- in this film we review the Snugpack Elite 3 sleeping bag. Bushcraft and Adventure is what we live for. Myself and Billy dog love nothing more than being outside testing our skills in any environment and we don't mind a little filming along the way on some of our trips. In this film we are once again out and about showcasing what we do and passing on skills and experience to the great UA-cam audience and our friends who watch our films. #Bushcraft #Survival #Livelifeoutdoors

Atb Rick n Billydog
Thats a great review on what looks like a great bag
Cheers Wiley, aye it's a good bit of kit 🙂. Cheers n thanks for watching and the comment 👍
Nice vid been looking at bags so this was helpful 👍🏽
Definitely worth putting on your short lost Dave. I like it. My Mrs used it the last couple of nights and loved how comfortable it is 👍. Cheers fella , Rick 👍
Absolutely class this video! A great review along with hilarious stories.
I must admit I’m now scared of going camping with you now that you say your an ace murder! 😂.
I like the idea of being able to make it smaller, would be perfect for Charlie now and also to grow in to.
Spot on review man, loved it!
Haha cheers Ant lol 😃😃. Gotta have a laugh ain't ya 🙂. Thanks mate, recon one would be ace for Charlie 👍. Be as snug as a bug in a rug wrapped up in his hammock too. 🙂. Cheers Ant, see ya soon fella 👍
Congratulations on eventually reaching and surpassing that 1k Subs mark - well deserved.
Cheers Robert thanks mate 🙂👍. Thanks for the support fella, yer a good man 👍
This just popped up, first of your videos I watched a while back then I bought that bag. Was worth the rewatch. "Yer in the shit!" Brilliant!
Haha cheers Micky 😀😀
17:10 pmsl did you not see that crazy man with the axe behind you 🤣🤣🤣 you had me in stitches 🤣🤣 now im going to watch the rest👍👍
It's a fantastic bag that suits those with broader shoulders and chest; and I've never been cold in it.
Superb review btw!
Cheers R 🙂🙂👍
Fantastic review Rick. Very entertaining with some of the jokes in there. Say hi to Billy.
Will do , cheers Mitchell. P.s we got the foraging pouch the other day. Very nice 🙂. Will definitely be using it soon 🙂👍.
Great review
Cheers, thankyou 👍. Its a nice bit of kit. Thanks for watching and the comment 🙂👍
Great review and bag Rick 👍. I love mine...... plus with me been short I have the luxury of clipping the footbox underneath and doubling up on the insulation 😉. Yeah I agree, having handle at the bottom of the compression bag would be a help. I think the same whenever I use mine. It is the little things that finish things off properly. I let it them off because its a decent bag lol. Great job mate, totally agree with all the points you made. Great seeing Billy Boy on camera..... I missed him on the last trip. Take care Rick..... speak soon mate, all the best, Mark 😀🌲🔥.
Cheers Mark, aye he loves being out with me does Billy. I've been on a canoe trip today without him so hes sulking at the moment. I'll get him out for a good blast tonight and cheer him up 😃😃. Aye they're a good bag for sure. Funny how it's the little bits that we notice with kit. I suppose if they're pretty good at everything else it only leaves the little bits to stand out 🙂. Cheers Mark, hope you're having a great week 👍. Rick n Billy
Brilliant Rick. Enjoyed every word. I've used this bag everywhere for some years. Under my tarp, in my tent and in my bivvy bag. Probably not as much as you but enough to safely say to someone, 'get one.' All the best buddy. Mark
Hey good stuff Mark 👍. That's two good shout outs for it . They are good arent they for the money . Cheers Mark, hope you're well. Had a good day canoeing a local river today. The birds were out in force. Hundreds of sand Martin's at eye level and lower skimming the flies off the surface of the water. Was great paddling through the middle of them 🙂
@@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969 That's cool Rick. A great British fave mate. Hey a super time out on the river. Can't ask for more.
have an elite 4. brilliant bag
Aye they are good arent they 👍
Cheers fella
Nice one , getting this bag now ! Subbed.
Cheers Andrew, yeh its a good bit of kit 👍 . I'll be in mine somewhere Friday night 🙂👍
Nice one Rick, i had a good laugh at the axe man comments haha
true story here, on a camp with The Northern Nomad and all night i was cold wondering how a sleeping bag can just suddenly fail.. next morning i realise i had in inside out :0 ha ha ha proper school boy error.
great vid mate,
Mike.
Haha quality lol. It happens doesn't it 😃. You'll not make that mistake again though 😃😃. Cheers for watching Mike 👍
I have the Elite 2 and really rate it. I really like the expander, being on the large size, it makes it really comfy. It’s a great bag for summer and autumn. Not tried it yet, but I’m thinking to use it with some British Army Softie trousers and my Snugpak pile shirt with some British Army Artic socks next week instead of my excellent but very heavy British Army medium sleeping bag.
Yeh I reckon that combination will be good 🙂👍, I'd definitely try it anyway.
Aye they are good bags arent they, Akways have mine on the wider setting , like to have a bit of room to manoeuvre.
Cheers fella, atb Rick n Billy
Lol great review brother!
Cheers Dominic 😃👍👍
I bought one once just to fulfil the kit list on a course, nice and small, the one chance we got to use a bag there were two of us in it, pissing ourselves laughing on a hillside trying to keep warm. I have never used it, it ended up in Iraq without me thankfully. I will buy a new one after seing this review. Thansk
Haha Stephen , that's mad lol 😃😃. I reckon they are good bags for sure . Bit warm in summer but I just open mine up and let some air in. Never needed anything warmer in a UK winter so far 👍.
Cheers fella, have a top week

@@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969 thanks mate, just found your channel while looking for the review. Just on your Banshee review, but will stick with the tarp and bivvy bag until my Mrs might come along. Thanks again.
@@steveh100 cant beat a tarp and bivi bag though can ya. My favourite option for sure 🙂👍
Bought myself one of these after watcing your review Rick. Threw it in my hunka xl with an insulated static v pad, and under a tarp on last nights bikepack. Forecast was -1c but it actuall went -7c up on the mountain! Was I cold? Nope, like a bug in a rug. Was only cold cycling back this morning after a brew. Thanks for that review mate. Spot on. I can highly recommend these products.
Brilliant stuff Mark. That sounds like a great little adventure too 🙂. Sounds like a great night in the mountains . Great combination with the bag, bivi and tarp. I'm due another bike packing trip. Might sort one out for in a couple of weeks . It's been great weather for it. I bought my lad a Hunka xl for his bike packing trips recently.
Cheers Mark, atb mate
Rick n Billy
@@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969 Was so nice Rick. Fell asleep to the sound of the owl and woke to a blackbird singing away. What more do you want.
@@bubbaluv500 two amazing sounds 🙂. Quality .The Blackbird call is my favourite as it reminds me of being a young lad walking home at dusk with the Blackbirds calling in the hedgerows of going fishing at the crack of Dawn to the Blackbirds song. Great stuff 👍. Have a top week Mark
Thankx for this Rick, was looking to replace my sons bag fir something better suited to his DofE expedition, so ordered one and it came today.
Great stuff John, I reckon he will get many good years of use out of it 🙂. He'll be snug as a bug in a rug for sure. I'll be tucked up in mine Friday night under my tarp somewhere on the Welsh borders too 👍. I've got about 15 D of E students this year ready for their expedition. Apparently they dont have to stay out overnight because of this Covid situation but I think they are missing out if they dont. Good luck to your son John, will be a good adventure 🙂👍.
Cheers, Rick n Billy
@@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969 Nathan will be in Exmoor for his Silver, no option of coming home for the night back to Bournemouth from there.First night next Friday they have chosen to wild camp with no supervision as part of their brief.
Yes I agree if not staying out it will water down the experience and definitely gonna miss out
Cheers for the review Rick, tried it out yesterday and I was hot after 5 minutes, should work very well in exmoor 👍
@@monk3yface99 haha Nathan 😃. Great stuff. I reckon it will do you proud and last you many adventures 🙂. I'll be tucked up in mine tomorrow night. Exmoor sounds fantastic, it's one place I've not been to much . I've been on Dartmoor a bit over the years. Some fantastic countryside and wild areas. Have a great Silver Expedition 👍, will be a cracking adventure.
All the best Nathan
Rick
Cracking review and some funny stories 🤣🤣🤣 it looks and sounds like a great bag and only £60 ish a bargain rick I agree with you on the stuff sack put a handle on the bottom atvb Jimmy 😎😎👍👍
Haha cheers Jimmy mate , thanks fella 😃😃. Aye it's a good bag. itll do me a good few years anyhow. My last one lasted 25 yrs and I ain't chucking it lol. Itll come in handy 😉. Cheers Jimmy 👍. Atb Rick n Billy

Great video
I've been watching a few sleeping bag reviews and have decided to go for the Snugpak Elite.
On one UK website, the Elite 4 is only £6 more than the 3, so I think I'll go for the 4. i know there's a 5 too, but I'll never be sleeping in the snow.. I also see you can actually buy the 'expanda panel' as a separate item, obviously for sleeping bags that don't already have that feature.
Regards from Whitley Bay
Cheers Brian, you're in a good spot Whitley Bay 🙂. Its a while since I've been over there . We used to come over for a few beers back in the late 80's 🙂.
I think it's a great sleeping bag. I've used it lots lately under a tarp and I'm still very happy with it 🙂. I always have it on the widest setting and just pull it in if I'm snuggling up lol. I like that extra bit of space 👍. Cheers Brian, Atb fella. Rick
Is the elite 4 better ?
@@tahirahmed33 I never actually bought the Elite 4. It seems it is out of stock everywhere. I emailed Snugpak and they said getting stock in, in July which was too far ahead. I bought the Snugpal Travelpak 4 instead, at £38 including delivery (UKMCPro) If I do decide to do some winter camping I'll buy a down bag, wich will be easier to pack. The Elite 4 and 5 are very bulky .. I'm sure they are great bags though, judging the poor stock levels
Champion
Cheers Mark 👍
ta for review. Sadly not 60 quid now.
Yeh I noticed the other week they've gone up 🤨. Nightmare ain't it
Thanks for the video review. You dont want to be catching your 'old man' in that zipper, very painful.
Haha too right lol 😃😃. Thanks for watching and you're doing well 👍.
Great video brother. Subbed!
Ahh cheers man. Great stuff, thankyou 🙂👍
I have the blanket, jungle bag and softie square foot. About the pee bottle....I think I prefer to brave the cold lol!
Haha, aye its a balancing act for sure Robert 😀👍. They do make some good bits of kit. I've a couple of items from them that I really like 👍
I have the Elite 4, Snugpak’s Tactical 2 and their jungle bag. I love all those bags but there are a few issues I’ve noticed in long term use...have used the Elite and Tactical for about 3-4 years now. Snugpak’s temperature ratings to me are way off.. the Elite 4 is supposed to have a comfort level of -10. I have used it warmer than 0 and my feet absolutely freeze in it.. same with the Tactical 2 which has a comfort level of 0 degrees C. Even at +10 I’m cold in it. The material in the inner foot box areas is much cooler than the rest on the interior insulation. The zips snagging on the Elite and Tactical are a constant issue which for military use designed sleeping bags is absolutely ridiculous. The jungle bag zip doesn’t snag so easily although it’s not quick release either. Imagine if you’re in a combat zone and have to get out in a hurry...the last thing you want to be doing is fiddling with stuck zips...seriously! I’ve written to Snugpak about this. I still generally love Snugpak as a brand and have some of their jackets and other items which are great. Will not consider buying their sleeping bags again until they address these issues although their gear is generally good value for money. Just ordered a Carinthia Defence 1 so looking forward to seeing how that goes..
Yeh definitely agree about the zip. Mine seems to have got better or my technique of unzipping might have changed to accommodate this. Like you say though, would be really bad in a combat situation.
I've only used my snugoack 3 in the UK and always been warm enough but I'm a warm sleeper and wear wool socks when it's cold.
Cheers for the great comment and speaking from experience. Sure it will help anyone potentially looking for a new bag 👍
Atb fella
Rick
Could loop a bit of paracord through the buckles on the bottom of the sack maybe.
Aye that would work 👍
Do you have a video on newbies guide to living in the woods for a day or 2 + in the UK
I dont have a specific video on that subject but loads of bits on the skills which would help living in the woods.
Cant beat spending time in the forest
Atb Rick
I like the idea of a handle on the bottom. Why not just make one from some paracord tied to two of the compression straps at the bottom? Might even use a paracord braid to add some "emergency" cordage to your kit.
Yeh definitely a good idea 👍. Every time I'm getting it out of the bag I think of it, especially with cold hands 👍.
Cheers fella
@@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969 Yo. But better cold hands than cold feet! That's why the Good Lord gave us armpits.
@@kxd2591 Haha too right 😃😃
Good old-man advice for your old man.
@@weeringjohnny haha yeh Johnny lol 😆. Cheers fella 👍
Which town r u filming in
This was filmed in Yorkshire 👍. Lovely little woodland 🙂
Cheers fella 👍
Also I googled that's it illegal to wild camp in UK ,only allowed in the Dartmoor and in Scotland and some places in Wales. I will wood camp in don't care of the UK laws regarding this .. lol
Do you watch funky preppier lol about the piss bottles 🙂
No man, I've not seen it. I'll have a butchers sometime 👍
