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.
"LAVA GEL" lol dude shined up and added some fancy lingo to age old military technology for MRE's and people in the comments are calling him a genius. GOOD LORD HELP US!! 🤣🤣🤣
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.
@@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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
@@wilcoxtactical3716 Separating the salt allows for a much longer shelf life and more consistency. It also makes it more idiot proof as we saw with other products people struggle to measure the correct amount of water when using our products.
Not quite, no toxic residue or leftover water. 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 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).
❤ My favourite was the orange collapsible single-burner stove near the end of the video (23:28), followed by the refillable propane tanks (18:45). Now if there were a way to merge those 2 products by replacing the GSIs single-use iso canister with the FUEL KEG propane tank, I would buy them in a minute!
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! 🤗
Great video review, i must compliment you on long hours and not laughing outloud on the A/C cooler slash jacket. Thumbs up on being professional 👍🏻👍🏻 Though i cant find the review or link for the GSI crossover sink clean up set. A link or direction would be awesome 😎
Much appreciated! That cooler vest was a real hoot. Some of that GSI stuff won't be out until next year so that's probably why I couldn't find a link yet.
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.
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.
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.
@@FOXMAN09 Thank you for your interest. As a rule, one application is sufficient to achieve relief. However, this also depends on the chosen treatment setting, the skin area and personal sensation. The skin is very individual from person to person. Some also decide to treat twice at a lower temperature (instead of once at the maximum setting). In the case of particularly severe insect bites, it may also be necessary to re-treat the next day. Best regards, Team heat it☺
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.
That butane to isobutane adapter that GSI has is pretty neat, id definitely like to check that out more. I have a Coleman butane stove that i hardly use anymore and wouldn't mind putting the butane canisters i have to use.
@@1bowmaniam??? I live in NYC, upstate NY has far to many trekking parks where a fire is prohibited. Lava gel oven can seriously opens up opportunities to enjoy a nice hot meal rather than a packed cold ham sandwich where fires are prohibited. Let’s not diminish the fact you can eat the packets 😂 I may buy one.
i camp solo a lot and I am always looking for a better sleeping setup. I would like to find a hammock with bug net and rainfly that can also is purpose build as a bivy on the ground should there not be trees. Is this something that is out there, or am i overthinking it?
I don't know of anything off hand. It might be that those are both niche products used generally by different folks. Maybe just not enough interest to make it.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 like budget friendly, or if expensive it must be tech/ light or very innovative (multi cards don’t meet the criteria) Hey!!! I got my Scout Feather in the post last week! It’s like a larger and more functional Folts CRKT, I can personally recommend it as a handy camp knife, fire starter….the spine has a great 90’ grind, my bedding can attest to the big fire starting sparks it produces…….
Hello! While this could be a long shot I'm looking for some advice. Over the years I've collected some good secondhand sleep system gear. However, I'm seeking advice on updating my tent (which is too small to fit my pack and sleep system inside) and sleeping bag (which is only suited for the Australian summer). I want to invest in good-quality equipment that will last but, don't have an unlimited budget and need to consider exchange rates and weight. Recognising the above, can you recommend me some tents and a sleeping bag that can do both the Australian summer and winter (86-40F). Appreciate your time.
thanks for sharing. I love that GSI collapsible butane stove. Had my eye on a closeout stove but it, well, takes up a lot more space XD I love the idea behind those Fuel Kegs (I saw one at a store tonight even) but for myself, I don't have room for one of those huge backyard grill-sized propane canisters to refill it with. I like the idea behind the Lava Gel oven but someone on Amazon said theirs warped on the first use >_> The Barocook oven exists, too; both of these, the heating elements are way too expensive imo. Both products feel like printer companies lol. The money is in the refills :D
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.
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!
There are some similar in Amazon, I’ve been using them for years and they’re much more inexpensive than these. You can drink the water afterwards and mine can be refilled with ice from the store too, think about how you’d freeze again without a freezer if you’re camping for a week +. Mine once they melt, drink the cold water, go get ice and fill, no more water in the cooler making a mess.
After a quick search i see small mouth packs and chemical refilled ones.. could i please have a product name to search for.. very interested in these@@carmenmartinez2882
Thank you for reviewing the Lava Gel Oven! We have had so many sales on Amazon we ran out of inventory for Prime. Sending more and should be back on prime soon.
*You did NOT invented that principle of cooking.* It's been used by many military forces all over the world (without the container), and known under "flameless heater pouches". In the outdoor industry, the principle is known as "Flameless cooker". And this, since many, many years now. It is branded under multiple names (BaroCook, Trekmate, Hotone, Plume Grove, Hydro Heater, etc. And, btw, "Lava Gel" is being sold in South Korea for many years. No wonder why no major retailer has YOUR product on their shelves and why you only sale on Amazon....
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.
Never seen anyone use these garage door panels in so many different ways . Thinking you should make a green house using them to keep the cold out. So you can grow food longer into the cold months I have one and have been thinking this would be a great way to insulate the house from the cold ground
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....
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.
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
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.
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

$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
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 hotdog gear seems awesome for ultra-light camping lol
Hahaha. First thing I put in my pack.
If you're going ultra light, I doubt you should prioritize what you can achieve with just a little bit of attention and a light hand movement^^
@@nerdhector6190 😂 Exactly what I was thinking.
Here in Germany we use the Heat it already for a few years. I highly recommed it.
Was a bit confused that bite away is not a thing in US.
Good to know!
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!
Those Nomad sleeping bangs are really comfy. I have them too. They feel like you're under a cotton blanket.

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 vid. Thanks for brining us in!
03:18 I think I found my Ghostrike replacement. Wonder if that thing carries 12:00 scout and stays out the way.
Cool stuff
I've been searching forever for a single bevel chisel knife but all I could ever find was double bevel...

Good stuff.
Great reviews! My guess is the big new item for camping and backpacking is going to be the Starlink Mini. 😆
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.
9:28 It's an MRE Heater bag.....
I thought the same thing.
They've reinvented the wheel!
@@remyllebeau77And made it heavier and more complicated. The MRE heater could use any water not a special salt water.

Interesting point and good idea.
i really think the turning sausages thing is a good idea because they get an even spread of heat/crust and it enhances your food
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.
Wow! I Ioved that cool stove in the orange case. I want one!
Thanks for your content. I'd love to hear more about the Teton Hacienda 8 person tent.

That lava gel oven is amazing!
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!
I would love to see those ice packs up against your ice chest test.
There are some similar in Amazon, I’ve been using them for years and they’re much more inexpensive than these. You can drink the water afterwards and mine can be refilled with ice from the store too, think about how you’d freeze again without a freezer if you’re camping for a week +. Mine once they melt, drink the cold water, go get ice and fill, no more water in the cooler making a mess.
I like that idea a lot. Thanks.
After a quick search i see small mouth packs and chemical refilled ones.. could i please have a product name to search for.. very interested in these@@carmenmartinez2882
Thank you for reviewing the Lava Gel Oven! We have had so many sales on Amazon we ran out of inventory for Prime. Sending more and should be back on prime soon.
That's a great problem to have! Hopefully we sent some of those shoppers your way. Cheers.
*You did NOT invented that principle of cooking.* It's been used by many military forces all over the world (without the container), and known under "flameless heater pouches". In the outdoor industry, the principle is known as "Flameless cooker". And this, since many, many years now. It is branded under multiple names (BaroCook, Trekmate, Hotone, Plume Grove, Hydro Heater, etc. And, btw, "Lava Gel" is being sold in South Korea for many years. No wonder why no major retailer has YOUR product on their shelves and why you only sale on Amazon....
20:23 Now that is interesting. Ordered one to see how well it works.
So far I've been impressed with mine.
Loved the video. Thank u.
There is also certain gasstations you can get 20 Lbs of ice for $1
Wow really? Where?
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.
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.
Where to find the GSI gas stove?
They were showing that as a product to be released in 2025. I haven't seen it for sale anywhere yet.
Lavageloven salesman: This bad boy is Sustainable! *opens thick plastic bag with a sip of water inside*😂😂😂
Never seen anyone use these garage door panels in so many different ways . Thinking you should make a green house using them to keep the cold out. So you can grow food longer into the cold months I have one and have been thinking this would be a great way to insulate the house from the cold ground
6:10 thats so clever and well made
Great video, I'm used to watching NAMM convention videos. Glad to see someone shining some light on camping conventions.
The lava gel was super interesting
I like that omni utensil. Gonna check into that.
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'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....
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.
That was great!
Like the compact camp stove!
Have you made a review about the latest sleeping pads?
No, not yet. Are you interested in the more backpacking style air mattresses or the thick comfy car camping pads?
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
Can you tell me the name of this show/event? I wonder if they come out to the northeast
That camp stove that folded in on itself was cool. 24:30
Agreed
Oh man if that GSI stove could also do propane it would be the ultimate. Still pretty slick though and tempting
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.
I really, really, really want one of these collapsible GSI stoves to be propane ready!
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
