Thanks ☺️ I just turned up to each one without any issues. Many will save some spaces for people doing the TMB even if they’re turning others away because they’re full. When I went back in August, the campsite in Chamonix itself was completely full a couple of times though, but there are many more further down the valley around Les Bossons, for example.

@@miramoneric6988 hi, it’s a product called Sugru 🙂 You just mould it how you want it and it sets with exposure to the air.

@@ja.ssch. many tks very useful

@@ja.ssch. tks so much I ll try asap 🙏🙏

@@RohanHammett thanks for the comment ☺️ So glad you found the video helpful. Wishing you the best adventure next summer 🤙🏻

@@michaelpenney3775 Hi, it’s called Sugru and it’s like a self-setting putty type thing so you just mold it how you want and then it sets with exposure to the air. Works really well to make the handle manageable when it would otherwise be far too hot 🙂

​@@ja.ssch.cheers pal just seen it on Amazon and alpkit sites

@@janinelouw1730 thanks 🙂 So we wild camped in the couple of kilometres after Rifugio Bonatti, in the woodland a couple of kilometres before Champex-Lac, at Lacs des Cheserys (after the first section of ladders but before Lac Blanc) and at Lac du Brévent just a few hundred metres off the trail. We had free camping at Refuge de Miage on night one, Refuge de la Balme on night two and by the toilets in Ville des Glaciers on night 3, then paid campsites at Hobo Camping (bus from Courmayeur), La Fouly and La Peuty.

Thank you and good evening to you 😊all. Xx

@@רוןהראל-ס6ע Thanks 😌 So we were actually under 2500m…🤫 But there were lots of spots if you continue after Bonatti and so many people were wild camping around there. Just be sure to set up late and pack away early 🙂 The first great spot is by an abandoned farmhouse which is visible from Bonatti, and if you continue for a km or two after that, there is some flat ground right by the path where we saw about 10 people camping - unfortunately we stopped before seeing this and ended up sliding down the tent all night! 🤣 If you really want to stick to the rules, Pas entre deux sauts is a great spot which is above 2500m and we were really tempted to camp there, but it was still early and we were hoping to get some dinner at Bonatti so we kept going. I’ve just finished editing another TMB video where I share my tips and narrate all this footage, so keep an eye out for that one 🙂

Appreciate you! 🙏🏼

@@pgpagaia I found having the Huel pots meant if I didn’t have access to water until the next day, I didn’t have to waste any of my drinking water on cleaning so could carry less water and save water weight 🙂 I also used the titanium cup as a drinking cup for teas and coffees for my wife and I so it kept it clean for that 😌

@@RicardoGastelú thanks 😌 I flew to Geneva on the 15th July, got to Chamonix on the 16th, and started the TMB on the 17th. Just been back in the Chamonix valley for a week to do some other hikes and the conditions are very similar, though the weather is a lot more changeable now with colder evenings and more rainfall.

@@M0esmac Courmayeur is a tricky place for camping as all the campsites are outside of the town. We camped at a place called ‘Hobo Camping’ which is super popular with TMB hikers and a really nice campsite - especially to pass a storm as it has a cosy hut with board games etc. and Italian coffee of course 😌 You have to take a bus, taxi or shuttle to get there, or to the other campsite nearby. If you continue a bit further, there is a campsite called Camping Grandes Jorasses - this one is right by the contour variant route so it’s a lot of zig zagging to get back up onto the main whaleback ridge, but that was one of my favourite parts of the TMB and is very quiet since so many people opt for the easier, lower, more direct but less scenic variant to Rifugio Bonatti 😊

@@TheBananaine thanks ☺️ I would recommend the Aires de Bivouac (free camping spots) at Refuge de Miage and Refuge de la Balme, and you can definitely wild camp through the Italian and Swiss parts as long as you set up late out of sight of roads etc and pack away early :) You can get screw on gas in Decathlon in Chamonix too which was a worry of mine as I couldn’t bring gas on the plane. And there are good camping shops in Courmayeur and at La Fouly where you can get high energy snacks and dehydrated meals, so no need to carry a lot of food, just a few days’ worth if you don’t want to spend any money at refuges in between. Best of luck! It’s an amazing experience 🤩

Yes of course! :) Thank you for commenting
