We play outside. We hike, backpack, camp, you name it, and show other outdoorists how to do the same (more sustainably and responsibly) via how-to's, gear reviews, destination guides and more.
thank you, this was one of the rare videos of comparing stoves without promoting canister ones excessively. I'm yet to purchase my first backpacking stove yet and canister ones just don't seem that attractive. Just coming back from aliexpress (not the best gear source, I know) and saw a small foldable woodburner one there with an insert to use with alcohol burner. Seemed like a great idea as you have 2 fuel options in 1. And alcohol can be used as a firestarter for wood as well.
I was just curious what bottle you are using with your water filter? I didn't see it in the lists and I couldn't quite catch what you called it in the video
@ 9:55, It’s not for everyone, but getting straight-up tea-bagged by the mesh sack that dangles right above your head looks like a fun way to spend a weekend.
Seems biased here. The black hole being able to pack itself is a good thing because that helps with space when not in use. Why even mention the extra 2 pockets that don't secure anything except the backpack straps, and no way you'd want to use those pockets for other things because those pockets don't completely close. I have a gregory. I prefer using the side pocket for dirty clothes instead of the bottom from the allpa which would easily make the bag look deformed if items aren't evenly distributed and flat. Not really an issue since those compartments aren't usually enough to hold all used clothes. So having a dirty clothes bag is better. But no way I'd want to put shoes in the bottom compartment of the allpa. It would smash my shoes and maybe make it lose its shape.
My most expensive poles are a pair of $160 Leki Sherpas. Best poles I've ever owned for tough climbs, but definitely not what you want for a casual stroll through the forest. I call them my 4-Low poles. You don't have to cheat yourself if you're on a budget, though. There's no shortage of used high end trekking poles on eBay and you can often get them cheap. You just have to check daily and be ready to buy right then when you see a deal. Not too long ago I saw a nice looking pair of Leki Makulu poles with a $35 buy price and they lasted just about as long as you'd have expected them to before somebody snatched them up, which was like half an hour.
I have noticed that the folding yaks are preferred by women. Probably because it requires no work compared and its lighter. Amazon has a 14ft full drop stitch yak thats super staband fast. Its called the bonnlo and its 500$. Can not beat it.
Two way different size burners on those, the larger one is better suited for larger pots and of course the smaller one is better suited for like a canteen cup size pot.
@@Terradrift I watched your video, I also have used multiple types of these stoves, the larger burner is in fact for larger pots, the smaller one may have a massive flame but it's wasted when used on larger pots, you get a bad hotspot from it. I have warped titanium before because I didn't realize this fact. The longer you use them the more you will know😁
So this thing will not just go on its own like proper E bikes? the videos seem to show that you must still bike and thins thing just gives it a boost and makes biking easier ?
Today we take a look at teo ultralight backpacking stoves: the MSR PocketRocket Deluxe ( alnk.to/btnA8QT ) vs the BRS 3000T ( alnk.to/8PEdqCO ). How efficient are they and is the Pocket Rocket worth the extra weight? *affiliate links
I’m a yeti fan I’ve seen the ice retention, love it as a seat, stool and cooler. Plus there’s tons of accessories, yes they aren’t included but you can get things as your needs arise. One thing I def do not like is rovers tires. I’d rather yetis never flats. Yeti is what I have and love but props on rover for their dry bin.
Could the female (? - the one starting with the GG pack) be more off-putting? A review is meant to be about the gear, NOT the person reviewing it. Get off stage, stop mugging for the camera, and start focusing on the qualities of the pack.
I have the 40L REI Trail, used it in Canada and absolutely loved it! I was in the market for a daypack and was stuck between the REI 25L trail and the Osprey Daylite plus which is a 20L. I went with the Osprey simply because I wanted to try something new and also the deciding factor for me was that it has an opening pocket in the back of the Osprey and it was $25 cheaper. Had the 25 trail had that just like its bigger brother the 40L I would’ve bought the 25L. I hate that I had to buy a rain cover for the Osprey since the Trail 25 comes with one. Especially for the price.
