In experienced hiker doing the west Highland in April 2020. Some Good stuff, and good to know. Didn't know about the sleeping bag not sleeping with clothes on though.
Yoo I absolutely loved this video of yours, this is such an incredible look at the backpacking kit! I especially really like how you edit your videos and put everything together, very professional and so well made, such high quality! The energy throughout this video was so relaxing, laid back and uplifting, I'm so excited to see what else you make, keep it up, I subscribed!
Thanks for the video. Much of this will come in handy if I ever get the nerve to stay overnight on one of my hikes. I live in the US, Pacific northwest and it gets cold at night. If I can keep my feet warm I might like camping out, but I can never seem to manage it. Thanks again.
Kinaya thank you! Luckily over here in UK it doesn't get any colder than about -18c That's the lowest temperature I've ever overnight camped in. I know in some part of US it gets much colder than that!😊
Superb insight into your kit. This was a real treat listening to the tried, tested and finely tuned system of a true kit connoissuer. Thanks for sharing. More than a little envious of some of your stuff. I look forward to following your West Highland Way walk. Atb, rich.
Gaziano Outdoors thanks Gaz, I see videos on TH-cam where guys chuck all their kit in 1 large dry bag in their rucksack - that would drive me insane! 😄😁
Good luck with the CWT. Done it twice and loved it. Wild camping at Sandwood is a must. Gives you a great buzz on the last night when you are sitting on the beach and the lighthouse lamp comes on. I'm starting Hebridean Way next week, watched your video as part of my prep cheers!
OldStag72 oh, thanks for the tip about the bay and the lighthouse! I have actually been to the Cape but I took the little boat ferry and the minibus about 7 years ago. On the minibus we did get a sight of the bay and it looked beautiful!👍😎
Dropping another LIKE on your video - Watching and Supporting - this gear may be for hiking, but looks like some serious survival gear - which I might think it could be on very long hikes!
What a great group of gear! Haven't done a lot of multi-day treks myself, but all this looks like it would be quite the upgrade to my gear haha. Thanks for sharing! - Shane
DnSAdventures I used to spend my time in the outdoors mostly climbing up mountains until a few years ago when I did a 3 day trek to a remote Loch in Scotland and I was hooked! Now instead of mostly going up mountains I walk through them! Thanks for watching!👍😊
I really enjoyed that and thank you for putting it together. Much food for thought and helped me greatly in accessing lighter options for planned spring and summer backpack trips :)
Fantastic kit, all super light weight and like you say super expensive but hey ho it's out there so fair play and power to you. I am extremely tight so still getting it together and suffering on the trail. Love the Saywer squeeze going to get that as mine did freeze up last time i was out and had to melt snow for my last drink. Nice review look forward to your WHW. ATB. Jim.
Jim Holden thanks Jim, over the 20 or so years I've been doing outdoor stuff my equipment has slowy got better and lighter and more expensive but I started out with the cheapest stuff back in the day! 😊
My rain gear is about the only expensive stuff I have the rest mostly comes from ALDI and similar stores, never had any problems 😁 and I've been to hell and back
just subed to your channel working my way through your many videos and they do look good, Thanks for the sub, good luck for your future adventures, Take Care, Les.
Wanderer of the Desert thanks my friend! You can't go wrong with an Exos, really comfortable pack, nice weight and reasonably priced and of course that world famous guarantee! 👍😊
You’ve certainly got some nice kit there and like you I spend far too much money on equipment etc. Still we only live once so why not indulge ourselves? I’d never dream of going to Scotland in the summer months without a midge net, a most vital piece of gear. Cheers snowy matrix. ⛺️
LiveSimplyFilms: Mountain Mike thanks Mike, I read somewhere once that the only rival to a Scottish midge was an Alaskan midge. These two cousins are the most viscous in the world! 😊
Great kit review,I like the idea of the montane prism booties as I always get cold feet wild camping,will have to look online 👍ATVB to you paulaandage.
Mark Thompson you can find the poles for under a hundred if you look around and they are also available in aluminum around 60-70 quid mark if I remember correctly. Thanks for watching! 👍😊
OMG great kit video. Some of your kit I already own, some of your kit I'm thinking about getting and the rest I would happily use instead of what I've already got. Also it looks like you are going to best me to do the Cape Wrath Trail, that's another hike I'm probably going to do in the future.
Paul Willcocks thanks mate! I met two people on the Hebridean Way and we've formed a trail walking friendship. We are doing a WHW together in April/May that'll be my 3rd I love it! And in September two of us are going for The Cape Wrath trail hopefully! 😊
The Trail Hunter very good so far even though I was a bit worried about carbon poles being prone to snapping. I've only used these new ones on The Great Glen Way which doesn't have much challenging ground. They will get a proper workout on The Cape Wrath Trail next week!👍😎
Fantastic, I was thinking about bringing a folding one like that with me travelling in September as I don't want one hanging out of a side pocket. Food for thought. Would love to hike the West Highland Way soon.
The Trail Hunter The West Highland Way is a great experience! I've done it twice and would do it every year if I could! You will meet many like-minded people from all over the world on it and have a great time in the pubs and stuff along the way!👍😎
Hi Lezley, I got it from a guy on eBay called stokepa31 He has a lot of light weight stuff which he makes himself. Just search "Tread Lite Gear Chest Pack / Front Pouch Cuben Fiber or X-Pac Ultralight 18g" and you'll find his store on eBay. :-)
Heh heh, "lighter and more expensive" with that silly warning, "don't blame me...!" HA, you're just like a drug pusher, putting all that great stuff in front of my nose! Addiction, addiction! Say, now, do you use your kit in separate stuff sacks like that? I finally have gotten to the point that I just have a couple sacks for cooking stuff, and then just stuff the rest altogether in one big sack. Finding that the sacks themselves are the root of my frustrations. Finally, how do you like the silk liner? Do you find that you get tangled in it? Is it worth that annoyance? OK, now Im' going to go check the price of those prism booties! Thanks so much, Jules.

Awesome set up, you are prepared for almost any conditions.

Absolutely awesome my friend , full view and thumbs up,,👍
Thanks Shadow my friend 👍🍺🍺🌞🌞
Great rundown on your gear. Very useful info. I can personally vouch for the net in Scotland 😀👍🍻
Thanks! The net is worth its weight in gold! :-)
Fantastic kit, all super light weight and like you say super expensive but hey ho it's out there so fair play and power to you. I am extremely tight so still getting it together and suffering on the trail.

Haha, that lightweight gear is so expensive. Great find on the half price jacket though, I like the color.
Radiant Wanderings thank you, I never walk into the High Street and pay brick shop price for outdoor gear anymore thanks to eBay & Amazon!👍😊

Regarding footwear - I wear everything from light weight trail-runners to 3-4 season big heavy leather boots. Know your route, and expect the worst.
Very wise👍🍺

Wow thats an impressive selection of equipment you have...way out of my league. 😆.. what kind of price are those walking poles? Really like those.
Mark Thompson you can find the poles for under a hundred if you look around and they are also available in aluminum around 60-70 quid mark if I remember correctly. Thanks for watching! 👍😊
quality vid, well put together mate 👍
Albion Camping thanks mate! 👍😊

garn fora ratch thanks mate! 👍😊
Nice kit list too Fella. How did the poles hold up over the miles?
The Trail Hunter very good so far even though I was a bit worried about carbon poles being prone to snapping. I've only used these new ones on The Great Glen Way which doesn't have much challenging ground. They will get a proper workout on The Cape Wrath Trail next week!👍😎

Linkless Tennessee thanks my friend! 😊
Ty for the share there
Great channel...
Gym Garage Man thanks! 👍😊
Cool video man, but yeah to expensive for me. your boots almost cost as much as my entire pack and im on 12lbs base weight
World Survivalist that's cool. I like my creature comforts to go any lower than the 18/20 lbs mark. Thanks for stopping by! 👍😊
Oh where did you get the kangaroo pouch from?
Hi Lezley, I got it from a guy on eBay called stokepa31 He has a lot of light weight stuff which he makes himself. Just search "Tread Lite Gear Chest Pack / Front Pouch Cuben Fiber or X-Pac Ultralight 18g" and you'll find his store on eBay. :-)
snowy matrix thanks
snowy matrix oh just saw the price, maybe later lol I will carry on using a converted bag that I have lol
Heh heh, "lighter and more expensive" with that silly warning, "don't blame me...!" HA, you're just like a drug pusher, putting all that great stuff in front of my nose! Addiction, addiction! Say, now, do you use your kit in separate stuff sacks like that? I finally have gotten to the point that I just have a couple sacks for cooking stuff, and then just stuff the rest altogether in one big sack. Finding that the sacks themselves are the root of my frustrations. Finally, how do you like the silk liner? Do you find that you get tangled in it? Is it worth that annoyance? OK, now Im' going to go check the price of those prism booties! Thanks so much, Jules.
steinwaygoat 😂🤣😂😂😅
steinwaygoat I'm still laughing at the drug dealer comments and didn't see the rest of the comments!
steinwaygoat I do use all the stuff sacks in my pack. It would drive me insane to have to dig into one large sack to find what I'm looking for!
I do sometimes get tangled in the liner but it doesn't really bother me I just like to keep the bag clean and wash only the liner.
Like waching you video
