What about suede hiking boots? I had used a was and all it did was make the leather a magnet for dust. Should I stick with a silicone type spray? Thanks

what if i got a little slash in my waders

where is the Unbound 40?"

Yes this is a good question. No doubt the right tool for the job is always best. Thus I purchased several different felling axes and a splitting axe. But in a pinch my forest axe will do it all. 😁

2:56 - Moondance is getting hammered by the wind because it’s not guyed out properly

Worth noting is that the Barent Pro is not made to be extra long but made to be fitted to you by a tailor. Hence, all the extra material

Saw the Altra Olympus 5 Hike Mid GTX in person and wasn't particularely impressed by the quality and doesn't seem like they would last very long in rocky terrain. The Olympus 6 on the other hand felt like a big leap both in quality and durability. I was very impressed by the fit and finish, hold, softer sole, even the laces felt better. I am currently between the Olympus 6 and Hoka Kaha 2, they're about the same price.

Great Video. Just a question. What part do you recommend should be against the wind (in windy condition)? To get the best setup

Do you find the 900ml pot hard to handle when it is full? I've seen some reviews discuss that issue.

Great explanation on purpose-built gear vs Instagram-gear

Hi Chris, I have been wearing Altras as my daily wear for a number of years and for a few long distance hikes. Normally, I would buy any of the their shoes in my normal 9.5 size, but for these boots, would you suggest treating them like a proper hiking boot and going up a size?

All the splitters have a metal collar as well.

I have a 600 single wall mug that I've had for 15 years. What I like to do, is to place it near the store/fire as I cook. It keeps my coffee/tea very warm for the entire cook. As you said, a double wall is not made for this inventive idea. I have a friend that saw me do this little best practice and converted to a single wall Snow Peak the very next day. If you're cooking, use your flame twice. Skillet

is this the 2 person or 1 person tent?

I have the ranger 3 nubuck can i use g wax wikk it ruin them?

I personally, never have any of my wet weather jackets on when around an open fire . Every time I have the smoke from the fire has masked the water repelling properties and the jackets wet out and leak. When this occurs the only way to rectify this is by reapplying the coating ( Nilfix )

What is the separate weight of the cup, pot and lid?

👍🏾

Would love to see more videos like this. Great episode. I’m about to do my first overnight hike so they were useful tips for me. Will have to try those life systems hand warmers. 🔥

The only thing with duct tape on poles is they potentially get wet/dirty/spoiled after bad weather or generally being out there, and you'd have to replace them every so often. For me, I wrap duct tape around the shaft of my backup bic lighter. It's always dry, I always carry it, etc.

Fantastic tips my friend, another great episode!

Good tips, my tip is don’t cook at night in the dark. 😊

Great tips, thanks! That first campsite is gorgeous. Did you say it was Lankeys Creek?

Nicely put. How would Vidda Pro Vented compare to Keb, in weight, durability, and general warmth? Thanks!

What would u use in your first aid for a snake bite?

thank you for this informative video. doing the overland track in Tassie next year and this video has been a great asset for choosing what bag to get for April next year -10 comfort all the way ahaha

it seems a small forest axe + some Finnish puukko or any other full tang alternative would be the best all-around choice. You would take a knife with you anyway. For a backpack small hatchet seems the best option.

I disagree on the grip: good hiking boots and good trail running shoes have the same grip. The former might even have the better grip because they are more easily bendable. Just compare top hiking boots and top trail-running shoes of Salomon: they have similar soles. Also disagree on waterproofing and breathability: if you compare goretex hiking boots and shoes, they have similar waterproofing properties, except that hiking boots are higher. Note that membrane boots and shoes will *not* keep your feet 100% dry: they are good if it is a bit wet, but in worse conditions (walking through wet grass) they both suck. And membrane takes more time to dry.

Very helpful video thanks! I should spend more time in the northern KNP and visit Tom’s on the way.

Room for snacks is key 👌🏾😂

I was anxious about watching your presentation on the bridge. Reminded me of when I was on a cruise to Fiji, an American tourist dropped their expensive DSLR camera over the side of the ship because he thought he had the strap around his neck.

Lots of good ideas here. Thanks for the video. 👌

Is it same dump this year?

Update. Went with two XPDs thanks to this video. (In 🇨🇦) The newer of the two is much lighter at 10lbs but the boats are a bit bulky packed. Any recommendation for good tracking, small packing boat for lske-to-lake style portaging and paddling trips including backpacking?

Impressed you showed all the features without it falling off the bridge rail..!

I love my Eja too I tested out so many packs. It is just so comfy looking ke it was made for my body. Thanks for posting your review

HMG doesn’t make great packs and the people that buy them just don’t know about better options.

Sounds like you hate the moondance. Couldn’t think of ONE good thing to say :P

The Eja is awesome... and still is light weight compared to the Aura and full featured packs.. FYI... snake bite kits really don't work at all.. :( (snake expert here)

With a 36 inch US inseam on leg length would any of there hemmed pants fit ? Or is the only option to go with un-hemmed

So great to see someone going against the grain! I bought the excess 58 last year and love it!

Excellent review. Thanks.

Where’s the plate to hold the charcoal? It doesn’t come with the kit?

video quality is great!! very underrated channel.

Super helpful, thank you!

Great Video!

Just use a power washer tbh

I really feel the cold. I'm not going to the snow, just Melbourne in winter. Should I get the 260?

Is there enough room inside to fit a pack?

Isn t it anoying that the white color turn fast into dirty color? What can we do against it? It is misfortunately the only deal breaker at the moment. The black one isn t an option for me because it is heavier
