Monitor Weather While Camping with Sensor Push/A Camping Thermometer and So Much More!

[@SvenVelopeter]

This is phenomenally useful. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I can get some sense of temperature using the weather app. But that only shows it for specific cities. Temps are usually quite different in the woods or mountains. And I've used a cheap little thermometer. Recently I've wanted something that also tells humidity. But this system goes way beyond by making use of your smart phone where it's easy to take a screen shot for record keeping. I can see the benefit of having one outside and away from your tent for a baseline reading of the real temps you are in. Then having another inside your tent to see how much warmer your 4-season tent is making it. As as well checking inside your sleeping bag. Being able to track this over the course of an evening is invaluable. This way you have an objective measurement that helps you to dial in your gear and clothing choices so you can anticipate what gear will likely be best for a future trip based on the weather forecast. Another benefit is that since you aren't relying on a weather app, being out of range of cell service is no problem. And this will always be more accurate than local weather data.

@SvenVelopeter Man you said it. Additionally, every time you open the app, it downloads all of the data since last opening, and stores it in the app on your phone. No limit. I have years worth of data. I can compare year over year temps for a specific day, week, or month. Like I said, it was only supposed to get down to -4F that night it got down to -21.9. Without this device, we likely would have assumed it had only got down to -4F. Super cool. Thanks for watching and commenting! Matt

Thanks for showing this, never knew it existed either

[@mattsmountainmadness]

You bet. Thanks for watching, Matt

Was just looking at these for backpacking. Great video, thank you. I think I'm going to send it on the HTP.xw soon

[@mattsmountainmadness]

@@coledavidson6640 Cool! Thanks for watching!

I'm #3 to "like". I find all your videos to be interesting, & informative. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.

[@mattsmountainmadness]

@@azclaimjumper Thank you very much, that helps me to know that I'm on the right track. Take care, Matt

Hi Matt. It's good to see another option available for this type of gear. A few years ago, I bought the Inkbird IBS-TH2, which offers similar data gathering capabilities to the Sensorpush. It runs on 2 AAA batteries, features an LCD display, and can pair with an app for viewing and downloading collected data. The Inkbird is slightly larger and heavier than the Sensorpush and has less Bluetooth range, but it's also half the price, which could be important for some buyers. These past 2 years mine has worked fine for camping and monitoring temp and humidity in the house.

[@mattsmountainmadness]

@TunngaviksChannel That sounds great, I was completely unaware of this product. The one thing that I wanted to avoid was buying more Energizer Lithium AA's and AAA's. I still have a few electronic components that require them. It is just that the cost is so much. I am trying to go with rechargeable lithium devices as much as I can because I usually bring several battery banks with me. Lithium works down to -40. Lower than Alkaline batteries. It is the main reason why I insist on Lithium. After that qualifier, having an internal, rechargeable, lithium battery is what I am shooting for with all of my devices. My headlamps are still AAA powered, along with a few of my other components, but the goal for me is to eliminate the need for disposable batteries. But, back to the subject at hand. Any device that allows you to look at temperature history is going to be hugely helpful to those of us who really would like to know how " How cold did it get?" Thanks again for watching, and subscribing to my channel, and leaving comments. I very much appreciate it! Matt

ThermoWorks has a similar but cheaper product called "ThermoDrop". I haven't tried it but from reading reviews it sounds like it has some reliability issues and it only measures temperature.

[@yousefal-khelaifi1058]

I just found your channel and I really appreciate all of the work you put into your videos! Didn't know this thing existed and I am always curious about the temperature in winter camping too! I'm going to order a couple of these. Thanks!

[@mattsmountainmadness]

Awesome! I am glad you are finding my videos helpful. Thanks for watching, Matt

[@goyourownway9149]

Have long used a Casio "ABC" function watch to track temp and bp but it's never been reliable. Time for an upgrade!

[@mattsmountainmadness]

@goyourownway9149 I forgot to mention, I have never had a glitch with the device or software. Super reliable. Thanks for your continued viewership, take care, Matt.

Wish I had one of these back when I went "summer camping" in Wyoming and it got extremely cold overnight. We froze all evening/night in our summer bags. Would be fun to see what the temperature actually was!

[@mattsmountainmadness]

That is just the kind of situation where they are nice to have for sure! Thanks for watching, Matt

[@dominikkoc2165]

Awesome. Thank you for this.

[@mattsmountainmadness]

@dominikkoc2165 You are welcome, thanks for watching!

[@Shinykip]

Have you used the Kestrel Drop D3?

[@mattsmountainmadness]

@Shinykip No. I am not familiar with it. I looked it over on Amazon. Twice as expensive as Sensor Push with lower overall rating. Why, is that what you use? I'd like to try one out for sure. Problem is, I've already invested a few hundred in these units, my budget is currently capped in these types of devices LOL!

[@Colby168]

Do you need service for the data to connect to your phone? I use the zipper pull which gives the high, low and current temperature over the last 24 hours. Works great but it seems this gives even more data.

[@mattsmountainmadness]

@@Colby168 It doesn't require a service. They also make a gateway that allows you to tap into the sensors from anywhere in the world. I don't own that. But to use the sensors, using your phone, no service required. Thanks for watching! Matt
