    Brillaint video Robert. Really good in seeing what you put in for a wild camp. I've still got a lot to learn. Recently bought my self a stove set up. It's good to see what you have and what I probably still need.

    That’s a cracking good weight Robert, I’d be well happy with that. I’m gonna have to ditch the 5kg of beers to try and get anywhere near that 😂. Nice kit you’ve got btw. Cheers, Dave 👍

    Nice one Roberto, sorry meant Murchie😂. Not a bad weight at all, you should certainly feel the diff carrying it. The thing with a bigger bag is that it’s tempting to put more things in.

    Great video Robert. I've got the same rucksack, and it's a cracking bit of kit. I've often thought when watching you and Stripey that Stripey is cheating by getting you to carry all the gear! 🤣

    Wow, great work on seriously lightening your pack! ⛰💪 It's smart to switch out stuff like the tent and mat - that makes a HUGE difference. As a fellow gram-counter, I totally feel your pain 😅. Looking forward to seeing this setup out on the trail! 🏕

    That was cracking mate. Im no even gonna say the weight of our bags...ok I will (Maxines was 24kg and mine was 27kg). Mind you, that was a winter camp, but we probably didnt need the kitchen sink lol. Really enjoyed your video mate and glad you got that weight down. Have a smashing next adventure buddy, Donny & Maxine

    • @murchiesmountains2820
      @murchiesmountains2820  9 місяців тому

      Thanks Donny and Maxine😍👍..Mine was super heavy when I first started wild camping 😂..The Stripey Hat Guy always tells me to write down what I didn’t use on the camp😁..Glad you guys enjoyed the video 😁..You guys have a great next adventure as well.

    Good info Robert. The best I've done carrying 3 days of food and all other gear is 11.8 kg, stuffed into a 48 liter backpack! I want a larger backpack!! But, then I'll certainly carry more junk. Lol

    Absolutely amazing nice sound. I recommend you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place. Whenever you start a short solo trip of 4-5 days, Moses Peak is a must. It is a 5300m height۔ from the top of moses pea which you can see the views of the K2 world second highest peak in the world, Nangaparbat, K6 k11 and K 12 views in one frame. best time from May to October. This is a family tracked.its open Zone, one did not need a trekking permit or have to pay Royalty fee to climbed this Mountain tower

    My pack weight is normally ridiculously heavy. I usually have a bit of everything to cover most scenario's. I dont do summits like you but things like extra pegs, tarps, tarp poles, saw, and all rhe cooking equipment as kasia loves to cook all take their toll on us. I dream of 14kg never mind 11kg 😂😂 atb mate 👍🏻

    • @murchiesmountains2820
      @murchiesmountains2820  9 місяців тому +1

      I didn't really take any note until I got home I was just thinking first big summit and full kit on top would of looked great it was when two 60 year old folks come storming past me up the mountain track I felt embarrassed hahaha but I had 8 cans of larger chairs and all the other gear let's say unorganised and mental I think I'm 20 but my body knows it's not hahahaah but for sure copying you next time my bag will empty larger only hahahaha

      @murchiesmountains2820  9 місяців тому +1

      @Butchyboysadventures Nothing wrong with taking 8 cans buddy..I used to do that the. Went for the hard stuff 🥃as it’s lighter and can be put in a light container 😂👍..Though I wouldn’t take too much on a more technical mountain summit camp 😁..Covering myself there mate 😂👍
