I use the MPOWERD Luci Original Solar-Powered LED Lantern, and just cut off the excess plastic to get it down below 3 oz. It provides unlimited light that can illuminate an entire campsite, and can be used as a campfire replacement

what about seat height? Does the extra 3 inches on the airlite make it easier to get in and out of?

Until what Temperature have you tested the Elite Eco 20 Version?

Get the cookies with the chocolate coated bottoms. 1 marshmallow 2 cookies, they are done. The cookies hold up way better then graham crackers and no need for extra chocolate bars.

Thanks I'm a low light user. I've been using Nite Ize for a few yrs. I stopped bringing lantern and head lamps. This looks good and if I see one I'll add it to my kit. Small, light and rechargeable, like the Nite Ize but brighter. Even the NI are usually on the low setting. The only time I want more light is when I'm in a campground and other campers are blinding me with their RV porch lights and 6' high bone fires.

Hmm, it's just another take on lighting implement, just to make money. I'll go with my headlamp. I have it, I'm using it, I'm happy with it.

Thank you for the video. It was a great help to get a feel for Glacier. I'm planning a trip to Glacier and starting up my love of back packing after a 40 yr break!! I can't wait to experience the backcountry again.

I been using these flash light for years now and bought ones for all my friends/family. These little things r amazing!

All those features equals a circuit board inside which is why most flashlights fail. Single mode flashlights for me.. no circuit boards for me

Lately ive been running the loopgear sk03 its an amazing light with the ability to use aa/14500 and it comes with filters for the side lights i use red mainly for myself

Nope! Not convinced. Good back up light though.

You should have shared an example of one of the angry texts you got from your wife....LOL A satellite communicator is something I should start to consider getting.

It's good as a backup. I wouldn't use it as a primary

I used to use the Pocket Rocket, but I switched to the Jet Boil Flash because I found that the places we were backpacking didn't have a lot of flat spots and I had the pot fall off a time or two and with my kids, spilling hot water was a concern. But I got a Toaks 750 and BRS for times where I needed to save weight and space. While the BRS/Toaks combo work well for far less money, I still find the Jet Boil more convenient to use because its easier to handle while hot, the lid stays on, its more fuel efficient and more stable in uneven terrain. But now they have the Jet Boil Stash which is only 7.1oz, so while it doesn't compete with BRS/Toaks on price, I am thinking it might be the best of both worlds feature to weight-wise. Another thing I find intriguing about the Stash is that the pot and lighter can attach to the inside of the lid so those things are not contacting the pot. I have gotten rust in my pot before from the fuel can sitting in the pot.

I have the A5 and it’s my favorite piece of backpacking gear. There’s nothing on the market I would replace it with, unless they upgrade it somehow. The A5 also has a glow in the dark model, and has red light mode.

UV light good for spotting scorpions down here in AZ

Cool item but it will never replace my headlights

It also shows all the “scoot “ marks of your furry friends across the floor

I would like to know more. Can you advise the difference between each model so I can make a purchasing decision. Does it require a proprietary charging cord??? I prefer USB-C. The Olight's suck and were highly frowned upon at my police department because of their proprietary magnetic charging cord. If the Olight cord took a S_ _ T when you needed to charge it at work, you couldn't just go to the local gas station or all night pharmacy to get another charging cord.

Yeah I got ball cap. I wear it during the day. At night probably a beanie or nuthin when I might want a light

Battery life is not nearly enough for me More a edc lamp but not for hiking

Little pricy.

💪🏽🇺🇸

I’ve already got 3 of these little lights, just because they’re so cool and I give them away as gifts, but I am not familiar with this one. Guess it’s time for me to order one. Thanks for the suggestion.

I’ll stick with my Wuben E7. Battery life is excellent

I have one. I don't use my headlamp anymore. I liked it so much l got a bootleg version, but it's nowhere near as good as the RoyVon. It's insanely good and worth the cost.

I've been using the A8 for over 2 years and IF it fails I'm buying 2 more.

Thank you

Mini perun 2 kills that

Man, I have so many flashlights already, and now this? 😬

But unfortunately... 🔋 Batteries Don't last long in these form factors...So far, the best light 🚨🕯️ out of most of my Tac lights. Would be the Walmart purchased/ New NEBO Davinci series 800LM and 1800lm Zoom style (but good beam coverage) Tac type lights. 1800lm wide field flood covers a good amount of area and distance. Without really any dark shadows...

I counted 20 "likes" in 9 minutes, that's a like every 27 seconds - that seems excessive.

honestly i wasnt even looking for a headlamp ...let alone even own one but for how prtable this light is and how bright it is and for its price its honestly not bad - youve convinced me to get one for all the reasons you stated and more. as an EDC light its punching well above its weight imo.

Couldn’t disagree more. The Zero Pump is a major upgrade to any of the other pumps Flextail sells. For one, it’s a better quality piece. It’s made meticulously from aluminum. The detail is impressive. It is lighter and more compact. I don’t need the lantern. And $50 is very reasonable. And finally I’ve carried the Zero pump on countless trips in my pack, my pocket, and various other places with no issues of it coming on. Totally bogus claim. Conjecture based on opinion is unfair and misleading. I’m a huge fan of the Zero having used it extensively the past year. One of my favorite accessories. It’s quality and I love owning it. It feels solid and isn’t a big chunk of plastic. I turn it on and it comes to life. It does what it’s intended to do, fill up my mattress quickly and efficiently. All my fellow backpackers are jealous when I use it. I’ve also used it with my Vargo Ti Grill set up and it works amazing to keep the flames hot. There is no question it’s the best mattress pump out there.

I wonder if they have one with a red light.

i think the idea with the 1.2 oz is that their flashlight thats very similar to the aurora that uses the same battery, so if you use their flashlight, the battery wouldnt be extra. i like the smaller size of the zero since i dont use the lamp on the x

I started backpacking with a similar flashlight for similar reasons, but I went with a Olight Baton4. It’s less than 5oz. It has similar features, but no lantern mode, and high is 1300 lumens. But the best part is that the battery will run the moonlight mode for 30 days constant. So its more than enough to last an extended backpacking trip without a charge. I just clip to my hat, or the inside of my tent, or I use the magnet.

when you're camping,the UV light will show up spiders and scorpions.

I have only limited use for a headlamp, but when i have used and needed it, i would way prefer the longer lasting traditional headlamp. If i was not going for aggressive 14,000 foot climbs started at 2-3am requiring 3-4+ hours of light, i would maybe consider it.

The UV light would be great for anglers. Some fishing line is florescent for night fishing and it would charge glow in the dark lures really well. Fit in a tackle box with ease.

Sorry Adam not convinced. Maybe my lantern will be replaced by the RovyVon, but not the headlamp. Good arguments though and always enjoy your videos.

This is great! I do something similar with my Nemo Fillo, in that for backpacking trips I remove the memory foam (the weight is actually significant) and instead stuff my down jacket inside on top of the air bladder. Being in the Northwest as well I find I always bring my down jacket. The total loft is probably not quite as high as your final solution, but it works for me. Straps hold it to the pad. I still like the Fillo's foam for other applications, as I think it's comfortable, but If I had thought of your solution before I bought the Fillo I think I would have done what you did. As you say, the problem with strapping the pillow to the pad is that I would like to move it askew to tuck it into my chin more, as I turn from side to side. Good work! edit: Now that I think of it, there must be something I can add to the bottom of the pillow to keep it from slipping, like a couple pieces of non-slip cabinet liner, or dots of silicone, or something.

I just ordered the Ampex using the WELCOME10 discount code and saved an additional $9. That brought the price down to $80.99 or $1 more than the Elegear. That made it a no brainer. Looking forward to an upgrade over my current inflatable mattress. Yeah, it takes up more room but the foam should be more comfortable.

Love my Mighty Mo. For years I have watched everyone debate this point. Here's my take and why the Jetboil is almost identical to any other cook kit. Ok, It has a pot, a bowl, a coozie, a lid, a stove, and gas. Even if you use the Brs stove, you buy a pot, a coozie, a lighter and a can of gas. Not going to be a bunch of size difference period. Weight... ok, maybe, but with Jetboil you get a superior system in the wind and a much more stable system. Yes, all I do is boil water. In my opinion... why would you want the added "weight that everyone is worried about" in a 3lb leg of lamb, on a backpacking trip? Just my thoughts. Thanks for sharing.👴

An unashamed plug for the Jetboil .. and why not, it is a good product. Any cooker used outdoors should have an accompanying separate windscreen. The obsession (especially in the USA) with 'boil time and weight' .. 🙄. Boil time is not necessarily linked directly to fuel efficiency. A lower heat setting will more often than not, result in better fuel efficiency .. albeit taking a bit longer. The BRS, by all accounts enjoys a good reputation. If it were me, I would settle for the BRS, a Pot, Canister Footpiece and a Collapsible Wind Screen. But then, I already have a 'Camping Gaz 206 Bluet' Stove w Integrated Wind Screen that I bought back in the '70's and still use regularly. The Gas Cylinders, I can get down the road at my local Food Store and just about anywhere in Europe. Cost / Gram of Fuel Content .. the cheapest I can find. It does the job .. very well at that .. and .. it's paid for. A good review .. thanks. Question if I may please? Why the reverse baseball cap indoors?

A lot of thru hikers use the BRS for months on end. It's not just for day trips or 2 night trips

Your multiple people scenario doesn't make sense. It's cheaper and lighter to buy 3 BRS stoves. Like you said, everyone has to carry a cup anyway.

I use the jet boil press with my toaks 750ml. Also works with the 650ml and 550ml.

I say the same thing about a little flat pack twig stove v gas. No fuel to carry and it’s totally under 150 grams. I don’t know about you folks in the states but it makes a lot of sense here in Australia as there’s so much fuel just laying around that mostly you don’t even have to get up off your sit pad to keep it going. No good for high summer due to total fire bans but that’s true of gas burners too.

😊 Great review! So many great thoughts… I just can’t give up my jet boil though! I have the minimo along with the frying pan and the 1.5 L pot so we can cook meals when we go backpacking. It’s never failed me and when I needed to upgrade parts that were getting worn (lid, cup etc) Jetboil has always sent me free parts. Amazing customer service that you can’t get from the Chinese companies.
