Watched from a cold kinder scout Andy. Plenty of smiles on show there despite some challenging conditions. A great bunch of people. I hadn’t realised you’d filmed to much so great to see from another perspective. Look forward to catching up again soon mate

Great video Andy and an enjoyable watch.🙂 Thanks for the video mate.👍

Hi! Do you have any videos on how to put it into the lightweight compression sack? Thanks!

In your opinion would you use this bag down to 1 degree celcius?

Our Christmas holiday walk in the 80s was. Train Sheffield to Hope, over to Hope Cross and back down by Ladybower and on to Bamford to get a train back to Sheffield. Did it in deep snow once.

I once stood above Goredale looking at the view and I remember thinking, “this is all mine”, well, for that moment. Janet’s Foss is magical. My wife and I walked from Settle to Malham, then onto Grassington and along the river Wharfe to Ilkley one August bank holiday 40 years ago. Lovely memories of a three day walk. We spent many holidays with our kids camping in the Dales and Peak District. Now, 78 yrs old, it takes me all my time to walk to the shops. Enjoy your youth, and your knees, while it lasts.

Whats the lining/insulation in these bags? Thanks

@AndyWragg did you do a follow up? I know a lot can happen in 6 years especially considering the last 4. I was thinking of building this and was hoping to find some good tests. A few things I've learned. feed line wants a 1 to 1 signal, might locate the tunner at the base of the antenna This antenna isn't a harmonic on any amature radio frequencies. I was thinking of making mine longer. I'll keep looking but wanted to share these two tib bits with you. de ki7cia

I always wounded how you could repair this in the field I always thought to fit a new zip you need a sewing machine

Use this in summer here in the uk and it's great

Nice one Andy, I camped at Margery Stones last week... love my Hendo's too. Loads of room in that tent compared to my Helm Compact 1.

Right on your doorstep and what fantastic weather Andy!👍 A brilliant camp and a good watch mate.🙂

Looked fantastic, so lucky to have that so close to your house though!

I too have looked all over for a review of the Lowe Alpine Khumbu, so its nice to see this. I've had mine for 13 years and its gone around the world with me. Phenomenally durable and easy to navigate with. The only deterioration that occurred was some of the zip pullers broke, but i was fortunate to find a random baggage repair shop where he simply put in new zip pullers for almost free shockingly. I told him i was thinking of buying a new backpack if I couldn't get the pullers, and he just said they don't make such sturdy backpacks of this quality unless you are wiling to pay a bomb. I paid about EUR 230 for it back then. 1 clasp was broken and was also easily replaced. I've never wanted to use any of the traditional suitcases for traveling, and i mostly never used it for hiking anyway. It's a great bag. Let me try to upload a pic of it.

Good call Andy. Although it's never happened to me (& I hope that it never does), it's good that you've made people aware of the possibility.👍

Looking forward to seeing the video. Steve.

Look out for the Northern Lights.

Nice video Andy, it's good to know that you've recovered from your DIY mishap mate.👍 That campsite looked great. You're allowed fires with no chance of being moved on.🙂 It was good to see your Kelly Kettle, I have the similar British made Ghillie Kettle (I think that it's a 500ml capacity). What I like about it, is that it came with a cross stand for the top of the chimney (useful if you're using a spirit burner and don't need to feed wood in from the top), so as well as boiling the water in the jacket, you can stick a pan on top for boiling some more at the same time, or as I've used it in the past, to cook my grub in a pan on top of it whilst having boiling water in the jacket for an accompanying brew. Even though your Ale wasn't 7.3🙂, those are still good beers which you mentioned. Also, that beef sizzling in the pan looked awesome mate, with the finished stew looking mighty tasty. This was another top bit of viewing Andy and relaxing to watch.👍

how much per night doz it cost

I bought the whole sleeping system. Then I saw how huge the Medium weight bag is. No wonder soldiers need am 85ltr Bergen. It really is impractical for long hikes (unless you're in the army of course). The plus side is that it is proper toasty warm.

Now a favourite place of mine too!

You did actually say 14 meters ..

Smashing stuff Andy. Totally get it, I nearly collapsed going up Cavedale a while back. So unfit! had a bad back and feet for ages after that

Nice vid Andy.... Enjoyed watching your trip 👍

And what a day it was Andy! Love Mr Robin ❤the plug holes terrify me but I live them too 😅lovely video. Thanks for putting it all together for us. ATB, Sarah

Such a beautiful scenery, opening shots are so alluring! Love it 👏👏

Nice to see you at the "secret" camping location Andy. I was there a few weeks back (video coming soon) and saw your comment in the book. Is a lovely little spot with a great view of Sheffield. Shame about the weather you encountered though. I was actually up on Kinder that night, like you hoping to see some fireworks...that didn't happen. I've dropped you a sub mate. 👍

Great walk Andy 👌🏻 good on ya for getting out despite your cold. What are you filming on? Your footage is mint even though you’d no 🎤 my favourite side of kinder scout. I’m up there on Monday for a hike with a mate. Can’t wait 😅 Ps I’ve also got that buzz light year Rab jumper ha ha! Get well soon Mrs Wragg ❤️‍🩹BW, Sarah

A cracking walk Andy, the northern edge of Kinder is ace. Less people and more wild and rugged. I think that you made the right decision with not doing the 7 min crossing, not only because of time restraints, but after all the rain of recent, it'll be a swamp-fest. Sorry to hear about Jackie mate, here's wishing that she gets well soon. Your route in and out was a steep one mate, it would have taken me ages with lots of breather stops. Also, well done mate for crossing that stream at the end.🙂 There was some great footage in that Andy, especially those panoramic views.👍

I have the Medium and the large size in these bags, I am 5ft 7in and 80 kilo, the Medium size bag is the right length for me but as for the width, around my hip area the bag is tight not much room for me let alone getting any kit in side with me, the Large bag however is long but the inside size for me is much better for movement, apart from the hood, the hood is a little to big. My feelings are they get this wrong and should of made a small, medium, large size and the Medium should of been made a little wider as you would struggle with your SA80 A2 in there. These bags are made for quick exit, so you just rip the zipper open hence the repair zipper supplied with some NOT all.

Nice build! Now build a "Cloud warmer" for NVIS... 😊

your poor mentor is at home isolating and your bothering him for radio checks ... why dont you just call him on mobile ,, and you can do it from home ..think of the enviroment you drove 5 miles for nothing

Full credit to your mate willing to do a bit of hiking and wild camping after having a heart attack. I would be really scared to put any pressure at all on my heart after that.

Excellent video , new subscriber.

Hope you’re feeling better now mate 💪🏻

That’s bleak

I work on towers. I can tell that wind is ripping!

Stop spamming 🤮

Merry Christmas Andy 💪🏻

gonna make it a little mission to find this book and put a comment in, great video and hope you feel 100% soon !

Have a good one Andy

Top video Andy. I enjoyed that mate. All the festive best to you and yours mate.👍

Enjoyed that , new sub here👍🏕

Ey up Andy 🙌🏻good man, mentioning respecting the site and the etiquette, I think that’s important ☺️ weather looked a bit rubbish, just back down from kinder, warmed myself in front of the fire with hot mulled wine in the Ramblers, looking ugly up there tomorrow, I’m also unlikely to make another video now due to family and work commitments and the wind and rain up there today was ferocious…50 mph constant on ringing Rodger…what a blast we had thought! Nice little vid that’s Andy, Merry Christmas to you and your Family, see ya in 2024 🎄🎁⛺️✨ATB, Sarah

Just for the record - those resistors cannot dissipate the rated wattage without being attached to a large heat sink.

That sums things up nicely!

Nice hike. Thanks for sharing

great set up on the hammock from the 2020 footage, really has made want to learn how to do a proper set up like that. I need a day learning knot so i can use my tarp and hammock alot more. brilliant video.
