I already knew about the 125cal./1oz rule, so I almost passed up your video. I’m glad I didn’t. Thanks for the video. But most importantly thanks for the time that it took to put it all together. As time is the most valuable asset we have as human beings. Take care 👍🏽

Thank you for a great video, sir! Very rare to see this level of scientific argumentation and references. However, without having any published studies to reference, I can with almost absolute certainty tell you that you are mistaken about the mold part of the video. As a quick bagground info, I work as head of R&D for an undisclosed but pretty big brand producing, amongst other things, sleeping pads of all sorts. As part of my responsibilities, I communicate with our claims and costumer support department, as well as our production facilities and R&D engineers, so I see all of the not so sexy behind the scenes details of the outdoor gear industry. Sleeping pads (such as the Thermarest ones in the referenced videos) will most often be made from TPU laminated nylon as well as having inner layers of clear TPU film for structure and compartmentalization. What people forget to mention is, that the expensive top-level sleeping pads are often using antimicrobial film or treatments in their pads (which is part of the reason they are so darn expensive). Naturally, a super expensive top-level pad with antimicrobial materials/treatments, will (often, not always though) be free of mold growth. However, when you investigate pads from a price point a bit below Thermarests top pads, you find that one of the reasons for a cheaper price, is also cheaper materials/lack of treatments. Without disclosing models or brands, I can tell you that even some of the markets kinda cheaper but otherwise very well performing pads in parameters such as R-values, weight, great comfort etc., will have mold growth inside them - but only on pads made of outer fabrics of bright colors and low linear density fibers (Denier) will the dark mold growths be visible. For some models, as many as >5% of items solds will result in claims by customers for excessive mold growth. Some sleeping pads will (despite using pumpbags, electric pumps or similar to inflate) be absolutely riddled with dark mold growths within just a few usages - if of course the conditions are "right" (/wrong). If you want, I can in a private communication provide you with photographic evidence and more specific details? Thanks again, you have gotten a new subscriber!

because you are doing that in warm garage. thays why "no benefits" from lid

Gram wheenies!!! Not counters.... :)

There's a great deal of science that shows copper is essential to human health. Removing it all isn't mission-critical. Obviously, copper kills all viruses and bacteria, so it has been extremely important in water treatment for millennia.

Fantastic! Thank you!

Im thinking ghee, parmigiano reggiano cheese, nutritional yeast, fortified date squares with berries and other nutrients added, homemade electrolyte and fruit juice gummies made with gelatin, beef jerky or pemican, algae tablets or dried seaweed, a variety of teas and instant coffee, powdered milk tablets if they exist, and raw honey. I would also add a variety of dried fruits and berries for the nutrient variety and fiber content, and maybe some greens powder for the micronutrients. One thing people forget to factor in is insoluble fibre that aids digestion despite not having nutritional value. Things like oat bran assuming you have enough calcium to balance the phosphate would help for avoiding constipation allot, one of the most overlooked and major problems.

You said “mind your munchies “ 😂😂😂😅 I’m dead! 😅

Your voice kind of reminds me of the man who used to narrate unsolved mystery’s lol

Outstanding information

That's how you make an excellent and complete informative video. Loved the scientific approach

Canadian Army used inflated pads, the carry case doubled as an inflation bag. Found in extreme cold some who blew it up by mouth could not deflate in the morning because the valve froze. Figured some saliva would get in there also as they blew.

doing the Lord's work lol, well done. pretty sure UA-cam sent me here after watching a video where a guy used a Soto Amicus and went through 2 canisters and into a 3rd while his partner was still on their first canister using a Jetboil Minimo. These setups really seem to shine over long-haul scenarios where the efficiency really pays off. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

Very interesting! I am a boot hiker, always have been, but was wondering about switching to trainers for lightness. Good to know that, at my speeds, with the flexibility of my boots, I wouldn't be gaining anything. I love my high and mid boots. They've carried me far.

I enjoyed this video as I’ve been looking into heat exchanger pots and stove combos in the future I’d love to see a comparison on heat exchanger setups vs wind shielded setups and fuel use. You may also want to check out the Bulin stove and pot combo the fins on the bottom of the pot are longer and covered with an additional cup piece on the bottom of the pot I’d be interested to see the correlation of the exchanger pots and their types of fins and the length of the fins.

So well done. Thank you

This guy. THIS GUY. He answered questions I didn't even know I had.

Wicked surprising. Not the results, but the entertainment value. How is it possible that a cannot suffer regular speed through an 8-12 minute gear review video with all sorts of effort put into cinematography, but I could not bear to fast forward even one minute of this video!

First off, thank you. These videos have me looking at my food in a completely different way. I have a question, how much water do you add to your recovery drink?

What about using the skin turgor test (ie pinching the back of your knuckles and watching how quickly it bounces back) as an additional guide to hydration levels in the context of hiking? Is that something useful to monitor? It seems to have the convenience of being done on demand, rather than only when the urge to pee comes and having to judge the colour under uncertain lighting and background colour conditions.

Thank you so much Ive been looking all over for someone with the knowledge to be able to dissect this wonderful idea

I love your videos, but I think they would be more, um, palatable and understandable if you cut them down to a third of the length, and then had a separate video with all the details in case someone wanted to do a deep dive. Also, I would adjust the overhead camera so the viewer doesn’t feel like they are hanging upside down. But amazing content nevertheless.

Dude I am blown away by this video. I fully intended to just grab the highlights but here I am an hour later. I can't believe I am only just now finding your channel. Keep up the great work

Interesting, nice to see scientific method applied to testing gear. How about testing painting the base of your pan black, would that increase fuel efficiency? Would be interesting to know.

Slight quibble: R-value is not "resistance to conductive heat." The measurement is heat transfer mechanism agnostic.

This guy is the Carl Sagan of Camping 🏕

Loved it. I am a Mech Eng and spent 4 years doing heat transfer and fluid flow. As I said loved it.

Adding something that's rarely discussed, extreme temp changes. Example, was in a very hot environment for months up to 125° , then was sent to Germany for a bit for training, then back to the gates of hell. That short time in a much cooler environment "snow on the ground" kicked my butt. Was consuming 3 GALLONS of fluids, 2 liter of water to 1 liter of electrolytes. Here's what I found and experienced, when exposed to such a extreme temperature change your skin begins to filter your blood similar to your kidneys. Your sweat will smell like PISS. Only had to pee 4 times the entire day but that was in the afternoon. Something else I observed was my bodies desire to clear the bowels out to help with absorption. That 3 days without water is for someone in an air conditioned environment and not performing any activities.

I have a question for you! Given that we need water, what is the big deal about consumables with lots of water weight? Does getting it by eating just reduce the number of times we hit our water bottles? Food for thought (pun intended). Thanks for the awesome vids, and Happy Glycogen-preserving!

Something I'm curious about is a different design on the heat exchangers. A coiled exchanger design should retain most of its efficiency and reduce the effect of wind. You also discussed how often people resupply, resupplying often is not efficient and adds steps. I'm one of those oddballs that has no issue going a month without going to town.

How many hours did you spend getting us these awesome nerding out facts?

This has been on my mind lately, happy i found this

Probably my favourite outdoor channel period. Thanks for doing what you do. I will continue to refer people to your content!

I cannot express the level of gratitude and appreciation I have for your content! The scientific comparisons and breakdowns are invaluable. You're amazing!

I used to lay asphalt for a living, 10-14 hrs per day 5 days per week. Our machine and work area routinely exceeded 140°F and in the hottest parts of summer was touching 160°F. It must be possible for the human body to learn to operate at much higher than 2% dehydration. Not a single one of us ever consumed more than 2.5 gallons of liquid per day and nobody died. Human bodies are indeed a marvel of workmanship, maybe not the best engineered lol. This makes me want to touch on the symptoms of dehydration. Nobody ever talks about the very 1st symptom being a runny nose. If you are out in the heat and you notice your nose has started running, you better start hydrating. If it has reached the next stage of less sweat, find shade and hydrate. After this comes the shakes, this is dangerous territory and will likely need ice/cold running water and hydration supplements. Next is loss of muscle strength/motor control. At this point, and any point past this, medical assistance may be required Vomiting at any of these stages requires immediate medical assistance.

Brilliant channel.

This man is a national treasure. Protect him at all costs

You could test the flame gap theory with the Petrel. Run it with the pot supports in the slots and then with it not in the slots. Everything remains the same, except the gap.

Favorite glucose recovery treat. Mt. Dew is the nectar of the gods.

Hypothesis, one could probably take the Petrel pot and not use those slots for the stove arms, increasing the gap and allowing the flame to develop in the center of the pot, and possibly increasing efficiency. (Possible downside instability.)

The nerd in me rejoices!

Getting ready for a 5 day 4 night trip to a place that requires bear cannister. Thank you for this. I think I am going to repack my dehydrated meal packs into ziplocks because wow they do take up a lot of space without repacking them.

Awesome! Like always is!

Thank you for the time and patience in compiling information and making it easily digestible

TL;DR The quoted paper is not science, hence the recommendations are suspect, read Waterlogged book by Noakes. You quote 2009 article by "a Canadian elite-level runner and triathlete. He received a Ph.D. in organic chemistry ", which presents "a mathematical and scientific model". One major flaw, that renders all his calculations irrelevant is "The sodium content of sweat is set at 40 mM (range 20-80 mM) meaning that 1 L of sweat would contain 920 mg of sodium". The fact is sodium loss rate slows down as serum Na goes down! The author should have read Waterlogged more closely and so should the author of this video. Why would you base your recommendations on some obscure not peer reviewed web article? Yes, it's hard to find good science on hydration, but start with the Waterlogged book. Cheers.

Petrel has the benefit of adjusting the burner gap. Be interested to know results of petrel if burner isn't used inside the slots.

Wow man - this is truly some hard work. I hope you reach an excellent amount of views some day for this effort. I will tell all my friends and family about this. Thanks for your research and brilliance!

Great review. I just received the Petrel and I did quick tests with brs300 and pocket rocket 2, and I had 4gr for 500gr water. Also they ship a set where they have Hornet stove which has pretty high distance to the pot. So I think stove choice is making a difference for Petrel.

Gear skeptic, you are the greatest. Thank you. I would love to see a video breaking down the best method of air mattress repair. I saw a method using hot glue that looked pretty promising. Thanks again!
