A run through of my wild camping kit following the Aviemore to Perth trip. Had a few requests for this so here it is , nothing super sexy I'm afraid, no ultra light kit, no kit on a budget, no new to market kit, no fitting it all in a tiny rucksack. Afraid its a little boring !

Didn't realise the amount of gear yourself and others use and the amount it must cost.makes our appreciation of yourself and others much higher and feel lucky we just turn on the TV and watch. got the same socks like..

@geoffmathers3902 Год назад

I like the simplicity of your setup. Especially the stove. If it aint broke, dont fix it.

@davids9549 Год назад

I go lighter with most of my kit than you Murray, but I reckon when you reach my age you might too... One thing I really like about your gear is that you're not constantly changing for the 'Next New Thing' like so many other RU-vidrs, but get decent usage out of it (including those hideous yellow trews!). You're right to highlight Electricals as the heaviest category of items in many packs, and while it's fine for folks to tramp around with a mini-branch of Dixons on their back if that's what they choose to do, my view is that it's largely unnecessary. We seemed to get by well enough before this stuff was invented. However, I'm always mindful that you're shouldering several kilos of extra equipment in order to bring us your videos, the finest of their kind, for which I am humbly grateful!

@jbairdexp Год назад

A useful video for sure Murray. It's just interesting to see what other people use. I did spot on your walking video that you had the emergency device. It's something I've been considering for a while. It's like many things though, expensive until the day you need it. 🙂

Firstly, your Channel is absolutely superb, you camera work and footage shows the utmost best of the breataking views of the Scotish Mountains and the (views are beyond breathtaking). I have been wanting for so long for you to show and review your equipment that you use, and the Trap-tent Scarp-1 and the Terra nova voyager are my favroute tents that I use mostly all year round and the Lanshan for long trails like coast to coast, Cleaved way, Pennine way etc. I try to cut a little weight from my pack but something els ends up inside instead... lol. Your backpack is a great choice due to been lightweight for 70 Ltr pack. The Osprey Aether Pro 70 was used by Nirmal Purja in the absolutely incredible documatry of the 14-peaks, 14-of the highest 8000 Moutains in the world climbed in 6-months by Nirmal Purja and his team and incredible achement and broke every mountaineering record in history. I encourage everyone to watch the 14-peaks with Nirmal Purja the man is beyond incredible. kindest regards.... 👍👍👍

@beverlymcfarlane8681 Год назад

I have to say, I never for one moment thought you were into lightweight stuff, the size of your pack and the effort it took you to shoulder it on that last trip lol. I am a great believer in doing what's best for you.

@joanhuggett5164 Год назад

Comprehensive and very useful Murray. Couldn't agree more about getting a good night's sleep to enjoy camping. Loved seeing the clips of the 5-Day hike, especially that 3rd night camp spot, so beautiful. Love your channel to bits.

@lilithcastle1743 Год назад

Love seeing this. So helpful when you are new to camping and gear packing. I don't understand how i have so much stuff with me, and yet i don't want to part with any of it 😅

@motorcycleMoff 6 месяцев назад

I like your thoughts on lightweight or caring too much about lightweight. I’ve seen it too many times people getting caught out because they tried to go light. It is always a compromise but I would rather a heavier pack knowing I have properly functioning or the right amount of kit. I usually go down the lines of I would rather have something and not use it than need something and don’t. Loving the videos. Always handy to know what others are using. 🤙🏼

@IanTupmanOutdoors Год назад

Lots of good info there Murray. I'm on my second Katadyn water filter. The first one (black) stopped working after one trip. Amazon refunded and I bought the clear one that you have, no problems since, Osprey make great packs and Mountaineering Scotland members can get a massive 40% discount if anyone is interested. I'm with you on comfort versus weight - no point suffering for the sake of a few grammes here and there. ATB Murray

@chrishamilton2527 Год назад

Wow, I love seeing what others use - I never get bored of seeing these. I used to use the same rucksack but the larger the sack then the more is taken along & the heavier the load. I was amazed to see how much kit you lug along. I fit all my winter kit into a 48 litre whilst summer gear squeezes into a 38 litre - both will fit 3 days of food. Im impressed that you carry that lot. Well done.

@BoredManOutdoors Год назад

Excellent insight into your choices of gear Murray. My trips out usually result in electronic gear being the heaviest committment - Of my 12.5kg Skye bag, 3kg was camera and batteries etc.. I'm interested. You have appeared to have made a conscious decision not to be influenced or accept opportunities to advertise 'gear'. What influences your decisions when you make choices of gear to use or wear please? Additionally, a big part of your channel is quality of post production. Perhaps a wee look into editing and interpreting your adventures. And finally - A video every week - That is a lot of your own and family's commitment - How do you manage that part please? Next time you're over Classy Arrochar - gissa shout - maybe help you carry your cameras.. Thanks for sharing as always.. 👊👊👊

@redsoutandabout. Год назад

Hi Murray.Thanks for this, I had commented on one of your Northern Lights posts on Instagram back in April asking about what gear you use. So it's nice to know that you read the comments and do your best to accommodate us viewers. It really does help to know what works and what doesn't especially nowadays when budgets can be tight and by the time we know something doesn't work its to late. So a pointer in the right direction to practical gear is always a benefit. Keep up the good work.

@neilhnh1238 9 месяцев назад

There’s a reason I have a scarp1 ascent 900, yep you’re to blame. I swapped from other highly regarded brands because you sticking with them is worth way more than most RU-vidrs who seem to discover the best ever tent every week, I know they have to earn a living but…. I don’t regret any of the stuff I bought because you use it so cheers and keep up the good work, now get back out on those hills .

Very helpful to see what all you carry to keep yourself going while generously sharing your adventures with all of us out here. Thank you, Murray.

@melaniem1338 Год назад

Not broken, don’t fix it😉 Full admiration, as always, for persevering to bring your adventures to your viewers. No idea how you can carry all that stuff. Hope the knee standing up to the exertion.

Thanks for putting this video out Murray. I like many have had a uncomfortable night due to buying cheap equipment when starting off, a Decent light weight tent & sleeping bag are the most important things too purchase first, Jet Boil stove is also a must.

Brilliant video Murray. Great to hear the thought process around how you choose your gear - not from a 'I want to do that too' standpoint (as you know there are a multitude of options for every gear 'slot' nowadays), more just to hear your thoughts on the subject. I would love to see an updated video on the boots you use these days - in the market for some new ones so interesting to hear the pros and cons of various options from a real user. Best wishes, Jake.👍

Thank you for doing this video Murray. We are currently considering doing our first long distance trail, so we found this really informative😊👍. Really respect you on the 'light weight' stance too, it would seem contradictory to put a weight for your gear up without all of the electronic filming kit you chose to take (which of course we really appreciated as it made for an epic video shared with us😊👍👌).

I’m out in the Lake District tomorrow and just finished packing all my gear myself. Cheers Dave. 😀🥾⛰

@yvonnefarrell1029 Год назад

Yeah that Garmin device was new to me so I just now looked it up on their website. It appears to be a sensible compromise between the excess of a smartphone and the inconvenience or downright in the outback, danger, or going without a device at all. Might be something for my household to look into, just at home. Amazing. Enjoy the lovely Lake District.

@patriciahodd9131 Год назад

Lots of useful information there, thank you. I love the woolly Crocs! The Inreach is a great thing, I bought one for my youngest son a few years ago when he went walking in New Zealand on his own. He only used it once, to tell me he was going on a remote mountain walk, but unfortunately he didn't tell me when he had returned. I spent a sleepless night waiting and found out in the morning he was ok when he posted a photo of a cafe where he was having a well- earned cup of coffee! The only other time it was used was when I got a call from California to say his emergency warning had come on on Cadair Idtis in Wales. The man was very nice and assured me that Rory was still moving, though he could have been rolling down the mountain! Anyway it seems the alarm had gone off in his bag. I imagine he had now recycled that device, but I still think is is a good idea

Hi Murray very informative we have often said it was obviously an expensive hobby due to the range of equipment you take with you,however if you can afford it and it keeps you safe and warm , it's money well spent regards from us both stay safe,we are in Perth next week so will keep an eye out for you

@gainesy_walks Год назад

Great insight Murray, tbh you mention ultralight, I reckon for Scotland that time of year you have to pack for 4 seasons in a day so I don't think you can take much less and be comfortable. I have a similar Patagonia top to that thin yellow grid base layer and use it in a similar way. It's brilliant . Thank you for sharing, David

@jamesbell6889 Год назад

Very interesting to see your kit and thoughts on it. I'm with you on not weighing stuff, I'll take what I need and whatever it weighs will be the right weight for me. I've bought lighter gear over the years but still never weighed the end result. My one question is how is your knee after it? Your last multi day trip was Knoydart if memory serves me right and that sadly ended in tears. All good now?

That's a lot of gear for filming and power back up. Do you not tend to use a drone so much anymore? I always feel a bit awkward taking mine out these days as they get a bit of bad press as some folk just don't use them considerately or follow the rules. You must have good strong core muscles lifting a 70 ltr packed to the limits with all that. Hats off to you good sir. I'm impressed

@thedaftestnameicouldthinko8233 Год назад

As an OAP, I have plenty of time for training but, somehow, I can't get near the fitness I had 40 years ago. I blame battered mitochondria. The only way I can backpack far now is by severely limiting what I take. Surprisingly, my comfort has not been compromised. Just climb into my wonderful PhD bag if I'm getting cold. My phone is the total of my photography kit and it isn't bad but my video clips aren't in the same league as yours. I'm wondering what you would take if you had to reduce the weight of your photography equipment. What would be a minimal kit for you?

Im definitely not ultralight and ive stopped weighing my pack but everything i carry i use and so dont carry excess gear or those fear's of what if.for me its about comfort and knowing my gear works and is robust enough to rely on.and yes at times that means its expensive but i trust it

@paulgal Год назад

Best thing I’ve done with my hiking gear is going lightweight . I bought carbon fibre poles, swapped my heavy boots to trail runners and swapped my 35Litre bag to a 15litre rab bag. Also my clothes I’ve bought lightweight trousers and jackets and what a difference in times.

I have that mini pump, with a light too, it’s great. The only thing you missed, is by what manner of sorcery you use, to pack all that into the pack 😂 I went for 1 night last summer, and my Talon 44 was bursting at the seams, with minimal clothes and food, kit although I did carry all required water.

Totally agree with when you have something that works don't change it, I'm still using a pan I've had for 30yrs now 🤣. Look forward to seeing you back in the mountains 👌
