Yes, great idea! I'll have that out by next Friday (July 26th). Thanks for the support! -Matt

@@adeeo Good to know! I’ll have to check them out! I’m in the market for some new hikers as my last ones went out and my low hikers aren’t as satisfying as boots. Of course I probably won’t be hiking for a while due to ongoing health issues. Thanks for the support and comment! -Matt

@@gabrielcampero9081 6lb fluorocarbon, it’s a great all around line for what I fish. I usually do a 10lb braid backing in 1/3 of the reel and finish the 2/3 with the 6lb fluorocarbon. Sorry for the delayed response. -Matt

@@dy11ann sorry for the late response! It is the 2022 model. I have no regrets about mine, definitely the most comfortable large pack for my back.

@@DentSideDee71 Sorry for the late response. That particular rod had very little use, and unfortunately was not my first bad experience with Okuma. They just don’t have a great manufacturing process in my opinion. I was able to get the reel off, of which the metal shims got mangled. Thanks for the view and comment! -Matt

@@eastaronline2504 sorry for the late response, but yes I agree with you. I ended up modding it by sewing several guy out points and rewaterproofing it with seam sealer. The seam sealer kept water out, but due to the material and design even with extra guy out points this tent is awful even in light wind.

@@mattstreamadventures I got another one pop up and seems pretty good. So easy to setup and carry,

@@hooked911 sorry for the late response, but thank you for the support. -Matt

Thank you, posting tonight. Gonna try to aim for a Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Monday/Friday posting schedule.

Thank you for supporting the channel

Thank you lol

Thanks for continuing to support the channel! Glad you learned something new! I’d say an under quilt is one of the most versatile pieces of outdoor equipment as it’s used to trap your body heat for hammocks, could be used as a sleeping bag, blanket, or even as a sheet on a cot.

Thank you for supporting the channel!

Thanks for watching! Glad you found the video helpful! Even after modding the tent, I’d say it’s more of an emergency tent than anything. There’s hardly any room for a pack and boots. Don’t know what they were thinking with the name of it 😆

Hey Kevin, thanks! Just got done filming a video of that. Now I just have to make some final touches but it should be posted in a few hours. Thanks for the great idea! And as usual your support is recognized and appreciated.

Thanks for your continued support of the channel!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for the subscription. 30L sounds like a great choice and Eddie Bauer has some great equipment/clothes. I’ve been really racking up the miles on the pack in this video to get a true feel. In one of my latest videos, I slightly mentioned, if and when my channel gets to 500 subscribers I’m giving away one of these packs new to a subscriber. I’ll be making a post to my community section soon too, with a new upload schedule that I think will improve the channel as well. Once again, thanks for your support! -Matt

Glad to know the video helped someone! I actually made several modifications to the tent since this video but am waiting to test them out, as it was very leaky before hand. If you are still looking for something at a reasonable price that is lightweight, the Ascend Nine Mile tent from Cabelas/Bass Pro looks to have a lot of great reviews and be lighter than most other tents in its price range. Similarly, and a little cheaper the Winterial Bivy Tent is also another popular option.

I didn’t even know anyone voted on my post till I read this. Tomorrow’s video will be about some more new gear, not homemade, but hopefully some good options for people who don’t want to spend a trillion bucks. Thanks for the continued support!

Good luck! The toughest part is the poles. Everything else was relatively easy. If available I recommend tying the guy line on the door to a tree, cause if you stake it to the ground it’s hard to get in and out. And mosquitoes are awful!

@@mattstreamadventures lmao ya dont say! 😂 I only had about maybe 45 minutes of daylight left so I said screw it I'll watch this video in the morning😁. I thought I packed pretty heavy. Turns out I was just in a rush. Once I emptied all my equipment out to organize all my big stuff like bedding naturally settled into sort of a bed in my hatchback! I'm like 6 foot five and apparently I can fit in it. Really learning a lot today 😂

Hey I know it’s a little late and you probably figured out the tent by now… but I just made a more detailed video (only about 10 minutes) of the setup. Also figured I’d let you know, for future use of it… the lateral seams on the foot end need to be sealed before any rain use. Likewise with the head end. Working on a video of that now. Hope you’re doing well!

I think it’s good enough to sleep in lol

Thank you! Just subscribed to your channel, can’t wait to watch your videos, they look awesome! -Matt

@@mattstreamadventures Thank you 🤗♥️

No problem! Thanks for the view and comment! I absolutely love mine, just used it today, with just over 30 pounds cross country skiing, I wouldn’t have chosen any other pack. And if you buy one, I hope you like it as much as I love mine. -Matt

Thank you! I’ll be uploading part 2 within a couple of hours.
