Another great video, looks lovely this time of the year when the trees are all different colours

[@davidcressey]

I have the xmid2 pro 2. Just did the Skye trail with it. Its pretty solid in wind and rain but the big sides can lead to compression if not set up properly.... and you definitely need more than 4 pegs

[@MattGriffiths81]

I love seeing that tent out in the wild. Thanks for a nice camp.

[@Steve72Outdoors]

Great video Paul. Never forget my boots but forget to put my walking socks on when getting out of car and putting hiking boots on. Didn't realise I'd been wearing my cotton sports socks on whilst walking 😬🤣

[@ethicalbunny]

Enjoyed this one! I’m glad you had your trainers I recently bought some new boots and a mile into my last wild camp my feet were bleeding 🥹 always good to bring a spare!!

[@RisingShadow666]

Another great video paul doing the Airedale way from Friday taking a tarp bivvy set up with me started camping for my mental health does me good inspired by watching people do this now I'm addicted outdoor life can't beat it sunsets the stars at night way of life for me now look fwrd to next escapade wild camp

[@dougdixonhull]

This video was sponsored by Nike. 🤣😂🤣 Friend of mine came camping/walking with me for three days around North Yorkshire area. He bought a new pair of walking boots especially for the trip. Unfortunately he didn't check them until we arrived and he found they where 5 sizes to small for him. So you're not the only one. Great video and yes to the tent vid👍

[@TonyHobbs]

Great camp and set up there. Thanks for bringing us along. Looks like you're enjoying your 360. Love mine just need to use mine bit more lol mind you my last short trip with Chris turned into a pretty knackering walk so just managed what I could. Look forward to seeing you in that duomid again soon

[@danielbailey818]

The day you released your video I watched it that night while relaxing (aching) after undertaking a section of the Offas Dyke long distance walk, and obviously navigating it in the dark… oh the joy. In fact It was an over night stop in Knighton. Shear coincidence, but I was under my Terra Nova Superlite Voyager, a tent have used for many many years (got to be twenty ish I think) It has done many a long distance walk and wild camp. The only moan I have about my version is the mesh at the bottom of the tent…..cold toes! Great tent, I am actually dreading the day it has to be replaced, but it is still like new. Thank You Terra Nova, a version two! Alas I also have my eye on a new Terra Nova Quasar. If I was to purchase a new tent today, it would be one of these two tents.

[@syahrulbakhtiar9985]

Another great video Paul. Gods country looking fine even in poor weather. The NYM are unique and beautiful. Great to see Orion in your time lapse. What time spacing did you use?

[@markl2815]

Just bought an xmid (not the solid because they again have none) and have high hopes for it. Should be ok in mesh for most of SW France year anyway and they’ll maybe one day have alternative nest options on sale. If you ever fancy a trip to the Massif Central, you’d be welcome on the “Yorkshire stick together” principle mate. Thanks for all the info over time. It really is welcomed because of the trust in what you say and that you use it yourself …though how the hell you get time to use the range of it you have is clearly not easy. Anyway, cheers for that

[@anthonyfinnerty4129]

Just a suggestion regards to tents or even a brand to cover for the channel. I've bought a few items from Alpkit and been really impressed with both service and quality (Skyehigh sleeping bag & Fantom jacket). Believe the brand started an affordable alternative to the big brands and just expensive outdoor clothes in general, but more recently they're equally if not more expensive. Great quality products in my experience, so that doesn't bother me, though I guess the current financial climate doesn't help a UK based company. Either way, being online only it's really hard to get a feel for what their products are like to use or even wear. The Solist tent seems popular, but outside of that it's quite difficult to get an informed opinion. I'd suggest this could be where you come in 😁. Anyway, great video Paul and great to see you out! Even without your boots!

[@ethicalbunny]

Also, could you please do a video on what good is best to take camping!

[@lawnmower4884]

Great channel, just subbed!

[@garrycollins3415]

I do like my Xmid 1P. I'm considering replacing my Outdoor Vitals Fortius 2P with the Xmid 2P. Mine handles wind well if the guy stakes hold.

Any chance of seeing an outing of the hot tent again Paul? Keep up the great work.

[@pootlingalong8928]

Nice video as always 👍🏻🙂 As for tent suggestions, don’t think we’ve seen you with an MSR tent? Should like to see a review of the Hubba NX Solo tent if you can get hold of one. They aren’t really a winter tent but should be able to hold their own at this autumnal time of year.

[@MrAndRob]

he's done a few MSR tents mate

[@philjones3335]

Still the best Paul, always say it, you are more like most of us, by that I mean you do nice 1 night camps in places that most of us mere mortals would go to and you don't hike 25 Mike's to get there! Any way regarding tents, yes I'd love to see the voyager 2 on your camps, it's one on my list of to get tents. Never seen you with a fjallraven tent, would you consider the abisko lite 2 as this is the tent that I am at present saving the pennies for, light for a 4 season 2 man tent and seems to have great vestibule and p.enty room for me mutt too. So if you looking at another tent then please give this a look as I would definitely like your opinion on it. Cheers pal, already waiting for your next video😬

[@danmavin_sos]

Great channel, just discovered it

[@minibigs5259]

Love the 360 reaching down in to the tent. Wouldn't mind look at your nightlapse setup. Do you battery bank or just internal?

[@Jqteadventures1659]

Love to see you use some really cheap gear like a Lidl or Aldi tent lol and random stuff off eBay or ali express lol now that I’d like to see lol

[@andreasweber7828]

Hi Paul , I wonder if you could tell us a bit more about your experience with the Durston and how the inner space compares to let’s say your Lanshan pro. I recon both tents are 1p tents. I heard that the Durston doesn’t impress with its living space inside. Recently I startet marauding in my Lanshan 2pro and to be honest, my expectations were a mildly euphoric but now I love it.

[@MattGriffiths81]

At one point I had a Lanshan 1p, Lanshan 2p, X-Mid 1 and X-Mid 2. I can say the X-Mid 1 is by far the easiest tent to put up I've ever owned, followed by the X-Mid 2 (which is slightly more finnicky with wanting you to get good 90 degree angles for your corners). As for size, they are comparable. The 1p versions are both 80cm x 130cm, however the lanshan has a triangle along the long edge towards the back that adds 20cm at the peak whereas the X-Mid is a parallelogram so you actually kinda lose a bit of space at the ends. It's completely reversed in the door/vestibule situation though with the X-Mid having two doors and two vestibules, there's tons more room to store and cook. I've never felt out of space in the X-Mid, I have in the Lanshan. As for the 2p versions, I found the Lanshan 2 to be awkward to get right, and also too high off the floor at the doors by default. We modded it to be lower, and change the way the doors are secured which helped, but once I'd taken the X-Mid out once, I sold the Lanshan 2 right away and don't regret it at all. I loved my Lanshans, but in my opinion they don't even come close.

Cool little stove. Did you make it yourself? I was just wondering if that was a little screen and carbon felt or something else in the cut down soda can? I have a Durston XMid 1P Solid on order to use during the winter here in the states. I'm curious as to how it will do. I also recently picked up a new Tarptent Moment DW to try this winter as I think it'll be good in the wind and snow. I've had my Atom + pack out now on a couple of trips and I'm not loving it as much as I had hoped. Even with a low pack weight, I feel too much on my shoulders. I really wanted to make it my go to pack because of all the customizations. It truly has so many features that I adore. It's just not as comfortable as a couple of my other packs. How do you like your Mo now that you've used it for a season or two?

[@PaulMessner]

I really like my Mo. I’ve not had any issues with the weight on my shoulders. I did spend a fair bit of time measuring my torso for a good fit and then when it arrived quite a few adjustments with the back plate.
