Thanks

I honestly have no idea. Please Shazam it and reply the track id.

Grüse.

Ozora is incredible.

Then you want Dutch hard style.

They have some very fast hard industrial trance at ozora every night from like 2am till morning you could bring a light pole with a disco ball and make your own gabber thunderdome on the main stage where it's hakken only.

Yes. Ozora.

I'll look for one.

You can come too.

Yes basically that is the tldr of this video. I do this more often than I care to admit and I'm not ashamed.

Sounds like a good idea. During those days I had a "limited understanding" and "limited planning" if ykwim 🤣🤣🍾🍬

Also, thanks for the comment ❤️

It will last you. Just don't use it for anything too strenuous because it doesn't breathe enough for that.

@@mpireoutdoors5274 I use it for dog walking and pike fishing 👍

@@lexingtonlad5745 for medium paced/slow stuff it's great.

Thank you! 😃

Cheap and effective but not modular.

I have no idea. I gave up on it after making these videos. I don't think the voltages would match.

It wouldn't be worth it. The distance from the front lens to the tube, and from tube screen to the eyepiece would be all wrong and everything would be blurry. If you find a gen 2 tube you can just make a housing for it with a camera lens and reuse a microscope eyepiece or something

@@mpireoutdoors5274 The voltage isn't really an issue, most gen 2 tubes have the high voltage power supply built in, run straight from battery. You wouldn't want to reuse the high voltage power supply from this unit unless it was going into another identical unit for repairs etc

It performs very well to this day. It’s easy to hang over a backpack etc. Basically you just tie it onto whatever you want to use. I mainly used it at camp hanging from a tree etc.

From 0 to 18 Celcius. If you want to use it for colder temperatures you can get a larger size to fit an insulation jacket underneath.

Cool. I used this mount quite a lot and was never disappointed by it. If you're pedantic you can secure the rubber bands to your handlebars with some thin rope to make it impossible to lose them.

Had similar experiences. Karrimor seem to have hit a winning formula. As far as tatty; I find the face material to wear better than most alternatives - including moving through thick bushes with thorns at night. I guess it's not perfect but it's still very very good.

@@mpireoutdoors5274 The jacket became a second skin. Have it five years and apart from a rip on the mesh that I did drunkenly it's fine. The arms scuff as you identified because of the Velcro - it's well holding its own for it's age.

@@scamp_media I removed the velcro and replaced with pushbutton closures. Think it did wear slightly along the shoulders but that was from long use with heavy backpacks. Top product IMHO. Not for heavy exertion though as the material isn't nearly as breathable as GoreTex but for normal daily life topscore.

@@mpireoutdoors5274 Any tips on how to do the velco replacement?

@@scamp_media either pay a tailor or use a pointed knife to cut the stitching on the harsh velcro patch ie the scratchy one. Then you get a pushbutton set from Prym brand on Amazon and the pliers and install it. Made sense for me to get the kit as I already have a sewing machine to sew outdoor gear - some videos to come - and I modify ponchos etc etc. Would only use Prym myself.

It was the same as the outer shell. The shells of the 3-in-1 are always slightly larger (for the same stated size) as compared to the shell alone because the 3-in-1 shell must accommodate the fleece IE 3in1 large will be bigger than Urban jacket large.

@@mpireoutdoors5274 thanks :)

Had a look. Looks like a good option for something lighter and cheaper. One thing I see different with that one is the Karrimor shell material is considerably more rugged; I've pushed through thick thorny brush in the Karrimor a number of times and no rips. That being said it's gonna weigh more.

@@mpireoutdoors5274Thank you that's a very good point It honestly never crossed my mind and I'm planning to hike the west highland way before the end of the month, I may have to weigh up other options

@@seanosborne4028 For hiking or anything strenuous I would suggest a shell with pit zips to vent heat (North Face I've found good) and if you are planning to move in the rain then a folding peak cap and a lightweight ripstop poncho - Amazon, get one without the neck zip they always leak onto your chest - would be stuff I consider indispensable. I have 18 months experience outdoor living and moving at many different temperatures. If you do get a poncho then you may not need a jacket with pit zips but at minimum I'd get one with vent holes under the armpits - you really don't want to be opening the jacket exposing the neck and chest which I've found people tend to do if their jacket doesn't have pit venting; zips are best, vent holes are acceptable. Make sure the poncho can securely close at the sides; if it can't then you need to sew some cords at each quarter-length along the sides so that you can tie the thing closed in wind. To clarify; you need to wear a waterproof shell under the poncho to be safe and it needs to have pit venting capability to avoid getting too sweaty. PS thank you for your questions/input - makes me think of new video ideas eg one on my stormproof DIY poncho.

@@mpireoutdoors5274many thanks for your sound advice very much appreciated, I have the kombat uk poncho which I found to be fully waterproof, but I don't have a vented jacket I will be getting one before I go

These Merrell boots are no match for much to be honest. Still can't believe they used this thin weak material for the front rand.

My North Face boots - I have a video about them - are just better than this Merrell in every way and are (after 4 years of use) still waterproof from what I can tell.

I'd say it will serve you well for a number of reasons including; 1 lower breathability than gore Tex - so you won't lose too much humidity which can be an issue in winter. Less breathability also means wind cannot drive as much cold water vapor through the jacket. 2 ability to switch the liner to a puffer liner - I think karrimor have puffer liners with the required mating zips and if not then you just use a puffer loose under the shell. 3 ruggedness - it might be not be the most high tech jacket as it misses pit zips etc but it's durable. 4 somewhat formal appearance - especially if you get a matching permanent marker and colour the branding to match the rest of the jacket. 5 price:performance ratio - hard to beat as it offers good construction and looks at a fair price. For anything similar to light/medium walking it will do you well. For anything more strenuous you may want gore Tex depending on how much you sweat. Regarding thermal base: Merino wool doesn't move well underneath the fleece liners so I would suggest to upgrade the liner rather than the base as most base materials will move acceptably well under the polyester/nylon fabric of a puffer jacker, in general I've found puffer jackets to be about twice as thermally efficient as fleece for the size and weight and I don't really use fleece these days instead opting for a similar size garment with polyester or down insulation. Fleece however I guess still have some place perhaps due to ruggedness and cost (and maybe comfort) but I haven't seemed to want anything fleece for a long time as I want things which are highly efficient for their weight and pack size.

@@mpireoutdoors5274 the shell should be fine but I can just swap the existing fleece for other better fleece/puff for ~ -5 degC? Or am I being too ambitious here

@@wongkesiang2287 You are absolutely correct. I recommend and have used this as a shell down to negative 10 Celsius with the hyperquality "Light insulation garment" from Austrian military and civilian garment and equipment manufacturer "Carinthia" which is the best insulation garment I've ever seen or used and which I have a video review of - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2q9i2qOr5WKsKM - they ship worldwide. The only reason I change this shell below those temperatures is to a bigger one which can allow the insulation garment to loft more and allow a thicker base layer.

Tried it out, the 3 in 1 Weathertite worked just fine for 1-5°C even without a thermal base layer!

@@wongkesiang2287 Cool that you updated me. I only saw the comment now. And so now you have a good system for 1-5C, and if you want to go somewhere colder you can just replace the fleece with a puffer jacket. Plus I like how thick the shell material is compared to other jackets. Nice one.

I've tried everything and gore Tex is the best unless you expect the garment to be damaged in which case something cheaper is probably a better idea.

Mine was regular size. I wouldn't recommend these boots. North Face have a better build quality and are better in every aspect in my opinion. Here is a video i made on my favourite North Face boots. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4qVln2Ze7mioKc

That's true. When there are clouds it will basically not charge, but given that most capital cities in Europe have between 7 & 9 rain days a month you can actually keep a phone and laptop charged as long as you have an external battery which you can charge on the sunny days.

@@mpireoutdoors5274 so i could charge a laptop with this and a battery pack? thanks for the vid bro

@@ashrodders you have to check the input/output voltages. I don't know if this produces enough watts to charge a laptop - most laptops are over 45 watts. So you'd need to find a power bank (battery) which can take the low input voltage (5 volts +-26 watts) and output it to the laptop. I think a tablet which charges via USB might be a better option. But I don't know if you can - it could be possible. Are you planning to travel by foot, car, bicycle, motorcycle? Edit1: I've seen a few powerbanks which are designed with an AC outlet to power laptops. I don't know if they have an option for a USB input. Normal solar panels use an MC5 or MC4 power jack - you might want to get a normal solar panel with that connection which would give you more options in regards to which power banks you can input the power to. But have a look, if you find a laptop power bank with a 5 volt USB input let me know.

@@mpireoutdoors5274 i will and thank you for the knowledge bro im just prepping getting some ham radios and torches im actuallly looking at night vision but it looks like crap the stuff i can afford this solar energy is mindblowing but i understand it more from what you said il probably use this to usb chard the radios and torches ect

@@ashrodders I have some experience with a generation 1 night vision unit with an inbuilt infrared flashlight which runs off a CR123 battery and sits on a head mount - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this for movement in open field at night. Gen 1 means about 15 times light amplification which means as long as there's a quarter moon and your eyes are adjusted it let's you see pretty well in field. However, for a general use long term option I would suggest Gen 2 minimum because it has an extended tubelife, better light amplification and often have autogating etc. You can charge the CR123 with a small USB charger via a portable solar panel which basically gives you permanently powered night vision - a single charge lasts a few hundred hours of use and takes only about an hour to charge.

Still have it. Have installed a NATO band on it and reinforced the holes I use with a few drops of epoxy and it's going perfectly.

Haven't got any experience with that brand yet but so far North Face boots have impressed me a lot over long term use.

They probably are. I wasn't very impressed with these particular Merrels. Check out my video on the North Face mids - very good option IMO.

Hello Gen. Due to the lack of insulation I would not recomment these as first preference for snow. For snow you would want a full boot i.e. which covers the ankle to the base of the calf muscle and you want the boot to have a degree of insulation. A typical survivalist example is the Mickey Mouse Cold Weather Boot, which you can google for more info - I guess I should do a review some time. You may also, for a winter boot, consider a ski boot or a boot which has the rear lug allowing it to mount into skis. Additionally, as the boots were not waterproof for me, I cannot recommend them for anything involving wetness. For snow you typically want at least the bottom third of the boot to be entirely waterproof, paired with insulation and a breathable waterproof membrane throughout the rest of the boot to allow vapor to escape.

@@mpireoutdoors5274 thank you for your advice

@@gen1463 My pleasure. What I would suggest for anything serious in the snow would be a boot from Boreal or preferably La Sportiva. If you want a super budget option just to have a go then you can use a Wellington boot - make sure it has a suitably grippy sole or crampon addon - a few sizes too large with 2 pairs of thick winter socks, although this I wouldn't recommend for anything more than messing around in a snowy city park or something like that.

Appreciate the comment. It's a really nice jacket IMO, especially as an urban jacket which can also be used for short hikes. I used it with a fleece in chilly temps and with the Carinthia LIG jacket in cold/freezing temperatures, which I have an unboxing video of - basically the best cold-weather "puffer jacket" I've ever seen. I guess if I bought the Karrimor again I'd go XL, just cuz I like to be able to fit a few layers under. Their 3-in-1 jackets are the same shell with a removable fleece and are sometimes cut slightly bigger.

I'm in a thin Hammock right now with a woobie liner tied into the HyperLiner (on the inside to stop conduction into the metallic coating) at 0 celcius and it's nice and warm. Not sure if I needed to use 3 layers of space blanket maybe 2 would've been fine.

The jacket is high strength and high-quality construction. Everything works correctly - zips, pockets, hood. It is also good rain protection. However I would not recommend to use for sport above 18 celcius because it is not super-breathable. For below 17 celcius it is good. It provides high protection against wind. If you will use it in cool/cold weather I suggest to buy a size bigger than usual to fit an insulation jacket underneath. The wrist closures will ensure the sleeves do not interfere with your hands.

@@mpireoutdoors5274 thank you for sharing! Also, how's the velcro after long term use?

@@MuhammadImran93 The velcro lasts. What I do is simply install pushbutton closures into the velcro if it starts to fail, but I never had that failure with karrimor. Still installed pushbutton closures anyway because I prefer it. I have some expensive winter sleeping bags which are made from very specific lightweight materials which velcro can damage so I often remove the hard side of the velcro and install pushbutton closures instead.

Thanks. No point helping the company if they're not doing it right.

I would recommend it based on the one that I have. Have used it for months and it's still all good. Like I said in the video, the newer version with the ports which are oriented vertically might be better for extending the panels out of a tent or from under a tarp/umbrella in the rain etc. But I personally would consider Big Blue again because I like the sturdiness of the product and the power output I found impressive.

You'd be surprised how useful Epoxy can be 🤣 will be making a plastic container from a cardboard box very soon...

@@mpireoutdoors5274 haha legend. Cheers fella

You're right. I will probably redo this review with a better camera and mic.

I consider these walking shoes, not hiking boots. For anything involving uneven ground or hiking in rocky or otherwise treacherous and unpredictable areas I would suggest something with considerably more ankle support. A nice urban-trailwalk hybrid shoe from sturdy materials. Serious hiking boot for mountaineering? No.

The best I have found is North Face. I have a video on them called "Scared man repairs world's best boot with shoe goo". kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4vGXqB9r5eWr6s

$150 is more than enough to make a proper boot. Merrell skimping on material selection for the front quarter guard is pretty below par for their branding and the fact that they rectified the issue with the next updated version shows they agree. Part of the motivation for such a video is to assist people to cut through the marketing bullshit; noone markets their boot as "for light use, inferior front quarter guard material and adhesive selection". I took my next $150 to North Face and got the best toughest boots I've ever had - have a video on a small repair I made on it. I have to say the other materials in the Merrell boot were top notch especially the ridges of harder foam (I think foam) on both sides of the back third. Never scratched.

I didn't have a problem with grip although I didn't try it on wet stone. Overall I would not recommend this boot at all without an upgraded front quarter guard - which I believe Merrell did do. Ultimately I find North Face boots to have a better construction.

For the money I would recommend a different brand. Had good luck with North Face so far and did a discussion video on them - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4vGXqB9r5eWr6s&ab_channel=MpireOutdoors. Definitely check that the front toe-guard is high strength rubber on whatever you buy because for that price there's no reason it should be inferior material.

The materials are good except for the front quarter guard, which I believe they improved in the next version to a thick synthetic rubber - which is the correct material for that job.

Haha what?

Please watch full video. I would not recommend this version for wet weather, maybe the updated version is better but I haven't tried it yet - hopefully soon.

@@mpireoutdoors5274 the merrel moab 3?

@@vlaerenko I explain in the video, my problem was where the front quarter guard joins as well as the upper-sole join where the shoe bends up around the first metatarsal. I would, for wet weather, recommend to you the North Face Hedgehog Mid GTX (not the fastpack one). But I'm not sure if they make it anymore. My basic feeling after using TNF boots for about 6 months is that they are better than Merrel - better construction methods, design and materials. I guess I need to put up a review of the North Face boots - I have a repair video of them (I added something) - in that video you can see the boots clearly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4vGXqB9r5eWr6s
