I never thought you would get all that gear into that bag..it’s like magic.
😄 it's some kinda voodoo.. I had to do my best to show the inside because I thought that no one would believe me 😄
I think it's down to all the quality and compactness of the gear. The tent alone is do light and compact since there's no poles added, just using the walking poles instead.
Just the essentials, no bullshit. Now that’s what I call an informative video. Thank you for this. I need to adjust my packing habits as I tend to go over equipped.
That bag is like Dr Who's Tardis 😃
I wish all the load out videos were like this. No long intro, shows actually how to pack stuff and lets us see inside the bag how things are actually arranged. The best video on this topic on youtube I have found.
Thanks a mill 🍀
Lol and the guy is not even scrimping on his luxury items, I mean not quilt but the full size sleeping bag AND a liner, 4 season sleeping mat AND a sit pad haha, full cook set with even a real windshield, TWO man tent instead of one man tent (which lanshan also makes), lol he even carries his milk in a separate bottle ahahahaha great man
That trekking pole holder is brilliant.
Osprey backpacks style
The last tip about the hiking pole stowage with the carabiners and bungee cord was priceless - thanks!!!!
No bothers thank you for watching it to the end 👍
Amazing what you can actually get in a small pack Jason. Good stuff mate.
Brilliant video, however, the first thing we all did after basic training was ditch those daysacks. We hated them because they make you look like a crow bag. I went for the Berghaus Munro. 14 years later it's still going strong. I do think the price is a bit much these days though.
😂 a crow bag, love it. I think that the price of most things is a bit much these days unfortunately but I have heard good things about the Munro packs
Great load out. Seems like no unnecessary items to weigh you down. I like the hiking pole attachment, I’m going to do that on my hiking bag ✌🏻
amazing videos, thank you for the inspiration!!
That's a great tip for the trekking poles as I have a 40l bag and it doesn't have trekking pole loops so will definitely do that. Great video, literally everything you need. Also, some extra bungey chord on the top or bottom of the pack would help secure a tent or a sleeping bag. Thanks again, happy camping!
Initially I had those loops to have somewhere that I could pop my tripod into to save me carrying it, It is really handy to have them ready to go. There are no loops to attach bungee cord to but I'm sure something could be modified to suit it. Thanks for watching, all the best 👍
@@RamblingOn This is a really good hack to add the Osprey pack's "Stow on the go" feature to any backpack!
Nicely sorted Jason
nice insights, took quite a lot of notes (definitly going for those tiny dry bags).
Thanks, appreciated!
Cool video and informative. Thank you!
Great, trekking pole buckle is very amazing.
Brilliant vid...thx muchly.
Great breakdown of good, useful, normal gear. Your trekking oole clips are brilliant. Will borrow that idea. 😬
Great demo on the capabilities of the 30L daypack there Jason!
I have the exact same bag myself. You could easy stash 3 dehydrated meals in too.
There's also the little compartment at the bottom, which seems to give you either an extra 2 -3 Litres capacity when extended or to store a folded Mil-Tec poncho or the great Andes 2x3m tarp and a survival kit & tin.
You could also stash a spool of the excellent Atwood Micro Cord in, 30 metres+ on a spool, only 1.18 mm thick and a strength of around 100lbs. Excellent cordage with minimal storage.
Ah savage cheers for the tips Simon. I must check out that cord it sounds class👍
another great video, thanks
Nice gear video. Great load out. You have a wonderful day
Same to you, all the best 👍
Great video Jason, especially helpful for the newbies like me!
Glad to hear it, cheers man 👍
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
No worries, cheers for taking the time to watch it 🍀
Brilliant.😊
Bloody fabulous.
I really need to sort myself out.
On my motorbike i have two 35 litre side panniers, a 10 litre tank bag and a 47 litre topbox and i still cant fit everything in.
And here you are proving that you can fit everything you need in one bag.
I need a new tent as mine is massive and needs its own plavmce on my rear seat.
And i am definitely goingvto use your gear list as a benchmark for my weight saving .
Cheers.
It may not always be practical, but it can be done depending on the gear you have.
I'm delighted the video has helped you out, let me know what tent you go for 👍 take her handy
Former biker here, if all you need is a one person tent check out the miltec recon tent, easy strap to rear seat and leaves room for the kitchen sink. 👍
I have a backpack almost identical to that in green and didn't think I could fit nearly as much as that in it! I might have to try it out in the summer when I have less kit 👍
I am going to try get a decent military surplus backpack for the winter months. The lighter weight packs are no good for the woods. Let me know how you get on with your loadout 👍
Great job
You just came up on my suggestions. Good to see a camp worth of stuff in 30ltrs! I keep working on making my 35ltr backpack fit in what I need. Ok for summer, hard for winter
The lowest that I have managed for a camp is 20 litres but that was the height of summer. If there was a way to have a 35litre loadout for winter that would be class. Fair play if you manage to do it, it would make hiking in a lot easier
Impressive packing and funny, great stuff.😀
Thanks Peter 🍀
No way! I just saw it but I still can't believe it!
Hi mate, really enjoyed watching this vid 👍 .. i like the way you've just kept everything so simple .. i struggle with that quite a bit 😅 .. new subscriber 👍
I've decided that keeping things simple is the way to go 😄 Thanks for watching and thank you very much for the support. All the best 👍
awesome video!
This is great - I'm getting into overnight camping, and I was concerned my 30L pack would be too small, but this settles it! Thanks.
Delighted that it was helpful, thank you for watching 👍
love the idea you come up with your tracking poles i was having the same problem Thank You 😎😎😎
No bothers, I thought it was pretty handy 🙂 thanks very much for watching 👍
Wow, well done for getting it all in, Ive got an Osprey Talon 33 & struggling to get my gear for a one night wild camp on the South Down, normally use a 60L so think I have got used to the luxury...but it clearly can be done !
Cheers Steve, it's such an easy little bag to pack. There is nothing wrong with a bit of luxury, I took my Exos 48 out on my last camp and was delighted that I did. The few extra bits of gear were well appreciated. The south downs look class, I was over that way this year but I didn't manage to fit in a hike
Good job 👏
Excellent presentation Jason. Really like the trekking pole attachment idea.
I have a battered 9 year old Osprey Talon 44 that served me well over the years. Thinking of hitting the West Highland Way this year.
I started using that to carry my tripod and then realised I could pop me trekking poles in there too 😄 I've seen some videos of the west highland way and it looks class. Will you take your Talon on that? I'm hoping to take my 40L decathlon bag on a 5 day hike this year
@@RamblingOn Yeah, will take the Talon for that also. Should be fine, especially in warmer season.
Its really the only pack i use, have a small 20l daypack just for day trips.
Great stuff man. I'm amazed you got all that into a 30 litre, fair play to you. New sub. Looks like a great channel and who doesn't love an Irish man?!
😄 Cheers Arscar, have a good one 🍀
Nice one, it's satisfying to get you're pack manageable like that. My first couple of hikes involved me carrying a 30 kilo pack lol, live and learn. 👍❤️🇬🇧
First time I went camping I didn't even have a proper backpack. I took two separate packs with a total weight of 26kg I think. Madness but I learned a lot from it 👍🍀
Wife and i loving your videos bud !
Great to hear that. Thank you both very much for watching them 👍⛺
You did a great job on the video. Well planned without a lot of commentary. some of these guys out there like to talk and don't spend enough time on the gear. I missed what kind of tent you had.
Thanks Tim, the tent is the original Lanshan 2 with a four season inner
@@RamblingOn Thank You Jason. Well done. Cheers
A new type of tactical backpack needs to be made. It needs to have a sturdy backing. With layered clips to attach the many types of things required, tent, sleeping bag, chairs, toilet shower tent, hammock etc. rather than a traditional back pack the JBC strap tactical back pack needs to made. 🤴🏽⚡️🕉🔺➕
Great to the point explanation!
Cheers Jerry 🍀
Bloody marvellous that was chap!
Gotta watch it again.
And again 😁
I think us woodland campers usually take a bit too much gear 😉
😄 thanks very much, I bought that backpack purely for woodland camps or stealth camps possibly🤔 I used to bring a 70L bag through the woods and I have no idea how I managed to fill it 😄
@@RamblingOn Hahaha, I’m the same, get a bigger bag and I’ll fill it for sure 😁
Why do we do it? 🤪
I’m going to challenge myself.
Thanks for replying 😉👍🏼
I need more coffee...like at least a cup every 5 hrs or so...lol
Nice
I have 80l military backpack because I need space for 8 beers… or vine and coke 😂
😄 If I wanted to take alcohol, I could possibly squeeze in a hip flask but fair play man. What you are doing takes huge dedication 🙌😄
Excellent video - subscribed and liked.
Thanks very much 🙂
My favourite bit was when you talked about getting your arse out! I was hoping for a demonstration, but no such luck...
🤣 even the sheep don't want to be seeing my arse when they're having their lunch
That was almost likena JNCO brief.
Many thanks for sharing, I have that exact same bag ( I think) do you not use the storage compartment at the bottom.
I actually made a mistake with that in the review, it's not a separate compartment. It is a way to extend the internal capacity of the main compartment, which would add Approx 5 litres. I didn't need to use it for this loadout
Good learning on this one. Still trying to figure out how to fit a bladder with the other stuff in the pack. Enjoyed watching the video
Oh that would be tricky, I don't use a bladder but there is a straw you can get that works with smart water bottles. Basically it's the same idea as the bladder but the bottle is the reservoir. If I come across a link I will send it on to you
I had a quick look there. There might be other brands but here is one to give you an idea 2footadventures.com/products/smartwater-drink-tube-kit
Coincidentally, I just tried to load my kit into a 30L pack (Salomon Outnight) for a settled weather two-nighter on the hills. Failed, mainly because the harness pockets are too small for phone and bottle, and other things I like to access on the go. So back to me trusty 50L job as usual... the search for the perfect compact pack continues.
I wonder would you consider using a bum bag? I get slowed down quite a bit by swapping out camera batteries and that sort of thing. I will be using one every time that I go camping in the future even with my 50L pack.
For the bottle you could try out one of these if you pack would support it www.aliexpress.com/item/4000177749990.html?
Have a good one 🍀
@@RamblingOn That's a good idea! (the bottle holder - less so the bum bag), thank you!
@@RamblingOnI bought same bag, amazing backpack
Great video, and this would suit me for a 1 night camp, rather than taking a larger backpack, and filling it with things that are extras, rather thsn essential 👍
I often pack twice. The second time is to see if I really need everything that I packed the first time 😄
Great tip for the walking poles! I was wondering would it work without the carabines? Just bungee cords?
The carabiners allowed for some extra clearance for my arm to move freely. I would say that you don't need them but that you would have to substitute them for a loop of string or an extra loop of bungee cord etc. Try it out and mess around with them until it is right for you, that is all I did. It took me a few trys to get them how I wanted. The thicker bungee cord for the top stopped mine from hanging down and bouncing around too much while I walked so maybe keep that in mind. I hope this helps 👍
Never heard of a "dirty" liter pack before! 😂
Love the idea of carrying your trekking poles in a more accessible front position. I have tried it and it makes walking much easier when transitioning from uphill to the flat. Did you come up with this idea or did you borrow it? Either way, thanks!
I use it for my tripod sometimes too, it's dead handy. I definitely got inspiration from Osprey's Stow & Go system and I just start messing about to figure out what might work. I'm delighted to hear that it has helped you out, I've refined it a bit with smaller carabiners and 3mm bungee cord. Enjoy the rest of your weekend 👍
Holly crap you are a god on packing lol I'm packing wayyyy wrong lol🤘🤘🏴🏴🏴
😄 that's brilliant. I'm hoping to do a smaller loadout over the summer but I don't know if that is possible yet 🤔
You must have 34 hours in a day buy a US Alice Pack take to upholsterer or canvaser and put a mid floor and put a side stuff sack for sleeping bag and stitch on magazine pouches square not individual mag punched and have sleeping bag on the botton level with side access food and ancillary items readily available in outer pouched and all fragile and numerous items on top and the alice frame will give correct posture and long term back support no other pack works as well signed ex Aussie parra...
tip top tip on tent in top.
Still not sure how you managed to get all that gear into a 30l bag! 🤔😁
The trekking pole holder is a great idea!
It is a class little bag to be fair, dead easy to pack. I almost packed for a winter camp with it only my winter sleeping bag is massive 😄
Great video Jason, I really need these tips 😳 I struggle to pack small like that. Thanks for sharing. Have a good weekend and stay safe 👍😊
I'm going to challenge myself to slim it down to a 20l load out 😱 Funny enough the bag that I just bought is 20l 😄 Have a good one 👍
You sure that's not Mary Poppins bag? 😂
😄 if Mary Poppins went camping
This is awsome but where do you put your water
I have it in a 1 litre nalgene bottle in the side pocket and I have a 500ml bottle in the other side pocket. Love that little bag 😀
Would this be cold in winter with that sleeping bag?? Good packing. Its a goal.
This would be a late spring/ summer loadout. The sleeping bag is only 3 season with a comfort of 6 degrees Celsius. Paired with a sleeping bag liner and some clothing it could get you down to about 2 or 3 degrees but I wouldn't go any lower than that. For winter you would need a sleeping bag rated to -6 Celsius as a minimum, it depends on the conditions you are going out in and you would need extra insulation layers than I have in this loadout. I'll do a lightweight winter setup closer to the coming winter, I still have a few bits to get myself to reduce my packsize 🙂 I hope this helps 👍
You have the kit well dialed in, does the camera stuff take up much room? Can wait to get back out, also you may have screwed your mugshot sponsorship deal there matey:(
No not really. I use the pockets in my trousers for gear I need to hand but the main camera and tripod I carry in my hand because I use it all the time. Then its just a small tripod and the Gopro are usually just in my pocket too. Spare batteries and chargers go with my other electrics. I might show my camera gear in a loadout for a multi day hike and how I pack it.
😄 I think that you could be right on the sponsorship deal.. I could have made a small fortune 😥
Fucking genius mate cheers
Hi. What brand is the sleeping bag liner? I heard ‘age max’ but can’t find a brand with that name. Thanks so much
Hey David, it's an Aegismax Liner. You'll find them on aliexpress I reckon
@@RamblingOn Thanks Jason
Take a sip every time he says "shove it/them in there".
😄
Nice one mate...care to share the total weight of all your gear?
I've absolutely no idea 😄 sorry
Hi, nice and simple video, thanks. How much did it weigh?
I’m looking to do the south west coast path 🇬🇧 this summer; I’m hoping to get it under 10kg inc tent
Hi Stephen, to be honest, I have no idea how much it weighed. I'd be pretty confident in saying that it weighed less than 10kg because my usual base weight is less than 10kg. You probably already know these but some ideas that can help save weight is a down quilt instead of a sleeping bag. Also if you use trekking poles already, then a trekking pole tent instead of a free-standing tent would save some weight. Carrying a water filter can save you having to carry an excessive amount of water.
Best of luck with the hike, hopefully you get the weather for it 👍
@@RamblingOn thanks for your prompt reply. I’m actually watching (right now) a great series made my ‘Andy’s hikes) on his experience doing the swcp. Really good.
I’m thinking a 3L water bladder that fits snug to my back, fill each day.
True, weather is a big factor. I’m miserable af if it’s raining all day
@stephenhayes4637 if that works for you and garauntees that you have water all the time then happy days.
I'd be more inclined to check out water sources along the route in advance like rivers, lakes or shops. I'd carry the capacity to have 2litres with me but I would only carry 1 litre and fill it as and when I needed it. Then when I was going to set up camp I'd fill up both bottles which would be plenty to cook my meals and have breakfast the next morning.
It's purely to save weight but if the weather's very hot and the water sources are scarce I'd do similar to you and have a larger capacity filled all of the time. It's better to have it and not want it than want it and not have it as they say
@@RamblingOn water and food is going to be my main concern, fortunately I know where I’m going. Phone battery and lack of showers is another level.
I have already thought of my first night.. perhaps camping in the church? Leaving a nice note and donation (they have a greetings book)
Hello. Tell me if you plan to use backpacks
Montane Trailblazer?
I've seen those and they look very good but I have no plans on purchasing one
Ok, sencs
What’s the tent please?
And where do you buy powdered milk in Ireland? :) Thanks a mill
I use the Marvel brand and I usually find it in tesco. It could be down the baking section or with the almond milk and the likes 🥛
@@RamblingOn brilliant. Thank you
What about water? Do you always just collect water when you get wherever you're going?
I have 1.5 litres there. A one litre Nalgene and a 500ml bottle too.
You could save more weight by collecting water as you go, it's a good idea but I'd still like to have two bottles with me
@@RamblingOn Crazy. I just returned from a night in the Mournes and struggled to pack everything into a 44L pack. Fair play!
@Jay ah this was just me experimenting with my gear. I normally take a bigger bag just to make it easier. I'd say the Mournes are class
Very good. How does the bag feel when hiking with the load in it. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
I haven't done any big hikes with it but it does sit quite high on your back and for bigger hikes a hip belt would be great which this bag doesn't have. I will try this bag out in the mountains sometime and see how it goes. I bought it primarily for woodland camps and found it very comfortable on those types of walks
@@RamblingOn ah fair enough. Great example of how you can fit everything into a relatively small pack. Thanks for sharing.
What camping tent is that?
That is the Lanshan 2 👍
@@RamblingOn would you recommend this tent for four seasons?
@@aleemahsan4730 in strong winds it wouldn't be as structurally strong as a free standing tent. Saying that it has held up well for me in bad conditions. I would recommend it for 90% of the time but for really harsh conditions I would rather be out in a more substantial tent like a scarp one or even a cloud peak 2
@@RamblingOn thanks 👍👍
What happened to your 40l decathlon backpack. Thought that would be comfortable without crushing everything into a 30l backpack😁. Really enjoyed the video.
I still have that, gonna be using that for the mountain camps and hopefully a 5 day hike I am planning for but this bag is class for going into the woods. There's nothing crushed, fits nicely inside. Being so small and plain black it draws a lot less attention than my other bags when I'm going into local woods that have a lot of trails on them and its also a lot more robust so if it got snagged on a tree it would just shrug it off 😁👍
@@RamblingOn looking to get the decathlon 40l pack but it is out of stock in shop. You can buy online but waiting to try on before buying. I like the features on it from your review of the pack.
@@colinhalpin2076 Decathlon wouldn't be great for having things in stock, at least in the Dublin store. I hope to use it on a 4-5 day hike soon and I'll do a load out for that and hopefully a 'long term' review of the bag afterwards but so far I would be happy to buy it again. I chose it over my Osprey bag all the time. The only time my osprey gets out is when I have to take my massive sleeping bag. Gonna sell that and get a smaller 50-60 litre bag, possibly from decathlon too. Oh and I bought the 20l version of the 40l quechua one I have because it just has all the features I want for less than half the price of other brands. Definitely a good idea to hold off and try it on first, hopefully you can get your hands on one soon👍
Hey Colin I am standing in Decathlon in Dublin and they have those bags in stock in the large and the medium sizes. Just thought I would let you know 👍
Ah thanks. Really appreciate that. Was there last week and there was none. Thanks again.
How do you get that in there? 😅 Witchcraft my guy!
😄 Good old fashioned witchcraft.. It amazed me how much I could fit into it the first time that I packed the bag
😂😂😂
- No hatchet
- No gun
Opinions discarded
You really need a military backpack for that kind of load, if you stuff a civilian backpack this full he quits after a few times…
The military packs are built to last but my Quechua mh500 from Decathlon has been going strong too. I agree with you though, I would imagine this army pack would be strong enough stand the test of time
@@RamblingOn I bought one now from Varusteleka for 31€ because I love to collect backpacks and the comments there where quite interesting. Many British soldiers argued in the comments that they got the bag to transit civilian airports when they where heading to Irak and they told them that the bag is just for hand luggage and not meant to transport anything heavy like radio equipment. I can’t wait to see the bag for myself, but I’m sure it can handle more than luggage transport and my Bushcraft tours doesn’t need me to bring ammo or heavy anti tank mines anyways… 😂
@@DoomOfConviction 😄 I'd be worried if you were heading out camping with a load of weapons 😃 Out of all my backpacks my little military pack is my favourite. I can through it down anywhere and not worry about it. I love it and I hope you like yours too. You got it for a great price 👍 Happy Christmas 🎄
eating nothing should feel good.
I always take food but each to their own. There's food included in the loadout 👍
