I should have not watched this video. Now I want to go camping so bad. Lots of great tips! Thanks!

I know this will sound like a weird question but, what do you think about this shoe for Parkour? I'm an older Parkour enthusiast, no flipping but lots of running, vaulting, precision jumps and wall climbing. And the last one is the reason for my question. I need a shoe that is not only flexible, but has a good grip on walls. The best Parkour shoes I have purchased so far are reasonably good at grip, but the toe wears down incredibly fast because the shoes aren't designed for that kind of wear and tear at the toe. So my thinking is: what if I can find an approach shoe that has all the flexibility I need for Parkour, but the rubber and grip I need for wall climbs. What do you think?

Great informative straight to the point video.

Thanks for the review. I considered the Felix 7x Pro for hiking/backpacking/walking/camping. Currently, I am an iPhone & Apple Watch Ultra user. I'm not unhappy; I'm just exploring options. My workflow centers around the WorkOutDoors app. LOVE THIS IT!! The AppleWatch mapping and customization is insane) I use Footpath and Gaia for route planning. (love/hate with the Gaia interface) I have some experience with Garmin Explorer with my InReach mini. The #1 feature I like about the Garmin watches is the battery. However, I think the quality of the iPhone and AppleWatch apps/ecosystem with battery limitations is superior.

I’m sure everyone would love to know what watch you use that actually meet your superior needs

Awe Inspiring hike. Awesome Fastpack too...I'm about to try a Aoniji 30L for a weekend tropical adventure. Looking forward to it!

Hey Kane! Thanks for another super informative video :) Just wanted to get your thoughts on neoprene socks vs WP/B socks like Sealskinz?

Looks like a winner to me! Thanks.

On zpacks website it says come with rechargable battery shows a pick of it too the port is on the battery

Great video and great comparison. I have the Plex Solo, but have thought about switching to the Altaplex. Good information. New follower here. Crow✌️

Wow, what an excellent review. I am looking at both the MSR Habiscape lounge 6p and the Marmot Halo 6. MSR is having an extraordinary sale right now, so the Habiscape will probably win out. If so, I'll be happy to purchase through your link and will definitely subscribe to your channel

Just buy an Osprey backpack, comes already fitted 😂😂🇬🇧🇺🇸👍

Tiny, most space taken up by the battery

Some say you need earplugs

I use a soldering nail to melt 3 holes in the toe bumper to let water drain. It cuts dry time down significantly

I hang my stuff on a old fashion clothes line. That includes a tent if I am using one. I spray the bottom 12 inches of the tents sides and all of my clothing including my hat. I put on a mask to stop any possibility of breathing some of the spray.

Actually the concentrations are not in the same ballpark. Sawyer is 14.3 time more concentrated that yours. That's more than an order of magnitude. Not to get technical or anything.

Thanks for the vid, gave me a shopping list for the next camping trip lol

Such a great set up!! thanks for some great ideas for a great camp kitchen!

Does this repel bugs or just kill then if they land on it? I had no idea you could use it on your clothes like that. I definitely giving that a shot

do you use a footprint for that tent? If no, why not?

Hi, Question about sizing TX4. My foot length is 28.7cm. The insole length of size 45 is 29.5 cm, and 45.5 is 30vm. What is your experience about fitting this TX4? I know it depends of many things, foot shape and so on. We have to take care of to protect big toe from touching end of the shoes... How much space is there in toe box? Just your thoughts... Ps. No options to try one, just to order online

Hey pal! Thats exactly what Ive learned over 3 years of hiking here in Scotland in some very back conditions as well. Glad to hear you preffer X-Mid solid 1 which I also have :) ...for my sleeping pad im using BA rapide sl its super comfy but its 700g so thinking of Xlite Large as im 5'11. I have got Gregory Focal 58L which is 1.3kg but im strongly considering your UD 40L fastpack or maybe GG Kumo 36L, not sure but I want lighter, with running style vest, that I can use for both hiking, running etc hmmm Ive seen this Six Moon D. Swift V 50L it looks great. But yeah hard to pick one. UD 40 here in UK is for £140 which is a good price comparing to other brands that makes fastpacks. Love your set up and all.

Great vid. Thanks

Looking on Amazon I noticed that the label on the On Guard Pro Perm Insect Killer bottle warns against applying to clothes. Am I looking at the wrong product?

permethrin is 0% water soluble, it is most likely an organic solvent it's mixed with. it stays suspended. (30 years in pest control) skin won't absorb much at all when it is dry. Excessive sweating in treated clothes can cause irration for some folks. the key point it is a contact insecticide. in pest control we use it in foggers and flushers (like raid).

If your going to catch them so be it just check your body on an evening and get rid, here in Scotland I've had loads on me .

I buy the 10% off amazon, dilute to end up with the final percentage I desire in a 5 gallon bucket, soak my clothes in that overnight and then hang to dry completely. Once the clothes are 100% dry I will run them through a light wash cycle in my clothes washer, no soap, and then air dry again. They are good for the season that way.

I’ve used the Garmin Fenix watches a many times on night navigations since the first Fenix in the military. This is the worst review I’ve ever seen. Also who uses their iPhone as their sole navigation device.

White gas has an advantage over propane in that it works fine in freezing temperature.

Very nice explanation. I'll be using this method. It looks like it minimizes line on rock abrasion too!

I live in Canada too i like to try this item can you place a link for the amazon item or just the name i see if i can get some too thanks Dave from Labrador No Ticks but loads of Black Flies!

Does it need to be rinsed after treating it or just wear it as it is?

Do you do this before each trip or does it last through washes?

Great video. I just released a video talking about this product as well. There is another product we can get in Canada called Ultrashield you may want to look at. Thanks for sharing

What?

But when you just dump it in like that, you don't really have any control of where the product is sinking into no? Is it not better to apply the product basically just around the lower leg area / ankles etc? That's what I do. Then spray my trail runners. I just wear a mask when spraying.

You're correct that it does not dissolve well in water, so it also isn't likely to leach into groundwater. Haven't noticed a difference between the stuff you're using or similar water-based formulations that are available in Canada (Bug-Tek, etc.) and the Sawyer product from the US except that the bulk stuff is actually cheaper. I'm skeptical about the "binding agent" claims for the Sawyer product, and they list everything except the permethrin itself as a trade secret in the SDS. It definitely works, but so does the Bug-Tek, OnGuard, etc. They haven't really given us a satisfactory reason for not allowing permethrin to be marketed and sold for this purpose in Canada, and there are literally hundreds of permethrin-based products available from stores across the country.

Really like the short and to the point content. Thanks

I use a product available in the US that is called Duration, and it is specifically formulated for apparel and fabric, which doesn't leave the "petrol" smell. I also mix it up in a bucket and soak EVERYTHING in it. All my hammocks, tarps, clothing, backpack, ...I put a 5 gal bucket out, and just start hanging stuff to dry off the trees in my back yard.

Nice and concise. It’s unfortunate that the Sawyer isn’t available there. The claimed advantage of Sawyer’s formulation is that it includes binding agents so that it isn’t washed into waterways during stream crossings and clothes can be washed few times before requiring another treatment. Apparently the agricultural stuff doesn’t do that. Also, don’t hang the wet clothes where felines can get to it. It’s toxic to them in a liquid state.

I have been applying permethrin to my cloths the same way for years. Except that I use a higher concentration and let it stay soaked in the permethrin for 24 hrs before hanging it out to dry. It lasts longer on the cloths this way

Thanks Kane, I was wondering about this, appreciate the to the point video!

Thanks for the tips Kane. I use the spray bottle from the US, but your are right it is time consuming. I will definitely think about your method in the future. Thanks.

Kane does chemicals - nice kinda chemicals that is!

Good idea. No nonsense. Thanks for not wasting my time.

I bought one recently. The threads to open and close the battery housing were very rough and gritty. At one point the aluminium chips and dust generated from opening and closing the pump caused the housing to jam halfway closed, although there was still battery contact with the circuit. Upon further inspection, opening and closing the device resulted in a huge amount of aluminium debris being generated. Aluminium dust is very flammable, and I am worried that generating a flammable material inside an electrical device that is blowing a lot of oxygen past it, while inflating flammable mats and pillows inside flammable tents is a recipe for disaster.

Neat! Thanks. I love my MSR Lightning Explore, 26"? They are amazing in deep hilly forest pow. They really keep me (200lb old guy) afloat above forest deadfall. No heavy pack use, though. I match them with a pair of Vasque Snow Junkies. This year and last have been very dry, no snow to speak of. So many snow melts and refreezes.. Nasty stuff.

Seems like this review is made by someone who doesn’t understand the device. Yikes.

Some elite tips bro 👌🏽
