In this video I head out wild camping in the UK (Peak District) with some old school backpacking gear. I picked up a sleep system for only £25 and couldn't wait to try it out. For me anyway. It was nice to get back to a more minimalist camping style that was much more simplistic, although it definitely wasn't ultralight camping gear.
I have an MSR Tindheim 2 Tent plus a Gopro Hero 11 & Insta360 action camera bundle up for grabs over on www.messner.co... Good luck to everyone who enters the competition 🤞🏻

My man rolling to the top like gandalf
..the Grey. He's yet to fight a balrog I expect, although I might be wrong.
You shall not snakes pass
I genuinely believe England is the most beautiful country in regards to the diversity you see, the lush greenery and colourful flowers. For as shit as the rest of it is the actual island is beautiful. Everybody moans about rain but I love it because it brings my eyes the beautiful nature I get to see every day.
Good video Paul.
Finallly a military surplus episode ! :) Maybe can be easier if the bedroll transformed in a way to be ported on the back with some (even basic) shoulder straps
Heading for my first proper wild camp this weekend! Thank you for all the advice & inspiration. Excited :)
Awesome. Hope it goes well.
How’d you get on?.
This venture has to be my favorite ❤ thank you for sharing Paul. Nothing beats the simplicity of tarp camping.
Awesome love seeing new outdoor enthusiasts.
Aaah! The souvenirs…😊 I was a boy-scout in the sixties. We used old military waxed tents that leaked like crazy. Now I use a small ultralight poncho tarp. I know it’s old fashioned but I also use modern stuff as a bath tub that I made of Tyvek material and one aluminium trekking pole. Plus a small quilt made before the ultralight fashion. My old rubber inflatable mattress gave out so I bought a Nemo ultralight new one. My rucksack gave up and I bought one of those 21 liter running backpacks. Total weight 13 pounds without water and food…
Next time, try bringing the bedroll strap around more so the bedroll is across your back but put the little bag on first
Hi, my name is Des I’m from Australia. I love watching your clips and I’ve just watched this one and it doesn’t matter what you eat or what you sleep under or even just look at the view you’ve got where I live. You can travel for 200 km and not see a hill or tree Keep up the good work
Many of us live in different climates, note that this makes a big difference to equipment required
I like the simplicity of it 👍 Thanks for the video, Paul!
Great video Paul. You can pick up military surplus pack frames for under £20 which you could bungee that set up to and ease the shoulder strain👍🏻
I'm surprised just how much i can carry in a Polish bread bag. Small tarp, sit mat, half groundsheet, lightweight rain jacket and overtrousers, small trangia mess tin with my lunch, torch, monocular, titanium cup with coffee and meths stove, windshield, knife fork and spoon and 800ml water. Much better than a rucksack in summer as i dont get a sweaty back. Mine cost five pounds but i had to get a shoulder strap for it.
Terrific Paul, another great video. I love watching your adventures. Inspiring, to say the least.
Thanks and I really appreciate the camera angles and the time you put into them.
Well done mate!
Love it. Be great to see more of these alternatives maybe a Lavvu poncho/shelter setup with your recent affection for the poncho 😂.
Great video, sometimes we get caught up in all the gear and it's good to remember just how simple it can be.
Nice one Paul an inspiration to all, keeping it simple and showing wild camping doesn't cost the earth.
Army Surplus gas mask bags and bags like yours were all the rage when I was at school in the 1980’s.
Likewise, I was at college of FE in about 1982, most of us had the old 38 pattern canvas backpacks with brass trim on the straps, my mates were copies, but mine was an original, also had a couple of haversack ones as well, gutted I don’t still have them now, the last one I sold on eBay about 10 years ago,☹️ just before I got back into camping or wild camping as it’s called now.
The second spot looks better and a lot better, viwe.
It’s lovely up there Dan.
@PaulMessner I need to make my way up before the long nights are back.
Czech bedroll is a good piece of kit, if on the bulky side. You could always strap it to an old style packframe to make it easier to carry.
Hi Paul, nice demo. I had a canvas bedroll in the army and it was amazing in all weathers. I wasn't worried about the weight as I had an A vehicle to carry it on. Keep up the good work, you always seem to find an interesting slant to camping.
Cracking camp Paul. Just goes to show how it can be done
Love the bit of retro mate
Loved the simplicity of this video Paul. Definitely would like to see more.
Great effort Paul. You did well carrying that kit without a backpack. Take my hat off to you. Enjoyed the video. Just shows you don’t need all the bells and whistles when the weather’s fine. Atb Dave 😊
Great timeing mate, just packing for a beach camping 🏕🎉
Got myself one of those Polish bread bags after seeing this video. Quick mod with a couple of side fastening straps - those buckles were beyond me - and I am good to go. Just been using it for every day things, but it's great and multipurpose. Thanks for showing this, I love old school army surplus.
I use to have a wee bag like that for my lunch and bits in the building trade 40 years ago😂
I had a canvas pack similar to that in the 80s from either Millets or Army and Navy. Worked either as a haversack or uncomfortable rucksack.
i really enjoyed this video. just simple with you being you! not saying the others arent as good, but this one seemed very chilled and i enjoyed it!
Not surprised at the Tindheim being in the giveaway. MSR should stick to dome tents.
My God! That looks like the most difficult kit to carry ever! Big clap for your Mum on that midge outfit, love it♥. But Paul, things don't feel right without the orange mug, it's like your best mate is missing!
Really enjoyed that Paul, good to see some affordable gear, and its certainly a bit different than the normal OEX and Vango stuff. Thanks for the video.
Very wise filtering the water, youd not want bad tummy. Id love to be drinking coffee up there
Great video pal. My grandfather fought alongside the polish at Monte Casino. Brave lads. 👍
Glorious, 24 Degrees sound like a sauna to me, anything above 10 degrees is a heatwave and I'm from London, a southern softy! 🤣
I used to have an identical haversack, but it was sold to me as a German army breadbag (“BrotBeutel” in the late 1980s.
Brilliant, I did something similar in June, bivvy, sleeping bag & tarp. But I was "camping" on the floor of a small dinghy so weight wasn't an issue. It felt like a proper adventure and the pub was only 200 yards away!
Nice video. I like watching how to make do with less on a trip - e.g. the jacket to pillow. Thanks for making this.
This is so interesting, my dad shared a video before me 150 mile fell walk of your 8kg setup, because I have the same (+700g in luxuries if applicable, or packing for versitility). When I was there I only had 2 miles to walk and a bus on occasion so I made a swag of my bivvy, bag and mat :o I've never seen others use these on UA-cam, they are very convenient. I love how yours is, it must feel great being in there
We had them bags in skool back in the 1990s. We called them record bags/skool bags!
Nice little set up on days like this i love to sleep under the stars with just a ground sheet and sleeping bag
Always watching 😊
Thumbs up.
Mike 🇨🇦
Hi. AWESOME. TENT.
I would be building a backpack style strap system for that rig.
Makes me want to paint! Beautiful!
Not everyone can spend 500 quid on a tent good for you mate respect 😊
Very amazing video well done and keep up the great work and you can't beat tarp camping
You're mad mate LOL. I remember the days of kipping under a 58 pattern poncho in a green feather maggot bag before the days of roll up foam mats. Coupled with the shirt hairy green, it was an ordeal. I'll stick with my comfy stuff but 10/10 for effort. BTW scored an epic bargain at the weekend at the Rab shop. I'm all togged out for the winter now.
How wonderful. Back 2 basics!!!!!
Best way of camping, have the same tarp which I use with either the hunka XL or elan, tent rarely comes out now, agree on bigger tarp for wet weather though, eyeing up a trailstar with bath tub then sorted for year round, well Dartmoor and coastal for me, enjoyed this one 👌
No way you seen my comment on your recent picture from yesterday and got this out hahah. Litterlly requested a video like this. Well done thank you.
My mums stockings could make 2 of them nets ;)
Great seeing a different setup. 👍
Taking the man cave outside!
Lovely video enjoyed watching mate
Excellent paul another brilliant camp always appreciated marra all the best 😃🏕
nice camping spot
I'm glad you are there to show me why I don't want to go bedroll camping! Far too much faff and despite the forecast you can never guarantee the UK weather won't change. A Lanshan 1 without the inner would be my choice along with my usual summer pad and bag. It may be double the cost but it's less weight and bulk and far more comfortable.
PS. My dad used to have a little haversack like that for his lunchtime sandwiches and flask!
PPS Have you tried the Cnoc water bags? I saw Paul Hayes with one and got it; it's been a gamechanger for my water gathering/storage.
I have a Gnoc bag as well as the platypus one. Just showing every day items and bottles you can get from most stores.
I enjoyed that. A good solid bare essentials camp. I've got one of those Czech OFFICER's bed rolls, pristine, but I'm not planning to carry it over my shoulder. Those Polish Bread bags are great value for money. I had an old British bag when I first started my apprenticeship at a time when we mostly cycled to work - I guess you Northerners call them 'Snap Bags' or similar?
Going old school...great vlog Paul.
Love the new look !
Nice minimalist trip⛺️👍
That peak District water looks grim 😮 lol
Hello from Thailand. Love your videos Paul! I will be visiting the UK in December and plan to do a 1-2 nights hike. Any recommendations? The Peak District here looks amazing but will it snow in December? I'd prefer green highlands over white snows lol
It may well be snowy in December lol. Best of luck 👍
Hi Paul, I'm looking for a new pair of trousers and like the look of the ones you are wearing in this video. Where did you get them if you don't mind me asking?
Great video as well!
That iconic orange mug was missing 😢
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on your channel. Watching you have comfortable nights camping with top end kit that lots of people can’t afford or justify buying isn’t exactly riveting stuff. Watching you suffer is much more entertaining 😂 Perhaps you could camp with stuff you’ve bought entirely from charity shops or homemade stuff (like the mosi net) Anyway, I really enjoyed this….top stuff Jimmi
I won’t lie, that looked pretty uncomfortable Paul, if it had rained you would have got soaked.
Made a decent video tho, so kudos to you for that.
Seen many of your videos, have you ever reviewed a lightweight camping cot ?
ATB
Darren
The forecast was clear all night but I have a couple of other tarp setups that are great for rain cover should I have needed a quick switch. Only used a cot bed when car camping. Definitely wouldn’t carry one far. I’d just use an air mattress.
You would be surprised how dry you can remain
Use a different pitch
No reason to get wet under a tarp if it is pitched correctly. Where they are a pain is when the wind moves around by 145-180 degrees overnight.
Loved this!
Hi. LOVELY. BEAUTIFUL. SCENERIES. LANDSCAPE. AWESOME. HIKING. CAMPING.
Really enjoyed this one pal 👍 I’m going for my 1st bivi camp soon. In the vaude bivi 1p. Any bivi tips 👌🏼
My type of camping.
DOOD!
Love it, something different..and you got away with no rain. I'm off up there tomorrow night, ringing Roger or might go over woolpack way, see how busy everywhere is. Great vid as per, take care
Hi Paul, how about a video about power options? I've recently come a bit of a cropper out backpacking trying to power cameras, phones and watches and am thinking about solar or battery options.
Hi! I made a video last year about solar charging and power packs to carry while exploring.
This might be of help ...

I have a czech army bedroll with the additional blanket. It weighs an effin ton would not want to backpack it
Insects in yer'ears Paul, really?! In England? A that elevation? In that breeze? Ee lad, you were lucky, no midges... Summer backpacking in the Highlands is barely plausible from June to September inclusive, except with great preparedness (mozzy coils once inside, inner tent must be totally midge-secure, much use of Smidge most of the time). I can hardly wait for the end of September each year, when the females stop biting. With luck I'll get a few autumn camps in before winter proper comes. Mid-winter camps are fine if the weather isn't too sh-t. But I'll almost sacrifice all-year-round backpacking for the mid-March to end-May window in the far NW Highlands, Assynt, Sutherland, remote beaches, seeing nobody for days. No midges, and fairly reliable sun for at least 50% of the time. This year we had fab weather from March to early June, pre-midge eruption! So please, bugs in your ears, really Paul, time to man up matey! (Joshing, keep up the good work, we all love ya!)
Never been able to find the czech system for sale in the UK.
Beautiful video that pal, cheers!
Try the wynnchester bedroll. I have one of those. Be interesting to see what others think about them. Not many videos on them.
I've just come back from a 5 night walk along Offa's Dyke with a tarp. My question is this - why with such excellent ventilation did I get massive amounts of condensation on the underside on all the nights? Way worse than a tent? It kept off rain even when it was pretty windy, but touch the tarp and then it started raining indoors!
put the bedroll in a backpack
I hiked from south to north wales snowden with a bedroll and a poncho
Under normal circumstances I’d take a backpack every time. I only have modern light packs and it didn’t suit this style. I’ve seen bedrolls carried this way so gave it a go 😂
@@PaulMessner
good to see you out again with the Alpkit Rig 3.5
like old times
You certainly know what to do with it
Paul come on mate there is no need to carry the gear like that you go out and about to make a frame out of willow or butcher one of your old ruck sacks for shoulder and hip padding your walking around as if it's the 1940 hiking like they did in every day clothing and gear 😮😊
❤❤❤ fantastic vid Paul love it .
Great vid Paul
Hi Paul, what is the jacket you are wearing please?
👍🏻👍🏻
New to your channel, what's the stove you use I never seen one like that? Might be a stupid question but I don't know 😕
Looks awesome, wondering how you managed to do this legally, as the only place in England to wild camp is Dartmoor and then its only in certain areas.
Bore off
Heya paul, how are you getting on with the lone peaks... 👍👍 Wanna get em, but everywhere I look they're mad money..
Lovely spot. We camped in that exact location a couple of weeks back! That rubbish is not ours though!
with you talking about other Messeners 🙂hope you know who Reinhold Messner and hes brother Günther Messner are😂🤣😂
Uncle Reinhold is a big inspiration to me. A true pioneer
Where did you get the folding metal tray for the stove?
Nice. You've now got me wondering just how little I could get away with on a wild camp. 😅
PPS how come you didn't pass a line over that big bolder then peg it down could of at least 4 lines come on bud think 😮
Good stuff !!!!
What's YOUR favourite way to relax & unwind in the peak district?
I'll start. Find a tranquil spot in the countryside to simply sit, relax, and take in the beauty and serenity of the surroundings. Practice mindfulness and let go of any stress.
Hello 👋 I was just wondering what is the brand/name of the tent at 1.40 thankyou 🙂
Love it!, When are you going to post some more hats for sale? I want a beanie!
