Overnight Mountaineering Gear

[@nickgerstenlauer4111]

Dude!! You know how much time I've spent looking for good tent reviews?! I'll check it out and all the gear you recommended! I love that you mention budget options

[@teatimeinthealpine5752]

I really want to try an entire budget kit, and take it in the mountains for a couple days. Then, give it away. I think they are a lot of companies making really great gear these days for not a lot of money.

[@niafer9444]

Take an extra cookie if you paid attention the whole way through and did not get hypnotised/distracted with the swinging axes :)

[@teatimeinthealpine5752]

Hahaha. They do that when I grab gear off the shelves. 😂

[@korosulkalamyr6081]

Another great video. Definitely interesting to see the perspective on overnight gear from a fast and light climber. I'm with you on matching gear. Rab has always been my go-to and even as I switch over to other kit, anyone who has used Rab gear knows it'd quality!

[@teatimeinthealpine5752]

Thank you! I love their kit. Constantly innovating and changing the market.

[@JMonkey25]

I agree with you hands down, in my opinion rab makes the best quality gear for the money. In terms of functionality vs price they are really hard to beat.

[@niafer9444]

o/ ... looking forward to seeing a video on the Latok bag. Happy New Year!! and thank you for the content/reviews/recommendations.

[@teatimeinthealpine5752]

Absolutely! Happy new year! Thank you for watching!!

Don’t think many people know about it but Locusgear makes a 4-season tent with the same eVent technology. It’s the Djedi Dome and total weighs in at a little less than 2.5 lbs. You can also opt in an option with mesh panel as well. Saw someone used that tent it at Denali. Downside is that it costs almost $1,100. Unfortunately, they discontinued production. Not sure if they’ll bring it back but I hope they do! Similar contender to the El Dorado at half the weight. Definitely worth checking out if they ever bring it back!

[@teatimeinthealpine5752]

Thank you for the awesome comment. You’re right, I haven’t heard about them. I gotta research this tent though. Sounds like it would be PERFECT for a smash n’ grab Denali.

Happy New Year mate. Sorry what was this video about? The swinging axes distracted me 😅. I absolutely love your honest reviews, I own a couple of Rab Borealis jackets because of them. I'm very similar to yourself where if a brand works for me then I stick to it. I use Rab products a lot, not just because of the quality but also their customer service which I've found to be 1 of the best around. The Latok tent looks like a great piece of kit and something I've been looking into for a while now. I'm currently looking at upgrading my sleep system to either an Ascent 900 or Solar Eco 4, both very similar in specs, just trying to decide between down or synthetic (as someone who moves around in their sleep the taped mummy bags won't be comfortable for me). I'm hearing some good reviews about the Sea to Summit Ether Light XT sleep pad, so I'm currently looking into that as a winter upgrade.

[@teatimeinthealpine5752]

Thank you for the comment! Im not a huge fan of the weight of either of those sleeping bags. However, the pricing is really really good. I would consider the gear you’re already going to have on board and decide whether or not you actually need the zero. Might be able to save even more money that way! I’ll check out that sleeping pad!!

[@RonlyBonly]

Haha I look like a Rab shill when I'm in the mountains too. 90% of my layers are Rab and so is my sleeping bag. The fit of their clothes is just really good for me and their stuff is good value for the money especially when you buy from the European gear sites.

[@niafer9444]

I know exactly what you mean. I have purchased 4 Rab jackets and a pair of Rab pants this Autumn/Winter and each piece feels like it has been tailor made just for me. Expensive, but I guess we pay for the research, design and build quality.

[@teatimeinthealpine5752]

When you compare Rab to other brands, the pricing seems entirely fair. I’m really excited to see them making a name for themself. When I first started using them, I was probably a year before I saw someone else wearing their kit.

Happy New Year from Wales

Thank you very much! Happy new year to you as well!

[@leomora26]

Happy new year ! Thanks for the video. I hope with the layer videos you mean gloves!! Thanks.

[@teatimeinthealpine5752]

I already filmed the glove video and am uploading it soon!

[@leomora26]

@@teatimeinthealpine5752 great thanks !! I will hold my purchase of winter climbing gloves for a trip to Scotland until I see you review. So far I had the Hestra Blizard and Mammut Eigerjoch pro. Let’s see Thanks for the content again.

Hello! If you could share your experience, I hava a specific question about your tent. I have a Latok Summit, and am refining my packing system...I believe the brim over the door is the same design as your Mountain. I assume you are not carrying your tent rolled in the stuff sack and stuff it instead. If that is the case, have you had any issues either creasing or deforming the hood? I ask because the Summit is a little more bulky than I had imagined and it is not practical for me to carry rolled, I prefer to stuff anyways, space is at a premium,. I am also using a 40L Ice Pack. I have not had a chance to take a trip with this tent yet but worry that I will damage the brim. Thanks for your time!

[@teatimeinthealpine5752]

Good thought. The tent hasn’t shown any signs of damage. I’m careful though. I try not to sit on my pack during breaks, and pack the tent carefully. Space is a premium, and the lightweight:safety ratio is important. Stuff that bad boy!! lol

[@gilbertmedina1837]

@@teatimeinthealpine5752 Gotcha, that is good to know, thank you!

[@zdzislawaprzyborska5653]

When you are doing the shootout of the backpacks I'd love to know what is the advantage of one over another. I am foolishly hopping to have just one...

[@teatimeinthealpine5752]

I plan to talk about advantages with each. I can already think of one pack that could be a good do-it-all pack. Stay tuned!

[@michaeldumas4907]

Hi wanted to ask you about pushing limits on your rab bag...if you wear your down jacket and I assume pants?...what would you gain?...like 10 degrees?....and a bivy another 10?...thanks

How do you think the MSR Advance Pro competes against the Rab Latok Summit?

[@teatimeinthealpine5752]

Ya know, it does look quite nice. It's definitely lighter. I'd love to check one out. My biggest complaint from looking at it is the poles being on the outside of the tent. Regardless, looks really nice. The Rab tent arguably would make a much better expedition/lifetime tent. It extremely robust and relatively light for the confidence the tent gives the climber in terms of spending a lot of time on a mountain. The MSR looks ideal for a fast and light deal. If I had both, I'd probably use the MSR more. If I could only have one, it'd be the Rab because it's likely more universal and reliable.

[@benjaminstevens8641]

Have you heard anything about the northface assault 2 tent?
