[@johnscrivy]

Great videos, Mr Cattys ,allways very amusing and informative and light-hearted, If you are giving autographs I would love one or two on blank cheques maaaate😂 remember I'm your top fan.

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Ha ha cheers John

[@joes_craft]

Love it matey and thanks for the mention! Great to you see your lightweight kit and looking forward to seeing how it fares on an overnighter. I need to get out and film some more, hopefully very soon. I really like that Guinness can windshield - made me smile every time it appeared in shot 🙂

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Cheers Joe no worries Yeah certainly going to test it on an overnight camp Yeah the Guinness shield works pretty well and you can legitimately drink a couple of beers to make one 😉

[@ChrisWoutdoors]

Very nice Des, I have my NI patrol pack so will set it up for a light camp... Cheers for the inspiration and see you for another camp soon Sugar Tats...lol

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Cheers Mate Yeah nice packs them

[@BourneOutside]

The more knowledge you have, the less you need to carry. I like this type of pack out. I now have much the same in my Karrimor SF 30lt Predator. Good combat skills in this video too, Des 😆👍🏼

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

It can push the boundaries on the skill level Combat skills 🤣🤣 Cheers mate 👍

[@BourneOutside]

@@descattysBushcraftbydescattys I have the Viper mesh on mine because I saw yours. It is a great addition 😉👍🏼

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

@BourneOutside yeah I remember you saying , yes certainly a great addition 👍 Cheers mate

[@badgerandthewoodsman]

Crouching Tiger hidden dragon 2 😂 I can never pack Lite the preparer in me won't allow it. always impressive to see such a small of gear. I guess you prove the British army wrong when they say "pack light don't sleep at night" thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

You're welcome mate I know it's not for everyone

[@Mugwumps107]

Ah i recognise those deadly moves there, the ancient Northern Mountain Martial Art of Ecky Thump. You may not have your traditional flat cap on your swede but ive little doubt you have a black puddin hidden about your person, deadly Sir Deadly 😉👍🏻 Great stuff Des, amazing how much kit you can get in a smaller pack given a little thought 👍🏻

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

🤣 brilliant, yeah ecky thump Yeah it's good fun and experimenting finding other suitable options Thank you

[@TheDavewatts]

Well packed out 😁👍🏻

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Not bad really cheers Dave

[@davidwignall55]

Great vid. lots to think about. Although if I'd come across you in the woods fighting no-one I'd have been more than a bit freaked :) - Cheers

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Thank you David Yeah was a sight to see 🤣

[@ryanjamesthewolf260]

Id like to leave a negative comment and say all this cuppa tea marlarky needs to stop get it out of your system by the end of the year lad give it the boot it deserves. LOVE this setup man, keeping it minimal is always enjoyable especially in these warmer months before all the heavy kit returns.

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Hi Ryan The tea war is just banter 👍 Thank you

[@barneysbimbles]

Nice one Des. Am definitely wanting to do something similar and this was good inspiration. Maybe a minimalist winter camp on the cards 👍

[@ryanjamesthewolf260]

When you say minimalist is that only 4 tea bags on a overnighter 😂

[@barneysbimbles]

@@ryanjamesthewolf260 lol taking minimalist to the extreme! 😂

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Yeah mate we spoke about it a while back Might be a handy one when your on the bike maybe

[@stephencarroll8537]

Awesome video...I've got my pack down to 20 lbs, that's with 64oz of water

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Ahh interesting I'll take a look Thank you

[@paddor]

So many bags. I stuff everything directly into backpack and side pouch.

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Not for me thanks

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

Alright Des, just a little tip bud, your net basha bag, having the zip as you have it could get caught in a branch and be pulled undone possibly resulting in loss of tarp 🤔

[@LundysWildcampBushcraft]

Nice little setup Des but i would have to have my roll mate to sleep on I've not done a lightweight camp for ages this might inspire me to do it atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Cheers Jimmy thanks for stopping by, yeah the matt is on going process 👍

[@jamessbetts2218]

Great vid Des ,Good little Snatch bag to get you to woods?extra if weather is bad. Like Frank sang??you,ll do it your way Yes aplastic cup please

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Cheers James 😉

[@deanpricepestboss]

Nice one Des. Amazing what kit you can downsize too 👌🏼👌🏼🙏

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Cheers Dean Yeah makes you wonder hey ? Certainly going to try it out a bit more

[@GavTatu]

Sleep system... for the warmer months, i use a light up to the waist bag, and my thin insulated jacket, which I'd take anyway, for a cooler evening, inside a bivi bag if necc.

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Oh not bad idea And that works OK for you ?

[@GavTatu]

@descattysBushcraftbydescattys for the warmer months, yeah. For colder, just the same, just higher rated bag and jacket. I had an old doss bag I cut in half and stitched up, with a draw cord.... saves half the weight and size.

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

@GavTatu excellent thank you

[@jaffcat]

Excellent video Des. I’m constantly reducing weight due to knackered knees. What bivi and sleeping bag are you including and what sort of temp is it comfortable for. Thanks in anticipation

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Thank you The bivi bag is just a cheap generic one from mountain warehouse, though I may change it and use the sf bivi bag from snugpak, the sleeping bag is just a throw over quilt that was an old sleeping bag 👍

[@PreparedPathfinder]

Try some black tape on your mug to stop you burning your lips mate. 👍

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Na I don't like that mate I think I'll be adding the cup me thinks 🤔 Cheers mate

Nice load out Des. Did you get the brown pouches from David?

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

Thank you. No I made them myself 👍

@@descattysBushcraftbydescattys They would probably sell well at your Etsy store. Very well made.

Oscar I thought you Brits got BAFTAs …Sawyer is always a good add and you can take the extra weight of a folding plastic cup…don’t want to burn your acting lips. Have fun stay safe.

Oscar , baftas I'll take it all 🤣 Cheers mate

Des what do you think the best single tented bivi value for money is ?

[@descattysBushcraftbydescattys]

No idea mate Think it's down to the users choice
