Cracking video mate

[@CampWithMatt]

Thanks mate - not overly pleased with my choices! That tree came down in Storm Bert....

[@janetandjohnrogers4247]

Love the jumper Matt 😍 and so glad you didn't get hurt. Your filming skills are really coming on, great work!

[@CampWithMatt]

Thanks! I was a very lucky boy, that tree is now on the ground following Storm Bert....

[@Roam.Outdoors]

Great camp! Food looked stunning too, really enjoyed that. Great video.

[@CampWithMatt]

Thanks RO! Appreciate the watch! 👍

Nice. On the positive side, they pack down really small, are really easy to put up/take down, and do get easier to get into and out of the more practice you get. Oh and I think I sleep better in mine that in my bed at home! Probably best not to attach it to something that wants to fall on you though!

[@CampWithMatt]

The damn tree is now on the ground, following Storm Bert! Thanks for the watch!

I've got some serious kit envy 😅 love your bag and trousers. Must be super nice having quick access to everything in the main pocket like that.

[@Chronically_Outdoors]

Glad you didn't get squished. Hope you learned from that one. Was definitely a stupid oversight. Hindsight is 20/20 though.

[@CampWithMatt]

@@Chronically_Outdoors How, HOW did I miss it! I've no idea! I love those trousers - they are my second pair of them. They are pretty hard wearing. The bag is a Gregory Packs Zulu 55. Doesn't matter what size bag you get, it's always too small.

[@CampWithMatt]

And dropped you a sub mate.

[@Chronically_Outdoors]

@@CampWithMatt it happens. Like you said, it was a last minute camp. I kayaked to an island in the lake district and almost got caught in the middle of the lake at sunset. I had put so much thought into planning and executing the camp safely and efficiently, yet I hadn't spared a thought as to what would happen if it got dark before I reached the island. Don't beat yourself up, just learn from it. I know all too well what you mean about the bags. Im waiting for my 120L Bergen to be delivered, my 70L just doesn't cut it in the winter. Lovely video chap, I look forward to seeing more from you. ATB, Guy.

[@CampWithMatt]

@@Chronically_Outdoors Thanks! That sounds like a proper adventure - I've popped that video onto my Watch Later, looking forward to giving it a watch! You've had some strong sub growth - what was been driving it? Will be watching through some of your stuff tomorrow.

[@melaniegray4668]

Scary! Time to get that tree down!

[@CampWithMatt]

It came down in Storm Bert the following weekend! Thanks for the watch!

[@Alifyabas]

Where would you order your trousers? I am 6'2 and find it hard to obtain any for my hight. I usually wear cargo trousers although army trousers are easy enough to purchase I don't want cams these days

[@CampWithMatt]

Hey Alifyabas, they are Keela Heritage trousers. I love them! Massive pockets, easy to store whatever you need, special pocket for your saw, etc. I got mine from Amazon.
