Yup :) I've seen comment re shoes I'll not reply that way itz under nose to do one day or I'll forget lol 😆

@@TonyHobbs OK thanks no rush

Hi Andy Mine is medium Seems good good fit . I'd get a bit under it . It's not over sized to my mind. I'm 80kg 5'8". I'd probably stick with large unless your my size weight then medium might be ok. You're on social media you can always DM me and I'll send a photo or little vid to show sizing more

@TonyHobbs Thanks Tony 😊 I'll be in touch

Oh yes absolutely true quite a big erect one too 😀 thanks for watching and commenting 😊 I'll look forward to seeing you in more comments . PS it's you're a upstanding youtuber and wild camper 😉

That's good to know re your thoughts on ratings as mostly all I hear is that they are not as warm as stated. I find I'm a cold sleeper when the temps cold But when above freezing I seem to get away with a bag lighter than what I'm in. Like your experience. Although 10c bag in frost probably would be pushing it. Yeah I do love their stuff.

Lol 😀 I'm sure a small bin bag 😉

Sometimes in life a long slow one 😆

Thanks for watching it was great fun making

@@TonyHobbs your humour is very special and I always enjoy your banter. When you come up to the Highlands maybe you can stop for a chat in Fort William. Let us know when you’re planning your next trip.👍🏻

Thanks Simon 😀

That's a bugger Did you pitch somewhere else?

@@TonyHobbs No i back to car and back home. Was to late hike to - as he said on mam tor - or somewhere else . So if anybody want on bamford so be carefull. :)

@@TonyHobbs pigtails 🙈🙉🙊

Hi Sandy, the best by far is the MLDeVent Soul bivy. It is very very similar to this one, it has a hoop (I removed it) and a small mesh panel that can be opened or fully sealed as in this, mine is a large so next size up from this. I removed the hoop as its not really needed and I'd rather more packability and save 20g or whatever it is. That Rab looks very uncomforatable to get in and out vs this which isnt easy but easily doable from the bivy vs standing on grass and crawling in out. It is 850g this is 250g ish. At 850g I see no point in a bivy I'd prefer a tarp or light tent like enan. I'd not easily be able to sit up in it or make tea eat etc. This was easy. Both in rain need doing up. Once snuggled up the material on face head is imaterial as your kind of snuggled up. One day we should pitch them together and do all pros cons and thoughts on them. This one I got primarily for emergency use in Scotland as emergency lightweight waterproof bivy. I was quite impressed as a stand alone like this. My only concern was how slippery it was! I'm not sure if it was the foam mat or the new poly floor., But it was a problem getting it not to slip everywhere. Maybe me. I'll use it again for sure to see. I was surprisingly surprised how good it was. Thank you for watching Sandy.

Nice archival find - absolutely

There were many strange noises from Tony during the night...

It did go very quiet at one moment when I finally stopped slipping everywhere and I thought Ash had been taken away by aliens but alas he was safe

Welcome to the channel, I think youre new.... yup and after kilts you will find odd vids of slugs ie me in a liner lol I have a dog bed thing and a floor for her, but outside winter she won't use the floor she just settles down where she pleases, I gave up taking it when not very wet cold and even then often she finds somewhere more to her taste. Watch my winter trip with chris, she stayed out in minus 7 when I had bed lol she came in eventually lol

@@TonyHobbs yes I'm sorta new, trying to catchup on all your videos/ shows... My mom , I mean , me MUM, was born and raised in Wales , GOD rest her Soul.. You remind me so much of my uncle Rick ... But age wise, we were more closely as cousins, he wasn't but a few years older... Anyway, I stop rambling, I mean waffling ...

very many thanks

They brought me back once they realised I was beyond medical science....

@@TonyHobbs a service to all humanity 🙏

lol one new comment nice said amazing episode lol

Good on you Tony for your contribution to medical science. In 2005 I donated my Smartwool socks to medical science after a two week hike across the Classic Haute Route in the Alps. I think they made their own way to the laboratory as they'd seem to have taken on a life of their own?

Can't get the quality these days lol

Fab news 😀 have fun with it

It was very extremely dangerous out there lol 😆

@@TonyHobbs next title; licked to death by my dog 🤣

Near death experience lol 😆

@@TonyHobbs but was there 80mph gusts 🤣🤣

@neonjoe84 you got it exactly right ✅️ it got very windy from the beans 😆 at least 80mph ...amazingly I was able to stand up in it

Where did you find something lol it's really tricky all the Heather shrubbery stuff everywhere 😂

@@TonyHobbs I’m a local , we have a secret pitch 😉🦉. Great camp Tony 👍🏼

I can imagine. You need to know this land it seems to me as if that peat bed not available ie if very wet lord knows where we'd have gone lol

Thank you for watching

@@TonyHobbs absolutely, local knowledge helps , such a beautiful part of the world , hope you enjoyed you’re time up there ont hills . Was good weather weren’t it . Bloody midges though

Thank you. I've used a bivy like this before plus with tarp over head end on yt 😀 thanks for watching and commenting so often

@@TonyHobbs no worries i try to get out more but just been busy good to see different set ups 👌👌

Had to look it up looks similar to MSR shelters Hilleberg Enan lighter. But Duomid with inner if midges are around (?) Good option. Light and spacious. Never been to Iceland. I'd like to get to Sweden if a friend is able to meet me there for a few days next year.

@@TonyHobbs Basically i'm debating a mid/pyramid style tent vs. a "tunnel" type tent for high wind conditions.

How windy are you expecting and will sheltered spots be available Another option. MLD Trailstar with inner if midges or no inner just groundsheet unless snow falling....

@@TonyHobbs It's always a bit of a gamble, but the main problem with iceland is that there will be few sheltered type areas, very wide open, and can hit extremely high winds. Obviously at some point any tent will fail but want to find something decent. Example storm: czcams.com/video/O255e1-NgzI/video.html - "In the highlands, wind speeds reach 18 m/s (40 mph) on 50 days a year."

I'd be using MLD Trailstar Nothing better for those conditions

Thanks 😀

Welcome thanks 😊 it's my collection 😊
