The whole time you were mentioning products by name, there were little pop ups with sponsored link to REI and Walmart offering the products mentioned. I sure hope people aren't clicking on those thinking they are your store. Also, I ordered from your store a while ago and it was great. You really are doing good things, Ryan.
Oh, I wish the shipping to europe was cheaper. I love what you doing, I want every store to be like this. Keep up the great work and maybe one day you will expand even to here. Great video!
That is very interesting! I never heard of MAPP and that it was a thing. Thank you for sharing and for everything you are doing in the climbing community.
That grey and red Cypher locker is one of the lightest lockers in the world at like 30ish grams - I use em for holding things like 8 foot slings, and they are phenomenal to have around considering how cheap they are - definitely small, but good.
very cool video. I like watching break expensive things, but it's nice to see what's going on with the store and to get an idea of what to look for. thanks.
I'd love to see you test the Beal "Escaper" single strand emergency rappel system. It's an interesting friction wrap to hold single strand retrievable rope, and is released by shaking it off.
Super excited for the rubmaster video! I'd also like to see rub tests with dry vs normal ropes when in contact with dirt and also dirty vs washed rope maybe
Can you test a Portuguese Bowline with forward facing loop…I want to repel off of this but don’t know which way would be best. Off the bite,running end, or butterfly into the bite with the running end. Thanks
Maybe I'm wrong but I remember when you guys first launched the store that you said you would carry arborist equipment at some point. Is this still coming or did I hear wrong?
Climbing, caving and canyoning gear first. I need to stop running out of stuff and get all the variations of everything before "branching" out. We are also prepping for a potentially completely 2nd channel dedicated to arborists but I need to make sure the core channel has a great flow first
Just like you will often find that American branded gear will cost more through European retailers. (Once you factor in shipping from Europe, if you were to just buy a Nano Trax or a Spock, you won’t be saving much if anything usually). Also 68€ is approximately $72, you can easily find a Nano Trax for $75 in the States. It pays to shop around if you’re buying online. If you happen to have a good local/‘mom n pop’ brick and mortar store in your town then it’s well worth supporting them. Even if it costs a few bucks more.
@@brianrodman1033 unfortunately the nearest shop from my home that sell this type of gear is at 1h in car. So I bought online. And yes, here in Europe hapen the same with brands like Patagonia BD … little discounts
Brake test idea I would love to see test of the edelrid pinch there has been a lot of controversy over its Carabinerless design I'm confident that it's super good enough but mabe a pull test could help with the gear fear of this product thank u Ryan iv been Bing watching your videos I love them u are far the best on UA-cam keep doing what u are doing
I dont know if mips is safer because I haven't seen HowNOT2's helmet buster saga yet (lol just pulling legs)... look, I know its not cool to make helmets look useless and create fear by dropping shit on em, but It would be so educational and I ponder the failure modes and what would kill you or injure you and what would not. how high and how heavy must something be to be a danger to the nogin? that is, what is the mass to potential energy ratio that is safe for a helmet? that and big bro tests, I have been looking forward to for a long time
Just as a point of data to this: I've seen a ton of industry testing on mips helmets for bicycles and they do indeed make a big difference in certain kinds of accidents. I imagine in this case it wouldn't be a big difference for a falling rock, but it might save you from a concussion if you get a leg wrapped up in your rope and end up whacking the back of your head against the wall. Never really thought about it but I updated to mips for MTB, but still using a basic plastic dome for climbing. Maybe I should take advantage of the sale 😂
Virginia Tech have done a whole bunch of helmet testing over the past 10 years for various sports (yet to do climbing, potential for a collab?) which has done a lot to make them safer across the board - particularly for ice hockey.
Any idea when 10mm stainless (316 or 316L) rappel rings and 10mm stainless anchor carabiners will be back in stock? Cannot wait to place my order for a bunch of stuff to save on shipping to the other side of the world 😁
working on all those items. We have to order larger and larger quantities and that just slows everything down. We will have a LOT of every bolting item. We already are getting 1000-3000 of the core stuff finally.
Ive noticed some camp gear is made in china. Yet google says its italian. Although your excellent at breaking our gear fear, i wont trust china. At least for life safety. But has anyone had any issues with anything camp brand? I cant imagine all their stuff is made in china.
If you’ve been following this channel at all, you know, this is like the first video of it’s kind Ryan has ever posted. He has shared such an incredible amount of value for absolutely free with our community, for such a long time, I think he’s earned the right to have a little commercial for his own store, with once a year killer deals. If you unsubscribe because of this one post, you are definitely missing out.
@@johngo6283this is so true! Ryan never pushes buying gear on his viewers he just gives us the option to have a great place to buy from now. And I can say first hand their customer service is unmatched
This channel is the opposite of “hype” (in the way you mean it) in so many ways. His whole set up is welcoming and informative for beginners, but targeted at serious climbers who might be spending money impulsively but aren’t doing it capriciously…I, for one, am happy to spend money I shouldn’t his way. I’m a grown up. I do what I want!
You always joke about how petzl (or whoever) would never sponsor you because you abuse/break their stuff. So.... now you sell their stuff.... do they still hate you ?
Sale schedule is at 00:15. I forgot to mention Ocun's 8mm 60cm dyneema slings will be $6.71 starting Thursday Nov 21st.
Yes it's an ad, but it's an ad I actually want to watch. Thank you guys for everything you do for us!
Thank you for the transparency.
I love the insights into your business.
It's actually very interesting to see how these things work
The whole time you were mentioning products by name, there were little pop ups with sponsored link to REI and Walmart offering the products mentioned. I sure hope people aren't clicking on those thinking they are your store.
Also, I ordered from your store a while ago and it was great. You really are doing good things, Ryan.
Wow, I really have zero reason to shop big e-stores now. Thank you!
Best of luck with your business venture! If deserving factors in, it will be wildly successful! 👍🏼
I can't believe how much kit you managed to fit into that place!! Really glad you're doing well 👍👍👍👍👍
Some good deals for us folks not in the climbing industry, thanks!
Oh, I wish the shipping to europe was cheaper. I love what you doing, I want every store to be like this. Keep up the great work and maybe one day you will expand even to here. Great video!
2:24 - Trango messed up big time when they changed their color scheme. If you like black diamond choose all new random colors for the cams,
On the MIPS. Va tech has the only independent testing of bicycle helmets and in that world the top 30ish tested helmets ever all have MIPS
The only commercial id ever want to watch.
Sincerely, a guy who flips off every ad
Great video. As others said I appreciate the transparency.
FYI you have some website subcategories that don't work. One example: Climbing > Soft Goods > All Soft Goods.
That is very interesting! I never heard of MAPP and that it was a thing. Thank you for sharing and for everything you are doing in the climbing community.
You are legendary, brother!
...bit disappointed not to see any passive pro get a mention tho... Poor tri--cams 😢

Good luck with the sale
Yall need to team up with JJ for ice/dry climbing engineering content.
Do you ship to Europe yet? I know you were looking at it...

Epic of you to do this, any word on when you’ll get more pinches?
Wait. Is it better to buy from the REI affiliate link or at the store?
We don’t have affiliate links except with Rocky talkie. REI is the competition 😂
possible to have black diamond white gold chalk in stock? :)
As you stock blue ice stuff please test their alpine runners
Spoc in Europe is at 55€ and petzl nano trax 68€ way cheaper than in US
I think they have to be imported to the US, and theres fees associated with that
Just like you will often find that American branded gear will cost more through European retailers.

They also don't have MAPP in Europe
Great Inventory!!
Are the brands shown at 0:15 the ONLY brands with sales? I am looking for Fenix light sales. Thanks! Snagged some of the PMI 11mm, great price.
Email us and we'll see what we can do. I don't know Fenix mapp policy off the top of my head. Tell contact@hownot2.com Ryan sent you to ask.
Will you be getting the new Sirocco helmet?
Brake test idea
I would love to see test of the edelrid pinch there has been a lot of controversy over its Carabinerless design I'm confident that it's super good enough but mabe a pull test could help with the gear fear of this product thank u Ryan iv been Bing watching your videos I love them u are far the best on UA-cam keep doing what u are doing
every time I'm in a hanging belay without a bag and my rope is a mess, I think about you saying to flake in a bag years ago lol
Why do companies control sales if youre selling them? especially, when sales vary by sellers all the time
Please test the improvised climbing gear in Die Hard

you need to get the bauer espressi into your store
way better for bigger weight difference than the ohm and zaed
I just ordered a bunch of stuff last week. Curse my impatience! Hmmm maybe there's more stuff that I "need"....
Yeah yeah yeah continue to do that kind of video.
Blue ice screws on sale🤤
BRCC making an appereance
Good luck with the sale! Hope y’all sell out! Jkjk
I think my hair has more MIPS than a MIPS helmet
My mips has more hair than my head, at this point

Disrupting the industry by telling us when and what is going on sale but also why. Love it.
