@Adam McMillin While I'm sure you have found a solution by now, this may help the next person. I couldn't use the stock hip belt straps on my talon 33 (strange as the ones on my talon 22 fit fine with about 2" of excess strap per side). I instead bought some 1" webbing and new clip and replaced the stock strap. Works perfect now
I'm spending lockdown watching your videos, Paul! Inspiring and informative in equal measure. I'm based in London, and looking forward to the Spring when (hopefully) will be able to head back out to the hills.
Nice one mate, I do a very similar set up with the talon 44, and I’d definitely recommend putting water in the bladder and placing it in the pack first because it’s a sod trying to do it after 😂 Thanks for sharing Atb Mark
Thanks fellas. To be honest I don't usually use a bladder and it only arrived shortly before filming. I'll be sure to fill it up before packing the rest of my equipment in the back pack. Thanks for watching
I’ve just ordered the Talon 44 from Trekkit. I don’t actually have any camping kit to put in it yet, but I thought I’d start with the backpack and go from there!!
Osprey do great packs . If u can keep your weight for the three main items of backpack , sleeping bag /quilt and tent as close to 3kg or under that's a great start , the stuff will also be smaller and fit on in your pack easier:) often some great deals on ebay especially for tents ⛺ :)
@@Foxtrottangoabc thanks for the tip! The Talon 44 arrived yesterday and I'm very happy with it. I gave it a test run on a walk before work this morning, just stuffed it full of stuff including my Talon 11 and Syncro 20! 😁
New sub here Paul. Really like your straightforward presentation. So many you tubers are trying to be master film makers. You focus on the content and I like that. Suggestion ; pack the hat and gloves nearer the top. They can increase comfort on short stops or off/on during a walk where waterproofs or jacket aren't yet needed. Obviously less needed in hot weather. Bladder has already been mentioned. Going abroad ? Airport security get a bit touchy about empty bottles.....so make sure they're not in your pack but visible out on the tray with your liquids bag. For real penny pinchers a roll up water bottle can more easily be refilled in the toilets sink after clearing security. It's always drinkable (in Europe ) and usually tasteless. Otherwise the airport bar are legally obliged to offer free drinking water in the UK just like any other pub. Happy travels everyone. John.
Dear PM. Its good seeing you. Your on point with that get up you got. How are you? Please may I take a moment of your time to thank you for displaying whats hot whats not for a quicky overnighter. Gives a new concept on wild camping as I myself went big with deuter. You done great rocking that small lot. I love it. Very smart. Be good. Look forward to your outing. Always good to see some grub getting knocked up. Not like you to not pack a few tinnys mind? Goodbye from Craig Lee White. Cornwall. UK.
Cracking video again Paul, it always amazes me what you can fit in your packs, Morrison’s Picnic ? 4 for a quid 😂😂😂 looking forward to the next adventure mate. Atb Tony
Impressive. That tent is phenomenal. Do watch out for those wipes, only a few makes are biodegrade most contain lots of nylon which is a shame to leave behind by accident.
Cracking that mate should be known as the osprey magicians hat lol. Watching this type of vid really makes me realise i need to go lighter lol, start with new sleep bag or quilt and ill go from there . Cheers for sharing this oh and 6kg??? no more mountain goat more mountain float lol cheers for sharing Paul very informative. Steve
I need to do something to keep up with you on the fells mate. It's surprising when you have a smaller pack and have to choose what items to put in it, you can sacrifice a lot of gear that you don't really need. See you in a week or so 👍
@@PaulMessner that's what I need to do sacrifice a few things. Thanks I love how I keep picking up tips from you and others, in this game its continuous improvement and these vids really help. Yeah see you then 👌
I can't fit all that in my Hikelite 32 so obviously that extra litre must make all the difference ;) Seriously impressive. My sleeping bag (RAB Ascent 900) seems to fill up half the bag on its own, even pulled down in a compression sac as far as I'll dare. I guess it's a bulky bag or I'm a wimp pulling on the straps :) I was already impressed what you got in the 48!
you could switch out the pack for a Montane Trailblazer 30 which has an amazing stretch pocket as well, and it would save you 110g. For summer camping you could get away with having a pub meal before going up a mountain and camping and just bring snack bars for breakfast to save the weight of the stove and food. Amazing vids never the less, keep it up!
Multi-day trips I often call for dinner at the pub. I've looked at the montane packs and they look pretty good. I do have a little bit have a soft spot for osprey as I've always found their packs to be brilliant
Good videos and only came across the channel recently. Hiwever, you have 3 water carriers all empty, so your going to be adding 3kg (2l bladder and 2x 500ml bottles?) to the packed weight.
Thanks Paul, I am a 60 year old who has camped all his life. I am thinking of doing some back country fly fishing and wanted to travel as light as possible!
Cracking video Paul. Amazing. Are you going to do a video on how you store your gear at home. I am finding my garage is like a mini go outdoors. I have plastic boxes labelled hammock gear, stoves, etc. Plus have laminate cards for gear in each pack. Great video loved it 👍🏻👍🏻
Just out of curiosity, how often do you go camping? Love your channel btw, watching your videos made me go out and get some equipment and start myself :D
I was expecting to see all sorts hanging off that pack, but nope, fitted quite well. Can you get any water in the bladder with the pack that full? I don't use mine much anymore as it eats up so much pack space. However.... another magnet :O
I’ve not been backpacking for years Paul so just sorting out some modern kit. Interested to know why you use the alcohol stove over a gas stove , say a rocket burner which is pretty light? I remember I stopped using one as they messed up my pans and I had a leak once which left all my kit stinking of fuel. I liked the speed of gas, especially when it’s cold. So just a thought, perhaps in kit reviews or load outs, perhaps explain why one tent over another, or one jacket over another, as it helps understand the logic of why you’ve taken it. Sorry, as an ex soldier I like to know the details. Loving all your videos tho, better than 99.9% on the tv and certainly relaxing after a day at work! Thanks
Are you physic Paul?, I did exactly the same test at the weekend with my talon 33,minus the alpkit soloist tent, which is on the way now, its amazing how much you can get in to this pack, as soon as the tent is here I'm off 🙂👍
My osprey Exos 48 plus my gear is also around 5.5kg with my summer sleeping bag. With my winder sleeping bag however 6.5kg. If i do a 6 day trip in the winter my pack weighs around 10-13kg depending on the gear and the amount of water.
Nice packing job! Love my osprey hydration pack, I use my sawyer to direct fill without having to take out. So handy. Will have to rewatch this a few times.
I’m going camping with my brother next week in Cumbria, I started off glamping(don’t judge me haha) and now we’ve got more and more down to earth each time. Thanks for everything you do man, absolutely brilliant
Where there is a will there is a way ! I always find a way to bring a little something along with me . I find ale to be a life saver and will ALWAYS try to have a few no matter ! Regardless of abv beer is mostly treated h2o and high in carbohydrates and safer/easier to drink than filtered trail water . Not sayin to not drink water but would be happier having 12oz of beer vs water any day
This video came at the perfect time. I'm going camping for the first time soon, and was worried about having a 33L bag to fit it in. My problem will come with fitting in climbing gear also
Sorry, which tent is that? Can you recommend a decent affordable, lightweight tent? Also, the alcohol burner. Is that a Trangia? What are the advantages of a Jetboil system? Thx. Great vid.
Nice one. Heading out for a 5-6 night trip in a few days. Was worried i might not fit everything in my Talon 44. But now i'm a bit more confident i'll be fine. I have roughly the same items, will just be bringing more food and a few more layers.
I'm a new subscriber and have been watching several of your videos. Nice job on the camps and gear videos, your presentation skills are top shelf! All the best, Gordon
Nice one paul , I have that bag or is it the 22 . Anyway you have packed everything required for an overnighter and kept the weight right down . Might have to try that myself . Atb Dave 👍🏻
Wow that it light I'm used to carrying 20 to 35 kg on a camp but I'm a wildcamper/bushcrafter so have axe knife saw ect I'm looking at doing some camps like you do so a big change for me thanks for sharing atvb jimmy 🤘🤘🤘
Awesome Paul, after watch your and many other UA-camrs I'm starting to rethink how to pack my backpack better. I still have a long way to achieve that light or ultralight kit! Well done, thank you 💪
It doesn't matter how much the pack weighs as long as you're happy carrying the weight. Gear nice to have getting out and enjoying the outdoors is the main thing
I'd bet you could shave some weight by ditching the following. 1) Headlamp case and extra headlamp 2) One of your water bottles. With the Sawyer bag, bladder and a single 2L plastic bottle you're well covered. 3) large ziplocks, switch for smaller ones or none. Unknown Micro toothpaste. Earplugs dont need a case really. First aid kit looks fairly beefy for a single night. All in all great job if looking to go light.
If you don’t have a pack at all that’s true ultra light, but does that mean you’re just going for a walk in the woods as opposed to a hike in the woods?
Searched Talon 44 and your video popped up. Wanted to see what folks say about the talon as I have the 22,33&44 had them absolutely years. They are great packs and one of the lighter ones from osprey I think. Amazing what fits in the 33. Have they changed over the years or pretty much the same? I think I'll try one of mine more often. Did you use pack liner? I'm typing as it runs in background not listening to every word lol
Nicely done Paul, I used a Talon 33 for years for one nighters, no problem at all. Replace the water bottles with cleaned out 500ml Coke bottles, same thread as the Sawyers filter then use the filter like a straw, can even ditch the squeeze bag. The water bladder is decent, I've got one of them too. 👍🏼
Hello Paul. Can I ask where you purchase your fuel for your stove from? Just purchased something similar but unsure where best and cheapest place to go for alcohol fuel for the stove. Thanks
Hey Paul how is your rucksack when it full and the water bladder full? I found in my Kestrel 48 that the full water bladder takes some of the inner volume of the bag
Hi Paul. You didn't get the dimensions measured for your fully packed Osprey Talon 33? It looks great with everything in it. Thing being will it pass Carry on Luggage (Light) on the Airplane? Making saving instead of paying standard prices for Check in Luggage. Would you recommend this backpack for a minimalist camp with a Soulo in mind? It's worth an investment right? From Craig Lee. UK.
good show.backpack size is confussing.1 your talon 33 looks very big.2 other 30/34 backpacks can look quite small.I took my noname 25L to the shops,4L milk a loaf of bread.Not really a lot of room for anything else,surprized as my thinking was my shopping wasnt much more than 8L but there sure wernt 17L to spare in my rucksack.Liking the look of the talon 33 but i think they stopped making them.A 30L decathlon model caught my eye,but it looks like a small 30L.Are some backpacks real stretchy and can expand 5+L more than advertized ? cheers.
Thanks again Paul! i was considering getting a exos but since getting a smaller tent and sleeping bag i'm wondering if i can fit it all into my 27 liter lowe apline pack. did you pack your folding cup for your coffee or were you planning on using the stove pan?
Mmm… that’s not merely enough water for half a day. You didn’t even filled the water bag ! Please, don’t tell me you use the filter… 😵💫 Nor even enough food. You should think that in cold weather you eat much more. That’s not for real life. Just theories 🤣🤣🤣
i have some herniated disc problems, nothing major but problematic, i think i will gonna buy this for a short treking and camping trip (2 km), i intend not to surpass 6kg, my tent is 1.3 kg, sleeping bag is 1.2 kg, the sleeping pad is 500grams, camera in almost 1kg lol, and the rest just food, oh yes and the bag witch is 1kg .... I am kinda contrained, hope this bag will do the job well. I already have a osprey talon 11 wich somehow i managed to fit everithing but you can imagine how bulgy that thing was after i cremed all in and on the exterior lol lol
Love Osprey kit Paul but have also just bought a Montane Halogen 33 as well. Must admit I prefer Platypus Hydration to the Osprey one though. I've just done the same packing exercise for my Pyrenees trip, don't have to carry food or a tent etc as it's a catered trip but s/bag etc for 4 days. Got all in under 10kgs including 2ltrs of water into a Osprey Stratos 36.

Good setup. What tent is that? Looks crazy light (I use a Black wolf mantis UL but that looks lighter).
hilliberg akto

Subscribed. I don’t understand how I’m so interested. Absolutely fantastic. Keep up the good work. Keep the videos coming!
Well done, great video, thanks!
Keep compass away from magnet, will give false reading & could reverse polarize it especially kept in lid pocket

Mate are you using a lavallier mic to an external sound recorder and then sync them in the edit?
No. That's a rode wireless microphone
Cracking video mate. Only problem I can see and I don’t mean to be critical here but where did you put the bloody beer? All the best.

Most things in the packed stays the same apart from additional food and maybe your item of clothing. I'm sure you'll be fine
Almost Teutonic efficiency there Paul. Very impressive weight indeed, be easy on the knees that, but you’ve still got all the luxuries.
Thanks for watching as usual Del. There's a few luxuries and I even think I can squeeze a couple of beers in

I just picked up a Talon 33.
I will be using it for a 2 night trip. Should be fun to see how I get on with this new pack.
Great set-up ! Just think about the water bladder. You should fill it first and then pack the rest, it takes space.
My last pack for a 3 night stay weighed 30kg.
I have no idea how.
It nearly killed me, haha
I just bought it and I really amaze how u can pack all that gears in Osprey Talon 33L, wish that I can pack just like u did..
Paul for the talon 33 do you use an Osprey cover or another. I’ve just got one from eBay following watching your vid.
Nice one Paul, but what about a couple of beers?
Did I hear you right when you said just under 6 kg?
That is correct Daniel
Hi Paul....many thanks very informative vid...….the 6kg weight.....did the water bladder and bottles contain water....they looked empty on the vid?
The weight was everything except water. The bladder and bottles were empty as you correctly spotted.
Thanks Paul.@@PaulMessner
Paul this is such a fantastic video. Multiple angles keep it interesting, simple explanations, well spoken, what a joy to watch!
I'd bet you could shave some weight by ditching the following.
1) Headlamp case and extra headlamp
2) One of your water bottles. With the Sawyer bag, bladder and a single 2L plastic bottle you're well covered.
3) large ziplocks, switch for smaller ones or none.
Unknown
Micro toothpaste. Earplugs dont need a case really. First aid kit looks fairly beefy for a single night.
All in all great job if looking to go light.
also cut all your tent poles in half and cut all the straps off your backpack.... go lite or go home!!
If you don’t have a pack at all that’s true ultra light, but does that mean you’re just going for a walk in the woods as opposed to a hike in the woods?
After watching this , i could go much lighter, nice one Paul
Glad you found it useful Toby
Great pack out well done any wait to see the in use video!

They are great packs and one of the lighter ones from osprey I think. Amazing what fits in the 33. Have they changed over the years or pretty much the same? I think I'll try one of mine more often. Did you use pack liner? I'm typing as it runs in background not listening to every word lol
Nicely done Paul, I used a Talon 33 for years for one nighters, no problem at all.
Replace the water bottles with cleaned out 500ml Coke bottles, same thread as the Sawyers filter then use the filter like a straw, can even ditch the squeeze bag.
The water bladder is decent, I've got one of them too. 👍🏼
Good to know Robin. I've not user it in anger yet so I'm looking forward to testing it out properly 👍
What I do is unscrew my filter and wrap the squeeze bag around it and it slots in the front pocket better :)
@@tictachikes6156 that's a good idea too. I just find the squeeze bag a pain, so don't bother with it.
@frenchie jones that's useful to know, I thought they had a wider neck than Coke bottles.
Hello Paul. Can I ask where you purchase your fuel for your stove from? Just purchased something similar but unsure where best and cheapest place to go for alcohol fuel for the stove.
Thanks
Hey Paul
how is your rucksack when it full and the water bladder full? I found in my Kestrel 48 that the full water bladder takes some of the inner volume of the bag
Hi Paul.
You didn't get the dimensions measured for your fully packed Osprey Talon 33?
It looks great with everything in it. Thing being will it pass Carry on Luggage (Light) on the Airplane? Making saving instead of paying standard prices for Check in Luggage.
Would you recommend this backpack for a minimalist camp with a Soulo in mind?
It's worth an investment right?

good show.backpack size is confussing.1 your talon 33 looks very big.2 other 30/34 backpacks can look quite small.I took my noname 25L to the shops,4L milk a loaf of bread.Not really a lot of room for anything else,surprized as my thinking was my shopping wasnt much more than 8L but there sure wernt 17L to spare in my rucksack.Liking the look of the talon 33 but i think they stopped making them.A 30L decathlon model caught my eye,but it looks like a small 30L.Are some backpacks real stretchy and can expand 5+L more than advertized ? cheers.
Hello.
Great Video, thank's very much !
I love the talon 33 backpack. He is wonderful to wear.
Best regarts from germany,
Thom✌🏼
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. The pack is great 👍
What's the items in the survival kit?
What make is your sleep mat and Tent?
Thanks again Paul! i was considering getting a exos but since getting a smaller tent and sleeping bag i'm wondering if i can fit it all into my 27 liter lowe apline pack. did you pack your folding cup for your coffee or were you planning on using the stove pan?
Folding cup was on top of the cookset. Thanks for watching and let me know if you can get everything in the 27l
Hello where can i buy the tent? Thanks
Mmm… that’s not merely enough water for half a day. You didn’t even filled the water bag ! Please, don’t tell me you use the filter… 😵💫
Nor even enough food. You should think that in cold weather you eat much more.
That’s not for real life. Just theories 🤣🤣🤣
i have some herniated disc problems, nothing major but problematic, i think i will gonna buy this for a short treking and camping trip (2 km), i intend not to surpass 6kg, my tent is 1.3 kg, sleeping bag is 1.2 kg, the sleeping pad is 500grams, camera in almost 1kg lol, and the rest just food, oh yes and the bag witch is 1kg .... I am kinda contrained, hope this bag will do the job well. I already have a osprey talon 11 wich somehow i managed to fit everithing but you can imagine how bulgy that thing was after i cremed all in and on the exterior lol lol
Love Osprey kit Paul but have also just bought a Montane Halogen 33 as well. Must admit I prefer Platypus Hydration to the Osprey one though. I've just done the same packing exercise for my Pyrenees trip, don't have to carry food or a tent etc as it's a catered trip but s/bag etc for 4 days. Got all in under 10kgs including 2ltrs of water into a Osprey Stratos 36.
That's pretty good going for a 4 day trip
5000m of ascent motivates you to pack light!
You just helped me decide to get this model. Great job.
