Interesting that you can't afford it when you have a very expensive jacket, watch, macbook, marshall...

My wife and I invested in the 10F convertible system which was extreme for conditions we just discovered we preferred to hike in. Now we're looking into the 25F ultralight iteration since we were so enamored by the 10, but I'm skeptical about the sewn in foot box. Part of the appeal of the convertible is having the option to splay it out like a blanket from home. Sheesh though, two grand for an all year round system causes some apprehension. It's my wife's fault, I automatically have to purchase doubles of whatever gear I'm interested in. The material is buttery soft as advertised though.

I also can't afford this. I'm still looking into an EE quilt, though their prices have gone up too. I've never quilted before, and I'm a bit nervous to drop this much money on one.

Thank you for your nice review. I Planning to get one but my Torse is 18.9inch what size should i need to buy M or L? thankyou

Great video! Knives are an important part of a kit. I don't have a neck knife but can see where it could work well for some. I do carry a small leatherman as well as a Swiss army pocket knife, not sure what one but it was directly from Switzerland as a gift.😁

I started camping in elementary school and never stopped. From quinzees to tarps to tents on pads or browse beds, I would argue the browse bed when done well is the best of those. However, about 15 years ago in my early 30s I found hammocks and I pretty much never slept on the ground again. My hammock camping setup was the same weight as my tent setup and the comfort isn't even close. I use a bridge hammock with a pad which does add extra weight but is far more versatile since I often end up above the tree line and my hammock acts as a bug bivy until I can get back down in the trees. I under-inflate my pad and it is like sinking into a cloud. While I get what they're trying to do with the Zenbivy, I don't think it solves any real issue that hasn't already fixed for me as I don't really have draft issues as I'm not a really active sleeper. I have spent a small fortune chasing the light and comfortable thing and after almost four decades of camping, my hammock setup is more versatile and more comfortable than anything else. In torrential rains on the West coast, instead of people hiding in tents I end up with people congregating under my tarp as there is enough room for 8-10 people to visit and stay dry. Plus, I never have to worry about my gear getting wet from the ground as it's always hanging from my suspension. And the mom brain thing is legit, it's well studied that if your kids are around it'll be harder to relax because you'll be wanting to keep them safe.

Try getting it in Canada with $100 in shipping and 130% exchange….

Always bring a knife, mine is the victorinox compact so maybe it isn’t considered a knife. I use it every time backpacking, not as much day hiking but it still comes with me. Used to use the leatherman squirt, but wanted a longer blade on the knife. My kids both carry the victorinox classic. IMO ultralight should still mean self sufficient. If I have had to borrow something, I change up my kit to ensure that use case covered next time.

Just buy a high quality mummy bag if one doesn’t like drafts.

I have the zenbivy light bed, love it. Just a little heavier, and actually cheaper than quilt sets from other sources such as UGQ or Enlightened Equipment.

Great video! I always bring a knife on my trips. I also have the minimalist knife but I usually take my leatherman micra as part of my repair kit and an opinel number 6 knife for my kitchen kit.

Can I ask what campsite # is that?

Can’t wait to get mine

I made some severely costly errors in my early gear procurement days. I had zero concept of weight so I ignorantly purchased a Hilleberg Keron 14lbs $1,400 expedition tent intended for polar excursions. I live in Virginia. Forehead slap. That and an almost 3lbs S2S comfort plus sleeping pad. I think I still might have a pack strap impression etched into my shoulders from my first attempt.

Yeah I gotta respectfully disagree on the pump style filter. Maybe that particular brand you have is jankety but the MSR Guardian just expedites my filtering time and not to mention it saves me being hunched over at a creek shore exerting all my physical might for 20 minutes squeezing through a Sawyer. Plus they're so prone to clogging if you aren't filtering pristine water. The ability to toss a tube into a creek from the safety of dry ground is a selling point for me as well as the peace of mind in knowing Im filtering out any potential viruses in the water which the squeeze styles aren't noted for.

Where did you get that packstrap insta360 selfie stick holder I didn't see it your list in the description. I've scoured Amazon and 360's site and I can't find it anywhere

Been my exact thoughts as well. It’s such a limited market with so much money to be made it confuses me how no one has really caught on. Such a shame about groundbird and how she just stopped posting and ignores everyone. I don’t believe she owns the patent on the harness so may take some of the design and build one. Maybe start a business with gear the backpackers actually want and need

These are not mountaineering tents ... these are "fun" camping tents.

Thanks! I love Canadian content.

Another great review. You should not have to spend that much money and then have to make that many modifications to it.

Underrated, no nonsense reviews. Hopefully mfgs are watching.

Agreed, having the same issue for my dog. Thinking of trying to make my own to fit on a ruffwear harness as that is what I have.

Thanks for sharing our backpacker mug!

Geez that’s an awfully narrow trail! What ran out ahead and crossed the trail??

Always add 1 or 2 extra person capacity when buying tents, cos the actual number is for the exact space that we’ll get. Kinda confusing for us consumers

Great rundown of your gear. I look forward to seeing your stories from the trail because I love your practical approach. I also will be curious to see how having the Gaia maps on your watch works out.

What is the name of the pink 30kmah battery bank? That seems too good to be true.

Nice to meet you this weekend. Looking forward to the new pack coming this week!

Less ugly?! 😂 Can't wait for the review!

Thoughts compared to BD beta light?

ホーネット3Pとダガー3Pの違い見られて助かりました。ありがとうございます。 特にホーネット3Pの動画を探してましたのでうれしいです！

Looks a great pack. One concern, it looks like the hip belt pockets are quite a long way back and difficult to get to? I'd like to see those MUCH further round for easy access.

not very useful review if you still have the tags on it!

I love my MLD, but the hip belt pouches are impossible one-handed. Just found your channel today. Look at all these videos going back with so few views! Can't wait to binge watch them all!

Great review! A very slick pack, indeed.

And then you boil the water to kill the viruses

I got that yesterday myself and as usual different people or companies have different preferences so hard to get everything I am looking for. I did get it for hut to hut hiking and I think the size is fine. I was diapointed the side pockets seemed quite snug for my RX100 camera. Also the shoulder stap webbing or buckle is interesting that it seems hard to slide.

Thanks a lot. I would prefer a zip chest pocket but understand that some like the 2nd bottle pocket for bear spray.

Less ugly.. lol

Great walkthrough. Thanks for putting this together. - Dan

I've never heard of this fabric. Didn't EPL Ultra 200/400/800 just come out not long ago? I thought that was supposed to be a supped up Dyneema. Is this even tougher than that?

How does the size of the hip belt pockets compare to the pockets on the unbound. I have used an unbound and wondered are the shoulder straps also different

Well done video!! Mine's on the way.

Love your videos here in uk. U just keep reviewing all the kit im looking at which is great.

Looking forward to hearing about your experience with it out on trail!

These guys are silly. The Nemo Dagger OSMO is a highly reviewed tent with high praise.

Super cool looking pack! Can't wait for the 50 ;)

Nice review Angel! I think its going to be a popular pack this year.

It has a holder for a water bottle? That’s pretty cool!
