Nice video Jake and given me some ideas. I’m curious though about your sleep setup: 1. How did your thermal blanket hold up over the course of (quite a few?) nights of camping? Which did you get? 2. Did you have to cope with any storms, and if so was the small tarp enough to protect your down sleeping bag (I’m hoping yes as I’ve just bought one!)?

[@mrsrodney1]

Hi Jake. When you are covering Cornwall section of SWCP, I live South East Cornwall so if you need anything, get stuck, unwell, just need a break etc etc I can bring anything you need or pick you up no problem. (I can get to you anywhere in Cornwall and also West Devon ) so don't hesitate to get in touch should you need to.

[@JimForrer]

Thanks

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Thanks so much mate really appreciate the support! 🙏🫡

Excellent vid Jake! Thanks for sharing.

Hey jake. You are doing an amazing job!

[@frpaddy]

Love your videos and channel Jake. You’re a total stellar lad.

[@easydexter]

Awesome load out Jake! Flying the flag for UK ultralight hiking! 🇬🇧🏞️🌋

[@kwoody1986]

Nice pack loadout I've had a 30l atom for over 5yrs can highly recommend them. I use similar gear also combine a roo pack for gear I need quick access to as I hike. Have a great hike. 🤟🤟 cheers Karl

[@oscarbear7498]

This what a bugout bag should be. Plus 1 gun, spear/ tool.

[@lntkernow]

Great video mate, I finished the West Devon Way last night, last 7 miles killed me, so recovering today and watching loads of videos for advice for my next hike, definitely caught the bug 🤙🏻

[@xanthefarrell6558]

Interesting info. Wishing you the best on future journey's. Always a pleasure to watch. 😊

[@asaandthemarchharepart2903]

Brilliant bit of kit Jake. Hope alls well bro. Never change, cuz this is the best lifestyle, yeah with all its ups and downs. Big Hugs Mate 👊

[@eamonlitchfield8757]

Ah, so it was you! I literally walked past you in The Range, Andover yesterday 😂

[@jasongroom4591]

Saving some grammage with those shorts as well son! So many innuendos! 🍒 🩳 😅 Another top vid 🤙🏻

[@strickostricko]

You should be including the bag of meds, tissues and lighter. You say it goes up and down but they’re all essentials, so should be counted.

[@EauDePodcast]

You’ve earned a sub and I’m only 1:40 through this video

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Thank you very much mate! 🙌

[@greggtilghman6349]

I got the iPhone 13 mini, better battery life. Great Video Jake! Great information.

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Might be worth a look! Thank you mate 🙏

[@FactPeach]

Nice packing list mate. Can you do a vid on cold soaking meals in the UK? Thanks

[@Nomadickangoo]

Nice one Jack! I have literally just bought my first fast pack 'Ultimate Direction Fastpack 40' and will be doing a similar trek. Good luck with your journey🤘

[@GoodBlokeOutdoors]

Love it bro… inspiring me to up my game when it comes to getting the pack weight down for the longer trails! i’d love to invest in an Atom Packs as well 1 day. Keep it up broski. The shorts are fire 🔥

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Cheers brother! Big love! Mint pack mate for sure! Keep smashing it ma dude! 🤟

[@carllewis6745]

Great vid! I can't pull off those shorts though!!

[@godenver]

Great video! Thanks so much for all of this information. I have learned what I am going to eliminate in my pack for my next adventure. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see what's next. Take care.

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Thanks so much mate! Appreciate the appreciation! 🙏 I’m still to write everything up in the description, but I’ll get it done shortly 🤘

Vaseline is a fire starter as well with some cotton wool or something.

Totally convinced me to buy Atom pack.

[@hanskloss1331]

I'm breaking in a Outdoor Vitals Fastpack for a thru hike I believe it's 30 liters also a contact case works well for toothpaste and lotions and YES regardless of the country CASH IS KING

[@marinkavandenbos6550]

Nice video and really light pack! I was wondering if you bring any long pants or always hike and sleep in those very short ones?

[@jozefpetrovic6463]

Ultralight is not for real man ! 💪

[@Sam-Icy]

Jeez that foam pad is pretty aggressive. Very doable though if you can make a bit of a grass mattress below you.

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Used to her now after the other trails haha! Some nights are better than some! Hahaha

[@MoosebearAdventures]

I hope you enjoy your sleep 😁 especially when you use down and hike for a week or something (good luck not freezing) Great vid. 😁 Have a cool hike

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Thank you mate! Not ma first rodeo haha

[@danny.k.87]

Love a kit load out always looking to save grams 👍 What happens if you are over 3 inch 🤷‍♂️

[@mintymilkk]

10:54 great minds think alike, I use the exact same pot

[@justinwright2045]

Did you manage to complete the swcp mate? Been waiting for a video 😬 🤞🏻

[@d.Cog420]

What's the pack weight when you first head out loaded with food and water? Great gear too.

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Roughly 6.3kg step off :)

[@jeffreycarman2185]

Only someone from the UK would refer to their base weight in metric units and immediately refer to their distance in Imperial units.

[@JakesJourneyMate]

😂😂😂 I used to calculate everything in KM in the Army, I can’t even remember why I went back to miles lol

[@tonysutton6559]

I was going to invite you in for a beer or coffee if we are at Minehead as you get to the end of your walk but have changed my mind if you are going to be walking 630 miles in the same pair of pants. 😣 Any suggestions for some inexpensive, telescopic trecking poles that are shorter than the 60+ cm or so 3 section poles which feel too long in the loops on the day bag that my kids got for me?

[@watch-Dominion-2018]

did you film your SW coast path hike?

[@paulcomptonpdphotography]

What are the poles. Can't see description

[@soggywilson]

Are you packing out TP? Wouldn't a UL bidet be lighter? Also no poo trowel? The rules for poo on this trail different than I'm used to

[@JakesJourneyMate]

I always pack out TP & I’m pretty sure I showed my titanium poo shovel 🤘🫡

[@soggywilson]

@@JakesJourneyMate oh sorry I must have missed it

[@sinclairgonsalves1418]

I've seen a few peeps that don't use a stuff sack to pack their sleeping bags. Do you see any advantages in packing it without a stuff sack?

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Yeah 100%! An tesco bad for life is my go too now…. It’s waterproof & slows my softer Items to fill the entirety of the bottom of my pack leaving no holes & uncomfortable spaces 🫡

[@magicvoodooppl]

What are the little tabs at 6:50?

[@andymytys]

Similar to Lightload Towels.

[@andredavies6191]

Really good video mate. I’ve actually just ordered this pack yesterday so nice to see your review on it. One thing you did miss out on was what shoes are you going to be using.

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Brill! Good luck with it mate! Great pack! I’m wearing the altra lone peak 6’s :)

[@jasonlee4840]

nice. side pocket color is black or olive?

[@jasonlee4840]

looks like olive :)

[@Aiedael]

Well here i am with my old Dutch Army Backpack and 11.2 Kg (without food and water) on my Back XD

[@fin1196]

Thought using carrier bags as waterproofing was trained out of you in the army 😂

[@JakesJourneyMate]

[@trailrunningphil]

I would take the hip belt. Great kit break down. So jealous of this one mate. Have you read “the Salt path “ ? Would recommend 😊

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Started listening to it on trail, but it wasn’t the most up lifting so saving for a brighter day 😂

[@trailrunningphil]

@@JakesJourneyMate no its sad start for sure but the path seems to change them. Sort them out and appreciate the kindness of strangers and the raw natural beauty of the land around them. It also has a happy ending! Stick with it mate

[@lennyjames1200]

Maybe change or add some ibuprofen for the paracetamol

[@ayehodgy5675]

the lighter the loadout the smaller the shorts its just the way

[@keithlaurenz3774]

Baby wipes > TP especially if we are packing out the TP like we should. QuickDraw > Squeeze > Micro.

[@watch-Dominion-2018]

they don't break down tho, and stay around for a thousand years or so, whereas TP breaks down quickly

[@keithlaurenz3774]

@@watch-Dominion-2018 tp does not break down quickly. Not as quick as people think. Especially the charmin ultra type stuff that people actually like to use. Here in the US, it is best practice to pack out tp especially on busy trails and dryer climates. So if you’re packing it out like you should, then might as well bring something better to wipe your ass with like a baby wipe.

Will you do this journey with GirlOutdoors?

Not this one unfortunately!

[@camperp195]

A good loadout jake,but id would advise a down jacket (rab) just in case of cold snaps during the night,weigh next to nothing,and stop you getting hypothermia 😳

[@ulbushcrafting6592]

You skipped over your “tent” system. Specifically, the “fire” blanket that is your ground cover. Could you go over that please? I’m guessing you will not be encountering too much precipitation on this hike.

[@JakesJourneyMate]

Theirs a fair bit of of wind & rain down there, but everything you see is everything I got :) fire blanket protects my roll mat & sleeping system, tarp to stop the rain, dry nights no tarp :)

[@ulbushcrafting6592]
