Poor understanding of weight distribution! As this video is old won’t bother explaining the proper way to pack, just search YT!

Does anyone have any recommendations as my DofE is in may

Having the roll mat on the bottom of the bag can lead to issues with stiles. Having it at the top or vertically down the front avoids it.

This is so good thanks

I use either a 80l British army rucksack or a 120 litre Bergen with side pouches I also use a combat waistcoat and webbing for quick access items My kit looks more like military kit than camping kit

Fantastic

thanks

Hi. Good all round presentation there. It's very helpful to see how people select their kit and how they pack it. I've been working on my load out for a very long time and I reckon I'm sorted. Thanks to you all for your videos. Happy pacing !

Uh can I just use a bin bag instead of like the dry bag or rubble bag bc I’m not spending more money and it’s unlikely it’s gonna rip or have major holes

wow very good video

Hi does it matter that I use bin bags as dry bags as I do not have access to any dry bags

it's very useful

I leave tomorrow and are incredibly stressed.

How many of them inside bags would I need and would it be ok if I got like 6 of the orange ones not the clip ones

Mine's in June and I am so excited!

Fantastic, well done to all involved. YNWA.

I would have loved to have been able to do the DofE awards scheme but never had the chance. I left school 25 years ago and they only really started doing it at my old school in the last 10 years. Instead, I have spent the past 6 or 7 years researching and optimizing everything for a solo hike from John O'Groats to Lands End, climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell, and Snowdon on route. It is very good that you mention that people should only take what is essential, though after reading about the experience of some DofE participants and leaders, I would mention that hair-dryers, hair straighteners, and hand-held computer games are not essential. One thing I would change is that you suggested 60 to 80-litre rucksacks at the top of the video. I have found in my own experience that if you have free space in a rucksack, you will invariably try and fill it with something, thus making the pack heavier. Also, larger capacity rucksacks will typically be heavier than lower capacity rucksacks. So my suggestion would be that a person should only take items that are "Essential" to the expedition and then get a rucksack just big enough to carry all of those essential items but not so big as to allow extra space. The last thing is that people should be taught how to have a rucksack properly fitted. Many times I have seen people carrying rucksacks with very loose shoulder straps causing the rucksack weight to be halfway down their back. A rucksack properly fitted can make everything being carried feel like half of the true weight, while a badly fitted rucksack will make everything feel double its weight. Other than that, a very useful and informative video :)

All clothing etc inside own dry bags inside main dry bag. You will thank me later

There’s no food video

This is a decent video, nice. There’s another duke of Edinburgh packing video (might even be the official one) that is full of some really bad advice.

What type of brand is your rucksack?

Would i look silly using my cadet bag ?

What do you do when your bag doesn’t have straps on for your roll mat
