Durston X MID 2 Solid Review

Ayr to Somewhere
zhlédnutí 74Před dnem
Hannah and I are finally on the mend after our Ben Nevis mishaps, we've ended up Ayr, but not exactly sure what's next, where Ben and Luke are or their plans, so we started walking south, not sure where we would end up or what we were doing at all. A massive a super big thanks to Katherine and Isaac who I hope get to watch this. Their generosity was so humbling on a super grim day, and also to ...

Ben Nevis

After arriving in Fort Williams after walking the Great Glen Way, we set off to start the West Highland, but starting over Ben Nevis... But it didn't all go to plan and left us pretty scattered and unsure of what's next! . . . #westhighlandway #BenNevis #walk #glencoe #fortwilliam #walk #backpacking #hiking #travel #antipode #nocommericaltransport #adventure #trails #vlog #doco #documentation #...

A Train to Eskdale and a walk over Muncaster Fell
zhlédnutí 36Před měsícem
Can our get more English than a steam train? Hannah and Mick took the old mining train from Ravenglass to Eskdale where I met them, having run the trail to meet them there, from which we walked over Muncaster Fell back to Ravenglass. Our first properly rubbish day, and an introduction to the crap English weather everyone has been telling us about!

    My torso length is about 46cm, my height is 170cm and my waist size is 33inch. Which Aarn backpack should I choose?

    • @SALTY_GRINS
      @SALTY_GRINS Před 5 měsíci

      Heya! There can be quite a bit to fitting an Aarn pack well, but spot on that you have all your measurements! I've got here a link to the Aarn Pack size guide: www.aarnpacks.com/pages/how-to-select-your-pack It's pretty crucial that the measurements are taken from the correct landmarks, other wise you'll end up missing out on the magic of these packs if they don't fit and probably end up feeling dissatisfied. Ultimately the team at Aarn are awesome and happy to help! Use this link to their website: www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&merchant_id=f82b013e-d0a7-4a0c-bac5-c0e3675554e6&website_id=5f81a13d-c2b1-4a87-bbc1-e7237b588fa5&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.aarnpacks.com and you'll be helping support my page and more content! Thanks for watching! super stoked!

    Seems like he has **finally** found a solution for the hip belt on his lighter packs! The belt on my old Mountain Magic is a bit of a fail. Prototyping my own DIY version of the body-pack, I've realised the problem. You need the stay of the balance pocket to slot into the belt near to the centre. But with a conventional belt, this is where you'd have the tightening straps. Dividing each side of the belt into 2 pads, he's able to slot the stay into a pad near the central buckle. And he can have a second pad extending from the pack to take the main load. And then there's space between them for a double adjustment strap on the side, where you don't need padding in any case. Simple once you figure it out, but I didn't spot it and it's taken Aarn decades to come up with it. Now this is solved, I can finalise my own design! But I'm a bit baffled by his decision to supply the pack with such wimpy balance pockets by default. The whole benefit of the body pack is to shift half of the weight to the front, along with giving easy access to the stuff you need on the trail. These tiny pockets don't have nearly enough volume for all that. Your camera pockets are much more on point. Anyway, thanks for the review! It's surprising how most backpackers simply aren't open minded enough to even try one. The number of times I've been told that I won't be able to see my feet or that my chest will get hot or that it's too difficult to put on or....

      @SALTY_GRINS Před 7 měsíci

      Hey Man! Epic you've made your own! I rate that. Thanks for watching and your time in commenting! I agree that these packs and any body pack are a game changer! I haven't tried the earlier versions so hadn't run into that problem, but happy to be the beneficiary of this updated version that honestly works so well!

    Such a helpful and honest review! I love my poles (Leki Legacy's). I'm so glad I got them. For my day hiking makes a massive difference for my back and ive used them crossing some pretty rough rivers/streams during fly fishing too! I love watching gear reviews so excited to see what else you can give us some insights into! Keep them coming 😍

    • @SALTY_GRINS
      @SALTY_GRINS Před 11 měsíci

      Yeah, Black Diamond need to rethink that system! Its great in theory, and it’s simple, but just doesn’t not work practically if you wanted to change environments! Easier to have two sets of poles Id say
