Awesome vid dude. I’m totally with you on the gps thing. I’m currently running a Garmin Rino 750 because of the gps/radio ability…. I hate it. Im down grading to a small gps that runs AA batts, and a smaller radio. The Rino chews through battery like it’s no one’s business. Im going to go back to AA/AAA battery things because you can always carry extra batteries and you’ll be sweet. The Rino has a Lithium battery pack that costs $100 a pop. F*** spending hundreds of extra batt packs for a $750+ piece of kit… smaller gps can go a week on 2x AA’s and a hand held GPS can go 30+ hours on 1 charge. Loving this Vids HD. Keep ‘em coming
Awesome seeing more vids mate , always love your work ,no bullshit gear dump, no brand name sponsors script lingo. No need for the flash bits and the kitchen sink hey,Warm barrels bud 👍
great bit of info man yar proper basic gear mate not into freeze dried food bit like you man you got every thing you need mate i need to get one of personal eperb devices what ever they called, one thing i haven't got i normally pritty good in the bush but if you still far from camp and its black as dark you know what its like in thick forest black as its hard to navigate if you not got your bearing about you, good stuff mate good hunting
Hey mate, how are you going with the exped now? I’m tossing up between the ultra 5r and dura 8r, do you find the 5r is warm and comfortable enough a year in? What temps are you getting down to with it? I want the comfort but the 8r is getting up there in weight!
@@jimmyk956 love my 5r. Missus got a 5r DURA ,BIT heavier but looks tougher... I camp year round, last week -6 👍👍. Camped on top of snow with it also. I love mine
@@jimmyk956 I once had a LW9, was soooo comfy. But bulky an heavy! I think youl be fine with 5r , it will sell of you dislike it... We rekon the Dura is certainly a stronger/tougher mat though.
@jimmyk956 dude there is a 7R which is 9cm thick!? good for -30 it saying. im contemplating one for my shoulders, i struggle side sleeping now days an may need a few extra CMs
@@HillDogTV just looking at that now, I’m a side sleeper as well, need the thickness and width, might go the rectangle MW, 790 grams, I can live with that!
i think discontinued few year ago now an maybe re named ? theres a hundred different Vango models! all slightly different to the other!? not much help though unless ya find one online somewhere stil in stock
ive broken the Poles on mine an want replacmeents but Also only in the UK. bit of a spewww but might be worth sussing about combine posting a tent plus extra poles !?! i might send some emails this week coming. PM me on FB page an discuss any further proceedings
great informative vid mate great for myself and other new hunters to see you dont need to waste ur money on needless brand name shit to get out there
Totally agree… I made the mistake of the Rino 750 and expensive clothing… now I’m back to basics and have have just as much success.
Awesome to hear, Legend!
Good 1 Hilly. I rate home made venison jerky when hunting for light weight protein anytime. Its more filling than you think.
Definatly left the jerky out...... when i got it, il smoke it but otherwise youre spot on, a great protien punch! thanks Dave

As dave 9.3 said, pack some venison jerky for protein, can’t go wrong

Thanks mate, appreciate it! Looks like the ultra 5R will be plenty and the 8R overkill. Cheers
