Here in Sweden they sell them at a sports store called XXL. They are my go-to for every type of hiking or camping even though they are a bit pricey.

There are a lot of advantages to the sea-to-summit tent. But... I think the disadvantage of water seeping under the fly over the vent is a problem that must be solved.

I have the old tunnel version one, Quechua quickhiker ultralight 2, I've slept there with my partner before and we plan to trek in Iceland Highlands in a few weeks with that tent. Hopefully will be good enough against winds and rain

How durable does it feel? I mean did you seat comfortable or feel like it gonna break at any moment? Does it worth it?

Thank you for this informative and honest review! I’ve been using various Patagonia items for running year round along the shores of Lake Michigan; sub zero temps to hot and humid, and for just daily wear. Most of my Patagonia running gear is well over a decade old and used for thousands of miles of mixed running, hiking and daily - and they are still fantastic! And they have a real life-time warranty the Patagonia honors!

Great advice, thank you!

Great point!! - "you can sit on it in your tent"

the answer can be religion, marriage, army, addiction, and well bad camp gear purchase

38,5 and 39,5 two different sizes and half sizes to boot … I win! 😂

That was an excellent review of the Altaplex! The list of cons together with examples was very honest and useful. Now I understand how water can potentially get in during rain while you're sleeping. It's also good to understand about a potential condensation shower with a single wall tent. I currently have a Big Agnes Copper Spur UV UL2 which I love, and it's really a bombproof tent, but it's heavy, takes up a lot of room in my pack, and after a hard day of hiking and I'm tired, it's more cumbersome to set up, especially if it's windy. I've been seriously considering adding an Altaplex to my backpacking options for longer, multi day hikes to lighten my load and enable a fast setup, and it's good to know the cons so I can at least be forewarned and better prepared to manage them. The cons won't deter me from making the purchase, but I'm now able to do so with my eyes wide open.

The only tent that impressed me so much that i need to reconsider paying double the price for one from that video.( There is half weight one , somewhere like 20kg one ? Same sruff but smaller)

I have had a R&M Multicharger Touring package (derailleur & double batteries) for 4 years and ride it constantly. I have about 9500 on the clock. The only issues I've encountered are due to overloading the bike because I weight 320 lbs and anything I carry puts me over spec. I am about to install my third rear wheel rim I found that an old Novaro rear trunk bag worked perfectly on on the front rack to carry incidentals. I also found that the front rack is perfect for take out food containers when used with a cargo net. I have taken the bike on several multiple day tours and it has never failed me.

Great video ! Thanks

With your voice, I think you should start an ASMR channel 👏

Thank you for this beautifil Video from the Lee trail . As a Luxembourger i really appreciate it! For me the beautifulst trail here!

So what would i wear on .my legs mid summer/monsoon season in tropical japan?

Does it require i use a mummy bag shaped pad?

I had an older Spot version (2018) which had only one button on top and now I have the new version with two buttons on top. Even though it might sound simpler to have just one button I actually prefer the new version with the two buttons and find it more intuitive. It's simple really: one button changes the mode function, the other on and off or dimm when holding. It's not complicated at all. The side button is a feature of black diamond for instant max power output if you need it without going through the dimming process. It's quite easy to use

Stupid mistake at 06:25 - The name is Eric, not Bruno 🤦‍♂. Sorry Eric, we owe you a beer next time we cross paths!

Great tips! Thanks for the very well produced video!

I like to mix it up to lose weight to avoid burnout. Hiking is definitely my favorite, but I like to mix it up with kayaking, Mt. Biking, and walking. I also have a collapsible fishing pole which makes hiking even more fun. There's ponds and rivers near almost all the trails near me.

Nice never pay rent never homeless just 10k for a homeowner easy Bebe i can live where i want

I just did a section of this today (23/05/24) from Kautenbach to Clervaux which is 24km and took me 7 hours 25 minutes including a few small breaks. I took the train from Luxembourg City, got off at Kautenbach and came back from Clervaux. There were also two other stations in between so if you didn't want to do the whole 24km stage you could just jump on the train at either of them to come back too. The way is very well signposted. And of course all public transport in Luxembourg is free :)

Black Diamond should have got +10 for the touch feature that took 12 seconds to learn from the manual. Being able to toggle between a dimming level that I set and full brightness w/spot turned out to be a godsend in actual practice when a hike took longer than expected and we spent a couple hours trying to find camp in the dark. "Is that it? (Tap) Nope. (Tap)". The battery on any sane brightness level just wrecks the competition as well. You only tested max "turbo" runtime. 3 days of use with 4-6 hours of hiking in the dark only took it down 1 bar. It could easily last weeks of normal use around camp before needing a charge.

Excellent, thorough review and discussion!

Thanks for details

Have one, I also have the camp stove. Both are very well build and quite useful in form and functionality.

And cults LMAO

Ik wil deze route graag doen, maar vind het erg jammer dat kampvuur nu verboden is :(

Honestly the difference in size was night and day for me, I couldn't sit in the zero chair without feeling like I was on the verge of toppling over

Nice insight. I tested both and found that for comfort of dual insulated vestibules and more headroom, the extra 200 g of the dome are worth it. The tunnel inner tent cannot be easily separated which makes it difficult to dry in the morning. If you happen to have slugs or snails that crawled in-between the inside and outside tent it's more cumbersome too. It is really really fast to set up and pack because of this though.

Zpacks leads in innovation. Unfortunately, it also leads in awful quality and equally awful quality control. On the Altaplex, I’m 6’5 and on a 3” pad my feet touched and my head was about 2” from the canopy. My quilt was in constant contact throughout every night. More irritatingly was the fact that if I leaned up, the canopy was very much on my shoulder. Bluntly, it was impractical for someone my size. Marketing this to tall people is non-sense. That said….I’d love a one-trekking pole shelter, just longer and wider. Good video.

For me the mental part is so so important, because high intensity interval training is just in a gym full of people, and without the smell of nature, the good air quality, the views, the plants and flowers, etc.

hi. black diamond can easy turn on red light mode if headlamp steel off - just press and hold mode button

You should read the manual if your willing to spend $75. They are the best features I know of.

Hi There! How long does it take to set up?

I reckon they're a good thrift. If you're lucky they're sold as a normal hoodie. I've got a few IceBreaker bargains so far including from the outlet store far less than 30-50 euro equivelent.

Turmat is a norwegian word and literally just means “hiking food”

Very informative video! I'm going to be travelling from Ireland and in Luxembourg for four nights at the end of May and want to try and do two separate day hikes if possible. I was thinking maybe Mullerthal 2 and part of this one from Ettelbruck to Goebelsmühle possibly. Which would you say it busier in terms of other hikers? Also if you could only choose one which would you choose? Thanks!

Thanks for this review! I'm worried about the odour as I've heard it can be quite bad with this material/weave configuration. Did you feel that it got worse than other sun hoodies?

Complimenten voor je mooie engels !

I have the same jacket and I love it.....

Just bought this tent. We are going to 2 Sandaya's over the summer holidays, first time in a tent as a family. We were going for the tipi originally, but seeing them both set up next to one another at our local decathlon, it was kind of a no brainer. Wish us luck lol xD

How wide is the narrowest portion? Anyone get stuck in there😅

Bedankt voor uw video Ik wil deze route van de zomer lopen! thx!

Nice review, honest too. I got mine sent over to the uk 5 years ago, was pretty expensive, thought we had a trade deal with the US. I've used it a lot over the years up in the highlands of scotland and various other places and on the whole it has performed quite well in bad weather, the condensation is a big issue and i ended up using a bivvy bag with my sleeping bag to protect it. Its definitely not as long as advertised, im 6"2 and find once i have my sleep system set up my head and feet almost touch the walls, dyneema is slippery too, i have found my big agness sleep pad slips from under me at night which is a bit annoying. I guess the biggest selling point is how light it is and the fact its only a shelter, not designed to spend a lot of time in.

Hello, fellow Belgian hiker here, Just came across your channel and love the flow and general ambiance of your videos, good editing style, straight to the point and informative comments all the whilst covering a wide array of gear and subjects. You gain a subscriber, your channel seems very underrated here on KZbin! Anyways, i was wondering how you go about the rules against wild camping in Belgium, i'm sure you are aware of the existing "Paalkampeer" spots or "Bivakzones". But these are really limited in Belgium and rarely link up with a nice trail. So i was wondering as a fellow Belgian outdoor fanatic how you tackle this? Granted i travel with tents mostly not a camper or car. On the web other hikers in Belgium have mixed experiences, from a "boswachter" chasing out campers to "boswachters" offering a slice of pizza. The rules and regulations about wildcamping/"wildkamperen" are very, very vague in our legislation, it seems. 70% of people i do hear saying things like "you'll be fine, they tolerate it" to things like: "You'll get fined and sent away in the middle of the night" So I'd like to hear your 2 cents on it.

Thanks for the video, i would like to ask.. how is it when keeping bugs/insect and cold out? I saw reviews on the 4.2 and it had some issues that I didn't like for instance between the bedrooms and the outer material there is the gap that anything can come in. The bottom of the door also does not close so any unwanted visitors can easily join the party! Thank you

Super nice review

HS Pedelec Not powerfull. 32/34 Kmh is what you get when low head wind . My former comut bike 36/38 Kmh whit Head wind. Seit 18 Januar 2024 super charger 3 hs rohloff Bike. Mein erstes neues s Pedelec . Hatte 2 mit mittelmotor.Letzter mit alfine11 nabe und riemen. Alles Top, nur er ist mir zu schwach. 32/34 Kmh erreicht man bei nur geringen gegenwind. Sonst 36/38 oder es wird anstrengend. Seit 2017 fahre ich immer 36/38 Kmh mit gegenwind. Und jetzt 31/32 Kmh und das bei Turbo-modus. Mir reicht es nicht zu langsam als Pendler . Das tacho ging 4 Kmh vor, nach 2 maal werkstatt etwas mehr als 1 Kmh vor. Bei Km 950 riemen rutschte auf einmal ein bischen durch. Hatte noch 12 Km nach Hause. Nach 8 Km Rutsche riemen durch,liegen geblieben, riemen abgefranst. Neuen riemen bekommen.
