I have switched almost all my clothing to alpaca in the past few years. It rarely, if ever, needs washing. It is warmer per weight than Merino and does not become as hot while moving as wools like cashmere. I even made a one-off felted alpaca wool sleeping pad that has almost completely replaced my closed-cell pad. I am considering sewing some Dyneema under it to protect it from wet ground.
I own both….. the BTR is the only one I ever take because of how fast it is to set up and take down. The REI stool with its shock cord assembly and rolling/stuffing in a bag is a huge pain. The BTR can be set up for a trail side break, used, and when its time to go you just grab it as you hike out. You can collapse it while walking and stuff it in a water bottle pocket while on the move.
Dan, I really think a lot of your fans would like to see you go out for a short two day, one night hike using only what garage grown gear packs you… just to see if you really do hate certain items. Either way, I’m enjoying these videos.
Great idea. They will fill the pack with all the gear and he can only discover them on camera when he gets 10 miles in on an over night camping trip. Funny
I've owned a pair of Ruta Locura poles for several years. Found this guy when he was just getting started. I've put 100's of hard miles on these things and they are still going. Love'em!
An Alpaca Hoody is worth the cost, and it has little to do with the weight. It's that the item can be worn nearly year round. On the very hottest and humid of days, it can be too hot, but that is really it. It works well as a sun blocker 90% of Summer. Over 100 with 75+ humidity, is when it is too hot. Plus, it is shockingly warm in Winter and very cold conditions. It adds comfortable ranges to sleeping bags. Mine is literally on me, or in my vehicle 100% of the time, just in case temps change. It even provides decent warmth when wet, though I only know that from unexpected downpours, and I haven't kept it on for hours after that.
The Vaucluse ventilation thing is something I bought on a whim as a sweaty guy and have zero regrets. I swapped it between my trekking packs and my day packs and it acts a frame for the day packs making them more comfortable and hands down is cooler on my back. Even my wife who harassed the heck out of me when I got it loves it. She keeps stealing my day pack for her adventures so that she can use it.
@mettadata1504 that's a great point. You're right that it doesn't really keep your back dry but it definitely makes a huge difference on the pack, and heat while walking.
@@DanBecker the Vacoluse frame in a Mariposa style pack (or even the HMGs) is almost a requirement on the East Coast south of DC. Most of your hikes seem to be in colder/drier areas. Try the humidity of the Florida trail and see if it doesn’t change your mind.
I have the ventilation frame, it has uses other than ventilation. Sometimes when packing out game, especially at dusk, it isn't sitting right in the pack, bones can be poking you, the ventilation frame keeps it away from your back enough, you don't have that uncomfortable poking. Now, I haven't tried it with Elk Quarters or anything really heavy as in 100+ pounds, so it may collapse with too much weight.
Ive owned the 14" and 17" Hillsound stools for at least four years. They're 11 oz & 14 oz respectively and fit easily in the front pocket of a backpack. They come in handy for a quick seat next to a stream while changing out of shoes and drying off in the colder months.
I feel like people are just making a bunch of nonsense items to break into the ultralight space , just so they can price hike a 10 dollar item up to $100.
I use alpaca wool socks from “Pacas” for hiking. Super comfortable. I wore boots this summer because of an ankle problem - they were not hot at all. I hiked Blood Mountain in Georgia in August, zero foot sweat and zero smell. I was surprised. It still felt good to peel them off at the end of the day though!
I've used the BTR stool. Depending on what kind of trip I'm on, it can be really great. The quick and easy setup and packing make it handy. The price has increased in the last couple of years. I got mine for around $60, which I think is a great price point. I think they would sell more at that price. Ruta Locura also makes spreader bars for bridge hammocks. They weigh half the weight of the factory spreader bars that came with my hammock.
I loooooved this video. Thought it was so fun and entertaining. Loved that you didn't hold back your thoughts or reactions to products and prices. Very real. 16/10. Highly recommend
I have some of the first hiking poles that they made and I’ve used them in every condition and I have never broke a pole, everything from riverbeds to talus and scree. These poles are the best on the market and priced right. They take a beating and keep performing
The poles have my attention! Personally convinced that not all ounces are the same. Weight on hands and feet gets a multiplier relative to weight in the pack.
I really enjoy this series. Thanks for the great video! The stake bag also has room for guy lines and any other tie downs you need in the top. That is one of the reasons that I enjoy using it.
I splurged on the BTR stool some years ago - love the small size/weight and quick deploy/pack up. Worked well for a couple of years now it’s compromised - I think one of my sons tried to force it when opening or closing and not understanding the technique.
As a tradesman, I can really appreciate the stake bag. Reaching for tools all day in a non ergonomic pocket or bag is irritating and waisted time. Now add the rain or the cold with the urgency of setting up shelter. Also being able to contain small items together is just being organized. I have a pocket Sewn into my larger shelter bag for stakes.
I will say my Mayfly is really difficult for me to get in and especially to get out of. The stool looks easier to get up and down but I'm not sure if I would miss the back support as I actually us my chair mostly in the tent on extended rain days where I'm kind of trapped in the tent. However for day hikes where I stop to eat, I may prefer the stool...for $60. : ) Thanks Dan. Thanks Lloyd.
I’ve been wanting to try that back ventilator, especially in cold weather when sweat is extra uncomfortable. It would actually be neat to see something like that built into the inside of a coat or something you could just wear under it. I feel like that would be super nice to have for sweaty people like me.
I've been using the Hillsound BTR stool for about a year now. It is great if you only plan on sitting on it for an hour or so. Any more than that and it starts to be uncomfortable. Still better than sitting on the ground though.
Ive used the Vaucluse. Its okay for a smaller daypack for dayhiking but it causes some weight shifting issues when installed on a 30 lb 50L backpack for a multi-day hike. It does allow airflow against the back. In warm weather, thst can be welcome. In cold weather, its a mixed bag.
I have the Vauclause Ventilation Gear version 1 and it has helped me carry my backpacks better because of the airflow that helps lessen my back sweat. Two pieces got removed, though, so I am pondering if getting the mesh will help. One has to be mindful to readjust the backpack straps to accommodate the extra 1 inch thickness added to the back.
My biggest takeaway from this video is, just like overlanding manufacturers, backpacking gear makers have started to lose touch with reality when it comes to pricing. I really think th pandemic did a number on any business that's even slightly outdoors-adjacent, and too many thought their growth would continue on the same trajectory forever
Take an old fleece jacket and make stuffsack out of it. Stuff it with your jacket instant pillow. Also if you have cold feet sleeping, put the fleece stuffsack over them for a bit of xtra warmth. Ive done this for years while doing multiday ski tours.
The Fastus 23L Backpack is missing an entire segment of customers. Get ride of the white, if possible, as that would make an excellent stalking pack for hunting, and it is price competitive in that market, but it would need to blend in better in the environment.
If you like that stool you should try the Grand Trunk Compass 360 swivel stool. It is what I use when backpacking and it is amazing. They also have anUltra Compact version and an Extra Tall version if you want to sit a bit higher
I think it was a little unfair to get salty about the prices. Here's a question for the guy charging $100 for a backpacking course: The time, effort, and expertise put into bringing something to market has value, right?
I like my btr stool better than my helenox. much easier to do cook etc. and as an older hiker, easier to get the creaky knees to straiten out and stand
Bought a BTR number of years back and the seat immediately started coming loose. I called the company and they said they had no record of me purchasing the stool and that I would have to go to the online store that sold it to me. They were the online store that sold it to me. Bad customer service. It was clearly defective.
A few years ago from Amazon I got a camp stool that weighs 14 oz. for $30. Currently unavailable, sadly, and I don’t know if it will ever be back. But it’s definitely worth it to shop around-$90 for that stool is asinine.
The Rita locura walking staffs look similar to the ones sold by his father via TiGoat, but with improved (shaped) foam handles over th originals. One thing to think on though - the thinner poles like this flex a fair bit, at least my TiGoat ones do. I've swapped over to heavier BD folding carbon poles for added strength an durability as I use these as wading staffs when fishing
I think the stake stuff sack is useful in the way that it’s a small and long. The opening is bigger for those with bigger hands. I think the price for the chair is crazy though😂
I paid 60 Bucks for the BTR Stool when it First Came out. They need to fix the price. For that I will just buy the Helinox Chair Zero. Honestly I did buy Helinox Chair Zero Shortly After I got the BTR Stool. I Paid $119.95 for it.... The combo of the Helinox, and the BTR Stool is Great to put your feet up and relax. As well as have a chair/Stool for the little lady you bring. The short BTR is what I have, I would have gotten a Larger/Taller one if it was Available at the time. Prices need to be adjusted to a normal amount. I got both of these back in 2020. The mark up on this thing is Broken.
The "allmansright" name definitely comes from our law called "the all-mans right" (allemannsretten) here in Norway, which grants everybody the right to roam freely, also on other people's private properties, as long as it's not in their personal garden. You have the right to roam freely, and light a fire for coffee and pitch a tent for two nights at the same spot - e v e r y w h e r e !!! And that's the law, now considered to be entered into the constitution. It's really awesome and something we cherish a lot here in Norway. You should come here. We have the wildest nature imaginable, aurora borealis, the midnight sun, and just awesome wilderness life.
Allmansright is awesome! Liv and Jen are super responsive from the Boogie Down Bronx! I have a custom Liten pack and love it, along with their stake and food bags. Top notch all the way around, highly recommended!
@@richardwysocki8300 For made in the USA? It doesn't really make sense to compare them with mass-produced Chinese prices. If you are OK with the ethics of outsourcing all our manufacturing to adversarial countries with dirt cheap labor, then that's one thing, but I think it's worth asking if that's a good long-term strategy...our version of "fairly" has come to mean "with Chinese slave labor".
Love the multiple use of something I'll already have with me. Was considering making my own pillow holder, but thanks to your idea, I don't need to. 0 oz / 0 g / 0$
@@RobertGaron you take a shirt… usually it is my dry fit and from the bottom of the shirt i pull it over my air mattress. Once fully on i put the inflated pillow between the mattress and shirt and push it to the top. Keeps it in place.
Asking Dan the price of backpacking gear is like asking Bill Gates the price of groceries.
Wdym
Not really hun
?????
It's a banana, Michael. What could it cost? Ten dollars?
Maybe like asking Gates about the cost of a gaming PC?
Its refreshing to see an outdoor youtuber speaking up against insane prices. So many content creators would bite their tongue hoping not to burn any sponsor bridges.

would do the same. Viewer must think for itself and do math. If there is free income of high quality stuff i would go for it.
I have switched almost all my clothing to alpaca in the past few years. It rarely, if ever, needs washing. It is warmer per weight than Merino and does not become as hot while moving as wools like cashmere. I even made a one-off felted alpaca wool sleeping pad that has almost completely replaced my closed-cell pad. I am considering sewing some Dyneema under it to protect it from wet ground.
The stool is crazy. REI Flex Air Stool is only 11oz, is taller, and “only” $60
I own both….. the BTR is the only one I ever take because of how fast it is to set up and take down.
The REI stool with its shock cord assembly and rolling/stuffing in a bag is a huge pain.
The BTR can be set up for a trail side break, used, and when its time to go you just grab it as you hike out. You can collapse it while walking and stuff it in a water bottle pocket while on the move.
Thanks I had no idea about the rei stool!
Good looking out!
I have purchased many items from garage grown gear. No problems at all great company
Dan, I really think a lot of your fans would like to see you go out for a short two day, one night hike using only what garage grown gear packs you… just to see if you really do hate certain items. Either way, I’m enjoying these videos.

What about a separate vest system to attach to your backpack shoulder straps? That would be brilliant!
At bass pro shop they have one really similar for $10 had it for 3 years i use it ever hike comes in handy when you need a quick seat.
I have an old (sadly discontinued) Gossamer Gear LT4 pole which also comes in at 106g per pole just like the Ruta Locura.
