I found your channel looking for bothy videos and it's quickly become my favourite channel for hiking. No silly gimmicks, no adverts disguised as gear reviews or 'geartube' nonsense, just good hikes and commentary with some beautiful cinematography. Keep it up!

A ready scource for a metal mesh for holding in the tank material is the steel filter of a broken cafetiere. It works well. Old vaseline tins do the job of container quite well with the benefit of them being made of steel. The weight difference at that size is negligible.

Mittlerweile öfter im Einsatz gehabt? Wie ist die Atmungsfähigkeit, bzw. wie verhält es sich mit Kondensation?
@StripeyHatGuy
@StripeyHatGuy 10 күн бұрын
Hi, also habe das Bivy bis jetzt 6 mal benutzt. Kondensation ist deutlich besser als mit einem GoreTex Bivy aber noch ein Thema. Speziell wenn es windstill ist. Denke das es vernachlässigbar ist wenn man es nicht gerade in Schottland benutzt - haben hier eine super hohe Luftfeuchte.

@ ok das ist irgendwie erstaunlich. Das Argon Material scheint etwas zu können. Kann man sagen, dass es vermehrt, zu Kondensation im Fußbereich kommt? Wenn ja, könnte der Sleeping Bag Foot Bag von 3F UL Gear Abhilfe verschaffen. Nutze den im Helium Bivy.

Unfortunately these special places won’t be around for much longer as the network of communication spreads far and wide and people struggle to explore and enjoy without having to tell everyone about their great experience and ruin the voyage of discovery for all those that are destroying that experience with google maps and KZbin maybe did not name it but it’s pretty obvious where it is was their 30 years ago and now fear for its and others futures .. our Egos are our worst enemy.. long live the wild places that connect us to the past with all who have been there sepparated by time but connected by place……..

My 24 year old daughter does this on her own with a 30kg backpack No car just public transport from Edinburgh. She's been bottying multiple days, walking 15-20 km per day all over the Highlands and Cairngorms She studies antropologie and has written her dissertation about the bothy culture I envy her but love the adventures she shares with me

Thanks for this review. I have the Bonfus Iterus 38 and find it to be a top quality item. It's tough, durable and very comfortable and plenty big enough for me for a weekend on the hills. I have now also ordered the Saccus 48 to replace an Exped Lightening 45 (which I also highly recommend) for longer hikes. Like you, I found the Bonfus hip belt pockets too small and got larger ones from Treadlite Gear UK which are around the same price, a good bit larger, and extremely well made.

@@crivensjings thanks! Yeah bonfus is underrated imo. I wasn’t sure with the ultra material but so far no signs of wear and tear. Couldn’t be happier with the pack. Said this in summer I used a second hand zpacks Nero (robic version, got it for 42 pounds) and really like it for the warmer season, couldn’t find the Iterus 38 at this time anywhere near this price point which is sad for me but a good sign for bonfus 😅

Hmm. I was at Carron 6 months ago. I've been to over 100 bothies, and I've always found that Carron is the hardest to get to; you came in the easiest way, but I have to confess that I once got lost on that route. It is interesting that army engineers were involved in the renovation of that bothy and even they had problems.... in the comments there are references to the walk in from Loch Fyne (3 routes) Well, one goes through the "hidden realm" (bothy book) which is a 2 mile section of so called path through the forest which is more swamp than path: it connects to a forestry track but is very difficult to find if coming to the bothy. Or there is the direct route, which is navigationally challenging. I've never tried the Southern route; but even the first half mile from the bothy is like SAS selection! 😢

Many people are fooled by the phrase ' mad dogs and Englishmen under the midday sun.' It is the exact same problem in the Sahara...as the sun gets lower it gets hotter...the last hour of the day is normally spent playing ' bordel petanque ' or barefoot football.
