I find it funny how the smallest creators have the best videos on gear topics.

[@tommy-vella]

Just trying to be helpful and honest. Thank you 😊

[@MrStoffin]

Superb video…you have a new subscriber..keep the videos coming…this one is extremely helpful

[@chromakin]

Really glad I stumbled upon your channel! Love your beautiful smile, delivery, and style of video editing! Look forward to following your journeys ;-)

[@tommy-vella]

So happy to have you here! Thank you for your kind words :)

[@vaiciits]

Great video! I had doubts when this showed up in recommendations, but gave it a go and turned to be very cool!

[@tommy-vella]

Thank you! I am happy that you gave it a chance :)

[@gornyboy]

I usually dont watch small channels when youtube suggests them but this time you really got me hooked. Great quality content, really helpfully 👍 keep it up

[@tommy-vella]

That’s so nice to hear. Thank you so much! Happy that I could help.

[@hazetheherd2214]

Brilliant video , liking the gas canister sock , not seen that before , not aware of the Solomon soft flask either , Thankyou 😊

[@tommy-vella]

@@hazetheherd2214 I found this sock in Japan and thought it was a gimmick but it is perfect to protect the pot. The Salomon Filter was designed for trail running but I love it for hiking. Thank you for your support 🙌

[@sdnalyam]

Regarding the ratings on sleeping bags. If they are tested to the ISO rating then for example a O Degree Comfort rated bag will perform the same regardless of brand. If your bag is for example ISO rated Comfort -2 and you get cold and the temperature is above -2 then you need to get a warmer rated bag. Also what you eat before going to sleep makes a big difference, take a small container of olive oil and add some oil to your evening meal.

[@tommy-vella]

Yes. You are right. They are comparable and I am super happy that this rating system exists. I am just a warm sleeper and need a warmer sleeping bag :) The food is a great tip and if I remember correctly fat will keep warm for way longer than sweet food. Oil should work great. Thank you!

Banger vid!

[@tommy-vella]

Thank you 🙏

[@rochittalera]

Good video Sir. Love from India

[@tommy-vella]

Thank you!

[@outdoorhannah]

Thank you for all your tips!

[@tommy-vella]

It is a pleasure :)

[@thejimbow]

Are your trail runners waterproof? Does it matter anyway? Love your video from Iran

[@tommy-vella]

These ones are not. I get quite sweaty in water proof shoes. Especially in summer. For fall and winter season I have got a water proof pair of trail runners: The North Face Vectiv Futurelight

[@thejimbow]
