Great review, thank you. So far the only review I found about one of these ultra light rain jackets, that included a real hike in heavy rain with a heavy backpack on. I am considering buying one of these, but the one concern I have is of course the durability, because I also want to use it (even though sparingly) with a quite heavy backpack on. Most times I use a water resistent softshell and an umbrella, but sometimes that's not enough. I don't expect this jacket to last for many years, but I was wondering if it can withstand a backpack at all. Your review gives me hope, that it can. Roughly how heavy was your backpack, if I may ask?

I am relatively new to backpacking… and even newer to posting about what I do online. I’ve just designed and made my own tent pegs using solid carbon fibre rods. I used this video to inform my thinking when I was coming up with my own design. (I did make a video about it) I also copied your testing methodology. Thanks for the inspiration.

Buy cheap. If I don't like it, or find I don't use it much, no biggie. If I use something and it wears out I can upgrade, because I still have money.

Great fix

Glad you are back, missed your common sense messages

Just bought your sæt....think it is very usable, thanks ;)

How much $ will this system cost?

Frog tog's poncho better idea

You gotta stop with all the video cutting

Hi there! I’m planning buy this tent but I’m not sure what colour. Do you think is much different (less or more) light in the tent if is green or brown? Because I’m not sure about the colour. Tom

Looks like it will be leaking before long since it is "breathable" and has stretchy fabric.

I want this pad so bad but hard to justify these prices!

Om innertältet var mesh hade detta varit perfekt! Tack för videon.❤

I used trail runners for an 8 day trip in the Swedish/Norwegian mountains in the summer. Worst thing I could do.. my feet were wet all the time and the shoes did not dry because there was always some water or swamp i had to walk in. I have changed to shell boots but then you have no ventilation but you can change socks because the boots are more dry. I use trail runners on day hikes where theres no water. I dont understand how anyone can use trail runners in the swedish mountains. Do you use sealskinz socks? What is the secret??

i would think ultralight backpackers would be all over a knife. dont need butane/propane, tent stakes, can make your own utensils, and has so many survival/defense uses. I think its a culture and age thing. going to school as a kid I usually had a pocket knife, would use it for doing random chores or helping out, like one time I was helping my dad burn a bunch of old wood at a house he bought, i think it was 7th grade. in highschool, there was signs on all the doors (legal requirment in the us) that said you couldnt have a knife at school, but it was not really enforced. kind of a comming to age thing here in the us at my school, lots of upper classmen had large-ish folding pocket knifes obviously displayed on their pants pockets, but if you didnt whip it out it wasnt an issue. I remember getting in a fight and thinking, i can whip this out and teach this guy a lesson, but realizing that would make things a lot worse and just knowing things hadnt come to that. some kind of maturity i guess. it was a tool like a pencil, sure you could shank someone with it but why would you do that. i would say if you remember 9-11, you are the age where you could still whip out a knife at school to open a bag of chips and get away with it, espeically if you were 17-18 years old at the time. not anymore here.... im assuming. i mean they used to have gun/shooting clubs at school before my time. appearently you cant even throw snowballs anymore. we uesd to put rocks in them and freeze them. lol, they cant just make a rule about fluffy snow vs hard snow/ice imo a big part of camping is making camp, which always revolves around making a ground fire. there is something primal about it, gets rid of the bugs atleast. its what camping smells like in my mind.

Nitecore just released their "NU20 Classic".

if you're bringing a tripod, camera and bits n bobs then a multi-tool is important. A seat is here nor there. But the rest, yea, I agree. Unless you are OK with walking with weight. To be honest, carry a sink if you want... it's really up to you! :-)

I really don't understand why it doesn't have vent shrouds like the Akto. I've heard those shrouds is where the Akto has a tendency to leak, though.

Vilken storlek har du på senchin? Och hur lång är du? :)

Both LiteAf and Pilgrim Ultralight have seam taping as an option on their backpacks

The main reason to use a cozy is to let food finish cooking without using more fuel.

Great video man

Blå Band smakar bäst. Är det någon som tillverkas i Sverige?

Great video. What size bags do you use for liners? They look quite sturdy and it's good that they're clear. What brand of garbage bag are they?

Hey im looking at the plancklite . I normally wear large in jackets so im confused what to go for. Im 5ft4 and a large normally fits well… i really dont want it to be too big

This sounds great. Looking for very light gear for walking the Te Aroroa in NZ. I hesitate though: I looked it up online and the website (a good one) had a heads up mentioning not to use it with a heavy back pack because of the thinness of the fabric. You mention it but not as a dealbreaker, it seems. Often, even in thicker jackets in my experience, the straps remove the coating I think, making it leak. No issue for you?

Many backpack fabrics might be somewhat water resistant (completely waterproof packs are more rare and they have their downsides) but will get wet after long exposure to water. Even if the stuff inside is packed watertight, the outer layer and all the pockets will get wet and it will take a rather long time to dry. When the pack is wet it makes the pack heavier and the pockets will be nasty to handle, everything is damp and not nice. Specially when there is possibility of leaving the pack for a long time in the rain a raincover is good to have. In military conditions a camouflage pattern raincover adds concealability.

You could review the new NU20 :)

😮I'm all about flashing modes. You never know when you might needed em. Stuff happens. Also usb c is worth the upgrade.. Who in 2024 wants different type of cables with them, especially in Europe where usb c is standard

Love my Lightning 60

This skirt / kilt only limits your stride length as it's almost a parallel tube, and its easy to solve that with a more full skirt. An ankle length half-circle skirt made of a waterproof fabric would address the downsides you noted, although fuller skirts are more 'flighty' in high winds.

Consider putting those extra layers inside the quilt with you to keep warm. Great video.

Thank you very much for the explanatory video. Do you know of any type of straps like those for Nordic walking that are compatible with this model? I have problems with one of my wrists and my life would improve considerably if they existed. Greetings and thanks.

I would have One of this Trike.

I’m on my second one. The first failed after 3 camps. Flextail sent me a replacement free of charge.

what quilt do you have in the video

I have no idea what people found abt this stove..

Hi Robert, I appreciated the review. I've had an MSR hubba hubba for 10 years and it still holds up but I would like something lighter and that doesn't cause condensation. Do you know any companies that make the equivalent of the Dyneema hubba hubba? so as to have resistance, lightness and waterproofness... but double layer to eliminate condensation and have greater ventilation if it doesn't rain (or it rains only vertically and not in the wind)? thanks in advance. Andrew

Att sätta staven något snett istället för helt lodrätt ger mycket mer plats.

I have a question about the side guy lines. Should they be in line with the loop pole or angled towards the front slightly? Also the two additional guy out points on the ends, how long should they be and at what angle?

I have never taken a knife on a hike but I would point out a small Victorinox IS a knife!

Really enjoyed the video and nice easy content . First time I have seen your channel and now subscribed.

Bought the whole set up. But the adapter which goes on the end do the sawyer doesn’t seem to screw all way in like in the video. Did you take out the seal ring so there is more room?

Very good clarification regarding the Katdyn filter and frost. Appreciate it a lot. Do you know if there is an expiry date for BeFree Katadyn filters that have not been used? I have a filter that has never been used and it is approx. 4 years old

Compare apples to apples. If you want to double the use duration of the EMR10, you don't need to bring a power bank. You just need to bring two extra batteries.

Is the setup the same for the Sawyer Squeeze Mini? Or do you need different fittings?

dirt guard? is it part of CAP -hydrapak? or where did you get it?

Just purchased a Rival Tac, and it came with NO directions. Do you have any directions you can share please?

Hei Robert, flott tips som jeg gjerne vil benytte meg av. Finner ikke disse produktene i Norge. Har du et tips hvor jeg kan kjølpe dette. Enten i Sverige eller eventuelt andre land? Hilsen Gunnar
