You really need to try the REI helix pad. It’s worth every ounce! The word will eventually get out. CHEERS!
Thanks for the nudge, I didn't know about this pad! 6 oz. heavier, but 4.9 R-value and serious $ savings, certainly worth a look.
Instead of an opsac I've been using a turkey oven bag, fits nicely in your Bear bag. Just fill it an twist it like a pack liner
Ooh, great idea, much cheaper solution I bet! Thanks!!
I like your book selection.
That's just the overflow in the cabin. You should see what's in the main house! Thanks and happy reading!!
Great list. Just ordered the pillow! From one old backpacking geyser to another!
Hope you sleep well!!
Absolutely brilliant topic man, love your content!
Much appreciated! You have some amazing photography on your channel, really impressive!
Oh man, congrats on all the awesome new gear, especially that packraft! Looks super nice! 😄 Can't wait to see what experiences you have with it all. 😊 Cheers and atb from Norway.
Thanks a ton! Packraft has arrived and I can't wait to get it on the water. Thanks my friend!
I'm a big fan of opsacks personally even if just for keeping food dry from rain.
Great to hear, thanks!
Good list of new gear. I see a few things I want to try. Thank you, Colorado Girl
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your work.
Your videos are encouraging to hike, delivered in a reasonable tone without careless hype.
I appreciate that. Thanks for the kind words!!
Looking forward to your adventures this summer in the new pack raft!
Thanks so much. Packraft has arrived!! Can't wait to get out there too.
A really informative and inspiring video, tnx a lot!
Glad you liked it!
Awesome recommendations! I’ve been using the insulated Tensor and its been great!
Great to hear! Can't wait to try it myself. ZZZZZZ ;-)
That sounds so familiar 😂 every Christmas I am telling my mum that I have everything right now...
By the time it is February I have a wish list to the moon and back 😂
So true! Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing you new gear items. Really like my EE Torrid jacket. very warm. prefer a full zipper for venting. hope you enjoy your EE pullover. I have the etherlight XL Insulated and included stuff sack is designed to inflate it. I can completely fill the XL pad by gently blowing into the sack 3-4 time total. The Nemo also has a pump sack so not sure why a electronic air pump is necessary. I've been using a Trekker Space pen and Opsak bags for many years - work great. hope you have some great trips in the Bob. with the low snowpack, it will be interesting to see the snow level in May and June.
Thanks for the input! It will take a lot to convince me the pump is worth bothering with too. ;-) I bumped my planned trips up a week earlier to try and hit the water before it gets too low.
Hey Bubba, thanks! It's reassuring to know that I'm not the only one who likes new gear even if it's redundant. I found a way to justify the new stuff by giving the slightly used gear to my grandkids lol.
Oooh, good thinking! Can I borrow your grandkids? ;-)
Carefull with that EE Apex pullover synth when its raining hard. Be sure to have a towel, becauae if you get super wet, like hypothermia wet its almost impossible to put on that Torid jacket.
Good point, hadn't considered that possibility. Thanks!
Absolutely love my Torrid pullover. I’m convinced the double-layer of insulation at the pocket (+ lack of a full zipper) makes it significantly warmer.
I’m curious to see how you fare with the Opsak. I shied away from it a while back due to the smaller size and closure - went to a nylofume pack liner in my food bag instead - but if it’s durable and straightforward enough it may be worth a switch.
I may head in the same direction (if you don't mind being followed) ;-) Just wanted to give opsak a try first, since it claims to block odors better than a regular plastic bag. Thanks!
Another episode of Dan's Fire Side Gear Reviews is on the air. I've had the EE Torrid full zip up for a season now and really have liked it. That sleeping pad pump looks pretty good and I'll look forward to your field test with it. We'll look forward to a future review of your new teleprompter 😜
Thanks John, glad to hear you like the Torrid! Teleprompter isn't new, but works great for me: amzn.to/3VvpZ5W
🤣touche!@@ShastaBubba
Great video! Just hours before watching, I was debating purchasing the new flex tail. It’s still sitting in my cart.
You seem to be a reader, so I’ll offer you a recommendation; Song Lines, by Bruce Chatwin. It was published many years ago, but it’s new to me. I am almost through it now. It’s fantastic book that any outdoor person or hiker would appreciate.
Let me know if you’ve read it already.
LOVE me a good book rec, thanks! It's in my cart now. ;-)
New Sub. Enjoy your content 😊
Thanks and welcome!
The Black Friday 30-40% off sales always suck me in. As a result, I don’t have the kit “dialed in” until December. 🤣
I hear ya. sigh. It would suck if it wasn't so much fun trying out new things!
@@ShastaBubba thanks to crazy lead times, I’ve got gear coming that I’ve almost forgot is on the way (e.g. Wapta pack). 😂
Yeah, but ... Wapta coming! Right? 😆@@andymytys
I like putting my snacks in my Pullover Pockets...
Another good use 👍
Ever thought of taking a pencil instead?
Good idea, certainly cheaper! Unfortunately, graphite doesn't always right in high humidity either and also fades over time. I keep my journal pages glued into a bound journal for future reference and my experience has been that pencil writing is really difficult to read after a decade or so. Probably not an issue for most folks!
I really don't get the 'Avoid the horrid laborious 4 minutes of pumping your sleeping pad, bring an electric pump' attitude.
Preferably buy a sleeping pad with a pump sack I'd say, use wind, if available, to fill pump sack, slightly lean on pump sack to fill pad, repeat.
Choosing a decent camping pillow, that I do understand.
Yeah, I know. . . but it was free! It will take a lot to convince me it's worth it too.
