    You’ve got a lot of faith in a one legged table to be boiling water that close to your plums. Still it all turned out well just shows you shouldn’t let the weather stop you going out.

    Pound the bottom tube in the ground until it's about halfway in first, then attach the top tube and table for ultimate stability. That way, you're not pounding on the flimsy table top. Great vid, as per usual, Sir!

    Bit of a Soba Noodle addict myself! Highly recommend the packet (not pot) versions. Noodles are better quality, chilli (90p) will warm you up, you get more, and ideal to add a few frozen peas and sweetcorn to your trip.

    • @SteRumbelow
      @SteRumbelow Před rokem +1

      Exactly right, Ryan. Had my first pot of Soba chilli noodles a couple of days ago and they’re incomparable to the packet version.

    Wonderful! I love going walking in the rain, but yes one of the drags of very wet weather is finding temporary shelter from the constant deluge. My brother brought my attention to the joys of small tarps this summer when we put one up to shelter from the insane heat. I must get one to enjoy the intense British rain!

    Aaaah, the little green table with a spike! I had one for years. First with our frame tent, then with the campervan for a further 8 years. It must be somewhere out in the garage now, but the sight of your one brought back many happy memories of lazy campsite cuppas!

    Nice! My favorite quick tarp setup for a break from the rain is a plow point... 3 stakes in the ground and a pole or tree to hold up the fourth corner, excellent protection from rain and wind assuming it's facing the right direction.

    Great video Paul, the sound of the rain on that tarp is so soothing. In terms of instant noodles I don't know if you wanted ones in pots or stuff you can also throw in a pan. If its in a Pot, Shin Yun Ramyun is the best for me. Its in most if not all the big UK supermarkets. For ones not in a pot I really enjoy any of the Indomie noodles, again ive seen them in every supermarket. Beef Rendang is my favourite but the Mi Goreng is excellent too

  • @pootlingalong8928
    @pootlingalong8928 Před rokem +1

    Great film thanks (as always). Talking about the cost of dehydrated meals, I’m surprised no one ever considers taking canned food backpacking. Despite the extra weight, at the end of a long hiking day, what would you rather eat, a dehydrated meal out of a plastic pack, or a plateful of stewed beef casserole and some tinned potatoes and carrots at about a third the cost? I know which I’d prefer, and you have to carry extra water anyway if you want the dehydrated food with that weird taste out of the plastic pouch. For an overnighter, please give those canned foods a try!
    😁👍🏻

    Cheers Mr Messner, another great vid - loved the rain on tarp sound in the back ground. I've still to try a tarp - I much prefer my inner tent to keep the spiders out but it certainly looks better to get a view of the beautiful surroundings. Would love to see how you choose and set up the tarp.

  • @ergot57
    @ergot57 Před rokem

    Tis true for me that the meals and MREs offers priced themselves out of my range back when I was still up and running. Worked around that no problem the last few years by buying with my hunting buddy a food dehydrator and following suggestions from Y/T recipes. It worked and gave us an excuse to get together for a pint to do the mixing and spreading on the trays. Before all of that, we were younger and didn't mind carrying a little extra weight food wise. Hell, when we started C-Rations were all there was anyway.

    Second yer on that don't the rain spoil the fun, group of us went out riding our bikes today, very wet in the Lincolnshire Wolds, but great company and some banter makes for a memorable experience. Yes, the trusty Quest Stick, not used it much myself either, difficult to pack on a bike, I wish it was foldable as other than that it's really a good looking product. In the car, van life or hiking great - bikepacking a little awkward to carry - like tripods!

    @jonathanspence7721 Před rokem

    Nice video and a bit different too - the insta 360 x3 looks noice and the table is a great idea - thinking if you got some of that silicon sheet it would resist any heat too and you could stick it to the top of the table. Even the tarp which I am a bit sceptical of (Scotland based and midges would make it almost impossible I think maybe) was well used and a great idea!

  • @JonnyHyrulian
    @JonnyHyrulian Před rokem

    My instant noodle love has prepared me for this day!
    Soba noodles are probably the best in terms of convenience and taste.
    Indo mi noodles (the base flavour version) are easily the best per £1 and taste great. I get mine for under 50p a pack, and they are my go to.
    The best noodles are Laksa La Mian. They are the most expensive at about £3.50 per pack. But they contain much more and honestly taste amazing. More than worth the cost.

    Quick question: What's that stool? I checked your kit-list but didn't see it. - NEVERMIND, I spotted the logo on it. For anybody that's interested it's the Robens Geographic.
    Thanks for the motivation and inspiration.

    Nice vid mate and loving the rain on the tarp 👌🏼. I need a bigger lighter weight tarp as I’ve currently only got the alpkit rig 3.5. Those stick tables are the best camping table going IMHO as you can always have a level surface regardless of where you pitch and it weighs nothing whilst being very sturdy. I’ve battered mine over the years and it just keeps doing the job. Anyways let’s get something pencilled in over the next few weeks 👌🏼. Take care Steve

    Those Freeze meals are absolutely bonkers here in Canada as well. You could buy a lobster tail dinner for the price of a Salty mountain house scrambled eggs. To Pricey for me. I have always wanted to try getting a dehydrator and making my own though. They don't last as long as freeze dried but it could be a nice way to save weight and still eat good without breaking your back. That said you can't go wrong with noodle snacks. Keep up the good work Paul.

    @jamesdobson5022 Před rokem

    Hello there Paul. Really enjoy your output. A tarp is not for me unless as an emergency shelter !!! But those noodles are bloody delicious !!! Added a bit of dried chilli for a bit of a kick before the water, ( handsome ) as my dad would say. Drank the remaining juice at the end ( Defuckingliscious) as I would say !!! If you fancy a bit of mash during a camp try Idahoan instant mash !!! I know what you are thinking instant mash ??? But it’s actually very good !!! I prefer the cheese version and use a mini plastic whisk to mix in the water. Beats expensive dehydrated meals any day. Good luck and mind how you grow.
