Video: 14 lb winter base weight.

Just watched Part Two.
Another excellent vid-thanks for sharing.
You mentioned me in reference to using the Wallcreeper as pod...just so everybody knows it was MacIntyre who pointed that out to me at the Uhwarrhie hang.
The ONLY thing I don't like about your system--and it's flawless in many ways--is the possibility of forgetting your tree huggers; that said I love the way you have secured the Marlin Spikes by attaching them to the free end of the tree huggers.

Pretty impressive kit and I enjoyed the presentation! Looks like you're having some great camping temps!

Hey Blaze - Thanks for the videos, they were great. You've got a great set of gear that's sure to keep you warm and toasty. I like that your pack has your name on it.

[MedicineMan]

Good point about the amount of gear into the Ohm....I never would have considered a full on winter kit in an Ohm....and I've been putting UQ/TQ/Hammock into an eVent.
Thanks to BlazeAway and others I'm picking up a turkey roasting bag later today and will give that a go....claws crossed.

Thanks for the great videos Blaze. I always look forward to new videos from you. Well done.

[BlazeAway]

nice video. im still watching the second one as I type but what is going around your hammock. is that a type of peapod?

edit: sorry just saw polar pod! nice gear

Yeah that is the Speer PolarPod with the Exped Dreamwalker 650 L and WB Traveler.

I certainly didn't think it was cold enough in the Northern Hemisphere to be needings a polar pod and and exped dreamwalker for insulation. However I looked up the weather forecast for Copenhagen and saw that the temps are hovering around 18C for the day time high and 15C for the night time low. That isn't much variation between the two.

Looks like you've got yourself a great system worked out. Looking forward to field reports on your system when full on winter arrives in your area.

Cheers

Brian

It is far to warm for my liking at the moment. Below 10 C at night and I am happy.

hey blaze, well done. nice video and great system.

sv-

My preferred gear at the moment.

nice video. you talk funny LOL (i have no room to tulk wit my Joisey akkent)

We all have our peculiarities. But you should see me live. It is a real treat some times.

Were those LEATHER pants? That's pretty METAL

I road a hock for 9 years, summer and winter (Yahama XT 600 E). Love my pants.

i noticed that as well...i'm impressed with 14lbs! you had a lot of stuff in that pack. i love the way people from the other side of the pond say al-u-min-nee-um.

you had a lot of gear from the US - do you get hammered on duties for that?

where is that parka from? do you have a name or web site link?

Yes duties are tough on us on the other side.

Great vids again Blazeaway

Thanks Shewie. Glad you liked it.

Very awesome. Like how that sleeping bag turns into a coat!

Sleeping bag, quilt, coat and pod. A multipurpose gear so to speak.

Those are the coolest hiking pants I've see in a while!
I noticed you said 'all secure', is that Shug's influence spreading across the world or what!
Thanks again for using VIMEO!

It is a small contagious world. Yeah, Shug is the one to blame.

Thanks MedicineMan.
Have you got any trick that will help me so that I don’t forget the tree huggers?

Pretty impressive kit and I enjoyed the presentation! Looks like you're having some great camping temps!

Oh, no, no. I have lately come to hate the summer when I am hiking, because of the temps being too high for my liking. Night temp should be no higher than 10 C.

Yes, a turkey roasting bag is the way to go I think. Should be a lot lighter than a regular waterproof stuff sack.

Thanks for the great videos Blaze. I always look forward to new videos from you. Well done.

Good one Redoleary.

Great video ! It's great to see others using Exped "Wallcreeper" now called the "Dreamwalker" . A go to piece of kit and don't leave home

Great to see it being used on the other side of the pond as a peapod, quilt,
sleeping bag & parka as it was ment to be used.

Thanks fourdog. I wonder if the not to leave home without goes for the BUSHCOOKER Lt I too, since I have just this minute ordered one from your website.

[dragon360]

Great videos as always Blaze. Always look forward to them. And congrats on the LT1. Just picked up one myself.

I have been using the same turkey roaster bag for 18 trail nights and 150 trail miles. It's a bit wrinkly but haven't ripped or punctured it yet.
