Thanks for your comments. Good luck with your 40 walks!

Never been to Skye but from the photos and videos I have seen of the trail it looks superb. 👍

@@TheConstantHiker I bet it would be in top 5

Thank you for your comments, glad you enjoyed the video. Unfortunately, owing to my wife's deteriorating health, I have had to stop long-distance hiking. The only trip I managed since this video was filmed is a 100 mile trip on the Pennine Way.

@@TheConstantHiker Hope your wife gets better,and you have a lovely bank holiday debs xx.

Thanks for watching 🙂

Glad you enjoyed it👍

@@TheConstantHiker Pleasure is mine 🤗

I'm 5"10" but as Chris Townsend in this review www.thegreatoutdoorsmag.com/review/review-berghaus-fast-hike-45-pack/ There is only one length, so it's likely that it won't be long enough for you. All this is fairly academic thoigh because Berghaus have stopped making it since I reviewed it. regards

Yes, this mat is really for summer use only. 👍

Thanks Scott. I guess this walk brought home to me something that I have been trying to avoid admitting to myself for the last two or three long hikes. My wife's health is more important than my self-indulgences and I need to be around for her more than ever now. I will definitely keep my Tenerife Rambler channel going and if I find myself in Scotland in the future, I will definitely give you a shout. Keep up the good work in Scott's Land, take care. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥾👍🙂

Thanks, we're okay, but she needs me around more now and this hike highlighted how life is changing for both of us. ❤

Thank you. Things are different for me now. Much as I love long distance hiking, some things are more important. ♥️

Thanks Snowy, much as I love long distance hiking, my wife comes first. I'll still be able to do day hikes and overnight hikes but I can't leave her alone for long periods now. I'm looking forward to watching your Cambrian Way videos. All the best mate, take care 👍

Hi, my Stealth is a silnylon version without a rear door so in certain conditions can suffer with condensation. As I understand it, some of the newer materials cope with condensation better than silnylon and I guess the rear door option helps too. Another thing to consider is the size of the tent, there is little room to do much more than sleep in it. Most of these problems can be alleviated if using it as a tarp, which is another option. ATB 👍

Thank you for your comments, glad you liked it. all the best.

Hi, thanks for watching 👍

If I was to buy again, I would go for the 1.5. The S1 is great but interior space is limited. Having said this, it's not big issue, I really like the tent.

Thank you, glad you like it. Unfortunately, since Covid, I haven't done any long hikes and have neglected the channel somewhat. If all goes well regarding restrictions, I may be uploading a video in the next few weeks detailing my plans for another hike. All the best 🙂

Yes, the map I had at that time didn't name the hill only the village.🙂👍

Hi, glad you found the video useful.. It's best to pitch the low end of the tent into the wind but even if the wind turns during the night, I've always found it to be very stable. I would recommend using the side guy-lines to stop the sides being blown against the inner tent. All the best. 🙂

Thank you for watching 🙂

Good idea! 👍

Hi Scott, it was a bit unnerving trying to speak with gunshots going off around me! So much for the peace and quiet of the countryside! 😆 Will hope to do an update video after I've used the shoes for a while. Take care. 👍🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I would rate the upper limit somewhere around 10 kilos, which is the weight I try to avoid going over anyway. Anything more and I think the lack of padding in the shoulder straps would make it uncomfortable.

@@TheConstantHiker thank you!

Great! Hope you have a good time. I'm still hoping to get over to the UK later in the year to hike it but things are difficult at the moment with quarantine etc. Have a great hike.

@@TheConstantHiker Thanks - I'm hoping to take some video footage, hope things improve for you and you're able to come and hike in the UK very soon

Thank you 👍🙂

@@TheConstantHiker sure 😊👍

Hi Randy, good to hear from you again. As I say in the video, this virus has really disrupted my (and presumably everyone else's) plans for more long hikes in the UK. Luckily, I live in a stunning place so I can get out and walk in some beautiful places. I hope you are well, how did your CTC hike go? Gary.

The Pennine Journey is definitely on my 'bucket list' having read Wainwright's book a couple of times. Thanks for watching.

Thank you.

Hi, yes I'm lucky to have all this on my doorstep and be able to get out hiking in it. Take care, Gary.

Let's hope so Snowy, it seems a lifetime since my last long hike. 👍🙂

I can't see me getting back to the UK until the end of summer at the earliest John but I would love to get back on a long trail ASAP. ATB

Hi, I'm not doing any long-distance hiking at the moment due to Covid but I am day hiking at home in the Canary Islands. If you're interested, you can check out some of my day hikes on my other channel 'Tenerife Rambler'. Thanks for watching.

No uso el contenedor por esta razón.

@@TheConstantHiker, entonces mi respuesta es confirmada, gracias!

I'd be interested to know which one doesn't appeal to you ☺

Thank you

I think I might struggle to get any of those in my rucksack 😁

I usually have all of my gear packed in separate dry-bags because as you rightly say, no packs are really waterproof. All the best 👍

Hi, you've just highlighted that I haven't produced an update video for the solar/powerbank, something that I had forgotten to do. The powerbank certainly does work but as to 'is it worth having', I would say probably not. This is more to do with the weight and bulk, rather than functionality. In hindsight, I would probably go for a simple solar panel to charge devices or smaller powerbanks on the go. In the absence of an update video, It's worth reading my conversation with Stefan Hansen in the comments section of the powerbank video to get a better idea of my experiences of using it. Thanks.

@@TheConstantHiker Thx

Hi, glad you found the review useful. You may have to look for a used one as someone posted not long after I reviewed the pack that Berghaus have discontinued it. Not sure why they would do that as I think it's excellent for the money. Good luck with tracking one down.

Hi, I always buy half to one full size more than my normal shoe size depending on brand. Having said that, the Raptors are quite a narrow fit and although I really like them I have had to review what I wear for my long distance hikes. I now have a pair of Altra Olympus 3.0's, which are very similar in style to the Lone Peak 4's with the wide toe box but with a much thicker sole. Unlike the Lone Peak 4's these are extremely comfortable on rocky terrain although I have yet to wear them on a long hike. I am also looking at trying a pair of La Sportiva Akasha's, which have a wider toe box than the Raptors. Altra shoes are probably a better bet if you have wide feet but I would recommend trying them first. All the best.

When I lived in the UK, I walked a lot in the Chiltern Hills. I never did the Chiltern Way however. Would you recommend it?

@@TheConstantHiker Yes, I would - a lovely walk. As well as the main route there is a northern extension, a southern extension and a Berkshire loop totaling in all around 220 miles. In my list above I should have made clear that I was referring to the Suffolk Stour Valley Way as there are paths with the same name in Kent (which I have walked) and Dorset (which I haven't walked).
