Hey, here’s the link: alnk.to/dAmWkDf Thanks for watching!

There is WiFi available, it’s located in Long Beach, WA, so cell service as well. It’s on wheels and hooked up to both electricity and water/sewer via septic systems. Thanks for watching.

Hey, thanks! I’ve setup and tried the helinox briefly, but would like to try one long term to see how it compares. Think I’ll have to do this, thanks for the suggestion and watching!

Nice, I’ve been wanted to try the Tent Suites out there, seems so convenient! I love the storage that is created from using cots. Thanks for watching!

Yeah definitely not the cheapest or lightest cot but the materials and build quality are top notch as it should be at this price point. And I agree, leg protectors should be included. Thanks for watching!

Would love to see the high tension cot in a wide! Thank you for your comment and watching!

Hey, thank you for your feedback! I have tested most of the mainstream cots out and feel the Snow Peak is the nicest all around. However, the height off the floor and pack size are two areas I wish I touched more on in this video. Again I really appreciate you taking the time to comment, it helps me create better reviews, which is a goal I am continuously working towards! Thanks for watching!

These were my first camping chairs and still my favorites! Thank you for watching!

Yeah those legs make the whole cot feel very stable! Thank you for watching!

Same here, for me it's a perfect cot all around especially with a mat on top! Thank you for watching!

Oh didn't know the Festival had a Zippered bag, not sure why they don't just include that one right now, as it would be a much nicer user experience! I agree though, it's a little big to always bring along, but a lot of cots I've seen other than Helinox are slightly shorter but heavy with cheap plastic/steel components. Thank you for watching!

I love the design of it, very minimalistic yet durable all around! Price is steep, so I'd try to catch this one during a sale. Thank you for watching!

Yeah, definitely pack size is large and can be hard to fit. Helinox does such a great job at designing compact but functional gear! Thank you for watching!

Yeah definitely understand, I'm all about quicker setups especially when I'm bringing the whole family! Thank you for watching!

Hey, thank you so much! I’m using Pendleton queen size blankets. They are the National parks and Yakima Camp series! Thanks for watching and I appreciate your support!

Thank you!

Hey, yes definitely the 4 unit, especially for the stoves you’re considering. The Double burner is a great choice and the included wind screen will be beneficial on the road as weather may be unpredictable. Each of the stoves you mentioned integrate perfectly with the IGT and will give lots of versatility cooking wise. I haven’t converted mine to propane, but if you reach out to @encyphered he would be a great resource. I hope you have a great trip, it sounds like you’ll be having an awesome camp setup for the drive up! Also, not sure if you’re already part of the snowpeak addicts facebook community, but that’s also a great place to chat with others on the gear!

Hey, thank you for bringing up this question, definitely an important topic and too often neglected by many campers. The best thing you can do to avoid an encounter is to keep a clean campsite free of trash and any food, especially if you plan on leaving your site for a hike or to bed. We keep our trash stored in a Husky waterproof bin away from the tent, but while we are cooking, we use a smaller dry bag style Sea to Summit brand trash bag and dispose of it when full in the Husky Bin. Try to avoid anything scented inside your tent even toothpaste, lotions etc. can be a problem with mice. At night, we lock up our cooler and dry food bin in our vehicle. In the daytime while you are present, it would be pretty rare for an encounter, but it's not a bad idea if you know your in area with these animals to have bear spray or similar. Personally, I don't bring any bear spray, but I do keep my car keys close at hand and if a bear were to enter my site, I would just press the panic button alarm, which should scare it off. Essentially, properly storing food/trash and scented items away from your tent when you're asleep or away is key to prevent an encounter. Hope this helps and thanks again for bringing this up!

@@rtmadani thank you for responding! i feel a bit more confident now thanks to your advice. have a good day/night!

I’d say it all depends on how long you’re at camp and also how much you plan to bring food & drink wise. Without a doubt, for overnight trips the Oyster is very convenient for how small and lightweight it is. Yeti is great as well and while it’s more durable, it’s much heavier/bulkier. The Dometic has been great and our CFX 25 can last a 2 night trip on the Dometic battery. Since I’ve been doing more overnight camping the oyster has been the most convenient.

Hey, it's the Clay V600 Fan.

The shelters are definitely not cheap, but offer a lot of versatility for camping. If you’re looking to build out a camping setup for your family, I’d be happy to help go over other options. Let me know if I can help!

They did a great job designing the Fubi, I think it's just the right size with lots of options for configuring it. Definitely tough to decide with all the Snow Peak tent offerings, let me know if you have any questions on any of the other tents you're considering, happy to help!

Hey, while I'm pretty confident the Fubi could handle some of those conditions just fine, I don't think it was intended for camping in the snow. I'd lean more towards a doc dome or similar pro. series shelter for that. There is no dedicated outlet for a wood stove, I'm thinking to place mine at one of the small door openings when it gets colder out. In late fall and winter, I'll also bring along a propane heater which should help keep the shelter temps somewhat warmer. I'll be taking this shelter out frequently this year so I'll keep you posted on how it handles some of these conditions! Thanks for watching and your comment, always nice to hear from you!

I like this idea of integrating a tent with one of the openings on the Fubi. I think I’ll play around with this a bit! Thank you for watching!

Thanks, really happy with this shelter so far!

I’ll keep the videos coming! Was really happy with it so far, both setup wise and versatility! Thanks for watching!

It was such an awesome shelter and was really happy with how this setup turned out! Thank you for watching!

It was so nice, just the right size shelter in my opinion. Glad to hear you and your family get out camping as well! Thank you so much for watching and your support!

I purchased two 45degree pipe sections and definitely recommend it if using under a tarp. I’ve always used it this way and it feels very sturdy. If it’s windy, I bring ropes to tie down the chimney as there are metal hooks on the top insert. I went with the winnerwell nomad medium, but probably would go for the large if I did it again.

The seam sealant only needs to be applied to the vent sections and potentially the corners on the floor on the alpha breeze. I recommend checking out this CZcams channel: theoutdoorgearreview. He has a great video demonstrating how to seam seal.

Thank you, we had such a great time there!

Hey, it's an Oyster Tempo Cooler. Super light weight and has been performing very well! Thanks for watching!

@@rtmadanithank you!!!

Thank you for watching and the video suggestion! I'll put some more content out showing it as a sleeping shelter!

Hey, thank you so much!

Yes they are water resistant. On my latest video, right around 11minutes in, I show hosing it down with my garden hose and the water just beads right off the fabric. However, keep in mind during longer periods of rain and heavy rain the fabric may start to soak more, but water will not enter the tent. During the rainy seasons I use a tarp over my springbar and have recently got their Stormfly which should help keep the tent dryer. Thank you for watching!

Awesome, thank you so much for watching!

Ahh this is tough, but I think it really depends if you want the option to have an inclosed shelter or just a tarp. They are both very useful and each have their own advantages. The Evo Pro gives you ample covered area while being significantly lighter and smaller to bring along. However, the Leisure Port gives you more privacy with fabric panels and can create a bug free zone for warmer weather camping. I like using both for different situations, but I will say you can't turn the evo pro inter a shelter, so there is more versatility going with the Leisure Port.

Nice, good to hear! I'm going to try this method out!

I agree, both Snow Peak and Springbar make some pretty amazing gear! Have fun at that Grand Canyon, sounds like an awesome trip! Thank you for watching!
