Hi and thanks for watching,interesting, so Rab own Lowe alpine, I will look into the sack if I don’t get on with just stuffing it in !!! You won’t leave it in there long then as they won’t be any air Cheers Adrian

@@northumberlandmountainhopper Mine is compressed 24 hrs until I reach my Scottish campsite from Northumberland. I pitch & shake it out well upon arrival.

@@simonodell2103 hi thanks for watching, Meaning ? Cheers

Hi and thanks for watching, glad you liked it, really cold then damp then colder lol Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, lol it’s deadly I can still feel it now !!! Cheers Adrian

Hi shaun, thanks for watching, The water must freeze over the pore ? Glad you liked it Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, wow, harsh indeed, poor MLD ! I value your input as a few years ago. You were the commentators (before the sad event) who suggested the army bivy, And I never looked back, but on a different note, this one as the Trailstar tarp were purchased for a specific trip, the MlD bivy as you know has the bug net and is very light at 439gr so ideal for a two week trek, I could not carry your training load lol So tell me what MLD items failed ? They are expensive for sure, Cheers from a bivy

I have an mld super light bivvy with half net. Great in summer wind open desert climate no precipitation. However in high precipitation minimal wind shoulder season with rain immediately got condensation. Started to Wet my sleeping bag so didn't use it under the tarp

Hi and thanks for the comment, be interesting to test this one fully under the tarp, Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, very cold for sure but a nice camp Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, This is why I love the comments, Thanks for the insight, I never thought of that, Cheers Adrian

Hi mick, thanks for watching, Yes cold but always enjoyable, glad you liked it Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching, and a telling off!!! But it’s unjustified in this instance, as on inspection the bivy top was frozen solid, the army can’t breathe through ice either !! I chose this tarp set up for speed due to the time and also I need to test the MLD bivy against the bees knees that is the army bivy, So it will be out again in similar camps lol After I have tested thoroughly we can go back to wrongs and rights Deal ! Cheers from bivy

@@outsidertank hi subbed you when I found you last week Bring on on the bivys

Hi and thanks for watching, It really does work, handy for testing your filter, If you look back I did a review and my sawyer filter failed badly Cheers Adrian

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you liked it If you are under a tarp you don’t always need the hood, but you have the mesh ready though in case of the beasts being bad I want a zip in the army bivy now It’s all money !!! Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, mat on the outside would be better for space, trouble is it all starts to slide about, After getting the MLD bivy for weight I realised just how really big it is, mats go inside regardless of size, so it could probably fit most people, Cheers from the bivy

I'd love to know what you think of it

Hi and thanks for watching, yes it looks good but a bit narrow at the foot end @28 inch so no bigger than the army bivy’s I think my best all round bivy by far is the MLD as it’s so light and so large, Thanks for the suggestion, I love checking out all the bivy’s Cheers from a bivy

@@rayhart7753 hi and thanks for watching, Nice comment ! To be honest they are good compared to what I have seen, the results speak for themselves! Cheers

Shh.. they are fantastic for that price..stop being a nobhed

@OldtricksForolddogthe results speak for themselves

@northumberlandmountainhopper id love a set..im slways about at night whilst camping..

@OldtricksForolddogI could not believe how clear the sheep were it was pitch black, You can’t please everyone lol Cheers

Hi and thanks for watching Will have a look Cheers from the bivy

@@northumberlandmountainhopper From my bivy to yours? lol

Hi Dave thanks for watching, Glad you enjoyed it, Noticed your short of the bivy, Cheers from a bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, you have some good advice, but correct me if I am wrong the foot box is only about 46/48 cm wide in the zipped us bivy My mats are 65 cm wide Hence my choices Please advise if I am correct or incorrect as the price is good Cheers from a bivy

@@northumberlandmountainhopper 33/34 inch shoulders 28ish near feet on miltec one rt hand zip tho

@ hi and thanks Will have to see if I can fit in one with the mat Prior to paying for a zip ! Cheers

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you liked it Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, I nearly always put the mat inside, as you say, stops you sliding off,very rare to get a dead flat spot, the thick winter mat is too tight in the BIVY’S but the MLD bivy gives the space for even the winter mat,might have a look at the issue roll mats, be nice and strong, Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, the observer is pricy but great for sure, Dutch army probably best value, Hunka is great but gets so wet ! See my many vids ! MLD seems well breathable so far so will be my preference for light camps, if it stands up to the use, you can’t fault the army bags at all, Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, Glad you liked the effort, reviews are hard ! Like you say, it’s carrying them around, Certain camps only I feel,where there are deer, Or night walks with the kids Cheers

Hi and thanks for watching, glad you liked it, some good tips from a pro, I have tried stuffing the sleeping bag straight in but it never compresses as much, I will have to try again, I can get comfortable with the Rab 1100 if using the green mat, but now I have the winter mat I have to use the MLD bivy, which is roomy for sure but nowhere near as warm as the army bivy’s, perhaps I will try the mat underneath again. Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, I only have the two ! Cheers

Hi and thanks for watching,glad you liked it,some good thoughts there, MLD bivy at 439 gr can’t be beat, then 530 for the trailstar, 200 for a groundsheet, my only worry is if the wind turns and lifts the tarp I could be wet and I am out for two weeks, I have a Vango F1 helium tent at 1300 gr and also the F2 at 1400 gr so that’s my options, I am at a point where I can’t purchase any more gear for the trip, tent makes more sense I know, but I love the tarps, The Trailstar does feel like a tent to be fair, as would a 3x3 tarp set up in the mushroom configuration, I will probably wait for a forcast the night before I set off and make a decision, knowing it can still change !!! Cheers from a bivy

@@northumberlandmountainhopper understand - if you can afford it a durston xmid in silnylon is affordable and lighter Then there are options from gossamer gear, Henry shires, zpacks etc - it depends on the budget Small double walled tents do not have to be expensive when in silnylon - less room but more weather proof - and you can get them around 1kg (eg nemo) Plenty of options these days

@@Asdf-789yes plenty of good tents but I would use the F2 as I have it, as long as I keep to 15or so kg it’s ok Would not use a new tent very often, Can always sell on I suppose One drawback with both my Trailstar and the Durston is the large footprint Cheers

@@northumberlandmountainhopper yep - I still use my zpacks solo The durston mid footprint is 100”x67” or 2.5m x 1.7m - plus room for guys to stakes

Hi Jimmy, thanks for watching, They are good for sure, More kit to carry unfortunately, I will only take them to camps where there is a chance of deer, as it’s all weight !! I can’t carry your loads lol Cheers from a bivy

Hi and thanks for watching,I use mine with the green 3r mat inside and have space, but nowhere near enough space If I use the winter mat, then it’s either the MLD bivy or put the mat outside, without doubt the Dutch hooped bivy is the best by far, it’s strong, breathable, warm, no bugs, can have the hood down with a tarp, It does not slide about, only drawback is the weight but with a tarp it’s still only 2kg Be interesting to see how this MLD lasts as it has most of the features except strength and warmth, Cheers from a bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, the army BIVY’S are great for sure, Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, And the thoughts Cheers from the bivy

Hi Graham, don’t think the comment was about these goggles, which as you say, work well Cheers

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you enjoyed it Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, Yes the army goretex or three layer laminate are spot on, even with the water on them they breathe Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, It gets harder to get in and out from the top, and if under a tarp even harder, hence why I have gone for zips, The MLD although very good will it last ? I am basically saving it for my Scotland trip and will then use it extensively to see how it lasts. Zips,bug net, hoop and all for 439gr So it is a good bit of kit. Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching Glad you enjoyed it cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching,the Dutch bivy is bomb proof and does it all for sure, If I could guarantee a flat pitch and could put the mat under the bivy it would be my winter bivy, as I often seek odd places to bivy I need the mat inside so it stays put ! A decent winter tent weighs far more and is not as safe as the hooped bivy in a storm, Cheers from a bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, Zip great idea, but it’s rare I pull the hood tight as nearly always under a tarp Cheers from the bivy

Hi and thanks for watching, glad you liked it, I don’t mind the mat outside if under a tarp, but it’s very rare I get a flat pitch so putting it inside stops movement, And the times I use a small tarp, if rain lands on the mat, it has been known to leak/ condense on the inside the Hunka due to a reduced breathable effect, But yes if it’s flat not a problem Cheers from the bivy
