    You really need to try the REI helix pad. It’s worth every ounce! The word will eventually get out. CHEERS!

    • @ShastaBubba
      @ShastaBubba  Před 4 měsíci

      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'm a big fan of opsacks personally even if just for keeping food dry from rain.

    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.

    • @ShastaBubba
      @ShastaBubba  Před 4 měsíci

      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.

    @dontall71 Před 4 měsíci +1

    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.

    • @ShastaBubba
      @ShastaBubba  Před 4 měsíci

      Oooh, good thinking! Can I borrow your grandkids? ;-)

  • @DanielOutdoors
    @DanielOutdoors Před 4 měsíci +1

    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.

    • @ShastaBubba
      @ShastaBubba  Před 4 měsíci

      Good point, hadn't considered that possibility. Thanks!

  • @SirDankyMcMemerton
    @SirDankyMcMemerton Před 4 měsíci +1

    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.

    • @ShastaBubba
      @ShastaBubba  Před 4 měsíci +1

      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!

    @DrJohn493 Před 4 měsíci +1

    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 😜

    • @ShastaBubba
      @ShastaBubba  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Thanks John, glad to hear you like the Torrid! Teleprompter isn't new, but works great for me: amzn.to/3VvpZ5W

    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.

    The Black Friday 30-40% off sales always suck me in. As a result, I don’t have the kit “dialed in” until December. 🤣

    Ever thought of taking a pencil instead?

    • @ShastaBubba
      @ShastaBubba  Před 4 měsíci +4

      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!

    @tubulzr Před 4 měsíci +1

    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.

    • @ShastaBubba
      @ShastaBubba  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Yeah, I know. . . but it was free! It will take a lot to convince me it's worth it too.
