Some good advice on there, Kevin. I've found that replacement garden hose o-rings found in the hardware store fit the Sawyer filters really well and are super easy to find.
I went and weighed my 20+ year old Leki Super Makalu trekking poles and with snow baskets they weigh 11oz per pole. These have thousands of miles on them from muddy trails to high alpine and they’re still going. I wouldn’t trust anything “ultralight” that you’re going to shock load like a trekking pole. The weight savings just isn’t worth it.
My GG poles did the same thing in NM, first trip out with them. I purchased a new section, but I'm too nervous to use them anymore. My older GG poles lasted 4 years.
I think a company who supplies a product so delicate it’s not fit for purpose should be held accountable for their product. No warranty no sale! 😂 great video lads. Ps you owe your wee girl Atleast two packs of M&M’s 😂
Thin stakes all will bend or break (if they are plastic). Titantium is as strong as steel, but almost half the weight. Those stakes were made for the "ultra light backpacker" that is concerned more with their base weight, not that they work better. Even a very thin steel stake will bend. I live where the ground is mostly rocks. Even landscape posts bend when I drive them into the ground.
Helinox has a 5 year warranty, they are a great product. It sucks when you're out there. My chair broke while waiting for others to finish packing, luckily before the hike out.
I have to re-comment….in regards to your chair breaking. That was one of the first videos with you in a tent….so I wrote; “ the great hammock god said, if you want to go to ground, then go there…..and sit there to…. He broke your chair. 😉
I bet that if you posted review of the GG poles on their site, the review wouldn't appear. How do I know? Happened to me. It's straight 5 star rated poles on their site, and so is for all of their other products. Not cool
I rolled out of my Banyon on its first night and landed my face on a rock. Black eye for a month. Awkward for a month. Had to buy makeup to look like I’m not part of Fight Club.
All of that and she only got 1 M&M!
We gotta sort out these child labor laws once and for all!! For just cuteness factor alone she deserved a pack of cadburys mini eggs!!
I totally remember that! The smoky mountains almost lived up to their name!
Like the fabricated story that your wet sleeping bag completely dried overnight in the hotel.

Big Agnes super light chair has all metal connections and hasn’t failed me yet.
Your daughter is precious.
Good job Kevin. Also don’t get caught speeding on your way to Lake Erie camping
Great job, M.

On the very first trip, I got ember holes in my brand-new hammock!! Have you guys talked to Bryce in a while? I hope he's doing ok!
Ember burns are the beauty marks of the hiking world

Twats wouldn’t cover mine. Still bought another one though. Looking into something different now.
