Big Grizzly Outdoors
United Kingdom
Приєднався 24 тра 2020
My name is G and welcome to my Channel Big Grizzly Outdoors! I am rekindling my love of the outdoors after a 16 year absence where I traveled all over the UK and Europe as a keen Rock Climber specializing in Multi Pitch routes. However after I retired from hanging from my fingers I found myself caught up in the rat race and focused on my career in sales.
In 2018 I suffered a head injury at home which left me Epilepsy and after a two year recovery period I find myself again back in the outdoors and learning lots of new skills.
So if you like me are a lover of the great outdoors and camping then follow me on my journey as I discover how to set up shelters, light fires, cook on open flame and genuinely just experience the Great Outdoors.
If you want to keep up to date with all things Big Grizzly then why not check out the Big Grizzly web page where you see what gear I use and catch up on my Blog!

Hi Big Grizzly Outdors. Can I ask what is the brand of your backpack on this video
Hi, I'm not sure...it was purchased from decathlon and wasn't much money. Sorry I can help any more than that. Thanks for watching Atb G 🐾
@@bravogolfoscar note problem at all. Take care out there
@jaja-nw2ft similar to this one www.decathlon.co.uk/p/50l-backpack-for-camping-green/_/R-p-166791
I don’t think the military carried them I’ve seen a few images of the set up around vehicles almost like a check point area , being manned for 24hrs it allowed some to sleep in the daytime being a black out
Which month u have been there ?
Hi! Thanks for watching! This video was shot around mid February. Atb G🐾
Thank you !!!!
You are a talented videographer!
Thanks for watching! Atb G🐾
Why no igniter… all that money and no igniter?
No idea, but a built in igniter would make sense. Thanks for watching, Atb G🐾
I've got to BCB crusader Mark II that one does take a trangia burrner
Great video and outing! amazingly I have collected a very similar kit. Nice to see the Savotta Finnish Defense Forces mat in use. It kept me alive for a year in the service. Same exact Carinthia D4 bag for me. And I've just bought the Snugpak SF bivvy in XL size. I'll try that up in the mountains when it gets colder. But based on your comments if it doesn't really work on its own, I can revert back to my Dutch army hooped bivy that's similar to your MSS in this video, being 3-layer goretex laminated.
Thanks for watching! Atb G🐾
Excellent video.
Thanks for watching! Atb G🐾
Can this tent also be used in winter and snow?
I would feel comfortable using it in snow Atb G🐾
@@bravogolfoscar Thank You
I have the MSR Windburner which uses the same technology, that is an integrated wind screen and radiant heat burner. Not only do I heat my water efficiently I am able to cook eggs and bacon right on a skillet without burning them. Also after removing the skillet or water pot I use the radiant burner as a local (in well ventilated areas)heater. Warming my hands and face for a couple of minutes because of the infrared energy like hot red coals in a fire to do it. Obviously I figure in how much fuel I want to expend for this function.
Thanks for watching! Atb G🐾
This is great 😂
My firemaple paloris and widesea boil water just as fast as this for quarter the price 😂
Thanks for watching! Atb G🐾
Nice
Thanks for watching Atb G🐾
This is a damn cinematic masterpiece. Makes me want to get out there.
Thanks for watching! Atb G🐾
Just as a matter of interest, what makes this a 4 season tent?
It's a Eureka TCOP Tent, US military, you can pick them up on eBay. There are a couple more videos of then tent on the channel if you wanted a deeper dive. Thanks for watching, Atb G🐾
So Luke, misread your question, it has a heavy duty fly, probably the heaviest fly I've seen on a tent ever. The inner has very little netting. In fact there is no light leakage at all when looking from the outside, I guess that's a military thing? The whole kit is heavy for a 1 person tent, it's over 3kgs!
This vid goes into a little more detail ua-cam.com/video/xz9worOn7Vo/v-deo.htmlsi=hkGZcTxfYZz4_YtP
@@bravogolfoscar thank you very much for your reply, i might get one, i hate spending lots of money on a tent with a light fly...🤗

Great video really interesting to watch.Thanks for making it
Thanks for watching! Atb G🐾
Whoa your pace was epic! Congratulations, a pb as well. Huge effort. How long did it take you to build up to this kind of distance,weight and time? Thanks for making this video 👍
I'm not sure really, I started rucking in the November, did the Fan Dance in June, then the Marathon the following April so I would a year to 18 months. If you're interested then a lot of what happened and in what time frame is in my book! bravogolfoscar.com/what-the-ruck-book

Hiya i have just subscribed. I am relatively new to tabbing. Really enjoyed this video cant wait to watch your other videos. Thanks for making it. Sam from Yorkshire 👍
Hey Sam, thanks for watching! And welcome to Tabbing! There are a few videos on the channel that may help This one maybe a good place to start! ua-cam.com/video/BeiMZ6KoaUg/v-deo.htmlsi=fk15vUmyBuef5o-M This one was a 20 mile tab! ua-cam.com/video/M3o8ECHrJiQ/v-deo.htmlsi=GCAOWK9R4v-ZjlAt I was also recently on the Debrief Podcast with former SAS Trooper Big Phil Campion, which you may want to check out!!!! ua-cam.com/video/bxHgrI8jLQs/v-deo.htmlsi=Jh1S3BHiFi0MEujw Atb G🐾
@@bravogolfoscar Thank you very much for taking the time to reply, i really appreciate that. Im going to watch your suggestions now. 👍
New viewer and sub'd. I recently ordered an un-issued TCOP. Not a stealth camper but wanted a tent that wasn't mountaineering orange. When I was in the Marines, we had shelter halves! I intend to mark the "shorter" pole. Next, set it up in the yard and check the seams. Straight forward review. Really looking forward to using this tent. Impressed with your video library.
Hi Casey, glad you enjoyed the video! I've the TCOP for quite a while now and still enjoy using it! Maybe check out this video of the tent in some harsher weather! Atb G🐾 ua-cam.com/video/D0bcpqZn6g8/v-deo.htmlsi=Eny6LlURNUFx_RGt

Hi G found your channel from reading your book great book by the way nearly finished it 👌 can I ask what the danner tachyon are like size wise been looking at them but I have quite a wide foot so I sure to stick with a 12uk or go for a 13 ? If you can help with any advice that would be great. Stay safe and keep not giving a ruck 💪
Hi Craig! Glad you're enjoying the book!!!! I found the sizing to be pretty accurate, I too have a wide foot. As you would have seen from the video I lace them up to take this into consideration. Danner however do a wide fit in the Tachyons and may try the wider fit. Thanks again, all the best G 🐾
Perfect video I wish more videos were done this way. ❤
Thanks for watching! Quite a few videos of the same style on the channel. Atb G🐾
Wow can't believe I've found this, I've always been a bit perplexed about folk raving about gel stoves. I was using the Swiss gel stove throughout my british army career during the late 80s, 90s it fitted perfectly in your pouch, making a brew in a jiffy. Happy days
Hi! Firstly...thank you for your service! Glad you enjoyed the vid, thanks for watching. Maybe consider subscribing, there's of vids which should take you back to your Ar.y day! Atb G🐾
New here Sir. Looking for a tent camping site video s . With actual camping content..might of found it.
Glad you're enjoying the channel! Atb G🐾
Hexamine has been deemed illegal to own or use in the UK now guys, penalty up to two years in prison. I am switching back to alcohol stoves, annoying but needs must.
Didn't know that! Thanks for for the info 👍 Atb G🐾
Just receive mine, it gets its first outing in Wales next week, very excited.
Enjoy!
Exceptionally epic video and great bivy too! Utilizing quite the same gear over here in Austria. Keep up the good work, bring in the fun🫡
Thanks for watching! Atb G🐾
hello, which trek is more scenic, west highland way or great glen way? and which potentially got less midges ?
Hi! I've not actually done the West Highland Way yet so can't really compare. With regards midges, if you avoid late spring and summer and plan you hike mid to late autumn you should avoid the midges. Thanks for watching Atb G🐾
@@bravogolfoscar yes.. but does it mean that doing it during summer can be horrible?
It's all weather dependent, if Scotland has a hot dry summer, then yes it could be miserable, however if its mild, wet and a bit windy it won't be so bad.
Time to get out. Cause I really enjoyed that.
Nowt too it tha twat. Yorkshireman , Simon. I was in infantry tha nows
UA-cams algorithm brought me here after watching loads of 'kent survival' 'east anglian bushcraft' etc. Loving your videos.....theyre works of art !!! Just subbed. Great stuff 😊 👍

Man's gotta eat, thanks for watching Atb G🐾
I can.
@scottmiller8354 then just, you know…sit down then? 🤷♂️
This is the hardest fucking thing I’ve ever done in my life. Don’t underestimate it. You’ll remember the leg cramps for the rest of your life.
This video is a couple of years old now. I've actually done the Fan Dance twice. And yes, I did get woken in the night after with horrendous cramps! If you're intersection I have a book out about my journey, from head injury to Tabbing the London Marathon. bravogolfoscar.com/what-the-ruck-book
What the Ruck Just Happened! Great title! Yeah, I’ll read it mate. Best of luck to you in your future endeavours.
Ive just been using meths in this cooker without a trangia or fire rope or anything. Is that a no no?? I've found that filling the little cup in the base will happily boil a full 750ml pot of water.... which is all I want really!?
I wouldn't say that's a no no, sounds like a really good idea! 👌 Atb G🐾

Great music! What's the name of the first song?
Hi Marcus, I'm not sure what the song is, however when I get a chance I'll have a look for you. Thanks for watching! Atb G🐾
@@bravogolfoscar Thank you for your video. The fact that you don't say anything gives it such a calming atmosphere. But one also learn something!
A stove should be able to heat water, cook food, and use different pot/pans, this stove is a one trick pony that is heavy & expensive. Its a rubbish stove, poor value for money.
A variety of pans are now available for this stove, but as you've pointed out....they to are expensive. Thanks for watching, Atb G🐾
I agree overpriced just like jet boil save yourself 300 dollars and go buy a 50 dollar widesea cook kit with jetboil unit there awsome and just as fast if not faster

Hi! Are you still here? I have a question.
Still here!
@@bravogolfoscar nice! I consider buying this tent, but have recently noticed that its width at both ends is 55 cm. I am wondering if it is possible to squeeze a 64 cm sleeping pad into it, or the pad will protrude too much. What do you think?
I think that would be a bit tight, my biggest mat is 55cm wide and I'm sure it takes up most of the room
@@bravogolfoscar thanks! I feel like buying this tent, but it seems I am destined for Akto.
@@levandeur3574 Hi! My Rapide SL (64cm) fits into the Abisko. It stretches the inner a bit, but it is not a problem so far. :)
Highlander stove has a higher standoff so will take longer to cook and buy the way just bought 4 of them from Winfields in Chester for £2 each
