Nice tips and video 😊

Merino is a great material, and so good for active outdoor garments. When looking around a while back for good sources, I found out about mulesing, which is especially prevalent in Australian merino wool. It's pretty horrendous when reading about it.

Nice review 👍

Hi Clive, do you use a sleeping mat inside it?

Great review, do you think that i can fit a 13.3 inches laptop in the 9l backpack (30x20cm laptop) ?

Nice information 😊

Beautiful 👍🏻

Beautiful snakes, so fascinating and unique

Thank you for sharing 😊

i like snakes but not those kind of nope ropes lol

Useful information. Not sure I'd be have the bottle to freeze if I came across a tiger or brown snake though!

Good to know

Nice Video and honest review! Keep them coming!

Nice review 👍

Good little head lamp, unfortunately lost mine a while ago. Ended up with a black diamond.

Good morning Clive , hope all is good and well with you ? . I just use the energizer head lamps that have done the job over the years but from time to time have looked into head lamps like that with the red light and strobe function and may purchase the bindi in the not so distance future and see how it goes ?? , it seems like a good headlamp . On another note , I just received my snugpak jungle bag , Helikon Tex folehole pack ( for my new Geopress ) and a LT Wright GNS ( green scales with scandi grind ) that I have been waiting for forever , I don,t think I had grey hairs in my beard when I ordered it , but now , try to find a brown one , 🤣🤣🤣 , but extremely happy with it , a real quality hand me down one day , can,t wait to get out and use it . Anyway Clive , take care , regards and best wishes , Ken , 👍🙂 . Great Review as always , 👍 .

The wall behind uou looks like your in my walk in closet lol. I have a serious addiction

Would XL tarp be better benefit or not from your point of view

Interesting video. Thank you for sharing 😊Glad we do not have any very venomous snakes in Norway 🇳🇴 😊 Take Care 😊

Excellent review from a user of 3 years! Says it all really. Many thanks for sharing, will be a purchase 🇮🇪🇮🇪

Very interesting

Great video. Tried setting my new one up using the instructions provided by the manufacturer and it went about as well as you might expect....Your video explained everything needed in a very clear way. ⛺🙂

What is the difference between qidian and qidian pro? 😊

I've had this mat for a couple if years. A really great bit of kit and so easy to use. It can be a bit noisy but other than that I have found it to be a great sleeping mat. I didn't know about the ability to adjust the amount of air by pushing on the one way valve. Thanks for that :-)

An interesting video. Awesome creatures.

Very interesting 👍

good video buddy thumbs up for the rolling the door inwerd tip

Ya got any e&e pouches?

Savotta makes really nice stuff. I cant decide if I want to buy 4 or 6l side bags for my "S"??

You can buy sarma pads from varseteluka for those straps. They work great and inexpensive

Anyone know if we can get this in the uk

Savotta recently came out with pack straps in brown to match the Brown Jaakari M. 80cm and 120cm. (also in green and black) That will make attaching my Carinthia Defense 4 Sleeping Bag to the bottom of the pack much easier. Thought I'd pass that along for other OCD viewers! LOL

I appreciate the review... thank you!

Great review. I use the Snugpak Travelpak 2 and the Jungle Blanket. Great kit. The Blanket I use all year round and keep it in my car over winter just incase of emergency brakedown.

greta review bud

Great place and great people, thanks for the video!

❤❤❤❤❤

nice run down! Do you take this with as an emergency shelter on day hikes? Does it retain much heat without a sleeping bag in it. Wonder what temps you could get down to with this and just a liner or something in Summer.

Nice review Clive. Take care.

Good morning Clive , hope all is happy and well with you ? . Another great and informative review mate of some great kit . As mentioned in previous reply comments , I only have the standard helikon-tex bivy bag and I am very happy with that , no issues with it since I bought it a year or so ago . The special forces bivy bag is massive , I could fit two of me in it , plenty of room to wriggle around inside and I am a bit of a wriggler until I find my happy comfortable place and go to sleep 🤣 . On another note , finally purchased my Geopress and nesting cup set and should receive it early next week , can,t wait , 😁 . I was chatting with Al earlier in the week when I ordered my Grayl and he mentioned to me when you last came to visit the shop and I thought that you two should go on an adventure together since you live close by and visit the shop regularly and Al often goes out bush to test new kit , I,m sure you both would have a good old time . Anyway Clive , take care mate and have a good weekend and I will look forward to your next adventure / review , regards and best wishes , Ken 👍 🙂 . PS: Your prep room is looking great too , your prep table is bigger than I thought , plenty of room to lay all your kit on , 👍 🙂 .

Looks like such a lovely place to hike and explore. Nice video.

Seriously! - this is a stewed steak (likely pressurecooked) that has no vegies Thankyou for shareing this product - saves a lot of disapointment

You should be using 15-18 grams per 250-60 ml of water. It looks like you used way to much. You should also stir the coffee (either with a spoon or swirl it). For a single cup (250ml) you should aim for a brew time around 2-3 minutes. You can use paper filters with these aswell, and they make better coffee in my opinion. There are plenty of videoes on youtube on how to use this correctly, but I must say it is a bit infuriating watching these videos when there is zero attempt to actually learn how to use the brewer and just expect it to make decent coffee when using it wrong. Every brewer has the capacity to make decent coffee, although immersion brews are usually easier than percolation.

A few days ago (4 July) I used my Snug Pak bivvy with a down quilt. It was at Sues Bridge near Nannup and the temperature minimum was 4C. It worked well and I was warm and slept well. The bivvy bag was like ice to touch but under the quilt was warm. I slept under a tarp with an insect net. The quilt is an older down bag that I had modified to be a quilt. The zip was removed, a foot box was sewn in, and a 20cm raw ripstop nylon flap was sewn in all around the edges. The flap goes under the sleeper and keeps the quilt on top, around the neck it acts like a curtain and keeps the heat in. If you have an old down or synthetic quilt that still has a good loft, but maybe a dead zip or other issue, you can get a local sewing person to modify it into a quilt, which can be light because it has no zip. When they cut the seams, down can go everywhere,, so you need to allow the sewing person time to get organised and be ready for the down. It cost about $100 to get the sewing done. I have a synthetic quilt which is a Ray Way quilt as well as the down one. The synthetic quilt is great and a lot more robust, but it takes up more space in a pack. You do not have to pay $300 for a new quilt if you already have a sleeping bag that can be modified. I often need to get up in the night and I hate zips. I don't know how I would go with four laters of zips, but with the quilt there are no zips and getting in and out is not complicated.

Nice video Clive. Wishing you a great weekend 😊

Good morning Clive , hope all is well and good with you ? . Really enjoy your outdoor adventures , such never ending breathtaking beauty and peaceful serenity out there , who would ever want to travel overseas when we have all this in our own backyard which would take us 10 life times to actually see and experience it all anyway ??? , 🥰 . I hope to travel to WA in the ( hopefully ) not so distant future ( being a New South Welshman ) and experience as much as the beauty that WA has to offer for myself and also meet our friend Al ( SSA ) for the first time as an extra bonus , 😁 . Look forward to your next adventure Clive , regards and best wishes , Ken , 👍🙂 .

Lucky we do not have verry venomous snakes in Norway. The Black Adder being the only venomous snake here, and not that dangerous unless your allergic, old or a child. Thank you for sharing

I found one on ebay for $80. New and unused. Snapped it straight up. Good vid.
