    Pity Kev said to his missus he was coming home, as I would have came and met you. Nevertheless good video mate, nicely filmed. The rough prototype stove still looks good. 🔥

    Hi Stripey 👋. Beautiful places you go, so nice for us to see too. I didn’t know you have matching socks with your hat, so you are actually Stripey hat and sock guy! It was funny when you said you had your trusty pasta, but this time smaller pasta to fit on your spoon, I love the functionality here, that’s very Stripey! I’m looking forward to seeing the final cone design, no rush, as you say it has to be right. But will we be able to make the cone with the average tool kit? Thanks for sharing as always. Serk

    • @StripeyHatGuy
      @StripeyHatGuy  Год назад +1

      Hi Serk 👋,
      thank you very much, yeah my wife was busy ☺️. The current prototype was build with scissors, carpet knife and a drill so yes it is definitely possible when you can work accurately - otherwise the pot falls through.
      It just needs more time everything as the template I found online had good ideas in it but it wasn't something I would show or recommend anyone to make - waste of material...money.
      For know I need to use it many more times to find it's weakness/ what annoys me - adapt this in my cad file and test it again. It just needs some iterations which take more time for me as I usually have only the weekend for testing/adapting/...
      Also wanted to thank you Serk for always watching and supporting the channel!
      Thank you
      Stripey

    You made me laugh with your pasta bolognese, I felt it was adressed directly at me as I keep annoying you about it 😅 . Your wind stopper is quite lite , gone with one blow ! So you dont like setting a tent on a snowy summit where you cant see anything 😁 . Nice shot at 1:04 👌 cant help noticing that if you ever get tired of being called Stripey hat guy that you could change for Stripey sock guy , you have the perfect match 😋 Thanks for the video 👋

    • @StripeyHatGuy
      @StripeyHatGuy  Год назад +1

      Well mate, what can I say maybe, maybe not 😂. Yeah the cone is recently at 29g but I assume after a view alterations which I plan with the laser cutting it should be a little more and hopefully added functionality.
      Stripey sock guy... obviously I picked the wool myself but apart of being beautiful in my eyes, they are light and warm - just wool 😎
      Thanks a lot for always watching 🙌👍

      Hi James,
      I am personally done with Scarpa...had my La Sportiva for so many years, got new soles etc. still strong. My next boots in the Ribelle HD category will be the La Sportiva aequilibrium lt/st.
      Haha well we will see where this ends up 😂

    • @jameskyle8092

    • @StripeyHatGuy
      @StripeyHatGuy  Год назад +1

      Yepp and stiff enough as well. But as I missed this winter I will just wear some trail runners/my la Sportiva Nepal if snow and ice would come back. Said this, in a little fluff like that trail runners are fine with me 😉.

  • @OutdoorOperator
    @OutdoorOperator Год назад +1

    I enjoyed this one. How do you like the MLD (solomid XL?) vs the Tarptent Scarp? Do you prefer one over the other? Or do they have their separate use cases?

    • @StripeyHatGuy
      @StripeyHatGuy  Год назад

      Thanks a lot. It is 'just' a duomid, badly pitched 😂. I prefer the duomid - lighter and much better packsize as it doesn't have the poles attached to it (corner studs at the Scarp). Said this the Scarp has a lot of advantages why I haven't sold it (yet?) particular to mention are the two doors, and living experience in rain as by a pyramid you can't really look outside without raining inside...
      Thanks for watching!

    Hi Stripey,I see you are wearing trail shoes more often when you are out these days and thinking you would be wearing waterproof socks??🤔🤔
    What ones would you recommend if you are as I have been wearing trail shoes a few times last year?😃👍🦶

    • @StripeyHatGuy
      @StripeyHatGuy  Год назад +1

      Hi Andy 👋,
      For most of the grassy hills I do think that trail runners are the comfier choice for my feet - partly as my Scarpa Ribelle HD aren't waterproof anymore so it doesn't make a big difference apart of that the trail runners get quicker dry/the water isn't standing in them 😉.
      I wear some Sealskinz (all weather), they are alright but I wouldn't wear them above 5C as they seem to be pretty warm for my feet - I am also not sure if it is my sweat or they aren't waterproof but my feet are not bone dry 🤔 and finally, I haven't walked in them more than 17 km so not sure how they are with a proper hike regarding blister's.
      But I assume your question is rather if I could recommend some waterproof socks...well as soon as it gets a wee bit warmer I will wear my good old trusted wool socks 🤣

The bus drivers are good at dropping one off and picking you up when the stop is not necessarily where it is. The walk to King House from Laidon is pretty straightforward. I don't know if it luck but the driver that have taken me Tulla, Coe etc that they've picked me up weeks later...somewhat relieved.
