      In Swedish (Thule is a Sweden brand) it would be pronounced more like Tu+Le with th “u” in “tu” being similar to “ue” in “nue” and “le” similar to french “les” or like “le” in “lego”. The exact “u”-sound doesn’t exist in english though.

    Thanks for the review! This is useful, because there are so many different variants of this pad that Nemo has released that it's hard to find the correct info. Do you have a source on the 1.6 R-value? I cannot find any official Nemo pages for this pad (it's easier to find info on the insulated version, for whatever reason).

    • @thedanwatts9571
      @thedanwatts9571 7 месяцев назад

      I thought I replied to this but I guess not. It's an older version and I don't think they make the short version anymore. So r-value was accurate for the old version but not their newer model.

    • @Jhollowed25
      @Jhollowed25 7 месяцев назад

      @@thedanwatts9571 Yes I agree with this. I ask because I have the exact same version as you; short non-insulated tensor pad from a few years ago. Pretty sure I have the same one. It does not say "insulated" on the stuff sack or the pad, and it's the same color as yours and has the same valve. But I've never been able to find any source on the R value for it, other than your video. Mine is, however, missing the tag, inside the stuff sack, which maybe would have information. Do you have a tag/manual/link that says this anywhere? Thanks so much!

      Depends on the airline. It might be too long for some. The width and depth are fine, but it is quite tall and you can't reduce the height because of the frame system. Plus it has a lot of straps that airlines don't like.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with the Hoosier Sugar Cream Pie recipe! I'm getting ready to attempt my first try at making one soon! I have so many different recipes, it's hard to choose which one to try first! My only suggestion is that I would not recommend using a graham cracker crust for baking a pie in the oven for an hour - as with this sugar cream pie recipe. My understanding is that graham cracker crusts are typically used for chilled pies or cheesecakes. Using a regular pastry crust (made with butter, flour, salt & water) is probably better for this recipe. Good job on the video!

    With a 1:16 HM time the speed is definitely there. Maybe the Pfitz 18/70 would have been a better fit for you. It gives more time to work on your endurance. I think that with the right training a sub 2:45 would be a realistic goal for you.

    • @thedanwatts9571
      @thedanwatts9571 9 месяцев назад

      Hey there, thanks for the comment, always surprised when people find this video! I was able to run 2:52:59 this year at Boston with only a minor blow up at mile 22-23 using the Pfitz 18/70 (well more like 18/65 with shorter recovery days). Then lowered my half PR to 1:14:37 this fall using a DYI Daniels plan. So yea, I'm technically capable of better at the marathon but I'm wondering if I might have inefficient form or body type to really meet my potential at the marathon. Maybe I should do a marathon with less hills for once.

    • @davidosolo
      @davidosolo 9 месяцев назад

      @@thedanwatts9571 Hi Dan, thanks for the update. Good to know that you already came that close to your marathon goal. Your HM PR indeed seems to suggest the capacity of an even faster marathon time. But I wouldn’t get to obsessed about that. You are right that the marathon is a whole other ball game and probably requires more adaptations than those generated by training only. Get yourself tested in a lab and see how you are tapping in into your fat burning for example. If there is room for improvement, the right diet and/or intermediate fasting might make the difference. That being said: what are your 5k and 10k times? It might very well be possible that you are just more a fast twitch than a slow twitch guy. There is not a lot you can do about that. But instead of complaining about a "relatively slow" marathon time (which IMOin your case is lightening fast anyway) why not just celebrate your amazingly fast HM PR instead?

    I just bought the 35 but probably won't get a chance to use it until next spring. The thing is you don't even need a quilt to do this and I've been doing it with my sleeping bags for a long time because I'm a side sleeper who cannot fall asleep on my back or if I'm wound up in something as tends to happen when you roll around in a zipped up sleeping bag. The 35 was on sale for $147 and I had a bunch of reward points built up, so I went ahead and bought it for a massive weight and pack size reduction versus what I'm using now with a similar temp rating, which is a military surplus bag with synthetic Primaloft insulation. That's a great bag and pretty light and squishy for a synthetic, but the Nitro is lighter by pounds and way more compressible. I already know it's going to have that funky duck down smell just like my 20f Sierra bag, but I don't really care about that.
