Thank you for the support & subscribing More videos out soon

Thank you i really appreciate the support I shall be put again next week for another adventure

I shall be doing a review on it soon

The load was roughly 22kg, most of it was mainly canvas this time round but i will be investing in lighter sleep equipment, keeping it military mind, The wood used was oak at my friends field, he used them as seats at the bottom, i took them up top Thank you for the support & subscribing More videos to come

@@theblackcountrywanderer7523 I have to or three set ups. One all military surplus; one as light and comfy as I can make it and one that goes in the car and has everything plus some. The ex-miliary stuff is great but not the lightest. I like the nostalgia it brings out; takes me back 35-45 years to when I was a young'un

I have the F1 Desert variant and it leaks at the point where the door tapes are sewn. Otherwise it is great and you can see it on my channel in the wet weather tent test. It was sold to me from a surplus place in New Zealand and they stressed it was not waterproof or for rainy weather but it works great except at those seams. I will seam tape them and all will be ok.

@@fatmanfaffing4116 Yes ive seen a few reviews and they all say the same thing. There around £50 here in the uk so i was thinking of betting one but there are other alternatives like just getting a waterproof cavas bivi sleeping bag all-in-one type thing

@@wiberly661 Bivis are good but no room in them and getting in and out in the rain usually requires a tarp overhead for cover... so just tarp up and have a bivi bag to protect the sleep system. I hammock camp now with a Helsdon Hammock tent. Can be set up on the ground but awesome slung between trees.

Thanks for your question, the f1 tent has a rubberised base which is 100% waterproof, the canvas i would say shower proof but would need to be sprayed, it does come with a rain cover which can reduce the ingress of water into the canvas Ive had this for many years & bought to from my local army surplus shop in exeter uk

@@theblackcountrywanderer7523 Have found the polycotton ones (are they F1 or F2) to be perfectly waterproof, I've had mine survive some big thunderstorms and remain perfectly dry now; but the nylon ones are known to leak...............

I went half a mile with it, not too far away Im trying to lighten the load a little each time

@@theblackcountrywanderer7523 half a mile not too bad at all. Although that field looked plenty steep. Nice one. Look forward to your next video

@@manomano8939 not a bad trek really, the first video location was quite steep & more longer distance but this one wasnt too bad apart from the slope im hoping to test out one of my hammocks soon, that might be next. Thanks for the support mate, until the next one 👍🏻

@@theblackcountrywanderer7523 So everything you didn't use this trip put to one side. Keep doing that till you have it pared down to the essentials. The rest goes in the back of the car in case.

@@fatmanfaffing4116 At the moment the kit i take out has its own storage facility( temperature controlled shed) I tend to pick things out & change my mind, then i end up with a big pile of stuff to take lol, i agree with you on that, think im going to whittle down some items so i can lighten the load, my pack is 120ltrs but the pouches on the front carry water etc, that adds to it drastically
