Thank you! Yes, I believe the slope of the other two options will result in your feet touching the fabric and this really isn't good for several reasons. (If you're over, say, 6 ft / 183cm)

Ultraventure? Terraventure?

That's very kind of you, thanks so much! Hope it helps people.

🦍 Very interesting :) Thank you for watching!

Thank you very much for watching! My virus solution is Katadyn Micropur tablets and I have occasionally used them when it was clear the lay of the land indicated likely contamination. I think when traveling in very rough places, the Guardian would be the way to go.

@@IntegratingCarbon Viable solution. I hike with multiple people in my party so it didn't really make sense to carry one filter and if I had to carry a few Sawyers plus dirty bags and water storage then the weight was nearing on the weight of the Guardian. So for expediency and efficiency sake it just made sense not to opt for the trite and true Sawyer. Super dialed-in kit you got there by the way. I'm gradually reducing the amount of accoutrements I take and videos like these fill me with ideas. Thanks for sharing

Yes, great point, if you have a lot of people a pump starts to become the efficient choice! Glad to know the video could give some inspiration.

Thank ya very much, appreciate the feedback.

Not in my experience, the bivy kept me dry from a good deal of rain on this trip. At least two prolonged storms came through that night. Now, the conditions were such that I had some internal condensation that wetted inside but that would be true for any bivy closed up. PTFE just can't breathe out through the membrane at 100% humidity. But of course a bivy is a hasty shelter not really intended to do what a tent does. Additionally, the construction quality of the bivy is VERY good. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much, very kind of you!

🙌🙏

Great question, it's because the Nallo has the sloped foot end, which is not good for taller people. After accounting for sleeping pad thickness and height of the sleeping bag, there will be contact and compression against the sloped wall. The Kaitum maintains the tunnel shape, so therefore the wall at the foot end is vertical and avoids those problems.

This is going up the Burroughs-Wittenberg-Cornell side. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much!

Yes, that, and also a video on how you pack up the tent and dry it out. Also, did the guylines/tie-outs come pre-attached and ready to use, or did you have to attach them all yourselves. If the latter, a video on doing that would be helpful. Thanks for this video!

Thanks so much for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind about packing and drying. For now I can say that for me the best way to dry and clean the tent is to keep the poles installed and then hang it upside down, attaching to the staking points at both ends (the metal rings). I do this in my basement, and I use hooks attached to the floor joists. This way I can stretch the tent out and run a fan/dehumidifier and easily reach all areas for any cleaning necessary. Partially unzip everything to maintain structure but permit airflow. I purchased this tent used, so I can't be sure if the guylines were already attached. However, it seems like they were because everything is so uniform. I'm sure Hilleberg could answer that question quickly.

That means so much to me, thank you, and will do!

That's a good plan, I wish I had a dog for that!

That's right!

I really appreciate that, I'm happy I can do that for you and others.

Tell me more!

Not even acting, it really works like that for me haha

I really enjoyed this one, fantastic weather.

That's so kind, thank you very much for watching!

That's really cool to know, how old would that probably be?

@@IntegratingCarbon id really have to see it in person man. But what I call mature is 4 1/2 years +.. but it could of been a 10 year old deer they usually don't get older than that. The only fairly accurate way to judge age is by the teeth on the lower jaw.

Ah yeah, and everything else was gone! Curious about that too, whether the skeleton got dragged off or the other way around.

@@IntegratingCarbon coyote or fox probably carried to where you found it. On younger deer the nose bones are fragile and the entire nose would have been gone. they just chem them off. That one is just missing the top.

Really fascinating forensics, thank you!

Pretty remote where this was abandoned at, just a bit of humor. 😉

@@IntegratingCarbon I'm still not into it. But, thank you for your reply and explanation. May you and yours stay well and prosper.

You as well. 🙂

Definitely, definitely. Beautiful to see the way the hills mesh together into the creek bottoms.

@@IntegratingCarbon I have a problem of running into several awesome places that I want to camp at along a hike but, cant make up my mind 😆 You ever have that problem?

Sometimes yes, though I'm so often planning ahead that I tend to already know. But this time it was tempting to stay near!

💯

Awesome, thank you for the confirmation. I've never seen their teeth up close and wow they look aggressive.

I am a Taxidermist and have seen many skulls from all over the world

Excellent--what is your most interesting or favorite?

Hehehe. Well, that's interesting, thanks for the clarification, I'll have to look into it more! Maybe next time I should sleep with a trail cam on me...or Claymore mines 😹. Thanks for stopping by!

Haha, love that idea

Guess I filled my quota 😛

Thank you for watching!

Ty mr skeltal

Thank you!

And I hope there's a little more true winter left to test it fully.

@@IntegratingCarbon Missouri River area in Northern Missouri holds some pretty good cold temps . Lots of places to get lost on purpose 👍

Thanks, I appreciate that

What's that now?

😎

Awesome, we have a LOT of great natural areas here. This is in Mark Twain National Forest. Thank you for watching!

I am close to the lebanon area

Excellent, there's a lot of good land out that way!

Thank ya

Yes and might as well boil it and put it in a Nalgene for some extra warmth! (see other Short) Thanks for commenting and watching! 🤙

given he's in a tent without a bottom I'd say he's probably backpack camping. and no, dont eat snow in a situation like this. that can plumett your core body temp and it's still water falling through the atmosphere collecting pollution particulates. it's still gotta be melted down and boiled b4 it's "safe". a fire is almost necessary if this were a survival situation.

This is in the middle of the woods. 1L boiled water in a nalgene in a Ziploc bag to keep feet warm overnight is the starter. Then 1L already in the titanium pot on the liquid fuel stove ready to heat. Then this with some space left to pour in warm water. Thus the multiple tiers of water without having to sleep with too much of it hehe. This just shows the "risk" if all you did was leave it out! Thanks for commenting and watching! 🤙

Ain't that the truth!

That's a fantastic story, thank you for sharing. And thank you for watching! Swing by and see if you like any of the adventures I've posted. More to come, too. :)
