If you find a comfortable sleep system, I can easily imagine it would become a favourite

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

love my snowpeak 700. great piece of gear. rocking the new bcs3000 stove with it. Only 4.1 ounces for mug and stove.

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

and i also have the revelation 20 degree in green and black..haha you got good taste in gear thats for sure.

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

+matanuska high... Nice! How you liking the bcs3000? I haven't had a chance to check it out yet... Hike On, Darwin

[@dad44w]

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

+robert winchester jr..... Thanks for Watching Bob! Hike On, Darwin

[@guidojt]

Show us your cool bike!!

[@asiam7436]

I found you through Neemors World. Really good! I'm from Minnesota so I'm researching a bag or quilt for freezing and sub freezing temps. Not sure if a quilt will work in this state but I'll check it out. Thank you!

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

+Solo Over 50.... A quilt will work anywhere as long as you get the right "Rating" you need & use it properly. Welcome to my Channel & Thanks for Watching! Hike On, Darwin

[@nickdean4864]

Thanks for the great video, Darwin. At what temperature do you find the quilt is too hot to have over you even when opened up?

[@AtwoodThreads]

LOL Andy's box up in the corner takes you to Jacobs

[@AndyOnTheMountain]

I dig the gear Darwin! I've been contemplating a lot about getting that Snowpeak mug but already have a larger one. It's funny we picked the same type of gear. My video will be up in a bit. Hopefully we can get out and hike some time. Andy

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

get the snowpeak..the larger one will sit and collect dust if you do..lol i have larger ones but when solo the snowpeak 700 is perfect size..not too little and not to large..and if you ditch the lid its only 3.5 ounces rather than 4.6 and use a piece of foil instead.

[@AndyOnTheMountain]

+matanuska high I really would like it but it's kind of expensive for the amount of ounces that I save. Plus climbing gear is expensive which I've been doing. Haha.

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

+Andy Timinsky haha i know brother it aint cheap..i was huge into climbing about 10 years ago..recently i busted out all my gear and thinking of either using it or getting rid of it then i found a new non profit climbing wall a few miles away that is supposely the nicest in the state so now im thinking of getting back into it..although not sure how into it i will get i have everything from trad gear sport gear and ice gear and enough for me and another person. it was a bad habit back in the day..a set of nuts ,cams,ice screws,webbing,pitons ,picks,pickets,snow,anchors,biners crampons etc i have probably over $3K invested.. probably more..but we dont tell my old lady that..lol the petzel ice picks alone are over 600$ for the set at the time..lol yeah i know how expensive climbing can be . i feel you bro...and that was 10+ years ago..i havent even tried to price climbing gear now. reminds me i need to price webbing for quickdraws for replacement. haha

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

+Andy Timinsky Hell yeah botha! Bring yourself down to New Mexico sometime & we can do some "Collaboration" Trip Videos. And vise versa, I could use a little more Colorado in my life! Hike on, Darwin

[@SoCalDaveL]

Great vid as usual. I'm "all in" on the quilt and especially the EE Revelation 20deg. Already have one ready to go in my cart... just need to pull the trigger on purchase for a Grand Canyon hike this fall. Quick question though.. HOW compressible is it? I know they're right around the 20oz mark (give or take depending on options).. It comes with a compression sack, but I'm planning on picking up a Sea-to-Summit Ultra Sil compression sack and not sure on the sizing. Any thoughts?

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

It's super compressible! I stuff mine in the Zpacks Sleeping Bag stuff sack, weighs virtually nothing & is waterproof. I'm actually about to do a full on "Post AT" gear review on my EE quilt. Keep an Eye out for it within the next week! Thanks for Watching! Hike On, Darwin

[@SoCalDaveL]

Cool. Looking forward to the full review.

[@finnblu3002]

... snow peak is double walled the way to go or an option or ???

[@malcolmwickham8993]

I can't believe I ate the whole thing!

[@CesarValdez13]

Nice! I envy your production value, and good choices and discussion why. I had that same pot! I loved it too, but then a good friend of mine needed a pot, so I gave it to them. I have two other ti pots now that serve me just as well. Peace and happy trails to you!

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

+Cesar Valdez... Thanks for the kind words Cesar Man! Can't imagine going back to anything but a Ti Pot again. It's just perfect! Hike On, Darwin

[@icytail5302]

Links to gear maybe? 😭 Having a hard time finding out what brand that Quarter-zip long sleeve is

[@JacobZiech]

Well we really like the EE quilts! Love that thing. Do you like using straps that came with it or not? Really liking the collaboration. Best of luck on the AT! I will be hitting the JMT in Auguest for my first thru hike! Thanks for the vid.

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

+Jacob Zilch... Such a great Quilt! Yeah, when it's a chillier night I love using the straps. You'll have a blast on the JMT, Thru Hiking is an addictive way of life! Once it gets in you, it's hard to give up. We should def do another collaboration, maybe a trip video? Thanks for Watching! Hike On, Darwin

[@JacobZiech]

+Darwin Onthetrail I would love to do a trip video. I was talking to Andy about flying out to Colorado for a weekend hike mid summer. Backpacking in general is addicting!

[@gk411]

Top man darwin ✌️

[@jamesaritchie2]

700? Is that the price?

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

lol.... Absolutely Not! That's the Size. It's a 700 ml Mug. Thanks for Watching! Hike On, Darwin

[@loganweaver5868]

Why is his rug on the wall

[@DarwinOnthetrail]

lol... It's a Tapestry. They go on walls. Hike On, Darwin

[@geoffnepo]

you can pretend its a tapestry, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, its design/pattern says its a rug -

[@artistabigailmarie]

geoffnepo i am guessing you don't decorate your walls much o.o

[@tomizet6671]

For me, the best is the Cumulus X-Lite 200 sleeping bag, from Poland sleepingbags-cumulus.eu/uk/categories/sleeping-bags/x-lite-200-483129?gid=63&vid=6 Najlepszy puch na świecie pochodzi z polskich gęsi :)

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

Serious question: Pack out the paper, leave the poop, yes? I would think that the Black roll doggie bags would work great for packing out the paper. Just pick up and turn inside out and tie, like what's done w a dog. Place in a medium heavy duty ziplock, yes? And toss at nearest trash can. No one has done a video on packing out paper, just sayin'.

[@evolutionglitch4739]

nice video but all links are non existent

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

Was thinking not running out of toilet paper would be #1 and #2, no?

[@paulbarnett5818]

what is the eighty?, hay tee?, aytee?, a.t.?, matey?, AT?, A.T.?

[@artistabigailmarie]

Paul Barnett yeah i always wonder why people use abbreviations for really important words in a sentence... espcially when making a global video...only a few people actually know what those abbreviations mean, it is like using code or slang. 😕 anyone young/new to an activity will have no idea what is being said.
