The Salomon Forces might be a good choice.

You are 100% correct. It makes it very hard for non-tech people to use. You can use a paper map for crown land (World of Maps in Ottawa can print them) but you have to know how to use the grid and compass/landmarks etc. The property I used to hunt on had an ongoing dispute since it was surrounded by crown land and the owner had it marked with red paint on the trees. I purchased the map for the area and he asked if I could confirm his markers. 100% of the hunters I met had no idea how to use a compass or their GPS and constantly fought with the owner. All to say even when you have all the info, you may still fight with someone lol.

@@JuliusToltesi Thanks!

Thank you!

Held up great. No issues at all. I did sell both my kayaks for a canoe last summer but no issues at all during those times. Let me know how you like them.

Awesome will let you know for sure can’t wait to get back out on the water again

I think it might be tight especially if you are a side sleeper but that's just a guess :(. I'm 70 inches and this bag fits perfectly but is 32 inches wide at the shoulders.

I personally would save up for the down (0F -18C) instead of the synthetic, which would cover you from summer till early winter. You can always unzip it if you get hot in the summer. Even though the temperature rating is the same with synthetic and down I feel the down holds the heat better because of the loft and is compresses smaller.

@@JuliusToltesi im still going with synthetic, problem is the temperature rating are not iso tested, so perhaps it is a good idea to take something colder by 20F just to even things up?

@@yagamilight64 might be a good idea to be safe. Temps for Teton are survival ratings but everyone is different. In -40 in a tent I sleep in this bag with just a base layer.

@@JuliusToltesi wow i did not know that. Thank you

Hard to say as I find sometimes they can be off with years in-between. These fit me to size and I wear merino socks. But I have some Salomon summer hikes and I bought the same pair, same size and I should have gone up a half size. Altitude Sports (Canada) offers members free returns, so it might be a good idea to order 2 sizes.

I personally went a size bigger, it fits perfectly with thick socks

Thanks for your comment

Baffin.

Thanks!

The coldest I hiked in was -37F and my feet stayed warm while hiking and around camp. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYvHo5ZnecZpjMk

@@JuliusToltesi thank you for reconfirming!

@@guydivosta4075 My goodness, hope you’re doing OK.

@@gcruishank9663 doing alright thus far, mate. Thanks

Hey friend. Hope you're OK. If you get experience in the colder months, please share how your boots hold up. I pray you get home safe.

I would until they address the problem. Thanks for feeding the algorithm :)

There is already an updated version with extra stitches at the shown seam.

@@larsk7744 Thank you! I found the updated version! Also thank you, Julius!

It’s a 2001 Honda Rubicon TRX500 :)

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

It's good that they replaced them but hope they fix the issue since it's so common.

@@JuliusToltesi The replacement was the same as the first pair... I have just thrown the second pair in the bin. I could complain again as they are not a year old but I cannot be bothered. Going to buy a different brand now. Great boots when you first ge them but they dont last long. I could say the same about other Saloman boots as well.

True lol the screws would bite easily through the plastic.

@@JuliusToltesi Thank you! :)

I use the Grivel G10 on my boots

@@JuliusToltesi No issues with the heel fitting in? I have tried 2 brands of crampon, Camp and Black Diamond and neither allowed the heel of the Toundras to sit nicely between the vertical metal tabs in the back.

@@GetUpTheMountains I've only used them a few times in the Adirondacks and don't recall ever having a hard time or re-adjusting them. I could send a picture with them on if you want.

@@JuliusToltesi Indeed, the G10s and these boots are a match made in heaven. The upgraded version of the boot with the double stiching has permanently solved the seams problem. Perhaps a significant crampons tip for these specific boots: I would recommend the Grivel G10 WIDE version (not the standard one), as the front basket is considerably wider (to also accommodate snowboard boots)... Also, the G10s come with a flexible bar, as opposed to the G12s, G14s, and up, which come with a rigid bar. As these boots flex quite a bit, a rigid bar is NOT recommended as it may cause the boot to come off the crampon...

I still recommend them. I actually still have them both and use them every year. Its to bad they went up in price so much. As with everything. What's the clearance price?

@@JuliusToltesi 479 for the vanquish. I keep reading people talking about wilderness systems or Perception kayaks but they are so expensive. I have a 10ft Pelican and it's ok but I think it's too short for me.

@@JuliusToltesi How did it hold up? I worry those knee pads won't last

@@brunor78 The ones on the lip of the opening are still perfect. My knees usually don't touch them.

@@brunor78 Just bought a vanquish also, at Canadian tire at the 479 price a great price!

Hey :) I used it before the snow came to move around some fill I had in my yard. Worked very good. I filmed a bit but haven't put it together.

Thanks! I am trying to decide if the electric implement lift is worth it or if I should just get the manual one.

@@keithdillon2792 I think the manual one is lighter. Well it looks less bulky but is more work. You'll see in the next video how my bike really struggles to lift it.

@@JuliusToltesi did you add a suspension lock?

@@keithdillon2792 No, I have a straight axle so I didn't think I would need one but its a must.

No you can’t unless they made a left and right zip for this bag. As far as I know they haven’t yet in this line. They do make it in other lines though.

What I learned is that the newer version now have stitching around those seams, which is the version I have, so hopefully those will hold up better. I wore these with a thin Merino wool sock in -20C for a few hours and my feet were warm. I bought one full size up so made sure I have plenty of room for either thick socks or moisture liners or both. Seem like a good choice so far for winter camping/snowshoeing.

@@gcruishank9663 I have the stitched-seam version from 2 years ago. I've put lots of miles hiking and snowshoeing up mountains with them and my seams are holding up just fine.

@@GetUpTheMountains good to hear that, thanks.

Quale è la versione aggiornata?

@@MaurizioLaMarca the first version had a glued seam around the top of the toe that wasn’t stitched. There were a lot of reports of that seam splitting. The newer version holds up a lot better. These are great boots, very warm but like any winter boots order at least one full size up to give you lots of room for thick socks

Not that I'm aware of. If I see them on the shelf next time I'm shopping, I'll have a look.

@@JuliusToltesi Thank You very much!

Lol

Thank you for the compliment.

No game kit for me. I did add the poncho since doing the video. :)

@@JuliusToltesi Well 3 weeks without food.

@@tedsemonis7905 definitely need that if you're out that long lol.

@@JuliusToltesi Lost people can spend 3 to 28 days look up a lady called inch worm. she died on the trail. how do you know? and how far can you get with a broken bone?

​ @Ted Semonis Great points. Might be a good idea to add some line with a few hooks.

Depends on the application I guess. I think the plastic on these might be too thin for rivets. I think it might pull through before the pin broke. But not sure.

lol ;)

Hi, the song is called Run Run Run by Junge Junge.

No problem. Glad it was helpful.

I actually still haven’t used the kit. I use the stove all the time but since I mostly backpack, I still use the smaller one lol. I will however be using the kit this summer for a canoe trip in Killarney.

Hey. No, just a single plastic one.

@@JuliusToltesi i was looking at this kayak at canadian tire but was always sold out so im looking at a old town vapor12xt thats more expensive .. now i see there back in stock i dont know if i should just go with the pelican so save some $

@@CampingDad247 Saving some $$ is always good. Going to need that extra to go for gas lol. So far I'm still happy with them. Might be selling them to save for a Swift canoe though.

Ya, definitely survival rating. I started using a liner with my bags. Makes a big difference in warmth and comfort. Plus it's easier to wash the liner. I'm actually saving up for this bag but the down version. Pound lighter and will compress a bit smaller.

Ya. I personal sent them the video and the said they sent it to the proper department. Not sure how true it is but not much can be done. I hope my video reaches people before they buy. It looks like the forces boot has a better stitch. I’m actually going out tomorrow winter camping and still use them. They are warm. I hope I can find someone that can repair them so they last a bit longer.

It will be very difficult to repair them, since two different materials are connected there - a soft nose with a hard almost plastic side part and it is almost impossible to flash them, since the density is different and you can’t crawl from the inside - there is a continuous layer of insulation! The seam is a little different on the new version of the boots, but even the new version already has complaints. For quality, they generally had to make a transition from the nose to the sidewall from a single piece of material. Now I'm thinking of getting a model from Baffin for mountain climbing instead. It is much heavier, but there is thick and natural nubuck and it is cast, seamless! I am very sorry, I had to return the Tundra - it was very light and technologically advanced!

Got mine over a month ago and loving them; don't want to take them off my feet! Mine have beefed up double stiching running alongside that seam (probably an updated version) and after quite a few hikes (including in snow/ice with crampons on), they don't show any signs whatsoever of a coming apart seam... Most def I'd buy them again, they are DA BOMB! 💯 (Seriously though, not an exaggeration to say that they belong in the top 3 technical shoes I've ever owned.) As for how hot they are: in sub-freezing temps (alas, haven't been in less than -5C/23F, so far), I have yet to feel any cold, even when going into knee-deep snow for some distance... I even wear them at the office indoors, no problem with excessive heat/sweat in comfortable temps. 6 out of 5 stars for me (particularly for the price bought €150/$160)! 💪

@@CostaFlocas You won’t believe it (I still hardly believe it myself), but a few days later I returned to the store and took my Toundra Pro back :)) I thought and decided that I’m definitely among the models from other manufacturers with such light and warm shoes I won't find. By the way, mine is also from the updated model line and is also stitched on the sides with a double seam, but I don’t know if a double seam will give real increased reliability or is it just a fake from Salomon!

@@CostaFlocas That's good to hear. It looks like Salomon Forces have upgraded the stitching as well.

Thanks for letting me know. :) make sure you watch the updated video. I had to re-glue and add screws to the caps on the poles.
