A friend just got the Nitecore 10k Power Bank. You mentioned it. It's like the universe is telling me something about my clunky existing battery pack.
Nice gear, gotta check some of it out! Good luck on trail man, I know what you mean about getting lost in your own thoughts sometimes!
I am useing the Fenix 6 Pro as my Main Navigationtool for Hiking and Outdoortrips like you. Nice Equipment you use. 👍🏻. Greets from Germany
Great selection of electronics. For me, I don't have the mini, I have the larger Garmin, more battery life and mapping capability as backup. I also bring a separate action cam (Osmo action for me). But pretty similar.
Oh and I totally agree. My Fenix 6X is really great for navigating and I like the trail elevation profile and climb distance capability - gives me something to look at on LONG steep uphills. It also comes in handy when you reach a 4 or 5 "fork" in the trail to pick the right one even if you don't have a route that you are following.
From my experience on the GDT the NB10000 is way more reliable than the NB20000. But I need both for 30k mAh. Even with that I’ve almost run out a couple times. Section G will be tight on the power front. Might have to bring another one!
Love that wall charger though! Wish I had found that!
Just want to wish you all of the best as you set out tomorrow! Stay safe out there, have fun and enjoy the views.
I've been using an Anker 28600 on backpacking trips for the last five or more years but I'm trying to get my base weight down just a little bit more and that Anker is one of my heaviest items now. It's a great power bank. Just heavy. I discovered the Nitecore NB20000 and NB10000 and spent a good amount of time on the website trying to decide whether to buy two NB10000s or one NB20000. I was trying to justify the price difference just to lose a few ounces, but after seeing the two 10k's side-by-side I think I have my answer. Thanks for the video. And thanks to commenters who added even more helpful info regarding getting two Nitecore 10k's vs the 20k. Very helpful.
I know I’m a bit late to your post but also remember if something causes one of the battery packs to fail, you’ll have a backup with 2 10000’s vs. being SoL with just one 20000.

Exactly
Loved the video,helped me out but where did you get your phone mic,thanks for info
The modern electronics are nice and can help a lot if you want to rely on them. I'm old fashion. In over 60 years of camping I believe in a good ( up to date ) map and a compass to guide me. They have never failed me. Then I started taking a personal locator beacon with me on canoe trips , never had to turn it on. Just over two years ago the wife made me start taking a cell phone. It has a GPS , SOS and map capability to it. I use it when on the road and at the trailhead or canoe launching area , then it's off. It's back on when I'm back at the vehicle or boat ramp. I enjoy the piece and quiet of the woods and water , something I can't have at home. Apparently silence is becoming an endangered item just about everywhere.
I think it is important to do whatever results in you enjoying the life and the outdoors the most and it sounds like you've found that, which is awesome! I don't really see there being much of a difference between a map on paper and a map on a phone screen though. You could make the argument that you shouldn't rely on electronics for navigation, but I've been about 50-50 in my 25 years in the backcountry of using maps and compass and using electronics and I've had a lot more maps blow away, get wet and unreadable (even in map cases), or get accidently burned as fire starter than I have electronics fail. If only they made little sextants that I could use after learning how to navigate via the stars!
Your comment is a bit detached. The GDT is a 700 mile hike that is very remote and, I believe, averages about a week between resupply stops. This isnt a canoe trip or a weekend in the mountains. He's going to have no internet or cell coverage for the vast majority of the trip so it will still be very remote. The only real purpose a cellphone serves is for offline navigation and a keyboard for the PLB so its primary function (calling people/internet) pretty much doesnt exist. Optionally someone can pre-download books or some music but even then you have to be careful or you'll run the battery flat in a day or two. If you think music or a book is taboo entertainment when you're out on the trail for weeks then you might have a stick in your rear.
Good to know the info that 2 Nitecore 10s are lighter than 1 20000mah. I'm heading out for a 2 week trip and I don't think there's anywhere to recharge during that time.
684 miles of lots of upping n downing 😮😊 !!!!! and some of the BEST VIEWS !!! EVER !!!!😊. SOME KILLER WATER FALLS. NOT CUZ LONG OR TALL BUT JUST COOL !!!!! GUNA B FUN
Forgot the biggest perk of having two 10k mAh banks instead of one big, you cut the charge-up time in half compared to having a single 20k bank.
Good list. I think I'd invest in some lighter cables tho. Those things are beefy!
Do you ever edit any of your videos on your phone still? If so what program do you use?
Thanks, I wish the Garmin InReach was a more affordable option for weekenders or casual hikers. It has become more essential as it seems more people (many without experience) are hitting the backcountry these days. A simple "I'm running a little late" message could save SAR crews from mobilizing assets for what turns out to be no reason. Been on a few of these recently and although I don't mind the hikes, it takes teams away from potential real SOS situations or at least puts a crew out of action to rest following a callout. Thanks! Dave J
I just got a Zoleo. It's almost half the price of the Garmin and the monthly sub is less too. Well worth it for my family's sanity while I'm out on the trail.
@@musingwithreba9667 Cool! Thanks!
To me, the unit cost is 100% worth it for decades of safety.
Very cold! Haha
Hi Justin what is the top you have on from outdoor research
Keep up the amazing videos
Astroman!
What kind of camera was used for filming this video?
I couldn't use earbuds while walking in the wild, freaks me out not hearing what/who's around/near me.
Can anyone point me towards a small water resistance ditty bag? I somehow can’t seem to find one.
what is the microphone you use? I like that it plugs directly into the phone and has a wind muff!
Sarsomonic!
Link to those usbC short cables plz!
Doing the pct next year and been looking like crazy for cables like that?
And, are that one compatible with "fast charging"
As usual, everything is linked in the video description ;) (may not be available in every country though)
How much does that Spiegen power supply weigh Justin? Two Anker Nanos would be 60g. Not sure but that might be 40g lighter and more flexible w/ full 2x20w USB-C capability. Thanks Justin!
@josh what's the charging capacity of the Anker? Not sure it would be a rapid as the Spiegen, so a time saving vs. weight. Especially if your charging light, in reach, watch, phone, headphones etc.
Really looking forward to following your adventure, Good luck and be safe!
@@pggonzo Hey Paul each Anker is 20W and if I remember correctly the Spiegen was 30w total if both ports are being used. The Nitecore charger has an 18W charge capacity so a single Nano can charge it at full speed. I love those Nanos. They have a new line that has a 30w model but it is a bit larger and better for larger electronic tablets and computers. I love 30g for a tiny 20w power supply!
Hi Justin do enjoy your videos, just got back from a 4 days 3 night hike. i had to take the Anker 20000 at 341g. The Nitecore 2000 is 324.5g, but the Nitcore 10000 is 260g buying two of these is over the 20000, one am i missing something, Justin could be me? else i would buy them thanks Dave from Lab City.
The NB10000 is only 150g
@@JustinOutdoors Thanks Justin i got that wrong know trying to find one to buy 2 on line well it is hard lol i will keep looking thanks Justin
Did you have to charge the watch at all, or was the solar recharging sufficient?
You do have to charge it
@@JustinOutdoors how did you charge it on your GDT hike?
Can you plz tell me what cell compan6 has the best signal
The Telus/Bell (Virgin/Koodo) network for the GDT
What watch face you got there in your fenix 6
Weatherbug
Did you check your available output for each of the battery banks? The 2 combined might be lighter but you may possibly get less juice than the one bigger one. And I don't mean just what is stated on the box but the actual available mahs you can expect to get?
I did check output! The NB10000 is rated at 6400mAh of energy (I actually got slightly higher on both) while the NB20000 is 13,500 (I got right around there). So I lose about 700mAh with the two 10ks but 25g and have redundancy. The big thing is the redundancy for me. GREAT question!
@@JustinOutdoors I thought you might've known that! You're a spec nerd like me! Lol, great video!
the powerbank already has a usbc output
Really hope GPS watches come down in price. No way I can ever afford to drop ~$1k on one.
Garmin Fenix 6 pros and sapphires are a lot cheaper now. Got my sapphire for $300
1st comment.
The link for the nitecore power bank goes to a bizarre Chinese website
WTH happened to your hands at 4:33 ??😂
Really bad sunburn :S. That's why stephipoo makes me wear sun gloves now.
@@JustinOutdoors 🤣🤣👍🏿
Are solar charging batteries just a gimmick?
They work but you have to leave them open on your pack all day as you're moving. For the most part you're better off with a larger bank and recharging that when you encounter an outlet.
@@natea1042 thank you for your insight. Solar charging seems logical, but I haven’t seen any strongly positive reviews to solar power banks. And the experienced people all recommend standard power banks.
@TheGoat too bad there isn't 18-30 hours of sunlight. I imagine, it's hard to position solar panels while hiking. Could be better performance at a camp site
