I'd be over the moon if you could please vote for me in The TGO Reader's Awards. Here's the link www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/TGvote22/ I owe you one 🍺🍺. Thank you. Paul & Jo
A lot of youtubers are going ultralight these days. Its nice to see a man who clearly enjoys the luxuries in life and brings a tablecloth. You can't teach class like that!
Ultralight is pointless for hiking a few mile into a fell/peak to camp overnight thats basically car camping with a few miles walk you may aswell enjoy all the comforts. Makes sense when you're living on a trail for 4-6 months and trying to get as many miles in as you can a day.
Great to see you guys doing a joint review, more of those please. And have of course submitted a vote for you Paul, wishing you best of luck. Either way you continue to inspire others and provide superb content (as does Andy).
Nice review if the pack. The Atom Packs has been on my radar for a while. Started to use a bum bag a couple of years ago when hiking since my pack do not have any pockets on the waist strap. The Roo waistpack looks great with a lot of space for snacks and camera gear.
Thank you for so georges fresh vews and warm atmosphere. I use waist pack from deuter, but it become too little for me now. So I have to look some more capacious. Roo waistpack looks suitable. All the best and good luck!
I'll be looking into the Atom pack now as I've used you're recommendations when I was trying to decide what tent I wanted to buy when it was time to get a "proper" tent. I found your video from a few years ago where you spoke about which tent you would have if you could only have 1. I couldn't justify the £700 for the solo but the Helm 1 was perfect and it's been an incredible investment. Since then I've held your opinion very high with regards to gear as I find you are an incredibly honest bloke with the fans best interest at heart. Thanks for all your hard work. Roo Waist pack
Roo waist pack. Thanks for that insite and review I'll be saving for a new pack as my osprey after 2 years is suffering holding up but I love the bottle feature I've always thought that would be an amazing option. Now seeing these I know what I'm upgrading to.
A nice little video Paul, you picked some nice weather mind. But that never puts you off from what I can make out, a true outdoor professional. You and Andy have made some good videos for the same walk and its always good to watch both. The Atom packs look like a good choice. So you and Andy say I need to say Atom packs, Roo waist pack.
Roo waist pack looks like a good addition to a regular back pack. Easier to get hold of snacks, hat, gloves, phone sunglasses etc on the move without stopping and taking your pack off. Nice video!
Roo Waistpack looks brilliant. I've been using a Vango something or other for a couple of years now, and could definitely do with an upgrade! Thank you for making these great videos :) Roo waistpack
Roo waistpack. Great video mate, you’re leading the way with the gear. Love my osprey but these atom packs look decent, also the tent. Loved my helm 2, great tent. Voted 👍🏻
I’m gonna get into hiking. I love camping. The solitude in a cosy tent just feels great. Getting to know yourself. I’m excited about the prospect and I want gear that’ll last and be comfortable and useful. I love this review and other reviews of best camping and hiking gear. even if it’s a sponsored item. You talk with experience and knowledge. I appreciate this. Thanks.
Thank you for another great video and the review of this great pack. I'd love a Roo waistpack, which, added to my Atom, would be enough to room the gear to stay overnight.
Feeling pretty good when I picked up the fold out table before seeing you with the same. “Almost” now I feel like I’m getting up to speed w my gear. Take care. Luv your videos n your ways of presentation.
well deserved nomination, Paul! your channel and videos are a breath of fresh air (pun intended!), you show that "normal" folk can get out there and have genuine adventures whilst also being honest in that things don't always go to a perfect plan up in the hills! you get my vote, sir.
Roo waist pack would be a great addition to my ever growing kit list. Thanks for giving me the chance to get my hands on one. Loving the great content you keep putting out on RUclips and good luck for the TGO award you've had my vote.
Roo Waistpack. Big congratulations on getting nominated for TGO. Those packs look fine, can't justify getting one as there's plenty of life in my 20year old Podsac.
Roo waist pack, Great video. You have given me some great ideas over the past few years on wild camping. I alway look forward to your next video. I don’t think I will try the plastic cooking table. Good luck in the competition.
Roo waistpack... I really enjoy watching your videos from over here in the states. The weather in many of your videos is quite extreme compared to my camping trips, which makes them all the more interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Paul it would be a great pleasure for voting for you it's simple you make camping, backpacking a pleasure to watch on your RUclips channel you wouldn't have the number of subscribers if it wasn't for your enthusiasm well done hopefully keep up the good work 😊 👍 😀
Good to see you back out in the Helm Compact! Been looking at the atom packs for a while now and really tempted buy one in the future…. Hopefully can get my hands on a Roo Waistpack. ATB
You was the 1st wild camper I watched , learnt how to put up 3x3 ddtarp . In the beginning. Loved , helped me with my adventures over the years thank you 😊 have my vote .
Another enjoyable video Paul, that looked like a great spot for a camp. That weather looked like typical Peak District conditions but good to see it didn't put either of you off getting out. The Atom pack looked like a great piece of kit. Very roomy and the roo waist pack looks very handy. So much easier to get things out of when out walking then having to constantly take your rucksack off. PS: just voted for you in the TGO awards. Good luck.
Really enjoyed your video. I look forward to doing some hiking as soon as I'm able. I'm still on the mend from surgeries. I will try to get a vote in for you!
The Roo looks great! Thanks for the vids, they've given me some great inspiration and advice as an absolute novice. Just come back from two nights in the Cairngorms with experienced mates and competed Davils Point, Cairn Toul, Angels Point and Braeriach! Looking for kit for the next adventure. Planning on doing Cullin Ridge and the inaccessible pinnacle next year 😬
Many thanks for the hard work put into these videos it’s inspirational for a newbie like me Roo waist pack looks a useful piece of kit, look forward to seeing more vids
Love it when you cook a proper meal makes it look like a holiday and something special. Good honest review again on the backpack. Roo waist pack looks like a handy bit of kit especially for snacks!
Always enjoy your videos Paul though I see them as gear reviews in the main, albeit very good ones, that have little to do with real hiking. Glad to see you though in a good frame of mind in your recent RUclipss..... Looking forward to the next one....Cheers.
Roo Waistpack - I saw your video with the Atom Pack a couple of months ago and managed to save up for it. Just tested it out on a 2 day, 50 mile hike and it was awesome, quite pricey but as you say, it's so comfy and versatile, it can replace a couple of packs so worth it I reckon. Congratulations on the TGO nomination, I'll vote now
Well done on the nomination. I think you do more than just boil water Paul! From your videos I can see in detail how you use things eg the tent, so there is lots of visual information available to viewers. This helps to inform us about bits of kit, before we commit to buying. Good luck with the TGO nomination and thanks for sharing.
Congratulations Paul on your nomination 👍 Love watching videos of you two, you seem good friends & have a great chemistry together. Loving the Roo waistpack too, on my wish list.
Thanks for all your great vids Paul, and thanks for the review on the Atom packs, I reckon that I need one of them! So it would be great to start with a Roo waistpack.
Roo waistpack. Great video, Paul. Good to see you and Andrew out in the great outdoors again. Hoping myself to get out soon in my reliable Wild Country Hem Compact 1.
Great video as always. I’m looking at getting the atom pack backpack and was looking at the specs etc. this video has really helped. The Roo waist pack.
Hi Paul, I used the Helm Compact 1 on Monday night at Grisedale Tarn , it tossed it down and blew a Hooley most of the night and the tent was solid as rock and dry. Thanks for recommending it. Roo waist bag looks good.
Roo waist pack!! Great video as always Paul, 30 minutes of peace & calm. The helm looks a good tent but can't wait for a video with the Durston I have one on order.
I love stoves but take my hat off to ya you love them more . That's without starting on the tents .You have my vote. Keep the videos coming Roo waist pack!
Well deserved on the nomination 👍 I’ve been tempted by an Atom for a few months, may have to pull the trigger after Christmas. Roo waist pack looks useful too 👍
Once again thanks for an amazing video. You definitely get my vote mate. I was hoping you'd do a review of the bag for a while now. Love the Roo Waist pack also 👍🏻
Nice spot for this camp i'm going to look for somewhere similar off the back of this vid! Been meaning to look for an Atom Pack review and glad to see you both enjoy them, wouldnt mind getting a Roo Waistpack myself!
Thanks for this. Not the biggest fan of tents I can't sit up in but I do like the look of the helm. It's so strange there's 15cm difference (think that's the difference) going from the 2 man to the 1 man, that extra height would move it way up in my eyes.
The Roo Waist Pack Hi Paul, since I messaged you about going hiking with my dad I’ve managed to convince a few friends to come hiking in the yorkshire dales and they are now hooked! Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. I look forward to looking a bit of a pilock with a fanny pack on but atleast it seems to be mainly foggy whenever I go camping 😂
Great long term review! Was looking at the 35L but put off by no waistband compared to something like the Osprey exos! Would like to get my hands on 1 of them Roo Waistpacks though!
RooWaistPack: Great pack, Paul, mrs has one and I’m getting Tom to make one in the new year. Big on the shoulders, he’s willing to make a wider version for me. Voted as well, certainly deserved! Keep being you, and keep well.
Roo waist backpack. Ciao Paul! Good Luck to you on your TGO award! I really appreciate your approach to getting outside and cooking! I hope you have a Thanksgiving dinner video for next week🙂
Great campsite with iconic views out towards the Hope Valley. Paul you get my vote every time. Love a chance of owning a Roo Waistpack and if I had the money the Backpack too.
Another fantastic video! I have been trying to decide between the Atom+ and The Mo and this video has swung it for the Mo. I think a Roo waistpack is a must as well! Just voted for you in the TGO as well - keep up the great work!
Roo Waist Pack , cracking video Paul, great review on the Pack, cracking location, hope I come across this spot next year , as a newbie and still to do my 1st wild camp , this looks like an easy 1 to do
Roo waist pack. Another great video from you that I really enjoyed. Love the look of the atom packs but I don't think father Christmas will be bringing me one this year.
Roo Waist Packs look great! Another great vid Paul! That Toque looks super warm! I'll have to write to Santa 🎅 and see if I've been good enough to get one for Xmas...🎄🎄🎄
Roo waistpack, be great to win one! Thanks for another informative video Paul, the Peak District looks amazing. You and Andy have inspired me to start a bit of wild camping in the future, just to get out in the elements if nothing else! cheers.
Roo Waistpack, I've a third hand army backpack with a few busted zips and the waterproofing went a long while ago, a new backpack would be very handy :) Love the videos, gave you a vote!
Finally pulled my finger out and subscribed - and voted! - back camping after a few decades gap with a new Force Ten classic (!) and Karrimor SF Sabre. There's me fixed for UL.
The Roo waist pack looks great. I've been looking at Atom packs for a few months and The Mo will definitely be my next purchase. Thanks for the great review Paul
I was thinking about that Roo Waist Pack for my multi day Scottish trail walks. Seems waterproof too which is a must in here plus could fit a decent size camera for pictures + snacks. Good luck with the competition.
Roo waist pack! Eyup Paul, great video and review, sold!!!! Well at least when my current one gives up. Fancying the new 60l Mo. Typical Peak District weather!!!!!
Great video Paul. Been looking at moving from my Osprey Atmos to a Atom pack but was wary to commit due to the cost but after hearing yours and Andy review will make the switch. Yours are honest reviews after using them for a good period of time.
Roo waist pack - Your videos have provided me with a lot of inspiration for places to walk (and hopefully camp) when I relocate up to the Peaks early next year!
Atompacks look great for the types of hiking, trekking, and camping I see on your channels. I see that with customizations... 60L could be a good option as well. All materials options are spot on. "Roo waistpack" appears to be a nice accessory... tho' I'd like to have seen a bit more demo of you guys wearing it, what you guys put in it, ease of getting stuff in and out, etc.
Roo Waist Pack. 👍👍👍 .. a nice share Paul .. thanks. Pricey Pack perhaps .. but in this instance, one appears to be getting what one pays for. Similar to flying Economy, Business or First Class. One still gets there, but .. differently 😊. Heat transfer downwards .. have experienced the same 😯 (and learned from it 😏). Using a pot stand / windscreen that results in a tight enclosure .. 'excess' heat has nowhere to go. Good for whatever is being cooked up topside, but often not so on the 'downside' (pun intended 😊). To protect surfaces, I always use a heat / flame resistant carbon cloth as a base. In cases of heat-sensitive surfaces, I add a Silicone Kitchen Mat, specifically cut to size for that particular application. In some cases, a metal dish (sometimes containing water) has been brought into play. The 'Roo Pack'. Back in the late 70's / 80's, we knew them as 'Butt / Fanny' Packs .. popular at one stage but then fell out of favour, especially when small Urban Packs came to the fore (the fanny pack being seen by some as being a 'sissy' man's handbag 😁). I got mine 'back then' .. a 'Backpacker' brand 'Spectator Pouch' in a L size. After 40-odd years, still in use. The inside water protection lining has largely flaked off so it serves mainly now to carry my 'scoff' for the outing .. the waist strap coming in particularly handy in hanging said pouch off the ground. Good luck Paul, with the nomination. You stand against some doughty opposition .. some of whom, I subscribe to. As with any Democratic Vote, the most 'popular' nominee will win and not necessarily the most 'worthy' .. some consolation for the to be also-rans 😏. Please continue enjoying yourself and sharing it with us .. and yes, treating the Wife after your suffering is a just reward 😊. Take care .. Tommy
Congratulations on the TGO nomination - and good luck. Loved the video - even if the views were misty. Thanks for sharing - Cheers Gotta love the Roo Waist Pack 😁
Great reviews guys as always. The Roo waist pack would be great for that extra bit of room for items like camera equipment or drone equipment, that you need to hand without the faff of taking your pack off
Great camp, nice food, true quarry’s are good spots, pack nice, using an Exos 58 which is actually 61 litres in large and not bad at 1300 grams, certainly will check this pack out Cheers Roo Waistpack
Congratulations on the TGO nomination Paul, very well deserved! Looks like a great pack, not one for us occasional wild campers but definitely a great bit of kit for you serious folk! Roo waist pack, what the hell! 🤣
You got a lovely mention on OutdoorGearReview! He’s a good guy too. I’m glad you know each other and it’s reassuring that content creators support each other in this community. As it should be. It bucks every trend on social media and continues to be a welcome bastion of sanity and kind people.

Already done, using every email address I have 🤣
Already done. Fingers crossed for you!
Easy choice of vote Paul👍🏻
Done and good luck
Done last week, love the videos full of great content and i have learned loads
A lot of youtubers are going ultralight these days. Its nice to see a man who clearly enjoys the luxuries in life and brings a tablecloth. You can't teach class like that!
Yes, I’ve damaged my table surface using exactly the same setup!
Ultralight is pointless for hiking a few mile into a fell/peak to camp overnight thats basically car camping with a few miles walk you may aswell enjoy all the comforts. Makes sense when you're living on a trail for 4-6 months and trying to get as many miles in as you can a day.
I'd love the waistpack. I've voted for you too Paul. Keep being awesome
Great to see you guys doing a joint review, more of those please. And have of course submitted a vote for you Paul, wishing you best of luck. Either way you continue to inspire others and provide superb content (as does Andy).

Nice to see you using the spill proof stove
I bought one on your recommendation, great little stove
Best regards Shaun
Roo waistpack looks tidy for those extra small bits of kit. Nice vid as always guys
Fantastic vid. I'm really feeling like i need a Helm tent! They really do look great. Great location too! Roo Waistpack 🤞
Roo waist pack - Your videos have provided me with a lot of inspiration for places to walk (and hopefully camp) when I relocate up to the Peaks early next year!
Atompacks look great for the types of hiking, trekking, and camping I see on your channels. I see that with customizations... 60L could be a good option as well. All materials options are spot on. "Roo waistpack" appears to be a nice accessory... tho' I'd like to have seen a bit more demo of you guys wearing it, what you guys put in it, ease of getting stuff in and out, etc.

👍👍👍 .. a nice share Paul .. thanks.
Pricey Pack perhaps .. but in this instance, one appears to be getting what one pays for. Similar to flying Economy, Business or First Class. One still gets there, but .. differently 😊.
Heat transfer downwards .. have experienced the same 😯 (and learned from it 😏). Using a pot stand / windscreen that results in a tight enclosure .. 'excess' heat has nowhere to go. Good for whatever is being cooked up topside, but often not so on the 'downside' (pun intended 😊). To protect surfaces, I always use a heat / flame resistant carbon cloth as a base. In cases of heat-sensitive surfaces, I add a Silicone Kitchen Mat, specifically cut to size for that particular application. In some cases, a metal dish (sometimes containing water) has been brought into play.
The 'Roo Pack'. Back in the late 70's / 80's, we knew them as 'Butt / Fanny' Packs .. popular at one stage but then fell out of favour, especially when small Urban Packs came to the fore (the fanny pack being seen by some as being a 'sissy' man's handbag 😁).
I got mine 'back then' .. a 'Backpacker' brand 'Spectator Pouch' in a L size. After 40-odd years, still in use. The inside water protection lining has largely flaked off so it serves mainly now to carry my 'scoff' for the outing .. the waist strap coming in particularly handy in hanging said pouch off the ground.
Good luck Paul, with the nomination. You stand against some doughty opposition .. some of whom, I subscribe to. As with any Democratic Vote, the most 'popular' nominee will win and not necessarily the most 'worthy' .. some consolation for the to be also-rans 😏.
Please continue enjoying yourself and sharing it with us .. and yes, treating the Wife after your suffering is a just reward 😊.
Take care .. Tommy
Congratulations on the TGO nomination - and good luck.
Loved the video - even if the views were misty. Thanks for sharing - Cheers
Gotta love the Roo Waist Pack 😁
Roo Waist Pack Great video as always and thanks for the review of the Atom pack. I've voted for you in the TGO awards and best of luck
Great reviews guys as always. The Roo waist pack would be great for that extra bit of room for items like camera equipment or drone equipment, that you need to hand without the faff of taking your pack off
Voted, and great to read about the other categories too. Thanks for publicising. The Roo waistpacks look v useful.
Great camp, nice food, true quarry’s are good spots, pack nice, using an Exos 58 which is actually 61 litres in large and not bad at 1300 grams, certainly will check this pack out
Cheers
