When people carry luxrul bags in real life, they don't have the time or opportunity to look closely at the bag to spot such a great knockoff

I used to be really into XPAC, but I've run into similar issues with how it wears over time, so I've switched back to other materials like ripstop nylon or with Alpaka, their axoflux fabric, feels like it's more abrasion resistant without a lot of loss of water resistance. great review!

Thanks. I just started making gear reviews, but I have always wanted to share my opinions. Xpac was fine for a while, but as I said, I do abuse my products. If one wanted to keep it nice, they probably could.

Nice video mate. I have seen a similar thing (gps & compass issues)with the Fenix 7 Pro, 7S Sapphire & 7X pro Solar in my hikes/runs. Keep crushing it mate! Just a heads up that I’m getting much better gps performance in the Fenix 8.. no issues as of yet

Garmin makes some cool products, I hope they can get flawless performance in the future. Happy the Fenix 8 is working for you.

My epix pro gen 2 51mm sapphire is the best watch I've ever had. And believe me, I've had a few. Yours must be defective

The Garmin watches comes with electronic compass (used as standalone simple compass) and a gps compass (used in maps/navigation etc.). Can you check if you have the same problems with finding North when you are using navigation with gps. I think is a problem with your watch, because I'm sure there are many Garmin users in south hemisphere too and if is a general problem with compass in that part of the globe, it should have been a huge scandal.
@PreparedToWander 9 күн бұрын
It's worth testing. But as my compass is (more) reliable now, it will be harder to test the difference between standalone and GPS functions.
@Natan9000 10 күн бұрын
Have absolutely 100% different experience. GPS compass navigation all works perfect since I have the watch. Even finds routes on the topoactive maps that arent on Google Maps or Apple Maps. Edit: to be fair I haven’t been in South America but a friend of mine has been and had no issues there either..

It's entirely possible that I just got a bad product. Maybe just bad luck. But I can't say for sure because it's so inconsistent.

might have been a defective unit, but, the issue with gps accuracy happened to me in australia with my iphone. i tend to believe that gps doesn't work as good when you are south of the equator

Look at Jim green for all terrain minimalist shoes, their barefoot African ranger is great. For water resistance I wax them, but that does darken the leather, suede spray works okay as well. They're also resoleable
@PreparedToWander 13 күн бұрын
I've been doing research on those lately. I'm hesitant to go with full leather boots because of the maintenance and care involved; i.e. waxing, etc. That's why I was so happy that the leather on these Lowa shoes held up well with practically zero care.

@@PreparedToWander I've owned fully leather upper boots and shoes for a long time now. It doesnt require much maintenance. At most you want to recondition/wax the leather once a year, and it's a 30-minute job at most

Honestly, it looks fine. There's nothing wrong with wear and tear on your gear, it shows that it gets used and hold up. It shows you've been places and done things.

When I bought this I was also looking at the Vanquest Dendrite. It has similar high visibility interior color, and similar pockets/organization. I don't have any personal experience with that Dendrite sling bag, but my Vanquest backpacks are built super-tough. (reviews on those to come when I get back home).

Mountain Smith has the drift, and it looks pretty nice. Eberlestock has the Bando Bag, looks comparable to this pack and Eberlestock is a pretty trusted brand.

@@tactikiller Agreed with Eberlestock as a good brand. I was looking at their HiSpeed bag for international travel but it turned out to be too heavy and bulky for urban use. Great for outdoor activity. I have the FAC Track and it's built like a tank; it's in storage with my SHTF supplies.

@@PreparedToWander I ran the FAC for truck camping and it was just too heavy. I couldn't pack into it what I wanted to. A comfortable shelter/sleep system (tarp/hammock/under quilt/blanket), food, and spare clothes. Even empty it's heavier than I'd prefer, when packed I wouldn't want to wear it any longer than I had to. Swapped out to the Alps Mountaineering Nomad 75 and I'm much happier with it. Light weight and hold my needs.

@@tactikiller I understand. It's a tradeoff of durability for comfort. I did a 2 night backpacking trip with the FAC and it was killing me. But I know it will survive anything. Now I'm using a 75 liter Osprey and it's good for urban use.
