    Overall an excellent night, as the rain stopped @ 11:45 & after a light wind. I was inspired by your video to have a go & not retreat to a friends place! Thanks Paul.

    After 25years spent in arduous conditions with the Marines I never felt the need to wear waterproof trousers. A quick drying trouser was my preference as a waterproof outer was never fully waterproof and just became a burden to carry, also as long as core is kept warm legs never got cold. Great content 👍

They will get soaked but still manage to hold your fingers warm and dry very very quickly even with just body heat.

    Nice one Mr P. Really liked your menu. A Cuppa Soup is a very fine thing on a cold, lightweight camp. Really like your "supermarket takeaway and added from home ingredients" vacuum boil in the bag thing. For weight saving, have been doing a Cuppa Soup mixed with a 2 minute noodle, with all the sachets for flavour for years. Great for energy but insanely salty, grabbing for my water bottle through the night. Your set up would be way better. One of our spiritual leaders, Patrick Dickinson, did a vid of home cooked meals he put in a dehydrator, vacuum packed, froze etc and then reheated on the hill. This all looks so much better, for so little extra weight. Keep on keeping on!

    You know Paul, when you're using water to heat through a ready made meal, you don't need deep water. As long as you use a lid, an inch or two of water is all you need because the circulating steam will do the heating for you faster, using less precious water, fuel and time. Just don't remove the lid and lose steam and you're good.

      Wait, what? When you use an alcohol stove that is a no-go my friend. Just plan on using the remaining water for other uses such as an after dinner brew or perhaps a dehydrated dessert. Remember that many alcohol stoves have no heat control or off switch. You are committed to tusing hat partial full ounce of fuel once lit. Luxuriate in that extra hot water. I sometimes use my water bottle as a foot warmer. See you on the trail!

    Great Video Paul. I’m off to Scotland next week to bag a few Munros. This got me thinking about that. Thank you.

    I went to kinder the other day for the first time and I couldn’t find anywhere to pitch, it was all super boggy or not flat?! A little bit of local knowledge goes a long way I guess

    Using Staika (my first Hilleberg love), then Unna and also Akto. Can't figure out which one I like more to set up. Unna is super easy to pitch but in challenging conditions it can be some work too. Staika, similar as Soulo probably easier to pitch in windy conditions? thanks for sharing video. Lovely watching from cosy sofa! My big winter hike is yet to come!

    Hi Paul. Dont forget that Vern 1 (new) does not come from factory seam sealed. As it is Sil Nylon tent.

    Good to watch YOU camping up there like that, rather than ME. The wind, the rain... Give me a caravan any day - or a tent at or near ground level in good weather, like when we tented at Cambridge and on the Isle(s) of Lewis & Harris.

    Was looking for a quilt as being tall and broad and being a side sleeper struggle with sleeping bags. Would like to know what the quilt was and how it performed. Don't know if I missed it

    you favor the Nemo pad now Paul?. After trying 4 sleeping pads, I just got two for me and the Mrs. I think they are awsome.

      I'm deliberating between getting the Nemo or the 2024 Big Agnes Rapide SL insulated. Any comparisons and contrasts you have between the two would be much appreciated.

    For me I would choose the larger one for its broader use case scenarios and just accept the weight penalty. But that said if you consider that you can buy both of them for pretty much the same as a jet boil maybe budget permitting get both over time and take the one that fits the needs of the cap your planning 🤔.
