My Packing List for Walking the Ireland Way

[@DerekCullenOutdoors]

It's been brilliant to see so many comments on my KZbin videos these past two months. Thank you so much for these kind and interesting comments as they really do help my channel grow and this will also encourage me to post videos every single day on my upcoming walk through Ireland! Full packing list here ►derekcullen.com/packing-list-for-the-ireland-way/

Awww pine martins as housemates 🥰 love the AGA. Looking forward to your walk

[@lifewithglee]

I only came across you today on facebook. Love the videos. I'm not really a walker, gives me back ache and sore feet. I'm motorcycling South America so well into the wild-camping. i think the advantage to walking here would be the saving of pointless border documents for the bike, although the distances are huge. Seen some cyclists along the way along with a guy pushing a trolley. You're a much better v-logger than I am. Keep up the good work, it keeps me sane while locked down in Argentina.

[@decels]

Stunning views for your first day. Best of luck for the next few weeks.

[@stephenwmccullough]

Best of luck man! Epicness awaits

[@nikkiglasgow6197]

Glad to be getting back out again

[@andygerety5591]

Wu hoo, was waiting for this ✌️ I might see you on the trail, I'll be walking the opposite direction

[@LomanB]

Never really considered your perspective that would the comments, feedback and likes etc. that you might end up feeling like you're "talking to a camera in a field" - Brilliant! Love it. I was kind of thinking that you don't really have the time to be reading all the comments - Love your videos Derek but that is largely because you are a very skilled storyteller and filmmaker - Thank you

[@DerekCullenOutdoors]

Thank you very much for the lovely compliment 🙏

[@andrewcolley2460]

Really looking forward to vicariously enjoying your hike, Derek! Is there anything more satisfying then neatly laying out your gear before packing? My OCD approves!

[@terryglavin459]

Wishing you a safe and rewarding journey, Derek. Looking forward to following you around again.

Looking forward to following your travels again Derek, what is the title of the book you mentioned plz? atb amigo, Paul.

[@AMan-zt8tz]

Yes looking forward to the videos, I'm just about ready to take the first step and I will watch and learn for a little while. Very best of luck!

[@DerekCullenOutdoors]

A Man, great to hear this and I will talk about it in the videos at some point (getting started) :)

[@saolairde396]

I’ve bats in my porch roof, maybe they’ll hook up with your pine martins 😂

[@JRBOOLERS]

Your gear looks great 👍 very light and compact for length of your trip. I always bring too much stuff when I go camping, I'm always trying to reduce the size and weight of my gear😅 you should look into the soft water filter bottles. The brand Lifestraw make one as far as I know, mine is made by Katadyn, its 1ltr. They're great, I swear by mine, not the cheapest though, about 40 quid, but well worth it. Looking forward to your videos on the trip. Hope you have a great time 👍😊

[@DerekCullenOutdoors]

Thanks for the tip and this is a great idea. I haven't looked at this yet due to the price to be honest but will likely invest in the near future because they look really good and useful ! Cheers JR

[@cliffterpher]

Looking forward to seeing your trip. Keep it up Derek! We'll be following your adventures over the next few weeks. Good luck.

[@DerekCullenOutdoors]

Brilliant Cliff. Thanks for being here and hope you enjoy the videos :)

[@deancollins1]

Happy days

[@jimmycorrigan4009]

havent herd from you derek for awhile hope your keeping ok

[@Karen-dq8nw]

you'll probably not see this since your video is a few years old. Wondering if the waterproof shoes are really needed; don't your feet get wet anyway? And then the waterproof shoes never dry out. I'm thinking of taking just trail runners that dry quickly for Ireland. Love your videos!

[@matthewschutz8949]

Looking forward to your adventure actually can't wait to see all the upcoming vids! currently living in mexico and dreaming of camping in Ireland again soon so really excited to see your journey. What I like about this trip is the thought of needing to camp every night. Best of luck Derek I'll be following closely

[@DerekCullenOutdoors]

Mexico, no way -I envy your weather right now! Thanks Matthew - great to have you watching :)

[@jackiedives]

Thanks Derek! I'm doing the Ireland Way this summer. Flying in from Canada and wondering if you know where I could pick up fuel for my stove. Somewhere in Cork? I'm going South to West. Thanks!!

best of luck on the trip, is the store out of stock? was going to grab a couple of bits

Good luck with the walk. I'm not sure if you mentioned but what's the cumulative amount in weight you will be carrying?. Also are you camping the whole time or are/would you take up the odd offer of accomodation in someones house on the route?.
