Well done DD, and best of luck with the next steps,

Excellent result! Great channel. Congratulations 🇬🇧 🇳🇿

I wear them alot from early autumn onwards, I tend to be a forest hermit, so with mud, brambles, especially bushwacking ,I use on similar to yours ,gortex trekmates gaiters, had about 12 years if not longer, but I may get another pair just in case, cool video, good health and safe travels my friend, cheers craig

Very well done brv, you are very insightful man. ❤

Well done.

You could tell strange folklore stories about the area you're visiting? That'd be fascinating. Throw in some facts as well, so it's informative too? 😂

Eyyyy! 🥳 Many Congratulations Friend! Glad to be here! 😋👍🤝

Congratulations 🎊

Congrats on 5K. Excellent information and great presentation. Thanks

Congratulations 🎉 it's a lovely channel. We watch everything and enjoy it every time. 🙂

I subbed earlier today as i like your straight forward videos and non of that silly clickbait titles to your videos.Well done.

Cheers for the great little review. For the other viewers and those thinking of investing in 1. I have 3 of these that I tie together to create a modular sleep system. I sleep hot and I have taken 3 of them combined down to -4deg on dartmoor and I was alright.i am convinced that when they are made they weave magic spells into the damn things as they will cool you in the heat and keep you warm in the cold - go figure. They are 100% worth every penny.

Grunt Proof drags the earlier version of this bag behind his pickup truck. Indestructible. Worth a look-see.

I want to be sneaky tho

"Its illegal to carry any item you intend to use for self-defense" "If somebody attacked me, I'd hit them on the head with this big torch I have on me" Man, if you get into an altercation, I hope nobody watches this.

Is not waterproof?

i've swapped back to leather boots over fabric. Fabric offer litter weight and I feel work well in summer months, but I have found that they can be punctured by thorns , brambles etc. Since I'm out in rough woodland a lot , especially when coaching or marshalling I found the leather ones are more durable. BTW I wrote a review of the Salomon gtx hiking boots on website a few years ago

I always go camping by myself..here in the USA 🇺🇸 I carry a pistol and rifle..

My sort wide beam head torch for around the tent. My Stanley torch with a long beam for everything esle. Use the two in case one fails.

There are some round bells (collar cat tipe, I don't remember its name in english) with a clip that are normally sold for fishing. These are good to be atached to the fishing nylon to crate a barrier with sound if they are touched. They are small and light to carry, and can be attached to anything. I would not recomend them if it is too windy though, bc it can make unwanted sounds if there is too much wind. But in normal conditions they are great.

You gave raised some really good points about waterproof and reliability. I don't have a waterproof one as such. I have two energizer headlamps (one has red light function) I carry spare batteries. On the EDC side my keyring hosts a True Utility rechargeable led and I have a separate pouch with a fully charged Olight IR2 - think that's what it is called, it gives 6 hours on low light. Always enjoy your videos and I will check out that torch you have, thanks.

I would like to add, that having ability to use red light is pretty useful - at the very least damn mosquitoes don't seam to be attracted to red light

"People will think i'm a complete nutter." Know you do they? 😂 Seriously though, thanks for your wonderful content. It's strange how things kick in isn't it. I put a handful of small carabina clips in my pocket when i took my Son to the Woods for a picnic in the Tent. As we were putting it up, one or the corner fabric bits snapped. My Son went,"Awww bro! No waay!" I suddenly remembered the clips and went,"Eyyy 'ang on a sec!" And i clipped the two broken bits together. It won't last many trips, but i was fascinated by the way my instincts just kicked in like that. Think i'm actually getting the hang of this stuff. 😂👍🤝

I'm very into solo camping, perhaps not wild as such, as the Woods i camp at are about ten mins from my front door, but it's the Wildlife i love, the smell, the sounds. None of that's a possibilty at a campsite or in a hotel. You have traffic, other folk talking and tech bleeping away. I've never lit a fire on my Adventures, because i feel it attracts too much attention, and deters those lovely little critters at the same time. I want them to snuffle about nearby. That's the nitty gritty of it for me. 😂

Imagine if you could hook something up to make a horrific growling sound. I reckon only a complete psychopath would hang around after THAT sound. 😂 Oh and body spray could be a justifiable self defence item wouldn't it? Your setting up, getting a bit hot, been walking round for a spot for a while? 😉 They get too close, they're getting it in the eyes as well as being temporarily blinded by the torch. 😂

The second time i was Camping in my local Woods, it was around half one am, and a roe deer was about ten feet away from my tent. I was asleep at the time, only to be jolted awake by "Baark baaaark brrrraaaark" Luckily i'd heard it before both in real life and as audio. Still initially jumped out of my skin, before chuckling to myself,"It's a bloomin' Deer! Maaan that's wild!" 😂 Love UK Animals. We have some nuts sounding birds and things don't we? Haa!

I only was only considered a bit of wild camping! Our cousins over the sea would have us believe an armed hamburgler is behind every bush. A night in the country sounds like surviving Vietnam. A well put reply, dont suppose it changed their opinions though...hohum.

off topic but that looks exactly like the woods they filmed wold blood in 😂

It's designed to be used with the dutch army poncho so your wearing your tarp very good system when used together

In America we stand our ground!

I've got spaniels I take, the only issue is that there isn't anyone or anything that doesn't know we're in the woods because they're like a bull in a china shop 😂 They are quite good at telling people the camp is their camp and nobody else's though 👍

You have a great narrative voice mate. Just found the channel. Enjoying the content. New sub from me mate. Greetings from Ireland ☘️☘️

Outstanding and simply professional review man! Fantastic work!

Ive tried many different boots and recently it kind of doesn't much matter about the upper to me as most modern boots fail in the sole really quickly these days. Most soles are made with cheap foam and a tiny thin layer of rubber that looks good but lasts five minutes and then the boots are scrap. All main brands I have tried recently are made so badly that they almost seem to want their boots to fail (I wonder why) and so the soles are utter junk, just for show.

I'm amazed that your leather boots have lasted you for 10 years. The soles of mine generally wear out in 6 years. Fabric boots can be OK if you are a fair weather walker who always sticks to firm paths but, as you say, once the waterproof lining wears out they just leak. I don't do so much walking these days, but I have to be out for the dogs every day, rain or shine, for a couple of miles, so leather is always my preference now.

the sack is awesome!super quality!

I love my leather Altbergs for when in the woods or on my explores (urbexing) and my leather Meindl's for winter hiking but for the rest of the time when hiking/walking I'll always use fabric, many times trail runners. So much more comfy and light.

Useful video thanks. I am the same age as you and have an old ankle injury. Even though I work in town I now wear leather hiking boots all the time to protect my ankle. I wear my older pair of hiking boots when out hunting. Typically Lowa or Meindl. When waxed they last years. Interesting as to how the stiching lasts on the synthetics? Cheers Dave 🇬🇧 🇳🇿

I tried once using beads and stopped immediately. When I hike I want to enjoy my surroundings and not count for ever. I use time as I have been hunting for many years in Australia and I know by distances from experience.

Please! Do not use fine mesh products around camps in the woods or around the margins of fields. Deer will become entangled in it and then panic. They are strong enough to drag it away and it will cause a miserable and long drawn out death when they get snagged and caught. I have seen the results of exactly this in its miserable. I stalk deer for food as well as doing bushcraft and camping. It's vital that we respect the wildlife around us in their habitat when we spend recreational time. Likewise thin cords can cause harm and damage to limbs of deer if they hit it at speed. They often run through woodland areas at night and during the day. Much of this video is based on paranoia and fear of a threat that really isn't there. If you wild camp, just choose your location very carefully with a decent recce and intelligence gathering prior to setting up. Remember too that in many of the circumstances involved in these potential conflicts, YOU will likely be the trespasser on someone else's land. Of course our personal security is important and I use camouflage and proper prep. But if challenged, it's really time to go away. It is highly unlikely that you are going to be attacked in your camp! Just carry a powerful torch, a phone and make sure you stay as far away as you can from routes where anyone who is likely to be a nuisance will go. I love all these outdoor pursuits and yes, I am very cautious about solo overnight wild camping....but I have never had any issue if I go a long way off the beaten track. Remember that anyone with potential mal intent is very likely to want to be within easy escape routes via footpaths or lanes or roads......just go further than they are likely to be bothered about. Have fun and remember not to carry anything as a 'weapon'. By the way....nice smock! I have the same one!! 👍🏻😊

Last time wild camping in central Europe no human would know I was there and I would leave no traces either. However, some remote villages might have some farms with guard dogs, and they would know I was there from a mile away ;-) So I sometimes inspired some evening barking in the distance. But when they realised I was not moving and potentially no threat, they would calm down after a while.
