Have you had time to try it? How did it go?

@@mrchriss So I’ve gotten to try it a few times now. I have not found any gold yet. I’m not quite sure if I’m getting the correct angle for the sluice box. Either that or I’m not looking in the right spots, or my creek just doesn’t have any gold. I haven’t tried in like 2 weeks, I’m waiting on the weather to warm up a little bit because the water is freezing right now haha.

@@Malicious_Creep that's nice though! You got out to try it. I love just being out in nature so that's a win in my book. I don't know which TH-cam video I saw because I've seen so many, but they were talking about how the drop of the sluice box should be something like 1inch per foot. I built myself one Frankensteins monster type of sluice box, but I haven't had time to try it out yet, it's spring in Sweden so it's flowing like crazy. Let me know how it goes next time! (Edit: it makes sense if I heard it from this video, I didn't notice where I was haha!)

@@mrchriss Oh that’s awesome, man! Yeah I’ve been busy lately and haven’t used it in awhile but hopefully soon I can get back out there. I’ll try and get my sluice box set up correctly next time. Let me know how your homemade box works!!

The Zpacks Arc Haul Ultra 70L backpack, their ultralight offering in this size, weighs 21.2 ounces (602.0 grams). This weight makes it a very lightweight option for a 70L backpack, catering to the demands of ultralight backpacking.

hello. you can see the details in the video description.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. I believe that the best thing is to look for specific equipment for drinking water and, if possible, with filtration.

In my opinion, I strongly believe that the Expedition Waterproof Winter Down Parka: amzn.to/47H78Hm stands out as the top choice.

It seems like the exact jacket used by the Weather Channel crew might not be available anymore. However, Lands' End offers two alternatives that closely match the style and features they need: the Expedition Waterproof Winter Down Parka: amzn.to/47H78Hm and the Squall Insulated Waterproof Winter Parka: amzn.to/3vLLvZq. The Expedition Parka is great for extreme cold, thanks to its warm down insulation. If you often face freezing temperatures, this could be the ideal choice. On the other hand, the Squall Parka is designed to handle milder storms and rain with its quick-drying insulation. So, if your usual weather involves more moderate conditions with precipitation, the Squall Parka might be the better option.

This is the leatherman signal, you can find it at REI: alnk.to/5jk4rb2 - or on Amazon: amzn.to/3S4TFVd

It's not freaking expensive, it's f*cking expensive

Thanks! I started watching and thinking This thing might be kind of expensive. I'll save my time. 🤣

@user-jm5wj2ck2s, The Stratos Performance Touring Kayak comes in two sizes: large and small. The large size is designed for paddlers who weigh between 170 and 250 pounds, while the small size is designed for paddlers who weigh between 120 and 170 pounds. At 5'9" and 172 pounds, you are within the weight range for both the large and small sizes of the Stratos Performance Touring Kayak. However, based on your height, I would recommend the small size. This is because the small size will be more maneuverable and easier to turn.

@@thepenguinhiker Thanks for the answer.

@bryans5839, Both the Arc'teryx Therme Parka and the Fjällräven Nuuk Parka are great options for a winter parka in the Midwest, but there are some key differences between the two. The Arc'teryx Therme Parka is a down-insulated parka that is designed to be lightweight and packable. It is also very water-resistant and breathable, making it a good choice for active winter activities. The Nuuk Parka, on the other hand, is a synthetically insulated parka that is designed to be more durable and weather-resistant. It is also warmer than the Therme Parka, making it a better choice for very cold weather. Ultimately, the best parka for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you are looking for a lightweight and packable parka that is still very warm, then the Arc'teryx Therme Parka is a great option. If you are looking for a more durable and weather-resistant parka that is extremely warm, then the Fjällräven Nuuk Parka is a better choice. Thanks and have a fantastic day!

@@thepenguinhiker what's the range of temperature is it good for? i'm looking for -20C for Toronto. thanks

The Arc'teryx Therme Parka is rated for temperatures down to -20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit). It has a synthetic insulation called Coreloft, which is lightweight and warm, even when wet. The Therme Parka also has a waterproof Gore-Tex fabric, so it will keep you dry in rain and snow. The Fjällräven Nuuk Parka is rated for temperatures down to -30 degrees Celsius (-22 degrees Fahrenheit). It has a synthetic insulation called Microloft, which is similar to Coreloft, but it's slightly warmer. The Nuuk Parka also has a waterproof Hydratic fabric. In general, both parkas are good for a wide range of temperatures, but the Fjällräven Nuuk Parka is the better choice for extremely cold weather.

thanks! @@thepenguinhiker
