Went to REI planning to get a North Face Surge. This brand/bag wasn’t even on my radar, but like you, it caught my eye, and for me, this bag seemed better in every way, and the zippers being covered is a nice bonus too.

This was helpful, thank you 🙏

Update? How’s it working?

must be nice to be on that 100% military disability pay lifestyle

What’s funny to me is I have never been to an airport that wants me to take out my laptop

Isn't this and the Tropos pretty much the same?

It's called patina. If you've actually been using it for 1+ year and it looked pristine, I'd be sus about your actual time using it.

Awesome! Ive gone through about 3 or 4 pairs of Joomra's which have the same outsole as those first two Whitin's. (Running obvioualy wears them down quicker.) For my first 3 pairs I took the insole out, but Ive noticed that leaving the insole in actually adds quite a few miles to the outsole if you want them to last longer

Have you used it as a travel backpack? You mentioned electronics, what about just clothes for Europe trip?

Does it fit under the plane seat?

How does this hold up in rain?

Great views of the pockets and compartments. I couldn’t find a video with this shown so well. And thanks for getting straight to the points! Well done video.

Keep us posted please

Love the format, keep it up man!

You should buy tactical 7 pro

What color is the one you showed?

How to contact you for collabration

We need a update video 😄

Magnetized ?

I had the same issue with a Fenix 6. I ended up swapping it for the Fenix 6 pro which has been problem free. Garmin said it was to do with the software and my location being Australia. I was able to manually offset the compass to resolve this issue but chose not to as I wanted a default set compass to work. I’d say your issue is due to where you purchased the watch vs where you are using it.

Bummer it has not working well

Hi mate, I have started doing extensive research into the Garmin smart watches as the Epix Gen 2 Pro Sapphire really appealed to me also. I recommend that you take a look on the Garmin user forum. They are pushing "Beta" software updates that are inferior and cause issues in reliability to the Original product that was sold to consumers. If I was you relying on highly accurate and detailed GPS co-ordinates while hiking through South America, I have already been put off from purchasing this watch after your experiences with it.

これは素敵なbagです。見かけた時とても惹かれました。

Old and slow tech, You have to be out of your mind to buy garmin when other companies like samsung with the "ultra" are half the price that can be traded in after years of use and updated....garmin does not support their products nearly as well as samsung. Dont get stuck with a $1000.00 paper weight like I did....garmin customer service is the worst.

No problems here.

I toyed around with the idea of a 'travel' vest with many pockets. Yeah, will look like a photographer, but then no man-bag. However, the vest idea falls down in stinky hot summers - it's another layer you don't want. Plus, if you have to change for whatever reason, you gotta empty out all the pockets.

Ok, so the compass reading on the watch has been buggy. But what about recorded GPS tracks? Were those accurate, or buggy too? Geo-location via GPS does not rely on compass. Hence the curiosity on the quality of the position tracks from recorded activities on the watch. Hope the compass issue stays away on your watch.

include some tubes of blood stop powder

Awesome video and lots of good luck in your travels. Could there be a possibility that you got a counterfeit product ? I am from South America and stores sell a lot of counterfeit products. My family still lives in South America, they love apple products and they always wait to come to the U.S. to buy them since they don't want to have the possibility of buying a counterfeit products.

Great Review! Just ordered mine after watching this. Question --- What zipper pull is that? I am assuming from Amazon?

Sorry for your bad experience. I live in São Paulo, Brazil. I had Forerunner 245, 255, 955, Fenix 7x SS, all of them always worked perfectly. I just acquired an Epix Pro 51mm less than a week. So far I've already done some street running and one 4 hour trail running in a mix of open sky area and close woods area. GPS in automatic selection. South America Topoactive map. GPS is working perfect. Have you tried to change the watch itself with Garmin dealer? I believe it's a problem of the watch. Good luck. And congrats for your videos. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I have been very happy with mine - and I tend to be rough on my equipment. (Also a vet and deployed twice). I used the Nebula on the spanish camino pilgrimage trail 500 miles and it held out fine - in fact a lot better than I anticipated. Thank you also for your review on the lowa shoes - I have been looking into new hard wearing shoes and you just pushed me in the right direction.

Why should I trust your opinion? You believe Trump won the 2020 election and all his other lies? If you believe in lies and conspiracies, why trust your reviews?

I was actually considering the alpaca elements tech Mini case until I saw your review of this one and I’m thinking to myself. This is also a viable option, but I guess it will depend on how many items I carry. Would you say this would be a good every day essentials bag to carry around or do you think it’s big enough or too big for what I’m thinking of? Thank you very much.

Great review man! I have the recon and I'm second guessing it now lol. Does it stand on its own??

Thank you for the informative review. Eyeing the 8th anniversary version of this bag, this vid really helps a lot answering questions I have about this bag

PPS. I'm no expert either, and also adding extra comments (rather than in a single thread) to help your channel in the algorithm.

re fire - nothing with compressed gass can be flown (in theory), so flints might be best... but in cabin (pressurized) a lighter is often ok (if off the shelf, and not like a Zippo with fuel fumes leaking)

100% a foil shelter blanket...

re bandages - depends where you are and what you are doing. Here in Australia they are more to restrict subdermal poison flow, so you need to wrap from the snake bite point, down and then back up - say 1.5 a full leg.

PS a metal whittle is BAD is cold climates...

Great video. even if you are not getting lots of views - this content is fantastic, so subscribed and hop you keep it up :-)

So for the first aid look at getting a mini medication mod from My Medic that would be good in a pinch for travel to have a good array of commonly used medications with you and its small. That and a travel tube of Tylenol or Ibuprofen , because headaches/bodyaches suck. For trauma stuff the swat T works, a snakstaff systems EDC tourniquet would definitely fit in your kit and would be more in line with a CAT in terms of design, that and throw in a mini compression bandage. As far as survival items, a Sawyer mini can easily attach to a standard water bottle. That or look at Cana provisions for their decon kit for water purification. a mini bivy would be good to throw in there as a shelter in a pinch compounded with a mylar blanket. As far as fire you may be able to do a bic lighter, but a farrow rod along with that knife would work too.

Does it have a hole or cutout at the top so you could put a water bladder in it?

What size is this watch please and what’s your wrist size not that it makes any difference to its performance

Thank you for sharing… and I value your opinion

I use mesh side pockets to pack gloves one side and hat the other for speedy access. This bag would mostly be used as a day pack, cinched down. But I guess tightened bottom compression straps would make the mesh pockets more difficult to use?

I've owned a Nebula 34L since 2019, and it's still on 9/10 condition, it only has some minor wear on the mesh and on the straps, but nothing has broken, and the elastic pockets still work as new. I bought last week this 32L model, but mainly because I like the overall look and colors a little bit more, and the mesh pockets seem much more spacious and practical than the older model. Still, my old Nebula could have served me for many more years, I don't think you should worry about the durability too much

probably needs a software update something could be corrupt

Hi, be simple like this and you will rock soon.
