How is the interior tent set up?

Not sure about the american voice but interesting topics. Good to have you and Rose back.

Could you please do a review on updated thunder pack?

Is flash pocket stretchy?

Been a while! It's good to see you back! Congrats on the good news! Lol.

I’ve just made my windshield + base, I’ve already made some pot cosies (following your instructions). I made my windshield full length (almost…1/2 cm clear at base). I only had one piece of aluminium sheet, so felt I had to get it right first time, and felt there must be a way of calculating the ‘string length’ for drawing the arcs, so I could reliably produce a cone with a top and base diameter of my choosing…so here’s the formula I came up with.:: the cone is a section of two circles, one inside the other, both having the same centre point. The inner circle section is the top of the cone round the pot, the outer circle section is the base of the cone on the ground.:: r(radius of inner circle) = (circumference of pot * height of windshield)/(circumference of base - circumference of pot). The radius of the outer circle is obviously, radius of inner + height of windshield. Use the methods shown in the video to draw the two arcs (pen on a string), and to check and mark the length of arc required (mark two midpoints on the rim, then from a centre line on the arc, roll the pan rim along the inner circle arc line, both directions from centre), then using a long ruler, held at one end on the centre point (pivot point of pen on a string), using your marks, draw the lines for the two outer edges of the cone. I also made a base, a simple circle of aluminium a couple of cm’ s larger than my cone base, and cut a square of carbon felt welding blanket approx 1cm wider than the circle base ( placed under the base circle when in use). I’ve still to punch the holes in the cone, and work out what I’m going to use to temporarily attach the cone to the base when in use…everything’s untested as yet. I made a paper version first, tested it with my set up (no fire/ flames), made a few modifications, retested it, then used my final paper version as a template on the aluminium sheet. This definitely took more than 10 mins! So if you don’t have the patience/time, or you have aluminium sheeting to spare, you will want to follow the method in the video, and not bother with the exacting possibly overfussy approach above…but it might be useful to someone. I use meths burner or twigs, in the pocket stove, or honey stove from backpackinglight.co.uk . I have seen metal collars that attach just below the burner, and above any burner controls, for gas cylinder stoves, to protect the cylinder from down reflected heat from a short windshield cone. You could make your own, but you’d have to test its effectiveness thoroughly, and don’t sue me if you blow up!

Sorry to see you go - you were head and shoulders the best online service I ever got, loved the skittles and the handwritten note. I still have my gossamer gear from back then, all the kit has been brilliant and is still going strong. You did a good thing. best of luck with the next phase.

Great video! What's the segment lenght of the 163 pole? Thanks

good luck in life bob and rose...sorry to see the shop gone, I was an early adopter of your honey stove, I even got a shout in a podcast of yours (pete in the bivi listening to you)..

Thanks for sharing your story Bob. Looking forward to this new chapter in the Outdoors Station. Good luck.

Good review. I'm looking at this pack online, seeing to fit it when I get back to New Zealand

Is this mixture generally safe for coleman tent fabric, if so im doing this asap. Great video nonetheless.

Make the clips longer and the lower part shorter and you might actually be able to curl the wind shield into the pot. Of course it would still need to cover the stove. I will give it a try.

Thank you! =)

真面目にレビューしとんのに最後全力で演奏してるのウケる

Question. A# lift a folded hem and seal under it, or B # overlap the two panels. ? Many thanks

Wouldn't you be better off just having a thermos?? They even make them for food now so this is just homemade garbage really!!

Almost an exact copy of the Vango Helium UL tent

Awesome

It was great to be a part of this Bob, thank you for the opportunity. I was a bit nervous but I think this helped to break the ice 😊 Thank you for everyone that tuned in and listened our story, and for all the positive comments and great people we got to chat with! Don't forget abkut the discount running till the end of March!

Great to tune in to some of this earlier, before I went out for a sunny run. It was wonderful to get a sense of the exhibitors, especially since our day at the show yesterday we dedicated most of our day at the event to listening to the motivational speakers. Keep up the excellent work.

Thank you :)

Hi Bob, welcome back! I've always enjoyed your content and found it top notch quality. I enjoyed the running show live stream and will be going to the outdoor expo in person so will look out for you. Completely understand what you say about the challenges of modern world social media, just focus on what you enjoy doing and at whatever pace suits you - take care.

Nice one Bob, good luck for Sunday, looks good

Is it possible to remove the metal bar for further compression during flight e.g.?

which one is actually better for lower back? i also read the trailblazer pockets arent useful when the load is full as the fabric is stretchy, hard to even open it. can anyone comment?

u did extremely well for the first time! very helpful i keep watching and watching before I buy

Very helpful, thank you! 👍

A few years ago, poundland were selling those car window protectors. These ones are flexible foam backed foil instead of bubble wrap foil type. I got around 6 of them. Extremely light and compact and many uses. Putting one over a tent inners large mesh ventilater at one end, Laying over tent inner in cold weather, putting over me, reflective layer under or over camping mat, wraping cooking pots/foil bags (multiple layers with one protector). Heat reflector for fire. Wrapping up takeaway meals.... Keeping frozen food frozen/cold for longer (wrap in newspaper first to absorb condensation).To stop slipping around ie with mats a few strips/squares of that rubbery non slip mesh material also from p land. To put pots/cups on as a table, one of those thick foam kneelers, also great to sit or kneel on in the cold/wet, can also use to fan a fire. One thing I notice though with so many camping videos, that makes me cringe when they are using gas, is how high they turn it up, wasting at least 50% of the gas. Likewise to save gas, a windshield.

I listened to the first one, I am back for this second episode. Having gone rowing a few times myself, I can relate to quite a few of the things mentioned here. At the same time, I am curious as to why they needed that many days, eight, for such a relatively-short distance. While a packraft is not very fast, it is still faster than my raft (sort of an elongated doughnut), and I can cover in excess of 20 kilometres on a slow, or bad, day in it. On fast waters, I can reach speeds of up to 12 km/h (that happened at the very end of 2023, when I covered 23 km in about three hours and fifteen minutes of barely rowing). Insects - mosquitos, in particular - are always a concern when on, or around, the water; that is why it is quite surprising to see how these packrafters were taken aback by them. Perhaps, they did not have the right repellant? When, a couple of years ago, I went, for weeks, on a river renowned for, and even feared because of, the high density of mosquitos on it, I had two different types of repellant on the boat; I used one of them and was fine. The secret was to merely spray the little patches of skin which stayed exposed during the critical moments in the evenings: face, ears, neck, and fingers. It would certainly be nice if such questions, which everyone following the story surely has, could be put to the packrafters themselves. Until we get such a chance, we are looking forward to the next conversations.

Hey Ben - your mobile device has volume control and an off button 😂

The front harness pockets on the trailblazer are great for the rubber tips of your walking poles, especially if you're changing from road to mud a lot. Also a micro towel and my keys go in there on my 24l. Although the pockets on the 44l look a lot bigger and you probably don't need easy access to your car keys on a weekend trip like you do on a day hike. It is lovely having them in the front of the day pack when you get back to the car just as it starts pissing down with rain though 😂

Pole Mushrooms: Asking for a friend . . . Can ya grind ‘em up and smoke ‘em? Seriously, they really only come in handy for supporting large center non-grommet areas. Mark me as a “nahhhh, no thanks!”

The risk bit: the exact opposite of what other people say; for instance, Nouria Newman: „Kayaking is really rough. And kayaking, when you start, just... it just sucks: you're cold, you're wet, you flip, you're stuck under the boat, you need to get to shore, empty that boat, and in that way, I think, packrafting will also make whitewater more accessible because the boats are stable and there's a lot you can already do without risking to flip, and then there's a lot, like, cool little stuff you can do without risking flips, so, maybe, like, kayakers will get to packrafting to do multidays and not carry boats or multi-activity stuff, but I also think that, maybe, packrafting is also a way to introduce someone to white water and then, you know, they don't have to be scared and cold all the time; they can also have a good time” (ua-cam.com/video/J-RNy19RxDw/v-deo.html). How can such different positions be explained?

Found your channel by chance looking at Megahorn reviews , some interesting Topics discussed, so I have subscribed. Thanks

How thick is the foil? 0.6th of an inch?? I can’t translate that into mm

Been using one of these for past 3 years, been brilliant, got it off amazon for 20 odd delivered , amazon no longer sell them, been looking at the luxe bath tub duo but cant justify the cost to buy it at 40 odd quid plus delivery makes it too exspensive

just started reading this book which is well written & full of fascinating info about this incredible woman. Too many women are abused by men & back then you didn't discuss it with anyone. You just endured. So sad but she shows how resilient she was despite her experience.

The quality of there products has gone down hill significantly,..warranty etc is not being honoured New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦

Great to have a new product video from you Bob! I'm still enjoying the V4A you sold me (in person) in 2015 - how about another Show Day Event one day?

first!

Set up my new Hexpeak in the back garden and going to use your instructions and get on with the seam sealing tomorrow!💪😎

Whats the purpose of that really long black ribbon material on the f6a? There are two if i recall correctly

Any idea what the actual length of the metal support bar is? Im wondering if this would go on a plane as "large" hand luggae which is limited to 55cm length.

For those who are on the shorter side, read this. I'm 5'7, or 170cm tall and the mens version rides stupidly high when adjusted to proper height. You will be much better off getting the womens version.

Isit light

Just bought same tent, brown one😊. Handy instructions! Cheers from new Dutch subscriber Was wondering if it's a good idea to seal inside as well? Btw consistency also resembles children's hobby glue😊

I do wish they would bring the old style one back. They one with one door. I still love that tent. 😊 However I do still think it is a great and under estimated tent.

Plenty of room for a folding bike to be stored inside the vestible area
