- Now I don't know about you. But there is one piece of gear that I will always have with me . Come Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. It is in my pack. To handle any conditions or situations. To protect me from the wind, rain, snow, and even from the fire. This jacket will also help keep you warm. It is one jacket you should always have with you.
JACKETS USED:
SOFT SHELL:
Columbia Whirlibird : ( amzn.to/47PVUAS )
HARDSHELL:
Bergans of Norway ( www.bergans.com )
Any hard shell rain jacket will work. Just make sure you get a size larger. ( amzn.to/3R1DeqW )
it's refreshing to see someone who isn't afraid to lightheartedly poke fun of potential members of their audience.
You would not believe what people say in the comment section. I just try to beat them to the punch. Thank you WR3ND for watching. I really appreciate it.
Excellent! I have been trying to tell my family and fronds to use shells, but do they listen? Noooo!
Do they freeze? Yesssss!
Do I have to pack an extra shell and carry it around for them! LOL
Got take care of our friends and family. Even if they don't listen. You never Know. An acorn could out of a tree and land on there head. And Walla! There eyes will be opened.
Thank you Billy for watching. much appreciated.
love my hard shell. I forgot it once in my van and turned around from a hike to get it. i think its extremely important.
Like the old saying: " I never leave home without it". Thank you Plants4thewin for watching. I really appreciate it.
Hahaha (English next) j'ai bien aimé le personnage qui revient / I really loved the character that comes back to say "but you better make it quick!"
Make it snappy!
The forest is beautiful around you. Makes me miss the fall foliage. We awoke to -15 F this morning. I had to break out my winter shell finally. Love the “armchair warrior “😂
We have not yet experience that kind of cold yet. But it is coming! thank you Bearrivermama for watching. I really do appreciate it.
Another info. packed video Marine! I can't believe you were in that "hard wind" blizzard...wild visuals. Keep it up!
Thank you sir!
Funny and wise at the same time. Thanks.
Thank you Ericag so much. I really do appreciate it.
I mostly motocamp so I always carry a hardshell jacket! Riding at 50 mph staying dry is foremost. Mine is hi vis and rolls up into it's own zippered pocket. Other layers are seasonal. Always enjoy your channel. Thanks
I am sure you have experienced some cold wind chills! thank you RoadDogSteve for watching. Much appreciated.
I stay with a hard shell, good info, thanks for posting.
Year round protection. Thank you Jerry for watching.
Another great video. That other guy must of been Air Force.😁😁 Thanks for the video and take care, Al
Love that! Thank you Al for watching. Much appreciated.
Love my Goretex jacket. It's a complete weatherproof system. It can also act as a liner for my ruck sack if necessary. Great video Ron. I enjoy them as always. Being a three season camper I really am getting itchy feet to get outdoors already. Hmmmm 🤔
I am looking forward to some winter camping. Mother Nature just isn't cooperating. No snow yet. And above normal temps. We might be having a brown Christmas this year. That rarely happens. Thank you Saxoncrow for watching and you and your family have a Merry a Merry Christmas!
@@AdventureswiththeMarine and to you and yours my friend
WITH ALL THESE SHELLS IT KINDA SOUNDS LIKE TACOS. JUST KIDDING. I AGREE A GOOD WIND STOPPER IS PARAMOUNT. GREAT VIDEO.
Now that you mentioned that. Guess what I am now going to have for lunch. But now do I get the Hard Shell or Soft Shell?
👍 Good advice, thank you for sharing.
Stay dry, stay warm; get wet, get cold. Cold = no good.
You got that right! Thank you Meaninglessendeavors for watching. I always appreciate it.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine I have enjoyed your adventures and advice since your CZcams channel was called Hammock Camping (or something like that).
Great points Ron! I always take an outer shell year round. Warmer weather I use an ultralight. Then late Fall I use a shorter Rain jacket and pants. Then for deep cold I have a waterproof insulated ski jacket like the blue Columbia one you use. All of them are larger so I can wear them over a bunch of layers if need be. I agree, this layer is very important. Great video! 👍
I have had that rain jacket or shell for quite awhile now. I thinking about a lighter one for hiking in warmer weather. What would you recommend?
@@AdventureswiththeMarine for warmer weather my gear is mostly ultralight including my rain jacket/outer shell. Mainly because where I hike it’s very warm and very humid so I need something that breathes while wheeling it in the rain. But I usually sweat anyway in hot weather wearing one. But my gortex is just way too much warmth for warm weather. My favorite is the one I have now which is the Visp from Enlightened Equipment. They are specifically designed to go over their Torrid (puffy) jacket at the same size so if you would choose that one make sure you choose the same size as your Torrid if you plan on taking that in warmer weather. (I usually always have July puffy regardless of the time of year.). It’s pricy but not as much as some and they recently started selling them again. I don’t like the OR helium jackets because they feel clammy and like a rubber suit when I wear it. Zpacks has a good one but it is very expensive and the cut is meant for someone that is a bean pole, which I’m not lol. Mainly they are tight in the arms and I have two of them in different sizes but the arms are identical as far as fit. Frog Toggs makes very light and cheap rain gear. If you were a beginner I would say start with that. But it is also very cheap in quality. In the end it’s up to your personal preference and budget. But I think the best is the EE Visp. I have the rain pants as wells. Love them.
your videos are fun to watch. Keep it up!!
Glad you like them! Thank you Esvicks for watching. I really appreciate it.
New subscriber here, just found you! Liking the content so far, binging your videos. Looks like you are in my neck of the woods. Im in the Duluth area. Definitely relevant info for me, thanks brother!
Awesome! The BWCA and the Superior Hiking Trail are my two favorite places on earth. Thank you Scottholmquist for watching and subscribing. I really appreciate it.
I still have an old softshell neon jacket that is embarrasing to use but it sure works wonders.
Who cares what it looks like. As long as it works to keep you warm. But please do not wear it is bear country. Just kidding! Thank you Pamb for watching. I really appreciate it.
I’ve been wanting a new video from you. Always fun to watch & practical.
Have you ever tried a poncho? I like that it will keep shoulder straps dry but wonder about using trekking poles & umbrella. Ease of use.
I use a poncho for many years in the Marine Corps. Very versatile. I have a hybrid poncho that goes over myself and the pack. I haven't used it in years. I guess I must of forgot about it. Umbrellas work great , as long as there is no wind. Thank you Sheilahenry for watching. I really appreciate it.
Loved it
Thank you Joeantonicci so much. Much appreciated!
Good information. I learned a lot about how to dress for the winter when I started mountain biking in the snow. There was a learning curve to it for sure. What brand fo jackets are the brown hardshell and the blue softshell you were wearing? My Hubby needs a new "shell" and I could use some recommendations. HENRY! (you do that on purpose to make me watch all the way to the end LOL)
When I finished editing this video and rendered it. I almost forgot to add Henry. I thought I better find something. Or I will hear it from Jill Marie!
I just put some links down below. The Bergan is now so expensive. But any hard shell rain jacket will do. But the soft shell is from Columbia called the Whirilibird that was discontinued. But is now back. That jacket. If they are still made the same. I my warmest jacket. You will always see me wearing that in extreme cold temperatures. A size up on that jacket for layers underneath.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine THANKS!
Heyyyyyy Sir!!
Wowwww who knew there were 2!
Would U be kind enuff to give names or models of the blue and brown shells U use so I know where to start lookin please??? Bless U and Family!!
I just put in the links. The hard shell that I bought years ago. Is now very expensive. You don't need to spend a lot for a hard shell. I also put a link for one that is a fraction of the cost. Thank you Oldpisces for pointing that out.
🙏
Thank you Rmaa for watching. I really appreciate it.
Why don't you put a mylar cover under what you're sleeping on it will radiate the warmth back cheap and very light to carry 😮
Columbia is putting that technology into there jackets. I could tell the difference. thank you Christophersherratt for watching. I really do appreciate it.
Hm quiet confusing, because now they call "softshell" membrane jackets with fleece lining.
Not the inside but the outside.
Did I miss it? What hardshell jacket are you wearing? You said you've worn it for 10 years. I wanna know what it is to potentially purchase it.
I listed it down below. It is the Bergan's of Norway. Thank you Chrissheard for watching. Much appreciated!
What about bottoms? I have a thin pair of pants for summer, but struggling to find something to wear under snow pants besides jeans.
When I wear my snow pants in the winter. I will always wear a thick pair of Marino Wool long underwear bottoms underneath. A good pair are expensive. But worth the investment. Thank you Andrew for watching. I really appreciate it.
Hey im new subscriber here.. honestly i like your video knowledge that you share. I need your advice as im with "chilblains" like cold feet and hand and my work is outdoors for minimum 10hours working outside in this weather and i have seen your video of cold hand&feet its help. Can you suggest me what kind of shoes socks is best to keep my feet warm. Is vapour barrier help? As it contains sweat.. please help me to suggest best warm shoe shock.thanks
Vapor barrier sock are for those trips. Where you are going to be out for many days. And when you do get to camp. You are to change to wool socks. The best comble for you would be a good pair of Marino wool socks. They can be thick as long as your boots are loose fitting. If you socks get damp. Dry them out or use a fresh pair. Thank you for watching. I really do appreciate it.
At 2:30, I was wondering why you pronounce "escape" as "eXcape"?
You will find that on X. Thank you Mat for watching.
Kardashians???????? Marine how can you swear like that?? anyway - I love my hardshell as a quick substitute umbrella especially during those quick MN summer sprinkle throughs. grab it - throw it over me and gear and just a little or NO wet.
I have a backpacking umbrella that I rarely use. But when I have it. It works great. Sometimes it is hard to teach an old dog. New tricks. Thank you Ken for watching. Always appreciate it.
The alter ego stuff gets old...real fast.
I would have to agree. I LOVE the Marine's videos, but I could do without the alter ego parts.
It shows insecurity.
