Oh Nomad makes great sleeping bags! I actually grew up using their bags. Their basic bag lasts a really long time, and they have been making sleeping bags for decades. Awesome to see them expand their market.
Looks like they're just making their move into the US.
The level of junk is amazing
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Using an exothermic reaction to heat food is far from junk. It's actually genius. Mixing a chemical with water to create sustained temperatures of 200+ degrees is genius level. If I'm ever out camping by myself for a day or 2, I don't need my stove or all the set up and cleaning required to use it.
Exothermic reaction has been used to heat MREs in the military for decades.
@@Joe_And_Nina_Pierce it's not new technology. It's basic, well known chemistry.
And I really don't see how this is going to reduce cleaning. All I clean up after eating while hiking is my spoon.
@@ageofgaslightenment immediately what I thought of when I saw that. I was like "this isn't knew. pretty sure this is how I heated my MRE's when I was in" lol
Thank you for sharing the expo items. The lava gel cook system looks promising. For backpacking purposes, it would be even better if you had salt packets with directions for adding water, rather than carry excess water weight around for the duration of the hikes. Better yet, give the salt water ratios and leave us to decide how to carry and dispense that as needed. One last point, $2 per meal in addition to food costs is a bit pricey. Maybe eliminating the salt water packets will bring down the costs. Happy camping! 🤗
GSI always has some pretty cool stuff. Its no accident that pretty much all my car camping kitchen gear is theirs. Id love to see more of their new line up.
Light weight multi functional items that combines items I'm already using is direction I hope more companies take. One handle for a spoon and tooth brush, that's thinking like a backpacker. More of that, but the toothbrush heads wouldn't make sense unless they sold replacements
Totally agree, I really love the products coming from Outdoor Element.
The multi-use handle is neat, but the screwing stuff in part is a bit dicey.
The point of a long handle is so that stuff on your fingers doesn't go in your mouth, but now you are using your fingers on the stuff that goes in your mouth to screw them on...
I suppose you could make sure to always use a clean cloth to touch the stuff you are screwing on, but that does make me a bit less enthusiastic for the product.
$39.99 for a hot dog stick?! Haha no thanks.
Even if it spins by itself? 😉
Had one that did marshmallows years ago. Lasted exactly one use, and broke where the spinny bit met the handle. It likely didn't cost $40 though.
ive yet to find a good banana stick, roasted bananas are surprisingly delicious, esp on a smore
I'd buy one. Put some Cornish game hens on it lol
What ever happened to a stick and making a point on one end.
The good old days
I laughed out loud when he plugged his buddy to the AC
😂
So did I. And I was there next to him.
They made the Budddy Cooler
I bought a 'Heat It' bug bite thing from Amazon and for me it works really well, itch free night and I had over 7 bites on each hand!
Nice! I've been camping quite a bit lately and am finding it works quite well for me too.
Outdoor Elements just got a new customer! Sweet stuff
I really like their stuff too.
Jetboil makes a device much smaller, less expensive and it's been on the market for many years. It's called Jetboil Crunchit Fuel Canister Recycling Tool and sells for under $10 almost everywhere.
Very cool stuff. The lava gel oven seems very interesting for one person meal prep. More car camping but short hikes as well due to weight. Several good thoughtful products. Thanks for sharing.
Lava gel looks very much like flameless ration heaters, already in use in MREs. Just add in a box and tray instead of using retort pouches.
The lava gel was super interesting
Toys toys toys!! I'd love to see more on the GSI butane folding stove, please.
Noted!
It looks like a clone/adaptation of the Snow Peak Home & Camp Burner (GS-600) that's been out at least a couple years. There's already some other clones out that are cheaper than what GSI is doing here (but those may be less durable than the GSI version).
I don't see it on their website.
yo hot dog man was working harrrrd for that money
$39.99 for a glorified stick on sale for $37.99. lol I wouldn't buy it for $15
And embarrassing the heck outta the woman behind him.
Love the enthusiasm!
Great vid. Thanks for brining us in!
I couldn’t find anything on the Armadillo Camping Table. Supercool!
A lone British dude makes it and I'm not sure he's even got inventory yet. Brand new.
The Lavagel Oven looks AWESOME‼
Thanks 👍
It's a scam. Check for MRE Flameless heater piuches and also the company BaroCook. that old guy didn;t invent anything...
that lid looked like it was bowed out and warped to me.
Not new, look around there's many brands...
Great reviews! My guess is the big new item for camping and backpacking is going to be the Starlink Mini. 😆
Good vid mate lots to look at I have ran the same MSR Wisperlite stove for over 30 years and just change the o-rings every couple of years and the best thing is it will run on any fuel that burns.
If it ain't broke, don't replace it! Cheers
The lava gel, he won't tell you he just repackaged a MRE heater.
it is different stuff same concept mre heaters dont gel like that
i like the multi purpose pot holder to prep cans for PROPER disposal !!!!
Cool gizmo.
I use legally refillable King Flame ones. Cost about $35 for 2 one pound canisters and about $1 to refill from your big tank at home.
Jetboil Crunchit Recycling tool sells for less than $10. Been on the market for several years now. And it's safer, smaller.
The people that make the coolerpak. They need to make the cap wide enough so you can put ice it it. Not just water. If I'm traveling then I can buy ice and put the ice in the cooler pak
Yeah and to clean or dry the bag, but so it will be molded.
Good idea
Yeah and line it so that dry ice can go into it as well... Give them frigid temps some legs! That would be righteous
The Hypershell looks interesting. I was an avid surf fisherman, but as I got older, bad hips and knees make the long trek in soft sand to the shore painful and I have to make several stops. Even at $600 this might be worth it.
Interesting point and good idea.
I have the heat it since about a year and carry it around on my keychain. Super handy, if one has a mosquito bite
How long does it stop the itching for?
I'm excited for the Lava Gel, and I know flameless cook system/ warming packs are nothing new, but I think they will need to drop to $1 per boil. $2 is a bit much. There are legitimate uses for a flameless cook system, and I'm interested in seeing how the tech evolves, but it needs to come down still.
This is a scam. That old gugy didn't invent anything. It's a MRE flameless heating pouch combined with a container. And the kit, as presented, exists since several decades now and the biggest manufacturer is BaroCook. Check on Google....
I'm familiar with MRE heaters and Barocook. The Lava Gel looks like a simpler way to heat soup or a can of something else for one person. For the price I'll probably get one for my prep kit.
You are correct. Lava Gel is a much better product than the old MRE heaters and Barocook uses that same old technology. The old technology was an uncontrolled chemical reaction, meaning all of the energy was released at the same time. Lava Gel tempers it so max temp is 205° F and it holds that for 10 minutes and then slowly falls off. The old tech would get to 300° F Plus and then die, so you use the residual heat from the water to heat food. Very inefficient compared to Lava gel.
@@LavaGelOven Thanks for the update. I did place an order for the bundle kit.
Focus was nauseating but content was awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I've been searching forever for a single bevel chisel knife but all I could ever find was double bevel...
I'll definitely be looking into that outdoor elements chisel neck knife!
Good stuff.
Why would you pierce a used pro pan tank when they are so easy to refill? I never throw away a small propane tank. Wasteful.
I've seen different reports of those green cans blowing up or leaking after being refilled too much. They weren't designed for that and they therefore aren't as durable, so refill with caution.
Right. The original intention was single use but you can refill. Same with the butane canisters. The one caveat is how many times is safe to refill before there is an issue or user error causing a valve issue and failure. I actually like it.
The recycling centers want to see that hole so they are not crudhing live cans of explosive gas.
You throw them out because there is no valvd on the tank, just a rubber ball that plugs the stem. After some grit or dirt gets on the ball, or the ball cracks, the canister leaks and when stored in a confined space is likely to explode.
The interior is not very rustproof, either.
I'm not American so I may not understand, but was that hotdog holder slightly over-engineered?
How very European of you to ask. 😂 But probably ya.
That's called Capitalism 😊. If it sells, it's a successful venture!
I’ve not seen a reverse one. That would be the shiznit (sp?) for marshmallows. I’m an expert marshmallow roaster getting them evenly brown / crispy and tripling in size. It’s harder than you think 😂
sorry i have to get very serious with this.... I've never seen a "outdoor" product that screams more bullshit than this thing. total waste of money, resources and space.
Nomad sleeping bags are the best. Had one since i was a kid and now after 30+ years just bought a new one because the old one was finally done.
Thanks for your content. I'd love to hear more about the Teton Hacienda 8 person tent.
Noted, thanks!
Same. It was saying 8 person, but with that cot and a person in it - it wasn't looking 8 person.
"Heat it" is nuts. Have one here. Small, light and it is working and you have it allways with you instead of the bigger bite away sticks
It has surprised me.
I'd like to know a lot more about the lavagel oven - specifically if their environmental friendly claims are true. I'd be interested to see if that tick repellant ultrasonic device works on dogs or humans and if dogs can hear it. Thanks for braving the show.
that ultra sound thingy doesn't work. ticks literally climb over it.
I would love to see the man eat that Powder. He told about that like it was magic candy. 😂
Barocook have these for years. But i dont know if they usw the same minerals.
They don't work. There is no scientific evidence that they have any effect. I would say they are just scam.
The inventor does eat it at shows we have had for other products. Lava Gel has been fully vetted as food safe. It is used in our Thermal face mask directly on the skin. The Gel Matrix is actually a soil enhancement because it allows the soil to retain more moisture and the food grade minerals replenish the depleted minerals from the soil. Lava Gel is patented and is not the same as the Barocook.
@@LavaGelOven when you put it on your skin it will be burn your face. Or not? Or put it on when the heating time is over?
everything you don´t need
the best thing about this video was the last pan scraping thing 😂
I’m always impressed with what Outdoor Elements come up with
Very cool little gadgets. Thanks for watching.
That would be an awesom show to go to. So many sporting goods outlets, including Bass Pro, Cabelas, and Academy is about the extent of our source around here and most things are not on display. It would really be nice to put your hands on the gear.
Those guys weren't at this show unfortunately. At least not that I could see. Was fun to visit though.
Mu dog hates the wet chemical tick repellent. He walks away every time he sees me coming for him with one in my hand. I now use the tickless product for my dog. It is great! It also deters mosquitoes.
Thanks for sharing!
Love the GSI stuff. Great company.
Oh man if that GSI stove could also do propane it would be the ultimate. Still pretty slick though and tempting
Great video! I look forward to seeing a test of the ultrasonic tick repellent devices for humans and pets. IF it works, I am sold. Also, will the ultrasonic bother the pets at all... Also, the heat device that takes the sting out of bug bites,,,is very interesting! Let's test it when it comes out!
Need a Full usage review of the GSI selkirk collapsible butane stove please! How Low can you go on simmer without turning off the burner? I understand lack of usable flame control, especially for simmering, is a pretty big issue with many camp stoves.
The lava gel oven is genius. Can also see it for travel.
That camp stove that folded in on itself was cool. 24:30
Agreed
Lava gel oven is just that hot hands cra..p
Nomad bags look sick
I really like the last item..tge fold up burner. I also liked that gel pack cooker container.
A follow up on the Heat It product would be nice . ❤
I clicked on the cooler pack link. They haven't launched yet. Any idea when they are going to hit the shelves?
Don't waste your money on that. It's much better to have either small ice pack you can tuck between the food to save space. Or to have a large block of ice. And....much much cheaper. It'll also avoid you look like a fool at camp sits ;)
I believe they said they're gonna do a Kickstarter first. Check there.
Like the compact camp stove!
If you're interested, I'm 99% confident the LavaGel is what is known as a Phase Change Material, super fascinating stuff. This one seems optimized to quickly heat up to 212/100 and staying there as to cook, ofc
23:38 is the best
literally just a snowpeak home camp stove though
Can we get a link for that collapsible stove? Maybe it’s cheaper than the snow peak.
Great video!!!
20:23 Now that is interesting. Ordered one to see how well it works.
So far I've been impressed with mine.
I really, really, really want one of these collapsible GSI stoves to be propane ready!
03:18 I think I found my Ghostrike replacement. Wonder if that thing carries 12:00 scout and stays out the way.
Cool stuff
Interested to see if that Solokool actually works on low for 10 hours and on a side note, how do you vent it out because usually that part is hot air.
I don;t see the butane adapter listed in your description, or the GSI Outdoors butane stove that folded up so nicely. Does that just mean neither is available yet?
I couldn't find it online yet.
I like the outdoor-element stuff
lava gel sounds interesting, would need to see an in depth test
Agreed and noted, thanks for watching!
I have had the same bushknife and mostly all the same gear since about 1980. I see nothing in this"show" video that is even as good as my gear. With some bush , field, and, camp gear, there IS NO better mousetrap. Dont be fooled by things like a 500 dollar knife, thinking if it costs that much, it has to be great, better than cheaper ones. As far as knives, there are 3 best knives for you---1. The one that sharpens well. 2. The one that holds a good edge. And, 3. ( most important one)...the One you have with you. Safe Travels.
OMG!! These were ALL great!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice! Should have met up while we were both there!
Ya that would have been nice. I saw you there as they were closing the doors the first day, but you were engaged in conversation with folks and I didn't want to interrupt. Next time.
When does that GSI folding stove come out?? Great design!
That lava gel oven is amazing!
Conclusion: There is a lot of outdoor-gear out there, nobody ever needs!
You're not wrong.
Lava Gel has been out for many years in South Korea for camping and hiking products.
It is similar but not the same. The old technology was an uncontrolled chemical reaction, meaning all of the energy was released at the same time. Lava Gel tempers it so max temp is 205° F and it holds that for 10 minutes and then slowly falls off. The old tech would get to 300° F Plus and then die, so you use the residual heat from the water to heat food. Very inefficient compared to Lava gel. It is patented in almost every major GDP.
Yeah, the guy lied.
Great video, I'm used to watching NAMM convention videos. Glad to see someone shining some light on camping conventions.
Can you travel by plane with that lava gel ? 😮😊
Good question, not sure.
Thanks for the video 😊
My pleasure 😊
Can you tell me the name of this show/event? I wonder if they come out to the northeast
I really liked the Fuel Keg. I will be getting that so I'm not putting 1lb green bottles in the landfill.
Looks like a good one.
Get the Flame King, $35 not for one but 2! Cost about $1 to refill from your tank.
@@theoutdoorempiretoo expensive, Flame King is 2 for $35. I have them and use all the time.
10:00 thats just an MRE heater
I need that flextail headlamp. Does anyone know when they’re releasing that???
Not sure yet.
That was great!
I could use a full body exoskeleton
Can you move the camera back out a bit. It’s too close. Or zoom out. Thanks
Ya, my bad. I'm pretty novice at the camera stuff and I believe I just need a different lens for stuff like this. Thanks for struggling through with me!
Can everyday people attend these or only retailers?
I'm pretty sure retailers only
Not open to the public, but not retailers only. Media (like this fella) can get in.
This particular show is only open to industry folks like buyers for retailers, media, etc.
That has to be a fun time! I subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
The Armadillo Table looks incredible, need more info and price.
It's a lone British dude and I haven't been able to find any more info on it yet.
The heat insect bite thing looks pretty damn nifty
and it works
I use that from another brand with batteries.
Nifty is a good word for it. I like it.
the green propane cans can be refilled with an adapter that fits the larger grill tanks. No need to throw out anymore.
But....illegal most of the time, and certainly dangerous if not done with the proper industrial equipment.
Indeed a lot of folks do it. But apparently it's not a great idea since the green bottles were designed to be disposable. Some horror stories out there.
Chop sticks that’s what everyone wants in the bush. Lol lol
If you look at Adventure Archives for example, the guys use chopsticks every time basically.
Lava gel - aka, frameless retort heater.
Not quite the old technology was an uncontrolled chemical reaction, meaning all of the energy was released at the same time. Lava Gel tempers it so max temp is 205° F and it holds that for 10 minutes and then slowly falls off. The old tech would get to 300° F Plus and then die, so you use the residual heat from the water to heat food. Very inefficient compared to Lava gel.
Exoskeleton for going uphill - now I’ve seen it all 😅
That one still has me skeptical.
How do you power the thing when hiking?
Very interesting I like those knives. And the gsi stuff is very cool.
I want to try the legs. The peddle assist for without the bike.
Hope my boss doesn’t see them.
Ooo, interesting idea. I wonder how those would work on a bike.
That GSI campstove needs to be at 39 instead of 79 and will fly out the door!
While I love the inventions I get the feeling most stuff is just for people who would rather not leave their house or apartment :)
I have some of these things but different brands, they’ve been around for years and they’re less expensive. I car/tent camp only, too old to backpack but still doing it at 67. You just have to look for them, lots of people don’t want to do their own research and end up paying double the price for someone doing their homework. Example the refillable 1 lbs propane tanks Flame King 2 for $35 lol.
Yeah, pretty much uselss video. Unfortunately...
I've learned there are a lot of folks who can't get out as much as they'd like for various reasons, health, age, etc. Many like to watch these kinds of videos for entertainment purposes and that's okay by me. Others just like to see what's out there. Most never buy the stuff and that's just fine with me too. All are welcome. Cheers
transformers style stove and the lava stove both blew my brains out
Please reinsert your brains. 😂 But yes, they look cool.
The lava gel is like a Japanese heated meal. It’s not anything new. Cool to see tho
@@zachmarshall7921in germany they sell it for years from the brand Barocook. Maybe with other minerals.
Great selection of new toys. The camera focus issue let it down
Ya, my bad. I'm still pretty new at this and the camera part of it isn't my strong suit.
Quite some white label stuff there
Great video… gives a feel for what is up and coming. Some stuff ls pricey but some looked really awesome. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
The Teton self inflating pad was amazing
That Air conditioner at the end looks multi use, lol.
Kinda funny, but I can see it.
The lava gelllllllllll
Will be on temu in a out 5 minites at 99cents.😊😅😅
Haha. Not wrong.
Lava gel oven Review
Noted.
I will now cook my food with hand warmers 😂
Maybe I should just make gloves with hand warmers in them and market it as a "hand stove". 🤔
9:10 literally just hot hands. Salt and rust. 😅 mre heaters?
The lava flow the concept of heating up the food. It's not new, japan has had it for years, however the container for heating up food in the backcountry its new and interesting 👌
In Germany sell the brand Barocook that system for years.
It is similar but not the same. The old technology was an uncontrolled chemical reaction, meaning all of the energy was released at the same time. Lava Gel tempers it so max temp is 205° F and it holds that for 10 minutes and then slowly falls off. The old tech would get to 300° F Plus and then die, so you use the residual heat from the water to heat food. Very inefficient compared to Lava gel.
@@LavaGelOven why its inefficient? Is it not equal if is 205 for 10 minutes or 300 for 5-8? When the food is cooked its not interesting for me with what temperature.
Or didn’t i see an anything?
The Japanese chemical you mentioned in Barocook is calcium oxide, which has a pH of 12.5, which is considered a dangerous caustic. It also does not "gel" or contain the water, rather it creates a boiling slurry which is a potential chemical burn if spilled. It is also very inconsistent due to its nature, being "slaked quick lime," an ingredient in cement, mined from the earth, from various quarries, at various times of the year with different purities .These inconsistencies create problems in the heating cycle from lot to lot.
As to the temperature, food can only absorb heat at a certain rate; you could apply a blowtorch to the food, and it would still only get hot at the rate it can readily absorb the heat. Lava Gel has been designed to match the heat input curve of typical foods matching it's thermal "heat-sink" quotient. The energy output from Lava Gel will continue for up to 45 minutes to give you flexibility in your eating schedule.
Please feel free to use Barocook, but I encourage you to try the Lava Gel Oven side-by-side and give us your honest opinion. We appreciate your sincere interest!
