Yosemite Backpacking - BIG 3 REVIEW / Field Test ( Zpacks Solplex, KS50, WM Astralite 26 quilt )

[@susankasaboski5373]

Brilliant. Incredibly informative Amazing views. I look forward to seeing more of your adventures.

Does the "50" in the KS50 refer to the volume of just the main compartment of the pack or the whole pack including the exterior pockets? Also, which bear can were you using on this trip? How did it fit in the KS50?

[@Overtorange]

The 50 refers to the whole pack, outside pockets included. It is comparable to the HMG2400 in capacity.

Are you still liking your Hexamid . I am using same set up, but with a Borah bivy. I wish I would have went with the Hexamid with doors. Live and learn.

Is the 26-degree comfort rating accurate for the Astralite in your experience?

Very bad video quality for some reasons I did like the video though, because I want you to continue making video's and improve. Seems like you had a very awesome trip! How much does your whole setup weigh?

[@intheopenair3725]

That’s strange. I saved and uploaded it as 1080p. It seems like it defaults to 480 though. Maybe change the setting manually until I can figure it out. Cheers! My base weight for this trip with all fishing gear and extras was 9.5lbs plus 2 more pounds for the bear can BV450

@@intheopenair3725 yeah sometimes it takes a while for the video to render completely on KZbin. Like when you watch it as soon as it's uploaded it might still be on like 720. But it's ok though, no big problem. And that's a very light pack to carry. Thanks for your quick answer. I'm looking forward to any future trips of yours. Take care and have a nice day.

Edit, you are right, it was on the lowest setting. I could change it manually and now it's alot better
