This channel is extremely underrated. I would love to see your channel grow a lot, since I think your content extremely good!

Thanks for the kind words!

First time that I saw your channel was viewing the review about the Forclaz 900 tent. Very good by the way.
Then at the end I chose this one. And man, what a good surprise! Extremely good content and thoughts about the subject.
Very well produced, nice layout with the information charts, funny excerpts during the video and beautiful illumination and framing both to you and the people that you interviewed.
Talking about that, I even can't remember if there's a channel that concerns to take a specialist opinion, and that was definitely an excellent touch. That brings authoroty and confidence to your video, and immediately catch the audience's attention.
Your video automatically deserved my thumbs up and my subscription. And since I'm a brazilian guy living in Spain, and gathering information about hiking at Pirinees, that was a very useful information about gear.
Well done, and good luck with the channel!

Thanks for the kind words man, that means a lot! I really wanted to make this video to get away from doing mainly product reviews, but it doesn't seem to get many views. Oh well. Thanks again and have a great time in the Pyrenees!
