Awesome!! You should talk him into going backpacking with us!

@BackpackingandBlisters 9 месяцев назад

Yeah! He's a great dude.

I am a hammocker who loves the details... of which hammocking has a lot, if I had to buy a tent, it would be the X-mid Pro 2 for sure.

@BackpackingandBlisters 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for checking this episode out....even though you're a hammocker!

tnprime here, I was joking in that 5 star review :) I was talking about the Skippity Doodoo and The Pack Key Fob "beepbeep", Waxinator, Talon Teeth inserts, Gas Gum, Garmin outofReach...

@BackpackingandBlisters 8 месяцев назад

Yeah...so...we realized this after the fact. :) Sorry about that. We'll circle back to this on a future episode and own our embarrassing mistake here. In retrospect that review was hilarious. Thank you so much for taking the time! If you email me your address I'll send you a package from our random gear box!

@oldunion 8 месяцев назад

Ok,@@BackpackingandBlisters I sent you an email, just no live animals or used wag bags. :)

@BACKPACKERish 9 месяцев назад

Love these tents! I was lucky enough to get one from the second batch that came out of drop before the rest of the world figured out how good they were.

@BackpackingandBlisters 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for checking this one out Backperish! Glad you like yours! I'm excited to try one out one day.

These tent costs are ridiculous. We have a 14p and a 2p. I was looking to replace our 14p and downgrade to a 8p because our girls have left the house and if they do come along they are okay with a smaller tent. I looked at prices. They are just as expensive as a premium 4p from 2012. Currently we own a Eureka 2p. Love that tent. The 14p was a Sears Kmart brand that had premium features before Kmart and Sears started selling junk gear.

@BackpackingandBlisters 6 месяцев назад

Yeah, I agree. That's why I asked him the question. I personally don't have the budget for these but I find the tent market fascinating.

@SrslyJonSweet 9 месяцев назад

I hate ketchup, but have loved ketchup chips the couple times I’ve tried. And I formed that opinion before Dan gave it to me.

@BackpackingandBlisters 9 месяцев назад

Really? Obviously we don't know what we're talking about because they keep selling them. But we're still surprised they're out there.

@PierreFarrugia 9 месяцев назад

Very interesting host 👍. Could it be canadians go solo, as there is so few crazy people to camp -20-40’C 😅

@BackpackingandBlisters 9 месяцев назад

You figured it out!!! :)

@stevewright2241 9 месяцев назад

Hey! Hey! How come no one is talking about this? The iPhone 15 is titanium. How much lighter is it when compared to a previous version of the iPhone and should ultralight wankers be geeking out over this?

@BackpackingandBlisters 9 месяцев назад

Good call om this. We need to compare phone weights on an upcoming episode. If you can shave an ounce by upgrading your phone by spending $1000, it's probably worth it. :)

@durstongear 9 месяцев назад

Yup. I upgraded immediately but the holy grail would be the mini version in Ti.

@stevewright2241 8 месяцев назад

I googled it. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is 7.81 oz. My iPhone 12 Pro Max 8.03 oz. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is 8.47 oz. So the Titanium hype is really about saving a 1/2 an ounce of weight. Not worth it. Get if you like the camera.

@@stevewright2241 :) I agree. Interesting stats though. Thanks for sharing these!
