Thanks for this review. We are a family of 8 just getting into backpacking from car camping. We’ve been collecting Nemo Tensor All Season wide pads, but I was looking at this for my three youngest kids who don’t need a super nice pad to save money. Right away I can see it’s much much larger rolled up than the Tensor and does not look anywhere near as thick. Guess I’ll keep saving and make a purchase once for everyone to have Nemos.

Keep your first aid kit outside your pack, visible, and easily accessible. Hairspray is useless unless you can reach it in

Where is the fleece from and would it work if I 1) layer with base layer 2) then wear merino wool sweater 3) fleece 4) light puffer 5) down parka for -30° hike through woods?
@roamingthetrails
@roamingthetrails 26 күн бұрын
The fleece is from the North Face, and yes that layering System seems great but honestly once you start hiking you’ll probably get warm and layers will start coming off.. everyone is different though so try it out, it’s always better to have more layers than not enough

Is there a need for bear spray if they’re hibernating
@roamingthetrails

maybe not ? I like to carry it as extra precaution. It also depends on the location you’re at, some locations restrict the use of bear spray year-round

@roamingthetrails
@roamingthetrails Ай бұрын
It’s doable but I would encourage you to park and walk instead.. there’s not as many parking spaces on the side of the road in winter.. but there’s always lots too see.. 📸bridalveil falls, cooks meadow, swinging bridge, mirror lake, lower Yosemite falls. safe travels 😊

I use basic liner gloves by REI but they’re not the warmest. I don’t use thicker gloves because I feel it gets in the way of using the camera. If bulkiness is not an issue for you, consider getting some insulated gloves

This was first week of February 2024 on a Saturday. We only say one person during the hike. If you’re worried about wild life and the solitude o would recommend going down to Yosemite Valley or Sequoia National Park instead.

@ Thank you. I’m familiar with the road on 41, gone to Yosemite 6x but not much on snowy conditions. Been there in one icy February. Will be driving a Tacoma OR 23. Do you think there’ll be snow on 140 or maybe not as bad? Thank you. Wish me luck lol 🤞

Personally 140 has less curves than 41 and I think looks safer, however I always take 41 and just play it safe. Just make sure you have chains sometimes rangers asks to see them but I’ve only ever had to put them on my 21 OR.. take it slow and you’ll be fine, enjoy it

So I’m at the store about to buy these (literally sitting down watching your video, right now, with these boots on my feet) because I was wanting these particular boots for awhile now and I finally went out for them but now I’m deciding not to buy. I’m making my decision based off of your very informative video of these particular boots! I was originally going for these because they boast “waterproof” and that’s exactly what I need. When I hear “waterproof” I’m expecting the whole boot to be exactly that…waterproof!!!! After watching your video and hearing your very in-depth review… you just saved me from the eventual disappointment of having wet, cold feet!!! Now I’m not saying that this is a bad boot… just not what I was looking for!! Thanks for your awesome review brother!!! Keep hiking!!!

I have constantly wet feet in this shoes even in cold climate. Their membrane is just a bloody plastic bag if you as k me. I don’t sweat as much in any other shoe than this one. And the sole came loose after 30km. Total crap shoe.

I don’t think two days is enough to do most of the things on this video but rather better to choose 3-5 things and make the most of it. No matter what you choose to do you’ll have a good time.

I’m thinking of getting this in down in the upcoming REI sale. A few things to consider- down may be warmer, compress better, a higher R sleeping pad would help too. We have grown tired of the traditional mummy bag so really looking forward to the disco
@roamingthetrails
@roamingthetrails 2 ай бұрын
Yes, we definitely ended up adding a sleeping bag liner which helped add extra warmth but next we’re looking into a sleeping pad with better R rating. I think you’ll really enjoy this disco sleeping bag, and the added plus that you can combine two of these sleeping bags.

1000%! The disco i would definitely recommend more than the forte, having all the same bells and whistles but made out of down, making it lighter,warmer, and more compress-able!

Each year it’s different, but it’s always better to prepare yourself for what you need for hiking in the snow. The trails can be very slick in the winter. We recommend heading to the ranger station in the valley or the national park website for up to date trail clausures.

Have you wore barefoot boots or shoes before because it takes quite a while for your feet to adjust and if your wearing normal sole shoes in between then you feet will never adapt? You have to choose between them , I wear barefoot all the Tim and my feet are just about there adapting to them, that’s two years because remember how many years have we squished our feet into torcher shoes?😊
