Brother in mind 😉 me (Germany, 65) also using the basha and the bivy , MTP. Ok, a different cooking set, but in the end of the surplus works great, better to carry a bit of more weight, but really good to trust in! Regards from Germany!

Great Gear and Video Man ! I was worried about you after seeing one of your vids a while back i hope you are well my friend !"

Great to see you back mate, I was really worried about you after that emotional video. Your videos are some of my favourite camping videos.
@npwn65698 ай бұрын
Have to agree. Ive got both ultralight gear and military gear, and I almost always end up bringing the surplus stuff. I like not having to worry about it getting damaged. Dont even notice the weight difference either.

I love my surplus kit. Can’t beat it for durability and value. If you are worried about weight just get fitter 😂👍🏾

Great video. I’m a big fan of surplus gear. Great value and quality. Hard to beat really.

You cant beat army surplus for quality gear at a reasonable price 👍 i purchase alot of the clothing for outdoorr activities, i habe the army winter sleeping bag and it is awesome and takes up little room in a stuff sack.. Great informative video 👍
@paddor8 ай бұрын
So true. What most people don’t know is that this stuff is made to spec. Huge difference to stuff you buy in outdoor stores where everything is overpriced and falls apart after 10 days of actual use.

Nice vid, short, to the point and says everything you want to say! I love all my military surplus, as you say, it's heavy but it is extremely durable and affordable.

Also there’s loads of health food u can make b4 u go out and just heat up in camp . Wet wipes are good for quick washing up

Front pocket is also the right size for 2 army mess tins with the folding hexi stove inside. 😉

I'm an ultralight fan these days, but I still class my Dutch army hooped bivvy and British army arctic sleeping bag as two of my favourite/reliable/durable bits of kit when carrying more weight isn't an issue. The build quality of this stuff is unbeatable for the price. 👍

Still take my Basha to Dartmoor with me, it's never let me down through some horrible weather, cut off the stetcher straps to lighten it up a bit . Might still be heavier than other tarps but it's worth it for the peace of mind.

you look good sir with a fresh shave 😎 keeping you in my thoughts hope you are doing ok
@English.Andy18 ай бұрын
Yep, because it’s military doesn’t mean it’s the best. BUT it’s tried & tested & is often more than adequate for the job. It’s definitely affordable & allows you to get out there

Hey Mate good to see you. None of my kit is considered "light". My "imported" Redcamp 10'x10' tarp is mid weight. Sleep system is a Klymate air mattress and USGI poncho & liner (ranger roll). Cook set, the BCB folding stove, USGI canteen cup and stove. Pack is an actual "made in Germany" Bundeswehr Jager Alpine. Almost 3 figures but I know it won't let me down. Take care of yourself buddy !

If u want to stay warmer u should strip down to your underwear when lying on your sleeping bag in your bivi bag then get into your sleeping bag. It’s you that warms your bag and if u can use a sleeping bag liner
