Yes mate cracking video as always! Unreal scenes! Even without being able to use the drone 👀 🙈 Ide be sick! Chinook looks a beauty, 1+ interior looks huge over the 1! Also, the quilt looks impressive, seen a few using that system recently, proper home vibes haha. Keep them coming mate, ATB 👌🏼

I know yeh man was a beauty of a sunset. Wish I'd of put a time lapse going instead of messing about with the drone. Ah well. Aye mate the 1 plus inner is massive man but I am concerned in windy conditions the outer and inner will touch at some point. There's a little mod I Wana do to the tent to try prevent that happening. Oh mate the zen bivvy is so good compared to a sleeping bag but there just so expensive. Thanks for watching and supporting 👊

Nice one mate. What day of the week and time did you get there? Wondering about the parking. Unusual for January. I think you should try the pronunciations, you're good at them later on in the video. And it's good fun to try them, especially when it's cold weather. Ha. Love this weather mate, I like the morning fog but yeah shame about the drone, although maybe it let you enjoy it more with your eyeballs than you would have done otherwise. And if it makes you feel any better, I've forgotten my drone memory card before! Tent looks decent, I like that extra space idea that rolls back for cooking. Great idea. Do you have a link for the thermometer you use?

Happy New Year R Kid 😉 That Zen Bivvy looks like a decent bit of warm kit, what do you sleep in clothes wise because i only wear a base layer and i think thats why i prefer a bag because i always feel a draft when i have tried a quilt. and i cant figure out why i get on with a quilt at home but not in a tent 🤔Also i am wondering whats the coldest you have used your 450 Cumulus quilt down too ? Seeing your Franky with his huge Began on brings back memories, what Regiment is he in and how long has he been in so far ?
@iamchriswhelanАй бұрын
Happy new year to you to Olan and thanks for your support this year and tips. I sleep just in my boxers and a t shirt most of the time. I only got a draft when moving in the cumulus but with the way the zen bivvy connects to the bed sheet that has eliminated it. I've used the cumulus quilt down to -3 in Scotland one time and was ok to be fair. I bet it does bring back memories man. Am not sure what regiment he's in. He's only 17 so not fully in yet, he's at like an army college in Yorkshire doing training at the moment and he's been there around 10 months I think.
@Olan...Ай бұрын
@@iamchriswhelan Its been an absolute pleasure watching your vids Chris so Thank You 👌. I havent checked out that Zen Bivy properly yet but i am going to. I was only asking about the 450 Cumulus because i managed to buy a Panyam 450 off eBay for £150 in mint condition and after washing it and weighing it it looks on par with my Panyam 650 which can be too warm if its not well below zero and i am down to wearing base layers. I bet your Frankys fitness level is pretty good after 10 months at the Depot then . Back in my day if you wasnt going to turn 18 after 6 months training and old enough to join a Regiment it used to be called Junior leaders which wasnt quite as brutal on the physical side but they focused a lot on weapon systems and tactics and map reading and still spent a lot of time in the gym etc. Bought myself a DJI Osmo action 5 and a Mic for a Christmas pressie but its traumatised me so far ...i am not exagerating in the slightest when i say i could rip out a kitchen and fit a new one in lesser time than i have invested in these gadgets to achieve sod all 🙃 Off for 10 days now so going to get out in the snow and probably end up Erming and Arring my way through a edit free video on my new mobile phone explaining why i just bought myself number 4 Hillyberg Soulo unless a miracle happens and i recover from IT induced trauma 🤔 Any tips for any channels that are good for walking an IT retard through the whole process of getting video footage off the Osmo and into a one piece video ????
@iamchriswhelanАй бұрын
@Olan... Means alot man. Yeh defo check out the zen bivvy. I've got the ultralight setup. Ah right, I do love the cumulus but it's not good when you start getting passed 0 degrees. Sure Franky mentioned summet about the Grenadiers!? But am not 100%. I know he's been doing alot of like battle camps and stuff. Brilliant that you've bought that camera, I've got the same one. Great piece of kit. Just search on KZbin the camera name and settings and am sure there will be loads of videos. Need to know more on it just WhatsApp me man. I'll video some stuff for you if you want explaining things. Number 4 Soulo wow haha. I'm considering selling mine coz I don't use it anymore.
