A joy to see a Trangia stove after watching dozens of wild camping videos featuring Jetboils and clones. Mine is still going strong after 30+ years.

[@gymbobjoe1091]

I've got one of the OG jet boils that has lasted almost 15 years. Minus a clock starter it's absolutely perfect.

[@markw1915]

@quantok Same, had mine since the early 90's, have the gas adapter for it too.. damn good bit of reliable kit, works every time in all weather's so far, harder to start in the deepest of winter, but if you warm the meths 1st by having the bottle next to your body it's much much easier 👍

[@tobywinyard1106]

Jetboil for heating water. Trangia for proper cooking. Not used my jet boil for 5 years plus now. If you want to cook on a jet boil all the extra gear you bring is heavier and bulkier by far than a Trangia and WAY more expensive.

[@jonbassett8023]

Mine is the MSR Pocket Rocket2 w.igniter. Still carry the SOLO torch as Paul uses!

[@camouflage962]

same with me.... second to none - mine was globally in action.... w/o any issues, but always packed well when traveling by air

[@graemeo3440]

Anyone else get weirdly happy when they see a trangia being used. Love those things.

[@jonbassett8023]

Nah...I prefer the MSR pocket rocket2 deluxe w/igniter. New version fits in the TOAKS 750ml with small fuel canister & sea to summit mug fer a topper!

[@camouflage962]

nuthen can beat a Trangia

[@Jonno-Bass]

Yeah I've had my Trangia since the 80's. Never used anything else.

[@victordevonshire807]

Ain't it great sleeping outside when you're all warm and snug with your two wollen hats on and to feel the cool on your face. Magic.👍

[@danielsingh9415]

For ur cappuccinos sachet, to avoid lumps, add a lil bit of hot water to moisten the powder first, stir to make a slurry/paste b4 adding the rest. I use this method to combat the hydrophobic nature of cinnamon, (and cocoa powder) and to combine the coconut oil with the other ingredients b4 adding the rest of the hot water. It's something about breaking the surface tension and making a colloidal suspension or something like that 👍😝🤙

[@jonbassett8023]

Havin' a Michelob Ultra light...me favorite. Along with a small nip o' 100 proofe Yukpn Jack...))

[@andyc3088]

With gloves it's best to wear a thin inter gloves under your main gloves. So when you take off your main gloves it will allow you to do things without your hands getting cold

[@neovo903]

Those night sky photos you can see Orion's Nebula with the naked eye

[@markatchison9974]

Best wildcamping video I've seen in quite a while (from anyone). Really engaging & informative.

[@Funkteon]

If I were a multimillionaire, I'd sponsor Paul to take his skills to the Arctic Circle in the far north of Sweden in January. I had a grand time there at the beginning of 2022. Hiking 90km through the thick snow and across frozen lakes over 5 days was brilliant...

[@MrDINGER1979]

Nuts I love camping but it's deffo seasonal for me.Nice warm sunny day

[@SteveSeadog]

Definitely amongst the best winter camping vids I've seen. Really helpful for anyone taking their first steps into relatively cold-condition wild camping.

[@matty741]

While I haven't done this sort of thing on my own outside of the army, I have always loved being out in the colder weather. I was in Estonia a in 2017-18 and did a cold weather course, ran by royal marines and the coldest it got was -32. The warmest I got was in the survival shelter. Nice long fire but no sleeping bag. It was brutal weather but what an experience. Definitely going to get in the peaks very soon.

[@Bladee99]

When it comes to winter I tend to over pack for more warmth just in case being cold out there is worse then having a heavier load to carry

[@carlharratt6253]

Trangia best thing since sliced bread 🎉

[@modestadventurers]

Put a magnet on top of the simmer ring. No more burned fingers.

[@M.C.B]

당신의 썸네일을 보고 클릭할수 밖에 없었어요. 텐트에서 나와 아침을 맞이할떄 일출과 주위 풍경이 너무 아름다워요. (한국에서는 볼 수 없는 풍경입니다.) 이제 곧 연말이네요. 집에서 가족들과 따뜻한 시간 보내시길 바랍니다. 자주 찾아뵙겠습니다. 감사합니다 :) I had no choice but to click on your thumbnail. When you get out of the tent and greet the morning, the sunrise and surrounding scenery are so beautiful. (It's a scenery that you can't see in Korea.) It's almost the end of the year. I hope you have a warm time with your family at home. I'll visit you often. Thank you :)

[@camouflage962]

excellent video... thx for posting and efforts to create such stunning footage, Paul

[@marksadventures3889]

The names they give packs ..lol. I found one that was perfect, no big label - no pretentious name just does the job. Those are the products I like and it didn't cost the earth either. If only all products were like that. Oh and we can't have KZbin without ads now - or we have to pay. I can't type my thoughts on that here.

[@samimurtomaki5534]

You are supposed to "spill" a little alcohol on the outer ring of the trangia burner and light that up for preheating. That is if it lights up in the first place anyways.

[@darylstafford8366]

I don't camp, maybe one day, but I somehow really enjoy your videos, it's something different to my norm, love it.

[@The5150owl]

17:24 to 17:33 I spit out my coffee! Thanks for a good Sunday morning laugh. Greetings from Dallas,Tx USA.

[@jonbassett8023]

This Messner guy is fantastic!!

[@blowduke]

You can’t beat good kit .

[@vvs3796]

Finally flex is back in a game..!

[@bigglestheflyboy]

Excellent vid Paul. I like the way you've paired up with Andy as well, and I think that this is the best way to go, as in this sort of extreme wild camping, having a companion means that you can keep an eye on each other. A very important safety aspect that could save a life if things went Pear shaped.

[@gymbobjoe1091]

Extreme? It's just a bit cold.??

[@andrewwhitehead2002]

​@@gymbobjoe1091Kinder and Bleaklow moors can be very unforgiving places where the weather off the Atlantic can change in an hour. It's not the cold temperatures; it's the strength of the wind and the amount of rainfall...

[@gymbobjoe1091]

@@andrewwhitehead2002 but that really wasn't extreme.

[@andrewwhitehead2002]

@gymbobjoe1091 You are right, it wasn't in the least bit extreme. I just think that more generally it is better to travel on the higher exposed pennines with other people. Probably not as important now with mobile phones but...

[@gymbobjoe1091]

@@andrewwhitehead2002 I was referring to the comment from bigglestheflyboy

[@ericjarvie]

To keep the hot drinks hot you really need an Thermos mug..I have an variety of brands of these which I even use at work as conditions are not much better than an rough winter camp at times...The one I use for camping is super slim lightweight and with an tight-fitting vacuum sealed lid it really does work and when closed it can be tossed around the tent without even the slightest risk of leakage or spill..I recommend these thermos mugs but just be really sure to get an good name brand then your guarunteed the drinks will stay piping hot for literally hours...

[@thegreatestoffools]

Hello from Finland! Top tip with your water during winter camping, just put a string around it and hang it around your neck, inside your jacket. With a spare water bottle put it in a woolly sock. If there's a lot of snow you can bury them in the snow too.

[@danielkutcher5704]

The Anvil looks like an ancient sacrificial altar!

[@StripeyHatGuy]

Very nice video Paul! You could definitely tell that it was a cold night when the water freeze's in the tent 😅. ATB Stripey

[@robclemson325]

Keep going mate. I live in a corporate world and some days I struggle just to join a call. Can’t say how much our better halves can put stuff back into perspective

[@summitwithstevie6934]

Looks like the perfect winter camp. What a beautiful sunset

[@steveyford7127]

Oooh that stew was crying out for Tabasco sauce 😋

[@purplephoenix4969]

The sunset and sunrise was stunning.

[@susanhartmann9786]

Another wonderful video, so beautiful, thank you,hope you feel better soon xx

[@poppysherlock3922]

Nice of Halleys Comet to make an appearance at. 0.43. Wasn't expecting him for a while.

[@Leeslost]

Another amazing video Paul Make’s Monday so much more exciting Looks like you had a amazing time

[@suitedaces1989]

Ah great timing, merry Christmas Mr and Mrs Messner

[@AlanJames]

Great video Paul, you've reminded me of how much I enjoy those winter camp nights, so I may have to set out on one soon.

[@Glossopwildcamp]

That was superb Paul, loved every minute of this video. The beauty of the Peaks in winter snow is unparalleled!

[@backpacksandbruises]

Amazing, wish we could brave the cold for a winter wild camp! The snowy views were amazing.

[@edwardsnowdenofficial]

Wow that sunset and sunrise are absolutely stunning! What an amazing location Paul!

[@robdb1993]

Looks amazing. Looking to start this when the weather is better

[@TheAngieStoned]

You're such a sweetheart Paul, and I love coming along for your little adventures. It looks particularly spectacular today!

[@jamesmcguinness9053]

Well done Paul. Brave man out for winter camp especially when you’re feeling under the weather

[@nidfest]

I love winter camping, it's my favourite. Great work, lovely video. Many thanks for sharing your trip. Take care, wishing you a happy Christmas and New Year.

[@JB-nt4jd]

Hi Paul, tip for the coffee - don't pour all the water at once, pour a little bit then stir and then the rest - it will make it creamy and no lumps :) great vid

[@sweebeyh4327]

Great video. I really enjoy watching whilst tucked up in bed in the warm. Merry Christmas!

[@EricWilliamson00]

Tip for keeping coffee warm in that S2S mug.... it sits quite well inside the the 650 ml Lixada once you finished boiling the water. You can pop the lid on it as well when not drinking- creates a double wall. If i showed a pic, it would make more sense.

[@markmccusker2845]

One of my favourite videos of yours, thanks so much for sharing. Have a fantastic Christmas with Mrs. Messner, family and friends.

[@bushmandan8645]

That sunrise looked amazing! Great video!

[@andrewforrest8938]

Thanks Paul for a great winter snow camp, your meal stew and dumplings looks marvellous and delicious , thanks Paul for sharing hope you and your family have a great Christmas and happy new year !

[@gerharold264]

Simply stunning stuff Paul. Well done sir. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you & yours from all your followers in Ireland.

[@stephengardner9128]

A great camp looks like you had a blast maybe a chilly one. Happy days.

[@daveh8519]

Now it definitely doesn't get any better than that and with The Beavers as well. Great mates great times. Thanks to you both.

[@ACE19688]

Looks cold but amazing. Thanks

[@johnfiler6448]

Really first class video Paul. Thank you. You and Jo have a lovely Christmas. Stay Safe.

[@paulcharlton4788]

Use the frying pan as a lid, the water will boil much faster.

[@stevenjohnson2465]

Stunning scenery Paul. Watched both your and Andys. Cracking videos as always from you both.👍👍👍

[@shaunjones5172]

Its great that you kept at it and you didn’t give up. Your video’s are educational and very beneficial to a lot of people 👊

[@holmesaway]

Stunning views! I’ve not been able to get out for the last few weeks so I’ve missed all the white stuff down here! Makes me jealous seeing u out in those conditions and being that comfortable! I definitely need to upgrade my sleeping bag for this cold weather. Great vid as usual 👌🏻

[@GregPople]

One of your best videos, keep them coming!! Well done!!

[@markexpose6108]

HELLO. EXCELLENT. CAMPING.

[@charlesperry1051]

Here in the US, in east Tennessee, we can't cook in tents because of black bears. They will tear a tent to bits if there are food smells inside. There were two black bear sightings in downtown Knoxville TN last week! There are many times I wish I could cook in my tent but it is not worth the risk.

[@Tom-wd5bs]

Hope you have a great Christmas Paul ! thankyou for the great videos

[@ifell3]

Wow, you must feel so blessed with those stunning views!!!

[@feel.the.need.]

Absolutely beautiful views as always Paul. Another inspirational video, makes me desperate to get outdoors. MERRY CHRISTMAS to You, Jo & all the family.

[@autoscanremaps]

Was there a few years ago, also went over to pay respects at B29 crash site on Bleaklow Head. Amazing sunrise btw !!

[@legionnair23]

I have found the Nescafé with sugar and creamer mixed with a Starbucks pack is the best for me

[@br5380]

Never really been a fan of inner-pitch-first tents for the U.K., and still aren’t. Good vid as usual.

[@hillstreesandstreams]

Agreed. Wouldn't work up in here in Scotland.

[@lukedrive2869]

Hi Paul. Great video and what a view. Thanks for all your videos this year. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family. Regards Luke.

[@michaelcapeless3268]

Hey, there's my tent! Terra Nova Voyager! -- Yes! I've used it for years in cold summer weather and in winter snow. I love that tent. I've spent many a chilly night in that tent. Glad to see you're using it, Paul.

[@davidsutcliffe413]

Excellent video Paul - Bleaklow is definately on my list for a trip next year, just maybe in warmer weather! have yourselves a great Christmas!

Awesome vid…enjoyed it from start to finish…..cant wait till next week as I am off work….after watching i am itching so bad to get out on a few hikes…cheers

[@bertvsrob]

I caught a cold just watching this

[@yonderoutdoorsuk]

Loved that! It's probably one of only a few places I've not been to in the Peak District and would love to wild camp there. The Terra Nova is so good! Good advice re the trangia. I cooked in the vestibule of my Terra Nova Pioneer 2 last trip but I have a trusted system and know how the stove behaves in all weather. Even then, it's a last resort. Have a great Christmas!

[@paulhoughton5266]

Awesome scenery and great shot framing

[@kddevitt]

Really impressed you used the trangia, probably my best piece of kit. Great vid

[@fulltimecasualnz]

Brrrrr! What a beauty!

[@chrishamilton2527]

Thanks for the parking update. I’ve got an original pre-heater for my Trangia which is great (I use my Trangia with a Firebox Nano as a holder). Before I bought the pre-heater I used to use a tea-candle to do the job.

[@wingnut1690]

Just stunning

[@hmxbox]

That’s an awesome pitch

[@dogsdogshorsesanddogs181]

Brilliant video! Really enjoyed this one- like being there but with heating on 😃

[@mikefoehr235]

-5 is cold enough in a stove less tent. Here in Canada northern Ontario-30 to -40 are not uncommon. Then a wood stove is a necessity

[@darrenwaring609]

Nice video, Paul. As usual, out in any weather. That’s why you get the numbers 👍🏻
