[@CampingGuidance]

Aww yes it is!!! Thank you so much for the kind words 🥰

[@travelingkazi]

Hi Liz, Kazi here. I feel guilty enjoying all this valuable information for free on your videos. It's packed with great insights and top-notch research. For sure your channel is bound to become huge soon!

[@CampingGuidance]

Hi Kazi! Aww thank you so much for the kind words!! That really means a lot to me 🥰 And don't feel guilty, your comments and watching truly help me out a lot too! 🥰

[@joeknight9999]

I'm obsessed with this channel. The time, money, and effort you put into your videos really shows. I found this channel while researching tents and will keep referring to it for any camping gear I may want in the future!

[@CampingGuidance]

Hey Joe! Thank you so much for the kind words 🥰 I'm really glad you like the channel! I don't have a lot of gear reviews up at the time, but I'm hoping to change that slowly over time as I get to play around with and review tons of other gear hehe

[@Dogheadman]

we need to have a donation fund to support this lady. what she did in all her videos are so valuable!

[@CampingGuidance]

Aww thank you so much for the thought! I really appreciate that and maybe one day I'll set something up 🥰

[@HayyuAdam]

the goat of youtube reviews is back with another one

[@CampingGuidance]

HAHA awww thank you so much for the kind words 🥰

[@HayyuAdam]

@@CampingGuidance maybe you can check out some camp chair or tables in your next video🙏🙏

[@CampingGuidance]

@@HayyuAdam I'm planning camping chairs for next year if that helps! Quite a few of my viewers have requested for that so it seems quite popular! 🥰

[@Werkar27]

That's one amazing "battery" of tests (pun intended) you've put those fans through 😅The max airflow distance and recommended tent size are really helpful metrics, so thumbs up for that. I think the Nitecore make the most sense, even though it didn't survive the durability test. The brand's available everywhere and it's compact and light enough to fit in one of my motorbike panniers or backpack. The lantern is a great feature when cooking outside in the dark. Thanks again for these tests, cheers.

[@CampingGuidance]

Thank you so much Wer Kar! 🥰 You're always sooo sweet to be supporting me always 🥰 HAHA nice one, I'm glad you liked the "battery" of tests ;) Oh is the Nitecore available everywhere? I had no idea, I just know that there's one right here in Singapore, and they're quite big on KZbin too! Do you have other gear from Nitecore?

[@mattssacre]

I've been wondering when you were going to release some new videos. You dropped a bunch all at once. You deserve way more subscriptions! The videos are so well thought out and informative. You're the Project Farm for Camping gear! I mostly camp in the summer so a fan is a must for me. Thanks again for another great video! Off to watch some of the individual videos.

[@CampingGuidance]

Aww thank you so much as always! 🥰 HAHA I've been spending more time testing stuff rather than being online, so sorry about being MIA. I'll try to do better! and thank youuu for all the kind words, it really means a lot to me! And YEAH I've never had a camping fan since before last year, it's such a game changer really. I don't know why I didn't think about it before. Let me know if you decide to get one!

[@TheGamingPedro]

Been a "fan" of your channel since I saw the towel reviews. This is how reviews and comparisons should be made and not just comparing specs.

[@CampingGuidance]

Oh wow thank you so much for watching all of my reviews that means a lot to me! I appreciate you being here! 🥰

[@Golddragon214]

I really appreciate all the work you put into this test. Ive never seen anyone else do it like this. I just received two Claymore v600s for a large tent. My plan is to be able to make them more personal for the people in the tent. The Geek Aire looks pretty interesting too.

[@CampingGuidance]

Thank you so much! 🥰 Oh wow I'm really glad that you managed to get those fans, they're really great. Let me know how you like them!

[@flapplewapple]

I'm buying all new camping gear and these videos have been super helpful! Of course, through your affiliate links as it is the least I can could do.

[@CampingGuidance]

Aww I really appreciate that! Thank you so much 🥰 Let me know what you get, and how you like them, if you have the time!

[@AshtonClemens]

Excellent review. I enjoyed watching the entire video. Something to note about the Claymor3 fan. - There is a gap between the housing and the blade spindle on the Claymor3 fan that exposes the internal components of the motor and some other circuits. (You noticed the exposed wire ring on the Nitecore fan) - The v1040 model has a type A port that can slow charge phones.

[@CampingGuidance]

Thank you so much Ashton! 🥰 Oh yikes let me go check out the Claymore when I get it back from a friend I loaned it to. Thanks so much for letting me know! 🥰

[@perpetualtedium]

Hi Liz! It's ben a while since I've commented last (my family got our Columbia Mammoth Creek 10person based on your review last year...loved it btw). I think the only thing we need for our annual camping trip this year is a decent fan, and I'm leaning toward the Nitecore. I just wanted to check to see if your links are affiliate links, or if you benefit at all from using your specific links? You put a lot of time and effort into these and I keep watching (even when it isn't camping season lol) because its valuable content, trying to give a little back possible ;)

[@deathbal9]

It’s so hard to find facts and not just opinions thank u for doing the work it’s truly so helpful

I did Medical Research, and one of my degrees is in Statistics, so this video impressed me. I came for the monkey (who did not show up today), but stayed for the data.

[@ricardoneto7789]

I’m a biomedical engineer and this is the type of analysis we must to evaluate medical equipment from various manufacturers. She should look into this field if looking for a career 👍

[@CampingGuidance]

Thank you so much for the high praise It really means a lot to me 🥰 Sorry about the monkey though, I no longer see them around. Lately they've been making a mess of our houses (coming in, stealing food, defecating all over the place, tipping over garbage cans), so I think they've been relocated elsewhere.

[@CampingGuidance]

Oh wow really? Thanks for the suggestion! I could look that up if this doesn't work out 🥰

[@NatsuMatto]

Liz! Another brilliant analysis. I'm a huge proponent of camping fans, and currently have about 6-7 different ones that I've picked up over the years. Have the 02 model, and yeah, those D batteries are no joke. Never use it. I usually run the smaller rechargeable fans I own all night (need it to sleep) while plugged into a battery bank... definitely helps to extend the runtime when we're out camping for 5-7 days at a stretch.

[@CampingGuidance]

Thank you so much for the kind words 🥰 Oh wow 6-7 different ones? I thought I'd be the only one that had so many!! You're definitely more of an expert than me cos I only got to start using these last year! And yeahhhh I don't think I'll be using those D battery fans. Too expensive man :(

[@MrDochorrible]

GREAT video. Love your comparison vids. I love my Claymore. It just feels and looks very nice, and it has an available carrying case that is very premium as well. It's got enough room to throw a USB battery pack in which is handy. Given the price, I agree the Nitecore is a *much* better value, but if you like spending a bit extra on having something premium that feels very well designed then Claymore is a nice brand. We've had this fan about 18 months and it's still running and looking like new. They make a matching lantern to the fan if you feel like being silly with your money like I did (it's beautiful but definitely not worth the premium). I like their headlamps / flood lights as well.

[@CampingGuidance]

Thank you so much for the kind words! 🥰 Oooh you bought the carry case? I didn't cos I thought it was kind of pricey haha. I'll look up Claymore's lights next time when I'm doing more research 🥰

[@erickwanmx]

Love your videos, you must be a data scientist or something.. you put brains on it! few asks: Gazelle t4 plus vs Core 12 / best canopy’s for camping / best head lamp for trekking… 😊 keep on the good work!

[@kishorkumar-zd8nd]

Great info 😮. Best researcher

[@jackfranks7160]

This is excellent. I ended up getting a USB ceiling fan with detachable blades for my Wawona 6 a few weeks ago. Still waiting til the next end of July to use it, but testing went well. If it doesn't go too well, I'll be back 😁

[@CampingGuidance]

Hey Jack! Thank you so much for the kind words 🥰 Do you mind sharing which fan you bought so I can see if I wanna buy it too? 😁

Liz, thanks for another fine video. You did not, however, convince me to part with my 12" Smartele fan. It's very pricey ($129) compared to your options, but IMHO it's a superb fan.

[@CampingGuidance]

WOW thank you so much for the suggestion! I looked that up and it looks amazing. I gotta try that next time when updating this video! 🥰

[@offgridselfteliant]

Okay, I'm hooked. This is just outstanding factual informative information at the highest level. As a seasoned camper and backpacking outdoors fanatic first hand information is priceless! I have just one question? Do the the rechargeable fans run while charging? I carry a 12 volt battery and usually use a car charging port to charge USB port rechargeable items. Phone etc.... when camping close to the vehicle. It's my phone that gets most the use. I have a Milwaukee radio uses a 18 volt 5.0 battery that will last for days with a aux. Input I attach to my phone to play my music Playlists stored on my phone.

[@CampingGuidance]

Thank you so much for the kind words! That really means a lot to me and I'm glad that you liked all the data and info 🥰 And yes my rechargeable fans run while charging, so no problem with that!

[@_ready__]

Yayyy another awesome review video from Liz. I did not know that NiteCore made fans. I have several of their flash lights and they are all premium products. I would personally choose the nitecore based on your data and my product experience! I wish it had a remote control option. I have a cheaper 20$ camping/tent fan that has a remote! Thanks for this video.

[@CampingGuidance]

Aww thank you!! I'm really glad that you like the reviews 🥰 I really appreciate you! AND YEAH me too! I didn't realize Nitecore made fans until I was shopping one day and their nitecore fan got recommended to me by chance! I'll be on the lookout for a more premium fan with a remote for future updates!

[@_ready__]

@@CampingGuidance after having a fan in the tent with a remote it would be hard to change to one without a remote for sure! Again, awesome job on ALL your reviews!

[@CampingGuidance]

@@_ready__ That's true!! Btw do you mind sharing with me what fan you bought that came with the remote?

[@aspexpl]

Thanks Liz. When I'm camping I usually fight heat by just sweating and dying but I think I'll consider a little fan next time.

[@CampingGuidance]

It was my pleasure! 🥰 HAHAH that used to be me before last year. I got my first fan last year, and it's such a game changer.

[@kayb4995]

I use an 8 inch cheap usb fan and power it with a power bank. It took me like 2 years to finally come upon this solution. I usually need about 3 nights of fan all night and if it goes out I can’t sleep so it’s kinda important

[@CampingGuidance]

In that case I think the nitecore has the best battery capacity of my rechargeable ones! (Battery ones will last even longer, but they're quite expensive).

[@peuruaisheiche]

Wow thank you. This is so much work!!!

[@CampingGuidance]

Thank you so much! 🥰 If you like it, the work that went into this was worth it then 🥰

[@filipemmarques]

Hi Liz, welcome back 😁 A more amazing video 😊 About fans, I never think have one but now because of you I will think about this 😅

[@CampingGuidance]

Helloooo Filipe!! Awww thank you so much 🥰 The weather in Singapore is terrible sometimes, so camping fans really help. If it's not so bad at your side, you don't really need a fan! haha

[@filipemmarques]

@@CampingGuidance In the North is cool in South Will be needed but I never camping in South 😅 I saw one fan on Amazon that is solar rechargeable and can charge your phone but it only cost €20 and I doubted its effectiveness 🤣

Hi Liz, like your sense of equipment analysis. You should look into taking engineering. You got the right frame of mind 😉👍

Fantastic review as always. Interested where the Flextail Max Cooler sits in the ratings...

[@CampingGuidance]

Oooo okay! Thanks so much for the suggestion! I might pick that up next time 🥰

[@chomp54321]

First of all, love those No Face socks! Fan of Ghibli movies, perchance? In any case, fantastic comparison video as always, and just in time for the camping season. In my books, gadgets with replaceable non-proprietary batteries are preferable if there is no power source to recharge the exhausted built-in rechargeable batteries. I agree that D cells are expansive, but I would spend the extra money for rechargeable D cells. They are of much higher capacity than the non-rechargeable varieties, and so can last quite a bit longer.

[@CampingGuidance]

HAHAHA YESSS I've seen all the Ghibli movies!!! Spirited away is my fav ;) What about you? And yeah I agree that the D cells last longer but they're sooo expensive. You're right though, I'll be on the look out for a fan with replaceable rechargeable batteries, if there's any of those! 🥰 Thank youuu so much for always supporting the videos! 🥰

[@chomp54321]

@@CampingGuidance My first ever Ghibli movie was Rapyuta (Castle in the Sky). It was in Japanese with subtitles. The remastered, English dubbed version is my favourite, perhaps for nostalgia. The second most favourite would be Porco Rosso, and the third would be Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle.

[@CampingGuidance]

How about a fan for a 4 man dome? Those are too big.

[@CampingGuidance]

Hi! Hmm if the tent is too big, you may want to go with more than just 1 fan, or alternatively buy bigger fans. The Geek Aire comes in up to 16 inches I think! 🥰 How big is your 4 man dome?

[@timetothinkbereal]

@@CampingGuidance I was saying A smaller fan needed,

@@CampingGuidance yes there is a tent that I’ve actually watched a lot of reviews on. The name brand is Zempire the tent that I have been looking at is a Pronto I think it has a water head rating of 3000. It seems to be a very good tent and very durable. I think the price on Amazon is about 700 for a 10 person tent.
