Lookin great! I would definitely use stabilizers though 😅

Thanks! Helped me untie a figure 8 boat rope. Used water, dish soap, hammering & twisting

Awesome explanation. Got lost in my early 20’s and panicked, did all the wrong things. I was found wet, cold, and hungry and 35 years later I’m still worried going anywhere off trail.

Perfect vid.🎯 Thanks!

I wonder if when you see the heat pattern for the back side with the sleeping bag, if that's heat that was trapped for some time in the sleeping bag loft as a result of that loft being sandwiched between the emitter (your body) and the insulator (the ground pad. No other sides of your body in the test had this benefit.

There's cool sailing trips, and then there's "Bring a couple of ice axes" - cool sailing trips! Nice one!

This is gold. I think you are spot on. 3 seasons consider a quilt. Winter use in cold weather, sleeping bag. That helped me more than a bunch of other videos combined. Sometimes simple concepts aren't so simple. Thank you.

So it's not FLIR, it is thermal imaging. FLIR scans a scene and assembles an image. You are actually doing thermal imaging. No biggie but when it comes to tech words matter.

Learn and and keep learning to apply your knowledge and beware of being too confident. It can hurt you as much as being under confident. Confidence is not permanent - do not base your worth on it.

This only works with the rope like that. Not with not that is in fabric.

Excellent video! Was exactly the knot I needed for a similar situation under pressure

Technically you are getting an azimuth. Bearings go from 0-90° from north amd South. Where as azimuth goes 0-360 starting at north going clockwise

If it's cold , I want a sleeping bag , if it's cool out , I can unzip my sleeping bag if I want some cool air . I do have a light puffy quilt for summer . I've done lots of camping . I'm 60 and have camped in the artic . If it's cold , I am not fighting a quilt , the quilt does not retain heat .

Thank you very much! (soft) hammering took care of strap used to pull my stuck car out of trouble. Knot was rock-hard, but after small work with hammer i took it apart with no problems!

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

The rolling method did wonders! Thank you so much, I tough I'd never untie that rope! It was a rope tied for years that had between 120 to 220 kg on it from time to time.

Awesome video.

If you buy a quilt with all the extras from UGQ that keep it tight around you and roll inside it rather than rolling the quilt with you creating a draft you notice a REAL difference and no need for a full bag. Mine only goes down to -21f but I’ve never had an issue other than I had mine made to be dual purpose hammock/ground so it does briefly let in a draft at the knee on the ground but it holds so much heat paired with the Xtherm and their Synergy sheet you barely notice once you’ve settled after a roll.

Compass Navigating seems alot simpler when you learn how to do it.

Highly suggest NOT using a carabiner for your last method. Carabiners are not designed for the side load a tree will put on them. A quick link is a much better device for this use. Personally, I rappel with your last method all the time and love it, though depending on the tree and how you hook into it, it can be tough to retrieve at times.

A new way to tie the Munter than the way I learned. Thoroughly enjoy upgrading my methods and seeing alternate ways to accomplish the same task. Great preso!

Quilts are lame AF. Unless it’s literally 45’ plus, they are worthless. If you can’t carry a proper sleeping bag, you should spend more time at the gym.

Great system, looked into the Jen's rig but I'm too dumb to really understand how to use it. This is straightforward and idiot (me) proof. Will be using myself for some fall sailing.

Chimera, put a video on that's better,then you can talk

I need a boat like that. Not happy with my laser anymore I like how you can just drop the sail,and the stability,ease of planing. By the way, great videos ,maybe even the best on this subject I know it's not easy from experience

Too many holes in this for the video to be reliable, well intentioned it may have been i could pick too many faults list here. Good effort for trying 👏

Awesome!

Hammer 😊👍

What is the long rope for that drags behind the Kicksled?

I don’t understand the weight argument? You can find sleeping bags with the same temp rating as a quilt for only 4oz more which is hardly a weight penalty at all. As for the rest of the differences? Seems to be mostly personal preference for choice.

Am I stupid, or can I just turn my very snug and comfy warm sleeping bag into a quilt by simply opening the zipper when I feel the need for more room to move my legs?

Thanks for this. Have you ever had the figure-of-eight slip? Just wondering if there's a more secure stopper.

After using a dozen of bags and quilts...I will say that Some quilts like the OV stormloft have almost no draughts. It's all about how you clip them to your mat ... I never had an issue.

I'll stick with my mummy bag when winter camping or deer hunting. It's not uncommon to be bellow 0° f. I can kinda see the advantage of a blanket in the summer though.

Sub’d, looking forward to your other videos and learning to sail my first time

Would it matter if I tie the rappel rope directly onto the loop of the anchor (not using carabiner)? I think the force rating will hold, but is there any pros and cons for this matter?

Thanks!

Very interesting to see the IR camera footage, although this only shows radiative heat loss. I feel like a lot of these things depend on your size and sleeping habits. This might just be because I'm very small so sleeping bags are never snug on me, but I roll inside the sleeping bag; it's uncomfortable and claustrophobic to lie on the zip. And also being very small (and a tossy-turny sleeper), I get cold easily, so something that lets cold air in when I move around is a problem.

Thank you. I have actually cut the rope to get rid of the knit. This is way better.

It’s been a while, but loved this video. Ice sailing might be the next big thing for us Sunfish sailors.

I started bringing a solar generator and my Playstation and a 12" flat-screen. It made camping in bad weather great!

I've been day dreaming of portage-able mini cabin cruisers(lmao) after trying to find campsites in Algonquin.. This is probably a little more realistic. I'm curious what back country parks would think about this. Would they require a reservation, or multiple day passes?

Here's a trick. When you're on a beam reach in a good breeze and flat water, like this, if you pull the daggerboard up about 6 - 8 inches she'll pop right up on a plane and everything gets easier. It will stay on a plane right up to a close reach. In anything further off wind the daggerboard should be as much out of the water as possible. I suggest you tackle the things below to get the most out of your Fish. 1. Get a modern plastic daggerboard. Those fuzzy edged wooden ones are death to speed. 2. Put in a hiking strap and get everything beyond your knees (+-) outside the boat when needed -- keep it flat!. Hiking pants and shoes will help with that. 3. Install a universal joint hiking stick and check out other vids on how to use it. 4. Get rid of those plastic clips and tie each grommet to the spar. Again, other vids. 5. Rig outhauls on both spars. AOV. 6. Rig a downhaul. AOV. 7. Learn how to make a Jens rig for those really heavy days. AOV. 8. Etc. But best of all, find a Fish fleet near you and learn to race. Enjoyment will increase by a factor of 10! ======================= My best story? I've got a few, here's a good one. Corpus Christi Texas has about a 9 mile diameter bay right out front. CCB is right on the exact north west corner of the Gulf of Mexico. It's shallow, perhaps 15 to 20 feet deep, and has a low barrier island right upwind of the harbor. Without going into the details, that means that when things warm up, as they tend to do in south Texas, the afternoon breeze is usually 18 to 25 mph, occasionally up to 35, with absolutely amazing chop. About 6 feet trough to crest, and a frequency 15 -20 feet, depending on depth. A real bear to sail upwind, but we didn't do that, we trailered the boats up to CCA&M and sailed down to the T-heads (local info...). Not straight downwind, but reaching across the seemingly vertical waves, following the sets. Imagine for yourself, please.

I think im stupid for not thinking of the idea of "soaking water."

I need a full length zipper... quilt = trans-Fart sack. This is gay

You need to clarify "a long way". I grew up in a mountainous region and it's fine to take a bearing from a long distance to get an idea of where you're heading, but you can get lost easily in some terrains by doing that. I'd argue that once you know which direction you're heading in, it's wiser to take repeated bearings as you go. Compasses aren't that accurate over long distances mate, even the best of them.

Thanks this something I would like to do

There a bit a fray but I think it's fine 😅 thanks again

Yo, 😂😂😂 I got it, I had a not in wretched tow rope belonged to my step dad for years it's been Stuck in the tight knot and it's bugged me. I use your method of soaking it. So did that in hot water and with some conditioner took it outside and hit it with a hammer 🔨 and wallah it came undone 😅😅 thank you for this upload awesome 👌 some stoked.
