This video is about the best and worst performing camping gear from my recent 3 days hiking and wild camping trip to the Cairngorms in Scotland. The weather was brutal at times. Mother Nature threw at us strong wind and heavy rain and it was a little nervy when the thunder and lightning joined the party. I don't recommend camping in a storm, especially thunder & lightning. If it had been on the forecast we wouldn't have gone ahead with the trip.
My Terra Nova Southern Cross 1 tent performed superbly though.

@AtomPacks Год назад

Glad your Mo is getting some use Paul! For anyone interested in that pack - it is sold out right now but we will be releasing a new batch tomorrow. Made by us in Keswick. Also this is top secret - but we have plans to release a standard Mo VX60 (Navy Blue) which is the 60 litre version of this pack in Navy Blue VX21 next month.

@PaulMessner Год назад

The 60l is gonna be perfect for my winter setup. There’s a full review coming up soon. Bit of a joint effort…don’t take just my word for it. @Andrew Beavers has a few things to say about the Mo Ep 50.

Not into thin down jacket .I have one bit has been demoted and replaced with a Decathlon-5 synthetic .I realised that a down jacket doesn't make sense if it might rain . There is little weight difference on a thin jacket. I have thicker down jackets ( - 16 and - 40 ) for very cold weather ..were it is too cold to rain .

@eggmammal Год назад

Absolutely. As much as I like my down jackets, have generally stopped taking them on overnight trips unless weather 100% guaranteed good - not often. Synthetic very good now when it comes to weight and packed size of jackets. When wet, down is immediately useless and will be for the rest of the trip. When wet, synthetic retains 80% (I think) thermal efficiency and will keep working. One may not agree perhaps, but recently I chatted with some river rafting guides from the Franklin River, Tasmania, and apparently they're moving over to synthetic jackets - but not their sleeping bags yet. Generally still too bulky. But still glad I have down too but the my synthetic more versatile for longer trips I feel.

I have those same Salomon GTX boots and have similar experiences, they work well for puddles and bogs, not so well vs water entering from above. They do let some water ingress in bad conditions, but for 1-2 days your feet will still be drier than with trail runners that simply don't dry out in these sort of saturating UK conditions. I have the Saloman XA filter (basically the same as the Befree). Great flow rate, no issues yet. After every trip I give it a 12h diluted vinegar soak followed by a 24h white bleach soak. Flow rate is still good as new.

Great Vids - and you have a great way of putting it all over in a relaxed manner - I used to do a fair bit of hiking in Cairngorms 30yrs back -day trips typically (aside from the Lhairig Ghru overnight return) i'd typically buy a couple of 1L bottles of water from petrol station ; then fill up in streams - same thing in glen nevis , glencoe area too didn't do me any harm ; although I wouldn't do it now !

A nice breakdown of your kit Paul. With regard to the issues with your boots, I can highly recommend getting a pair of SEALSKINZ Unisex Waterproof Cold Weather Mid Length Socks. I own a pair, just in case I step in a bog that goes over the top of my boots, or they spring a leak like yours did. You can literally step in a puddle of water, wearing just the socks, and your feet will stay dry. I won't post the direct URL (Amazon) link, as I think that the YT algorithm is blocking the post (as my first post attempt on this matter to you never showed up), but if you do a quick Google for them, then that should remedy the situation.

@@Chris66able I totally agree with you Chris. As well as being 100% waterproof & warm, I also find them to be really comfortable due to their thickness. They're a quality product.

I had a Terra Nova Ultra Quasar early 2000’s in Australia backpacking. I camped on a beach side camp site during a cyclone. Caravans leaking and blowing. I watched from the tent hoping nothing would hit me. Brilliant, stayed dry 👍🏻

@philsmith2444 10 месяцев назад

With my leather hiking boots (Lowa Camino GTX) I clean and beeswax them 2 or 3 times a year. Warm them up to 50C or so in the oven or near a heater, then rub in all the beeswax they’ll take. Wipe off the excess and you’re good! It keeps water from coming through if there’s a leak in the membrane, and when I’m snowshoeing in them it keeps the leather from absorbing water and then freezing. That makes them pretty warm down to around -10C. My feet still stay nice and sweat-free.

@morganjones133 Год назад

I had similar issues with my BFree slowing over the course of a trip, but managed to solve the issue by part filling the bag with water, (maybe 1/3rd) then screwing the top back on with plenty of air in the bag, then shaking vigorously for a minute or so, then unscrew and empty out before refilling and filtering. Should find it speeds up again, at least I did, and now I try to do this process every couple of uses to stop it getting so slow again in future. Hope this helps someone else!

Great vid as usual Paul. I went to Scotland many years ago with a mate when I was in the TA, so used the issued kit. It was over Christmas period. Now I’m getting back into the outdoors, I’ve just brought a pair of Salomon GTX 4’s from Cotswold Outdoors (after several RU-vid reviews) went for the full height as I need the ankle support. Very comfortable walking round in the shop 😁 very good service, 3 year warranty, and for £4.50 they treated them with a special coating, recommended retreating every couple of months. Looking forward to getting out & about. Thanks again for your vids, very informative and inspirational

@greyhikes5236 Год назад

Hi Andy, I wore a pair locally and I would have recommended them 100%. 20-mile hikes around Dorset they're great! However, I wore them on the Cape Wrath Trail and they let me down massively. The sole disintegrated and I fell too many times to remember. I got a replacement pair but I'm not taking them on my next trip to Scotland. I found some hate them, but some love them. I bought them because they were lightweight and waterproof. It didn't matter when you're up to your knees in rivers 😉I hope you have better experience than me 👍

@92Pyromaniac Год назад

I just got some in the low ankle, non-goretex version and I love them! Really lightweight but feels sturdier than a trail runner. I've never managed to keep waterproof boots dry in Scotland so I'm leaning into the idea of just having wet feet that dry faster.

For the befree on longer trips with possible dodgy water sources I carry a very small amount of milton fluid, add it to cool boiled water, dip your filter in it for 30min or so, works a treat to clear the filter out and get back to normal flow after having that frustrating squeeze the life out of the bottle moment 👌

Thanks for the GoPro 10 info, I’ve heard good and bad about earlier versions.

Anyway really like your channel keep up the good work.

So true about the stove in California. I live just below the Oregon boarder. The Chetco ranger district is in class 1 fire danger, but allows all liquid and pressurized stoves, just no campfires in backcountry (until November)

I did a 4 day backpack in Lassen Nat’l Park with 7 people about 8 years ago. We had one ultralight guy with a 9 lb pack that looked like a stuff sack with shoulder straps up to a skinny Russian lady with a 45 lb pack who never complained. We weighed all the packs at the trailhead. My pack was about 17 lbs. I had a Caldera Cone alcohol stove and the ultralight guy told me it was illegal there. I stopped using alcohol stoves after that. He had some little $10 canister stove that sounded like an F-35 taking off on full afterburner. We called him Stupid Light although he was a college professor at UC Davis. Slainte!

@MichaelWhitty-pv9uz Год назад

The waterproofness of boots is an interesting issue. They leather and/or goretex may stop the water coming through the sides but are susceptible to water coming over the top or draining down through the socks from your legs/trousers. This makes putting on waterproof overpants early on quite important or you could use gaiters. These seem to have gone out of fashion perhaps in the UK but are still used widely in Australia as snake protection as well as for against rain!

Had my Katadyn filter clog pretty badly when filtering from a peaty spring on the saddle of two munros and it slowed right down to a drip. Couldn't get the flow rate back after that until I tried soaking in dilute bleach overnight and it was good as new. Seems to get rid of whatever biofilm had built up on the filaments. I'm debating taking a little container of bleach with me on the West Highland Way in case it clogs on me again but I'm not sure how I'd dispose of it.

Yes, you get wet feet, but once you get used to it it's nice to not have to care about trying to keep boots dry, and they shed the water really well so you don't have to deal with endless squelching. And I can get them dry overnight at camp which I never have for a waterproof boot.

@@92Pyromaniac Need walking wellies?

@cruachan1191 Год назад

There is an argument in Scotland that if the weather is bad boots are pointless, unless you wear wellies you're going to get wet. A lot of people, myself included, prefer trail runners as they dry more quickly and are lighter although it's very much a personal preference. I use a Sawyer Mini filter but also carry (as it's very light) a Millbank bag from Forest Fundamentals. I can use it as a sediment filter in peaty areas, or as a pre-filter for the Sawyer. It's only a particulate filter, so water still needs to be boiled, treated or filtered again before use.

@Globetrotter-1 Год назад

Cruachan... I disagree completely and my preference is to use Scarpa Manta boots (non-gtx version) during all seasons, all weather, across all terrains and altitudes. Simply use a natural beeswax to feed and waterproof the leather (I use Redback Bootwax or Grangers G-Wax) and your feet will remain warm and dry in snow, pounding rains, trekking through marshes or crossing mountain streams. The advantage of using the non-gortex version is that the boots don't overheat and avoids the problems with cracks in goretex linings. Even though the thick 3mm reversed leather is silicone-treated by Scarpa to maintain a waterproof layer, it still breathes far better than goretex. For temperature fluctuations between seasons, I simply wear ultra-thin socks in summer/spring/autumn and slightly thicker merino wool socks during winter.

Very good and informative video, the rab waterproof jacket pricked my ears. One criticism, and this is just my opinion but water filters really aren't necessary in the UK unless drinking from a stagnant pond. I find them gimmicky and a blag by marketers. We have trillions of litres of fresh clean water running down our hillsides and if its boiled and there are no dead animals upstream the water is perfectly safe.

@martinclennon4640 Год назад

There is no better water filter than the befree. there are a number of third-party companies that create excellent reservoir bags for the befree. As for the filter clogging just prefilter using a rag or your t-shirt.

@Hengists_Wild_Camps Год назад

Also, with regard to clogging with the BeFree, if you leave it for 20 mins before squeezing, the water soaks into the fibrous membrane thing inside it, enabling it to become more porous than its dried out state, thus increasing the flow rate.

If you could name one company who's gear you trust and use a lot....? 😂😂 Looks like a RAB showroom 😉 Not saying it in a bad way, if anything, it's testament to them that someone with so much experience has ended up with so much of their gear. Thanks for the breakdown. It's always nice ot see what people prioritise on multi-day hikes.
