I used to split my stuff into various dry bags but found I could get a better fit using less bags and bigger ones. I now have one dry bag in the bottom. In it goes my quilt, pillows, night clothes and anything else that will only becoming out when I am in my tent. I then have another dry bag for clothes/jackets I want to keep dry but might need in day ie down jacket. I pack these into a 10l dry bag. I found the larger bags actually allow me to get everything more flat pack, so it layers in the bag nicely. Found getting things into small bags create balls, which are more difficult to use up the space in the bag. I do the same with my tent. its almost flat packed. Makes packing and unpacking so much quicker and easier. Then cooking and food on top. Sit pads are better on the outside, as I can get it out and place my bag on it and have a place to sit or move stuff out of my bag onto. Found I went from a 58 to a 44 just by better packing. Like your videos, keep them coming...
@@DaleyOutdoors yeah. I didn't like the idea of one big bag for everything, as it came in handy having things slightly seperated was a game saver on one hike that was chucking it down and had to get some stuff out.
Would love to see a video of this as well. I usually travel with a suitcase and packing bags/packs to organise. Planning a long hike so looking for ways to organise my backpack.
Well talked through a few good points in there. I tend to put my first aid kit in the top lid pouch as it’s something I may need in a hurry. Also I tend to put my waterproof jacket in the stretch panel on the front of the pack as again that’s something I don’t want to dig into the bag to get. I pack my brew kit and stove next to the side access zip, that’s way I can grab it easily when stopping without the need to open the top flap and dig into the pack.
Always interesting to see how others pack their kit, nice rucksack by the way, I was admiring it in some of your other videos, I like the large stretch pockets, very versatile. Good stuff, Thumbs Up.
Cracking vid ,, just a quick tip ,, try putting your waterproofs in an external or top pocket so if you get cought in a sudden downpour you don't have to open your pack to get them out ,, atb mike
I would just add a lightweight chair to what you have there. Yes, it adds weight, but also a little bit more all important comfort for whilst I’m in camp. 😃
I’ve got the same bag, thought it’d help me cut taking stuff I don’t need as I had previously been using a 70 litre pack all year round. I separate poles and pegs, tent straps to the back, I put my sit mat and table (plus map) in the front bungee pocket. My folding foam mat attaches to the belt loops on the lid. I can get my drone in but not my DSLR, that usually sits at the top of my bag. My Vango sleeping bag was taking up too much space before at almost half my pack size alone, so I replaced it with the Alpkit Pipedream, I still seem to have crammed my pack lol only thing I can think that would give me more space is to leave behind Vango Trek 3 or UL80 mat.
Hi Ben, get that down jacket in a dry bag. It will be useless if you get it wet. Only things I couldn't see that you'll need this time of year are mozzie rep, sun screen and a sun hat.
@@DaleyOutdoors it’s the kind of valuable info people need. For example, I bought one of the connector thingymejigs for refilling gas cylinders after your demonstrated yours. It’s a great thing to be able to fill a c100 for less than half price of a new one. Keep up the good work.
I have the Kestrel 65 but the older model without the side entry zips, still brilliant, like your idea of separating the tent poles from the tent, never thought of that, allows for packing the tent smaller 👍 only mod was buying an Osprey 2.5L water bladder, more cushion for the back and plenty of water, thanks for sharing Ben, helpful as always 👍😃
Just got the kestel in 38 good quality so gonna get the 48 or 58 aswell for camping as 38 bit small unless was superlight gear n I can't afford those prices
I do like them dry bags, have a couple of packs myself, they are well worth having. Those Aluft pillows are also great, one of my best buys of the past year. I also bought the exact same down jacket a while back. Cheers, Ben, enjoy the camp 👍🙂
Great to see what gear you take Ben, I really like that insulated food pouch you use, definitely on my list of gear to buy…at the mo I use a thermos one (which I use for work too), good…but it’s a little chunky…looks like the one you have doesn’t take up a lot of space either…ATB, Luke 👍
Ay up Ben 😎 I have the Rook 65 and a very similar set up to you, with a mix of budget and mid range gear. I have the same dry bags which I think are great. I also keep playing around with different ways of packing my kit to see what works best. Also just added a RidgeMonkey compact which I'll be trying soon. Nice little vid Pal 👍
Cheers Justin 😊 the ridgemonkey pans look good, the ones I’ve seen are quite heavy though I’ll have a look at the compact one. Thanks for watching mate 👍
I like to take a big zip lock bag which is in a dry bag and full of baby powder mixed with an anti foot fungus powder. The bag is big enough to get my foot in and its lush after a hike in and set up of my area. Put a brew on get my boots off socks off and dip my feet into the cooling powder its lush.
Looks a good set up Ben. That quilt packs down really small. My sleeping bag takes up double the room which does limit how much I can carry. I think your rucksack seems more suited to camping too with the various compartments. My Exos 48 is a very light and comfortable pack but it’s not the most practical
I love the quilt - I'm a convert now 😁 It took me ages to decide between the Kestrel and the Exos. I went for the Kestrel for the separate compartments and side access 👍
@@DaleyOutdoors I’m tempted to buy one as I notice you can get one for under £100. I’ve got too much hiking gear though and am running out of places to store stuff and risking more grief from Mrs J 😆
Great vid and great packing tips. I keep looking at the ice flame and hesitating about purchasing, but now I’ve seen how small it can be packed I’m pretty much sold on it. Cheers. Also, just purchased the BRS and am going to get a Titanium pot. Much smaller and lighter package than my jobsworth X2. Thanks Ben, helpful as always! 😊
No worries mate. Glad it was useful. I love the Ice Flame quilt. I’m a convert now - no more bags for me 😁I still use the jobsworth X2 for cooing pasta in but take my titanium pot if I just need water to hydrate a meal. It’s a great set up 👍
@@DaleyOutdoors followed your packing tips and now got my base down to 10kg. Half of where I was at 3 weeks ago, and 7kg less than last week. Cheers buddy. Now to by lighter gear
get yourself a “ tile” links to your phone attaches to your key ring or wallet (the credit card size one) omits a audible tone up to 300 met away, can even show you on phone where it is even down to house number or last place it was when went out of range…and finds by linking to other tiles when you swipe the lost icon in app…saved me countless times
@@DaleyOutdoors it’s the amount of times in the morning i have not had a clue where wallet or van keys are in house or swapped from van to van at work and keys in another van slipped behind a seat ..get one best present my Jen ever got me…..
Where do you stow your glasses at night when actually camping? Do you take a glasses case, or put them in a side pocket of your pack, or put them inside one of your boots? Do you carry a spare pair?
Either in my boot or in the tent pocket. Just somewhere easy to find in the dark (and without glasses on 🤓). I don’t usually carry a spare pair but might do now you’ve mentioned it 😁
@@DaleyOutdoors I was out on a long hike a couple of years go and a tiny screw fell out of my glasses which rendered them useless as one lens would not stay in place. I now always keep a spare pair in my pack :D
@@AndyM_UK Paper clip is usually about the right diameter that will slip in the screw hole to get you by. Might give it a try or a small safety pin. Who cares what it might look like at least you can see again.
Great video! 👍 I want an osprey bag but can’t decide which one. And you say 10k isn’t the lightest!? I’ve been on 2 wild camps now and my lightest was 19.6k🤦♂️🤣
@@DaleyOutdoors I just don’t know how to make it much lighter to get it down to around 10kg🤣 my tent is a Robens starlight 2 which is 2.5kg (so not the lightest but I like it) and then my beer is about 3kg🤣
that bag is 70 or 80 quid more now! and closer to 200 quid .I just got one used and I had the Exos before which was good the one without the hip pockets from a couple of years ago. It was 38 litre so I need a little more for the dog stuff and bits and bats and the Girl friend who does with me now so something more always needed !. I'm undecided on lots of compartments on bags like the bottom zip thing for the sleeping bag, I just cant see a practical use as you would always pack your tent last in your pack and sleeping bag first anyway in a dry bag. So why would you need dedicated access to it? the side access is a bit more understandable easy access to clothes or food and brew kit etc.
Unless I missed it you didn’t pack a light source (torch). I appreciate the nights are short but you never know if you will need to do something in the dark%
Hey Ross, no you didn’t miss it - I don’t take one in high summer (I know I probably should). If needed I use my light on my phone but have only used it once or twice. Thanks for watching 😊👍
@@DaleyOutdoors Relying on your phone doesn't seem sensible. You'll drain the battery which may make your phone useless for emergency use. If you need to walk in the dark, you risk dropping and destroying your phone. Can't think of any logical reason not to always pack a head torch.
Yes you're right you should take one (as I said) and 9/10 times I do take one. The last few times I've been out it hasn't really got dark and I haven't needed any light source. Battery isn't an issue for a one night camp and my phone is in a fully protected case. Thinking about it I'll probably keep my small LED torch in the top of the bag with my keys etc.
Hi, just one question, which version of the quilt do you use? There are a few versions, the main difference being if it's a simple rectangular shape or with a tapered foot end.
I did a winter camp down to -2 but I slept in full clothing. Base layer, trousers, fleece, coat, hat and socks. I don’t mind layering up. I’d say it’s fully comfortable at 5 degrees.
Nah just a sit mat this time. I’m heading out after work so won’t have loads of time. Plus where I’m going there are loads of flat topped rocks - natures free chairs 😊👍
F@ck knows how you fit all that in an Osprey 48L... I'm struggling to fit all my kit in my Osprey Atmos 50!! You're like a slight of hand magician 🎩 #DavidBlaine I've thumbs upped it... but was so tempted to down it mainly because in the old days you'd be burnt at the stake for being a witch 🤣
😂 the real space saver is the tent pole pocket. Take the poles out and you can get physical with the rest of the tent. Couple of ancient magic spells and the rest fits in easy. I should have mentioned in the video it’s a limited Mary Poppins edition bag 🤓
Nice loadout m8 but you waste a lot of room. all that stuff can fit inside the 38l kestrel ;) Get rid of all these packsack stuff things. they jsut add weight and waste space. those compression packs are only good for shipping from the seller to you but not for hiking
