I use a cheap Chinese mat that cost about £15. It has no quoted R value and it's quite narrow (around 550mm?) but it weighs very little(~500g), packs even smaller than the Thermarest and is warmer than my old closed cell mat. I've used it down to +5C and it's been fine, I'm fairly sure it will be OK to 0C but I might regret going sub-zero. I've been looking at the Flextail mummy-shaped mat for winter use but it's much bulkier and heavier and given I only camp in winter occasionally (usually in a bothy) I might just bring my closed cell mat along instead. But your review was interesting because we don't hear much about the Flextail mats.

Time to get it on the stone and strop.

You know it makes total sense with a whaskey review

Interesting video...new sub 👍 interesting place .....

pmsl when i saw that toilet 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the most depressing toilet i ever seen-yes i know it was put there for a laugh and boy did it work! talk about being an exhibitionist !

You tube swinger

2:17 😂

LOL LOL Those impressions were grand LOL I think one of em was my mate Ste & I think one of the other ones was the bloke who goes campin in haunted locations with his awesome little white dog, but it's got me cream crackered who the other one's were lol, I'm sure yours & the lads impressions were bang on Cat, LOL more of a reflection on my poor "outdoors youtube channel knowledge" than all of your impressions LOL, I loved em all by the way, nothing like a bit of crack (laughter for all of you Americans lol) & the lads face when he revealed the tent from his bag was a bloody bottler LOL. Oh & whomever set up the little camp you all stumbled across showed bloody top form!!! Take care Cat & thanks to you & the lads for a great video. Ta ta LOL. :) Oh & Cat LOL judging by your expression when you woke in the tent..........few cheeky pints of larger did we??? LOL LOL

Great camp though you need to scrub up on the Scottish accent there Cat! That brecky pack looked amazing with the cumberland sausages 😋 WOW !! These guys are sound. I can't mind the mad mans name ,but watched him a couple of times with the roundabouts, whaskey testing and OOOoooo Matron. Forgot his name Cat lol. Nice one!

That were grand

I hope you dont mind me saying cat u looked proper hung over in the morning .great camp enjoyed it no improvement on the accents lol

Great video Cat. Number 2 deffo the Wildcamper of Dooom!!! Good old Andy Wardle. Blot outdoors I got as well. Nice tents kicking about there and I agree you can't go wrong with a Vango Banshee as a starter tent. Good luck pushing on towards 10k subs 👍👍💯

Good video Cat

classic laugh the old v sign behind the camera! you should of been up on the north east coast of scotland with me! best northern lights ever, wont ever forget it!

Excellent video

Number 6 was definitely the best... Rights 😂🏕️

What a great camp this was Cat, after the disappointment of the ferry being cancelled we sure got lucky with you finding thst shelter. It was a cozy night laughing away under the tarp with a little 🔥 we'll definitely try piel island again asap, catch you soon, atb Paul 🙏🏕🏕🏕😁

Answers to the impressions in the description, but no cheating, let me know which ones you guessed first! 😂

Hello Claire.. That is not right. People should take away there stuff and leave no trace. What you found is something that could be seen by the land owners and they could stop people that are genuine from being there and totally ban wild-camping in that area. People should respect what there is and be more respectful to our beautiful country-side and woodlands,,,,,,, Regards Mick,,,,,,,,, Chef-on-the-wild-side,,,,,,, X

They’re not impressions. Not one jimmy saville 😂😂😂

i got the blot impression but god knows who the rest were 🤣🤣

hi,thinking of buying a camping stove that runs on butane gas for the first time.question,is there a shelf life for butane gas and do you have a stove you can recommend?

Hello Cat. I have a OneTigris 5.3. It was very cost effective and works better (it seems to me) then my other air mattress, that cost over twice as much (names will not be mentioned, but they are yellow and you were holding ono in this vid.). On another note, I have just watched most of you videos, and I am happy I found you. Thank you for sharing your adventures. "It was a slug" is now one of my top 10 situational sayangs.

👋 👍

Hey just came across this looking for the Wales videos ect. I bought a cheap one and nearly lost it. The instructions were vauge,it was all trial and error. The dji one even sounds like it gives you flying lessons at the beginning. Your first flight is good and the tree footage was really arty. Brilliant! PS. Is this the one you currently use Cat?

Glencoe is awesome in every sense of the word Cat! Yes BBBRRRrrrrrrr that loch even looked cold. Still trolling through some of your old vlogs. The West Highland way can be done again. Loved this cant wait for your next mission.😃

Rabbi Burns would be well proud of you Cat with that little poem of yours Haha. Looking forward to your latest adventure. Many blessings from Me. Ps .What drone do you use? As I bought cheap ones till I build up my pilot skills, ready for a dji or something. Love out from Scotland

Brought some lovely memories back there Cat. Been on that Island as a wee boy with my dear mum and her pal with my sister. Been to Balmaha many times since but not on the Island. And Bombay mix! Love it. Great video again with added bonus for me. Nice to see you came up to Scotland for a visit. Cat you did a great job, brilliant effort considering your hip and blister.

Cat ,love the fact that you don't try to hide anything or glamourize your camps. You could have left out your fight under the tree, and bless you that you admitted the place was a tip when you got there. And putting those boys to shame that they could not get a fire going. When I was a 12-15 year old wee would be camping fishing, gutting fish for dinner. Wpw changed days I just presume lads still do camping. Anyway by far the most real camping vlog, and most down to earth lass in this field. Keep up the great work.

my grand mother grew up not far from Penmon , when she was a little girl she claimed she saw a heard of ghost cow's walk across the road when she was on her walk to little school, and that they appeared through the stone walls and kept on through the wall on the other side, she never saw any human ghosts, but i believe the live stock story, she wasn't the type of woman to make up silly lies in order to be ridiculed

Great comparison Cat, as one of the big 3 (tent, sleeping bag and sleeping mat) it's an important choice, a comfortable night's sleep is very important, personally I will sacrifice weight and size for a good mat, my choice is the Sea to Summit Etherlight xt extreme, it's been nothing short of exceptional, the flextail mat offers excellent bang for buck 👍 agreed on the v2 pump lovevthat it's dual purpose. Catch you soon, atb Paul 🙏 🏕🏕🏕😁

after reading the video title the divorce papers are in the post!

got myself a therma rest neoair pad and was really impressed with the thickness of it. yet to use it camping yet because i have been feeling brave enough!

Great video but can Aliexpress be trusted, is it genuine flextail mat?

Great vid enjoyed stay cute stay safe .

It's really cool that you're not scared at all! I love that. I'm scared of everything 😃

Hi Cat, thanks for your reply. I can recommend Northumberland especially Rothbury and the Cheviots for wildcampung, there's some excellent you tubers up in the North East like Blot Outdoors, Emz, Andy Wardle and Lundy's wildczmp/ bushcraft. Keep up the good work.

Great review. I use the light tour 5.8r. Seems to pack smaller. Got from Ali express for £130ish, outdoor gear essentials now stock it too.

😁hiya Cat.. Great reviews on all 3.. Never had a thermorest but not tempted either.. I've had the flextail R5 and it was Sooooo comfy, relatively quite , until it popped on me just before my month off and my Highland and dartmoor adventures. So I bought the big Agnes rapide SL 😁👍👍👍 it's a bit heavier than the flextail, but just as comfy and warmer . It's actually heavier than my X-mid solid 1p .. and like the flextail, it's a pig to get back into it's stuff sack so in the end I just fold it up flat squareish and just pop it in my rucksack on top of my sleeping bag. But if on a budget, the flextail is excellant and customer service is brilliant. The rapide SL has two separate valves too, so less chance of any air escaping.. 😁 Thermorests to noisey for me, but the weight would be nicer than my SL or the flextail 😁

Great place, funny enough i have a photo from somewhere around 1996 of my then fiancé sitting at the back of that well room. We have now been married for 26 years and used to live on Anglesey when we both worked there. We moved away in 1998, so your trip there brought back a lot of memories. I love historical places like that.

I can sympathise with feeling knackered after taking a wrong turn, as just one can use up a lot of time and energy when you've a heavy pack to carry. Even with google earth things can look very different on the ground and it's easy to do. Still, it was worth it to find that hill-top. I'm curious what vivid dreams you had while sleeping in the cabin. It did have an atmosphere, and being open sided I can understand why you might have felt a bit exposed so close to the path.

11:16 Get yourself a large magnet and fit it to stick and sweep the area … should soon find the lost metal loop assuming it’s made from steel?

5:29 HaHa … loved this … what was his name? His wife was called Pammee. 😂😂… loved all that comedy, Harry Enfield, Fast Show …etc… do you remember Hayle and Pace ? 😂😂

Exped is shit,I think nemo is the future. I own the xtherm and deciding to upgrade to the nemo extreme, life time garenteed. Flex tail will probably fail after a good few uses. By cheap buy twice ohh yeeaahh

Great review Cat , and I for one absolutely agree with ya on Thermarest 👏👏👏 , l last bought the first of their new at the time ' Neoair ' mats , and it was flimsy and easily punctured , and as some said , the noise was like sleeping all night on a big bag of crisps/ potato chips . I don't care what anyone or those marketing victims think or say . I still have a Thermarest camping cot with the clip on thermal sheet which is actually ok , but their mats are as comfortable as light cozy slippers , but sadly last as long as a pair of slippers up hills and mountains. Best regards Cat , and see ya soon .

LOL, LOL, LOL "We are considerably richer than YOOOOWWWWWW!!!! LOL, LOL love it mate!!! & the "I hate the thermorest!!" was hands down THE greatest product review I've ever heard LOL, LOL to the point, free of any bollocks!!! "Aye, this contender is always ready!!!" lol. Now I personally recommend 3x, 1 & a 1/2 cm's thick rubber mats on top of each other (kind of similar to wet suit material LOL) a pillow & a "blankey" LOL (no grown men DO NOT call their blankets "blankeys" LOL), LOL & the most important addition, a happy, friendly & loyal whippet called Mildred, a comfy night's sleep indeed LOL. Cheers for another great video Cat. Ps, The random insertions of old school classic English comedy is in this fellow's opinion most certainly a few steps in the right direction LOL made me laugh out loud Cat, so thank you most kindly for inserting some good old fashioned laughter into my day lol oh, & at the start when you pulled a mattress to either side to reveal you saying "HELLLLOOOOOO" gave me a good giggle too. Take care Cat & thanks mate.

0:14 Depends on the woman flexing her tail I guess. What's up buttercup? 😛😛

One thing you cannot knock Thermarest for is the customer service Cat But thats just as well because they are not the best and not without their flaws. I used to have a Thermarest self inflating for over 20 years which wasnt exactly self inflating but it did the job until i got older and technology developed and i started to appreciate a more comfy mat. I have had all the Thermarrests now and totally lost my confidence in them being the best because they are not. That Exped is a great mat and very comfy , reliable and warm and it might not be the smallest or lightest but when it comes to confidence/peace of mind and getting a goof nights sleep thats the one i would choose out of these 3. That flex tail appears to be great spec at a great price but that old adage of buy cheap buy twice springs to mind so , time will tell 🤔. Personally if i could only ever have one mat it would be the Nemo Tensor Extreme conditions because it ticks all my boxes in terms of Lightness, Comfort and weight but its expensive . If mats were only about Comfort and you put all other conciderations to one side then personally for me it would be the Big Agnes SL Rapide Insulated in size Long and wide, its amazing in terms of comfort , i havent had it long enough to comment on how warm it is but comfort wise its a clear winner for me because its pure Luxury ( Insert Monty Python Sketch 🤣)

First time ive seen your video's,👏 👏, loved it, staysafe, be careful, see you soon ,THANKYOU ❤😊, 👍
