Good review. I'm thinking hard on one of these but was unsure of it's size when packed down. Looks like it packs down small enough and looks solid too! Many thanks 👍

Enjoyed watching, How much the British Army Inflatable Mat wights? Didn't find it on ebay

Nice review,Love these older system. I’ve been using the old pattern 58 in a Bivvy bag for years,but have just upgraded to the Carinthia copy British Army Modular system. Trying it out on Dartmoor,this weekend. See how I get on with it. Regards

Flares ? !!

Great video, I did the fan dance route last year with my son and best mate ( who did it as part of a job interview back in the day ) every step was torture. Your video gave me the shivers 😁

Looks pretty much the same as the cheaper MTP 45 litre Issue bergen (if you don't mind camo and Mollie straps)

Nice pack, but way to many straps and bugles that catch branches and what not.

Loose straps flapping in the wind. Definitely not cool!

Hi. Would you advise a size smaller than ones normal? Atb.

Thanks for Sharing, Thumbs up

Hi RJ. Glad you’re still out there! I thought you’d got lost on a hill somewhere!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

Thank you. Just bought a Scirocco with no guidance with it at all. This helped a lot. Love Chili-will get some Waytfarer to try-on your recommendation!

Good informative gen, well presented. I used to carry a sit mat for backpacking/camping, but after seeing one about 7 or 8 years ago I got a fold up German Army sleep mat that lives permanently inside my backpack. Too thin for a comfortable sleep alone, I use it under a lightweight air mattress to protect it from any sharp objects I've missed on the ground (my old bones need more than a roll mat and Thermarest). On its own it provides insulation from the ground, if benighted or injured, and the other item I always carry is a military poncho as an extra waterproof for heavy rain downpours and for an emergency shelter/get out of the hot sun on open ground to avoid heat exhaustion. In colder weather or if there's cold nights forecast, I add a poncho liner or light sleeping bag/lightweight bivvy bag for day walks just in case there's a problem and I have to hunker down. I used to use two 58 pattern ponchos for backpacking, they wore out after 40 years, I replaced them with two USGI woodland camo, not as tough,as the 58s but still top quality... about 200g heavier than the basha. The German mat weighs little and folded up, it's an ace sit or kneeling mat, if I'm walking with friends I can open it up so we can all keep dry bums. Highly recommended.

By "squaddies" I take it you mean Soldiers?

Quality content mukka love it keep up the hard work inspiring people great views aswell I’ve liked & subscribed also stay safe much appreciated Rucksack Adventures 🇬🇧

It's the british army basha Not a bivvy and there not bivvy poles there called basha poles.i hope you got a gortex bivvy bag ie sleeping cover mate

Good review. The issues with the hip belt and shoulder straps would be a deal breaker for me. I'll stick with my Centurio 30 pack which has the same ability to add side pouches and great straps and cyclops 2 back system.

Great video. One suggestion: if you could show on the map the circuit / route taken?

Great video. You can in fact store the buffalo system packed / compressed, it won't make any difference. It's mostly down bags that need to have the chance to loft and not be stored in stuff sack or compression sack.

its not 6 mm ...

Really enjoying your vids, what `Im seeing lot in these bushcraft kit films is people carry too big a first aid kit then it becomes a nuisance them gets left behind you have the exact right balance if I may make a few of suggestions please ? carry a strong clear polythene bag about 7 inches wide that you can get your hand in up the the elbow a very common accident is scolding / burns from cooking whilst tired ( this is why I hate hooped bivis you need a tent / Tarp you can sit up in when cooking - seen to many guys fall asleep in to their stoves ) if you burn your hand it will be agony you will need to keep it in water at least an hour ,this is not an over reaction its the one item that can not be found any where in your kit when you really need one , a large trauma First field dressing is an absolute MUST but not in your first aid kit in your trouser leg pocket if you ever need to use it for real in a major bleed you must access it in 8 seconds people don`t tend to die bleeding to death direct in a major injury they see the massive bleed they then pass out with the shock of all the blood then bleed to death whilst unconscious , oh an carry a thermometer great way of judging if a member of your group is ill, lip balm is another must but use it daily as a preventative not a cure if you lips get it bad as in arctic or desert conditions you will not be able to eat - even drink and thats really not good. - and learn how to take a pulse one of the best medic skills u can learn study all the different rhythms as this really can help you with an injured person best wishes ,Michael.

Great filming bud. 👍👍

Nice review bud. Any idea if you can still buy those buffalo systems and if so where from? I’m UK based, cheers. Simon 👍

Love the bag 💪🏽

Enjoyed watching.. i also prefer a centre zip.. so much easier to use getting in and out of..

Hi mate I've never seen anything like this before! Is that website still going? You mentioned you've had that for 20 years! I definatley don't need this system I have the FECSA modular system however I want one!

I was actually about to get the VJ's, but after seeing your video, I think I'll go with the 200s. How does the aftercare hold up? Like, when you wash them after a muddy race? Thanks

Had a set of these sold it because it's heavy and big packed down and also not very warm at all. I now use a synthetic quilt much warmer and a lot lighter. These are also very snug once inside and come in different sizes as they need to be tight to get any warmth from them 80s tech

Badass band! You guys need more exposure. Will now follow your band for sure.

Morning buddy 😁. This is on my wish list lol. Thanks for sharing mate an ya time buddy. ATVB Andy 🇬🇧 👍 ☕

Can you give any more information on the inflatable mattress? Is it military issue I can't find fine one anywhere would appreciate any info thanks

Always bring a beer, it’s gear to see a fellow Brit making great videos!

Hi rob love your easy to follow videos ( subbed) I have the same sabre 45 plus side pouches which I love. Inc banshee 200 , rab 900 can't get it lower than about 38 lbs for 2 days food (rat packs) ? What was the weight of your bag ? Although I am an ageing 64 yr old lol keep up the good work ATB

That knife is the Hunter model. I prefer the Forester, for the can opener that replaces that serrated specialized blade (gutting blade for hunters), I have no use for it.

do you think its as good as karrimor used to be, the original company ?

wow, my first double buffalo fibre pile sleep system was from survival aids in maybe 1984 ?

I sacs loops????

Great video mate & great channel. I watched your wild camping kit list video before this, enjoyed that also. Subbed, I hope you're going to start making videos again soon? You have a talent, it would be a shame to see it go to waste. Thanks for sharing. Atb Shaun

Hi ! Do you think this bag with the two side pouches is comfy enough for a trip a several weeks and something like 20 miles of walk per day ? I'll be filling in water every day 3L and food each 3 days. Thanks a lot

great vids mate subbed ya ATB Kaizer

Get some web dominators, best addition besides the pouches for this superb pack!

Nice review. I'm looking at one of these. How much weight can it comfortably carry? Now that you've had it awhile, how do you feel about the padding?

Good video enjoyed watching, subbed you. Thanks Steve.

Really enjoying your channel

The buffalo look the business. We have similar kit. I keep my army self inflatable with my army kip mat, and roll them up as one unit, and this sits under the neck of my bergen. It saves room in bugen, would you tave the buffalo over other Army pat bags?...Bex

Hi Rob, i love your channel. I am Wild camping novice but have been collecting gear for their past year with he aim to start exploring and enjoying technology free weekends in the mountains starting this Spring. I am local to the beacons being from Cardiff so i was wondering if you would share a route or two that can get me started. RegardsHolley_uk2@yahoo.co.uk

Just landed on your channel , great vid and gave you a sub 👍🏻

Great Rob......stumbled across your "real" channel !!....and someone that has taken the time or knows how to pronounce pen y fan......!!!!..no I'm not Welsh!!!! Keep up the good work Mo Wilts

Water resistant?

Why don't you do another video with the sleeping bag packed up so the viewers can get a better idea of how bulky it is to tote around?
