    These tent costs are ridiculous. We have a 14p and a 2p. I was looking to replace our 14p and downgrade to a 8p because our girls have left the house and if they do come along they are okay with a smaller tent. I looked at prices. They are just as expensive as a premium 4p from 2012. Currently we own a Eureka 2p. Love that tent. The 14p was a Sears Kmart brand that had premium features before Kmart and Sears started selling junk gear.

      Yeah, I agree. That's why I asked him the question. I personally don't have the budget for these but I find the tent market fascinating.

    Love these tents! I was lucky enough to get one from the second batch that came out of drop before the rest of the world figured out how good they were.

    I am a hammocker who loves the details... of which hammocking has a lot, if I had to buy a tent, it would be the X-mid Pro 2 for sure.

    tnprime here, I was joking in that 5 star review :)
    I was talking about the Skippity Doodoo and The Pack Key Fob "beepbeep", Waxinator, Talon Teeth inserts, Gas Gum, Garmin outofReach...

      Yeah...so...we realized this after the fact. :) Sorry about that. We'll circle back to this on a future episode and own our embarrassing mistake here. In retrospect that review was hilarious. Thank you so much for taking the time! If you email me your address I'll send you a package from our random gear box!

    Very interesting host 👍. Could it be canadians go solo, as there is so few crazy people to camp -20-40’C 😅

    I hate ketchup, but have loved ketchup chips the couple times I’ve tried. And I formed that opinion before Dan gave it to me.

      Really? Obviously we don't know what we're talking about because they keep selling them. But we're still surprised they're out there.

    Hey! Hey! How come no one is talking about this? The iPhone 15 is titanium. How much lighter is it when compared to a previous version of the iPhone and should ultralight wankers be geeking out over this?

      Good call om this. We need to compare phone weights on an upcoming episode. If you can shave an ounce by upgrading your phone by spending $1000, it's probably worth it. :)

    • @durstongear
      @durstongear ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yup. I upgraded immediately but the holy grail would be the mini version in Ti.

      I googled it. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is 7.81 oz. My iPhone 12 Pro Max 8.03 oz. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is 8.47 oz. So the Titanium hype is really about saving a 1/2 an ounce of weight. Not worth it. Get if you like the camera.
