Brother in mind 😉 me (Germany, 65) also using the basha and the bivy , MTP. Ok, a different cooking set, but in the end of the surplus works great, better to carry a bit of more weight, but really good to trust in! Regards from Germany!
Have to agree. Ive got both ultralight gear and military gear, and I almost always end up bringing the surplus stuff. I like not having to worry about it getting damaged. Dont even notice the weight difference either.
You cant beat army surplus for quality gear at a reasonable price 👍 i purchase alot of the clothing for outdoorr activities, i habe the army winter sleeping bag and it is awesome and takes up little room in a stuff sack.. Great informative video 👍
Nice vid, short, to the point and says everything you want to say! I love all my military surplus, as you say, it's heavy but it is extremely durable and affordable.
I'm an ultralight fan these days, but I still class my Dutch army hooped bivvy and British army arctic sleeping bag as two of my favourite/reliable/durable bits of kit when carrying more weight isn't an issue. The build quality of this stuff is unbeatable for the price. 👍
Still take my Basha to Dartmoor with me, it's never let me down through some horrible weather, cut off the stetcher straps to lighten it up a bit . Might still be heavier than other tarps but it's worth it for the peace of mind.
Yep, because it’s military doesn’t mean it’s the best. BUT it’s tried & tested & is often more than adequate for the job. It’s definitely affordable & allows you to get out there
Great video, I see you was spoilt for choice on the food front 😉😂 and I do agree, you can’t beat the durability of the military surplus equipment. Atb, Brian.
Hey Mate good to see you. None of my kit is considered "light". My "imported" Redcamp 10'x10' tarp is mid weight. Sleep system is a Klymate air mattress and USGI poncho & liner (ranger roll). Cook set, the BCB folding stove, USGI canteen cup and stove. Pack is an actual "made in Germany" Bundeswehr Jager Alpine. Almost 3 figures but I know it won't let me down. Take care of yourself buddy !
So true. What most people don’t know is that this stuff is made to spec. Huge difference to stuff you buy in outdoor stores where everything is overpriced and falls apart after 10 days of actual use.
If u want to stay warmer u should strip down to your underwear when lying on your sleeping bag in your bivi bag then get into your sleeping bag. It’s you that warms your bag and if u can use a sleeping bag liner

Front pocket is also the right size for 2 army mess tins with the folding hexi stove inside. 😉
Nice to see Bungees being used, a rare item with Bushcraft/Survival channels nowadays.

Also there’s loads of health food u can make b4 u go out and just heat up in camp . Wet wipes are good for quick washing up
Can’t argue with that
great video, got all of that gear apart from the burgan. good, robust stuff that works and I love noodles too
I'm glad you chose the noodles! Can't go far wrong with army surplus. Always good to see you on your adventures

How you doing? Missing your updates. Hope your problems were solved. Chin up. 👌
Nothing quite like a military surplus gear haul!
good enough kit ❤
That's all I use if I'm not in my vango tent ,and bivvy bag I couldn't do without
The colder the better 😂😂😂😊

One of my side pouches is Rats the other side is my Hootchie/Basha
😂 3, 8 inch nails and a block of Hexi 😂
#Respect for for making a great vid with a couple of cracked ribs bro👌👍👊
Where do you buy all your gear from ?
If u want to stay warmer u should strip down to your underwear when lying on your sleeping bag in your bivi bag then get into your sleeping bag. It’s you that warms your bag and if u can use a sleeping bag liner
Don't bash the basha.
Grow your beard back 😂👍
Pack 😂😂😂
