I appreciate this video for the thorough analysis. I have major gear paralysis on my next pack, and I think this methodology is going to help me narrow down my choices.
I really love your content. Can you look into running more active compression on your mic, though? The peaks can be a bit harsh, at least on my speakers.
What's the lightest tent you'd recommend to use in iceland in August? I'm currently debating a mid (duomid, pyraomm, etc) vs something like a wind tunnel tent (Enan, Scarp, etc)
Not understanding some of these rationales? Personally prefer dual-door, dual-vestibules for the purpose of air-flow (when needed). Yet you rank Hexamid as "better" air-flow. This author would rank Hexamid as too much air-flow when air-flow isn't desirable and not enough air-flow when it's needed. Yes, Hexamid is great for its weight savings and packability, but most definitely not for its air-flow. Of course, long-distance hikers don't get to pick-and-choose as much as weekenders. Oddly, unpredictability and variability of conditions for thru-hikers narrows optimal shelter feature choices.

Good stuff. Thanks.
Such a useful an pragmatic video. Thank you.
Thanks!👍
So incredibly helpful.

If you're the sort of person who has bad days and thinks that things will always suck, turn on notifications for BPL videos. It's the cure!
