Great video. Thanks

Umbrella + shitty rain jacket worked great for me on the pct

Good info!

Just found your channel, nice video. Hiking the AT last year the Nitecore headlamps seemed to be the most popular. I didn’t do any night hiking except to the privy .

Thank you for making this video. I purchased the REI Rainer last year and have used it a couple of times in brief rain, but I also avoid hiking in rain. As I get more into hiking, I have learned avoiding rain is difficult in the Northeast US. This video provided me some better options.

Anything with Goretex. Not for me. And living in Scotland I know about rain. 😂

I’d highly recommend throwing away one of your earbuds, won’t need it for this vid 👌

Thank you kindly.

Great, hard hitting video. Thank you.

Extremely helpful <3!!! Thank you!

These videos are a lifesaver if your are trying to buy any outdoor gear!

sounds great but does anyone know how much the subscription is?????

I don't think people realize how much valuable info there is in this channel!

Did the same, 3-hour drive and 4 hrs. hiking only to realize I had forgotten my water filter.I have used a checklist since!

Always make a list and tick it off before you go! You could either do this electronically, or use a laminated list and a whiteboard pen.

Two uncomperable devices, sorry

The larger one has so many more uses. I have mine on my bike all the time and hikes! Plot the route and follow it on a map!

My biggest tip, especially for desert hiking in the height of summer, is to use a cooling cloth! You soak it with water and lay it around your neck. The water evaporation keeps you cooler than you would be otherwise, which could make a hot and dry climate more manageable. I’ve found I tend to wear out much slower if I am cool enough on a hike, so I always use mine nowadays!

Very Cool 👍

Mini has NO Maps!

Great video. I have been wanting one of those. Well done. New follower here. Crow✌️

Keep a recording of your mother in law complaing. Play it loudly to repel anything, including bears.

I bought one of the first inReach devices and still have it working and it saved my live near Kanchenjunga BC . Next to it I now use it during solo trips into Africa to let my family know where I am and safe and feedback If my parents or anyone else wants me to return home. ... ! It was worth any penny. .

No audio on right speaker.

Ok.but what do you wish you got instead

Great video! With this quality your channel is bound to grow!

Blimey....that was ..erm pacey...brisk....devils dandruff tempo

A nice balance of the two is attainable

Stunning

Thanks ❤❤❤

Just tell me why I drink more water climbing mountain, I run short. Getting dehydrated and no water anymore anywhere. Is it ok to survive with no water

I use a GPS (GPSMAP 67) for its numerous other functions than giving fixes and pixelated tracks, and the battery life is very decent, compared to smartphones. So, that is already here. The 67i or the mini have satellite communication with the rescue button. I am an average working person, and by no way frequently out in the wild, vacation disregarded. But when, I would rent an Inmarsat satellite phone, at about 100 $ per month or 4 $ per day. The mini costs once about 290 $ plus the abo, which can cost another 20 $ or 70 $ per month for the full functionality. In case of emergency, when I am in a distress or even wounded, this would be much easier to handle than the 67i or the mini or any similar device to SMS something to somebody without pairing the phone, and so on. And the barrier to initiate that costly rescue chain is none, because one can talk to friends, relatives, or whoever, and the Inmarsat phones of course also have that SOS function. That satellite rescue thing with preprogrammed "I am fine"-SMSses will IMHO be not very interesting, as the smartphone vendors still integrate Inmarsat in their devices.

Don’t buy food. Everyone hangs their food at night for free….

👍

Something a lot of people dont think about with these is that after you hit the SOS, you really need an effective way to communicate with rescue. With the 66/67 you can do this on device, but with the mini you really need a phone to type with (lets be real, the on device typing is horribly slow). Often a rescue will go through multiple groups (garmin, 911, medical professionals, forest service, coast guard...etc.) and each group needs specific information from you in real time to be the most effective. If your phone dies, effective rescue (including self rescue using its navigation) is massively reduced on the mini.

I was looking into Microspikes the past couple weeks or so. Kahtoola was the brand I was seriously considering. Glad you are confirming they would be a good purchase.

Got the 67i as it's so much easier to use and has way more features. It's also faster and more reliable. I used the mini 2 a few times for work, but opted for the 67i and I'm SO GLAD i did.

I think the BD Spot is a good mid range option thats reliable

From what I understand, the 67i has waaaay better battery life. It also has a much more accurate signal. Would those upgrades/improvements be enough for you to consider the 67i over the Mini 2? Or are you still happier with the Mini 2 even still?

A woolen kidney warmer weighs next to nothing, packs very small and will keep you warm even in the coldest weather. I lived at the arctic circle and the kidney warmer was the biggest game changer for me.

Absolutely amazing and helpful. Visit k2 and Nangaparbat view point. Whenever you start a short solo trip of 4-5 days, Moses Peak is a must. It is a 5300m height۔ from the top of moses pea which you can see the views of the K2 world second highest peak in the world, Nangaparbat, K6 k11 and K 12 views in one frame. best time from May to October. This is a family tracked.its open Zone, one did not need a trekking permit or have to pay Royalty fee to climbed this Mountain tower

Great vid good info and review. I got to check out that Stio jacket. Digging the channel btw. Keep it up

You probably know this already but those sizers also double as toe nail cutters. Hand when your client suddenly realizes there toe nail is cutting into there toes.

I'm not a rookie but I am not an expert, so I am glad I caught this video - most all of which I knew but a few points i didn't know / think of. Plus the things I already knew, you gave me a differant perspective to think things thru for planning. Thanks for sharing!

Good morning from the UK. Could you possibly do a segment on a day/overnight hike with a dog, please? Equipment and essentials, etc. Thank you. 👍🏼

Helpful upload my friend, nicely elaborated 👏

Fenix has a great line of head lamps i own a fenix HM71r a i enjoy using it.

Petzl Actik Core all day ! Love the functions, beam and brightness levels.
