    I use bungee cords, cheating but quick set up for tarp. Tie guys with several loops in to corners of tarp so you have adjustment. Easy to adjust dependent on weather.

    Happy New 2023 to You and Jo. Great way to start the new year camping and cooking with the tried and true Trangia alcohol stove. Your dinner looked cooked perfectly and the seasonings looked amazing... no doubt everything tasted delicious. Always enjoy seeing you fix a proper meal.

  • @markl2815
    @markl2815 2 роки тому +3

    The reason for putting up tarp on arrival is
    to give a group dry area
    To ensure the gear outside is protected
    To provide some weather cover
    Mostly, it’s a thing to set up then have one or all of you tinker with to try to figure where the water should drip.
    Nothing is wrong with that, everyone needs a hobby and a tarp is worth it when appropriate

    Tarp' needs a centre or off centre pole if it's set high up. A pyramid.
    Set it out square & use a branch (padded at the top with fleece) in the centre, to tighten it all up.
    Job done.

    I love all the full on cooking that you do up the hills Paul. I'm always puzzled how you clean pans up afterwards to use the next day. Lots of meat and veg leaves a lot of grease! Be great to learn how to clean things afterwards while on the top of some hill! Thanks for all the videos and tips.

    As somebody who has made the same mistake more times than I’d care to admit, I winced when you put the Trangia out at the end there with the gasket-sealed cap instead of the simmer ring. It’s just a cheap o-ring replacement and no big deal (and I tend not to keep fuel in the burner anyway), but I always beat myself up about it.

    • @PaulMessner
      @PaulMessner  2 роки тому +1

      I always take the o-ring out if I need to use the cap to extinguish the flame. I’ve shown me doing that in previous videos. It’s a fair comment to point out for people though 👍🏻

    • @justinmarrington8039
      @justinmarrington8039 2 роки тому

      @@PaulMessner Ah, fair. Sorry to assume 😅. Do you prefer the cap for extinguishing, out of curiosity? (I've definitely noticed that in breezy conditions with a strong flame it can be...difficult...to make the simmer ring actually snuff the flame).

    After watching Tony's vids for a while I keep meaning to try the tent and tarp combo but when I'm in the woods I usually bring the hammock. I sometimes use my poncho as an extra admin area over the tent doors if need be but having that much more extra room to move about might be a game changer!? How do you feel about it Paul?

  • @TonyNelsonCamping
    @TonyNelsonCamping 2 роки тому

    Happy New Year, Paul.
    For some reason, I love camping in the winter. Maybe it's the sound of the rain on the tent. 😬
    I went out on a solo overnight last night, the wind was pumping I couldn't even light a fire for dinner and had to settle for snacks instead.
    This morning I could enjoy my cheese grillers and eggs at least.
    Thanks for this video and all your effort.

  • @markmcmullan1123
    @markmcmullan1123 2 роки тому

    Always enjoy your vids. Thanks.
    Also, I'm quite interested in bags/quilts at the minute and it seems like comfort/movement is a big selling point that's difficult to read about. I (think I) recall in a previous video you also had a Sierra Designs Cloud. If you get stuck for ideas it would be great to hear a bit more about bag pros and cons. Essentially as both this Rab and the SDcloud seem to suggest quilt-ish advantages.

All the best for new year and your lovely wife Joe. All so family and friends.

  • @AntSurviveTheNight
    @AntSurviveTheNight 2 роки тому

    Gorgeous woodland that mate and an ideal area for a good hammock camp judging by the amount of trees that are spread out.
    Yeah, I tend to just use 5 knots but like you say if you don't practice them they easily slip from mind.
    Some top food cooked up for the evening meal Paul and time too with the sausage in a morning is a must isn't it.
    I do also like that sleeping bag, ones I've had in the past are hard work, you tend to be wrapped up in them and can't find the zip to get out. Santa brought me the amazing Alpkit 600 which I am loving. Its definitely something I know I can trust on a cold night.
    Cheers pal 👍

    Is it even possible to know the amount of burn time you would get from a litre?
    As a complete noob these are questions that spring to mind. I will continue to do some research but if anyone can help that would be appreciated😅. Love the content, will be binge watching your channel for sure haha
