Yes, that’s right. Tensioning the tent will make sure the tent has the best chance of extending over the footprint and allows a little give in the footprint, so it’s not pulled too tight directly over rocks, roots, etc. Often you can stake both the footprint and tent loops together and that is ok too. The other reason for prioritizing tensioning the tent body loops is to make sure your tent floor has the largest floor area and a tighter pitch. Hope this helps and happy camping!

Why? It sounds fine.

Yes! We’ve used it with several different brands with negligible difference in performance. Happy camping!

Welding supply

These are like the flint sparkers from chemistry class! They are also often used in welding so you can usually find them at welding or hardware stores. Lately we’ve been picking them up at Harbor Freight. You can find them online too, just search for flint striker or spark torch lighter. Happy camping!

I agree and disagree. I agree it dents easier than say something like a hydroflask. I have been using the gray aurora as my daily water bottle for the last 3 years. There are some minor dents from everyday use. But in my opinion, the dents give the bottle wabi-sabi character. The non-insulated has its benefits. I like to use my aurora water bottle to boil water on my backpacking stove for purification and freeze dried meals. Something you can't do with an insulated bottle. Not to mention this bottle is so much lighter than anything insulated. Something many backpackers can appreciate. Also, I have never had any issues with the cap breaking. I do think 150 is a bit too pricey but I have seen these go on sale for around 100. Definitely worth the pick up at that price.

​@@thomasedwaits a terrible bottle

@@hammloc to each their own. i think it fits my use cases well. if you want great craftsmanship and want to avoid buying chinese made products you cant beat it!

Hi elena6564, thanks for sharing your experience with the Riglet. We've definitely seen this with younger riders in that 1.5-2.5 yr range. Depending on their balance or interest it can take a while for them to start attempting a stance. They often just want to lay on it and "sled". This is a big part of why we rent these boards, so families can check them out first or maybe avoid buying some of the gear altogether as their kiddos are growing so fast. We also rent and recommend the Burton handlebar that mounts to the Riglet for riders in your age range. It helps them feel comfortable standing and naturally puts them in a rider's stance as they learn. Not sure about the Burton site feedback, that does sound super weird. Hope your lil shredder finds their winter passion at some point and best to you as you present all the options for them! Happy Riding!

I don't think the toddler not wanting to ride it justifies you getting your money back. Going immediately to something expensive is your own fault.

Not asking for money back, asking to merely POST my review. Burton DELETES negative reviews, which seems pathetic for a big company like themselves.

Your kid not enjoying snowboarding isn’t a negative review of the product though. That’s probably why they removed it.

Hi @madmaxthemotomutt6464, thanks for reaching out. Its hard to say -> depends on the weight of your tent body. Most are pretty negligible compared to bivy but worth weighing just the tent body and comparing it to the bivy you plan to use. You may save a few ounces/grams. I think the bigger difference is that your shelter will FEEL bigger and more airy w/o the tent body ->better ventilation too. As long as biting insects aren't too big of an issue where you are going, this can be a great option or just a bivy and a tarp set up - you can then use your trekking poles or sticks/trees found on site for your tarp and def save some weight. You'll probably need to camp out a lot of nights to properly test :). Happy camping!

Its a horrible bottle lol, stfu. I have a titanium bottle and its not garbage. This snowpeaks bottle is fckin garbage

Hi gary7vn, thanks for your feedback. This is one of our earlier videos and you will find most if not all of our newer content provides both standards. Thanks and happy camping!

This is definitely not the right bottle for your application. If you want to keep something hot or cold, please look for a double wall, vacuum insulated bottle. The Aurora is very very thin single wall titanium. It's designed to be incredibly light, but not keep things cold or hot, and you do have to be careful with it just like all ultralight gear. If you like Snow Peak, try the Kanpai insulated bottles. Hope you find a great insulated bottle for your needs and happy camping!

Yep, its a piece of overpriced crap

it's not supposed to keep the water cold... it's not an insulated bottle. really weird from Rhett and Link to compare these bottles, they serve very different purposes. that being said, the product is still somewhat useless. if you are out in nature and need something light to carry your water, you can just use simple plastic bottles - they are lighter and cheaper.

@@CirqRentals good point but how can you justify its questionable built quality? Seriously, its supposed to be an oudtoor bottle but it cant even handle a simple drop?

This is probably designed for city slickers who want to pretend like they have an ounce of business being out in the wilderness 😂.

Hi @kelle.rinaaa, please see our response below to @MichaelValencia. The same information would apply in your case. Let us know if you have any additional questions and happy camping!

Hi @MichaelValecia, thanks for reaching out with your question. Every vendor (and tent for that matter) fits the FP a little differently. Most do allow for a little play with the FP underneath, mainly so it can provide some slide between the tent and FP as well as so it's not so taught when you pitch on something sharp. The tighter that FP is the more likely it is to wear or puncture, or worse pass the issue into your tent floor (or your back!). The CS does seem to be more loose than most, so we get what you're feeling. Harbor Freight and most hardware stores sell a grommet kit (pretty cheap). You can grab one of these and with the tent set up and FP staked tight underneath, mark where tighter grommets might sit. Then you can add 4 new grommets and that should be a viable long term option for you. Beyond that or sewing on new ribbons or shock cord, two tips to try for you would be to carry extra stakes and just pull the FP out/stake it independent of staking the tent body. For us the weight implication and extra step is dubious, but this would get the FP tight for you. You could also use short straight sticks you find around camp as 'stakes' to accomplish this mission. One other trick to try would be to clip the FP into the rainfly instead of the tent (even when using the tent body). Then as you pull the adjusters tight you'll be pulling the fly down and the FP up, and that would get it tighter. You'd want to have the FP staked out well for this to work. And...as you mention you could also just go without the FP depending on where you are camping and how abrasive the surface and how vigilant you are at selecting a site and removing sharps. You just may wear your tent floor out a little sooner this way but many opt for this option, saving weight at the same time. Happy camping!

Thanks, really appreciate the nod! We will be back this spring with more tents, products, recipies, etc. Stay tuned and looking forward to getting our production schedule back up in '24. Let us know if there is anything specific you'd love to see beyond more SP & BA. Happy camping!

@@CirqRentals Thanks for your response! Not sure if Cirq Rentals has Big Agnes shelters in stock but it would be nice to see a walkthrough of a Big Agnes Canyon Shelter :)

Its not self pitching, that's for sure! Like a lot of things camping, it's really not too bad after you've done it a few times, and especially smooth with two people. You can also go without the takibi liner if you aren't doing a fire and that's one less step. You get an eye for where to stake the end anchors and the rest is pretty quick from there. It's when you have to keep moving stakes or readjusting that it can get frustrating. In our opinion its worth having this or something like it pitched in the "off season" especially so you have a sheltered place to cook and gather for your group. Nothing like sitting around the fire with your peeps in a rain or snow shower. Thanks for you note and happy camping!

Love it! That's a great reason to go with the bike pack. I wish tent vendors would offer an after purchase pole upgrade option to the shorter sections. Thanks for sharing and happy camping!

Glad it was helpful for you, happy camping!

They're so sweet, definitely an everyday investment. Happy camping!

Hi tonyle21! That's right, they're not "designed" for the resort since they don't have a steel edge and won't carve and stop as well as one with tuned edges. The Chopper is great if you are looking for one with edge. The Riglet is really built for backyards, local parks, etc. If you have a local training hill, then YES, absolutely. We also find them to be pretty good learners on the magic carpet areas and extreme bunny hills/runs and I think that is what you mean. Several of our customers have rented and taken these to resorts and shared they preferred them over the boards with steel edges for their kids because the Riglet is more forgiving as little shredders are learning their turns and edging. Not sure if lift operators or other resort staff would prohibit their use up true lifts, but the carpets and adjacent hills should be fine for the Riglet and early learners. Hope this helps and happy riding!

Hi, great question. We're not that familiar with the difference between the two models you mention but as you state, it looks as though the 110R comes with the butane/CB adapter. Looking at them, they seem to have the same specs, handle, etc. the only difference appears to be the adapter. We're not able to order or view any specs on our dealer portal for the 110R so that indicates it's likely a JP only model, with the 120 being the Snow Peak USA variant. I'm guessing US regulations or some state specific regulations make it difficult or prohibitive to sell the 110R. My personal torch is an older version (not sure model #) of the SP torch and it does NOT have a handle (the fuel canister serves as the handle) but it did come with a canister adapter and was originally purchased in the US. Our recommendation would be to find a used torch on eBay or somewhere and verify it has the adapter you are looking for or as you mention perhaps there is a generic third party OD to CB canister adapter out there. Good luck getting your torch configuration just right and happy camping!

So true! Gear to hand down to your grans. Thanks for sharing and happy camping!

Hi PhilSo! Thanks for your question. We haven't noticed the anodization fading necessarily over time, but you will get scrapes and scratches which make it appear less vibrant over time. Because of the grooved surface texture scratches are less impactful than on other perfectly smooth bottles out there. We see those earned imperfections as part of the character or wabi sabi of the piece. And, yes, you're right on with fire usage - it will just get blackened and sooty. If you intend to use it over the fire regularly (not just for an emergency boil) then we'd recommend the standard Ti finish. One other old school hack for any pot/pan or bottle is to coat the exterior surface with bar soap or liquid soap (and let it dry on) before usage over the fire and this usually makes them easier to clean after the fact getting most or all of the soot off. Otherwise that soot is tricky or impossible to remove. Hope this helps and happy camping!

Hi kevinslobody! Snow Peak designs and recommends these for outdoor use only and we echo that sentiment. The CO and other exhaust is one issue, but also just the use of detachable fuel bottles, seals that wear over time or get introduced to debris, etc. there's just a lot that can go wrong indoors or inside a tent. We will say that the fuel consumption and output is very low on the mini flame so of all stoves and lanterns out there it probably has one of the lower exhaust quotients. Certainly it would work well for emergency scenarios where you have an outdoor porch/patio or other well ventilated area in which to use it as a light source or ambience. I think in your scenario an inexpensive LED lantern or headlamp would be a better indoor emergency alternative. Hope this helps and happy camping!

Hi badkid73, thanks for your comment. Agree, such craftsmanship, and I suspect you are right they all originate from the epicenter of fine Japanese metalwork and engineering. I'm not sure on present day manufacturing but I know SP started in Niigata because of the skilled artisans and still host their global HQ there. Probably 10-12 km from Sanjoy. Thanks for sharing your expertise and happy camping!

Hi Jonathan, thanks for you comment. We were trying to show what one can expect in more real world conditions; cool weather, breeze, conserving some fuel for the rest of your weekend, etc. Most of the manufactures including Snow Peak openly share the perfect standard temperature and pressure boil times with throttle full bore. We were just trying to show what you might expect on a normal campout. We also find, and perhaps just anecdotally that with open stoves like this on narrow pots with the output full on, a lot of your heat and fuel efficiency is lost up and around the side to the atmosphere. We appreciate the comment, and looking to the future, may do both a 'real world' med/high output as well as a fully open boil time for comparison. Thanks for the note and happy camping!

Hi mrmods, thanks for sharing your comment. Most of the time with this tent we use it w/o the awning feature and it works incredibly well just as any backpacking tent with standard vestibules. In fact the extra zip for the awning feature has actually made it easier to get in/out and gives you one more option for getting to your gear. Depending on where you are camping and available deadfall, you can also fashion awning poles easily from fallen branches if you still want to use the awning, but aren't using trekking poles on your trip. Personally, I use this tent all the time, but I rarely use the awning, often pushing miles and going straight to set up, food, sleep. This tent is so popular for a reason, with or without active use of the awning feature! Is there a tent vestibule or awning feature that you prefer to use or recommend? Always looking out for great gear! Happy camping!

Somebody's not paying attention.

Yes! You CAN run it while sitting/charging on the charger base. Good suggestion. Happy camping!

REI sells it

Hi Alarishicare, you can purchase the Field Barista Coffee Grinder from our site at: cirq-rentals.com/for-sale/new/products/buy-snow-peak-field-barista-coffee-grinder/ They are also available from Snow Peak, REI and others. Happy Camping!

Great question amycamp7374! We'd consider packed weight the "true weight" of the tent. It's what the tent with all its components weighs at the time you buy it. The "trail weight" is some form of the tent, fly, and poles w/o the weight of the stuff sacks, or often even the stakes, repair sleeve or guy lines included. It's essentially the lightest assemblage of the tent you could take and still sleep in it. Each manufacturer is a little different in what they do or do not include in trail weight, but you can often reach out to them to ask what's included in their spec when preparing for a purchase. Generally in practical use most of us bring all the guy lines, stakes, repair sleeve, and stuff sacks on our trips anyway so we recommend paying the most attention to "packed weight" when making a buying or rental decision. As you progress, you might change the stuff sack system you use for your personal tent, replace your stock stakes for Ti or Carbon and then you can weigh your set up to get your own "trail weight" for you preferred shelter system. We kind of view the manufacturer's 'trail weight' as a marketing effort to bring down the perceived weight of the tent. Let us know if you have additional questions and happy camping!

It's not half bad in normal wind or breezy conditions. We haven't tested it in full gale, but usually we're hunkered in the tent in those conditions anyway. It was actually pretty windy the evening the night portion of this video was filmed. The aperture adjustments allow you close it down and nearly 'seal it off' from the wind, and some airflow adds to the flicker. Thanks for you note and happy camping!
