[@ervinslens]

Your content is just amazing man! Enjoyable and always somehow diverse 👏👏

[@TonyHobbs]

Many thanks 😊 one tries ... very trying 😆 some how it kind of works out

[@WiltshireMan]

I hope the family silver is there on your return Tony :) Have a Great New Year. Sandy

[@TonyHobbs]

Lol 😀 all safe n sound and cleaner house 😆 although did say the dust was a problem to her breathing 😄 that's probably why she cleaned 😄

[@TonyHobbs]

Gonna love the comments on this one lol 😆 this is part one too 🤣 and more to follow 🤣 including hail and ponies next to me briefly in camp sheltering the storm. Quite correct how do you survive a storm in a tarp seek shelter lol 😆

[@andystaveley237]

Looks glorious Tony 😊

[@TonyHobbs]

Many thanks 😊 it was a lovely little break 😊

[@IvanDP1967]

Loving your pretty unique style of camping Tony. And I have to agree, there's nothing better than lazing in a nice warm sleeping bag on a dismal morning

[@TonyHobbs]

Very many thanks 😊

[@vincentwilson9362]

Finally got myself a trailstar. Part of the club. All the best for new year Tony

[@TonyHobbs]

Enjoy and you too 😀

[@vincentwilson9362]

@TonyHobbs thanks Tony. What's the best guyline for the trailstar other than the line from mld?

[@TonyHobbs]

@vincentwilson9362 I can't express this strongly enough lol USE THE MLD LINES lol 😆 don't use anything else ever. Three meters for door one meter for other 9 points if enough

[@vincentwilson9362]

😂

[@vincentwilson9362]

MLD. OK. I understand the love for trailstar npw😂

[@harashigomari1690]

Which sleeping pad are you using

[@TonyHobbs]

Thermarest prolite plus It's thinner so better for lower shelter but still warm n comfy 😊

[@northumberlandmountainhopper]

Hi Tony, loving the Trailstar, perhaps a bath tub would be sensible for my Scottish trip, trouble is the soul bivy in X/L and my long Rab bags are a minimum of 230 cm So tell me are you using the TS bath tub or a rectangular one from MLD What’s your thoughts please Cheers from a bivy

[@TonyHobbs]

For winter bathtub floor It's the MLD Trailstar floor fitted to ts much better to have the fitted version rectangular not really working imo

[@rbreiff73]

Agree on the Evernew 600 and Sidewinder. I've been using a much lighter myog set up for fast n light trips, but the Caldera really is the best for most uses. Atb, Rob

[@TonyHobbs]

Absolutely agree i have other options for options lol but this beats all hands down for general use

[@jasonlaverty76]

Happy Xmas and New Year's Tony. xXx

[@TonyHobbs]

Many thanks 😊 and back to you too

[@TheSimong69]

ok ebay has tonys house clearance items.......lol.. great vlog brother

[@TonyHobbs]

Lol 😀 great you enjoyed 😉 and not a bad idea make a bit of space 😀 and cover a penny for new kit 😀

[@julianfisher9755]

Love tarp camping. You ever used a bug head net?

[@TonyHobbs]

Check back to summer vid in Scotland lol 😆

[@wildyorkieoutdoors7271]

Didn't realise a slight breeze is a storm or in your vid where is it eh! or is it a clickbait going here LOL

[@alexmacaulay9550]

@@wildyorkieoutdoors7271 🤣🤣

[@WiltshireMan]

you've only got to be down in a small hollow or dip in the landscape and you'll hardly feel a breeze. Tony is not likely to use clickbait

[@TonyHobbs]

Many thanks Samdy exactly correct and as more vids in the series are released you'll see the forecast for Okehampton was 50mph which i believe is classified as gale force 😀 so yeah spot on find a sheltered spot if possible or go home vs destroy tent on summit 😀 or pitch this very very low and pray 😆

[@alexmacaulay9550]

Nae bother pal you have no chance in a tarp with 50 60 mph winds

[@TonyHobbs]

Actually people have used this in 50mph winds but I'd look for shelter... like I did which is the point 😉

[@alexmacaulay9550]

@TonyHobbs no chance

[@TonyHobbs]

Haha you know nothing about the trailstar then I'd agree a regular tarp. But the ts will survive if low and correctly pitched it won't be a pleasant night though and id avoid at all costs

[@rbreiff73]

Clueless mate. I've used the Trailstar in winds I couldn't stand up in, and it was fine. The thing is bombproof.

[@TonyHobbs]

Fab reply by those that know me and this pro level kit vs the amateurs who knows jack lol 😆
