This would be a much better review if you actually went through your daily use for this and all of the stuff that you actually carry. Nobody cares about a big jacket and some pens in the pockets. This is not what people are looking for in a review. You say that you use it to carry computer equipment and only show a camera stick come out of it. How big is your laptop? Show it in the bag! All of the info you provide can be found on the website. Appreciate your time putting the video together though.
I have the other version of this which I think is the flipside heating pad. I have a bedroll type sleeping bag and It slips in between the layers of it. Very cozy. This thing is a game changer for sleeping in the cooler weather, definitely worth the money.
I can’t seem to pull the bulb out even though I’ve squeezed the tabs. Shouldn’t gloves be worn so as to not touch the bulb adding oils to the glass part? That’s what I’ve been taught with bulbs.
Enjoyed your video and the information. Will it work on highways to get you to the "off road" trails, or do you use a more conventional guidance app like Google or Waze?
Great question! I use Waze to get me on the highway and then when I get close to the destination I’ll use onX to get offroad. Once I’m in the dirt I only use onX
@@EventheWavesYT seems like hobie contracted irocker to make their isups for them so the recon is equivalent to the black fin xl also nice to be on sale at 399 right now
How do you replace the water separator hose?? Mine popped off twice spilling a great deal of diesel in the process. Looking for some help on replacing this part. Thanks
The clip was attached and the hose came off regardless. I am carrying a medium sized load and hauling a car with a tow dolly. Figured this would increase the fuel pressure and it seemed to cause the e clip to fail, this the hose came off twice. How can I replace the water separator hose??@@EventheWavesYT
The water separator hose is coming off at the connector with the e clip that connects to the built in sensor on the fuel filter (nipple attachment with the o ring). Bought a new fuel filter and a new water separator hose to fix the issue. Any ideas of what might have caused the issue?
Sometimes it seems as though the water separator hose is all the way on, but it really needs to be pushed hard to get all the way on. It has to go past the gasket and then the e-clip will work. I did that one time where I thought it was pressed on all the way and it wasn’t.
Imma be honest with you, if every youtube video was as straight to the point as this, I would know a lot more things. Watched this via the lil previous Google gives you and I felt compelled to enter youtube to give this a like and comment. Thank you lol
So stoked you found value in it and I appreciate the comment. It helps RU-vidrs more than you know, so that we can provide better quality videos to help more people! Thanks again for the kind words 🤙🏼
@@EventheWavesYTa lot of people get them confused or say I will get a sawyer. lol can’t put a price on my safety money well spent and the titanium version on sale today on Amazon for 129 instead of 200
@howlinhauler If you had a significant dent it would probably not work as well as it should. It requires the gasket to seal to force water through the filter. I have some debts in the base and it is unaffected though.
Don’t choose the Cliq chair! I have 2 of them. They both have had the seams tear on the canopies and Cliq will not stand behind their lifetime warranty. They claim the canopy is a wear part and not covered by the warranty. So it will cost $39.99ea for a replacement. Im already on my second set of replacements. Having had them only 4 years, the high cost of ownership is ridiculous.
Great review. I just picked one of these Squids today. I had fun playing with the smaller version, and it was fun too, but like you said, this one was a good length, end to end, and just felt right in my hand.
So glad you found it valuable! I always welcome feedback! Yeah the squid XM is still my daily driver! I just got a James Brand “The Carter Pocket Knife” so I’m testing that out now.
Wanted to seriously thank you for how much time, money, and headache you saved me. I watched this video twice while I was waiting on my part, then I got in there and made it happen in less than 30 minutes and my AC is fixed. Thanks brotha!
lol the best thing happening in the outdoor community right now is we have learned to pick on each other and have fun and not get offended and realize we all have our own way of doing things that make us happy now if we can just get the rest of the world on board lol
Totally! If you wanted you could buy 2 crappy hats for the price of one. I would rather pay a little bit more for one hat that I will have for a year or more! 🤙🏼
@@EventheWavesYT Shopping from the website, shipping puts it a lil out of my range. Fortunately, my local surf shop was stocked up on a bunch of Melins. I picked up a black/gum Odyssey, and a rope bull Odyssey. Stoked
It's a shame nobody shows where one has to climb the ladder and get off and onto the roof. That very important transitional move from ladder to roof is edited out on all the videos I've been researching for the past hour😭
It’s probably cause it’s very difficult to film by your self on a 9ft van! In my short titled we did Christmas lights a little different this year you will see where I step on the edge of the van. It’s the same when I get off the ladder in this video :) hope it helps
@@EventheWavesYT Yeah but in that short you are not using the installed van ladder - you are using a regular one. Anyway, thanks for trying to help I appreciate it. P.S. Your van is beautiful
@@EventheWavesYT I just found your channel I'm busy checking everything out. Avid outdoorsman Kentucky guy here who hike alone with his dog. Man we need people like you in this area
Thanks for the review. It’s a shame some people focus on nitpicking instead of appreciating the creative endeavors. Keep it going my man. I was thinking of getting this chair for the quick set up. But then I saw your fast rewind on that part haha. I know it could be easier than some other backpacking chair, but that does not compensate the weight for me I guess.
I'm sure the Amazon blower motor was just fine, the blower wheel got pushed down to the blower housing during shipping. All you had to do was pull the blower wheel off of the housing since it's on a shaft and not fixed permanently in your issue would have been solved
@@EventheWavesYT I pulled my blower, tired of being hot and all mine needed was a little WD-40. It was hard to turn like yours but a little WD-40 did the trick. I didn't even want to buy a $40 Amazon blower motor.
