That was a really great video, with a lot of good tips. Although, I’m not new to being in an alpine environment, it’s always good to get other’s perspective on different topics. Like that Rab Latok mountain tent. It’s a tent I’m considering for alpine adventures. Great video, great job. ATB from Norway 🇳🇴

Looks amazing.

Great info!

Are there loops on the inside of the fly to mount lights, etc?

Kinda salty they’ve released this as now I have to decide between it and a Moondance 😂

Thanks for the review. Would have loved to see a demonstration on folding and unfolding of the table.

Which is recommended for a packraft of the Franklin River going up to Grade 3 whitewater?

My gravel panniers completely fell apart at the welded seems after 5 years on 2nd day of overseas tour. They were great until that day

Great insight, thanks! What model are those panniers? They look pretty small. 13L or so each?

What surly are you riding

Good to see you fitted water bottle cages to forks. Panniers are the go, small front panniers are good all rounders for use front or rear. Thank you for sharing 👍

Great review of set up, features and uses. Thanks for the great work.

20% bigger packed than a Nalgene bottle? Looks more like almost twice the diameter and a bit longer. Even the Mont web site states "compressed dimensions" 19x28cm which according to google is more like eight liters and not one (assuming it's close to a cylinder in shape). But you could measure yourself. Anyway, look like a nice tent, but you get a lot of pressure on the floor where the pole sits. I've used a pyramid tent for many years and often put a sit pad under the pole to distribute the weight more. What I'd like to see is a floor with a hole for the pole and a way to fasten the floor material to the pole maybe 5cm off the ground, but never seen anyone do this so far. Same at the top btw. You get a lot of pressure there too. My pyramid tent actually have hole at the top where the tip of the pole protrude from a small metal ring. That would work well with a hiking pole setup too and avoid too much pressure directly on the fabric. You'd think a hole would let water, but I've spend a lot of rainy nights without that happening.

I am great fan of Icebreaker, expensive but stays in perfect state for decades

Looks like a great tent for bike packing...but not in yellow. How about a colour that blends in?

Fits a good niche in the market. Not many decent Mids that aren't DCF. Such a shame it is nylon though (sil/pu too) as it'll likely sag a stack when it absorbs water. Would have been great if it was sil-poly. I've got nothing against sil-nylon, my nylon Tarptent Double Rainbow is awesome, but it's not a great fabric for these trekking pole/tension tents IMO. Shame

Great video from Tom's as always.

You can buy much better American-made gear for the prices Mont ask. They're a typical price-gouging Australian brand that gets their gear made in China just like almost every other brand. Oh, and that packed-up outer isn't 20% bigger than your Nalgene bottle, it takes up about 3-4x the cubic area (take your pick between metric and imperial)...

Excellent, comprehensive review :)

Quite deceptive advertising on the Mont site. The tent fly is only 595gm. To have a tent with the inner means over 1kg. Even with the one person setup!

Thanks Chris, a great showcase of the Hypermid's features. Love Mont. Greg.

how tall are you 168 cm or 170 cm ?

Is the pocket rocket capable of cooking full meals? Thanks from Alabama, US

The Unbound. Thats the one i will get

Nice, i wrap it around my water bottles and bic lighter and other stuff...thanks for the new ideas and the vids!

What about suede hiking boots? I had used a was and all it did was make the leather a magnet for dust. Should I stick with a silicone type spray? Thanks

what if i got a little slash in my waders

where is the Unbound 40?"

Yes this is a good question. No doubt the right tool for the job is always best. Thus I purchased several different felling axes and a splitting axe. But in a pinch my forest axe will do it all. 😁

2:56 - Moondance is getting hammered by the wind because it’s not guyed out properly

Worth noting is that the Barent Pro is not made to be extra long but made to be fitted to you by a tailor. Hence, all the extra material

Saw the Altra Olympus 5 Hike Mid GTX in person and wasn't particularely impressed by the quality and doesn't seem like they would last very long in rocky terrain. The Olympus 6 on the other hand felt like a big leap both in quality and durability. I was very impressed by the fit and finish, hold, softer sole, even the laces felt better. I am currently between the Olympus 6 and Hoka Kaha 2, they're about the same price.

Great Video. Just a question. What part do you recommend should be against the wind (in windy condition)? To get the best setup

Do you find the 900ml pot hard to handle when it is full? I've seen some reviews discuss that issue.

Great explanation on purpose-built gear vs Instagram-gear

Hi Chris, I have been wearing Altras as my daily wear for a number of years and for a few long distance hikes. Normally, I would buy any of the their shoes in my normal 9.5 size, but for these boots, would you suggest treating them like a proper hiking boot and going up a size?

All the splitters have a metal collar as well.

I have a 600 single wall mug that I've had for 15 years. What I like to do, is to place it near the store/fire as I cook. It keeps my coffee/tea very warm for the entire cook. As you said, a double wall is not made for this inventive idea. I have a friend that saw me do this little best practice and converted to a single wall Snow Peak the very next day. If you're cooking, use your flame twice. Skillet

is this the 2 person or 1 person tent?

I have the ranger 3 nubuck can i use g wax wikk it ruin them?

I personally, never have any of my wet weather jackets on when around an open fire . Every time I have the smoke from the fire has masked the water repelling properties and the jackets wet out and leak. When this occurs the only way to rectify this is by reapplying the coating ( Nilfix )

What is the separate weight of the cup, pot and lid?

👍🏾

The only thing with duct tape on poles is they potentially get wet/dirty/spoiled after bad weather or generally being out there, and you'd have to replace them every so often. For me, I wrap duct tape around the shaft of my backup bic lighter. It's always dry, I always carry it, etc.

Fantastic tips my friend, another great episode!

Good tips, my tip is don’t cook at night in the dark. 😊

Great tips, thanks! That first campsite is gorgeous. Did you say it was Lankeys Creek?

Nicely put. How would Vidda Pro Vented compare to Keb, in weight, durability, and general warmth? Thanks!
