A joy to see a Trangia stove after watching dozens of wild camping videos featuring Jetboils and clones. Mine is still going strong after 30+ years.

@gymbobjoe1091 10 ай бұрын

I've got one of the OG jet boils that has lasted almost 15 years. Minus a clock starter it's absolutely perfect.

@markw1915 7 ай бұрын

@quantok Same, had mine since the early 90's, have the gas adapter for it too.. damn good bit of reliable kit, works every time in all weather's so far, harder to start in the deepest of winter, but if you warm the meths 1st by having the bottle next to your body it's much much easier 👍

@tobywinyard1106 7 ай бұрын

Jetboil for heating water. Trangia for proper cooking. Not used my jet boil for 5 years plus now. If you want to cook on a jet boil all the extra gear you bring is heavier and bulkier by far than a Trangia and WAY more expensive.

For ur cappuccinos sachet, to avoid lumps, add a lil bit of hot water to moisten the powder first, stir to make a slurry/paste b4 adding the rest. I use this method to combat the hydrophobic nature of cinnamon, (and cocoa powder) and to combine the coconut oil with the other ingredients b4 adding the rest of the hot water. It's something about breaking the surface tension and making a colloidal suspension or something like that 👍😝🤙

While I haven't done this sort of thing on my own outside of the army, I have always loved being out in the colder weather. I was in Estonia a in 2017-18 and did a cold weather course, ran by royal marines and the coldest it got was -32. The warmest I got was in the survival shelter. Nice long fire but no sleeping bag. It was brutal weather but what an experience. Definitely going to get in the peaks very soon.

Excellent vid Paul. I like the way you've paired up with Andy as well, and I think that this is the best way to go, as in this sort of extreme wild camping, having a companion means that you can keep an eye on each other. A very important safety aspect that could save a life if things went Pear shaped.

A few winters ago I had a winter sea kayak trip at this time of year up a sea loch on the Scottish West coast. Apart from having freezing fingers whilst pitching and taking down my tent, it was a brilliant experience. Minus 8 overnight. I had a Rab down bag and Exped Down mat, plus a foam mat. I also had an Alpkit bivvy bag. All inside an old but good Wild Country tent. The kit is what makes the winter camping trips fun rather than torture. I have loads of camping kit to cover Summer trips, depending on weather and how much faff I want each day when packing and unpacking the kayak. In winter, I find it easier to think of what I need as the basics of best bag and mats for insulation never change, and winter is the only time I don't take my Trangia gas stove. I revert to the Method version as even though it takes a while, it always goes. I have a second stove with fuel gel just in case. Learning what works for each individual is vital. Everyone has their own thermal comfort level but the main bits of kit which work are soon found out with a few nights out. Your meal sounded great. I like canned big veg soups as starter. Weight of cans doesn't matter much in the kayak, and the taste is much better. Main course is anything of the add water type. To keep my feet warm in the tent I have down slippers too, plus battery hand/feet warmers. That's only due to the kayak boots not keeping feet warm so I need to warm them up once into my evening clothes...from drysuit and thermals. I don't hill walk and camp. I agree that space is important on long winter nights. It's good to stretch out and have gear laid out.

Great video, entertaining and informative. I bought a wild country voyager in the days before Terra Nova, it was a fantastic tent that I had to retire after several decades of use, i may be a hilleberg fan these days, but i miss its simplicity and overall sleakness only achieved with an inner first tent. It was a brilliant tent to escape weather, or midges. An easy tent to cook in. And easily pitched in 5 mins.

For alcohol stove users: carrying your fuel in a recycled plastic spirits container (peppermint schnapps, in my case) against your body, underneath your insulation, guarantees a quick light-up, rapid bloom, and efficient water heating as well. Carrying your preheated water, and using a hot water bottle at night will save time and fuel as well as helping warm you in the process. For booties, I have found the ones without a built-in foam sole keep my feet warmest. My Feathered Friends (USA) booties have a separate waterproof shell with a tough, insulated sole of coated, slip-resistant heavy-duty fabric.

Great watch Paul - as always. Love the Voyager. Mine is about 20 years old (no kidding). Last year I had to recondition it having forgotten I'd put it away damp a few months earlier. Although not quite cosmetically, functionally as good as the day I bought it (over in UK - an ex display - probably about 250GBP). Still my Go -To tent for anything other than super lightweight backpacking. Keep up the good work.

It's been decades since I last deliberately camped in sub-zero conditions. It's not the actual camping that's the problem it's the weight of the carry! Nowadays I stay in bothies. Not as warm but much more room and no fears about a storm sneaking in. Re the water bottle, on one of my winter camps I had an aluminium Sigg bottle crack open with the cold, since then I've always kept them inside the inner and wrapped inside a sock. Gas bottles (and batteries) come with me inside the sleeping bag (and wrapped in the other sock!). My coldest camp was new-year 1980/81(?) at -27C, 6 of us in the Lairig Ghru at Corrour Bothy.

Your most beautiful video with the help of Mother Nature. And all the comforts of home. Camping in the snow is a lot less horrible than people think. I went with a group up to Yosemite National Park here in California two years ago, and I don't remember ever being cold. There was about 18" of snow on the ground, so we had a bit of work to clear the snow for the tents. The stars at night were the main event. I'll sound like Sir Patrick Moore in a moment.
