Im stickin with the ol Peak 1 coleman 400..

I stand by the BRS-3000t 100% My stove of choice is the Toaks 750ml. Over 2000 miles of use later, no issues. That Walmart piece of crap is priced $6 for a reason. I went out with a buddy on a 4 day trip. He just bought that stove and was bragging about the cost. He had problems with it every night. The striker never worked (had to resort to using a lighter). Second night, one of the legs snapped off and every time he did get a flame, it would putter out and he’d have to re-light it. Garbage. GET THE BRS.

14$ at Walmart Comes with a base stand and a propane to butane adapter

I'm looking for budget 4th generation night vision goggles...can you recommend any? 👌🏼

This was so so helpful!

On the flextail website, it shows the zero pump being used to deflate vacuum bags and being used to blow on a fire.

A true weenie would leave the battery at home, blow the pad up by mouth and still espouse it's greatness...😂🤘

Mainly a winter camper, below freezing. I use synthetic bags for truck camping, and those never gets compressed. Washed when needed. My backpacking down bag lives in big storage bag on top shelf. I use a compression bag when camping, try to not have it in there for more than 24 hours.. sucks if it gets wet from condensation, definitely loses temp value the more days you are out.

I store my synthetic sleeping bag folded in half in my large travel suitcase that I only use once a year or so. Makes my suitcase earn its space in my storage instead of being empty taking up precious space.

Thank you for the info!

In about a week there will be good deals at Walmart where they have marked down Christmas tree storage boxes that go under a bed. All of my expensive bags are stored in those tucked under the bed.

I bought a northface bag around 1987. It was a 0° bag. I used it all through boyscouts then in the army up in Utah mountains. Many hikes on the Appalachian Trail and woods of Western Maryland and Pennsylvania. I used this bag until it was stolen around 2010. My point is i was never cold bag was only used in winter and not every winter. These gear salesman will always come up with something to sell more gear. Next i consider hard learned experience. Always change your clothes for sleeping. Never sleep in your hike outfit. I always have long underwear in my bag sometimes sweat pants as well. If your bag is lightweight use a poncho liner for added warmth without much weight. Before I got a good bag and some trips using other gear i took poncho liner to stop leaking zipper. In extreme conditions we used handwarmers the old fuel ones. Put them in a thick sock at bottom of bag. You won't believe how warm you sleep. I was stationed at Dugway proving grounds. Every year was extreme weather. The mountains of Utah are something everyone needs to experience but don't go without someone experienced. It will give you a real life lesson on how incredible our ancestors really where.

Ummm. So how would this be explained? My sleeping bag came in the compresssion sack when i bought it. It wasn't in the big storage mesh bag. The mesh bag only shipped with it. It had probably been stored like that after the manufacturer initially manufactured/created it, then got shipped to the distributor, to amazon, to across the globe to the customer. Possibly months, or even years in storage in the compressed state. So technically it's already "ruined" if we go by this rationale

Oh god it makes so much sense why my down 0° comfort didn't feel like comfort at 10° - it's been stored in the warehouse in the sack for years. Great video, subbed!

Great tips! I never check for updates on my inReach Mini 2.

Pliars in backpacking are for moving hot pots out of the fire, tightening or loosening other gear, etc. The long blade isn't for protection. Only an idiot would think it made them safe from bears. It's for fires on overnight trips. You sound unreasonably scared of a simple pocket knife.

I wish I had a room/big closet I could hang my sleeping bags in. I have used that trick before too were I will lay a bag I haven't used in a long time out on a spare bed to let it loft up fully before the trip.

Big knives aren't useful against cougars, because your hands are full of hiking poles and you can't find your knife in time to fight off a bear....? Ok. Knife too heavy, bring a carabineer thing and pack of blades...? Ok.

Always a great topic to discuss. Most ultralight backpackers I know either do not carry a knife, or carry a Victorinox SD. I too pursued SUL and UL baseweights. 5 lbs baseweight in the summer and 8-10 lbs during spring and falls months, 15 lbs baseweight for winter months. I could never ditch a small fixed blade and a small leatherman squirt. (Total weight approx 4 oz) Once I started backpacking with the kids and other friends and family I started carrying approx 1 lb of cutting tools since most folks like having a campfire. When you have 10-15 lbs total weight I don’t really mind having a fixed blade and a medium sized multitool. You can also distribute weight of other tools amongst other members of the group. Also I tend to like having pliers to use with cooking pots as well as the occasional gear repair. At least this is my experience. When you go in a group especially with kids as well as less experience people you encounter more issues that may require additional tools. Since I am usually the one who organizes and invites people, having a minimum of 8 oz of tools gives me peace of mind as I am also responsible for the rest of my group.

I do use small pliers in the backcountry as a pair of small, strong, precise fingers for threading buckles, elastic in tent poles, shoelaces, etc.

IMO something like the CRKT Biwa or BRK ultralight bushcrafter are worth the couple ounces weight because, it makes me able to filet fish, make kabobs or marshmallows sticks, prep food, and be generally prepared for emergencies in the woods. A small knife like in this video is not capable enough to cut hard material like wood and in my personal experience has broken while camping. Swiss army classic has larger blade, scissors, is more comfortable, smaller and far more popular to carry on through hikes than the knife in your video. As someone with a lifelong passion for the woods, I have always seen a knife as an essential part of the experience.

I agree you almost never need a multi-tool and don't always need a real knife, but when you do, you really need one and that scalpel won't be enough. I would never get more than a few hours from my car without a reliable knife. I have been on a couple of trips where someone got unexpectedly wet and I had to build a fire to deal with hypothermia. If I had that scalpel and not a real knife we would have been in a real bad spot. I have several really good folding knives (Benchmade bugout, lightweight Spydercos) that are less than 2 oz. While it's not ideal, I have used them to chop branches, split wood, and make a featherstick. My fixed blade fire craft knife is only 3 oz. I guess if your taking a GPS that has a search and rescue call you could go with just a scalpel, but I don't think the weight saving justifies the risk you might need something more than a scalpel. I would say that if an extra 1 or 2 ozs makes the difference to someone, they should probably revaluate their physical fitness. A person would get a lot more benefit losing a few pounds from their gut than switching from a lightweight knife to a scalpel.

Nope. Didn't come close to convincing me. Some of your arguments against certain knives have some merit but I feel like they were exaggerated and overstated. That particular knife seems very awkward to hold. If you want a scalpel, then just put a scalpel in your first aid kit, that's where they belong; it makes no sense to me to attach it to a carabiner especially if that is your only knife. In the true backcountry, or even when camping, I will always have a proper knife, made of modern steel with excellent edge retention, that has been properly sharpened. It won't be a "giant" knife, but it will be useful.

The chances are fairly good that you will need a decent blade for some task(s). Heck, even if you just bring an Opinel No. 6. It's super light weight yet functional and worth the few ounces for many reasons.

This will be perfect when I do a through hike through downtown city. Exactly suited for carving feather sticks with the Starbucks coffee stirrer I'd discover in the concrete jungle! Oh yes! Reducing an ounce of weight is so critically important that my ultralight tissue pack will be destroyed if I carried anything more than a disposable blade from my child's art&craft box. It help prevent dementia too by forcing me to keeping thinking of new ways to use the carabiner which I otherwise have very little use for. Ultimate it promotes global financial health by supporting overpriced products from the far east that pays their workers well enough to keep doing cardio in their sweat shops.

Without being too rude I can say your video sucks. Person using your advice might die in emergency situation. And that's on you

While I think you downplayed the usefulness of conventional full sized knives for camping, I do agree that having an interchangeable blade and extra blades on hand is great for emergency medical operations. That’s a nice aspect to have in a tool while camping

This "guy" definitely drinks soy.

If you are planning on having a sunny day and assuming that nothing may happen to you while you're in the wilderness, by all means don't take a tool to make a splint if you fall and sprain or break your ankle or make a fire if you actually become stranded.

so if i catch a fish, dont think ill be using that

Glamping..... Affiliate link in description...

Did anyone agree with you?😂 Yeah you don't need a rambo style bowie knife in the woods, but a 3" fixed blade is just common sense. I see it more as a edc tool.

I listened to you and I disagree with you.

It appears to me you were frightened by a sharp useful object at an early age. Speedy recovery and Merry Christmas.

Why not just a sharp piece of rock. Who needs a fancy metal blade, and you can probably find a sharp rock on the trail. It's unreasonable to think, "it's better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it". Just find a sharp rock along the way.

Sorry sweetheart I’m bringing a real knife not some gadget not worth picking my nose with.

I will be as cordial as possible and just say I disagree with everything you have stated.

General rule for youtube : If you have 1m+ subscribers, feel free to sell stuff. If you have 100k, it's OK to try to sell stuff. If you have less than 100k and try to sell stuff, you are doomed to fail and probably deserve it.

Completely agree. These are the only flashlights use and they literally do everything.

RovyVon also has a U4 Pro+ Plus with a blade and screwdriver.And it's all 20% off right now. It lasts until the 21st.

I used my Leatherman a couple of years ago to fix my stove. A fitting had come loose and caused a large fire. I was able to fix it and even saved dinner. This was up in the Rawah wilderness and during a fire ban so the stove was very important.

That is perfect! ⛺️🥾🥾

Blunted scissors with a blade length less than 4 inches is all thats permissable on a plane, no other exceptions. Scalpels, knives doesn't matter how small. I commented down below.

biting the end of the salami off.....what kind of savage are you?

Appreciate your perspective on these pumps; although I don't entirely agree. One point, the Zero (my version) actually takes two, relatively rapid pushes on the power button to turn on, plus the button is flush with the wall of the pump, so it's hard to see accidental activation as a concern. You make some good points though about quicker inflation and multiple uses for less money with the Tiny Pump X though. Thanks for your time and well reasoned arguments!

Just tonight I'm changing oil on both of my vehicles in the dark, raining with temps near freezing. I'm wearing a knit cap with no bill. when winter camping: same. This would make a nice back up, but not replace a headlamp.

Love this, new step dad here and I’ve been searching around for ideas. Thanks

What is the 3rd valve on the bottom used for?

Isn’t it a given that a hygrometer isn’t waterproof?

What stuck in my routines is a AA or AAA light with a double ended pocket clip. If you wear a baseball hat, it goes on your head and hands free about as quick as you can turn it on. The AA and AAA are small enough that its not a burden in the pocket and you actually carry it everywhere. That, and I only run eneloop rechargeable batteries. Alkaline batteries eventually leak and ruin the device. Lithium ions may have a high output, but are hell on environment and dont have a fraction of the cycle life. Rovyvon is a good example of L. Ion batteries… might last a year if discharged and recharged almost daily. Eneloops can go a decade. My old green wrapper ones are still going.
