The Best "year-round" Bushcraft Sleeping System

[@alistairg6770]

It is a fabulous system and for the price you pay it is an absolute no brainer! By the way it was your recommendation on this system that prompted me to take the plunge. I will not lie, it is possibly the best bushcraft and/or hiking purchase I've made for many years. It has now been tried and tested and it fills me with confidence that no matter the temp outside I will be nice and toasty.

Running the hammock through was next level genius. I have the American version of that system and now I have to work that out. I have added an old army wool blanket and a mylar rescue blanket over and another one under. The temps here can get super brutal. 60 mile per hour wind and minus 40 temps. If your not ready for it, the only place any one will see you again is on the back of a milk carton.

You can also fit both bags in the Dutch Army M90 compression sack

Just bought this bit of kit and it's great. I feel very confident that I'll be toasty warm over winter

Hello buddy, thanks for the comment. Look out for a future video all about getting the most from your MSS.

[@shellysadventures2875]

So cool to see the differences between the British and Canadian sleep systems. Thank you for sharing! I really like that bug mesh.

[@oldprentonian7767]

Never seen (or thought) to do it this way. Great idea

[@michaeldean5787]

[@WhiteBoar1483]

Like the video, learned some good things there, thanks for the advice. shame youtube spoiled the flow though with overkill on ads..

[@RobEvansWoodsman]

I have the main bag but yet to use it as it's very bulky.

[@garyfleming7258]

Always interesting videos fab keep them coming

[@cardiacbob]

I have the US equivalent, and they're great.

[@oldgreytree7115]

Great information. Thank you. Take care.🐺👍

[@TheRealTyriam]

Great video! Thanks for the many tips

[@davidjones2253]

Nice video got all that kit

[@Turnbull62]

Was just thinking that looks like a good bit of kit. Then I thought wait a minute I’ve got a reasonably roomy DD jura2 xl and a much less roomy Snugpak jungle bag 🤔 Then I thought what the heck I’ve still got my arctic bag in the shed. Never gonna need anything warmer than that for a Scottish winter. Wow! that was a lot of thinking for me! 😅

[@greencraft4783]

Its an easy mod too. Thanks buddy for commenting

In every place I've tried them in the UK, the old DPM seems to out perform multicam as a pattern disruption. MC doesn't seem to camouflage very well anywhere I've tried it.

@Vagrant Survival true enough

[@patrickwade7987]

Good video for getting unbiased information about British Army kit out their but I have to agree with "Martindale" the hammock adaptations will not make for a comfortable nights sleep in a hammock. But hell at least you are not afraid to try to adapt kit. Keep up the good work.

[@greencraft4783]

Patrick, perhaps I'm a freak....but I always sleep comfortably in my hammock....true I'm new to it (I have only been doing it since the late 90's)😉

[@Oldsparkey]

Best "Year Round " seams relevant to a persons location. Probably a good set up in the UK but here in Florida it would be useless. With summer temperatures in the 90's ( matching humidity numbers )and heat indexes in the triple figures ( feels like 110 today ). Here in the summer a simple sheet is normally more then needed ( in a hammock ) and then only in the early morning hours. The winter a simple 40 degree quilt works really well , when there is any cooler weather. Our winters are more like everyone else's Fall temperatures for the most part , 40 and 50 but not for long or a lot. You are lucky with some actually winter weather to enjoy and look forward to each year.

[@Art-uv5fu]

This vs carinthia Survival One?

[@manfredgroebel8257]

Great! Do you have a link where I can get these bags. In German Amazon you do not find them.

[@clarky6746]

Try on ebay uk.

[@clarky6746]

Search for british army modular sleeping bag. Lightweight and medium weight and they both come in medium size and large size

[@manfredgroebel8257]

Clarky Thank you!!👍👍🙏🙏

The issue with cocoons is that you can't achieve a diagonal lay in a hammock, which makes them basically worthless for actual use. I like the multifunction concept being applied so thoroughly though.

[@greencraft4783]

I have managed to sleep in hammocks without the need for a diagonal lay since the late 1990s, when I first started using them, I think its a personal preference. Also after a few days teaching in the woods I'm capable of sleeping anywhere!!!

[@NM-wd7kx]

@@greencraft4783 that's fair, I got into hammocking for comfort and waking up with a crooked spine ruins my day for sure

[@mattmiller1179]

I find hammocks wildly uncomfortable anyway, so a diagonal lay means nothing to me. But we can't say worthless. Hammocks are integral for getting off the ground in a hurry, such as in flood conditions.

[@BrumCraft]

I sleep diagonally in my cocoon no problem

[@OldNavajoTricks]

I sleep figure four in a pod made from an old synth bag no worries, if I need to use my down bag inside it I have to go team Banana.

Hello Sargent

[@Jonessen]

👍

[@maxsparks5183]

Looks great until somebody jumps out of the woods in the middle of the night and chops your noggin off. I just can’t get over the feeling that I’m swinging there at waist level like some big sacrificial lamb when I sleep out in the boonies in the middle of the night.🤷🏻‍♂️
