Hey, thanks for the video. Currently I am considering which Cutaway to get. Is my assumption correct you have the 30l (18" as you said)? Since we have similar gear this would be helpful intel. How many days of food can you fit inside? Wondering if a 5 day carry is feasible. My BW is around 9lbs. Appreciate any advise, I'd love to make the 30l work.

Great video man. Just some questions. 1. How is the internal volume between the 2 packs? Which one is bigger? 2. How many days of food can you carry in each pack max 3. Which pack do you find more comfortable to carry or which do you find yourself using more? 4. Do you prefer the ultraweave or ultragrid fabric, I'm deciding between the two, I've heard of delamination issues with ultraweave... 5. Where did you buy the quilt stuff sack and what volume is it? Thank you 🙏

Another way is use a chemical hand warmer against the canister only in freezing weather of course.

this is one rare tent!

I have two products that work beyond all measure. One is Smidge. Even if you sweat, it stays on, and it is safe for all areas including the face. Don''t use it on wounds. The other is Jungle Formula Again, it will stay on even if you sweat, and it will protect against ALL biting insects, including mosquitos, midges, and ticks. Both are very cheap, both last a long time and both are utterly fantastic at getting rid of anything that can bite. DO NOT use Permethrin on anything. Not only is it going to leach into the environment in the rain, it is also carcinogenic. Your kit is not what is important to bugs. YOU are what is important to the bloodsuckers. Protect yourself and you should not have any difficulty with biting insects. Slugs, now they are a different thing altogether. Moths can be avoided by using a red light, because they can't see red.

Milk of magnesia is an effective deodorant. Could i use that instead?

Sukses selalu sobat, salam kenal 🙏🙏

Mosquito like bright white so i wear a white shirt on the way to my site to get it stinky and pin it to a tree a bit away from me, sometimes that thing looks like static with how many it attracts, if they're especially gnarly at night point a light at the shirt. Maybe I've placebo'd myself but i swear it keeps em off me, still need some kinda skin coat repellent for backup

Bivvy on sleep pad means lots of ticks

Hi Matt. Enjoyed this relaxing walk. Past Experiences: I was stationed at the submarine base in Groton, CT from Fall, 1971 to November, 1974. As a hiker I enjoyed walking the CT blue trails. But, on two occasions, I went to Cape Cod (October each time) and hiked all but one of the trails (Great Island) in the National Seashore. Also rented a bike and rode on the paved trails. My favorite was at the Marconi Station area. Enjoyed the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp Trail. Another I enjoyed was the trails at the Nauset Area and its trails. One of the keys was going in October! I assume there were water sources at/near the designated camp sites. Always great when there's a picnic table as well. Always enjoy your hiking videos - thanks!

Very cool video, Loved the content and the music. It was very dreamy, bubbly, and aquatic. For some odd reason i was expecting to see a Mermaid. I think I'll watch it again.

Such a beautiful and unique scenery my friend!

Thank you for not speeding up the water flow test in the final video. It saved me from buying a mini. It's one thing to see numbers, it's another thing to see it live. As a weekend warrior, I choose micro. A good compromise

I'm actually looking at a Cutaway since my Joey is just a bit too small for what I need. Would you say the Cutaway can handle weight better than the Joey? I found the Joey got uncomfortable above 20lbs, and I need to be able to haul up to 25 comfortably...

I will just use my tent, thank you

I've got about 100 miles, including the entire Foothills trails, on my Timp 5s and I'm finding that they're the best Altras I've used. I've wanted a wide toe box, zero drop shoe that also has a little more mid sole rigidity than the Lone Peaks and the Timp 5s do the trick. I'd imagine people who have really wide feet might find the Timps a little narrow for their taste but for my fairly average width feet, with almost no arch to speak of, the Timps are ideal. Durability in those 100 miles has been pretty good as well.

I just got these about 3 weeks ago and i have about 35 miles on them too. I still have my timp 2 shoes and alternative but i am happy enough to use the 5 for good now. I liked the timps because they are middle of the road. I tried all three of them on and went back to the timps. Olympis felt a little too heavy for me too and lone peaks not enough cushion. Good luck this weekend. Im going to try it if they let me in because they closed sign up really fast, like 3 days i think.

What one would you recommend for one or two nights camping with a 2 person tent like the nature hike cloud 2?

Lovely

Thankyou very informative. I love to go into hot areas in swampy lush environments (lowlands on National Parks). Trouble is Mosquitos love my blood. I find a good neutral colour tarp to use if needed for rain. Other than that I have a lifesystems geonet self standing mosquito enclosed net. Added to this when out of the net and little to no wind, I use the Nitecore EMR 10 battery powered mosquito, rodent, snake repeller. I still get the odd bite (nothing is perfect), but without this kit it would be unbearable. I would add that if you are going to base in a leafy area (fallen leaves on the ground), then move them away from your base as bugs love the insulation given under the leaves and live there.

Nice! What color tent is that? Olive or Spruce?

Poke the snake with a stick. Its a fun game. I call it "run"

Thanks for taking us along, very nice looking trail.

I'm pretty sure you are comparing the A5X (which I think is gen 2) to the A5 gen 4. There is a A5 gen 3 which has the magnetic clip and attachable tailcap as well.

Love palante packs

Cool video man, thanks. I'm thinking of getting a bivvy but I'm concerned about condesation. Do you get a lot of it in the borah bivvy with the fabric they use?

Squattin with you in the woods while you drop knowledge, once again. Good to be here, buddy. Sorry to hear about da lymes..

Great review! I love that there is also no chance of zipper failure. Big win!

All it takes is ONE mosquito to buzz around your ears when trying to sleep. I will put up with a few extra ounces of weight for a mosquito, snake, scorpion and tick free night of sleep in a tent.

Beautiful trail. How many miles was that trip?

lol I thought the torts were an April fools joke.

What Arcteryx Jacket do you wear there?

Thanks for the video Matt, I've been loving your stuff. Super informative. I'm doing a 108-mile section of the NCT in Michigan this year, though not a racing pace like the Allegheny 100 (I'll be more like 84 hours, and the elevation gain is also laughably less than the A100). Still, I think your 100 kcal/mile makes sense. That would put me at 10,800 calories, or just over 3,000 kcal/day, which is about what my expenditure is during training. Your recent gear video for the A100 is also super helpful. Do you have all of this info on LighterPack that you'd be willing to share?

I like the altra lp6 yellow version, but I can’t find it anymore

Mushrooms aren’t ‘veggies’ - they’re fungi! Ha. In any case, good video and good luck on the race.

Good luck

спасибо за радостную новость. абсолютно согласен с автором в его размышлениях и предпочтениях относительно данной линейки лон пиков. 7 даже брать не стал, решил ждать 8. Нет ли ощущения, что у альтры нечëтные версии слабее (эксперементальнее) , чем чëтные?

Where did you get that smal pump for your SUP?

Isnt there scent free deodorant?

Very cool video. Cant wait to go myself! Where is the other place on the Cape to tent camp?

Couldn’t find the packing list

Don’t drink a lot before bed, bathroom breaks have to be tough. I could see myself losing my mind at 330 in the morning. Looks like an interesting shelter. Pretty roomy. Probably not too heavy.

I will stick with my mid. The zpacks are loved by many but scary light to me. Can’t justify the price as a section hiker.

In the outdoors, insects outnumber us wayyyyy beyond our imagination. Before packing to leave, I apply permethrin to the inside of all - repeat, ALL - of my clothes, sleeping bag, tent, etc. As W.C. Fields said, “Never give a sucker an even break.” Violate this to your own discomfort and regret. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

Idk about this one. For running, a running vest is superior (look at your side profile - the pack is leaning back away from you). And for hiking, a Zimmerbuilt Quickstep is both lighter and has more volume. And you have a chance at reaching a water bottle in the side pockets. Speaking on that, would have been great info to share (with a smart water bottle). Also the Mini Joey looks silly (but maybe that's just me). Thanks for the video!

Great review as always! That mini joey looks amazing.

I use an alpha 90 leggings and a 120 senchi hood shirt as part of my sleep system. it adds 10degrees conservatively paired with quilt. So nice for mornings, the leggings work great under shorts

A white light attracts bugs so at night set one up away from your camp.

Good review 😊
