Hi! Where did you get the deck pads?

Thanks! Great introduction to Lake Superior sunfish sailing!!!

This is absolute genius. Just entangled my volleyball lines. Thanks Adventures in Reach :)

This helped me a lot thank you!

Sorry to say mate that when the user turns on their side, the infrared camera is showing the heat that was captured by the SB and mat, and not the temperature of the person inside the SB. I would never use a quilt in really cold situations.

Anyone who says quilts retain heat better than sleeping bags has very little experiance.

wool blankets over wool clothing an top canvas tarp underneath a deer hide and a nice fire ... would never buy this plastic ...I love nature so i do not use plastic I use thinks from Nature

A bit late but thank you for the video, I really enjoyed it.

I've slept in a raft while fishing. It's pretty stable. I guess a canoe with outrigger s or side floats would work well. It's an adventure In itself just doing it 👍👍👍

i have two set ups one has a bag. the others has a wool blanket. both have sleeping pads. and some-kind of “tent”. i am not the type or age to push the weather. i like my 5er. but i try to be comfortable if i must sleep on the ground i am a warm body so i can over heat while asleep. but when i wake up my joints tell me i should be in a warm house. at 65. roughen it is not the same as when i was 15.

What do you do when you get to that spot?? Do you just turn and point the arrow back? Or do you put white in the shed? Imagine that it’s dark out…

The auto lock is not good for a beginner because they will become complacent in the use of screw lock beeners. Not advice I would give ..I say use screw locks that way you stay aware.

Important difference is that quilt requires more (bigger R value)from the sleeping pad and your warmth depends on it. On really cold winter camping it is a risk I wouldn’t take.

Use two straps, both wrapped around the pad. Then, move the clips in away from the edge of the pad (2 to 3 inchesin, from the edges of the pad). That prevents the "quilt killer" issue, and it ensures that the quilt stays wrapped around you better. I’ve found that limits cold drafts the best.

I suggest watching 'hownot2' video on their testing of the friction knots. The prusik is far superior under load.

After a while both lose loft, depending what materials they no longer insulate once wet. Lastly most synthetics melt when exposed to fire. You know what fixes all that? Something we have been using hundreds of years! Wool! For a bit extra weight you get a rugged alternative and as for "It's itchy" never once has my Merino Wool blanket been itchy. Still cold grab two! Roll yourself in them till you're as snug as a bug in a rug!

As a certified outdoor mountain guide and wilderness, paramedic quilts are dangerous. The problem with them is that and windy or cold weather people rely on them, and they are not nearly as warm, not even close the lower the temperature is the worse that differential becomes. they’re also not roomier or more fun. You just open a sleeping bag you have a quilt Are they lighter? No, they’re not you’re getting less. It’s not that they’re lighter you get less so it’s lighter but not by much very high-quality down is extremely extremely lightweight very misleading video you should redo this honestly redo it. Good intentions, but the road to hell is paved with those

Our military ones are good to -20 has a goetex liner to keep the wind and rain out and have been on the ground in -14 and tostie not uncomfortable at all, now go fishing and sleep in a bivvy with a 5 season sleep system and that's as comfortable as being in bed at home

Have you tried the zenbivy core sheet with the sleeping quilt?

I'm going to reassert that if you roll over immediately after the mummy bag is compressed (because you were resting on your back) is NOT the time to prove thermal imaging anything. I'm assuming you have no dog in the hunt and are not trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes here, but it's still a clumsy failure to address. If you have been resting in a mummy bag on your back and then roll over, keep in mind that material underneath your back has been compressed, and the material now also has your residual body heat there that is not necessarily indicating additional active heat loss. It's like having a cast iron skillet on a stove, letting it heat up nice and hot, and then turning the stove off. That iron is going to retain some heat, and so is the material in the sleeping bag. Obviously we're talking about different heat retention properties and conductivity, but the principle remains the same. But if you were to provide thermal imaging of that skillet, and still see red, you would not presume that the stove is still on. As an additional example, in the Ukraine war there is video of thermal imaging drones that can identify a Russian soldier urinating against a tree, and that urine spot is detectable for up to a half hour afterwards. But that doesn't mean the Russian shoulder is urinating for a half hour. That heat loss represented by the urine deposit is gone and done as far as the Russian soldier is concerned once he does his final shake-off. A mummy bag's back also needs a couple moments to loft up after being compressed because your entire body weight was resting on top of it. Let's see the imaging at minute one or two, or you're going to have some of that residual body heat that's still against the fabric that creates a misleading impression. One you totally ignored. And it takes only a little bit of extrapolating to realize that the moment that losfts up, and the residual body heat that has stained the material has dissipated, you're going to see very comfortable heat retention properties return. The other issue you have not addressed is that with the quilt you have the sad option to do a very sudden retained heat dump. Whereas you might lose some heat at the rate of a slowly deflating balloon with a mummy bag, you can lose almost all of the heat you have retained almost instantly if you raise the quilt too high by accident. Honestly, I don't understand why people are trying to make this argument got a quilt retains more heat than a sleeping bag. Logically a contained mummy bag made of the SAME material as a quilt is going to provide significantly less area for heat to escape, particularly over time, and obviously a quilt will allow you to accidentally lose all of your heat very suddenly in a way a sleeping bag cannot unless you immediately unzip it and open it up on purpose. A quilt's benefit is weight, and comfort, not heat retention. If you don't move much in your sleep, or if you roll over carefully, which is a learned skill with a quilt system, you can have almost as much heat retention as with a comparable mummy bag, enough so that the weight and smaller volume is worth it to you for most of your camping experiences. But let's not kid ourselves: there is a reason you're not very often going to see people climbing Mount Everest using a quilt system. Don't oversell it with misleading physics that fails to control the two most obvious variables: temporary loss of loft due to compression from your back, and residual heat loss on the material that does not necessarily indicate any additional continuing heat loss. Try again and see if you can prove me wrong, but at least then I will be proved wrong with scientific reality and not pseudo-science clumsiness.

The Enlightened Equipment quilt isn't the best at draft prevention; if this test was done with something like an Outdoor Vitals, or even more so a Katabatic, there would be far less red on the quilt. The Katabatic is nearly as warm as a bag, but its lighter, more versatile, and outright cooler :)

Before you know it the whole quilt fad is going to fade away just like the health rider and the Shamwow. A sleeping bag is far warmer and more versatile than a quilt . I can use a sleeping bag as a quilt by draping it over me . I don't get why anyone would want to sleep directly on a pad ? I personally don't like the feel of the materials used on the majority of air pads out there. Plus I don't really enjoy sleeping in all my clothes simply because the quilt isn't capable of sealing itself around my body. I'll stick with a sleeping bag.

This is a flawed representation ... This creator should man up and admit to the disingenuous thumbnail that is further explained, although with flawed context.

After running the pen and taking the top off, you said that you had non-chemical water the pen doesn’t take chemicals out of the water. It kills bugs in the water. Like little bugs that would make you sick from adjusting the water. Not chemical filter.

How about barrel knot ? I’m still having difficulty with mine 😢

What kind of sick psychopath sticks there feet out of a sleeping bag?

Loved that last one for rope retreival! Thanks 🤠🫶

I carry the orange marker tape. But personally, the last thing I’m going to do is use my daypack as a marker. if I’m disoriented, that daypack is staying on my back!

My dry bag have a plastic lip on it but I don't understand the description for my. 🤔 Maybe it's similar to this without this plastic lip on them.

As an ultra ultra light camper I prefer a bag over a quilt because they keep the farts in and that is warmth even if it's only for a few seconds!! you can load up before bedtime with beans and cabbage for a nice warm night, plus being a vegan the smell of my vegan farts get trapped in the bag, it's not the first time I've been beaten up sleeping in a bothy because of the awful stink if being vegan!! did I mention I'm more superior as a vegan ultra ultra light camper!!

Lookin great! I would definitely use stabilizers though 😅

Thanks! Helped me untie a figure 8 boat rope. Used water, dish soap, hammering & twisting

Awesome explanation. Got lost in my early 20’s and panicked, did all the wrong things. I was found wet, cold, and hungry and 35 years later I’m still worried going anywhere off trail.

Perfect vid.🎯 Thanks!

I wonder if when you see the heat pattern for the back side with the sleeping bag, if that's heat that was trapped for some time in the sleeping bag loft as a result of that loft being sandwiched between the emitter (your body) and the insulator (the ground pad. No other sides of your body in the test had this benefit.

There's cool sailing trips, and then there's "Bring a couple of ice axes" - cool sailing trips! Nice one!

This is gold. I think you are spot on. 3 seasons consider a quilt. Winter use in cold weather, sleeping bag. That helped me more than a bunch of other videos combined. Sometimes simple concepts aren't so simple. Thank you.

So it's not FLIR, it is thermal imaging. FLIR scans a scene and assembles an image. You are actually doing thermal imaging. No biggie but when it comes to tech words matter.

Learn and and keep learning to apply your knowledge and beware of being too confident. It can hurt you as much as being under confident. Confidence is not permanent - do not base your worth on it.

This only works with the rope like that. Not with not that is in fabric.

Excellent video! Was exactly the knot I needed for a similar situation under pressure

Technically you are getting an azimuth. Bearings go from 0-90° from north amd South. Where as azimuth goes 0-360 starting at north going clockwise

If it's cold , I want a sleeping bag , if it's cool out , I can unzip my sleeping bag if I want some cool air . I do have a light puffy quilt for summer . I've done lots of camping . I'm 60 and have camped in the artic . If it's cold , I am not fighting a quilt , the quilt does not retain heat .

Thank you very much! (soft) hammering took care of strap used to pull my stuck car out of trouble. Knot was rock-hard, but after small work with hammer i took it apart with no problems!

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

The rolling method did wonders! Thank you so much, I tough I'd never untie that rope! It was a rope tied for years that had between 120 to 220 kg on it from time to time.

Awesome video.

If you buy a quilt with all the extras from UGQ that keep it tight around you and roll inside it rather than rolling the quilt with you creating a draft you notice a REAL difference and no need for a full bag. Mine only goes down to -21f but I’ve never had an issue other than I had mine made to be dual purpose hammock/ground so it does briefly let in a draft at the knee on the ground but it holds so much heat paired with the Xtherm and their Synergy sheet you barely notice once you’ve settled after a roll.

Compass Navigating seems alot simpler when you learn how to do it.
