    Really appreciate and admire the fact that you have taken the time and effort to positively support a company who makes a quality product and stands behind their warranty. We need more people like you doing this and less people doing reviews just to get free stuff😎

    Wow.. Yes.. I've missed you and the video's.. Nice to see you.. That's a great company. Happy you got a replacement. Yup.. looking forward to the next one.. If it's a bit loose.. Use a shoelace through the brim and tie it on or throw it in the washer and sun dry it.

    @markphinney3152 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Great to see you back! I'm a bit surprised you've gone with such a dark hat in the AZ sun. Most Tilleys I see are a light beige colour... is your preferred style not available in a lighter shade?

    • @affordabledesertliving3487
      @affordabledesertliving3487  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi Mark. I actually have the light colored one for sure. This hat doubles as a birding hat and my theory is that birds are not as alerted to the darker color. Not quite Phinney camo though LOL. Great to hear from you! Oh by the way fantastic and amazing best views ever of Green Kingfisher a couple weeks ago.

    Don, I have a Tilley hat just like your old one. I’ve used it a ton for golfing but since moving off grid have been trying to “save” it by using another hat. I have destroyed that hat and was considering biting the bullet and switching to my nicer Tilley. After seeing your video you have convinced me to use it. They are great hats. Hope all is well and look forward to your upcoming videos.

  • @sagebrushbob2321
    @sagebrushbob2321 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Mine has ben left out in a snowbank for months, rained on, run over on a muddy track, snagged on tree limbs and played with by toddlers and dogs. it's still intact and in good health. I think Tilly believes in their product so much that they will gladly repair or replace your hat for free.

    Hi Don, it was great to bump into you in Green Valley last month over a beer. As we sat talking I kept thinking that we had met before,
    but could not make the mental connection. Finally - after an extended conversation about birding - you mentioned being a TH-camr, and it dawned on me that I had seen one of your videos about birding and herping with one of your friends. Anyway… your tip about checking Montosa Canyon for my target birds Five-striped Sparrow and Varied Bunting payed off. I found the canyon and the spot late that afternoon with no luck - it was just too late. I returned early the following morning and dang if I didn’t see and photograph both of my targets! Thanks for the tip, and keep rocking that Tilley!

    • @affordabledesertliving3487
      @affordabledesertliving3487  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Ron: Wow that is simply amazing that you had watched the birding adventure with Scott a few years ago and yet we were chatting in real time in Green Valley. So delighted you persevered and went back to Montosa Canyon. Its definitely a great place. I think it must be one of the top places in the country to see Varied Bunting and definitely for Five-striped Sparrow! Way to go!

      @WindwalkerHomestead 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@affordabledesertliving3487 mine just recommended one with a brim that wraps all the way around and solid fabric, so no mesh to let the sunlight through like in straw hats, but I might make a call to be sure
