Haversack and bedroll

- Hello, in this little video I head off to a nice spot to experiment with a haversack and bedroll with a view to camping ( at some point) with it.
I may need to take the odd bit of kit out or add bits in but before I overnight with this type of set-up I will set out on walks and day camps with it to test it out.
Thanks for Watching 👍
Very glad to see this “junk on the bunk” with the Helikon Tex haversack. I have the same bag & wish I hadn’t purchased it. Because it’s TOO big. Damn thing is like an artists portfolio hip-bumping along down the trail. However it would be excellent for what haversacks were originally designed for. To venture from camp (& one’s main pack) to re provision. The sack is spacious enough to carry groceries. Eggs. Produce. A load of bread. Or all of the aforementioned and a tarp just in case main camp isn’t made back before night/weather. Anyhow the thing about all bags is they depreciate down to nothing the minute they’re purchased. Heck I bought 2 Gregory Jade 60 packs at Goodwill recently for $9 each. One gray the other lime. Currently using the lime one for my suburban trekking/rucking exercises.
Nice spot for a brew you found there
Wow, your video sure resonated with me , Im in Germany and I recorded myself with all my stuff setting up my tarp food, stove etc... only to find funny dog walkers and insecure about making a fire. I sure dislike that feeling, here you better follow the rules or you get a big fine and they call police on you for just about anything, so I left and did not upload my video, planning to try again this winter.👍🏻
Gorgeos spot mate. Speak soon.

That's a cracking spot mate , cracking view from camp , looks like quality gear too , that would be a nice camp in the spring atb 👍
I clicked on as quick as a could thinking you had a bacon roll in bed! Wasn’t disappointed though…it’s always a pleasure watching mate👍
Very nice video. Enjoyed watching it. Thanks. Have a wonderful day.
Nice video mate, beautiful spot. Getting a nice collection of quality gear there man 👌
Hey Mate, I just got a cotton canvas haversack (ex Romanian military) off eBay ! Been thinking along similar lines to yourself. Not sure I can pull it off - but isn’t there something nice and different about a small bag with all your gear just slung over your shoulder 👍 And in busy, non-camping areas, I think it draws less attention too. Thanks for sharing that Mark 😊👍
Nice demo of trying out kit and getting settled with it before going on an overnighter.
Nice one Mark, I keep meaning to do a bedroll and Haversack camp. It really is nice to strip things back to just the essentials from time to time and I liked the setup you had there. Maybe when the weather improves a little! That looked like a lovely spot too 👍
Surprising how much came out of that bag. I was waiting for a kitchen sink like gag! Nice peaceful spot there mate ATB
Hello, a nice set. I'm a fan of wool blankets - they provide reliable warmth. I've currently switched to the "Swagman Roll" from Helikon-Tex. A poncho inlet that you can also convert into a sleeping bag.
I did an early Jan camp with a luxury bed roll of bivvi, ground mat, air mattress, sleeping bag. It was more the size of a pillow than a roll 😂
Definately the way to go, we are all guilty of taking too much stuff into the woods and not using it. Looking forward to your first night out with this gear Mark.👍
It's nice to see one of these vids in the UK. The gears virtually identical to my own! Helikon satchel, wool blanket, poncho, tealight uco candle lantern etc.,
Yes mate. I got inspired for swag set up Scötty goes walkabout. Wynnchester bedroll. Not cheap, but no need for tent or rucksack, so lots of weight and cost savings. I also recommend the 3/4 weight on back and 1/4 on front in dilly bag for food and liquids. It takes the weight of lumber spine and makes it easier to walk upright. It's a whole new level, also a lean to tarp if it does get wet. Cheers mate.
I would dump pots n pans for water bttle nesting cup n lid ( and take 2 of set ) wind shield would be aluminium foil baking trays from £1 land etc with sticks to hold it up
Nice set up, years ago I camped a few times with a Czech army bed roll with an old Yugoslavian haversack and an Austrian poncho as a tarp it was quite lightweight and carried well , I should dig it out again - it’s more of a 2 season set up ,good fun though got a few funny looks I think it is a bit knight of the road stylee , all the best Mick
