Hi and thanks for watching, Really quick and seems good quality stitching etc Cheers from the bivy

Hi Craig, thanks for watching,what’s the multi mat, seems good r value of over 5 yet only 20mm thick,interested to know details, MLD is exceptional being so light, but purchased for a specific reason, long trek Cheers Adrian

@northumberlandmountainhopper multi mat trekker/adventure 25 is a self inflating mat used by the military, I have the full length version, heavy ish, bombproof, about £35, atb craig

@@paganoutdoors3193thanks Craig I will check it out Might be handy for rough woodland camps, I am always worried about the mats lol

Well Craig I have just looked, wish I had know. About these before 183x51 at 890 gr and 5.4 r rating I just paid 120 for a sea to summit winter mat and that was half price It’s 1050 gr yes 1050 gr but at least it’s 7.4 r value it’s 200x 60 so big Ether light extreme I think without looking But this mat of yours is a bargain just found one new at £32 tempted lol

@northumberlandmountainhopper lol, it does get tempting, most of my outdoor gear is bought normally in the early hours, when I can't sleep, me and my mate are as bad as each other for it, normally txt each other "whoops" ,meaning we've bought something else, lol, too tempting looking online at but shops, same with fishing too, atb craig

Hi Craig thanks for watching, glad you liked it, Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching,glad you enjoyed it, I just take what I think I need for each trip, always with extra layers, just find keeping the load lighter makes for a more enjoyable trek, this rucksack is an Exos 58 in L. So has a captor 61 litres which is barely enough lol I have a nice Vango 70+10 which carries great but weighs 2kg where the 58 only weighs 1.4kg Army Burgens look great but are heavy but like the bivy’s will last. Rab 1100 is fantastic without doubt the loft is amazing Cheers from a bivy

@@DanielStranackyes training well at least 4 miles each day with 8 kg on dog walks then full load for a walk then back to 8kg its bound to help, i don’t mind packing for each trip as it has to come out of the pack to dry and get ready for next trip etc Cheers from the bivy

@northumberlandmountainhopper Hi Bivy, yeah that's a Boss Effort on the training mate, and 👍 any and all Training will definitely pay off on any of your Expedition's mate,, just don't overdo but 4mile 8kg really good,,, but 5mile 10kg is calling muka 😁,, yeah and understand your point mate but I'm a one Burgen man for all environments biv,, But 💯 percent Right on got to dry bag every bit of kit not Just to keep Dry ,, to Find Fast and to control weight distribution and Place,,But NOTHING WORSE than Wet Kit bivvy 🥶😰🥶 Seen a few lads go man down in that situation mate 🪖🥶,, good luck 👍 with the training and good luck 👍 with the Scotland Expedition bivvy looking forward to the Video,all the best mate Scouse 🪖,,ps I'm teaching me lad (10 year old) at half term in the garden before I take him out might take a video to show you my setup , if you would be interested Bivy ?? of 1 hennessy hammock jungle XL and 1 hennessy hammock Explorer,, and One 14ft Superfly Warbonnet Tarp ,,and quite a few other bits of kit Bivy😅 thanks for reply mate Scouse 🪖

Hi and thanks for watching, always fancied a lanshan but love the bivy more, but perhaps needs must, who knows, bin liners do seem popular Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, Glad you enjoyed it, Always a good commenter for tips, All well and good, but what about knee pain, bad enough with 15k lol Cheers from the bivy

@@northumberlandmountainhopper Guess it depends on the cause of the knee pain - arthritis or wear and tear = not much - muscle wear and tear = gradual strengthening with slowly increasing loads. The is always the American 'vitamin I' solution BUT that needs medical advice re other medication you may be taking.

Such a source of info Are you currently serving in the forces, re your recent trips.

​@@northumberlandmountainhopper We were formerly (read the bio on my YT channel) We are currently known as 'Private Operators' a horrible 'tag' coined by the Yankees, but also a euphemism... >>> ruclips.net/video/E3zBl1R6TWA/видео.html <<<

@@northumberlandmountainhopper We have all done our time and are now 'private contractors' 😉😉😉

Hi and thanks for watching, And the ideas We have the same midge in Northumberland I have various forms of protection from head nets to full midge jackets, April should be ok for midges, the idea of a tent was more, to better help with setting up in wind and if the wind direction changes in the night, and I suppose a bit more privacy. Cheers From the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, It is a good bit of kit for sure, not really expensive either, I can see it used a fair bit, even carrying as a total waterproof. Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you liked it Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, It seems each of the big birthdays like 50 then 60 it all starts to slip, Maybe with good work we can slow it slow ! Cheers Adrian

@northumberlandmountainhopper well it has to be better than just sitting around.

Also i have a couple of small tents i use mostly the Helm 2 packs very small and to be honest has been pretty good with regards condensation

@@peter236uk1I may take a tent yet !!

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you enjoyed it Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, it certainly was nice weather, It will be great as a waterproof in the summer cover the pack as well and lighter than my pak lites Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, Glad you enjoyed it Thanks for the wishes Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching I think I know where it is, My friend found it when he explored the spot as well, Even though the farm is there it’s still very remote Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you enjoyed it I looked at it and thought too small but no it’s just right, it really is a good bit of kit I will probably use it more of a summer cape as lighter than waterproof gear And the odd sheltered camp Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you enjoyed it Your trip sounded great, you should film it Albino deer great to see, easy to poach as well which is a shame We need none slip kit !!! Bits of silicone helps but does not last and makes stuff messy I feel Cheers from the bivy

@ I work at B&Q, there is a product called “rug slip” I’ve been thinking of cutting a piece of this to go under my sleeping bag, it comes in much larger sizes than I’d need so a little of it hopefully won’t weigh that much!….. I will let you know if I do try it out 👍

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you liked it Got a couple of yours to catch up Weight !!! What can we do Fitness it’s all down hill lol Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, So remote it’s great Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, Yes it’s a great spot, but imagine if that fire pit was on the grass in front of the waterfall !! They are easier routes to it from the valley, I dare say you know, Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, wow that’s a great tip, I love the comments, my walking pole did have plenty of spare, we will try next time it’s out for a camp. Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, Glad you enjoy them, Thanks for the wishes Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you enjoyed it Good idea, my son has weights and bench etc in the garage, do some good weather training while I am in there ! It’s freezing lol Cheers Adrian

@@macinthewild8116 hi shaun, that’s the plan, don’t think you can do better than just do it Cheers Adrian

@@PhilWaud hi Phil thanks for watching, it was massive few hundred metres of it, losing spots to bivy very quickly up here Cheers from the bivy

Hi Phil, to be honest it’s going to be handy as a cape as lighter than the pac lites and it keeps the pack dry Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you liked it, I love to be out there out of the way, Cheers from a bivy

Hi Jimmy thanks for watching, glad you liked it, good tip as well, but what about the bottom of the bivy being wet, won’t it transfer to the sleeping bag, if the membrane did not do its job, I would trust the army bag doing that, I will try next camp Cheers from a bivy

@northumberlandmountainhopper it's what we did in the army mate also we didn't use air mats just the foam mats so a quick setup 👍👍

@@LundysWildcampBushcraft Jimmy can you imagine now not using an air mat !!!

Hi and thanks for watching,glad you enjoy the videos, Yes montane, tighter fit than the Rab so better under waterproofs or in bivy, prefer the Rab fit but can get these from the factory shop far cheaper and it’s good kit. Colour a winner as well Pity Berghaus did not do pak lite in olive, I find it better to try as best as possible to blend in, less chance of farmers picking you up when on the rounds Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, always fancied a lanshan to be honest, this was supplied to me to test so there are no choices Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, this one was just a overhand knot twice as the guy line had the tensioner on it Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it, Yes I remember and I remember checking the stuff sack out, probably on my list but trying stuffing at the minute Cheers Adrian

@@northumberlandmountainhopper The stuff sack comes with the bag, but the compression sack is an optional extra. Good luck.

If it's an ex-army poncho, you press stud two together for that.

Hi and thanks for watching, 300 grams with the pegs ! Magic I think I will be using it a fair bit, the cape is great Cheers Adrian

​@ashleyhoward8926 it's a French military, rather than British, great for keeping dry, but too small for camping under.

Hi and thanks for watching, glad you liked it, I think I will try it that way on the next camp, just lots of experimenting at the minute, Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you liked it Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, I had thought about that, but the tent configuration can’t match the Trailstar in the wind, I am thinking about hanging my towel down from the internal washing line I have set up Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you liked it Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, glad you like the videos, Yes I have looked at them might look again, it needs to be big enough, I stick to the bivy as the Northumberland wind is so fierce I always wonder if the tarp holds out Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, Glad you enjoy the videos, Age is hard it just keeps taking a bit more each year !!! Like you say the mind !!! Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, no that was my walking pole, watch out for a link when I get one it’s a good web site Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Glad You enjoyed it, yes I held the wahey back for some reason, as long as she is up and about for April for my trip alls good plenty of recovery time Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it, I caught the road well again so straight through, What gets me is the C172 is shut Where do they get these odd number where’s the A and B roads gone ? Cheers Adrian Cheers Adrian

Hi Rod, I think the cape appeals the most for me keeps the pack dry and nice and airy Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Honestly it’s a great bit of kit I will be using it on calm days or woodland days, but great as a cape to keep the pack dry in the showers Cheers Adrian

Hi, makes sense, easy with the MLD, Alpkit and perhaps the army, but the hooped army is massive Trouble is everything is space Hungary Still think a small stuff sack works good for me but I am going to persevere with stuffing it. Cheers Adrian

@@theslowwalkhome7314 ?

Hi and thanks for watching, need a zip in the army one which will soon. Be in hand, I probably will make my final decision the week before, see the forecast,which will be wrong but it helps, Cheers from the bivy
