    Fabulous hike and campout Sandy. The weather was far from desirable but you guys were definitely well prepared for what it brings you. I'll bet that it was a very good feeling to get your shelters all set up so that you could just relax and let the weather play outside while you just sat and listened to the rain and wind pound the sides of your tents. A mesmerizing experience for certain. Thanks as always for the very entertaining and interesting video my friend. It is always very much appreciated. See you on the next one.

    It is a great point you have highlighted. As an Aussie camper we do not have ready access to products like Durston - Ill have a look at doing an international order. I am a big believer in supporting the people that work hard to increase options for quality outdoor products, and the old say "you get what you pay for". It would be great if import tariffs could be applied to protect local product, but in the age of "order anything from anywhere" this is probably too hard. Great videos Ive been following your channel for a while.

    Enjoyed that: W.M. in a Tent! But crikey, that little Helm 1 does the job - never heard anyone say anything otherwise, but it’s a little ‘coffin-like’ for my tastes. The upside of that, presumably, being that it heats up quickly. Looks like you and Mr. Messner need to do a Spring/Summer camp if you ever want to “have a chat”. (o: Thanks for bringing this to us.

    That was a great video sandy, i spent a week in the Hope Valley last year on a bird watching holiday and realised very quickly that in the dark peaks you prepare for all weather even if its nice when you set off, the wind comes from all directions on those peaks and that tent of yours stood up to it extremely well, the Pennine way starts at Edale and you could lose your hat up there too most days even in summer, really enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing 😃

    Hi Sandy cracking post. Thank you and I hope you enjoyed northern hospitality.
    Good review on the compact 1. I did consider it for weight for both my cycling and walking treks but opted for the compact 2 as the little bit of extra weight the extra vestibule and internal space is far better and gives you you a bit more comfort to spread out. Plus I’m a tosser n turner in my sleep so I’d probably end up de-pegging the compact1 .
    Keep posting Sandy …love watching your channel
    Merry Christmas and look forward to more of your adventures

      It was really great up there, the Helm2 is probably a better tent but the one thing for sure I found was that the one person tent did warm up OK which is a big bonus in cold weather

    That was certainly a good test of kit and resolve as that looked grim. 👍

    Hi Sandy, good to see you flying the flag for us 61 year olds. I could do with Paul showing some more easily accessed wild spots, in the Peaks, for those in their seventh decade with osteoarthritis and more timber! That camp site at the end is more my cup of tea these days. 😂

      I lack the timber fortunately but my biggest problem right now is my hip, it's wearing out......

    Great trip Sandy. You’re looking your fit old self again. The tent looked to hold up well- move over Hilleberg lol… Though I have an eye for the Hilleberg Soulo black, my Snugpak Bunker has always been a solid performer. Nothing tests kit like bad weather, but I like bad weather- nearly dozed off here listening to your rain!
    Cheers mate. 👍🏻

      Hi Nicholas, hope you are well. The Soulo is a solid tent but just ab bit too expensive for me, I would love one though. Maybe one day
