then it is 😉.
@@StripeyHatGuy i thought it might not be,but if you’re comfortable carrying it,weight shouldn’t be an issue,I’m not bothered carrying more if it means I’m more comfortable 👍
Hi Rainbow Trails, I have an old version of the Grivel Air Tech Evolution, I took a long one as I used him back in the Alps mainly for walking in steepish terrain/glaciar. The newer version is amzn.to/3rOFsPw (affiliate link!) Cheers Stripey
Hi Fish-o Holic, I actually didn't mention it. I assume it will be around 18kg - never weight it to be honest I just take the things which I need for the trips and try to safe weight as good as it gets piece by piece. This is basically the same pack as in the last winter wild camp just without a helmet so it is still possible to do hands on activities 😂👍 (will weigh it next time when I remember 🤞)
Hi Mark, I am very sorry but it is a tremendous amount of work for me to do some subtitles for my videos...so I am afraid I won't do some. If you have a particular question or anything just ask and and I will do my best 👍
@@StripeyHatGuy I think youtube does subtitles automatically? Yours are in German though. Didn't know if it was just a case of clicking a youtube button to turn it to English?
Yeah it does some stuff automatically, not sure why it does show it in German tbh. I just checked the video settings and from my understanding it requires me to put in the subtitles manually 🤔
You are the most German German I have ever heard. Glad you're having fun in my home country of Scotland :)
Cheers, I do 😂😊👍 ATB Stripey

Hi stripey, first of all - love your videos, keep up the good work. Just wanted to ask what size of toaks pot you use?
Thanks a lot Davy! I use the Toaks titanium 650 ml (link in description) plus usually a piece of kitchen roll in it to avoid any 'moving' noises from the gas cartridge.
Thanks for watching!

Great video, loads of good info but i notice you don't take a emergency survival sack or basic first aid kit ?

Very enjoyable. Thanks stripey. Which are the smaller crampons? Atb gordon
Thanks a lot for watching Gordon. The link to the crampons is in the video description mate. ATB Stripey
@@StripeyHatGuy apologies. I had noticed the link. Thanks. Their a good weight. 560g for the pair.

Hi pete, will weigh it the next time I have the chance but it is for sure not the lightest 😃.

Not sure if you mentioned it, but what was the weight of your pack?
