Every SeaToSummit Ether Light XT review should start with a size of it. Dealbreaker.

Merci soldat

waaao what a carruage X-D

Waaaaao Another level of life and courage! Great heart. Greetings from Denmark. I just found you today. Looking forward to learn from you. Blessed you may always be .

Hi, Can you do an update review for the Salomon XA 35 please. when you have time, appreciated much.

Cool story and video. I will buy one and take it on a 50000km trip in Europa with our 1971 Fiat 500.

Hello, how many hours does hot water last and how many hours does cold water last? Can you help me? Thank you.

A bit of advice dear sir, when you choose to use the words “ it “ and “ this one/that one “ rather than use the model, means that I do not understand what model you are referring to. Thank you.

Thankyou! You're the only resource for the 86 freeze plug ! I have researched for months trying to avoid the pain in the ass my instinct knew it was ganna be ... Damm i love my jeep.. at least its spring time in this comment

Haha i thought i recognized you from somewhere and then i remembered you bought a dog from my parents (Kennel Cahppes) :)

Hello ! Have you noticed any deformations with the net until now ? Do you know the weight of the shirt ? The site doesn't mention it. Thank you !

I’m rough on myself and gear. What glove would you suggest using instead? I do lots of work outside and all my hobbies are outside doing physical activities.

Hi man, im considering this backpack to do some overnight trips with minimal sleeping gear. The problem is, it needs to fit in some bikepacking bags. If you remove the inside foam support, how compact could you squeze the pack?

I know it's an old video but I really am surpised. My trail break has never left my side in about 6 years of guiding. Of course I am working in different contexts. I have the non silicone version. It's been beat up, I have never had an issue of contents being cold. I feel like maybe in some very specific cases it might not work, but that is the same with any product. I find the cup to hold temperature well enough as even a fully insulated cup will get cold winter camping, I tend to drink smaller cups of fluid in general. I prefer this over the stanleys I have used in the past. I find the shape is perfect to get into backpack, side pockets and car cup holders. The 500ml version also can nestle with an MSR titan cup perfectly. Which is great so that I can have two cups for a friend and I. The amount of guides I have shared a cup of tea with is countless. Of course there are tons of issues with anything right. I don't like how you can't replace gaskets and Primus won't send you any. You need to replace the whole topper and shipping is crazy. I don't love the sippy cup top, it broke after 2 years use. I really wish there was an after market something to be able to clip a carabiner to this thermos. Especially when around camp or canoeing it's nice to have it secured. Due to it being tapered in some extreme situation like bailing while skiing I have found it to fly out. Kinda also with they had at least one straight edge on this so it would be less prone to rolling. I wish they were more available. I have tried new thermoses since and honestly I am now shopping for the 1l version to use while trapping, doing search& rescue and xc skiing

Great video and production quality. I loved the frigid landscapes! ;) I noticed that my generic 1L stainless steel flask from a supermarket gets surprisingly quickly luke warm, especially after I start drinking from it. It is slightly warm to touch, so I suspected either poor quality or perhaps lost vacuum. Generic 0.5L is very functional and seems to hold better on average. Swell 0.75L narrow bottle keeps hot water for 24h and is my best one. It was a gift at a work place. I consider upgrading, but not sure about the sizes of Stanley bottles. I noticed 1L can be more expensive than 1.4L and 1.9L ones on popular marketplace, and the 1.9L is often the cheapest one of the three. I guess it is demand/supply thing. I will take the bigger one, for use in the workshop or car, I think. They are too heavy for hiking anyway. I have solar, so can boil water whenever I want, but it is handy to have some hot water. I am trying to learn how quickly they lose heat once the liquid is being used. It is an interesting phenomenon!

Wow this was incredibly helpful! I have a shoot coming up, and this is really helping me get the feeling and understand some of the optical strengths and limitations of these lenses. Cheers!

Very helpful review - best I have seen. Thank you!

How does their sizes run? On spot with their size table or bigger?

Interesting video, the idea of taking a dump in the vestibule (if you have two) was new to me 😁. I use the Nallo GT on winter trips and I disagree about wind resistance - a quality tunnel tent like the Nallo can easily take storm winds if you pitch it along the wind direction. The problem is if the wind turns and comes from the side, that's one advantage of dome tents. Regarding the extended vestibule (absid) I could never live without it. It allows me to dig a pit in the snow so you can sit (like in a chair) and cook food and do other stuff - fantastic if the weather is bad. Regarding no snowflaps, I follow Hilleberg's advice and dig the tent down a bit if it's windy.

Nice video, just recently heard about woolpower, they seem to make good stuff ! Would you say the woolpower 200 is warm enough to gain a few °C. I am being a bit cold in my quilt below 5 and I am looking for a wool layer that would be warm enough !

Never designed as a “work” glove, if you use the right tool for the job these gloves will last years. Come on you guys try doing some research before venting hot air!!!😡

Very informative. Will not be getting WP 600 now as strangely enough I want something that's very warm and durable, but based on your view and the comments, it will not last long if used regularly. Will be looking at Devold clothing though, looks very warm and well made. Doggo btw enhanced the video! Thank you for taking the time to do this video, brother!

That is like boiled wool if you know what I mean. Very warm.

Hi Phil, great video! Just wanted to ask some advice. I managed to clog my omnifuel after not having it that long and have cleaned and is working again now. Now when i prime it there is about a 4-5 second delay before petrol starts to spray when i open the hose. Is this normal filling time of line or is something likely blocked still?

Wonderful dogs thanks for harness explanation.

Two years later, do you still like and use this pad? I'm thinking abut buying a STS extreme since the Thermarest xtherm is very uncomfortable for me, but my main concern is if the STS extreme is warm enough for temps down to -30 C?

Very good video.

I saw your first video and this just confirms it, I will not get them, I want to have a pair of glover to handle hard task.Thanks for the up load!

Just to be fair - the more the amount of water, the longer it retains heat.

Hi Philipp, I've enjoyed watching and reading your contents a lot, thanks for sharing your lifestyle, as well as gear reviews. I'm curious whether you will normally wear waterproof socks in such weather and trail condition shown in this video? Never been to Europe, so I couldn't tell the temp you hiked through in this trip watching you went through fog, muds and snow with light clothes in the middle of summer😂. I wonder whether you still feel comfortable to have a day hike with the trail runner plus waterproof socks setup under a 5 degree C temperature and wet condition onto a partial gravel partial paved route with mild ups and downs? I am now living in Singapore, avg daytime temp here is over 30 deg C throughout a year, along with a pouring rain every other day during a rain season. I've tested it's ok to cycle into a heavy rain with a thin pair of non-waterproof socks, because the rain will stop in an hour most of the time and the sun will torch again to make my synthetic socks mild wet until I arrive home. However, I'm still interested to try thin waterproof socks on the bike in tropical weather for the preparation of a multi-day cycling trip in Malaysia :D

Toppits freeze bags... interesting ... What size/type are you using exactly? 3 litres? I tried several types of trash bags in the past and while they did work initially they also ripped after a couple of hours due to mechanical stress. 🤔

Nice review.Can I ask for the size of the items?Thanks

Never seen your videos before. You seem like a legit fun guy to hangout with. Laughing at the end about frozen boots... light hearted people are the ones you want to share those experiences with.

i just like how someone finally says "shit" as something to organise for to make winter camping half pleasant

I don't have any that new but have a small collection of vintage vacuum bottles from Thermos, Stanley, Uno-Vac going back to 1911 I think. Those old ones have fired porcelain linings. This was before stainless steel existed. The stoppers were corks. Almost all of them are still great at holding temperatures. Some have lost their vacuum and don't work. The old ones hold heat better, but the trade off is the neck is very small compared to the newer ones, so they are much harder to clean. The wide mouth food models, no matter the era just lose too much heat through the large stopper/lid/cap. So you'll only get about 4 hrs of soup in normal climates. In yours? It will certainly be worse. You can make them last longer by not letting them lay on their sides, and wrapping them up with other good insulating materials. To get the maximum out of them, you must fill them with boiling water and let them set for a few minutes prior to filling them with your hot contents. It makes a huge difference. If you can handle the size and weight, Stanley makes a thermal cooker that would allow you to cook multiple courses and keep them hot while cooking the next part of the meal. I have some Japanese Thermos brand "Cook and Carry" or "Shuttle Chef" thermal cookers that have an internal cooking pot the you use as normal on any stove, then when you get to a boil, you put it in the vacuum insulated carrier. As you mentioned, get the size you need, as any insulated vessel performs best when full.

Awesome video! Don't change a thing!

We've had the same problem with this plastic cover, but asked Stanley service center if that issue could be fixed somehow, and they send another cup to us. With the newer one issue is not happening for now. 2 years passed already, and no problems for now. I've never tried food flasks from Stanley, but after this video probably will not buy them. Thanks for review!

I have some Woolpower clothes (200,400 and 600), but to be honest they don't appear warm to me at all. It is of terrible quality as well, it pills up within a week and holes form by just looking at it. Never again for me.

Hello! What brand is that cotton jacket?

Nice video! What happened with the white Dometic? XD

Fantastic video, good editing. Made me cry, what a sweet boy!

Thanks!

Boring

Thank you for the video, I was considering getting a 1.9l , but I haven’t considered the loss of heat on bigger sizes

I’m very late to this video but i’m curious where you got those crocs?, they look a lot more ”premium” with a strap like that instead of Having that normal foam strap

Lupine is good.

Beautiful

Cool review thanks bro love your set up

The issue with the "shitty attachment" of the pump is fairly normal. The gaskets around the pump connector dry out and wear out. You can replace/maintain them by opening the little screw and lifting up the silver locking tab. Then you can pull out the connector, and either re-grease the gasket with silicone grease or change it and grease it. It should recover its tightness. Just remember the screw is in plastic, so try to find the old thread before screwing it in, and "easy does it". On really early ergo-pumps (with black top and bottom), the locking tab was held by a pin behind the connector rather than a screw, and could not be dismantled. These older models had 2 gaskets and when they did wear, leaving your pump leaky. You can McGyver the repair, but it's not easy (best being to drill the pin out with a column drill and replace it with something removable. I made a clip from piano wire) As for the pump's leather cup, if you wipe (I use a baby wipe) and re-lube it regularly, you may almost never need to change it (my Omnifuel, while not seeing as regular use as yours, has the same one for 20 years now...) Finaly, your remark about lack of power when bottle nears empty: liquid fuel is nearly incompressible, while air is VERY compressible. That means that you need to pump in increasingly large amount of air when the fuel level reduce. It's not linear. Lack of power just means you did not build enough pressure in the bottle, so get pumping. Having to pump 50x, 70x or more in a nearly empty bottle is perfectly normal. :)

All your content is amazing ! Don`t stop! :)
