Thank you! I think it's so important to clean your gear and have a look over it before the next trip. A little time and effort makes it last longer

I did a section of the the JMT this summer and brought the BV500 with me. I appreciate your comment on keeping the food in the bags. I think this gives a good baseline and then you can pack from there. If you're doing the PCT you will learn how to use every nook and cranny of the BV! I got 7 days of food in there once and it was packed full.

Thank you for sharing this me! I'm not a professional RUclipsr and love hearing when my comments help others. I was looking at getting a new door and it was around $400! Way better fix for $10

Did it come out the other side?

When I first read about it I was so surprised and didn’t think they would really do it but they do. My other pairs have lasted about 3 years and still going strong

Thank you! It always makes me happy when people like my videos and they are helpful

That’s a great hack! I ended up cutting an old shirt and making a small piece of cloth to place on the bottom. I’m going to try this too

Love this comment so much! I used this over the summer and am so happy I went with it. The GreenPeak stove was great to have the piezo on it. Glad you were able to get one and hope you like it as much as I do.

Hi Samone! I think I would try it since you have it on hand. I wish Samsung made it so you can replace the handle but you have to replace the entire door for close to $400!

I used Gorilla glue and it didn’t hold. Might be user error, but I don’t think so…

@@staceyduncan-jackson7917 Hi Stacey, I didn't use gorilla glue for mine. Maybe you can try again? Did you clean the surface of the area first to remove any dirt build up? That might help...

Hey Steve! So glad this fix worked for you. I had the same thing. I was shocked that it was going to be almost $400 to fix it. Seems like such a miss on Samsung's part

The Bear Boxes are for that whole area. I would use the word "site" loosely in this area. There are a handful of bear boxes that you can use at some of the different sites. What time of year are going to be there? I've been in most of the summer months and have always found a great spot. There is a lots of room at LYV. I think you'll be fine. You do need a wilderness permit to stay there. Hope that helps. Happy to answer any other questions

Maybe fourbying would have been a better word.

Hey Christian, you were ahead of the game! It's amazing to see how packs are constantly changing, evolving , and getting lighter. I had the Flash 65L and really liked it but I think it was twice the weight of this pack.

Hey Nathan, so glad you found me! I've thought about you guys and saw your picture on top of Mt. Whitney. When I got home I was telling my wife how much I enjoyed our dinner that night. Would love to connect more either on her on send you a DM on Instagram to hear more about your trip!

Hey Warren! That sandwich was so good. I think that food tends to taste better in the backcountry. I still have a my Green Coleman but haven't used it all summer since I got the FireMaple set up. Ya, that wasn't me cutting the bell peppers. That way. he was brave.

Hi Carina, I’m sorry to hear that. Can I get you a different link here or did you already purchase them?

Thanks Matthew! This place really is amazing. It's beautiful and peaceful

I can see the thought process on this. I don't have the Fire Maple system that is like a Jetboil. This set up is 1/3 of the price of my JetBoil Flash.

Hey Joel! Really glad you liked it. This is such a great knife!

Hi Alyson! Comments like this make me so happy. you can easily replace this on your own! If you need any encouragement I'm here for you 😁

Hey Scott! I can easy say they are the best socks I’ve ever worn

❤❤❤ Thank you! She’s such a great dog

Thank you!!!!

That might be one of the best comparisons I've heard; three for the price of one! The combo you and I both got is my new favorite. I didn't bring my Jetboil out at all this year! Keep the code in mind; it works for any order from Fire Maple you might want to make in the future! Thanks for watching

@@NealBenson Awesome! That’s great to know…thanks for the discount code, I appreciate it!!

@@HighlanderMikeGolf You're welcome Mike! I thought it was super generous of Fire Maple to share it!

I looked up ideas on how to do that but couldn’t find any. All I found was that you can buy a new freezer door and replace it. Seems like a horrible decision on Samsung

@@NealBenson ya what a bad design . The price of door is approximately $400 Canadian . I be using your idea 😉

@@MohammedAli-bk7khit was $350 USD! It’s wild

I do! I think this would be a great use for it! I'm super impressed at how dry it kept me.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm really glad I did some filming so I can look back on this

Thank you for introducing me to it! Sold my Jetboil stash after buying this

Thanks man! It was so tough to decide to walk away but totally the right decision

You're welcome! Super glad it's helpful! The jacket is one sale today on the OV website- alnk.to/5FbgVcN

Thank you! This was such a fun day on the trail

Such a great reminder! The journey was epic

I think the Flash Air preformed excellent! I had no issues with the pack on trail. I did have it filled to the max. I think REI recommends the pack for loads of 25 pounds or less. I had this pack around 32 pounds my entire trip and had no issues. I was even able to fit my BV500 in the pack. Hope that helps. Happy to answer any questions on the pack. I’m Impressed

I'm in the final stages of making a decision to buy this bag. I've considered many things from several of your other videos. The price here also makes sense because there's a significant discount. The final consideration is the durability of the material. I live in Indonesia where the mountains are covered with dense vegetation. I'm worried that this material might be at risk of tearing when it comes into contact with branches. Please help me with your perspective on this.

@@hi.kingharry I really like this pack. I think the padding on the back is better than other packs in this weight class and price point. The material was great. I was in the forest and hit a couple trees with no punctures or issues at all. Also, REI has a great policy. For example if you buy this pack and then get a hole in it on your backpacking trip you can return it to REI within a year. If you're not completely sold on this pack, check out the Shadowlight from Outdoor Vitals. I have that pack too and it's been my favorite pack for a couple years. alnk.to/5Fbf1Ex Shadowlight is also $100 less!

I really liked this format of talking while hiking best! I’m so glad I filmed this trip and had all these thoughts to look back on. It makes me want to get out there again

Thank you Kevin! I'm always glad when my videos are helpful.

I'm super impressed at how durable it is! I took it on 130 miles of the JMT this summer and it was really the ideal pack for the job. You can hear some of my thoughts here-- ruclips.net/video/lF6EsKxeNuQ/видео.htmlsi=JfX7EZb1GMyCT0jF

Such a good move! I did the top half of the JMT this summer and was able to repackage some food to save space

Great question! I haven't used it to simmer but have used it with a low flame. I would think that it is able to do that

Thanks Marcos! Hope you enjoyed it

@@ma1bear1 Thank you so much! So good to hear from you. I might be the crazy one who likes to hike 17-20 miles a day and sleep in the woods!

So glad this is helpful! It’s been almost a year since making this video and mine is still running strong!

That's how I found your video too! Really enjoyed your JMT in 2 min video. I need to edit day 7 tonight. Every time I look at the footage it makes me want to go back

@@NealBenson Thanks! I totally get it-editing brings all that trail nostalgia back. Can’t wait to see Day 7!

You’re welcome. Samsung appliances are super annoying. There should be a better way to fix this than replacing the entire door

Thank you for subscribing! God Bless you too! It was so fun making these daily videos while on the trail

I think the BV500 is the way to go!

@@NealBenson well that’s definitely big! I’m going to try the 450 for a two night hike , I’m sure it will be plenty of room. Of course lots of factors to choose which one is best…how long the trip, how much you eat, what you’re eating, etc. Was thinking about going for the Bearikade but just can’t justify the price.

@@gcruishank9663 The 450 is perfect for a 2 day hike. I've used the 500 on a 7 day hike but it is packed!

@@gcruishank9663 I can't justify the price of the Bearikade either

Thank you! I really hope my videos are encouraging and helpful

JMT Expenses Permit- $15 Yosemite entry fee- $35 Gas- $90 Food (on the drive up)- $55 (for me and my driver) Yosemite Backpackers camp- $8 Dinner at Red’s Meadow- $35 Red’s Meadow Campground fee- $8 Total at VVR- $140 I don’t think VVR charged me for all my items Here are some costs I recall from VVR: Ferry- $40 Internet use- $25 Dinner- $25 Shower- $8 Laundry- $10 Breakfast- $25 Dinner- $25 Resupply box pick up- $40 I don’t have a good amount that I spent on all the food I packed.

Thank you!!! It was amazing
