[@matty741]

Those arctic weather sock from the military are the bollocks. I was in for 13 years and the last place I went to was Estonia. It was -32 but the toes were nice and warm. I also kept my wonter boots, Karrimor SF they are called. Very bulky but more than do the job.

[@Lonewolf__666]

My thoughts 💭 also.. living in my bungalow with no heating in winter 🥶 would be a struggle. I think us modern humans have become soft!

[@loghoppers]

@Lonewolf__666 humans used to wear long Johns before central heating and double glazing, 'we've' forgotten how to conquer the cold from simple layering techniques. People can be more concerned with fashion than practicality and comfort. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

Great video, subscribed 👍

[@loghoppers]

@@heathen-greaser thanks Cully, glad to have you on board. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@jno5]

You should make yourself a Pot Cosy (if you don’t already have one) to help keep your food warmer, all you need is form of insulation material ie Bubble Wrap & Tin Foil and duct tape. There are lots of videos online to show how to make one, they are lightweight and you store your pot in it when not in use so doesn’t take up much more room……you can hold the pot when eating and you don’t burn yourself.

[@loghoppers]

@jno5 makes sense.. Mods a ganet really, so there's really not enough time for it to go cold in the big pot lmao 🙃 🤣. Cheers Cully. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@Nofixedabode859]

Hi guys great winter kit video and am looking forward to seeing how you get through winter with the gear you using, just one question though about your packs, why did you choose them in particular and where you purchase them from thx?

[@loghoppers]

@Nofixedabode859 good question Cully, I am ex forces 2003 and after I left, I went about my way to get off the grid ASAP, kids and life happened... slowed me down, however... life changes. I picked up my old issue 110ltr pack and started to make a journey of my own... I met Tara on the road and she had (and still has) the blackhawk (look at our long stay video). She convinced my military mind that I should get the same, I refused for too long, I need everything I have in my 110lts... safe to say, women (especially nomadic ones) have a way of making everything work, no matter how simple or lack of something may be.i bought a genuine one from ebay for £320, and WOW, never looked back. And they say its a 3 day sack. Stick around, HAPPY HOPPING. 👌🏼👍🏼

[@Nofixedabode859]

@@loghoppers yeah my sons are forces and I’ve acquired 2 short back Bergen’s and you just put too much kit in it, I’m all about minimal kit now and tried a lot of packs and liking those black hawks and they look like they hold loads considering the litreage 👍

[@ClaraTaylor-te7mj]

Hi guys just discovered your channel, I work outdoors all year 🇬🇧 and keep warm by moving all the time + ski trousers are a must on those few but mega cold days, how do you keep warm enough at night when it goes down to -10?❤

[@loghoppers]

@ClaraTaylor-te7mj frozen tent and alsorts lol. We've been to -13, but stick around and you'll see winter lol. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@AltairNoken]

A thing i did from doing the pennien way / ben nevis in winter is use a jet boil to heat water into a steel 1L or better a aluminium one and that in a tent acts as a heater. just do yourself a favour and never boil water in the tent or in the vestibule as the moisture will hit the fly and instantly freeze. I use the Berghaus Grampian 3 and two 1L bottles gives a comfortable air temp.

[@loghoppers]

@AltairNoken been at it 10yrs+ Cully, we live this way and very adapt. But thank you for sound advice, I'm sure others will really appreciate it. Do check out some of our other videos to see that we really don't need or have a use for jetboil things and other such gadgets for us personally to keep warm. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@nigelh3253]

Great video - enjoyed a lot! Plenty of topics for future ones, food you eat, sleeping arrangements, daily routine (?). When you travel, do you buy maps of new area to help plan? Just interested.

[@williamjones8295]

What backpacks do you both use? I like the size of your packs, they may be a perfect size for what I need.

[@loghoppers]

@williamjones8295 have a look at our long stay video Cully, it says what it is there. But yes, it's awesome all year round, very versatile and longlasting too. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@fireandforge]

How many sets of clothing do you carry and how do you keep them and yourselves clean? Good hygiene is what keeps you healthy.

[@loghoppers]

@fireandforge Hey Cully, and thanks for your comment. Have a look at the 'forest launderette' video, and what's in our pack bag reveal video also. Typically we have 2 changes, and have known people who live in houses be far dirtier than us living in the woods lol. If we can't rely on friends for showers or such, we'll use streams and other with environmental friendly soup, wet moss, baby wipes and so on etc. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼👍🏼

[@fireandforge]

@@loghoppers very true. The trappings of civilization do not equate to hygiene. Having lived out of a rucksack for many years myself I know that good hygiene is a must and also a matter of strict self discipline. It's too easy to get lazy when it's not comfortable. And many do not know that dirty clothes do not last long. The trapped dirt acts as an abrasive that destroys the fibers and that's why clothes literally fall apart. Keep being you. When it all crumbles you guys will be the ones on top

[@loghoppers]

@fireandforge too true. Yeah, the acids in the soil can contribute to fiber break down whilst interacting with alkaline and pushing that PH up, and loosening weaves. Thanks for commenting and continued support. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@pedallinraw]

Charity shops for wool jumpers 🙂….i have that tent 👌🏻

[@loghoppers]

Charity shops are always great huh... but believe it or not, some jumpers from those places... you gots to look real hard, as some 'wool' jumpers are completely synthetic lol. Cheers Cully, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@DreadedGareth]

I've just been assembling my winter kit for inclement weather stone bothering. Interestingly I bought several of the things on your list :) I found whole army goretex waterproof suit on Vinted for 20 quid, though, which is my prize purchase! Was wondering, though, what sleeping gear do you use when camping in winter? I opted for the British army sleep system (lightweight sleeping bag+medium weight+liner) but clearly you are also aiming for low budget as well so any recommendations? You're correct about temp regulation - I feel the cold much less than my (female) camping partner, so we're looking for cheap sleeping bag for her! Happy camping, guys! x

[@loghoppers]

@DreadedGareth if you watch our 'long stay video' that'll show you our gear for all year round. However, our gear may not be suitable for those in bricks and morta, as their blood will not be so acclimated to 24/7 outdoors... that comes with time and perseverance. But stay tuned as we've got techniques and ways of keeping warm, thats better to show rather than tell. 😉 HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@_NickB_]

I've got a couple pairs of those heat holders socks, cannot rate them highly enough! Although they are quite fond of taking half the forest floor tangled in them 😅 How are the surplus arctic socks in comparison?

[@loghoppers]

@_NickB_ they don't collect as much litter, but on a fairer note... I don't tent to walk about in my socks without boots, but also those artic socks in particular, I only wear for bed. Mod however wears his day in and out 🤮, but he swears by them and they're only £10 a pair, but because New Milton army surplus is absolutely awesome, he did us an all in deal which in turn reduced our socks to half the going price. Very hard to get hold of tho, as army surplus are disappearing. Will leave the website for him in the description when got a moment. Thanks for commenting and your support, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@_NickB_]

@@loghoppers yeah I'm up north and every single surplus store has shut for good, it's a damn shame

I will be living in my tent from March next year. Can you let me know what cons if any from having a dog?, i would love to have a dog with me but wonder if it could cause issues when finding areas to camp in and staying stealthy. Thank you.

[@loghoppers]

@Mark-dj4zr Dog is very well trained and was an intensive 13weeks training period that we conducted to make him tent stealth and a 2 person pooch. If you are going invest in a pooch, make sure its of an intelligent breed. However... you've sparked inspiration for us to put a video together regarding this very topic.

The scarf or Keffiyeh is worn these days to show support for an oppressed race and against a regime that practices genocide, like it or not the Keffiyah is making a political statement, and it is one all humanity should support instead of trying to distance oneself from it.
