[@michaeltwoodsman4904]

Some great info on lightweight kit ready for winter, Harry. Lovely views too. Atb, Michael

[@kevinalbion5102]

Thank you. Nice little video. Excellent use of space and for a low weight carry. Well done.

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Nice one Harry, the bivvy bag looks the same as the British one I've got size wise and you're right, you can get a few things that benefit from body warmth in with you. Phones and power banks, gas canisters etc.... I'm no stranger to the pie stand either so take up a fair bit myself. Don't know if you've tried it (or if it would work with the cheap tarp) but instead of dedicated poles, walking poles can be used as uprights etc. Keep the vids coming mate, thanks for sharing your experiences. Andy

That is indeed the British bivvybag. the RNLA doens`t have a non hooped bivvy bag, except the plain green goretex bivvy belonging to the M90 sleepsystem. The Dutch DPM is allso slightly different from the British. It doenst have the small dots around the pattern`s colours.

I'm a recent subscriber. ,enjoy your videos on the lavvu and your British smock. Great bit of kit ,I recently got a smock and enjoy it such a great bit of kit had the older style about 30 years ago but have to say I like the 95 version better,keep them coming

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks for your nice comment, Atb Harry

[@BlackCountryWoodsman]

Awesome vid Harry love your system you've done a good job and obviously put plenty of thought into what you'd need out in the field👍🏻Nice gortex gear. Enjoyed watching and thumbs up from me Atvb 🌳🌳🌳Mike🌳🌳🌳

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Mike, its all great therapy for even the hardiest of us. Atb too, Harry

[@allanshillinglaw3083]

Hi mate, hope you are well. Good video 👍🏼 That’s a British Army issue Bivi bag you have there...it’s the same as the one I was issued. The green lace is indeed impossible to cinch closed. I replaced the lace with a length of paracord, and this solves the problem, you can cinch it completely closed. Hope this helps. Thanks, Allan

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Allan Shillinglaw brilliant advice, I’ll do just that with para cord, problem solved. Atb Harry

[@allanshillinglaw3083]

@@FlyingHaggisFilms You're welcome Sir!

[@t.a.c0137]

Well done Harry!... Your almost mirrored with the kit I've taken... Getting the kits weight down to a basic is a must... As long as you have the basics you can have that Extra room for foods...spot on mate 👍

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

I think 14 pound weight was amazing and a pleasure to carry, no luxury's of course. Atb Harry

[@mattkiehne1954]

Hi Harry, enjoyed the review. Happy camping!

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Matt, glad you enjoined it. Harry

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

A very good review as always from you Harry. I'm not sure if a bivi is my thing but I may give it a try next spring / summer to see if I like it. I have the very same tarp too, like you say, quite tough and very water proof and light. I've been toying with the idea of getting myself a bergen, there's a few on ebay. One thats caught my eye is only 14 quid but maybe missing a clasp or something.

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

That's a good price for a bergen, the large long back is always best for Autumn to spring for the extra kit we need, good luck. Atb Harry

[@OUTDOORSSWEDEN]

Nice kit!

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks, tried and tested. Thanks for watching. Atb. Harry

[@markbennett8904]

Nice Review Mate

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Mark, nice of you to comment, Atb Harry

[@essexplodder]

I am wondering if that sleeping bag would fit into one of the standard bergan side pockets, when was using my 120lt one the s/bag went in 1 side & the tarp & hammock the other side, leaving more space in the main pack, excellent kit choices btw atb Barry

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Brilliant, I can see that would work but feel a rocket side pouch would be third too small for the bag, so I like the idea of waterproofing using the bivi bag in the main section as the only option I have uther than using my compression bag and strapping to the under side. Atb Harry

[@zorakzoran1]

Thanks for a great video Harry! This inspiered me to get out my self. (Sorry for my English)

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Zorakzoran, very nice of you to say thank you, glad you are getting out. All the very best. Harry

[@davidthompson1622]

Which Carinthia bag is that ??? , I thought the Carinthia has the centre zipper

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Hi David, you are spot on regarding centre zip, but thus Carinthia is a side zip, may need a summer bag inside to handle sub zero conditions after all. Atb. Harry

[@davidthompson1622]

Flying Haggis Films I’ve got the Carinthia defence 4, and the lightweight British army bag fits inside it very well.....the loops and ties match up, and the British lightweight bag is only about £35 , compared to Carinthia lightweight £100. ......enjoyed the review Harry, like those poles for the basha , which poles are they please ?

[@alexhawthorne9509]

Hello Harry, looks like you had a great camp. May I ask where you sourced your sleeping bag from? It looks a very practical bag indeed.
