Late to watching this one, but just wanted to say, I think you're the first camping channel I ever followed, and you are still by far the best. Watched this over breakfast on a drizzly Thursday morning, and it's filled my head with happy thoughts of possible trips.
I love the bushcraft element to this video! I've always been fascinated by this aspect of wild living since I learned about the SOE units of WW2, and then in more modern times, how people like Ray Mears do things. Sadly, I usually struggle unless I'm in a Hilton, but there is something inside me that finds this kind of world very appealing. I think it's because I've often struggled a lot with anxiety and confidence issues, and I see a quiet, comfortable inner-resilience in camping. Maybe one day I'll get there.
I love it when you carry stuff in to cook. I'm too lazy with the freeze-dried foods. One of these days I should go back to basics and actually cook something on camp.
Fun camp 🏕 Yes I agree about the rain on the tent. I have seen several videos that run for hours, and they are thunder storms or rain, and such. You should test the waters and put one out. Keep doing what your doing Love and Positivity Your Way ❤️🤙🏽
Nice one Paul and I love the wood burner I use mine often but as you say takes a lot to keep it going. I am also one of those that loves the rain its one of those sounds that distracts you from everything. Nice video, again. Steve👍
Cracking vid Paul, love the serenity and peace of life in the forest. Get yourself a feurhand baby lantern for the true bushcraft vibe, the beautiful glow just tops it all off.
I’ve got the 1 and 2 man version of the X-Mid and have had full-coverage footprints made by the brilliant Lucy from Quintcraft. Did the same for me when I had the Scarp 1 and 2. Can highly recommend her work - she makes all sorts of bespoke camping stuff, does repairs etc and gives a great service. You’ll need to use the poles ‘pointed end up’ with the X-Mid footprint, unless you have holes or eyelets made in the footprint for them to poke through.
Great tip! And @Paul: don‘t be afraid of using the poles ‚pointed end up‘ - I was afraid as well in the beginning but then found out, it‘s safe when beeing careful while pitching the tent. Put the poles to the final lenght before putting them in, that let them stay in place when placing them.
Hello Paul. Do you have any more information on the trekking pole "shoes" to accomodate the trekking pole handles that you mention at approx 1min58seconds? They look like a useful accessory. Regards, Wadirunner.
Good vlog, Paul. Glad to see you using the knife that Sandy gave you. Love the tent and when I'm ready to upgrade from my Trisar 2, it'll almost certainly be a Durston I go for.
I can't wait for my X-Mid 1 to arrive ... Multi day treks here we come 😃 looks a lovely camping spot, very chilled out video thanks, sorry you didn't get your bacon butty though. Could I please ask which stand you used with the Trangia stove - thanks 👍
Was on isle of skye camping and can totally agree with rain being therapeutic relaxing as spent most of the 4 nights there with it hammering down with the storm force winds and waves on the rocks magic
Good to see you in a different environment, you picked a good spot....the answer to what you asked, spices have a shelf life of about 3 months, though you won't get any ill effects the taste becomes more bland. It was cool to see the Durston out again, I've not got one, but it does look like my perfect tent 😀 👌.
@@PaulMessner I have the solo solid mid on order. I can’t wait for it to arrive. If you get a super windy day I would love to see a test. Nice work. Thanks.
I love your videos Paul, and have taken may tips from them into my pack selection, and I see a golden opportunity to offer one of my own... Pocket bellows.... insted of the rubber tubing to blow the fire, there are telescopic metal tubes, reminicent of a car radio antenna... I use mine every time we go camping, plus any BBQs or back garden fire pits, one of my top cheap camping gadgets!!
Like the tube idea as a primative "Fire bellows" If you had your sleeping mat pump with you, connect it to the tube then you can get a roaring fire going
Very nice video Paul. Enjoyed it thoroughly. I also have the bushbox titanium. It is a cute little stove, though even the titanium version is a tad heavy. I tend to do a lot of "prep" first, pack the box (not too tightly, leave plenty of generous gaps) with a mix of material. Then you light your little fire outside and drop it in. But having a little mountain of material ready to feed the stove with makes life easier. A small silky saw, 13-17cm is nice to combine it with. It's also good to see gear in the flesh and not end up fancying it afterall, the Durston isn't for me. Shall stick to my Hillies
Lovely simple camp that, don't have to hike for hours, sometimes the basic woodland camp is better. My dog would love that just laying by the fire and I am one of the sad people that would watch the video of rain on the tent😀
Thank you Paul. Very relaxing video. To save your breathe you could use one of those small pocket fans to give your fire a boost. Can you post a link for that knife?
I use some plastic tips designed for tarps. They are like a tube with a disk on the end. The disk has attachment points for the tent. Saying that the last couple of times I didn't bother using them and my xmid 2 was fine.
This is really nice Paul, it's like the videos you made back in the early days. Not that there's anything wrong with your more slick recent videos! ...but there was just something really nice and low key about this.
Nice video. First timer here. Noticed you’re doing handles up on the Durston as opposed to tips up as it was designed. Any issues you’ve encountered doing it this way?? Personally, I believe tips up is a recipe for disaster at worst and at best premature wear. 🤷♂️
`Good to see you have a Sandy special. Tried to get one but always missed and now if I had one it would just by part of my collection. The only times I get out now is when by Son can take me.
Thanks. We enjoy yours and Andrew's stuff. Don't mean to bore you with long replies. We could go and now can't as age has its way with us, so we live through you guys. Carry on then!
My Dursten XMid 2p came with extra cord to better secure it in the wind etc. However I'm not good with knots and stuff could you please make a guide video how to do it because I saw the extra ones on yours. thank you.
Loved watching this one Paul, great filming as always, lovely tranquil looking location & beautiful sunset, but wot about those stars...😯 Magic...!👍 Nice 2 have a wood fire, but having to feed wood, whilst cooking is more testing than lighting the Trangia...✔️ I got one finally a week ago, always relied on gas, but have been testing it the past few evenings & loving it...!🥰 Enjoyed the bushcraft elements, as I do the same, just for the fun, even though I have a lighter in my pocket...!😄🙄🤣 Wot was knife U had 4 splitting the wood, as looked like a good thick blade...? Dan Durston tents eh...!?🤔 Have to look him up... Liked the tent, but think I'm cushtie with the kit I use & I ain't got the bucks 4 more right now...!☹️🤬😄 Nice bit of food & has got me looking up Mini Spice Pouches now...!😂 Where'd ya mate get that one...?🤔 Another great film & will look forward to Ur next adventure, best wishes, Kev.B...👍🌄👊🔥🤘💯

Top tip: Use a Dymo labeller for your oils and spices Paul. That way, you don't accidentally confuse lime cordial for olive oil...like who would ever do that ;)
FYI, come 2024 Dan will be selling his own products and will be offering the inners only. I had asked him about this since I have the XMid 1P with mesh inner and had wondered about getting a solid inner only instead of buying a whole new tent. Great hack for the camp stool. Are those practice golf balls?
After a lot of faffing with wood, for my couple of Firebox stoves, I have started taking a small ziplock bag of charcoal. Hardly any weight added to my bag on the bike and failsafe ability to Cook regardless of where I choose to stop.
The duomid would of looked nice in them woods Paul thought I would of seen you in that ha great vid , like the xboil but I made my own version like that a year back ATB nick 👍
It might be better to do a small ‘upside down’ fire in the burner - then you could put bigger pieces of fuel in the bottom and not need to feed the stove quite as much.
Love the video Paul! As a 4-time X-Mid buyer I’d encourage you to snug that fly quite a bit tighter before inserting the poles. You’ll get a much more secure pitch and shouldn’t even need those peak guylines unless the wind is upwards of 20mph. Thanks again for the great vid - very meditative!
Which knife is that? Looks really good! Trying to find something similar for an upcoming winter camping trip, just need to be able to get some bark off, same as you. Cheers!
Yosh! Bad Bwoy. Wha gwaan? Paul. How do you do. Craig the inquisitive wish I can camp like that Messenger fan from day one. A lot has took place since then, apparently as I see it that's a new concept ExPed. How's that fare? Using a 0% Criterion at home as a quilt I'm liking the way it doesn't seem to get hot per say it sort of remains cool yet I'm not cold do you think I ought go out with it or go for the bigger bro Criterion? We shall see;) Yeah! the camera, the star pictures sure awakens the gratitude of what's really going down when guys go camping. It's amazing. OK Paul. Ciao for now.
Hi paul grey video as usual 👍 just wondering if you ever considering doing some bush craft camping inc foraging? I would certainly continue to watch if you do 👍

Hi Paul have you thought of doing a B role shot of using your remote car key and close the zip remotely, when you other half has not been in shot, place her inside out of shot and beep you keys? 😅
Absolutely love this kind of videos Paul. Slow camping and lots of cooking! Love! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Those ‘cups’ for the trekking poles that allow the tent to be pitched handle up are a good idea. Any idea where I can get some?

I love it when you carry stuff in to cook. I'm too lazy with the freeze-dried foods. One of these days I should go back to basics and actually cook something on camp.
Pack bigger wood in vertically like a fire torch and the wood stove will run an hour without feeding it.
So lucky to have that knife, sandy is a true craftsman.
I find there to be something incredibly therapeutic about watching someone cook while camping. Maybe I'm just a bit odd hahah.
Nice quiet little woodland camp. I love how this hobby of ours can take us to such different places.

Best part for me is when the camp is set up and the kettle is boiling, bliss. Lovely video.
Loving the shots of the cooking, fire and brews. Definitely love the sound of rain. Thanks Paul
Please, please show us how you roll up your XMid. The trapezoid inner makes it challenging. Your idea of rolling makes this tent even better.
I will do in a future video 👍🏻
This is something i would also be VERY interested in.
