Great video! The only thing I saw that you may want to look into changing, keep the first aid kit closer to the top or in an outer pocket where it's quickly accessible. Love the video!

[@mountain_del1863]

Good balanced view as ever mate. Go light, go heavy, do what you like. Some folk obsess about weight to the point of madness (my mate saws off his toothbrush handles) others have 18 kg full of crap. From experience, I tend to go slightly heavy and have lightweight back up on things like headtorch, titanium stove, lighters and the like. A lot of the lads I’ve climbed/walked with tend to go very light. Very very narrow margins for error on that approach. ATB. 👍

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks mate - I'll never be a totally light weight camper. Agree with everything you say. It's a big trade off - I prefer the extra luxuries - plus I always think, heavier gets you fitter and stronger! ATB mate!

[@PMarsh14]

Great video mate. Enjoyed your very British view on an introduction to wild camping. The number of times I've had to call off trips with awful weather! Enjoy your trip

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks Peter - I managed to get out yesterday and it was very much worth waiting for ! The video is live now too :-)

[@johnpapadopoulos516]

I sent my Xtherm off to Ireland, it was losing air & like you, I couldn’t find the puncture. I had it back within a week with a small clear patch where the puncture was, you wouldn’t even notice it if you didn’t know it was there. No charge either. Have a great time & look forward to seeing the video👍

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks John, yeah it's driving me insane ! I have to blow it up at least 2 or 3 times throughout the night - hoping it's sorted soon. ATB mate

Always good to see what people take. Think everyone has similar items which is good.

[@clickchapman5240]

Recommend to put that med kit into the top flap of the sack. Pulling it out at the very end is a no go. Let's say you're still hiking in to camp and you get an injury...you'd have to rummage through the whole pack just to get to the med kit. That piece of kit should be one of the most easy to find and accessable pieces of kit you carry.

Nothing wrong with cancelling a trip because of the weather. Weather can make or break a camping trip, no problem with going another time when its better, makes a more enjoyable experience. 👍

Absolutely mate! ATB

Totes for the midge net. Have had so many trips wrecked with the bastard midge. I will add though, as somebody told me; Were it not for the humble midge, our limited wild lands would be ruined by callous and untidy campers. Food for thought. Still hate them though. Good vid to do by the way. Always nice to come back to, even with a reasonably experienced head on. Always good to learn from each other. 👍🏼

[@MCMOutdoors]

Killer midges mate - had some horrific nights with them - if you drink enough red wine they stay away from your blood ! haha

[@johnd8538]

Very interesting theory on the bastard blood suckers 🤣 the more day tripoers and campsite dwellers the better for the dedicated wildy's. Less traffic and more room at the bar when you get you get down!!

just a small tip ...if you dont mind me saying ... immerse your mat in the bath with small weights and set your mobile phone or go pro to time lapse "samsung" hyper lapse. replay at normal speed and see the air bubbles... peace pall.

[@MegaMastiffman]

Like you said I too just took what I had and could afford and bit by bit switch out for ultralight or lighter weight gear. I too have a weakness for packs and that pack you got there is absolutely sick man love it great review too!! Thank you!

[@MCMOutdoors]

Yes mate, all about building it up over the years. Love this pack - it's not light - but it sure is well made and will last a lifetime! ATB ✌️

[@johnd8538]

Very informative and insightful, for the experienced and newcomers alike. I recently went on Derwent edge starting at cutthroat bridge and traipsed up to cakes of bread on a hot but windy day, carrying a 32 pound pack. It was my first time out for ages and nearly killed me!! Weight is a definite consideration even on shorter hikes. I won't be going over 25 pound in the future, it's just not funny lugging all that weight, yeah you've got a level of comfort when you're set up but the effort to get there means you're too knackered to enjoy it. It's a balancing act and everybody's different in strength, fitness, stamina etc. Thanks for all the great vids Chris and more of the same please!

[@MCMOutdoors]

Agree John, it's a trade off like you say. Ultralight - enjoy the walk up more - easier - but less comfort around camp (although I'm sure people would scream out that this is nonsense and that ultralight doesn't equal uncomfortable) or take a heavier pack with a few more luxuries for on the top. I need to get fit again, so taking a heavier pack will help out. ATB

[@ciaranmc2997]

Good video Chris. I like that little goal zero light and I've been looking around just recently for something like that. Really nice backpack as well. it's typical the weather would screw up your trip after waiting for 3 months. I got out in the mountains last Saturday night which was cool.

[@MCMOutdoors]

I could have gone mate, but just sitting out the rain in the tent isn't my idea of the best, first wild camp back. The lantern is ace! Thanks for watching.

[@Paul-eu9jp]

Great stuff Chris. I've down sized my pack recently which has really helped with the weight. I bough the Atmos 50 and a kestrel 48 which are ideal for me. I still take my beers and 2 litres of water and i think i'm carrying just over 2 stn which isn't to bad. Your right though it makes you so much fitter carrying more weight. My legs are so much stronger than what they were before. Look forward to your next vid mate

Petty, I know, but i nearly had a fit when you pulled that gas canister out of your main bag compartment and held it over the Titan kettle which is perfectly compatible with standard bottled gas lol The cartridge will sit perfectly inside the pot, or rest very nicely on the indents in the top of the lid if space inside the pot itself is at a premium.

Did the South downs way this Sunday 5th July to Thursday just gone, Winchester to Eastbourne wild camping the whole way. So good to be out, had some beautiful early mornings waiting for my water to boil and enjoying the peace and quiet.

[@vamboroolz1612]

Timely video as I am about to go this weekend for an overnighter. Amazing how similar your packing is to mine and how much of your equipment is the same as I take,( the x therm, Soulo, long spoon, fire starter, tent light, etc are exactly same as mine). Ok, so you gave me the name of the tent light before when I was looking for one, but you get the gist. By the way, if you have a slow puncture in your air pad, fill the bath half way, soft inflate the air pad, stick it in the bath til you find a string of air bubbles and you have located the puncture. Similar idea to a bike puncture, but bigger scale. Normally an easy fix from there.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks mate - believe it or not, I've tried that method, soapy sponge etc too to check for bubbles - and for the life of me I cannot locate the leak - I'm wondering if it's from the valve assembly. I'll be sending it back to Ireland next week - so fingers crossed for a solution. Enjoy your overnighter mate - ATB, Chris

[@Rlea67]

Good vid Chris, getting closer to my first camp with the next two weeks, so this was a good list, not had chance to pitch new tent yet (Vango scafell 200) but looks easy enough, my only slight worry is leaving the car somewhere secure ish that won’t annoy anybody

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks mate - appreciate the feedback! I still haven't learned per se - and my pack still weighs a tonne - I like a few luxuries, mainly a few beers and maybe some wine too.

I am a massive Fjallraven fan. Currently got the Keb 52. Done me proud here in the UK and whilst backpacking around Vietnam and Thailand. Agree with the comment about tent in a dry bag.

Also, although I live in the city so the most isolate places i can get to still have a lot of people (although I now have a little camouflage tent so gun try to hid it behind the tread and overgrown bushes etc so no one sees it then I can spend time on the beach during the day etc :) I have a fire log to start off a fire (not sure it’s allowed but people do it there all the time so hopefully fine, there’s plenty of premade fire pits (surround by bricks etc) plus they’re on beach so not hard to get water if a fire needs quickly put out :) I also have fire lighters for bbqs so I can make a food-safe fire too. Omg so excited! Only problem is I keep putting it off due to anxiety :( But when I wake up outside I feel really paranoid cuz don’t want anyone seeing me but at same time I wake up with WAAAAAAAAAAY😡 less anxiety Than when I’m at home then need to go out 0_o

Good point - forgot about that aspect ! Noted !!! Thanks for watching

The Cragol that hilarious

Nice Video and great explanation! Checking the video description I didn't see a lighterpack.com link to your setup, do you know it? It's very helpful to figure out the pack weight and it's different categories. Keep up the good work! Cheers

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks, I'll check that out 👍

[@DanRiley91]

Did you purchase that sleeping bag recently Chris? That’s a great size and be ideal for me with work aswell as camping

[@MCMOutdoors]

Got it 2 years ago mate from ASDA, I'm sure they will have an equivalent still - just have a look online. It's not the warmest, put backs tiny and does for summer and early autumn.

[@DanRiley91]

MCM Outdoors I’ll have a look cheers. Be ideal for me that in the wagon as I have the night heater on for the majority of the night and I’m not having to slog a big bag round with me. As for the wild camping I probably only get 1or2 in through the warmer months anyway so it’ll be another boxed ticked for those occasions 👍🏻👍🏻

[@keithturkjr.8676]

You pulled out your first aid kit last,....It is supposed to be on top or in an external pocket. I was messing around camping with a knife doing some dumb things I saw on KZbin and cut myself really good a few years back LOL. Got blood on almost all my gear trying to retrieve the first aid kit. So I did it, and I'm not being negative. In the army it has to be marked to show its location,... you may not want sticky tape on your bag,...but anyone with you should know where it is and it should be very easy to find if someone finds you incapacitated.

Top tip, thanks for watching 👍

[@darreneaton9901]

You ever wild camped in Delamere mate? You sound quite local to my area and I’m wondering if it’s a good idea over the next few weeks that’s all. Great video by the way just ordered the lantern you recommended.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Alright Darren - I haven't but I've walked there a few times - I know there is a nice bloke called 'The Cheshire Wanderer' (YT) who walks and camps there - check him out ! Great choice on the lantern too. ATB

MCM Outdoors cheers mate I’ll have a little look at some of his videos now, appreciate it 👍🏼

Sorry mate, Thermarest does not cover punctures, they have a LIMITED lifetime warranty. Quote from the attached leaflet.... "Normal wear, puncture, abrasion, misuse, alteration, abuse, or disassembly of the product are NOT covered"

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks mate, they've said they will repair it - as I can't source the leak, so can't say fairer than that 👍

[@CampingDan85]

Brilliant video,I always like to see what everyone packs. Thank you for sharing ATB Dan. 👍👍👍👍

[@MCMOutdoors]

Thanks for watching Dan :-)

[@CragScrambler]

***** TOILET SITUATION - TAKE A SMALL TROWEL AND SOME LOO ROLL - IN CASE YOU'RE CAUGHT SHORT !!!! :-) *** Also remember, dont be near any sort of water course, high ground or public paths when you do this and bury it at least a foot down! if you cant find a suitible spot.......triple bag it and bring it out.....yes its disgusting but its safe.

[@MCMOutdoors]

Lol I know - forgot to mention that bit!

Hi, is that type of jacket still available?, if so can you share a link or extra info, thanks

[@MCMOutdoors]

Which jacket mate - the Montane one ? If so, that particular one isn't - latest version was the "Flux"
