I just subscribed! After researching mats for the past year, found your exped review. I got one on a Black Friday sale so looking forward to next summer and sleeping without pain 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Hi Matt, such a nice video! This year I have been camping in the Netherlands the first time with my granchild Romy, three years old, my son and my wife. At 53,6 °F/12°C. Three days with amazing, unbelievable strongest raining. Fortunately we had Hilleberg-, Western Mountaineering- and Grüezibag-stuff on board. Romy have had the best time in live! Her first nature-adventure. ;-) Best regards from Cologne Stephan
@@mattsmountainmadness Welcome! The most important item has been a big tarp. Hilleberg Tarp 20 XP. ;-) If you have an email-acount, I could send you a video.
Great video Matt! Looks like you and your son had a great time! Beautiful area. Love the camping video format, very relaxing, was easy and fun to watch. Hopefully you get to get out more soon!
Ya, I didn't know what it would turn out like, but it was fun, viewers seem to enjoy it and I can't wait to do another one! Thanks for watching and commenting! Take care, Matt
@@mattsmountainmadness Awesome now i will go watch your Megalite and Mitylite videos you did a a couple of days ago becuse i was busy at work when you released them. Take care Matt.
Follow up: I'm ditching my MSR whisperlite in deep winter camping in favor of the classic Coleman burner and propane canister. How cold have you operated your Coleman and has it ever been so cold that its performance suffered?
@goyourownway9149 Multiple times at -10F for sure. I know that propane freezes at -44. The smaller 1lb bottles may start acting up before the larger 20, 30lb tanks. Walmart is now offering a refillable one pound cylinder that is less than the other brands on the market price wise. Cost and bulk are the downfalls of this stove. Reliability and convenience is first rate.
@Gingerwimbledon Occasionally. We only have black bears in Colorado. No grizzlies. You are fortunate to have neither. The big cats are busy hunting deer and I rarely see them.
I liked your imitation of the owls lol
@LadyWarbucks Embarrassing, but it had to be in there! Thanks for watching!
I have the 4 person version. Those tents are indestructible!
Every time I set mine up I think one of those black plastic pole clips is going to break but they never do.
@@mattsmountainmadness never will, I think one of the best " bad weather " tents ever constructed.
@@tomlorenzen4062 I concur. Hey thanks for watching and commenting! Take care, Matt
Time flies when you’re enjoying life ❤
@rlb209 That it does, but I'll take it! The alternative is a slog!
Thanks so much for watching, take care, Matt

Outstanding!
@@goyourownway9149 Thanks! I know that you have been waiting. More to come....
Good to see you out on your first camping adventure Matt, well on TH-cam anyways. Look forward to similar videos in the future when you get the time.
@@TunngaviksChannel More on the way for sure. Thanks for watching.
Looks like a great spot! I need to get out myself soon
You do. I tend to forget the good that it does to my soul.
Awesome video Matt. Looks like you guys hade a great time.
@PrepperTankar That we did my friend, that we did.
@@mattsmountainmadness Awesome now i will go watch your Megalite and Mitylite videos you did a a couple of days ago becuse i was busy at work when you released them. Take care Matt.
I don't know why, but the pizza roll bit had me laughing way more than it should have. Those things were mutilated!
It had us laughing too, that's why I included it in the video. Thanks for watching!

Looks an amazing place to camp, we've got some great forests here in the UK, luckily no bears to think about do you ever encounter any there?

I have the same exact tent I love it we use it multiple times a year I have had mine for almost 10 years now
If I was smart, I would buy it's replacement now while it is still available!
@mattsmountainmadness you know that's a great idea put it with all my preps
