There's some serious money in that kit!

[@Scotch5ailor]

That kit is most excellent and I especially appreciate the pack. Well done!

I always love seeing these videos

[@amandafrank8964]

Wow, I'd need a lie down after carrying that, haha. Looks lovely and warm.

[@stevemijatovic1766]

You may be surprised at how little the bundle weighs! It's warm enough to get you through the night but certainly not a great nights sleep.

is it possible to add links to where we can purchase some of this kit? like the blankets and tent pegs?

[@captaincatastrophe5143]

I second this idea! Hell even a vid talking about what the things to look for in quality gear would be amazing.

[@stevemijatovic1766]

Most of our members gear is either home made or made to order from various artists around the world. The tent pegs shown here are based on a roman example from Hedemünden. Several different replicas were trialed but all found to be too heavy to justify inclusion. These particular pegs were purchased from a German merchant named Peraperis. The blankets were part of a commission from a European weaver. If you wanted to explore something similar then the Georgian merchant Oldcraft should be able to help. Just remember to specify if you want a tight weave for really cold conditions - the key to keeping warm is to try and created a warm pocket of air around you (usually with a looser weave blanket) which is then trapped in with the heavy weave blanket in the same way a modern down jacket works. I hope this helps.

no fire?

[@stevemijatovic1766]

No fire for a few reasons. Firstly there are no solid fuel fires allowed in the national park I was in and secondly, one night of this trip was scheduled to be spent above the treeline where there simply isn't anything to burn. The decision was made to make cold camp and eat cold trail food both nights. Experience has shown fire in the wild is a tricky thing. It's hard to build one big enough to truly keep you warm and if enemies are nearby it acts like a beacon and ruins your night vision.
