I subscribe to Haze Outdoors too, and yeah, he's off his trolley for certain. :-) Those views were stunning! Nice addition to the Rab. Have been considering that vestibule for a BA tent I have.
Looked a tough ol slog up to the summit ! The wee mod with the vestibule works a treat and makes it a workable space for cooking storage etc . Still a very atmospheric camp and good test of the gear. atb Dave
Cheers Dave, the old knees are suffering tonight, I need to lose a few fair pounds, tent was great and no condensation in the Rab, eVent really works well.
That sleeping mat is ridiculously comfortable. I absolutely hate my thermarest, but for mild nights, the Edeuoey winds hands down. Here's hoping the TPU coating is decent and it doesn't burst after several uses. Great video mate.
That Rab tent must be bigger than it looks. I got one of those mats and it wouldn’t fit in my gonex. Too long. I’ve got the review to upload. It was comfy though. Looked nice with the porch. And then a slog. I’d have went home 😂 👍
Nice one Andrew, that vestibule looks a must for the tent on a wet forecast. You sure picked one of the boggiest munros to do after the rain, not gonna make you enjoy munros much that 🤣🤣
Hi Andrew, I've just 'bought another tent' (A Park Trade Mark). It's a Wild Country Helm 1 Compact. I've not tried it yet but plan on an outing this weekend. If you'd like to review it, I'd be happy to give it to you for a couple of weeks. Yours aye, Norrie frae Lithgae
Nice one Andrew. That minimalist really was that!: he’d have struggled in the rain. Camped at that wee lochan a few years back. Underestimated the slog up (after work) and ended pitching in the dark but was a good morning. Atb gordon
Last climbed in 99, roasting hot day with a hangover from hell. Even reading the mountain's name in the title sent shivers up my spine 🥺🥺. Absolute slog as you rightly said. Might revisit it now. ATB Andy👍
Great video. Love the gear reviews. I hear so much about midges, how do their bites compare to mosquitos? Wish I could get back to Scotland before I get too old to enjoy the outdoors. 🏴⛰❤️
Midge bites swell but, on me, mosquito bites are worse. However, midges come in tens of thousands. I have inhaled them, not by choice, when they were really bad at the KIngshouse. One or two will find the spot you missed with the repellent. If you can resist scratching, the swelling will disappear after about an hour but it will persist if you scratch. So, the bit which you need to get with the repellent are wrists. A bite on the wrist gets rubbed by my shirt cuff and can itch for a couple of days. Here’s a drastic cure for midge bites. I was exposed to mosquitoes in the Philippines for 2 years of VSO and then went to NZ, where the sandflies really got me. Back home, midge bites did not react. Sadly, the effect wore off.
@@gordonmculloch4904 Usually not 😂 They tend to congregate in numbers and bite similarly. If I go out here at night for a few minutes I come back in with 5+ bites on exposed skin; legs, arms, etc.
Good video, got the mat as well, ok for a budget mat. Tent set up looked good, atb👍🏕👌
Cheers Colin, dying to try your hot tent set up, happy camping ! 🏕
@@AndrewParkOutdoors yeah they are great for winter👍🏕🏴👌

Thanks for watching , loving the vestibule and it's still a bearable weight. A

Nice one. 👍
Nice one Andy. Looked a tough climb that. Good effort. ATB Dave
Cheers Dave, my knees are feeling it this week, I'm taking up carpet bowls vlogging going forward 😀
@@AndrewParkOutdoors haha. I know that feeling 😁👍
Excellent video
Looking forward to the next one
Thanks 😊

Cheers Monty, they feel well made, think it would outlast my thermarest but I need that extra R value now the season is changing :-)
some beautiful views! rain changes everything. Glad your healthy and doing well. hello from ca.
Good to hear from you, yeh you've had some serious fires even by ca standards this year! Atb A
Camped on lochan chasteil a few years ago,a wonderful spot for a wildcamp
That's it decided , I'm up for that then, looks great.
Thank you, Andrew. Lovely views, as always, and interesting kit. 👍
Thanks Daniel
enjoyed that - re: heartrate monitoring- do you rest when it hits a certain point? or is it just so the paramedics know what happened to you?
Nice reviews/testing. Thank you for sahring. You have a wonderful week. Stay Safe. .
Thanks for watching . A

Ha , very tempted I was ! But I thought who just wants to watch a wet campsite, the things we do for viewers :-)
@@AndrewParkOutdoors yep. We should be paid in gold bars 😂
Love this channel mate 👍 class. Cheers
Thanks John!
Thanks Andrew. Nice video
Cheers Kit
Nice one buddy. 🙂🤙
I had one of those meals in Glencoe recently. Had to add twice the recommended amount of water as it came out in one huge lump. Tasty though.
Yeah it's weird, who came up with those measurements ? :-)
Nice one Andrew, that vestibule looks a must for the tent on a wet forecast. You sure picked one of the boggiest munros to do after the rain, not gonna make you enjoy munros much that 🤣🤣
Ha, I enjoyed it on the way down;-)

Cheers Norrie, nearly bought one, ticks a lot of boxes that. Might take you up on the offer, cheers. A
@@AndrewParkOutdoors Just let me know and I'll organise it. Yours aye, Norrie

Yeh spotted him walking about with plastic bags for socks, I'd tarp it in socal but not here.
@@AndrewParkOutdoors got to be the right weather for tarp and that defo was not.
@@AndrewParkOutdoors did he put gravel in the socks just for fun, or was he a softie?

To be fair the bloody sun came out going downhill and it was great though I detoured on vehicle track just to avoid more bog!

Thanks Ken, it's like death by a million cuts , itchy!!
Mosquitoes attack one at a time; midges attack en masse. Brutal. 😩 😂👍

What's the combined weight Andrew of Rab plus vestibule?
2.3kg Dave ( bearable )
You should change your channel name to "Andrew hates Munros"
I'm on it ;-)
