Thank you Joseph!
Glad to see no one solo hiking. Or so it seemed at first. With all the warning signs, I’m surprised the guy continued.
Very nice video! I wonder if you could help me with this? My family is renting a house on Smith Lake for our family reunion in November. Would you know if flying over the lake requires a special permit, other than the rules we find through the FAA? Thanks for your help!
Doesn't the dirty water on the outside drip into your mouth when you drink it like that?
Where i had family gatherings, cookouts, where I always wanted to live!❤
Love that!
doing this hike in about a month! loved the video, definitely gave me some insight into what to expect! ps: what camera did you use to record?
Thanks! Hope you enjoy! Canon EOSR
@@josephsbackpackingchannel45 thanks for the response! & yes, great video, i’ve enjoyed it. keep up the good work!
Finally, a review from someone who sleeps the same as me!!!! I have tried pretty much the same pillows as you, never completely satisfied, and thought this Nemo pillow might be the one. After watching your review, I'm convinced it will be perfect! Off to buy one now :)
This tent looks very appealing... but can it be pitched fly first, or inner + fly together?
What shoes are those sir? Thank you
Finally, the review I was looking for. Thank you
Can i have your king pillow then 😊
Lol
this or Mt. leconte summit?!
Just did this same hike yesterday. Campsite 1 is definitely the move. That little Rock shelf right on the lake was some of the best stargazing in this area.
Don't know if your smile or those views are more beautiful! You're a beautiful soul
What pad is that?
Nemo Tensor Insulated. Looks like regular length - wide version.
im going to hike this next week any tips?
Looks like I missed your comment a few weeks back. Hope your hike went well. My advice would have been to try to wait for a sunny day. It's often cloudy and you don't get the full experience of all the amazing views.
You really feel like you've accomplished something on this trail after completion. It's extremely beautiful but you'll definitely want your shoes strapped on tight, it can test you if your not ready.
Beautiful
Is this a kid friendly trail?
As far as the terrain goes, it is safe for kids. It's about a 10 mile hike total though. Probably 6-8 hour day hike with kids. They could potentially be tired and whining a bit on the way down.
Can I ask where you parked? Going tomorrow for a 3 day trek
Like how the vestibule has extra tie outs & skirting: great for bad weather. One could always prop up the skirt, but when the dust & snow blows bet it is nice. The body looked a bit slack in this video, where stretched out a bit more might have pulled some fabric away from the sleep area. Some companies suggest staking the body first to stretch it, then the poles. I had the Dragonfly Bikepack (freestanding, 4 feet) and thought the simple three-pole, semifreestand design made sense. With the more poles & extra hub came more confusion, poles flopping everywhere. The floor was sturdy on the tent I got, so that one being the Hornet platform, perhaps it was a bit thinner. Do you like this tent still? Kiuiu or Copper Spur? Short poles on the bikepack tent I had were nice, because it easily fit in my pack, but the more I study, distance folks keep the poles separate anyway. I can see keeping the poles separate as not to pop that thin tent fabric or sit on your pack & break a pole.
In June I'll be heading to Tennessee for a week of Fiery Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
Thank you for this review. Very helpful!
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Show the flow rate ...
Good review thanks.
hi, it works for side sleeper ?
I imagine it would. I'm a stomach sleeper, and its the most comfortable pillow I've found to suit me for backpacking.
@@josephsbackpackingchannel45 Do you think the regular size is enough or the Luxury (longer) bring much more confort for the extra weight ?
@@TanukiParis The luxury size is still an ultralight pillow. It's only 4 oz. The regular size is 3 oz. I'd go with the luxury. The weight difference is minimal.
@@josephsbackpackingchannel45 For 1 oz more if I can get a better sleep in the back country I will go for the luxury. Thanks!
Been looking at these for a whie now. Might pull the trigger on the smaller ones. We loved the FG trail, and your video on it was cool as well. Check out our chammel if you get a chance, we subbed, looking forward to more :)
Thanks!
Thanks. I just picked this up today - I didn't see the instructions on the stuff sack, so thanks!
How you like it?
@@kee7678 I hate it lol
Lol Sorry you didn't like it.
Have you compared the regular fillo luxury to the fillo elite luxury? The regular luxury seems to have a larger stuff sac and use foam. I’m leaning towards the elite because of stuff sac size but wondering if you have tried them both?
No I haven't tried the regular nemo fillo luxury. I tried the nemo fillo king, and that is super comfortable. It's just not light enough or small enough for a backpacking trip (3:40 in the video). It's hard to beat the fillo elite luxury if you need something lightweight and packable for a backpacking trip.
Did you get one? which one? How you like it? I"m in same boat.
@@kee7678 I ended up getting the fillo elite luxury and definitely for the weight and packability it was way more comfortable than the other blow up pillows I’ve tried
@@CharlesBlank I just got that one too. I slept on it here at home and it worked great. Super happy I finally found decent, lightweight, small comfortable pillow!
I like how you showed us what you normally sleep on before telling us about your pillow journey. Mighty helpful 👍
Thanks for taking me on this hiking trip, now I gotta get in shape to view this with my own eye's. Again thank you
I'm going to 2p. thnx.
Good choice!
Great video!
Thanks!
Bro, this video was made for me. We have the same exact pillow requirements lol. Thanks!
Hello from sunny California. This video makes me feel I am there hiking the fiery gizzard. Can’t wait to see the follow up video as you push the tire up the rest of the trail.
Do they have bear boxes to store our food?
i don't recall those.
@@josephsbackpackingchannel45 Actually they don't. We went, and they didn't have any.
There is one bear box near the office for motorcyclist and people on foot.
Just subbed, how long this trip take[total]?
It was a full day trek for us. Got to the trailhead around 7am and got back down to the bottom around 3pm or 4pm. We took our time though. I'd say the average hiking time would be about 7-8 hours round trip for this trail. If you're a quick hiker you could finish sooner than that though.
The scenery is beautiful. Awesome hiking video :)
Thanks!
I've currently got the thermarest compressable pillow and I like its firmness. I'm guessing that since you likened this to a down pillow, that it's pretty soft?
You can adjust the firmness based on how much you blow it up. It's all air inside. The outside cover of the pillow is soft though.
Very nice campground.
Looks like a nice area.......
Now I need to find a review that's just as good but done by a side sleeper who actually does NOT like down pillows (my preference - I hate down pillows)
I ordered one of these today. Hopefully it’s as comfortable as you say! I actually thought the part where your head lays had a layer of foam but that must be one of the other fillo pillows instead?
I hope you like it.
Same w me...hmmm. How do you like yours now Mark ? I'm about to order one...
Not 5 miles from my home! One of the most senic places on earth!
I just hiked this yesterday, December 4, 2021, my second time. Absolutely LOVE the beauty, challenge and exercise this hike offers!
love your videos! keep the good work subbed #104
