tie a carabiner on the other end then you dont need the bolan .......

Mines not turning on

I just got this. And the blade deploy seems pretty stiff, at least compared to my other speed safe actions, was yours stiff?

Great review! This is an awesome backpack. My wife and I travel a lot to various international destinations and do hiking on many of them. My travel backpack is the 40-liter Farpoint, but I take the 20-liter Daylite Plus (emptied out) in my carry-on bag and use it for the hikes. It is great for carrying the camera, hiking poles, hydration pack, snacks, light jacket and towel.

2 cam jams on both ends will eliminate any not tying.

It’s a great all round light useful for all kinds of situations. You can bypass the RL feature using long press so it does it all.

This is going to live in my tech trouble shooting bag, if I need it for more than 2 hours please send help I'm probably stuck somewhere

Nice review, Matt.. could you please do a review on the Osprey Parsec 26?

Can't you just switch to standard mode? Also, it does have red light. Or did they introduce these new features later? Watching this in 2024...

He has to be a troll or really just doesn't understand how life works

A manual deploy inflatable is a waste. And an automatic inflatable is a pain replacing cartridges. And you’re speaking like a guy that’s never gone unexpectedly unconscious. Heat stroke, heart attack, flying Asian carp. All survivable IF you don’t drown. That jacket is for when you don’t expect something to happen.

Its for trail running, hiking etc. Not for a campsite

You can turn the reactive off.

Another reviewer who doesn't understand the product and what it is designed for. I still have the original from 10 years ago

Thanks for the review! How would you compare the back ventilation & sweat resistance of this pack versus the Hikelite or any equivalent bag with an AirSpeed framed back?

So you're paying the extra money for 1000 lumens but she only get it for 45 seconds. I'll pass

Wow. Just turn off the reactive feature if you don’t care for it or don’t need it, turn it on when you do. 🤦‍♀️

This video shows how you know your stuff when things go towards outdoor activities. Well done ! A few things for you... "APS-C" means "Advanced Photo System type-C". The APS was a negative film system invented to revive the analog cameras, and give the audience an alternative to the 24×36 mm (also called 35 mm, due to the edge-to-edge width) that would cost less and be somewhat easier to operate. Indeed it was... cartridge, with not film sticking out, dropped into the camera through an opening, then close the camera... then snap your images. But the quality was awful for a simple reason : the negative was half the size of the 24×36 mm ones, and films used were of a lower definition/sensitivity/dynamic/etc. This system survived a few years before being dropped by its own creators. The digital sensors nicknamed "APS-C" have approximately the same size (around 16×24) but new technologies make them excellent. Its nos surprise to find many higher-end cinema cameras equipped with them. In the ARRI range several models are sold over 80000 USD (with no lenses, no batteries, no peripherals),and this says a lot about those sensors. Sublime, when well designed and conceived. Calling them "cropped" is a marketing ideology to let the public think they are of a less quality. Not. At all ! They have some weaknesses, like any tool. I work with such a camera, professionally, and used to work with another with a yet smaller sensor. These are tools, one just needs to know how to use them... that's it. Now a truth, very few would admit : even sensors nicknamed "full frame" are cropped. Because the only full-size sensors are the 20×30 cm ones taylor-made for special purposes, such as science, medical, industry, space,and the likes. They were designed to replicate the quality of "photographic plaques", the ones invented in the early years of photography, and still in use by those who work in architecture, landscape, art and want the absolute best images possible. It takes 10 minutes to set one up, then you change the plaque for the next image, etc. Those are THE ONLY "full frame" images sensors, and they now existe in digital versions but you may never see one in your entire life for they are super rare. No... more than this ! So, unless your camera sensor measures a huge 20×30 centimeters, which I doubt, you know it actually is cropped. Let the others think they have a "full frame" camera, because you now know it's not true and a marketing trap. Then, nice try with the word "accoutrements"... you nearly got it right. One important detail about French words : final letters are muted in 99% of the time. And it stands true for this one, the final "t" and "s" must remain silent. They are (t) the trace of roman roots and (s) the mark of plural form. So... you can try again, with that new skill of yours. 👏🙂

1: Flush mount pole holders are not an issue. I am glad they don't have them. Now I can buy one's straight up or angled, then install them wherever I want to. 2: Be nice to have the center hatch more flush with the floor. Maybe have a channel around it deeper to drain the water away. Problem is when one has a tackle box or anything sitting on the floor in front of the seat. Things always want to slide off to the side. 3: Be nice to have a more open floor area. Also, around under the seat. 4: Front hatch needs to be large like the Radar 135. Although larger hatches have a tendency to leak easier. 5: Not really a fix issue with the company. I don't have a rudder installed yet. But when I custom build and install one. I do plan on routing my up/down cord more internal, a straighter alignment. Never liked the looks of all the cords down the side. They get hooked on things and stretched out of place. Bungees loose strength and sun rot in short time.

well this advice went to the way side as of last week when the army vet was attacked by a grizzly and the bear bit the bear spray container he was holding and saved his life when she was point blank sprayed with the spray into her mouth and nose. bear spray is very effective in most conditions

I'm about buy A PETZL Swift RL for £67, $120 is somewhat excessive I would Not fork out.

Am I the only one with auto gen captions in Korean instead of English?

Have you tried the Raptor Extended Fit version? That's what I'm looking into.

I just got the 13.5 brand new on a clearance deal for $950. After a couple river trips im definitely lookong at getting the beaver tail. They're a little price gougy, almost $300 for the beaver tail kot for $300. One of the first things i got was a yak attack cup holder. I couldn't believe there wasnt any good spots to put a thermos on this thing

Led lenser is king of light

Рогозин теперь на Ютубе ножи обзирает?

That was helpful

Why would I have my headlamp on if I was sitting around a campfire?

So, you bought the wrong headlamp for your use case scenario and now you're telling other people not to buy it? Makes sense... not.

Do you like this bag better than your talon 22?

This video came up whilst I was looking for reviews on the Lowepro creator bag before I commit. To be honest I think you've sold me on the Osprey bag too! Thanks for this video Matt.

It’s good for about a year or two but after the slide gets extremely loose and becomes annoying

This Video is proof you shouldn’t listen to KZbinrs .

Soooooo nice I ordered them twice :) Osprey can not go wrong.

You really need to check your product before reviewing. The reactive lighting can be easily turned off into normal mode. I am a hiker and this is an awesome light, better than my previous Ledlenser. It is lightweight, easy to use and very user friendly. Your review is misleading and incorrect. I hope people read more reviews than this one! 👎

so you said its 2,000 or 200, well thats not true, as you hold the button to lower the lumens it will fade from 2,000 to 200. and you can stop at any lvl you want. so its not one or the other..

HEY BUDDY...KASTKING IS A GREAT BRAND...

No offense dude, but your complaints are ridiculous. The reactive lighting sounds like a bad idea, but you can then the feature off. And since there are only 2-3 different settings for the light intensity, pressing the power button three times to turn the light off isn’t a problem unless you are the laziest human being on the planet. And to compare this product to a Petzl Actic Core lamp that produces only 300 lumens is just plain silly. One headlamp produces way more light than the other. They are radically different products. Justifying your comparison by saying that “300 lumens is enough in the dark” is downright intellectually lazy on your part. More lumens, as you may (or may not) know, means not only brighter light, but greater range. Some people like having things further away illuminated. And yes, the battery running down quickly is part of life, but at least the RL gives you the option to have more light when you need it.

Great review, think I bought mine for the same reason of being more intentional with what I pack. I was surprised to learn it can hold my 16 inch M1 laptop, just not without a case.

Cost for battery spare may be an issue, but the swift battery 2x capacity of the core. To me, cycling to off is trivial issue, I’m more concerned about lack of charge port cover. And you can just decide mode when you turn on. Quick press for reactive, one second press for standard. Simple.

HI, I put the Rhino Rack T-Loader in the curt hitch that is very loose and shaking.Do you have same situation? Do you know how to make the T-Loader more stable? Thanks

Your Rapala scale is in hundredths and your kitchen scale is in pounds and ounces. They are both reading the same.

Where did you get the mount system for the fish finder ? And how do you experience monitoring the screen while using the petal drive ?

Unisex bag with shoulder straps designed for women. The center strap is too high up on mens' chests. Near the neck. Not comfortable. I like the bag, but will have to buy a non unisex bag. Or grow some boobs so I can be happy the shoulder straps come no where near my chest. This bag is best suited to smaller men and women.

The reactive feature is amazing! if I don't want it to dim I will simply just turn it on without the reactive feature on it can do both.

😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow, what a great video, I like watching it, keep up the enthusiasm, keep up the good work, friends🎉😁

great video! you have convinced me to go lithium. Question for you though, do they make “marine grade” female spade terminals? Most of the lithium batteries Ive seen have the spade style terminals. Most of the videos Ive been watching tell you to run 10 or 12 gauge marine wire to your electronics and the terminals Ive seen them using are large for that size wire, but they’re all hooking them up to full size batteries. Any info would be appreciated.

Everyone keeps bashing the price. What’s the warranty on your sla? Is it 11 years like the Dakota? The life of the lithiums are 4 times longer or more. You get more power per dollar from a lithium ion. As for weight in a kayak, IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY PERFECT SENSE! IT MAKES SENSE FOR A GOD DAMN CRUISER OR A DINGY TO LOWER WEIGHT. Personal opinions on cost shouldn’t inspire reviews on function. But I guess that’s why you’re still 4200 subs and making nothing for your review

happy to hear about this 😊 nice video
