Camping in a quarry - GIVEAWAY & Atom Packs Backpack REVIEW

In this video I head out wild camping in the Peak District with @Andrew Beavers. After battling the wind and rain, we pitch up in an old abandoned quarry where the cliff shelters us from the wind. This video contains cooking a steak dinner, a review of the Atom Packs Mo EP50 backpack that has 2 perspectives, a giveaway.... and of course....it rains.

I'd be over the moon if you could please vote for me in The TGO Reader's Awards. Here's the link www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/TGvote22/ I owe you one 🍺🍺. Thank you. Paul & Jo

[@feel.the.need.]

Already done, using every email address I have 🤣

[@dudeymcduderson]

Already done. Fingers crossed for you!

[@ChrisJohnson-qm2qu]

Easy choice of vote Paul👍🏻

[@ACE19688]

Done and good luck

[@chunks1965]

Done last week, love the videos full of great content and i have learned loads

[@paulkeeley1905]

A lot of youtubers are going ultralight these days. Its nice to see a man who clearly enjoys the luxuries in life and brings a tablecloth. You can't teach class like that!

[@johnpowell9174]

Yes, I’ve damaged my table surface using exactly the same setup!

[@smashy152]

Ultralight is pointless for hiking a few mile into a fell/peak to camp overnight thats basically car camping with a few miles walk you may aswell enjoy all the comforts. Makes sense when you're living on a trail for 4-6 months and trying to get as many miles in as you can a day.

[@GameDevAcademy]

I'd love the waistpack. I've voted for you too Paul. Keep being awesome

[@robthompson8143]

Great to see you guys doing a joint review, more of those please. And have of course submitted a vote for you Paul, wishing you best of luck. Either way you continue to inspire others and provide superb content (as does Andy).

[@white_rose_alex]

Another enjoyable video Paul, that looked like a great spot for a camp. That weather looked like typical Peak District conditions but good to see it didn't put either of you off getting out. The Atom pack looked like a great piece of kit. Very roomy and the roo waist pack looks very handy. So much easier to get things out of when out walking then having to constantly take your rucksack off. PS: just voted for you in the TGO awards. Good luck.

[@thesurreyweddingdj6432]

Roo waistpack, I love watching you guys. Simple, honest reviews of location, kit and experience each and every time. Thank you Paul and Andy

[@andrewmoore1136]

well deserved nomination, Paul! your channel and videos are a breath of fresh air (pun intended!), you show that "normal" folk can get out there and have genuine adventures whilst also being honest in that things don't always go to a perfect plan up in the hills! you get my vote, sir.

[@nick_serg7961]

Thank you for so georges fresh vews and warm atmosphere. I use waist pack from deuter, but it become too little for me now. So I have to look some more capacious. Roo waistpack looks suitable. All the best and good luck!

[@chewchewtactical8566]

The Roo looks great! Thanks for the vids, they've given me some great inspiration and advice as an absolute novice. Just come back from two nights in the Cairngorms with experienced mates and competed Davils Point, Cairn Toul, Angels Point and Braeriach! Looking for kit for the next adventure. Planning on doing Cullin Ridge and the inaccessible pinnacle next year 😬

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

I will give you a vote. You are good at showing what kit you use, and why. Also, you show great view of the scenery. Usually...when not foggy.

[@jamesdwyer7198]

I'll be looking into the Atom pack now as I've used you're recommendations when I was trying to decide what tent I wanted to buy when it was time to get a "proper" tent. I found your video from a few years ago where you spoke about which tent you would have if you could only have 1. I couldn't justify the £700 for the solo but the Helm 1 was perfect and it's been an incredible investment. Since then I've held your opinion very high with regards to gear as I find you are an incredibly honest bloke with the fans best interest at heart. Thanks for all your hard work. Roo Waist pack

[@thinkeazy]

Rop waistpack looks absolutely great. I´ve been admiring it from afar for a while now. Your review sums up all the things I love about it.

[@johnthorstensson6617]

Nice review if the pack. The Atom Packs has been on my radar for a while. Started to use a bum bag a couple of years ago when hiking since my pack do not have any pockets on the waist strap. The Roo waistpack looks great with a lot of space for snacks and camera gear.

[@grahamhaines9931]

Well done on the nomination. I think you do more than just boil water Paul! From your videos I can see in detail how you use things eg the tent, so there is lots of visual information available to viewers. This helps to inform us about bits of kit, before we commit to buying. Good luck with the TGO nomination and thanks for sharing.

[@gazlarc1158]

Congratulations on the TGO nomination Paul, very well deserved! Looks like a great pack, not one for us occasional wild campers but definitely a great bit of kit for you serious folk! Roo waist pack, what the hell! 🤣

[@queensammydala]

Paul - as always love the videos. You and Andy make this kind of thing so accessible to people like me! I've been drooling over these bags, I'm currently saving up for an Atom 40l with a Roo Waistpack!

[@jonathanfarrell]

Roo waist pack looks like a good addition to a regular back pack. Easier to get hold of snacks, hat, gloves, phone sunglasses etc on the move without stopping and taking your pack off. Nice video!

[@herecomesthemonster]

Roo waist pack looks a decent bit of kit. Thanks for reviewing. Keep up the good work!

[@davebirds5667]

Congratulations Paul on your nomination 👍 Love watching videos of you two, you seem good friends & have a great chemistry together. Loving the Roo waistpack too, on my wish list.

[@leedobson9740]

Another great video Paul. I’m finding that I click on the like button automatically before I’ve even watched it 😂. Really like the look of the Atom packs as such a versatile rucksack and the Roo waist packs look great too. You’ve certainly got my vote on TGO as you were the one that inspired me to get into wild camping in the first place. Keep up the great work mate

[@Crazy8xxx]

Roo waist pack. Thanks to you both for another camping vid. Never thought of bringing a micro fibre cloth to dry the tent in the morning.

[@jules8a535]

Love to watch your outings with Andy. This is a great Atom review. Roo waistpack looks very useful. Keep at it!

[@kikiquiet1940]

Love it when you cook a proper meal makes it look like a holiday and something special. Good honest review again on the backpack. Roo waist pack looks like a handy bit of kit especially for snacks!

[@fraserevans3237]

Roo waist pack. Thanks for that insite and review I'll be saving for a new pack as my osprey after 2 years is suffering holding up but I love the bottle feature I've always thought that would be an amazing option. Now seeing these I know what I'm upgrading to.

[@hiking4510]

Another fantastic video! I have been trying to decide between the Atom+ and The Mo and this video has swung it for the Mo. I think a Roo waistpack is a must as well! Just voted for you in the TGO as well - keep up the great work!

[@arransutherland]

Well deserved on the nomination 👍 I’ve been tempted by an Atom for a few months, may have to pull the trigger after Christmas. Roo waist pack looks useful too 👍

[@gud2go50]

Great video! You really have some nice gear. I can't afford the pack or your tent, but I have a decent pack already and I use my DD Tarp on my limited trips. If I backpacked as much as you guys do, I would save and invest in gear like yours. Thanks for showing your kit while out camping. I watch TGR who seems to be a fan of yours as well. What I like about all 3 of you guys is that you always seem to have a good attitude even when the weather is not so good. Kind regards.😊

[@PeteDavisYates]

Another good pitch and great video. Great reviews of the Mo. I'm sure the team at Atom packs will be very pleased with the positive review from you both. Roo Waistepack

[@jamierobertson3078]

The Roo waist pack looks great. I've been looking at Atom packs for a few months and The Mo will definitely be my next purchase. Thanks for the great review Paul

[@dancinghiker5779]

You was the 1st wild camper I watched , learnt how to put up 3x3 ddtarp . In the beginning. Loved , helped me with my adventures over the years thank you 😊 have my vote .

[@life-outdoors]

Great collaboration again. Good luck with the TGO Awards, you deserve the nomination. Roo Waistpack.

[@melbrynjones180]

Nice video Paul, congratulations on the award, always a pleasure watching you on your channel, have learnt and definitely saved money by taking on board your advice, the rucksack is a cracker and the Roo bag certainly is a nice piece of kit that would go with anybody’s equipment keep the videos coming and the advice look forward to watching the next adventure 👍

[@quaternarybeast1436]

Roo waist pack is definitely a thing to consider as it is great for all my bits and bobs that need to be at hand during the hiking. Thank you Paul and Andy 😊

[@gavineivers]

Roo Waistpack - I saw your video with the Atom Pack a couple of months ago and managed to save up for it. Just tested it out on a 2 day, 50 mile hike and it was awesome, quite pricey but as you say, it's so comfy and versatile, it can replace a couple of packs so worth it I reckon. Congratulations on the TGO nomination, I'll vote now

[@larrysheedy4293]

Feeling pretty good when I picked up the fold out table before seeing you with the same. “Almost” now I feel like I’m getting up to speed w my gear. Take care. Luv your videos n your ways of presentation.

[@jamesdoolan8040]

Roo Waistpack looks brilliant. I've been using a Vango something or other for a couple of years now, and could definitely do with an upgrade! Thank you for making these great videos :) Roo waistpack

[@johnoleary169]

Roo waist pack looks a great addition to my gear .great show love watching you two Andy has my style of talking .keep it up keep well J.D.Oleary

[@jodiejones4573]

Another great video Paul, pleasure to watch. Interested in the Roo waistpack, I currently use either my OMM o pouch or the Osprey Acheon chest pod.

[@theroadlesstravelled928]

Roo waistpack. Great video, Paul. Good to see you and Andrew out in the great outdoors again. Hoping myself to get out soon in my reliable Wild Country Hem Compact 1.

[@rotaaable]

Thank you for another great video and the review of this great pack. I'd love a Roo waistpack, which, added to my Atom, would be enough to room the gear to stay overnight.

[@johne947]

A nice little video Paul, you picked some nice weather mind. But that never puts you off from what I can make out, a true outdoor professional. You and Andy have made some good videos for the same walk and its always good to watch both. The Atom packs look like a good choice. So you and Andy say I need to say Atom packs, Roo waist pack.

[@wheredowego8317]

You have my vote mate , as a motorcyclist adventurer and not a hill walking ,hiker, mountain person 😂 I do enjoy your kit videos and your best off and worst off as kit is kit no matter how you get outdoors and your reviews have helped me choose a lot if not all my camping gear , thank you for that , I hope the awards go well for you my friend and we shall see you on the trail someday 👍

[@jamesharness1828]

Great video as always! Always picking up useful tips and tricks! Please don’t change!

[@JS2Tango]

The Roo Waistpack looks great! I own an Mo myself, fantastic bag! Used it on the TMB this summer was so comfortable!

[@LittleMo-wt3gj]

Roo waist pack!! Great video as always Paul, 30 minutes of peace & calm. The helm looks a good tent but can't wait for a video with the Durston I have one on order.

[@paulhicklin1318]

Roo waist pack - looks like a great bit of kit! Another great video.

[@samanthatideswell7456]

[@billstein3803]

[@lukec9585]

Good to see you back out in the Helm Compact! Been looking at the atom packs for a while now and really tempted buy one in the future…. Hopefully can get my hands on a Roo Waistpack. ATB

[@gregoryoutdoors]

I was thinking about that Roo Waist Pack for my multi day Scottish trail walks. Seems waterproof too which is a must in here plus could fit a decent size camera for pictures + snacks. Good luck with the competition.

[@charlienorth2323]

Great video, definitely going to look at the atom packs! The Roo waist pack looks awesome too 👍

[@LiamSharp-km6pv]

Roo waist pack - Your videos have provided me with a lot of inspiration for places to walk (and hopefully camp) when I relocate up to the Peaks early next year!

[@jockspice]

Great video. Currently in a quandary between the Helm compact 1 or 2, good to see you use it in this one.

[@MRBLAND1986]

Another great video mate and you've got my vote on TGO awards I'll look forward to trying the Roo waistpack myself finger's crossed 🤞🏻

[@terrypatterson1481]

[@elharvo2168]

Roo waistpack looks mega! Another great vid Paul

[@scottgephart9749]

Roo waistpack... I really enjoy watching your videos from over here in the states. The weather in many of your videos is quite extreme compared to my camping trips, which makes them all the more interesting. Thanks for sharing!

[@oshiforb7445]

Looks like a great rucksack I couldn't justify getting one of those, I'd love the Roo Waist Pack thanks for sharing the video with us.👍

[@foggy460]

It was a great pleasure to vote for you. Keep doing what you are doing and letting us come along.

[@stephenwharrior5835]

[@leslie1065]

Roo waistpack. Absolutely awesome kit. Thanks for the review, hoping to buy one in New year. 😃

[@DaveMadeOne]

Roo waist pack, Great video. You have given me some great ideas over the past few years on wild camping. I alway look forward to your next video. I don’t think I will try the plastic cooking table. Good luck in the competition.

[@gazdean4781]

Roo waist pack would be a great addition to my ever growing kit list. Thanks for giving me the chance to get my hands on one. Loving the great content you keep putting out on KZbin and good luck for the TGO award you've had my vote.

[@robmorris2883]

The Roo waist pack looks awesome and would be a great replacement for my worn OMM Pouch. Great video as usual Paul. 👌

[@jamesdack2003]

Roo waist packs look great, love to have one... Great vid Paul

[@overthehillwildcamper]

Hi Paul, I used the Helm Compact 1 on Monday night at Grisedale Tarn , it tossed it down and blew a Hooley most of the night and the tent was solid as rock and dry. Thanks for recommending it. Roo waist bag looks good.

[@donaldduck7268]

I’m gonna get into hiking. I love camping. The solitude in a cosy tent just feels great. Getting to know yourself. I’m excited about the prospect and I want gear that’ll last and be comfortable and useful. I love this review and other reviews of best camping and hiking gear. even if it’s a sponsored item. You talk with experience and knowledge. I appreciate this. Thanks.

[@ftb2772]

Great vid Paul! completed survey, thanks for highlighting. I wouldn’t have known and some other hiking brands included i added my vote too. ❤

[@ianrobinson9850]

Many thanks for the hard work put into these videos it’s inspirational for a newbie like me Roo waist pack looks a useful piece of kit, look forward to seeing more vids

[@simon_martin_photography]

Great reviews guys as always. The Roo waist pack would be great for that extra bit of room for items like camera equipment or drone equipment, that you need to hand without the faff of taking your pack off

[@ImNotHereEither]

[@wishdarkstalkaz4050]

Literally spoke to Dexter yesterday about a custom Mo60...getting ready to pull the trigger. Just wanted that extra room for specialist winter kit & carrying my Staika. Another strong video mate...top work.
