      @@strickostricko I did not write of 'enjoying yourself', but rather 'attitude'! Not the same thing! Your attitude towards hiking in a downpour has a much bigger influence on your enjoyment of the experience than your gear. The qualifier just says that you do need some minimum level of gear, since no amount of attitude will allow you to survive a blizzard wearing a tshirt and shorts

    I follow a fair few wildcampers on youtube and i love the inspiring content they all bring, one thing that often crops up though is forgetting to pack items for an overnighter. The simple remedy for this is a checklist berfore you leave home surely? I have a list for cooking, eating, sleep system, tent system, packing, food, medical, i have lists for lists lol

    Agree with you about the zero drop shoes. I’ve suffered with my knees for quite a few years so bought some Altra Olympus 5’s with the hope of some relief . At first I thought I’d made a mistake because my feet and shins were aching at around the 3 mile mark. After a couple of months of persisting I can honestly say that they’re the best shoes I have owned. No more knee pain walking and descending and can walk for miles in them. I picked up on Paul using them in the summer.

Looked like good food - you need to fuel up to keep warm out there in the cold, so enjoy the food while you are out there! Lots of height in your tent; I accept more space than in the Soulo. And the extra lines are ideal - fantastic idea. Loved the video format - chatter answering questions in the tent. Nice! All the best for next year's camping and other adventures, and family time at Christmas.

    Paul, you're one of the few who I reckon puts up a tent in the right order, by setting up your poles before laying out the tent. Less likely to blow away or flap into a mess, and less likely to become really wet when it's raining.
    I've set up my cable system, so I can charge my fone from the Flextail. I also had a trip my powerbank died, and I was able to get enough charge in my fone to get home. I don't use the Flextail as a lamp very often, so now it's like my emergency powerbank for fone charging.

It was -12 and snowing on and off. The winter coat has been there ever since between Halloween and the end of March. Jackie's not a fan, but it keeps my face warm outdoors. Hope you n Jo have a great Christmas n New year and look forward to watching more of your adventures in 2024.
