    I bought the Elegear pad after your initial review and I will say the pad has done me great. It is super cost effective and I highly recommend it I was able to fit two people on it with a weight of about 330 pounds... Great pad but, you do need an extra pillow. Great reviews I cannot wait for this channel to blow up.

    This is a pretty interesting tent. I've had it for 2+ years now and have use it a few times. I feel ya...it's not a true 4-person tent due to that sudden taper towards the end. We lucked out and found 20"x66" Big Agnes Air Core sleeping pads on a clearance sale at the time. We can use tall/wide 25" pads in the middle for my wife and I, then use the shorter 20" wide Air Core pads on the sides for the kids. This way everything actually fits pretty well and can last a family of four with young kids quite awhile (or at least until they reach a height of 5'6" or better). it would be nice to have a true 4 person backpacking tent option in this weight class, but this was as close as I could find at the time. I also lucked out and got it on a super sale for about $230:).

    Not much choices if you like to have small, light and battery what is easy to change. I get zero fast when it turned up in my view. Everything what I get I look that it will last long long time. Build in batterys suck after 2-3 years normally if you use much.. Solid state batterys will fix that but still little more time that they go main stream more.

  • @kvernesdotten
    @kvernesdotten Місяць тому

    I had no idea this even was a thing. To me, the options were always use your mouth, bring a hand/foot operated pump, or bring a "real" inflator like a power tool brand one. When I think of it I might have seen some of these tiny ones before but ignored them because they seem like a cheap gimmick and physics say that moving air like that is a suprisingly energy intensive task. Now im kinda curious though, I absolutely do not need one of these but im kinda tempted to pick one up to play around with and see how useful they really are

    Not planning on swapping my Tinypump X for a Zero any time soon - or ever. For some of the reasons you give; it's a lantern and at a push a powerbank. Oh, I also don't really like removable batteries (especially as they're not a common size here). I mentioned these reasons to Flextail when they announced the Zero, so we'll see what they come up with in future. The only downside was that none of the included adaptors fitted my BA air pad. But I have a 3D printer, and it only took a couple of attempts to get it right.

    @matthewsinger Місяць тому

    I bought the Zero pump when it was still on its kidstarter campaign - it was $36 for the pump and a battery, so I considered that a deal. So far I haven't had any issues, though I've not used another pump to compare it to. But I suppose if it breaks or I need a second pump, I'll look into the tiny pump instead, unless something better comes along. I did like the concept of the zero pump - It's lighter (not as much of a concern) and more compact (a plus) than the tiny pump, and I like that the battery is removable and replaceable. I have a problem with gear that comes with built-in batteries because the battery typically goes before the rest of the components, requiring a whole new item when I could just replace the battery. That and I possibly have to carry a battery charger with me instead of a spare battery on longer trips.

      Seems logical - might want to be sure the 3p will actually fit you all though. There might be better options in the 4P category! You could always get one at REI and try it out and return it if it doesn't fit y'all well.

    100% agree! Tiny pump X for the win. I have tried many others and this is still the champ. There are higher kpa pumps but they are heavier and I just add an extra breath or 2 into the intake of the tiny pump X while running to top off anything if needed. Great video and comparison!
