I want the Gregory Focal so bad but I can't find it available online anywhere in Canada. Justin, I've been wondering why you don't review MEC products seeing as you're in Canada? I know it's not helpful to American viewers, but would love to see it as someone in Canada. I feel like the price on the MEC Talon -18 down sleeping bag is unmatched, I got one 40% off so $360 CAD for an 800 fill down sleeping bag is amazing! Comparables from other companies are in the $700-$1000 range. MEC deluxe pillow is great too. And I'd love to see you review the MEC Ohm, Volt and Spark tents.

@JustinOutdoors 6 месяцев назад

@tfrtrouble 6 месяцев назад

I don't understand the appeal of inner-first tents. They seem to be the norm in the US but these things are such an almighty pain in the butt to pitch or take down in heavy rain. With outer first, it's so convenient: get the outer up, put your rucksack inside and go in and unfold the inner in the dry. Same to break camp: take down the inner and roll it up and pack everything inside in the dry, and then just quickly take down the wet outer and poles at the end.

Thank you, Justin for your extensive best gear awards review for 2023! I didn't know about the Exped MegaPillow and will have to check it out! The NEMO Dragonfly 2P is an awesome tent! My husband and I have been wondering about getting trail runners but there are SO many choices! You made it easy with the Hoka Speedgoat 5 shoes which we have been considering! I also like the idea of the Russbe bags to put our food in! You get the best award for this indepth comparison!

Nice video! Just switched to the feathered friends hybrid quilt…amazing. Went from Nemo Riff 15 bag, to UGC Quilt, to this and it’s the best of both worlds, super light, blah, blah, blah. lol.

@worstuserever 6 месяцев назад

I already had the Flextail Tiny X and recently bought the X2 for the inline coupling, which I think is a more robust design and mates more positively with adaptors than the little lateral nozzle on earlier models. I originally thought the built-in light wouldn't be of use with my existing lamp gear, but it's so handy the pump also became my main camp lantern.

@GarGri 2 месяца назад

I’d disagree with all your choices. You need to define “best”. The Helinox chair is the best but the one you choose is a cheap knockoff alternative. So much of what you choose is just your opinion. There’s a world of better options available.

@WoodenFloorsRock 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video, can you do a similar video for budget options?

@Lousysuperior 6 месяцев назад

I will say, although the half dome 3+ is a really great tent, the hubba hubba 3 is just as big, and definitely way lighter. Now it’s also almost $300 more and that’s not lost on me. So not necessarily comparable as far as price goes, but the weight is considerably better.

@Swearengen1980 6 месяцев назад

Not sure there is a best channel, they all hock different stuff with their paid affiliate links. You think it's a coincidence that so many of his products that won best awards here are all REI? I think if you want the truly best options, you have to pick pieces from each of them based on your needs, not just blindly follow one. For example, I'd take Zenbivy quilt all day over the ones here. I think both his pillow options suck and prefer REI's compressible pillow. Another example, he shows a $1,000 watch and then he gets to the chair and chooses an REI chair while mentioning budget restraints that's not as good as the Helinox Zero at $80 more. Can't say I find this guy all that genuine.

@tomlovesdiy 6 месяцев назад

REI Flash packs are Great! You seem to be the only RU-vidr who appreciates them I have (non-adjustable torso) 55L and 45L; both discontinued. Just bought an REI Magma 30F quilt. Looks really nice. I like the semi-rectangular shape. It won't tangled up onmy feet if I turn over. My first true quilt. Haven't used it on trail. I also have the Trekology pillow. I supplement it with a small DIY down/feather pillow. Adds comfort and a surprising amount of warmth. Short videoon my channel, Tom Loves DIY. Garmin watches are SO expensive. I can't justify the $. Have an Amazfit GTS 2 wich is VG for basic smart/sports watch. At least 4 days battery life. Great channel. Keep themcoming.

I have to admit that down or even down-wool is really more comfortable but... the next morning they always tell me: I hope I can get it dry till the next evening because otherwise I gonna freeze. My answer then is always: I got my wet socks with me in my synthetic sleeping bag the night to get them dry (and it works). Even not worrying about humidity. Down is nice but I need stuff I can rely to. I better carry some more weight to sleep well and dry without freezing

The Nitecore charges at 18 watts meaning if you are hiking for a couple weeks you are stuck doing longer in-town recharging for hours on end or charging over night. My personal Anker battery charges at 60 watts so I can hang out in a park or a restaurant or something for just an hour and then be back on the trail with a good 50-60 watthours of juice.

I bet you speak with an accent. Give me a Canadian one over some others any day.

@FranklinHicks-qs4gs Месяц назад

@@BrokenBackMountains an accent is fine. Saying words wrong is not. Bag Beg Two different words with vastly different meanings.

@@FranklinHicks-qs4gs You don't seem to understand accents and different forms of English. Is English your native tongue?

Give it a rest. Let us hear your pronunciation of words. I guess English isn't your native language.

I wouldn't take any of this modern fad gear into the wild hiking. If it works for you great but I like stuff from 100 years ago, as stuff from 100 years ago still works now. Non of this thin lightweight kit will last hard use. Its leather wool canvas and steel for me from now on.

Why not 1000 years ago?

lightweight stuff does wear out and break down quicker. My built-to-last ARMY gear loadout was about 30-40lbs (no food/water) and my "fad gear" weighs about 14lbs. My ARMY "shelter half" (half of a tent) alone weighed about 10lbs and you had to find another soldier to complete the full tent lol.

I going to say it, and get shot down.... but these camping sites never aim at the beginner. $200 for a sleeping bag, and more for other products. Anyone with common sense at beginning level would go for cheaper to see if this is for them. But get put off buy these site. Why can't someone do a beginners pack. Thoughts am I wrong???

So you're looking for the best budget list of 2023... not best. Best is the best cost aside notice. Decathlon had a product on the list doesn't get much cheaper. These videos exist you just need to search correctly
