So from a KZfaq perspective, there doesn't seem to be ANYONE focused on teaching gear repair in the field, either as a focus for the channel or even an occasional topic. Of course, there's no money from sponsors likely available for making this type of content for obvious reasons. Still, I would LOVE to see videos on topics like replacing buckles on backpack straps, repairing a rip in different types of materials, replacing shock cord in tent poles, using tooth floss to sew with ... the list goes on and on for possibilities. Anyone?

@mikedendooven6484 6 ай бұрын

Great suggestions! I’d like to see those too. I believe Luke did do an episode on how to replace a broken shock cord a couple of years ago.

@lyman135 6 ай бұрын

How do you know he knows how to do all those things? I mean he is always testing new gear so probably doesn't run into gear breaking that often that he would really be well versed in making repairs. I mean im sure he could figure something out as anyone could, but I don't think he has any special skill at it.

The truth is that Luke is tough enough and experienced enough to really get out there in severe conditions. He puts the gear through real world testing and comes back with very useful insights and evaluations. Thank you Luke for taking the pains to push gear hard enough to separate the diamonds from the lumps of coal.

I retired after 30 years as a letter carrier. 30 years of winters working outside in snow, freezing rain, blizzards that dumped 65 inches of snow over the span of 3 days and watching this nearly gives me PTSD! I love the outdoors but now that I have a choice, being out in the snow on purpose, never again! You outdoor KZfaqrs are insane this time of year.

Nonsense. The kid has the right gear, he knows how to use it, and he’s young enough that his blood still runs hot. He’s also smart enough to pull the pin if things get too nasty. I’m getting old now too though. I look at these things and smile and think about when my wife and I did it. Do it while you’re young and you can. Getting old changes things so do it while you can!

As a xdeer hunter, you just really want to be out there. Like the ice fishermen sitting on the bucket, without the tent. ( And people leave you alone 😂😂😂 ) Was a storm walker in my youth. And xmilitary stationed in SD, flight line. (- 10 to -30 degrees Fahrenheit). My brother did stuff like this , but I don't ice fish either. The trick is being warm and comfortable, then it's fun. With the right gear🤔🤔 ( like a flame thrower for that icey walkway😂 Check out rirang on air , south Korean utuber who camps in the snow and ice. 😂😂 With a happy attitude. And camps with CATS 😂😂😂 at campgrounds. Easy on the eyes with subtotals. Makes me long to travel again .

Nope called a sense of adventure and apparently you have lost it. I served 24 years in the army and my sense of adventure is strong. The big difference is in the military I had to do it and with equipment that weighed a ton and usually almost worthless. Now I chose what gear I want to use and how much it weighs and with Luke's help here what gear works and what gear doesn't.

I probably would never attempt winter tent camping. I have a huge fear of freezing to death, even if I'm well prepared. I'd rather have winter "camping" in a cabin, van, mobile home, etc. where I can be perfectly safe from the cold and wind (with solid walls)... so that even if heating doesn't work, I'm still safe with blankets. I'd love to try it one day, but I'll never do it in a tent away from any "solid" roof. I perfectly understand you, even though I don't work "outside".

I’m the same way. Big plans and no action. I have ALL the gear. Most of it still in the box. I lost my husband of 25 years in 2020 and bought a truck and travel trailer. 3 years later I’ve so,d them both and bought a midsize suv (to me it is smal) 2021 ford edge. My only regret is selling my travel trailer and 2021 ford 250. Now I have a 2021 ford edge (only front wheel drive, thought it was AWD before buying). So now I’m equipped. It still haven’t gone out camping. I felt safe in my travel trailer. Not sure about rent camping out of my car.

Nice adventure and way to think on your feet on repairing the tent, Luke !! Unfortunately this seems to be the achilles heel of the Litefighter tent as reviewed by Gruntproof and others. The “Ghost Bone Fiber” poles. Apparently they are weaker than advertised and break at the ends as well as anywhere else you bend them a little too far, especially when they are cold. Luckily they offer aluminum poles as well, (albeit at an added cost). The aluminum poles fix the problem and should be standard on this tent until a stronger alternative pole system can replace the aluminum ones if they can find one. They should also upgrade the plastic grommets at the tent corners for metal ones. Otherwise it is a brilliant tent.

Luke, you can repair that tent pole with a hardwood wooden dowel that will fit within the inside diameter of the pole. Some Titebond or Gorilla wood glues would work well to secure it. And you may be able to carry a couple of spare dowels sections with you if they will fit your assortment of tents. I hope that you can take out the ICS (Improved Combat Shelter) for a winter trip. I bought one after watching your reviews on it but that was quite a few years ago. We enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing more.

Divine intervention? As an old guy, you look back and sometimes,.... patterns emerge. They're hard to miss and go beyond simple coincidence. That's all I'll say on that. Many of us have had poles break at some point. I remember using a manzanita twig to make a splint once. Can't remember what I used to tie it with but I remember that it held. Manzanita is pretty stiff for such things; almost like nature's fiberglass. Can even use it for tent stakes,...or emergency food. It's a western category of species but there must be an equivalent elsewhere. Another good one. Cheers. 👍

I had a similar experience with a much more budget backpacking tent. The nylon/fiberglass cross-pole similar to that tent snapped on me in the middle of the night and scared the crap out of me.

@rosslangerak8361 6 ай бұрын

Regarding your equipment failure, any time you transition from a stronger part to a weaker part you get a stress point. In this case, you have a stronger and stiffer hub, and a weaker and more flexible pole. This produces a stress point where the pole enters the hub. To avoid this failure, you have to avoid bending the pole at the hub. In this case, the pole broke when you tried to attach the cross pole. It appears the cross pole is also inserted into the hub. This could be a good argument for a separate cross pole. I'll keep that in mind for my next tent. Also a good argument for the design of my current tent.

@@markp5519 A tent with proper ventilation, which is still protected against the wind and cold is nice. You dont want mesh walls, but having a small window or mesh in the upper parts of the inner tent, to let the warm and moist air out, paired with some high placed vents ( so that they stay open if snow falls etc.) work well for me.
