  • @thecaptain6994
    @thecaptain6994 Před rokem

    I always thought you were supposed to turn sideways to the current rather than face the current since (theoretically) it lessens the force of the current trying to sweep you off your feet. Have I been doing it wrong all these years? Also, wouldn’t you want the hiking staff downstream from your feet in order to apply more pressure to hold it in place? Thanks for any clarification you can provide!

    if u are naked under blankets or a bag your body is a much dryer and a more efficient furnace. This article is making assumptions and turning them into science or common sense or something but it is missing the important facts .The volume of air trapped in the space you are sleeping in gets heated better from the heat source( your body ) and stays at a higher temp if the source is not wrapped up and sweating in clothes . As long as the sleeping bag is adequate to hold the Dry larger volume of heat made. also the body is free to move and increase blood flow ( circulation).

    My Renegades are getting worn at exactly one spot, the outer side of both heels. The first layer is worn out and a softer layer underneath is exposed. Can I do anything to repair that? If not, how long do you think I have before the sole falls apart? I've had them for 4 years and it feels like they should last longer than that.

    I bought I new one and kept it in a polythene bag for one year and when I opened it, the whole of the midsole was damaged. why ? the midsoles are made with polypropelene material which needs a constant air supply otherwise it will be damaged. Now i have a damaged 340$ shoes and there is nobody in India that does the repairing of these :( so be careful with your expensive boots!

    I understand this is an old post but details are important in future videos? "Super briethable"? Cold you quantify that in cfm airflow? "Super Breathable" by one defination might be 40 cfm. Neoshell could be around .1 cfm for just the membrane. The other factor is the shell material, how "breathable" is that? Each garment must be tested to get one in the ballpark for choosing it.

    Old video now, but I have a couple more tips to share. In cold weather eat fatty food, not just freeze dried stuff. Pine nuts are good for the trail. Digesting oils produces a lot of extra heat. Also, the thighs lose a lot of heat overnight, so wear warm leggings or put your legs into the sleeves of a jumper. Makes a huge difference. You can make thigh warmers from the sleeves of an old fleece, use mitten clips to attach them to your underwear or trouser waistband and you can use them under your trousers during the day too.

    Lowa boots out of the box are the best . The quality has got a little suspect the last few years . And yeah I can’t figure out for the life of me why the price keeps going up dramatically ,versus just in increments with the normal slow inflation. And the customer service on the phone is horrible , I spoke to a woman customer service rep on the phone once .and she could not give a flying shit about my shoes fall apart a little bit in the toe . I literally switch boots for the next few years because of that one conversation with her .but I had to come back because the Boot still is better than alllllllllllll the rest. But that phone call still bugs me till this day.

    It seems this system of fleece liners and that deal that goes over the outside of the bag would be a hassle to crawl into and then I'm thinking if you have to exit very quickly that it would tangle around the feel. I use a 3 piece military bag. It's a little heavy but it's worth its weight in gold.
