Wow 😮 what a treat
@@itshardgettinganame we got very lucky, it was amazing to see.
Me next year!!!
Did you traverse the whole ridge with a bivy?
I think it's crazy to keep your nalgene in your main compartment. So much better to keep it easily accessible on the shoulder. This pack would require additional bottle pockets to be added to the straps. Unfortunate, but doable.
So... He's a "multi talented MAN" when 'singing' to her, but he is not liable for how he treated his brother, as he wasn't adult enough to have had the responsibility? Make it make sense!
Am joining you!!
I take my tarp and bivi bag and sleeping mat Most heavy item is my snugpak softie elite 3 My bivi bag is a oex salamander I never eat when running like to be as light as possible 😂
🙏 *PromoSM*
Thx buddy!
Nice one 👍 Do you use personal locator beacons in the UK?
It seems like you're carrying a lot of unnecessary weight for running.
Great video. An awesome Channel..Just wondering in the video you were packing a 30l sack for overnight. I am mainly out just for a day in the mountains say 6 hours. Would a 30l sack be to large? I have an osprey talon 33 but wondering if I could get away with the 18-26l? Also would the life systems mountain first aid kit be to large to take for only two people?
Re the figure of 8 knot "do not use this not. ever". I assume you mean "do not use this knot ever, for joining two ropes together for abseiling", right?
Hello and thanks for the comment. Yes the "dont use this knot ever" is in the context of this video for tying ropes together. Figure of 8 knot is fine for tying onto the rope etc.
Spot on this mate, you explained everything in a perfect manner. managed to learn this super easy from watching this
Can you recommend a lightweight windbreaking jacket?
I am looking for warm. After a lunch break at the summit my hands go so cold it takes ages for them to warm up again. I bought expensive Mountain Equipment Goretex gloves and it felt like they cut the circulation off.
So what sort of weight are you carrying then?
As ever a really helpful video. I love dachstein mitts for emergency use. only about £25 a pair so I don't cry when I lose one 😂😂😂. Bulky and NOT waterproof but really really warm.
Greta video, thanks. It seems like every brand's version of the Guide gloves use some form of leather. Any ideas of a good pair of alternative that are free of animal products?
Good to see you back making excellent content Matt
Was about time I did some of these, my last video was in 2021 🤣
Top!!! Thank you!!
You don't need to take your pack off to drink if you add hydration tubing with one-way in air valve and bite valve. Located in the center of your pack adjacent to your spine you will minimize side to side thrusting as you run/hike. You might also reduce the weight of your H2O bottle by buying a Smart water bottle or equal, 1, 1.5 or 2 liter type and add hydration tubing and bite valve. No one-way air valve req'd. as the bottle is collapsible and blowing air back into it will reshape it.
Thanks for sharing this. How about sunscreen, toothpaste/brush, soap/wipes, towels, toilet things (trowel, toilet paper), first aid kit, and water filters? And I normally like to take at least one set of clean clothes to sleep in...wondering if you don't bother with that. And do you take and bear/critter sacks/cans or are those not needed in your part of the world?
Hi Jimmy, I didn't put the personal items on the video as its very specific and it would have made the video too long. A female fast packer for example would have very different personal items to a male with no hair! That was just my take. I do however think I should have added suncream as its a really important addition that everybody should take.
best simul rope coil video i have found
Thank you kindly! Great video!
Currently building my first scrambling rack for upping my scrambling grade, this is really useful and a great reference for everything needed! Cheers
I Think what you show is totally WRONG compair to simular Videos
Numerous methods on how to tie and lock-off mountaineering coils, this is just one of the approved methods in the UK. If you are referring to this being different to the Kiwi Coils, Swiss coils or any other method then it's not the same.
You are doing the right way men,a guy from Savoie, merci@@themountaineeringcompany
Good video, great that you covered Reynauds 👍🏻
Thanks for your comments, glad you liked it! :-)
Really appreciated this: everything you need, nothing you don't.
Thanks for the response, glad you liked it!
Burns water?!
the music in the first 10 seconds made me cream
Lloyd an I have been practicing these 👍
White gas has much better performance in both cold and altitude
It’s called a windburner not a wind boiler. And the reason your melted snow tastes burned is cause it is. When melting snow you need to have water in the bottom of the stove already hot. Otherwise you risk scorching your pot as well. Also give white gas a go and ditch the environmental catastrophe of canisters
another massive advantage of the single overhand is it easily slips through the eye of your figure eight meaning no stopping to disconnect from the rope and the associated dangers of that.
Good video, great name 👍
I've heard all the best people are called Matt Cooper! 🤣
I know this was a year ago but did you say what sleeping bag you had?
Hello. I used a Mountain Equipment Helium 250 Down sleeping bag . I purchased a high quality waterproof bag to store it in to stop the down getting wet. Can't remember the name of the bag, possibly Ortlieb. Hope that helps! :-)
Awesome video! Preparing for my first fastpacking adventure after enjoying trail running and backpacking for several years. Time to put them together! This video was SUPER helpful!
i know Im pretty off topic but do anyone know a good place to watch new tv shows online?
@Zayne Yael i dunno I watch on Flixportal. Just search on google after it=) -trey
@Trey Zaire Thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it !
@Zayne Yael glad I could help :D
Ugh. The bots are talking to each other… Will Smith was right in iRobot!! 🤖👿 🤖👿
One thing I’d like to point out to anyone for whom it isn’t clear-the use of overhands over other bends which may be perceived to be stronger is largely, though not solely, due to its aforementioned ability to NOT become stuck on retrieval. This is not a trivial concern. Getting your rope stuck can itself be a safety issue. Great video.
Nice 🙂
Cous cous is definitely not good for people who are gluten intolerant.
How about a Figure 8 Retrace with the ends backed up with Double Fishermans?!
Hi Jurak. I've found from experience that a double fisherman's knot whether used on its own to tie ropes together or with a retraced figure of eight (Flemish bend), is very likely to catch in a crack when pulling the ropes down. I've found an overhand is far less likely to do this which is why we teach using the overhand rather than any other knot. I would never recommend using the flat figure of eight. Whatever knot you use its important to understand the pros and cons and use the right knot for your objective. Hope that answers your questions. Happy climbing! Matt
at that point why keep making more and more complicated knots when you can just do an overhand?
The correct and safe way to use a figure 8 knot for joining ropes to rappel is to fix the core problem, not to throw a double-fisherman's* on as a bandaid. the flemish bend (figure 8 bend) should be correctly performed in this manner rope1LOAD knot rope1TAIL rope2TAIL knot rope2LOAD in this way, the bend/knot is stressed only along its strong axis and will not be at risk of rolling apart. It still has the weakness of not being a flat knot and having a risk of being caught. * - do you mean a double barrel on two ropes? do you have enough tail to perform a double fisherman's?? this is just a bad plan generally
If you are leading and your partner falls so that the rope is under tension, would it not be useful to have the potential to release coils without undoing the clove hitch. For example if your partner has taken a head injury and you have a convenient anchor point nearby. How about putting the loop of the overhand gate-side or not clipping it at all?
Hi Joe and thanks for the reply. The context of this video is for pitched climbing where your second is at a stance and belaying you. The method you describe would be moving together or in glacial terrain. It would then be better to use another method for tying off the coils.
From what I've gathered elsewhere single overhand should be absolutely enough for rappeling with tails at least 30 cm. Yours are longer, which is usually fine, but I've heard reports of ppl actualy setting up the belay on their tails as they were quite long.
Hello and thanks for your comment. As with any video we aim to show the safest, easiest to understand method to avoid people taking away the wrong information. A single overhand works fine with long tails when both ropes are the same diameter and not wet. In anything but the ideal circumstance the method we have demonstrated is the safest. Lots of different methods for doing this but we don't have time on a video to discuss all the options and drawbacks. We save this for our courses when people join us in the mountains!
Yeah, I've seen that in the "room temperature challenge" tik Tok videos. (I'm just kidding you comment section trolls!)
Handy video, currently torn with what hiking bag to get / little bits for day hiking. Choice is endless / trying to buy right without going nuts :D
they have found the second knot will roll.
Hello and thanks for your comment. A number of tests have been conducted that show two overhands back to back provide an increase from the standard single overhand. A well tied single overhand fails between 3-4kn. Two overhands back to back fail at around 4 - 4.5 kn. You are correct though that a second knot will roll but this is at a much higher force than the single knot. For more details on the pull tests results contact Petzl or DMM
Thanks Matt! Subscribed
Thanks Caroline
Sound Matt👍
Thanks Jeremy
Any particular reason you clip the HMS into the Figure8 and not the tie-in of your harness?
I much prefer using the rope loop as it reduces wear on the belay loop and also ads an extra dynamic element into the system. That being said, the system would still work the same going into the belay (Harness) loop. Lots of methods for tying off chest coils. whichever method you use make sure its tested and works for you! :-)
Great video and gear! I carry similar items on long trail runs.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it! :-)
