 Hello, welcome to another video. In this video we're looking at the things that I take with me on a multi-day winter hike which is something that I've got planned. So normally you'd wait for sort of spring summer so you get a lot of daylight hours to hiking but I have some plans. I have plans it's a it's roughly a week long hike and so I've put this kit together to it's sort of a compromise between warmth and lightweight so I thought I'd let you have a little look before I head off on the hike itself. Firstly look we'll go for the boots. The boot of choice is my lower renegades or lower renegades I never know how to say it and these are waterproof unlike the trail runners which my thought was if you're if you're using the trail runners you accept that they're going to get wet and then dry off quickly but in winter they would get wet and then this wouldn't dry my feet would get cold um it's just not cool so and on the hike I'm going to it's quite a well trodden paths it's not there won't be any really long grass or anything so my feet should keep relatively dry so we're going to go for the lowers. One pair of socks these are all this is just the things that I'll be wearing while I'm going down tough socks love them a hat just any old hat not shout out nor the monk. Gloves these are their trek mates with the sort of reinforced bit in the middle there for with your walking poles and those on the finger there so you can use your electronic devices my underpants shout out Nordic Outdoors I've got a couple of different pairs of these sacks underway if you know you know and on the top we've got my t-shirt it's just a crag oppa crag oppa t-shirt and then above that this is my sort of my base layer shout out Nordic Outdoors again it's actually my merino wool lightweight base layer and then I'll just use it I've got a puffer jacket in there that I'll just chuck up at the top of that and then my trousers I've seen these before for anyone who's regular these are my uh mountain mountain pants so everything's a lot different to when I did the Cape Raff trail things are geared around warmth and relatively dry not like the highlands of Scotland where I was up to me I was up to be nutting water a lot of the time on to the outside me hiking poles with some duct tape round there because you never know always comes in handy these are black diamond hiking poles with the cork handles don't know exactly what make they are mate but I'll leave a link to everything below my rucksack oh she's got a bit wet because it's there's a lot of snow and ice on ground over there I'll show you she'll believe me look there you go look it's been snowing this is the gossamer gear g420 I've done a separate review of this which I'll I'll place up here now or there you can have a look at what's that so 5.9 5.9 so in the outside of the bag our access to me uh to my puffer jacket which is the it's a patagonia lightweight what is it I don't know it's like micro light or anyway it's a super lightweight one I'll leave a link below and then also in the outside waterproof stuff got this which is a it's a collaboration run hill and mountain equipment it's a shaped dry gorex very lightweight very waterproof as well also on the outside of the pack my burghouse deluge waterproof trousers all quick to get that on the outside of the pack as well I have two of these bottles on one of the sides smart bottles and the good thing about this pack is that one side of the one side of the outside pouch is lower and it's cut on an angle so you can reach back and grab your bottles and I'll have two in there and I'll just rotate them and fill them up as I go the other pocket on the outside that's my tent very small very lightweight it's the gossamer gear the one and that just fits perfectly in there and frees up a lot of room on the inside of the pack from the other stuff here's a little tip for you not a tip but so a little mod that I've done all that I'm doing at the moment is uh these little loops here on the corner instead of having to tie them out separately which I've done in past sometimes we're just like a little twig or something like that uh you take some shot cord and just tie it off real simple note actually because we don't want to be stuck on forever but simple like that and then say about that just a length like this maybe a footing length because it'll always it'll always stretch stretch out and then we're going to put a loop in the end there do that on all four corners it just saves you a saves you messing about it's got a top zip on it which I've got my Garmin in reach mini which I will not need for this trek because I'm not in the wilds but I paid a lot of money for it mate so I might as well take it because you never know you never know best to be safe and sorry and then I've got a shit shovel in the top there I mean knife of choice boom spider core that's a spider core bug very lightweight I just use it to like open my freeze dried meals or just to cut and slice little things it's not going to be exactly batting or anything but does what I need it to do when it's super lightweight right let's have a look at goodie bag so in the top I do I keep everything in this rubble sack which is a I think it's a 45 litre rubble sack just keep everything extra waterproof first thing be possible a bag I run through this quick so I've got wipes um water purifier which is the um sea knock whatever it's called a canock brilliant thing and then in that I've got the uh soya micro squeeze link's been there for everything anyway but there it is the first aid kit which has got a mirror tweezers and pin relief tablets uh compeds like laster plasts just in a ziplock bag very lightweight bamboo toothbrush and mini toothpaste in there me turks I shall have a look eh why not my turks long handled spoon for getting into bottom it freeze dried meals and I've got my I've got a new one hook me the one finally gave up the finally cacti cell me the one it almost worn through so it's just to like my fire fire steel so the hike I'm going to do is going to be about five or six days so I've got a few of these hand warmers which it's just in case they don't wear much at all and use a chuck one of your sleeping bag on a night and it's still warm in the morning just to get your hands going your fingers going so that's worth it for me because as well if I if I walk past a B&B or a pub or summit and I and I fancy it I'll just stay there for night see how things pan out I don't like to plan things too much because it takes away takes away the element of adventure for me and I like to be a little bit spontaneous what else we got cupcake stabiliser for the gas msr pocket rocket two and a turks titanium 500 millilitre pot with a lid in there as well and that'll fit my gas canister going now and you need a small gas canister because there'll be plenty of places to eat enroute but I will take a couple of freeze dried meals just in case pink sponge just as a towel and to mainly just to wipe the condensation off the inside of the tent because this time of year condensation is a thing trichology pillar what's this these are my oh so I'll have all my clothes on them other clothes this is just sort of for when I get to camp there's my camp yeah come on there's my camp shoes which I've shown you that before it's just them it's two bread bags just two bread bags and you you've put them over your socks and then on back on with your shoes if they're wet shouldn't be too much of a problem this time because the the lower's our waterproof but for the weight of it it's worth bringing spare pair spare pair of zacks spare pair of darn tough socks I'll rotate the socks as I go I just need two pairs and then I've got me thicker these are aclymer marina wool these are slightly thicker than me the ones that I took on the Cape Rath trail and again another aclymer marina wool top and that's got an integrated hood in it as well so perfect perfect option for when you're snoozing get them in there because I don't want to be having to muck about again do you want to flying through it I like doing these because in a way as well it's me reminding myself I forgot out because you always type about what about this I'm like you're right mate I didn't think so for winter here we go nature hike down trousers or pants I don't care what you say you call them what you will pants trousers leg condoms oh the robin where is he there he is look at him ah he's gone yeah side note I'm training another robin to land on my hand that's the robin I'm training it's coming nowhere near me and but I'm leaving millworms on that stump and I rarely see him go on there and so that was good I've totally gone sidetracked yeah these are me down trousers pants whatever you want to call them leg sheets and I've got a little snood in there as well phoront knight it gets card I mean mat of choice on this one has to be kind of a bulky unit but that's the therm arrest x therm extra large with its bag that you can use to blow it up because again winter condensation and whatnot and I used it a lot of that bag on the cake rough trail so happy days bag of choice look new bag the rab neutrino 600 rab neutrino 600 um and I'll have a couple of maps with me because why not I mean an an OS downloaded onto my phone and then just maybe some trail snacks in the belt I'm not going to take a chest pouch don't really need it as I say it's only five or six days yeah I'm looking forward to it mate it brings its own challenges of um just hiking maybe hiking in the dark for some of it and having a decent torch torch torch work there I've got torts in that torch is the the petal bindi very lightweight indeed and I will need it I mean I never used the torch on the cake rough trail because it's time of year and and whatnot but I'm imagining I'll be doing a bit of night hiking because it gets darker like our free phone you sometimes you don't want to stop then and have to spend that many hours in your tent so who knows I might end up your batting on it dark or staying in a bnb or whatever right sorry I've not been putting many videos out of late because my truck died on me and it's caused me all sorts of problems which I won't go into but I've not been able to get out doing any filming videos I've had to take a bit of a back seat I'm hoping to get it back you know sometime this week and when I do I'll be going off on a long distance hike so if you want to stay tuned for a multi-day hike click the subscribe button you'll be notified when I upload that that's it thanks for watching I
