Long Term Gear Review - MEINDL Ontario GTX
With so little beeswax why not just use all paraffin for water proofing ?
With weight low enough and maybe smaller wheel, do you think this could work for running? For long distance multi day, self supported stuff.
Why is it not the split where the word "locked" is? And why aren't you making videos now?
The kid is soundless. Cute!
That’s not a steel brush. It’s a brass bristle brush. If you used a steel brush it would rip your pack to smithereens.
🤘
I'm back for a refresher lesson. Packing a 65L pack, for a first time trip. This video is so helpful
We thought bikes, breathing , going out side and freedom was illegal in Australia and England... Jack.. Colorado
Your videos are great. I see you have stopped making videos. Please keep posting new videos. We really appreciate your efforts. 😊
Keep it up brother. Love from India
Just came across your channel.
That was incredibly helpful
how do you go thru rough rocky , scrubby tree logs on track ups and downs with this trailer ?? very interesting
Thanks for the videos, buddy. Specially the land navigation course. You little princess makes them even more delightful. Take care in those rocky places. God bless your beautiful family.
I bought on it's great, only downside there is no ignite to light it, you have to have a lighter
Thank you for this! I have 3 backpacks that were my dad’s back in the late 80’s when he was on a hotshot forest fire fighting crew before he passed away, and they have all developed this exact same issue. I’m hoping to restore them to their former glory, and take them back out on the trails that he loved so much.
Great little stove. Really well built for the price. Very quick boil time. For anything other than ultralight backpacking this is more than adequate.
If you have access to one, a heat gun works alot faster than an iron.
I plan on doing it with my old bike, but would keep the break line on the backside to keep the whole weight push me down hill, i am on my 3rd month post achilles surgery and this summer should be fine as long as i dont have the whole weight carried
yeah i thought about using a brake but it really doesnt need it
@@annewilson3007 where we go backpacking to a beautiful lake on top of a mountain we had to go obviously up but there was down hills that are pretty steep for wheels so i wouod need them for myself 😅. I saw another video of this and he does have a break on his which gave me a brighter ide
Awesome tips, that is how you maximize the space in your pack!
Hi Nat, a bit late to the party, but is the subtext here that the pack is uncomfortable with heavier weight in it? Around let’s say 22-25kg?
Stop talking up at the end of your sentences. ANNOYING AF!
Thanks mate good stuff here surprised you don't have more views
I appreciate that! Thanks for the support. Like subscribe and share!!! Haha
Hmm yes, that Axiom harness adjustment system does seem to be a weak point. The old TFX system on my 2010 (ish) era Cerro Torre is fairly straightforward and rugged.
Yeah odd way to design something
@@Outdoorswithnat Like so many manufacturers, they come up with these "improvements" but unfortunately I think a lot of it can be more gimmicky than actually functional. Planned obsolescence maybe 🤔
Do you believe the stated volume is fairly accurate? I purchased the Osprey Aether pro 70L and had one look inside it and realised there's no way I'd fit all my winter gear in there. I'm coming from an old Lowe Alpine Cerro Torre 65:85 which is huge inside, bit on the heavy side though @ 2.8kg.
Great question: In this case yes I think it is. Some brands (osprey) seem to calculate the volume by tallying up every pocket internal and external, waist etc.. but you can’t figure this out until you see it in person. Occasionally I have seen it as 60+5 or 70+10 indicating internal then extra pockets.
@@Outdoorswithnat Ah, right. That would explain things. Thanks for the reply 👍
I appreciate your time and effort on this video. I like the simplicity of your design.
Thank you very much!

Very dangerous for a baby...
Thanks for your opinion…
That was awesome! One question for everyone. I have a late 90s North Face Terra 35 Litre. the fabric protecting the zip is wearing away and I am loathed to throw it away. It needs some fabric sewed around it. Has anyone done this before? My local taylor says it can't be done. I'm going to keep the bag until I can find someone who can repair it! I'm located in London, UK
Not sure. There are usually a few small outdoor gear specialists repairs people about. We have a couple in Australia not sure about UK.
Great video. I have a backpack with the flaky material and it's got this sticky residue inside. After scraping and heating, it still feels sticky. What is the next step? Do I wash the backpack in soapy water, sprinkle baby powder, or spray rubbing alcohol? Thanks
Hi @kat-zl1rc I’m not entirely sure but I think you are on the right track and I have had the same problem with different lining products. If you can live with the residue being sticky as it’s not flaking off. Otherwise Start with a wash, then if it’s still sticky try baby powder or just some dusty soil/dirt, leave in a sunny dry and well ventilated spot for a couple of weeks and it might get less sticky. Finally some products like silicone seams have a sticky feeling but nothing actually attaches to the surface which I think is due to the microscopic texture of the surface and the final hardness of the cured product causing more friction.
@@Outdoorswithnat Thanks! I did some of these steps backwards. I dusted the backpack interior with lots of baking soda, scrubbed the inside especially the corners, and then vacuumed out as much of the baking soda I could. I used hot water and dawn dish detergent to wash the bag and air dried in the hot sun. No sticky residue! I am so happy! Thanks again for your wonderful video and reply
A review of a sleeping matt that you didn't sleep on...come on, you're better than that
Thanks for the feedback. I thought the video title was pretty clear as to the content. I’ll try and give a 1 year update soon.
Hi, has this matt stood the test of time? Im off for a massive 10 day hike and need to pack light. My only concern with this is that it might pop and then id be sleeping on the ground!
Hi @tashbrooks it has done well so far… but I have also looked after it. I only use it with a tent, bivy bag, or ground sheet. I think it is quite resistant to abrasion and not very resistant to puncture or sharp objects. I.e if you are going to put a hole in your tent from the ground up then you will also put a hole in the mat if that is not a concern then it will be fine. It is quite cold to sleep on and I often use a chest to hip section of closed cell foam to make it warmer (also used as a sit pad).
Nice idea, using the frame as the base. Thanks
Thanks for the support
Nice one. I used to do the trail from there at Hall to the Mulligan Flat area. A great walk.
A great walk it is glad you enjoyed. Thanks
Nice video. This is exactly what I was looking for. I have the same issue with a couple of old backpacks, they are all still very usable, but all my stuff is covered in white flakes. Doesn't the steel brush damage the fabric? I got a feeling a brush with stiff plastic hairs might be safer for the fabric. What are your ideas on it?
Thanks. Bush would depend on the fabric. For the pack I had it was fine. You can also use a clothes iron on low heat instead of a hair dryer.
You could take this concept to another level and see how much weight a human can actually push or pull using only human power.
Kid and equipment is enough for me :)
Genius!
Thanks
Hey mate, this is brilliant, NSW teacher delivering outdoor education to stage 5 students here, will use some of this in class, thanks for creating these 👍
Thanks. I’m an OEd teacher in the ACT and made them for my students. They get better from number 3 onwards for in class work.
Genius!
Thanks for the support :)
I didn't know you could "melt" the flaking layer back into the fabric. Is that for all waterproof linings? I have an old Gregory backpack that has a bit of the same issue. Thanks for your cool tutorial on restoring a nice bag!
Thanks for the support. The ‘waterproof’ liner is typically made of polyurethane. It is essentially plastic but spread very thin so it uses the fabric to hold it in a single continuous layer making the bag waterproof. By melting it back in you are stopping the flaking but also making it not waterproof, but if it was flaking it was not waterproof anymore anyway. So then you are not getting flakes of plastic everywhere.
I can live out of this backpack am a minimalist
Thanks for the support.
I've had mine for over ten years, having used it on cycling tours throughout the UK, Europe and Australia. It is an excellent tent overall though a bit on the heavy side (the older model is, anyway). The thing you do have to be careful of is to ensure all of the pole segments are thoroughly connected in their sleeves while threading the poles through. I had a pole sleeve sheer through in Orkney and had to remove it, impacting the height of the front of the tent. I had trouble getting a replacement part that would fit properly (apparently they're not all exactly the same) so purchased a whole new pole, which is going well. Just something to be aware of.
Yeah they are great tents.
Great videos, really enjoy watching them and getting ideas where to walk with my kids. thanks!
Thanks for the support.
That nice thought but whee u getting beeswax , I got mine from my bee hives, bees wax is A SOLID and melts at a HIGHER TEMPATURE THAN PARIFIN
Thanks for the comment. Yes bees wax has a higher melting point than bees wax, but the molecular structure of bees wax allows it to bend and absorb shear forces. In this way it feels like it can be partially melted at a lower temperature even though it is technically a solid. The diagram linked shows the shear forces with different compositions of beeswax and paraffin wax. www.researchgate.net/figure/Composition-linked-to-mechanical-properties-of-beeswax-associated-with-orange-box-and_fig5_349597980
Great review Mate Bought one last week Have not tested yet
Thanks. They are easy to use and reliable and cost effective.
excellent explanations, great little helper too 🙂 Thanks for sharing, I rarely use a tent, but will probably get something for hiking, this was quite handy to know.
Thanks for the support. It’s just a general overview to get people started.
nice one, always a great hike around there 🙂
Yep lots of lesser walked areas to explore too.
fianlly. a bag tutorial for proper bag etiquette
Thanks for the support!
Ok im probably just bad at rolling mats but it took me flipping ages to get this mat back into its bag. Was considering cutting the bag a lil bit but got there in the end. So glad I did a dry run with it.
Haha, they are always a bit difficult. I must say this one is not to bad… start with some small (2 fingers wide) folds until it starts to get round and then roll from there. When putting it in the bag get your roll down to the bottom first then pull the sides of the bag up second. Hope that helps.
@@Outdoorswithnat that really helps. Thanks a lot.
Great offsides! But seriously, a good review. Thankyou.
Thanks for the support
