Cheers Marty . Yes mate it was really nice ( if a bit breezy) . Havent got a load of uk made gear but the stuff I do have seems really good and well made so far. Tke care and ad always thank you 👍🏕
Nice one Mark, enjoyed that show and tell of all the canvas kit. You've got some nice stuff there. I really like those Norwegian packs! I'm kind of similar to you in that I really like using the old skool kit, but I also like mixing things up from time to time and going with the lighter load! I can recommend Thornhill Ultraheavy. I've used one of his 8x8 tarps for a couple of years now and it's been great, really well made. I wouldn't say it's Ultraheavy as such, I weighed my tarp recently and it's 1.5kg, which probably isn't much different to your outhaus 8x8. Fine for backpacking. Thornhill just likes to use heavyweight leather tie outs and I think that's where the extra weight goes. Personally, I think an 8x8 tarp is the sweet spot for a solo camper, not too big and not too small. I also think you've done well to avoid Bushcraft Spain, I don't have any of their stuff, but have seen a few videos of them where people have had issues with poor quality control and bad sewing, not ideal considering the cost of them. Stick with the British made gear. Anyhow, this is a long and waffly comment, thanks for sharing 👍
Cheers Barney . Yes mate I see that you have a little liking for the traditional style kit too . I do really like the 8x8 , its never let me down and is more than sufficient. But I do keep hankering for a 3x3 or 10x10 😂. It'd give the option of a fully enclosed tent type pitch , open setup or something in between,( if you know what I mean) . I do have a laavu for that purpose though 😂. Anyway take care bud and thanks muchly 👌🏕
Cool video mark, very interesting, I have afew bits from browns bushcraft, sewing kit, wool sitmat ,a plain canvas mat, then there's AS woodcraft (I think) does canvas bottle holder, I have 2, takes trangia stove/pathfinder bottle and cup and bottle, very cool pouchs, am looking at the journeyman handcrafts stuff and David friars stuff, good health and safe travels my friend, cheers craig
Hi Craig, hope your good. Yes mate, all the stuff seems really good so far, the journey man and David fryers bits are well made and just feel nice and dependable. I'll have to have a look into those makers you mentioned ( although I think I'm getting to that stage where I think I've got enough stuff😂) sometimes I spend an eternity trying to decide what I'm going to take out 🤔😂. Anyway, thank you for watching and keep enjoying the outdoors 👌🏕
Hi Mark how are you ? Thanks for this great video ! I really like your product presentation! These are only sustainable deals, it’s very nice! Thank you ans see you soon ! Bye , Laurent🙂👍
@treksntarps I'm sold on the Outhaus stuff, will save some pennies and get buying! I live near the new forest so will look forward to trying it all out 😀
Nice one Mark , it’s interesting to see all the traditional stuff that’s available nowadays ,I reckon it’s better to buy british stuff as they know what suits us like never ending rain 😂 also good to spread the word for them as I’m sure they’re feeling the pinch like everyone , enough doom mongering nice to get out in the sun ,all the best Mick
Thank you Mick. Yes mate. It is nice to buy from the British makers . The stuff I have so far is all well made and has that traditional hard-wearing feel that I like. Maybe not suitable for long distance hikes but good for a few miles and a really nice feeling camp. Take care and thank you for watching. Its much appreciated 👌🏕
Hi Darren , Thanks bud. I'm not sure mate I think the basha is something like 8 1/2 by 7 ish Feet ( don't quote me on that 🤔) the tarp is actually an inch or 2 off 8x8 but is spacious enough for one and kit , 2 in an emergency. Take care fella 👍 🏕
@@treksntarps a keep thinking Mark should I get rid of the basha and get something bigger and then again I used it on Friday and its perfect goes great with my firebox bloody love it take care mate 👍🎄
@@treksntarps yes mate I use that along with the British army bivvy bag and roll mat that goes inside the bivvy and I use a think its called the 90 pattern sleeping bag always get a decent sleep mate

Just discovered your channel mate, I like it 👍 I looked at Bushcraft Spain stuff too but thought the same as you re costs etc.
@@duskymoonuk Nice one , thank you. Yeah the bushcraft Spain stuff does look good ( and keeps tempting me 😜) but it is very pricey. . Take care 👍🏕️

@duskymoonuk Enjoy. Haven't looked on their site in a while. But stuff I have is good 👍
Nice kit! Traditional camping is the only way to go😀

Cracking stuff as always Mark. Is that tarp bigger than the army basha/tarp mate
Hi Darren , Thanks bud.
I'm not sure mate I think the basha is something like 8 1/2 by 7 ish Feet ( don't quote me on that 🤔) the tarp is actually an inch or 2 off 8x8 but is spacious enough for one and kit , 2 in an emergency.
Take care fella 👍 🏕
@@treksntarps a keep thinking Mark should I get rid of the basha and get something bigger and then again I used it on Friday and its perfect goes great with my firebox bloody love it take care mate 👍🎄
@@darrenrobson5977 Yeah I've still got my basha havent used it in a while but its such a good bit of kit and I'm sure I'll still use it in future.
@@treksntarps yes mate I use that along with the British army bivvy bag and roll mat that goes inside the bivvy and I use a think its called the 90 pattern sleeping bag always get a decent sleep mate
@@darrenrobson5977 Nice . Sounds like a good little setup. All you need really. Take it easy bud 👍 🏕
