Quilt comparison at 10:44
Mvp
The only thing you should pour a Budlight into is a sink!
jerry d you probably would have to
Thanks so much for making great videos. I just started getting into backpacking last fall after recovering from chemo & radiation for stage 4 cancer. I'm loving it, and I've learned so much great info from watching your videos...more so than any of the others. Keep up the awesome vids!
RIP
I have a Revelation 10 degree 950 fill and love it, just spent another 4 days in it over the last week. So Warm lol Take Care Bigfoot
I went with the Revelation for my warmer weather 40*F quilt and the Enigma for my colder weather quilts. Just made sense to me...
hope you get to do your bucketlist hikes! thanks for all the great advice and videos!
Everest Basecamp is on my list as well. I’ve trekked all around the Himalayas in the 3 months I was in Nepal. Just didn’t get to EBC....yet. Great content as always! Cheers.
I love your reviews! They are so informative!!!
Love the new "Music Less" style vids! Also have lost my [our]Garmin InReach on our last trip into the Trinity Alps....uhg!
Cool that you want to hike the Camino! Im planning on hiking it in spring/summer 2019. Le puy to Finisterre.
I hiked the Camino in 2015 if you don't like road walking you'd probably not like the hike. That being said it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life because of the people you do it with.
Great video !!! And I look forward to getting one of your shirts .
A thought on the Quilt topic. The Revelation would benefit from down socks in the early season so you can drop the Down Socks as the season(s) warm.
Great style! Very well done, bud!
Thanks for answering another one.
I like the conundrum for the zipper. At least when it’s cold I can zip it all the way shut and keep the warmth in if needed...still gives me everything the egnima has....
If you’re ever wanting to do a cheap Aussie hiking trip check out the Bibbulmun track in Western Australia. 100% free to hike, no permits required and huts/campsites are also free. In total it’s 1000km/620miles. Track runs from Perth to Albany through various terrain and can be walked either direction. Anyway happy trails 😉
Watched half of the video before I saw the bigfoot doll in the tree lol
What is your opinion on choosing trail names before you get to the trail vs getting them while on the trail?
Great video, I was a bit disappointed to find out that Enlightened Equipment uses duck down in my 850 fill stock revelation quilt
Beer and olives😋. Sooo good!
You should rep a MN beer next time! We have so many amazing breweries like Indeed, Bent Paddle, Dangerous Man etc.
Option 3 - Half Dome , you can call and reg for the lotto then they email you the permit if you win. We called and got permit standing on North Dome and did Half Dome two days after. 😀
Thanks for the video
I’m in the market for a new sleeping bag. What do you recommend, enigma, revelation, or z-packs? I would get a 20 deg bag for 3 season backpacking.
The moment you said that you hated Bud Light is the exact moment i subscribed. Lol
Thanks for answering!
If I may ask a follow up:
From the videos you posted of the JMT I don't think you've had any problems with crossing rivers/creeks. However, if one faces a significantly rushing stream, how ok is it to go off trail to find a better crossing?
Also, how do you ford? Barefoot and then drying your feet after; trusting the waterproofness of your shoes; waterproof socks only?
Cheers! 🍻
You said you wanted to do the Camino de Santiago. I am planning my 3rd walk. Different route each time. I like it because not sleeping out doors. Albergues (hostels) every 6 to 10 km. we averaged about 25 km per day for 33 days. Go in the fall or spring unless you want to walk with 1000's of people. Our last was winter very few people were walking.
Everyone has the Thermarest Neoair Xlite sleeping pad but I don’t hear too much about inflating it. How taxing is it really after a day of hiking to inflate it or do you feel it’s that critical to get the self inflating accessory? I just purchased this but haven’t received it yet
Has anyone with the egnima tried using it as a blanket at the campfire or something? Does it still work?
Curious how affiliate marketing works? I always hear about folks getting a portion of the sale if someone buys something through the link. Would like to hear a little more on that.
Do you have any interest in hiking less traveled routes like the SHR?
Where is a good place online to sell used gear?
Do you think a Zpacks Duplex would actually work for two people? It seems like a lot of people use this for one person. Does Ms. Bigfoot ever go backpacking with you? My husband and I just got a permit for the JMT and I am looking into getting a new tent. We have a REI half dome 2 tent which is a comfortable and durable tent which we have used on shorter backpacking trips, but it is a bit heavy and I'm looking for lighter two person tent options. Thanks.
I believe you picked up a Zpacks Arc Zip pack. How is that working for you?
Did you ever find out an answer on why the AT doesn’t just start at Amicalola Falls?
How do you store your Quilts? I put mine in a tub and it smelled like farts, Enlightened told me to hang it due to the type of down they use. You ever have smelly down products?
FWIW, all down is smelly... some more than others. It really depends on each shipment. You should smell the down supplier's warehouses!
Agreed to comment below; that beer is amazing down the drain...lol Have you ever considered hiking any of the incredible great walks in New Zealand? (Amazing microbreweries here to enjoy) Thank u for the videos as they helped to ditch arduous traditional to the more enjoyable lightweight hiking! 🤞 one day completely transitioned into UL
It’s just amazing how alcohol is so embraced by our society. Wine connoisseurs are considered to be educated intellectuals.
On the other hand, a cannabis connoisseur is largely considered to be stupid pothead.
Both are drugs. One is safer and more healthy than the other. And when I say, safer and more healthy, that’s in regards to BOTH the individual and society.
10:45 He discusses the Enigma and Apex
did u just say budlight and beer in the same sentence?
I checked on the half dome info and there are a few mistakes. They give out 300 half dome permits per day, 225 day hiker and 75 backpacker. Then they give out 50 for the "day of" but according to the Yosemite website, they have changed their policy so that it is not "only in person" and seems that it is also a lottery.
"The daily lotteries have an application period two days prior to the hiking date with a notification late that night. (So, to hike on Saturday, you would apply on Thursday and receive an email notification of results late on Thursday night. Results will also be available online, or by phone the next morning.) The application period is from midnight to 1 pm Pacific time."
So, now, in theory, you can apply in Reds Meadows and then hike to Tuolumne Meadows and find out if you got the permit or not. If you did, either you can try to fully day hike it, all 24 miles or camp after doing half dome. You could also start the trail on they day you get to Tuolumne. If you get the first 5 miles, that is most of the up other then half dome and you will have a reasonable 19 mile day down to the valley. Also, if you permit does not require you to say at little yosemite valley, I would suggest staying at ~0.5 miles before the half dome junction where there is a creek. There are normally about 30 to 50 people at LYV and that is just too many people in one area for backpacking.

Thanks Loathomar. Looks like I was looking at specifically the overnight backpacking permits with that info I shared. Thanks again
Check out the Milford Track in New Zealand.
Or just anywhere it New Zealand at all
I found this video bc i am deciding between the enigma and revelation for the MST lol
I wouldn't do either. Save some cash and get a UGQ.
r3dreck ....preach
Video would definitely be better with timestamps.
Your first problem was Bud Lite.
Make an Inca trail video. Don't get stung by a bot fly though.
Hey Bigfoot, I already sent you a link for the Bigfoot trail, here is another lesser known trail.
onda.org/regions/oregon-desert-trail/
Get a UGQ or Loco Libre quilt instead.
I don't know why bloggers and tubers always push EE. I ended up buying one from all the recommendation and returned it. Took it out for the first time in 38-40 deg lows....and froze my ass off. It was a 20 deg quilt. I have a Nemo siren 30 degree bag that had me sweating in the same temps. I won't buy another EE quilt. I'd probably grab a zpacks classic bag.
Some people run hot, some run cold. I slept fine at 18* in my 20* quilt, also slept fine at 36* in my 40* quilt.
joe shmoe eh... bullshit. I'm a hot sleeper. If you're loyal to a brand that's cool but don't assume I'm uninformed about this subject. The bag was underfilled in the top outter baffles nearest the v. It wasn't from migration either. It was a substandard quilt. Or at least a poor quality one slipped through QC.
Besides,...your own comment basically destroys your own rebuttal. If it's subjective....then what's the point of saying the temps?
I actually hated their under quilts and sold them for something better. Sorry I bothered to waste my time. You sound like a crappy person.
joe shmoe you sound like a post modern know it all
click bait...get to the topic
I have many topics in my Q&A’s based on what all of you ask, this is just the features question of the week
Just shut this video off,,,bud light in my house ? No effin way flamer,,out ,and stay out……..
