I don’t recall that it does fold into its pocket sorry mate.

Glad it was helpful!

Hope you enjoy it!

Base Camp gear, but you might have to wait as they can be tricky to find.

Yeah it’s interesting they’ve discontinued it.

Totally agree

I think it was September, it was a few years back.

Spot on.

It’s a real shame about their QC or lack of it these days.

Glad it was helpful!

They were mediums and they fit true to size.

How was your trip??

Can’t beat a Hilleberg nothing else seems capable of matching them.

Hi mate! Yup we are always working on audio quality, it’s the hardest thing given the mountain weather in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Sorry for the very late reply. Main issues were the stitching quality started to rip after 2 windy nights. It just wasn’t mountain weather capable for me. Also the poles are not great.

Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️

@@OutdoorIntrigue Yeah, very good.

Glad you enjoyed it! It’s a little lantern diffuser by Montbell.

You and me both!

Yeah we get colder temps on the mountains so for winter alpinism or climbing I take things for closer to -15c depending on conditions. You definitely have to consider the cold more than our maritime climate, we get the humidity all year though which can make it feel very cold. 🥶 🙌🏼

Hi Graham 👋🏼, sorry for the very late reply!! We really appreciate you watching and your lovely comment! Sounds like you’re having some brilliant wild camps. We both love Dartmoor, and in winter it’s even better. Good kit choices you’ve made, a decent mat and bag are so important to winter comfort. All that experience you have will put you in a good place for taking on winter in all its forms. For snow we use a variety of pegs depending on the expected conditions. Usually a mixture of MSR Cyclone & MSR blizzard stakes. Take care and happy trails!!! Ben & Megs

@@OutdoorIntrigue Aww, such a lovely reply, thank you so much. Looking forward to enjoying more of your adventures. Cheers, Graham 🥰

Just go watch some of our videos and you’ll literally see us using the pack regularly… No point in making a flippant comment when you’ve not watched any of our adventure videos.

Hi mate 👋🏼, those are a very old pair of Rab polartec fleece gloves. They are great and comfy, but not at all water resistant and not touch compatible… so I’d not recommend them for all things. If you’re looking for a good general pair for hiking then the Arc’teryx Venta’s are good, so are the Rab VR’s. Gloves are such a tricky thing really, I find you need loads to meet different seasons, weathers and activities. Appreciate you watching!

@@OutdoorIntriguethanks for this, and going the extra mile and suggesting some other glove options. I’ll defo check them. Right, now back to England getting hammered in India. 😢

No problem. I just had a look at the score, that 370 plus lead is not looking good for England 😂

@@OutdoorIntrigue 🤣

I think you probably could but it’d be a bit awkward. I have the HMG water bottle attachment that sits up on the shoulder strap and typically use a soft flask with it.

I also go in and out of watching RUclips. Sometimes it’s great though. We are still alive and kicking! We just never have much time for making videos really. With work and the puppy and going out in the hills every weekend it slips off the list. Well try and do more though 🙌🏼 You keeping well?? Any trips planned?

Nothing planned at the moment other than to try and start getting my Hill fitness back as I've just not been getting out with life just getting in the way. Hopefully be back out very soon even if it's more local walking just to get the fitness back again

How you been going lately, any trips?

@OutdoorIntrigue no hill trips as yet but got wee video out of wee overnighter to Loch Awe to go out fishing with my Dad on his wee boat

Still great to be out! Loch awe is beautiful. Hope the fish were biting!

Would recommend 8kg, it’s much more comfortable! 😉

Hey pal! The HMG has two aluminium stays that help transfer weight to the hips and the Hanchor Tufa has a removable foam pad that helps gives some support without an actual frame. They’re both comfy up to about 15kg but after that you’d probably want something with more structure 🙂

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it - it’s a beautiful part of the Highlands 😍

They’re great aren’t they? They have a west coast feel to them with the same sense of space at the Cairngorms. Best of both worlds! Oh crikey, I’d take the wind and cold over midge like that any day 😂 worst camp we ever had for midge was Fisherfields, harrowing 🥲😆 appreciate you watching pal 🙏🏼

Glad you enjoyed it!! ☺️

Hey Kev! I haven’t had any Inov8 bits for a while actually. I do like the grip on their stuff and the graphene is pretty interesting. Megs had a pair not too long ago and it was the same story the sole lasting amazingly and the upper not lasting very well. I’d say all Gortex boots take ages to dry, but that’s one of the sacrifices for hopefully 🤞🏼 having dry feet. I’d highly recommend the la Sportiva ultra raptor boots, they are all I use for lightweight (non stiff) boots most of the time. I’d honestly say their grip and comfort is the best around. They do also suffer a bit with lasting annoyingly. I always find the waterproofing in lightweight boots is the first thing to go. It’d be good to see you and Robin again btw!

@@OutdoorIntrigue cheers bud. Aye defo. 👍

Hey 👋🏼! So glad your enjoying our little vids 🙌🏼 It’s tough with down isn’t it. We mostly use synthetic insulation in all our clothing options, but for sleeping bags it’s just not possible to get anything small and light enough that isn’t down.

@OutdoorIntrigue yea very true. Just hope in nr future we get more lighter/packable synthetic options... we can only do our best ...keep rockin them vegan camp meal ideas 😋👍

Hey 👋🏼, it’s the Apache MF. The sizing is great, very nice and roomy bags. Western Mountaineering make my favourite sleeping bags. 🙌🏼

Thanks Ty! Been a hot minute and a busy 2023, but excited for some big adventures out with Ruadh 🐶🐾🥳

Absolutely agree with you about ON Running stuff! And about Arc’teryx stuff. Wouldn’t get anything from On after the bits I had.

@@OutdoorIntrigue I like Haglofs and Odlo. Been buying both for years and I've not been disappointed. My brother likes Salewa stuff because it fits him well. There's lots of good gear out there besides paying a premium for a trendy name.

Glad you enjoyed it! It was a chilly wee breeze ❄️ 🥶

Thanks!! That’d be lovely!! The Hilleberg crew 🙌🏼🙌🏼😂

Thanks pal! Appreciate you watching, glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼 This one’s been in the edit for a while now, was before he was big enough for big hills. Now he’s old enough I think he’d have loved this trip! Looking forward to him featuring on the channel a bit more 🙌🏼

@@OutdoorIntrigue Me too, he’s a special wee guy. 👍🏼

Highly recommend it! There’s so many trails and hills that you can link together, could easily spend a fair few days out camping and hiking. There’s a youth hostel near the top of the loch and apparently when the station is open for the season it does great food too. Thanks for watching, let us know how you get on if you ever head out that way!

@@OutdoorIntrigue Will do, I will go there but for now im doing East Highland Way and Speyside Way in June and something else in March maybe Arran Coastal Patch or something else.

Amazing, sounds like you’ve got a year full of pretty epic adventures on the horizon!

@@OutdoorIntrigue I hope so haha same goes to you, atb on trail!

Thanks so much for watching Jimmy! It did get a bit chilly in the morning, never seen the tent so icy before! Really cool area though, so much space, was beautiful 😍

That’s so kind of you to say, thank you! It’s something we’ve always thought about, maybe one day we’ll put together a book of our favourite trails, hills and camp spots ♥️ Appreciate you following along and watching, really pleased you enjoyed it 🙏🏼

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it! It’s wild isn’t it?! Such a cool station tucked in between some amazing hills and big ol expanse of nothing. Amazing we have space like this in the U.K. still 😍

Thanks Gary! Snow on the tent is such a lovely sound to fall asleep too, could’ve done with 10-15mph less on the wind though 😆 still always better than rain!

Thanks pal! Appreciate you watching. Nothing quite like wind driven snow and ice to make you feel alive 🙌🏼

Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it! We got a real taste of Scottish winter in this one 😅 beautifully brutal!

@@OutdoorIntrigue 👌🙂

Thanks pal! Got the true Highlands experience, little bit of every season 😅 Hope you’re having a blast, great seeing you back out on the hills again 🙌🏼

Glad you enjoyed it! We’re getting there with our first round, taken a fair bit longer than we thought it would 😅 not a secret, most people have no idea where they are or aren’t bothered though so we stopped including them. The first on this loop was Sgor Gaibhre and the second was Carn Dearg 🙌🏼

Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it! Was a great adventure, little bit of everything Scotland has to offer 😅 happy trails!

Thanks Mike! Feels good to feel creative again. We are, 2023 was a hectic year, took a lot of energy to just maintain the status quo 😅 it was indeed, hard to believe the lil man is turning one tomorrow 🤯 he’ll start featuring in videos from here now he’s big enough to start joining us. It’s such a beautiful part of the Highlands isn’t it? Weather was perfect, beautiful day one and brutal snowy day two, true Scottish winter 😂

@@OutdoorIntrigue the little man would have been a very handy hot water bottle for this trip! I have a three year old with boundless energy and she loves camping almost as much as she likes herding deer 😱

He really does kick out heat! We got him his own sleeping bag but all he wants to do is climb in ours 😂 cuddly lil thing. Aww lovely! 3 must be a great age - past all the teenage insanity. What breed is she?

@@OutdoorIntrigue I don’t think she'll ever be truly calm, half border collie & half poodle (bordoodle).

Wow that sounds like a pure high energy mix! Perfect adventure dog 🙌🏼

You are so welcome! 🙏
