Totally agree, this was a steal.

Interesting. Could you share why? I listed some possible reasons, so is your one of them?

@mountainsforeverybody just more comfortable,plus I seem to pack more in( not always a good idea with me) 🤭 I tend to pack quite well....Plus they seem heavier..

I never hike more than 15 miles at any one time..

@OldtricksForolddog This about packing more may make sense because the shape is not so rigid as in a framed pack, so I understand the point. And framed are expected to be heavier for obvious reasons.

@mountainsforeverybody but I need to take certain items..as I tend to camp (all the lightweight gear is too expensive), plus my medical equipment ..

Excellent price, I would not think twice. The same for X, on their site it is 410 E.

It will not fit, just measured, it is 60 x 31 cm.

​@@mountainsforeverybodythank you very much !!

Most welcome.

Most welcome.

Of course they would, there is nothing wrong with them. I was using them on a few mountaineering tours and soles are great for a rocky terrain. They will work great on the snow as well. The real problem is that the boots absorb water like a sponge, and you are not aware of it until it is late.

@@mountainsforeverybody I'm curious have tried Vessi shoes, their push advertising all over KZbin about their waterproof shoes.

@@balsalmalberto8086 I have not used them, but I would not trust anything they claim about waterproofness. They might be a few days until chemicals from the surface are washed out.

And DMC is?

@@mountainsforeverybody fans of your style of video. keep them coming they are great.

@@JackthornLife You made my day. Thank you.

Hi, design vs weight is a separate topic. This video and post is about capacity. I would not consider using a 50 L pack without a frame. But there are ultralight packs in the range you mentioned and with a frame, I had one in hands a few months ago, a pack from Zpacks. What to consider? Make a list of features that are essential for you and see if they are missing in such ultralight packs. Also check you budget.

@mountainsforeverybody well, yes, with my 2nd part suggestion I meant another video. Thank you for answer!

@@hoellenhund1000 I met an Italian in the Alps who was using a Zpacks pack, incredibly expensive but very advanced. He was totally delighted with its performance, but admitted it was too expensive, a modular design where you can add various features by ordering elements separately. I think he mentioned something around $550 or so. Worth considering if you are willing to pay, start from a minimal configuration and then build it up as you like.

Hope it was useful.

I am happy to hear that it was useful. There are more videos of that type here, and new are coming.

Very true, most I know, same for straps, but some great manufacturers do an awful job even making their own explanatory videos

I hope it was useful.

Hi 1. The same size, but I am pretty sure Mammut boots are narrower. Cannot directly compare now because I threw away Salomon boots last year when I was in the mountains, they served me great but they were too old. 2. Yes, I was using them last summer on several tours in the Dolomites, lots of snow on high mountains even till the end of July. You can see one of the tours here: mountainsforeverybody.com/climbing-tofana-di-dentro-by-bivacco-barraca-degli-alpini-route On this tour I was using them with light CAMP Frost crampons, you can see them in my earlier review here: mountainsforeverybody.com/camp-frost-crampons-review These Mammut boots are not for snow really but I used them anyway. They are not waterproof, and sole is not rigid enough when you have to cut into the snow on steep slopes. This is why on my Monte Pelmo tour I used real mountaineering boots Scarpa Triolet together with true crampons.

As you see there is a bit more to it. Thank you for commenting.

I hope it is useful. Thank you.

It would be better without clouds. But it was great.

Great to hear from you, thanks.

Hi, this is a ferrata and you can attach yourself at dangerous passages. But you can definitely fall, so I cannot give any wise answer, I guess nobody can. If you go to such places, do your best and hope for the best. Your question motivated me to write a post in the site, it is available here: mountainsforeverybody.com/what-happens-if-you-fall-on-a-ferrata-tour

Thank you. Though I would not describe the tour as a hike. Crampons, ice axe, and all ferrata equipment was used.

Hi, if you have the mat I am sure you will love to use it. It is cold in the evening and it will make your stay in tent more pleasant. For cot too, it is very good to have an extra layer. I did not use cot but a chair and I was always worried about the floor. You have a great tent.

The word comfort may have different meaning for different people. Please follow the link below the video to read my full text in the site.

@mountainsforeverybody Comfortable for my shoulders and back. because I use a backpack made locally in my country but it is not comfortable at back system and shoulder pad.

@@elzhabi4922 For shoulders, I do not think you will have any difference. For back, Futura backpacks are ventilated, so you should experience less sweating, or better to say better air circulation. But lumbar area is very different, there is no way to know which will work better for you until you try it under a full load. I warmly advise that you read the text in my site for more details.

I would say the best in the Dolomites.

I do not use drones. In fact it is not a theory, this is how I deal with this, details are given in the post (the link below the video). It is correct what you are saying for the situation when you are on the glacier, but even then you can navigate it if you apply some tips mentioned in the text. I go solo and I use them, and I am still around, hopefully this will remain so.

Indeed.

Thank you.

Thank you for the kind words.

No problem, great to hear from you.

Thank you for the kind words.

It is great that you find it useful. Thanks.

Thank you for the kind words.

So you have it now, I am sure it will work great for you. Wish you all the best.

Great to hear that. Many thanks for the kind words.

I would always go for a backpack rather than for a suitcase, you have free hands, easier to move around. But this is not puncture proof, no pack is, there are many small suitcases that are made of a hard material and better from that perspective. Though a punctured suitcase looks ugly, this is not so with a pack. I have them with punctures, but this is typically a ripstop material so I can use it forever, no matter a puncture.

@@mountainsforeverybody Thank you very much for your reply. Do you think this bag will do with 32L for a long trip of several months? To be honest, I'm hesitating between the ditch rider 32L and the Osprey farpoint 40L.

@@zorin597 If you mean this will be your only luggage then this sounds impossible. The same holds for the mentioned Osprey pack. But I do not know what kind of trip this is, so I may be wrong.

@@mountainsforeverybody It would essentially be a minimalist but long trip. I'll be taking with me a few T-shirts, a few pairs of underwear, a few pairs of hiking trousers, some hygiene products and wash bag to wash my clothes. I won't be taking a tent or sleeping bag with me, and I'll be staying in hotels. In any case, thank you very much for your answers, your time and the respect you show me. I've just discovered your channel and I'm not disappointed.

This will depend on what you plan to do with it. For light day tours choose the smaller pack. But the larger version is more versatile and you can do more with it. This summer I used my 40-liters pack for many day-tours, and it worked great for me.

Great to hear from you. Thank you.

You have to drink water, this is the bottom line. This is about emergency situations and you will not die from such a stuff. But no doubt risk is always there. It is just the matter where you have it less. You get this stuff through your hands as well when you deal with your poncho or tent and miss to wash hands. Just imagine kids in a camp with you playing on the floor of the tent full of chemical. You cannot avoid this. There are also fire retardants chemicals that are particularly bad, you can see more about this in my another site. familycamptents.com/what-is-a-fire-retardant-tent/

I guess this will depend on what type of sleeper you are. I myself do not inflate it too much.

I keep the vestibule open whenever possible. Have been with the tent recently in the Dolomites, very happy with it.

Hi, the lower container is a massive steel, no doubt you can use it with any stove. The induction feature is just an extra benefit.

It was hard for me to accept that fact because I absolutely love ventilated design in Futura backs from Deuter and from some other brands. But it is indeed better to have the pack closer to the body. And sweating is inevitable in any case.

You will have a great outdoor item.

Great purchase no doubt.

@@mountainsforeverybody I used it once this year. 37F and raining. Felt like I was sleeping on a warm cloud.

I would do the same, I love ventilated Futura design, have been using it for more than two decades, but Aircontact will work better for a heavy load.

Very true. I made mistake by concluding initially that these were waterproof. In fact, they were sucking water in slowly and I could not feel it in my initial testing even after keeping them in water for several minutes.
