    Nice one Kev, it's always good to have a perv in someone else's big handbag 😁 It's a great pack though, had mine a few years and it's tatty as owt but still does the job. Speedster is a great cook system, light as owt. Nice wee doggies as well, and not forgetting the cat :)

    Kevin, Osprey bags are pretty cool, though have the same issue with the mesh pockets starting to go on mine and likewise will probably keep using until it falls apart😊Might give that Decathlon pillow a go as have always struggled to get the pillow right👍 A light pack with room still in the bag makes all the difference and it definitely does take time to whittle it down 👍 That garden looks like a super playground for your well cared for animals😺🐶😊

    A really nice and informative video Kev. I have a similar setup to you and love the exos 48. I'll upgrade to the pipedream when my old Army sleeping bag gives in 😎 The only addition I would suggest carrying is a bivvy bag. Even if the tent packs in you'll be able to keep your sleeping system dry and if there is a natural shelter you can just jump into the bivvy with minimal setup.
    I might try out the speedster stove but I just love how fast the jetboil is.

    • @Kev_Russ
      @Kev_Russ  Год назад +1

      Cheers Dave. Might look into getting one. If they go cheap 😉. I used to take an old mountain warehouse bivy, but used to sweat buckets in it. Aye speedsters ain't as fast as a jetboil 😉

    Great video, I’m defo going to have a look at those stoves. I’m fed up of having half empty gas canisters lying about the house. Oh and it was nice to see you had included your map and compass, hardly ever see anyone include this in their load outs. Keep the vids coming, really enjoy them. 👍

      Cheers Stewart. I defo recommend speedster stoves. Takes a while to boil, but who needs quick water when your chilling oot at camp. A bottle of bio ethanol fuel from B&Q lasts me ages too.

    Looks like you’re set to go! I don’t backpack as much as I’d like to- we still have a pocket rocket and use a fuel canister- I know what you mean about not really knowing for sure how much fuel is left… I’ve often bought a new one to be sure I have enough, and so I have a lot of partially used canisters- lol. Your dogs and cat are adorable! 😁👍👍❤️

    Good stuff Kev. 👍 The look on the dogs face when the cat got fed first was priceless 😅
    Your set-up is much the same as mine. I've switched to a spirit burner over a gas stove, as I prefer the peace and quiet. I still refuse to buy these £10 freeze dried branded meals (tight arse I know) but Pasta N Sauce with some tuna mixed in comes at a fraction of the cost.
    I'm toying with one of those emergency GPS beacon devices, but I'm still on the fence. There's nothing I've seen that could be considered cheap, though the Zoleo isn't too bad.
