Backpacking Gear Loadout | Hiking Scotland 

This is surely the most chilled out woman on RU-vid. It’s great to see. If my daughter grows up with anything like as healthy an attitude as yours towards all things outdoors, I’ll be very happy. I don’t know how I could pay a more sincere compliment.

I love all your videos, I love how happy you become out in the wild ,it translates through your sweet smile. Keep the adventures coming.

I like how the filter can screw on to any normal size bottle very handy. Great vid :)

Everything is presented simply and easily. Well done girl !!! Thank you very much.

Good for you, Becky. Hark, the empty highway’s crying. “Who’ll beyond the hills away?” - Reveille, A. E. Housman

You could get a silk liner for your sleeping bag, they are light weight and add thermal endurance to your sleep system

brilliant great to see you back and hope you are well becky can't wait for the vids glad you had an awesome time and cheers for the long vid

I can't wait for your Scotland video series. Scotland is one of the locations on my, rather lengthy, bucket list. I think a camp out would be a lot of fun. As I live in the desert (Arizona USA) I miss trees, grass, and rain so very much so I really appreciate your videos. Be safe and have fun!

Good to see you back!

another exciting trip,i am looking forward to the future videos of this treck, thanks

Glad your back, can't wait to see the video . Hope that tent manufacturer takes care of you. Tell your sister she needs to make some new vids. Love you, you look good in pink.

Wonderful to see you again my friend. Love you

We love your channel. It gives us a lot of ideas about what we can do when we get out of the city. These ideas will inspire our customers, and we’ll be pointing them in this direction. They’ll love your content, too! Keep going :)

Rab is a good solid gear choice

One of the best uses for a poncho in my opinion is when you go to the beach you can put it on and change clothes in private, and is great if you want to get dried off after being in the water

Awesome video to wake up to! Blessings from Pauline, S.C. The USA! Yall keep 'em str8 over there!

Thank you for such an informative video. You are an inspiration to young people. Your videos are great. Thank you

I love all your videos, I love hiking here in the mountains of Tennessee in the USA where I'm from when I get a chance to do it, I can't wait to see more of your videos

Just a little tip for your water filtration setup. I us the same filter and found the bag way too small and not top quality at all. So I now use a Cnoc Vector water filter bag and fits on the filter end perfectly and is much better quality. I highly recommend it.

Hey, Becks! Good to know you're okay and have been off on adventures! I look forward to seeing those soon. ATB to the rest of the Bushwacker clan and Buster.

Hi Becky, you can use titanium on open fires same as stainless steel.

Sounds like an amazing adventure, I always look forward to keeping up with what you are doing. Thanks for sharing.

Hey great to see you again Bex! Xx

Good on You Becky. Sounded like you had a great time. Glad your Back safe and sound. Can't wait for the video/s Love the tat, and yup, pretty in pink for sure

I love your Henna tat, to bad it will eventually wear off. Glade you are home so now we can settle down to regular videos of your trip. You have a wonderful personality that's what makes your videos so great. Stay dry and safe. xoxo ☺️

ALWAYS good to touch base with your work! SURVIVAL LILLY is an AWESOME icon in our 'Bushcraft' video fan base...but your INCREASING LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT; your channel and its content and commentary continue to lift your work to a finer level. Thanks for the honest review of the tent! As a man whose wife loved to backpack in a family setting, I cheerfully admit that 'close is cozy' Classic American writers from the Golden Era of Woodcraft often mention that all-male hunting parties expected to 'spoon' together in deep cold to produce a comfortable night's rest. From a strictly survival standpoint, one benefits from not being particularly 'tender' about what sex the shared warmth comes from. Wet shoes: YES! Any seaside wading benefits from 'interlopers' wearing protective footwear. Fishy 'spine' fish that in some areas, bury themselves just below the surface of the sand can ruin even the most informed seaside holidays. Thanks for the idea for a modesty-saving potty shelter! I have never seen that tip and I can instantly understand that it works so well!

Can't wait to view your amazing trip you just came back from 👍

Cannot wait to see your Scotland adventure :D

Very cool. By the way any cheap water bottle works on the Sawyer filter so collect a few cheap water bottles and keep a small one (marked dirty) for using with the filter. They weigh almost nothing when empty anyway, and then you can keep the roll-up one in case you break or loose a water bottle. Thanks for sharing the Gas bottle story I probably would have done the same... Maybe if you aren't sure if you can get it where you are going - if traveling abroad - you can take an alcohol stove instead. I don't think it's a problem to take it as long as its in the stored hold rather than as carry on luggage (and in a proper container) can't be worse than all the booze people take can it! When the weather is better next spring go down to Dartmoor for a week, I think you'll also like that. Maybe hike the ten tors.

Did the west Highland Way in 84. Defo go back and do it. Great views.

Firstly congratulations on passing 30,000 subs that is an amazing achievement becky the soya filter is a cracking bit of kit always take mine out just in case looking forward to seeing your Scotland adventure sounds like you had a great time atvb Jimmy 😎😎

Brilliant video Becky. Yep Scotland is great to visit , lots to see and do. Congratulations on reaching 30k subscriptions.

Good morning from Flagstaff Arizona 🇺🇸. Sunday Funday 😍

Great video. You are an inspiration.

Great Video. You are very organized with your gear, shows passion for what you enjoy. Congrats on 30k that’s awesome!! 🎊 🎉

great to watch your video stay strong and keep up the great hikes

It sounds like you was well prepared for being in the bad weather and except for the water which ran into your clothes at the top. The rest of your gear sounds nice also and as light as possible. You must have enjoyed your time in Scotland despite the weather conditions and felt safe there.

Nice video. Looking forward to watch the Scotland series.

Glad your home safe and happy. Thank you for sharing. & I'm seeing 50 thousand by the end of this year 2019 best of luck with everything!

Very nice video.Thanks a lot.Look forward for the next one.....

Titanium pots are great on stoves and fires and much lighter.have fun.

Cant wait to see Scotland hike videos, ty.:)))))))

Very nice description of what you took for your hike. Am curious to see you geared up with all of your packs strapped on. Looking forward to watching the hike.

Totally anticipating your Scotland trip!! Love the privacy use of the poncho idea...ha! All the best from Canada.

Nice! Always like seeing what gear others are using. Definitely helps you choose gear and maybe find a better replacement for what you have.

GREAT VID BECKS AND GREAT LAYOUT...👍👍👍

Good to see you Becky! Can't wait to see your Scotland vid. Is everthing ok with you? Im always happy to see new gear. Funny thing is i always go back to my proven gear.

A pretty interesting video about the equipment you brought, when I sit and watch it, it seems very well thought out and a lot of experience has been put into the election, it's not any miss anyone here. Scotland itself hiking trip sounds tremendously exciting, so now my patience hangs in a thin thread again. You have a bad ability for your subscribers to sit at the computer and wait. 😁👍 Just watched Mr and Mrs Bushwacker's video from Scotland, it's so beautiful up there, especially the mountain scenery and the wide open countryside.

I can see you have harsh harsh time while you visited scots than hopeless fun~~ you look lost couple of pounds that you look healthier and you wear pink hoody looks now you are full grown up material. Above all, It is so glad having you back in your channel as you are~~~~:). thumbs up

Great video! Nice to see a girl enjoying the outdoors instead of drugs and booze! 😂

You're right, the Banshee is a great tent for Scotland. I live there and use mine the best part of the year. Vango seem to have a good reputation of helping their customers out if something goes wrong with their product. Let them know.

Nice video good luck in your trips

Waiting for the next video so I can injoy going with you on your next in to the wild girl outdoors injoy your self

I watched a vid last week of 4 guys out camping in the hills, One that owned the Banshee 200 had exactly the same happen and had to hike down in the middle of the night and sleep in his car.

I bet those shoes were like putting on a comfy pair of slippers after a long hike in your boots ☺ cool henna tattoo as well.

I have a titanium pot and use it on open fire/coals all the time :p it works like a dream !!

Where you been miss you so much good to see you again have a wonderful day

Hey Becky. I heard about the pole problems with this tent, and took advice, I was assured by other users that Vango had improved the poles. So I bought the Banshee 300 XD (slightly stronger than the Pro) Havent had a problem (Yet) Great video some great tips

Cant wait to see your trip videos. I live in Glasgow and would have donated gas to you if it fit. Glad you got it sorted in the end.

hye becky.tq for sharing...🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

Awesome!!!!!!! Good morninh Becky!!! Great load out. I would interested in seeing your tent repair job. I use gorllia brand duct tape (the smaller roll) just because its better and more flammable. I keep some rapped around my trekking poles and in my repair kit. The stove looks really stable compared to the normal ones. Really you had such had awesome time and truly enjoyed it. So many times we open forget to "stop n smell the roses". Great use for a poncho. Im truly looking foward to any reviews and Scotland footage. Never be afriad to do series because this is your memories so record as much as you like. I ll check the patreon later today. Be safe My friend Joe

Hey Becky does the vango banshee have mesh doors ( iv found a few vango tents named after scottish landmarks seem to be missing a bit of mesh on the doors ) nice to see outside when the midgies want to eat you alive one tip on boots Becky backpacking boots have a forgiving sandwich of flexi rubber between the sole and foot to help with the load . Walking and military boots just dont have ..and will be harder on your footsies , just a thought not many people give much thought to once they have walking boots , they arent load bearing like backpacking boots , all the best Becky

Your ability to cope with the gas cylinder/flight rules regulations is a fine example of 'level-headed' thinking. In a way, it also proves my feeling that having 'extra funds' can smooth out that type of wrinkle. We also learned about 'wet wipes' from our flying experiences. They are 'champion' for cleaning tasks. BEN NEVIS! DO IT while you are still in elite athlete trim!

Glad you are back and had a fantastic trip. What did you put on the back of your right hand? Great video of what you took on your trip. Have a super wonderful day.

The potty poncho??? Brilliant!!!

Cool video mate never good when equipment breaks spent alot time in Glasgow beautiful place lucky enough to go to Canada last year for 3 weeks british columbia thrums beautiful place mountains everywhere love hiking anywhere saw few bears went swimming alot anyway look forward to seeing next video all the best seth 🇬🇧🤘

great video, with the water filter you may wish to consider upgrading the bag from the Sawyer bag to the CNOC Vecto from valley and peak.co uk.

looking forward to the hike video (s ) .. defo do the west highland way, i think best in late spring as it's warmish but too early for midges ( usually )

Great load out Becky. Bummer about the gas bottles.

Try out a titanium cup becky. You will be surprised at how durable they are. Just last week i baked bread in my toaks titanium 700. And ive boiled water with it in fire

We missed ya

you need the Hillaberg Soulo and a jetboil.

nice setup becky hope youre fine all the best john wales

Mr and Mrs Bushwacker's video was great. Did you do the spam dance, when you got to Scotland?😁 Nice gear, the poles snapping, not so nice. 😐 As for not being able to take your gas canisters, when traveling, the lonly Trangia is your friend. You can use rubbing alcohol if you are in a pinch.

Lol gas cannisters on planes - becky does prison bushcraft series lol. I've used titanium cookware on fires for years - no problem (can get minor warping on thin stuff like grates / wood stoves).

Im a new subscriber and just watched the Scotland video fantastic well done, great load out, just bought the vango banshee 200 how did you find it?

What an inspiration you are! Found you through Pam in the Van and so pleased I did. I live in Cornwall and keen to learn bushcraft and how to survive out in the wilderness. Do you recommend anyone, or do you run courses? My sense of direction is quite bad so I would also like to learn orienteering so when I do get to Scotland next year, I don’t get lost :)

Always love your vids. Glad you "got gas in the end"! LOL. Excuse my crudety. Dont you carry a fixed blade? Take care, take air. Nice nails and henna(I assume).

L💖VE it, yay Becky! 👍🏼👌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Army issue boots !!!!! Hark not great for carrying extra 6 stone weight with a solid sole Becks . Try boots with a cushy eva midsole , for the extra impact on your heels and toes - pushing off into your step , especially on hard pack paths ,

Great video, wish i could afford your kit too😀

Becky, great review, I’m doing the WHW this year, I’ve got the Vango Halo 200 Pro, purely for space. Can I ask you, when the tent was wet how did you pack and store it after the rain?

That would of been so annoying about the tent poles. Yea I had to use black tape to fix mine when it cracked. Yea it is annoying with no wood for a fire. When I was in Orkney I just made a fire with dead weeds. There was no trees anywhere haha. It did not last for long cause I needed to keep refuelling it on the beach in the cold and was using dead grass from the moors. I think it only lasted for about 10 minutes and I was too late getting back with more dead grass. I mean to get a fire going you would need a lot of it in bags

Becky I'll save you the trouble, I love Sawyer Mini but their collection bags will break again. I wouldn't even mind spending $5-10 more dollars with a better bag.

Nice and well thought out of the gears. You said you wanted a good waterproof tent. Have you looked at the Hilleberg brand? There are probably the best tents on the market, both with the water pillar and sturdiness. I have a small Hilleberg Akto 1 person tent that I have been using for all year around with out any problem here in Sweden. The bathtub floor in all Hilleberg is 10000 mm of water colum or more, and the fly sheet is 5000. I recommend you to check them out, Hilleberg.com Like the video and keep on doing them. Xo Peter

Hi been long time great little video thanks for sharing with us, txt from my hospitel bed. Ady

Always excellent ^^

Terrible up here in Scotland isn't it , no hot water no heating etc lol . Probably more camping /outdoor shops in and around Glasgow than most cities in the UK.

28:06 I'm sorry, but why couldn't u use a titanium pot for cooking?

You're own life and benefits

just discovered your great channel and watched Solo Hike & Wild Camp 1/2. guess I'll watch the scotland hike next. :P those vango poles are rubbish! poles should not break like that. smh

Where did you hear that you can't use titanium pots on a fire? I've used a titanium pot for years on both a stove and a fire. My children all have six fingers on each hand,but other than that,no I'll effects. Love your videos.Thanks

Hi Becky! I was wondering where you were. I am totally distracted by the Henna and the pretty nail colour. Did you do it yourself? So creative! And insofar as tents are concerned, I have found that however many people it sleeps realistically you should divide by half when you put gear inside. If it was in a storm, I suspect material fatigue. (like when you bend a paperclip over and over till it snaps.) But I will reserve judgement till I see your new video! Can't wait!

Perhaps you could have ordered your gas to the campsite?

When you go travelling do you pay to stay? like your Surry hills trip? Trying to find somewhere to go wild camping in the UK is a mission and a half

cool henna

Hi its been a long time, as I been ill 😭 I got a few of your videos to go though lol I hope all is OK. Ady

Thanx

How was the flight to Scotland?

Hi Becky, long time no see :) hop you're doing well 👍:)
