Oh Nomad makes great sleeping bags! I actually grew up using their bags. Their basic bag lasts a really long time, and they have been making sleeping bags for decades. Awesome to see them expand their market.
Using an exothermic reaction to heat food is far from junk. It's actually genius. Mixing a chemical with water to create sustained temperatures of 200+ degrees is genius level. If I'm ever out camping by myself for a day or 2, I don't need my stove or all the set up and cleaning required to use it.
@@Joe_And_Nina_Pierce it's not new technology. It's basic, well known chemistry. And I really don't see how this is going to reduce cleaning. All I clean up after eating while hiking is my spoon.
@@ageofgaslightenment immediately what I thought of when I saw that. I was like "this isn't knew. pretty sure this is how I heated my MRE's when I was in" lol
"LAVA GEL" lol dude shined up and added some fancy lingo to age old military technology for MRE's and people in the comments are calling him a genius. GOOD LORD HELP US!! 🤣🤣🤣
@@wilcoxtactical3716 Separating the salt allows for a much longer shelf life and more consistency. It also makes it more idiot proof as we saw with other products people struggle to measure the correct amount of water when using our products.
Not quite, no toxic residue or leftover water. The old technology was an uncontrolled chemical reaction, meaning all of the energy was released at the same time. Lava Gel tempers it so max temp is 205° F and it holds that for 10 minutes and then slowly falls off. The old tech would get to 300° F Plus and then die, so you use the residual heat from the water to heat food. Very inefficient compared to Lava gel.
Light weight multi functional items that combines items I'm already using is direction I hope more companies take. One handle for a spoon and tooth brush, that's thinking like a backpacker. More of that, but the toothbrush heads wouldn't make sense unless they sold replacements
The multi-use handle is neat, but the screwing stuff in part is a bit dicey. The point of a long handle is so that stuff on your fingers doesn't go in your mouth, but now you are using your fingers on the stuff that goes in your mouth to screw them on... I suppose you could make sure to always use a clean cloth to touch the stuff you are screwing on, but that does make me a bit less enthusiastic for the product.
@@1bowmaniam??? I live in NYC, upstate NY has far to many trekking parks where a fire is prohibited. Lava gel oven can seriously opens up opportunities to enjoy a nice hot meal rather than a packed cold ham sandwich where fires are prohibited. Let’s not diminish the fact you can eat the packets 😂 I may buy one.
Very cool stuff. The lava gel oven seems very interesting for one person meal prep. More car camping but short hikes as well due to weight. Several good thoughtful products. Thanks for sharing.
GSI always has some pretty cool stuff. Its no accident that pretty much all my car camping kitchen gear is theirs. Id love to see more of their new line up.
Jetboil makes a device much smaller, less expensive and it's been on the market for many years. It's called Jetboil Crunchit Fuel Canister Recycling Tool and sells for under $10 almost everywhere.
I've been searching forever for a single bevel chisel knife but all I could ever find was double bevel... I'll definitely be looking into that outdoor elements chisel neck knife!
❤ My favourite was the orange collapsible single-burner stove near the end of the video (23:28), followed by the refillable propane tanks (18:45). Now if there were a way to merge those 2 products by replacing the GSIs single-use iso canister with the FUEL KEG propane tank, I would buy them in a minute!
It looks like a clone/adaptation of the Snow Peak Home & Camp Burner (GS-600) that's been out at least a couple years. There's already some other clones out that are cheaper than what GSI is doing here (but those may be less durable than the GSI version).
Good vid mate lots to look at I have ran the same MSR Wisperlite stove for over 30 years and just change the o-rings every couple of years and the best thing is it will run on any fuel that burns.
Thank you for sharing the expo items. The lava gel cook system looks promising. For backpacking purposes, it would be even better if you had salt packets with directions for adding water, rather than carry excess water weight around for the duration of the hikes. Better yet, give the salt water ratios and leave us to decide how to carry and dispense that as needed. One last point, $2 per meal in addition to food costs is a bit pricey. Maybe eliminating the salt water packets will bring down the costs. Happy camping! 🤗
The Hypershell looks interesting. I was an avid surf fisherman, but as I got older, bad hips and knees make the long trek in soft sand to the shore painful and I have to make several stops. Even at $600 this might be worth it.
Great video review, i must compliment you on long hours and not laughing outloud on the A/C cooler slash jacket. Thumbs up on being professional 👍🏻👍🏻 Though i cant find the review or link for the GSI crossover sink clean up set. A link or direction would be awesome 😎
Much appreciated! That cooler vest was a real hoot. Some of that GSI stuff won't be out until next year so that's probably why I couldn't find a link yet.
I'm familiar with MRE heaters and Barocook. The Lava Gel looks like a simpler way to heat soup or a can of something else for one person. For the price I'll probably get one for my prep kit.
You are correct. Lava Gel is a much better product than the old MRE heaters and Barocook uses that same old technology. The old technology was an uncontrolled chemical reaction, meaning all of the energy was released at the same time. Lava Gel tempers it so max temp is 205° F and it holds that for 10 minutes and then slowly falls off. The old tech would get to 300° F Plus and then die, so you use the residual heat from the water to heat food. Very inefficient compared to Lava gel.
That would be an awesom show to go to. So many sporting goods outlets, including Bass Pro, Cabelas, and Academy is about the extent of our source around here and most things are not on display. It would really be nice to put your hands on the gear.
@@FOXMAN09 Thank you for your interest. As a rule, one application is sufficient to achieve relief. However, this also depends on the chosen treatment setting, the skin area and personal sensation. The skin is very individual from person to person. Some also decide to treat twice at a lower temperature (instead of once at the maximum setting). In the case of particularly severe insect bites, it may also be necessary to re-treat the next day. Best regards, Team heat it☺
That butane to isobutane adapter that GSI has is pretty neat, id definitely like to check that out more. I have a Coleman butane stove that i hardly use anymore and wouldn't mind putting the butane canisters i have to use.
I like budget friendly, or if expensive it must be tech/ light or very innovative (multi cards don’t meet the criteria) Hey!!! I got my Scout Feather in the post last week! It’s like a larger and more functional Folts CRKT, I can personally recommend it as a handy camp knife, fire starter….the spine has a great 90’ grind, my bedding can attest to the big fire starting sparks it produces…….
I'd like to know a lot more about the lavagel oven - specifically if their environmental friendly claims are true. I'd be interested to see if that tick repellant ultrasonic device works on dogs or humans and if dogs can hear it. Thanks for braving the show.
I would love to see the man eat that Powder. He told about that like it was magic candy. 😂 Barocook have these for years. But i dont know if they usw the same minerals.
The inventor does eat it at shows we have had for other products. Lava Gel has been fully vetted as food safe. It is used in our Thermal face mask directly on the skin. The Gel Matrix is actually a soil enhancement because it allows the soil to retain more moisture and the food grade minerals replenish the depleted minerals from the soil. Lava Gel is patented and is not the same as the Barocook.
Need a Full usage review of the GSI selkirk collapsible butane stove please! How Low can you go on simmer without turning off the burner? I understand lack of usable flame control, especially for simmering, is a pretty big issue with many camp stoves.
There are some similar in Amazon, I’ve been using them for years and they’re much more inexpensive than these. You can drink the water afterwards and mine can be refilled with ice from the store too, think about how you’d freeze again without a freezer if you’re camping for a week +. Mine once they melt, drink the cold water, go get ice and fill, no more water in the cooler making a mess.
After a quick search i see small mouth packs and chemical refilled ones.. could i please have a product name to search for.. very interested in these@@carmenmartinez2882
thanks for sharing. I love that GSI collapsible butane stove. Had my eye on a closeout stove but it, well, takes up a lot more space XD I love the idea behind those Fuel Kegs (I saw one at a store tonight even) but for myself, I don't have room for one of those huge backyard grill-sized propane canisters to refill it with. I like the idea behind the Lava Gel oven but someone on Amazon said theirs warped on the first use >_> The Barocook oven exists, too; both of these, the heating elements are way too expensive imo. Both products feel like printer companies lol. The money is in the refills :D
I've seen different reports of those green cans blowing up or leaking after being refilled too much. They weren't designed for that and they therefore aren't as durable, so refill with caution.
Right. The original intention was single use but you can refill. Same with the butane canisters. The one caveat is how many times is safe to refill before there is an issue or user error causing a valve issue and failure. I actually like it.
The recycling centers want to see that hole so they are not crudhing live cans of explosive gas. You throw them out because there is no valvd on the tank, just a rubber ball that plugs the stem. After some grit or dirt gets on the ball, or the ball cracks, the canister leaks and when stored in a confined space is likely to explode. The interior is not very rustproof, either.
The people that make the coolerpak. They need to make the cap wide enough so you can put ice it it. Not just water. If I'm traveling then I can buy ice and put the ice in the cooler pak
I’ve not seen a reverse one. That would be the shiznit (sp?) for marshmallows. I’m an expert marshmallow roaster getting them evenly brown / crispy and tripling in size. It’s harder than you think 😂
sorry i have to get very serious with this.... I've never seen a "outdoor" product that screams more bullshit than this thing. total waste of money, resources and space.
I don;t see the butane adapter listed in your description, or the GSI Outdoors butane stove that folded up so nicely. Does that just mean neither is available yet?
Hello! While this could be a long shot I'm looking for some advice. Over the years I've collected some good secondhand sleep system gear. However, I'm seeking advice on updating my tent (which is too small to fit my pack and sleep system inside) and sleeping bag (which is only suited for the Australian summer). I want to invest in good-quality equipment that will last but, don't have an unlimited budget and need to consider exchange rates and weight. Recognising the above, can you recommend me some tents and a sleeping bag that can do both the Australian summer and winter (86-40F). Appreciate your time.
I'm excited for the Lava Gel, and I know flameless cook system/ warming packs are nothing new, but I think they will need to drop to $1 per boil. $2 is a bit much. There are legitimate uses for a flameless cook system, and I'm interested in seeing how the tech evolves, but it needs to come down still.
This is a scam. That old gugy didn't invent anything. It's a MRE flameless heating pouch combined with a container. And the kit, as presented, exists since several decades now and the biggest manufacturer is BaroCook. Check on Google....
It is similar but not the same. The old technology was an uncontrolled chemical reaction, meaning all of the energy was released at the same time. Lava Gel tempers it so max temp is 205° F and it holds that for 10 minutes and then slowly falls off. The old tech would get to 300° F Plus and then die, so you use the residual heat from the water to heat food. Very inefficient compared to Lava gel. It is patented in almost every major GDP.
Mu dog hates the wet chemical tick repellent. He walks away every time he sees me coming for him with one in my hand. I now use the tickless product for my dog. It is great! It also deters mosquitoes.
Don't waste your money on that. It's much better to have either small ice pack you can tuck between the food to save space. Or to have a large block of ice. And....much much cheaper. It'll also avoid you look like a fool at camp sits ;)
Ya that would have been nice. I saw you there as they were closing the doors the first day, but you were engaged in conversation with folks and I didn't want to interrupt. Next time.
I've been using it the past few weeks and imposing it on family members and so far I think it's legit. Not perfect and has its tradeoffs (my kids squeal at the heat) but useful. Maybe I should do a video on it.
Never seen anyone use these garage door panels in so many different ways . Thinking you should make a green house using them to keep the cold out. So you can grow food longer into the cold months I have one and have been thinking this would be a great way to insulate the house from the cold ground
Great video! I look forward to seeing a test of the ultrasonic tick repellent devices for humans and pets. IF it works, I am sold. Also, will the ultrasonic bother the pets at all... Also, the heat device that takes the sting out of bug bites,,,is very interesting! Let's test it when it comes out!
i camp solo a lot and I am always looking for a better sleeping setup. I would like to find a hammock with bug net and rainfly that can also is purpose build as a bivy on the ground should there not be trees. Is this something that is out there, or am i overthinking it?
I don't know of anything off hand. It might be that those are both niche products used generally by different folks. Maybe just not enough interest to make it.

$39.99 for a hot dog stick?! Haha no thanks.
Even if it spins by itself? 😉
Had one that did marshmallows years ago. Lasted exactly one use, and broke where the spinny bit met the handle. It likely didn't cost $40 though.
ive yet to find a good banana stick, roasted bananas are surprisingly delicious, esp on a smore
I'd buy one. Put some Cornish game hens on it lol

The good old days

I bought a 'Heat It' bug bite thing from Amazon and for me it works really well, itch free night and I had over 7 bites on each hand!
Nice! I've been camping quite a bit lately and am finding it works quite well for me too.
Hey, thank you very much for your order and enjoy your itch-free time! 😊
yo hot dog man was working harrrrd for that money
$39.99 for a glorified stick on sale for $37.99. lol I wouldn't buy it for $15
And embarrassing the heck outta the woman behind him.
Love the enthusiasm!
I laughed out loud when he plugged his buddy to the AC

So did I. And I was there next to him.

Here in Germany we use the Heat it already for a few years. I highly recommed it.

Those Nomad sleeping bangs are really comfy. I have them too. They feel like you're under a cotton blanket.

If you're going ultra light, I doubt you should prioritize what you can achieve with just a little bit of attention and a light hand movement^^

"Heat it" is nuts. Have one here. Small, light and it is working and you have it allways with you instead of the bigger bite away sticks
It has surprised me.
I have the heat it since about a year and carry it around on my keychain. Super handy, if one has a mosquito bite

Interested to see if that Solokool actually works on low for 10 hours and on a side note, how do you vent it out because usually that part is hot air.
20:23 Now that is interesting. Ordered one to see how well it works.
So far I've been impressed with mine.
I'm not American so I may not understand, but was that hotdog holder slightly over-engineered?
How very European of you to ask. 😂 But probably ya.
That's called Capitalism 😊. If it sells, it's a successful venture!
I’ve not seen a reverse one. That would be the shiznit (sp?) for marshmallows. I’m an expert marshmallow roaster getting them evenly brown / crispy and tripling in size. It’s harder than you think 😂
sorry i have to get very serious with this.... I've never seen a "outdoor" product that screams more bullshit than this thing. total waste of money, resources and space.
the stove is dope dude
Loved the video. Thank u.
I don;t see the butane adapter listed in your description, or the GSI Outdoors butane stove that folded up so nicely. Does that just mean neither is available yet?
I couldn't find it online yet.
There is also certain gasstations you can get 20 Lbs of ice for $1
Wow really? Where?
I like the outdoor-element stuff
lava gel sounds interesting, would need to see an in depth test
Agreed and noted, thanks for watching!
I like that omni utensil. Gonna check into that.
Hello! While this could be a long shot I'm looking for some advice. Over the years I've collected some good secondhand sleep system gear. However, I'm seeking advice on updating my tent (which is too small to fit my pack and sleep system inside) and sleeping bag (which is only suited for the Australian summer). I want to invest in good-quality equipment that will last but, don't have an unlimited budget and need to consider exchange rates and weight. Recognising the above, can you recommend me some tents and a sleeping bag that can do both the Australian summer and winter (86-40F). Appreciate your time.
That was great!
I'm excited for the Lava Gel, and I know flameless cook system/ warming packs are nothing new, but I think they will need to drop to $1 per boil. $2 is a bit much. There are legitimate uses for a flameless cook system, and I'm interested in seeing how the tech evolves, but it needs to come down still.
This is a scam. That old gugy didn't invent anything. It's a MRE flameless heating pouch combined with a container. And the kit, as presented, exists since several decades now and the biggest manufacturer is BaroCook. Check on Google....
Lava Gel has been out for many years in South Korea for camping and hiking products.
It is similar but not the same. The old technology was an uncontrolled chemical reaction, meaning all of the energy was released at the same time. Lava Gel tempers it so max temp is 205° F and it holds that for 10 minutes and then slowly falls off. The old tech would get to 300° F Plus and then die, so you use the residual heat from the water to heat food. Very inefficient compared to Lava gel. It is patented in almost every major GDP.
Yeah, the guy lied.
I need that flextail headlamp. Does anyone know when they’re releasing that???
Not sure yet.
That lava gel oven is amazing!
Mu dog hates the wet chemical tick repellent. He walks away every time he sees me coming for him with one in my hand. I now use the tickless product for my dog. It is great! It also deters mosquitoes.
Thanks for sharing!
I clicked on the cooler pack link. They haven't launched yet. Any idea when they are going to hit the shelves?
Don't waste your money on that. It's much better to have either small ice pack you can tuck between the food to save space. Or to have a large block of ice. And....much much cheaper. It'll also avoid you look like a fool at camp sits ;)
I believe they said they're gonna do a Kickstarter first. Check there.
Have you made a review about the latest sleeping pads?
No, not yet. Are you interested in the more backpacking style air mattresses or the thick comfy car camping pads?
Like the compact camp stove!
Nice! Should have met up while we were both there!
Ya that would have been nice. I saw you there as they were closing the doors the first day, but you were engaged in conversation with folks and I didn't want to interrupt. Next time.
Lava gel oven is just that hot hands cra..p
Lava oven gets mixed reviews on Amazon. I’m getting the bug bite thing for my GF.
Would be interested to see if the bug bite thing actually works
I've been using it the past few weeks and imposing it on family members and so far I think it's legit. Not perfect and has its tradeoffs (my kids squeal at the heat) but useful. Maybe I should do a video on it.
It should work. I've always used hot water and metal spoon. 😅
Never seen anyone use these garage door panels in so many different ways . Thinking you should make a green house using them to keep the cold out. So you can grow food longer into the cold months I have one and have been thinking this would be a great way to insulate the house from the cold ground
Great video! I look forward to seeing a test of the ultrasonic tick repellent devices for humans and pets. IF it works, I am sold. Also, will the ultrasonic bother the pets at all... Also, the heat device that takes the sting out of bug bites,,,is very interesting! Let's test it when it comes out!
6:10 thats so clever and well made
i camp solo a lot and I am always looking for a better sleeping setup. I would like to find a hammock with bug net and rainfly that can also is purpose build as a bivy on the ground should there not be trees. Is this something that is out there, or am i overthinking it?
I don't know of anything off hand. It might be that those are both niche products used generally by different folks. Maybe just not enough interest to make it.
Doesn’t Haven make a hammock like that?
I like that CoolerPak. Thats really cool but $30-$45 is friggin pricey.
Also, harbor freight sells propane refill valves for like $15
Conclusion: There is a lot of outdoor-gear out there, nobody ever needs!
You're not wrong.
That has to be a fun time! I subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
That camp stove that folded in on itself was cool. 24:30
Agreed
