Very Cool 👍

Mini has NO Maps!

Great video. I have been wanting one of those. Well done. New follower here. Crow✌️

Keep a recording of your mother in law complaing. Play it loudly to repel anything, including bears.

I bought one of the first inReach devices and still have it working and it saved my live near Kanchenjunga BC . Next to it I now use it during solo trips into Africa to let my family know where I am and safe and feedback If my parents or anyone else wants me to return home. ... ! It was worth any penny. .

No audio on right speaker.

Ok.but what do you wish you got instead

Great video! With this quality your channel is bound to grow!

Blimey....that was ..erm pacey...brisk....devils dandruff tempo

A nice balance of the two is attainable

Stunning

Thanks ❤❤❤

Just tell me why I drink more water climbing mountain, I run short. Getting dehydrated and no water anymore anywhere. Is it ok to survive with no water

I use a GPS (GPSMAP 67) for its numerous other functions than giving fixes and pixelated tracks, and the battery life is very decent, compared to smartphones. So, that is already here. The 67i or the mini have satellite communication with the rescue button. I am an average working person, and by no way frequently out in the wild, vacation disregarded. But when, I would rent an Inmarsat satellite phone, at about 100 $ per month or 4 $ per day. The mini costs once about 290 $ plus the abo, which can cost another 20 $ or 70 $ per month for the full functionality. In case of emergency, when I am in a distress or even wounded, this would be much easier to handle than the 67i or the mini or any similar device to SMS something to somebody without pairing the phone, and so on. And the barrier to initiate that costly rescue chain is none, because one can talk to friends, relatives, or whoever, and the Inmarsat phones of course also have that SOS function. That satellite rescue thing with preprogrammed "I am fine"-SMSses will IMHO be not very interesting, as the smartphone vendors still integrate Inmarsat in their devices.

Don’t buy food. Everyone hangs their food at night for free….

👍

Something a lot of people dont think about with these is that after you hit the SOS, you really need an effective way to communicate with rescue. With the 66/67 you can do this on device, but with the mini you really need a phone to type with (lets be real, the on device typing is horribly slow). Often a rescue will go through multiple groups (garmin, 911, medical professionals, forest service, coast guard...etc.) and each group needs specific information from you in real time to be the most effective. If your phone dies, effective rescue (including self rescue using its navigation) is massively reduced on the mini.

I was looking into Microspikes the past couple weeks or so. Kahtoola was the brand I was seriously considering. Glad you are confirming they would be a good purchase.

Got the 67i as it's so much easier to use and has way more features. It's also faster and more reliable. I used the mini 2 a few times for work, but opted for the 67i and I'm SO GLAD i did.

I think the BD Spot is a good mid range option thats reliable

From what I understand, the 67i has waaaay better battery life. It also has a much more accurate signal. Would those upgrades/improvements be enough for you to consider the 67i over the Mini 2? Or are you still happier with the Mini 2 even still?

A woolen kidney warmer weighs next to nothing, packs very small and will keep you warm even in the coldest weather. I lived at the arctic circle and the kidney warmer was the biggest game changer for me.

Absolutely amazing and helpful. Visit k2 and Nangaparbat view point. Whenever you start a short solo trip of 4-5 days, Moses Peak is a must. It is a 5300m height۔ from the top of moses pea which you can see the views of the K2 world second highest peak in the world, Nangaparbat, K6 k11 and K 12 views in one frame. best time from May to October. This is a family tracked.its open Zone, one did not need a trekking permit or have to pay Royalty fee to climbed this Mountain tower

Great vid good info and review. I got to check out that Stio jacket. Digging the channel btw. Keep it up

You probably know this already but those sizers also double as toe nail cutters. Hand when your client suddenly realizes there toe nail is cutting into there toes.

I'm not a rookie but I am not an expert, so I am glad I caught this video - most all of which I knew but a few points i didn't know / think of. Plus the things I already knew, you gave me a differant perspective to think things thru for planning. Thanks for sharing!

Good morning from the UK. Could you possibly do a segment on a day/overnight hike with a dog, please? Equipment and essentials, etc. Thank you. 👍🏼

Helpful upload my friend, nicely elaborated 👏

Fenix has a great line of head lamps i own a fenix HM71r a i enjoy using it.

Petzl Actik Core all day ! Love the functions, beam and brightness levels.

As always gorgeous content my friend 👌👌

Checking if your pack can get soaked or not should be a pre-purchase step for sure. 😂

I also have the Petzl Actic Core and it never let me down.

I bought the spot today for $50 because it said dual fuel but then found out once I got home that the battery was not in it and I had to spend another $30. I’m taking it back. Don’t waste my time black diamond.

My wallet and sanity thank you. My kids go on multi-day camping trips as part of the experiential learning at their school. My immediate instinct is to buy the most expensive, top-of-the-line because...my kids. But based on what they're actually doing/not doing and when, it sounds like they'll be just fine with something less expensive.

Excellent video. I did purchase a Mini 2, but struggled with the decision for a couple of months because I had no idea what to purchase. I too, looked at the 66i but eventually passed when I learned the Mini 2 could do more than the 66i. More so it was learning with the mini-2, you use your phone and Garmin explore to see maps.

Two good devices. I opted for the 67i, which has 160 hours of battery life, although, I've never gone that long to test it. As an addition to traditional map-reading, the 67i is brilliant at warning when you're going the wrong way, a lifesaver at times. Can't wait to see more videos.

Try Nicole you could be surprised

it is a shopping habit for too many people. gimmicks and gadgets instead of tools, skills and knowledge.

Regarding the repackaging food - another tip I'm a fan of is to bring 1 dehydrated meal in its original packaging, but repackage the rest of your meals in ziplocs. Then you eat that 1 packaged meal your first night, then clean out the bag and reuse with your other meals throughout the rest of the trip :)

Thank you!

Cool preview! Nitecore has some good selection of small headlamps also, but my recent personal favorite is Skilhunt H150. It runs on 1AA, has no red light, but has very nice warmish tint and good color rendering index (high CRI led bulb). I'm sort of "tint noob", as when colors are well differentiated one can see much more details and better 3D depth, imho.

Sorry, but audio is in left channel only.

Absolutely gorgeous work and brilliant topic my friend! 👏👏

Very informative. Great job!

Can you please give name of trowell? Have you tried quilts?

Buy once cry once

I like the single-item review format with cost/functionality/quality, and that you kept it under 2 minutes. Would be helpful to know if there are more or other alternatives, but again it's helpful not having to sit through 12 minutes of content to get to the point.

How fun!!! Keep hiking! Love it. I first hiked for a lil after my cancer at The Grand Canyon! Enjoy yourself while you are young and healthy!!blessings!
