Great R value for the price, I may consider this. Currently using foam mattress but winter is coming.

Totally brilliant. That was a hard day. We did well indeed. Lovely video record of the day. Cheers. Warren ❤

Thats not bad weather "thats normal" 😂 For anyone who wants to know, high willhays is not very far from civilization, it look worse than what it is, so many people walk there and back from Okehampton in tee shirts/shorts and trainers "i don't suggest you do that" as obviously the weather changes very quickly on Dartmoor but there is a military road and path almost all the way so not as difficult as many people make it out to be. From Okehampton railway station its about 1:45hr to 2:15hr walk one way so not too bad, its a bit of a climb but it's steady until the last bit.

Great to see a video with some real tent action! How would you say the 3 season full mesh inner fabric handles wind, does it let a lot through or does it block some? Was in windy inside your tent, that is? :D

Great video and a great team. Real tough time but you did it and what a welcome relief that cabin, take away & beer was. Good how you keep each other's moral up. Looking forward to the third chapter.👏👏

Robens brilliant make , I have the starlight 1 had it few years , all weather's all seasons solid tent . I've been looking at treating myself .

I read the comment from someone else that this hike is no joke and couldn’t agree more. Keep the hike episodes coming 🍺

Looking forward to this series; going to be an epic trip

Walking in rain can be soul destroying at times, good effort so far. Looking forward to the next episode.

G'day Dan, Warren, even with the good kit, you likely end up wet over that period of time ....... yep, .... minor detail Warren ; ) Good to hear Muddy Paws and Wild Camper,...... you know, ... your "mates" .... are so "supportive" ...... I wouldn't expect anything less ; ) I'd say the sheep turned out to be a blessing in disguise, ....... a lamb curry, pehraps an Indian Pale Ale, by chance ; ) Anyway, .... and seriously, "Keep your pecker up" fellas !!!!!!! Cheers Duke

Who was on the top bunk? 🤫🍄

Great video! Looks like the curry and beer went down a treat after that day. Thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to Part III…

Awesome dude, cabin was a good idea!

That looked hard. Looking forward to part 3!

You lads are doing so well and are a good team!!! Fair play to you both

Dan @CampLifeBushcraft, bloody good effort mate ! That looked pretty gruelling but good ground covered (especially Butser and QE Park) and a well deserved reward buddy 👍

Looks like you now have some experience of what an infantryman endures on the march. Weather, aches and pains. Loving this series Dan! And Warren!

Enjoyed the video, not sure about the trench might be a water trap if the rain was heavy enough?

I really hope that you finish this. It's so much more of a challenge when you're not someone who walks these distances regularly. The pain is pretty bad doesn't it. I'm walking an ultra challenge from Eastbourne to Arundel in 2wks 100km. I'm not fit and kind of dreading it lol the only solace is that I completed the IOW 106km a couple of years ago. I need to see you complete this to get me inspired buddy.

No poncho?😮

Hello,met you two near Eastbourne last week my name is James loving the vlogs, I know exactly how you feel been there, next time bring compeed as soon as you get a blister hotspot apply, you probably know this but it works a treat for me, hope you enjoyed your beer at the beachy head pub, onwards and upwards keep walking all the best James👍

Pack is getting smaller this summer.👍

Filing toe nail with a stone set my teeth on edge but very sensible. A good mix of facts and humour. Good thinking to plan the miles in between pit stops, kept your peckers up. Well done both of you. You can do anything if you really want to ❤ Ps. Cabin was a God send plus takeaway. Well earned

I think you mean Halnaker, there is a lovely tree tunnel on the way up to the windmill. Have fun.

This was gorgeous presentation my friend, fantastic episode! Forest looks and sounds so enjoyable and enchanting! 🏔️🏔️

#StiffAndSore 😂

Indian take-away, beer and blisters...excellent! After a grueling hike in wet conditions, I'm sure the small cabin was a welcome gift. 100 miles is no joke bro, lots of things can go wrong or right and many considerations moving forward. Take care of those blisters, thanks for this leg of the journey. See ya for the next one.

Well done guys absolutely brilliant 👏

Good effort guys 👍👍

Awesome

I am some few years behind, but I have just bought myself the Intext K2 Kayak - 2-Seater and I cannot wait to take it out in our Australian waters this coming Spring/Summer (20/08/2024). Thank you for sharing your review, it gave vital information and on how to set it up. I am looking forward to a lot of paddling for peace and tranquility, and for my mental health.

G'day Dan, Warren, ..... 100 miles to do, ........ that'd only be a coupla hours at worst by vehicle. "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" comes to mind ; ) Only jok'n of course ...... you're a better man, (men), than I am Gunga Din 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Cheers Duke.

Just picked one up at the car boot sale for a fiver! Brand new, never used. Couldn't understand why the stuff sack was big enough for two of them...this became apparent on deflation and rolling it back up...now it fits back in perfectly. Much bulkier than the UL80 but if you've got the space then those side panels mean you don't roll off, the pillow is well handy and it's oh, so quiet when you turn over. I did a stopwatch of 3min33secs and 101 pumps of the foot. Great for side & back sleeping.

Coffee! isnt that sacrilegous?

Awesome simple outdoor snack - thanks a stack 😊

Got mine few years ago. Loving it. Going to Kaldoaivi on october and taking it with me. If you are wondering to buy it ir not, i can recommend to get it.

Who was the third person camera (wo)man around the approach to Old WInchester hill ? Almost literally on my doorstep, I can't wait for the next episode as within the first hour you will be passing one of my regular camping spots just North of Clanfield before you reach the Butser area, where I know you've camped previously. Good luck for stage #2 and beyond fellas.

Stunning episode guys, fantastic and inspiring first day! Happy trails 🥾

The weird "Messner" hand of nothingness 😂😂 #OnAStickButAWeirdHand

love it when the boys are out.

Brilliant video I've never been but will soon. Camping by the trig. Awesome👌

James told me you two were doing it - after all your trepidation you did it . Well done 👍 it’s actually surprising what we are capable of with a positive mental attitude. I”ll bet you are well chuffed with yourself? Great to have someone like Warren to guide you - he looks like he’s done a fair bit before 😂 now all I’ve gotta do is convince that Mr Sussex Outdoors that he does actually want to do the SDW 😂

Looking forward to part 2! That is a serious challenge. That bar/cabin was probably a sight for sore eyes.

#hamandcheesetoastie

Well done both you on your first day. Sleep tight, another day tomorrow.

the only dislike was from a cow.

Great start to your long walk and what a result beer food and accommodation it's a win win Dan looking forward to part 2 atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

Fantastic record of our first day. And more to enjoy mate. Cheers, Warren :)

What rucksack is that, Dan? Looks good and comfortable.
