Does this OLD VINTAGE CAMPING GEAR work? | Trangia, Fjallraven Tent, Haglofs Backpack, Trapper Canoe

Vintage Camping Gear, how was the camping equipment in the good old days? Is the new super hi-tech outdoor gear the best or was the old camping gear even better?
I dressed up in the old retro clothing, packed an old Haglofs backpack with a vintage Fjallraven tent, my old caravan sleeping bag, a traditional foam isomat and my grandmothers old Trangia stove, and the same food as she served me in my childhood trips?
In this video I’ll bring you along down the memory lane on a tour where I almost only used my old camping gear. I took our old Toyota bus from 1988, our Trapper Canoe from 1970 and headed out in to the wild and felt the smell and taste from the old days.

You just made an old man very happy. I still pull out my old gear and use it all that nostalgia, old memories and friends that have gone. Keep making memories with the old and the new and thank you.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

[@Globetrotter-1]

@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA It was indeed a lovely video to watch...and each mention of an old item triggered a kaleidoscope of memories of my own. My whole life has been spent travelling and exploring the wilds...and even now, at 65 (next week) I'm still living almost 24/7 outdoors. It was a pity about the problem discovered due to the lack of sound, because I'm sure we would have all enjoyed watching those same video clips and listening 🎧 to your overdubbed or narrative added at a later stage during the post editing.

[@tomsitzman3952]

As an old canoer and Kayaker. I always taught those new to the water to always float your boat before getting. With one end on the shore the canoe can tip over as your are getting in. I'm still using a lot of my equipment form the late 60's. My old tents are long worn out, but I did find a North Face three person 8 sided tent in the corner of the shelf from the early 80's and it is going back in use. Still using my Swedish Seva 123 stove and a little larger Optimus 00. for power output stoves you can't beat pressurized Kerosene. And my Swiss Sigg nesting pots and fuel bottles and tea pot it is still going strong after 55 years. Flashlights/ torch where so inferior to the new solar LED lights. The good old Jungle Juice. The little plastic bottle said to use one bottle on your skin and a second bottle on your clothing. I still have one from 1975 unopen just to help me remember how toxic it was. Still using my French Opinel folding thin blade kitchen knives. still wearing Swedish Fish Net underwear. And still prefer it to the poly pro stuff. My old Anorak full length to the top of my shoes. It shortened to hip length by folding in half. If you got caught in a storm you could bend your knees and sleep in it. I have worn ot may wind breakers over the years. My favorite wool sweater has a patch on the elbow. i still wear it to out for a beer with friends as well as on the trail. Today for me the trail is bike touring. my body joints have been replaced with titanium. But I keep moving because that is what I have to do.

Thank you for this video and the nostalgia tour of back country camping. I had some of the same equipment and techniques from the 70's and 80's in Canada. I have been thinning out my camping equipment and that of my father. I really enjoyed hearing how you maintained and repaired your equipment. I created some of my own carry bags, bags for cooking kit. I still have a copy of sewing your own camping gear. Those were the days of down sleeping bag sewing kits, before commercial down sleeping bags were available. I used to carry one of those old sewing awls with the wooden handle to do repairs. I like the idea of doing a retro weekend camping adventure and using the old gear and cooking on my Optimus 8R white gas stove. I also used to prepare typical European climbing meal kits of chocolate, nuts, pilot crackers, cheese. The food preparation and meal planning was a big part of any trip. Respect!

I used to own a G66 alu but unfortunately it got lost when I moved from the city to the countryside. I still miss it cause it was a nice tent and with a lot of memories. At one occasion me and a friend of mine went by train and took the ferry from Nynäshamn with both our Haglöfs Skarja backpacks. After renting bicycles in Visby we hauled ourselves out on the road and cycled around in northern part of Gotland during one week. I brought my old Trangia bought from Hobbex in Borås as a gift from my sister (one of the pots now got a small hole in the bottom, got to buy a new 😄) and we slept in my beloved G66 alu from Fjällräven. I remember a had my Caravan Superdown 500 and a simple sleeping mattress. This was in the middle of the 80's and we were two young guys and now we both are around 50+ ☺️

[@neonsamurai1348]

We all wish we could have our loved ones who are gone come visit us again. I spend a lot of time looking for the older quality made products that are still made to that old specification. Such as Filson clothing which still makes same clothing as they did in the 1850's. My old gear from the 80s fortunately didn't survive as it was mostly junk.

[@eschneider8799]

Thnx that was blast from the past. We would pack our sleeping bags in garbage bags inside of our not waterproof stuff sacks. Cheers ✌🇨🇦

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

I talked with an old reindeer herder and he told me stories from his parents when they got their first plastic bags. That was a game changer back in the old days. Suddenly you could transport and protect things. That’s not very long time ago… :-) /Matti

Very good video! There are actually still hikers that use the frame backpacks such as Haglöfs Grönland regularly, and these hikers would never exchange their frame backpack against a "modern" backpack. When I was cabin warden again this summer I had during four weeks like 10-15 people as guests or just passing by the cabin who had such a backpack.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Yes...and this backpacks are better than some of the new once like my crapy Osprey. 😀 ...but less God than the top products today. /Matti

Lovely to see the G66. I've had two, a blue one and a silvered one. I still have the silvered one and use it sometimes. It's so simple and I love it, except for one thing - lack of ventilation!

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

The G66 was a great tent!!! If we look at the tents today, the G66 was a really good one! The tent we got today is, of course, lighter, stronger, and more roomy... but... they can never compete with the memories that G66 gives us back! 😀 /Matti

[@den_bosmens_outdoor]

Fantastic video that took me back in time! I also remember the hikes we did as youngsters with a Fjallraven external frame pack. We used to pack our sleeping bag and mat in a typical grey garbage bag to keep them dry. K-way pullover jackets to keep dry, Esbit fires for the food (cooked in our dad's old military stuff). Ah...good times!

There is something refreshing and soothing in this video. It was good to hear your memories. Could you consider using those voiceless footage with a voiceover recorded at home?

This is one of the most enjoyable videos I've seen in a good while. I was moved by how your use of the old gear brought back memories of family. I understand this well. Old memories and stories are always good to carry with us, either in the heart or the pack. I have a similar Trangia and love its simple, clean design: I was attracted to the no moving parts and the quiet. I agree that it is heavy for backpacking, but I use it for car camping and float trips.

[@megalep7025]

Fun to see the old-style equipment. Most gear of today is far better than back in the 1980-90's. I remember only having those sleeping pads, I never really slept then, only if I made a bed of spruce branches beneath it...A new era started with the therm a rest mattress for me. And the sleeping bags took up a lot of space in the pack, and were heavy too. And those backpacks with external frames and not adjustable shoulder straps, poorly padded belts..horrible compared with todays packs. I had Norrøna's models from late 80's and when they started making real padded hipbelts and shoulder straps like on the anatomic models, the external frame packs were a lot better. I tried Fjellrevens top model Gyro, but no way...I found it horrible, thin shoulder straps, not adjustable in heigth..Norwegian big backpack models were a lot better and I think still they are. 30 kg's in the Hagløfs you show in this epsiode would be a nightmare..In a modern Gregory for instance, it's quite comfortable. Trangia is still ok, you can use other fuels in it but it's quite heavy. Most equipment is a lot better today, and more lightweight. The positive side is that more people can manage to go backpacking for a week or so. But yes we buy too much new gear all the time, lightweight stuff doesn't last too long, but it's also something to do with the mentality today.

[@aaronwilcox6417]

Today there's better tents. Today illumination light technology is far far better, no comparison. As for frame packs I still think they're a viable choice as is a lot of the older gear. In the states the 80's 90's and 2000's was the dark ages for pots and most cookware for outside. We had very little in the way of choices outside of old vintage boy scout sets, or USGI military surplus. The old Bush pots and some things were difficult to source but Today we live in a golden age of pots and implements for outdoor cooking and stoves. It's incredible

Thanks for the video! thumbs up just for the beard. I'm born 1981, so i also know the old stuff and i am still using it, specially for my winter trips. I have Haglöfs sleeping bags from 1979, i got from my parents, with 900g down filling but with enough space for 1400g filling, so it was warm down to -37°C i had two times in north sweden. I also have the old Optimus Hiker and the Exlorer. Both are the best stoves in my eyes since the last 50years. I own tegsnäs skies, made for telemark i think, but i use it with climbing skins for backcountry. Also i love my bamboo ski sticks and my wodden segebaden pulka. I totally love wool and Ventile / EtaProof for clothing. My first gear was the UCO candle latern. I got it 1989, i think and still love it.

We will know in the future if the gear from today was good or not. 😀 /Matti

[@swedishhobo2995]

Nice one Matti. Not sure you remember this but you and I actually communicated quite a lot some years ago. Last time was about a canoe that I had gotten my hands on. Must be 10 years ago now I guess :-) I got the canoe from a German guy who had made it himself but you thought it looked a lot like an Acron solo canoe. I also used to ask your advice on some husky related stuff from time to time.. Thing is I remembered about it last week while sitting in that same canoe talking to the stupid cam. So.... you actually got a mention then and there on my channel 🙂Stay strong and keep doing what you do! 🔥🔥🛶

[@MrBluoct]

Really interesting Appreciate that comment regarding reflections on gear and past trips & experiences with friends, family, pups, or solo It speaks to the core of what matters when moving through the natural world with friends, family or solo- beyond the popular latest tech, gadgetry and animated adventures So popular as posted by too ? many

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thanks! I agree... we focus to much on the gear and to little on the people... /Matti

[@bonilsson3161]

My brother still have his Caravan skvader... I had one but its gone now but it was also used very much; once on over 4000 meters altitude in the Peruvian andes.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

That was a good sleepingbag at that time... and it's still better than many of the cheapest once. 😀 /Matti

[@azclaimjumper]

Nice agility getting into & out of that canoe. Ahhhh HA - using a P38 can opener, never fails. That pot you use to boil water looks like it's older than you. Yes, I recognized the 35mm film canister the moment you showed it. I, too, put the flashlight under my chin to create a scary person. My flashlight held 2 D size batteries & allowed me to have a solid beam or a button I could push to send morse code/SOS. Tents didn't have bath tub type floors like all modern tents & they were heavy. But they did provide shelter & they didn't leak. I had & slept inside a military surplus 2 man pup tent throughout my childhood. Repairing/sewing - do you use the Speedy Stitcher like MEeee? I use it to repair broken stitching along seams on my military pants & gear. I, too, had & carried an exterior aluminum frame backpack which I remember as being a comfortable fit that didn't slip down on my hips. The contents got wet when the backpack material got wet. I still have & carry my Boy Scout pocket knife. I don't think your eye glasses are vintage. Did you shave with a straight razor? - snicker Warm Regards from bone dry Reno, Nevada

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thanks for a lot of nostalgic input. I remember more things when you write this. 😀 My glasses... I have o Another pair from that time. Small rounded... I used them for a picture. I'll put it as a picture on the community later. I didn't use them because I didn't see clear with them anymore. 😕 ...maybe my eyes are little bit vintage! 😀 /Matti

[@VahidCullsberg]

Don't you have to be old to make a retro video? 😉 Great video again

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

🤣 true! Matti never gets old. /Stina

[@woodnugget1301]

I still use some of my old gear today. It’s wonderful and the comments I get just makes me smile. Great video matti. What boots are you wearing in the video? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

In this video I use a brand that is called Jörn. They are little bit difficult to get. There is a company in Jokkmokk who sell them. 'Jokkmokksskor'. 😀 /Matti

[@loskattos]

When packing the two tentpoles together (the two fit together and make a small pack) do you still have the two caps (lid) in rubber? They were used for not letting rainwater in down through both of the poles. The last thing to connect was the tentline in both ends.

[@rickardnorberg4218]

Riktigt fin video med bra känsla

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Tack! 😀 /Matti

[@annekezeinstra6231]

Haha brings back memories. Beautiful done. But i was curious how is Klas doing. Do you still have him around.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Thanks! Klas is doing fine. We posted a reel on Instagram last week about him. We can post that as a short on youtube this week. He will also show up in a video soon with dogtraining that Stina has done. 😀 /Matti

[@annekezeinstra6231]

Oh i don't have Instagram but i saw a movie on you tube with stina 👍👍

[@tonybarcelo6956]

Grymt bra och intressant video

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Tack! 😀 /Matti

[@mats-olaylteus5413]

Memories! Great topic! All from the canoe to the sleepingbag. But what about that common green plastic or aluminium water bottle that made the water taste like the material it was made from? Yiak! 🤮 Or the fishing reels that always made a ”skatebo” (Swedish for Magpie nest) i the beginning of every fishing hike? 😂 But maybe You’r a decade to young fore thoose items?

[@vaiki]

Härligt Matti! Jag gillade verkligen den här videon. Känner mig väldigt old-style för det är exakt den utrustningen jag själv hade (eller har då den fortfarande ligger eller hänger i magasinen i Vaikijaur). Vi släpade dock sällan med oss Trangia-köken utan hade en sotig kaffepanna och stekpanna i säcken och lagade/kokade direkt på elden... Kul också att se att du vände Trappern uppochner inför natten 😁

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Du får plocka fram grejerna och ge dig ut igen. 😀 Det är härligt med alla minnen som fladdrar förbi när doften från tältet letar sig in i näsan och när muskelminnet från att stänga ryggsäcken aktiveras... Kanoten brukar jag vända. Det ät ytterst få gånger jag inte vänder den...men jag tänkte på dig när jag vände den. 😀 /Matti

[@vaiki]

Ah, jag har ju grejer här men det blir ju lite andra sorts färder här… mera walkabouts på den här sidan längs leder och mycket sällan man övernattar någon annanstans än vid campingplatser. Dryga böter om man eldar nånstans utanför anordnade eldplatser osv… Fast det är ju kul att gå dagsturer också.

[@guidon.5413]

As a comparison: My MSR tent outer fly has completely deiaminated after 10 years, my 16 year old Arcteryx backpack inside fabric has become sticky and disgusting, the MSR Dragonfly has been replaced by another Dragonfly since it broke in multiple places over time (soldered some, but at some point replaced it), but on the other hand the fuel bottles are still good, as is the Svea 123r, the Germany army utensils kit is still perfect, the MSR stainless pot set is still good. The gear at the time was heavier and less "functional" in some ways, but it lasted a lot longer ...

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

I agree... I know what kind of gear I would choose if I wasn't able to replace it again... 😉 /Matti

[@karenfarrell3961]

This was such an enjoyable film. Loved how each piece of old equipment brought up memories of loved ones no longer here. I agree that we are too quick to throw equipment away when it could be repaired. When I buy new I try to get gear that has been around long enough that folks can say it is durable and still usable after several years. Nothing holds memories better than old tough stuff. Keep up the good work keep hugging your dogos.

[@johannesk1855]

Väldigt kul koncept :) Saknar inte dom gamla prylarna lol

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Det va faktiskt riktigt trevligt att fara ut med dessa grejer. 😀 ...men det mesta idag är bättre. 😀 /Matti

[@jhenne2867]

Mycke bra Video, hälsa fron Jürgen, Tyskland

[@Photojanne]

Jag har ännu kvar min Caravan Arctic (1.6kg) som jag köpte 1975. Den fungerar utmärkt ännu, möjligen kanske inte lika varm som förr. Den klarar dock av minusnätter. Kanotmodellen i videon har också varit i min ägo. Ryggsäcken var en Camptrail Ponderosa och tältet ett ryggås med innertält av Himalayabomull. Mycket har blivit bättre...:)

[@anettedevert8541]

Jag hade en sån ryggsäck när jag började vandra. Jag köpte den på second hand för ca 75 kr och det var den bästa ryggsäck jag haft. Tyvärr blev den så sliten så jag fick säga adjö till den men jag saknar den fortfarande 😀

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Du borde hitta fler på second hand eller blocket om du vill ha en till. /Matti

[@gnella]

Det var en fornøyelig film. Jeg har kost meg og smilt og ledd flere ganger. Det meste var så gjenkjennelig, vi har hatt mye av det samme utstyret. Om ikke alt var av samme fabrikat så var modellen ganske lik det jeg hadde fra annen produsent. F.eks teltet, jeg hadde et far Helsport som hette "Børgefjell", det hadde jeg helt til noen okser tråkket det sund. Jeg gjorde meg også noen tanker om det jeg hadde i langt yngre år, og alt det jeg har i dag. Man har bedre økonomi nå enn før, det skjer hele tiden utvikling av utstyr, bedre funksjoner, og ikke minst vekt. Men det er også, som du sier, gøy å få nye ting.......og en del blir kjøpt kankje av den grunnen, og ikke nødvendigvis for at kjøpet var nødvendig. I dag er jeg flinkere til å tenke "MÅ jeg ha det, er det nødvendig?" Men men, svaret er noen ganger "nei", men så blir fristelsen for stor. 😔 Vel vel, takk for artig film så ga meg ei trivelig stund.

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Det är en balans med utrustning. Självklart ska man byta till bättre grejer och unna sig det roliga med kul nyheter. Samtidigt så för varje grej vi konsumerar så belastas planeten. Skogar huggs, gruvor öppnas, långväga transporter, vindkraftverk byggs i favorit skogen osv... Svårt och fyllt av dubbelmoral. Vill ha pryl men inte effekterna av konsumtionen. 😀 /Matti

[@torhilla]

Fast hade ni inte rsp eller turistproviant i Sverige???

[@andersjohansson3866]

Många minnen... Fiberpäls, Djungelolja (den äkta) farlig mot både mygg och människor...😀 Saknar många dofter.. min favorit US662...

[@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA]

Doften av Bullens kokat på ett trangiakök va inte dum heller... Många moderna människor glömmer att reflektera över lukter om det inte är stank! 😀 /Matti
