If you're going to spend money on a jacket like that, Timmermade or Nunatek are the way to go for me. All these "lightweight" jackets have way to many sew lines and so they're never as warm.

I managed to obtain Nordisk Stoke Jacket on sale last year, less than 200gr , top product if you are in Europe. I think no magic there, all these UL jacket having so tiny amount of insulation that unlikely to deal with colder condition. But still play a role of emergency item when you dont expect anything cold and have tiny and lightweight jacket just in case.

Athletic brewing is great and I’m glad you’re sponsored by them! N/A beer is becoming a trend and I’m here for it

The Marmot Tungsten UL 1 is my solo tent, I'm 6'1" and I fit in there. No extra room but I fit and it's only 2.1lbs, easy to carry, and doesn't empty your wallet.

Justin! You are my favorite backpacking KZreadr. Love your energy, backpacking trips, gear reviews, and seeing Stephie out with you too!! Thanks for giving me the courage with dealing with bears on the trail. Now, I am a HOKA trail runner girl. Yours, in this video, remind me of the Mystery Machine from the Scooby-doo cartoon (same colors). I have to get the women’s version. Hike on, Justin. ~ Bev

I used a Petrel with a Soto Windmaster on the PCT in April, and it performed even during a 70 mph windstorm on San Jacinto. It's heavier and skinnier than I'd like, but in windy and cold conditions this is by far the best system I'm aware of. I did replace the heavy lid though with a cheap tupperware lid that weighs like 5 grams. I also bought the Mythic G and returned it almost immediately. It was leaking a lot of down and the 7D material seemed really delicate, so I decided to go with the Mythic Alpine instead, which is more durable and has a better price to warmth ratio. Also worth noting that the TILT material interferes with avalanche beacons and stuff like that.

I also have WindMaster and I’m about to pull the trigger on Petrel. How was the fuel consumption? Does the saved fuel even out the weight penalty in your mind?

@Andy-Mesa

No, it doesn't even out the weight penalty (as seen in GearSkeptic's videos) but it does allow you to light it up in conditions you otherwise would not be able to which is the primary appeal to me.

The Firemaple Petrel pot + Soto Windmaster stove is a nice combo. As seen in the GearSkeptics videos it will boil faster and in more wind than others, so it is a great alternative to the more fragile ultralight alternative with Toakes pot + BRS 3000t stove. For a lighter, but more expensive alternative, I have found the Jetboil Stash pot+lid (145 grams) to be lighter than the Petrol pot+lid (162 grams).

Great video Justin! I had the tensor all season this past weekend out on snow at -11c. Just the bathtub floor of my tent underneath it, no foam mat in between. Toasty warm! V impressed with it

Ombraz sunglasses means you will never break the side pieces again or lose them off your head! Well worth the price, IMO. I love mine! The Fire Maple stove is intriguing so I will be checking it out. Thanks, Justin for the in depth reviews!

I just picked up the new All-Season Tensor and took it out on the CDT for a section hike. I was amazed at how warm it was. I agree you can actually feel the heat from my body radiating back off the pad. I am optimistic that the new materials will be more durable than the original because mine started leaking from the welded seams after about a year and a half. Thanks for another awesome video!

I have the Fire Maple Petrel Pot and three stoves that fit it, the Windmaster Triflex, the Fire Maple Polaris Regulator and the Fire Maple Greentree. For me the Windmaster Triflex is the most fiddly of the three to fit on the Petrel, the detachable pot stand on the Windmaster renders the stove useless if you lose them and fuel economy is average possibly from slight oxygen starvation from a burner that wasn’t designed to be jammed up inside heat transfer fins. The Polaris Regulator fits and works fine but doesn’t have an igniter and the Greentree has a great igniter but doesn’t have a regulator but works fine in moderate weather and only costs $20. I find myself mostly using the Greentree stove because I usually hike in moderate conditions. If it’s blowing a hoolie I take the MSR Windburner which is impervious to any wind short of a hurricane but is heavy. No pot /stove combination is perfect for all conditions. Just my 2 cents.

The Nemo Tensor All-Season is a great pad. I have used it on multiple trips this year and I have felt zero cold coming up through the pad.

I have that Fire Maple Petrel coupled with the Polaris Stove. Fits perfectly, boils, water in one minute, good wind resistance, compact, super efficient and it was around $50 on Aliexpress. One of the best stove/pot combos out there.

Love running vest pack straps!

The running test might not have been such a good idea, if there had been a Mamma Bear in the vicinity!😂

I was looking into that fastpack. Looks nice with the material.

Didn't know you filmed so far in advance. You keep saying spring and it's July 😂

Justin you can swop the lid out on the Petrel for the Toaks 700 mug lid which is lighter and my preferred choice of lid. I was a massive fan of the MSR Windmaster and the Reactor but after being 100% convinced about the Petrel i sold them both on eBay

I wonder if you’d like the Tarptent Double Rainbow Li. It can be setup as a free standing tent when using 2 trekking poles to connect the corner across the top and bottom.

I sat on the fire maple for too long. Saw a video from backcountry exposure and figured I'd give it a try. Hands down, outperformed my toaks, vargo, and jet boil this past week

I'm intrested in buying a wide pad for me. Usually side sleeper, and thinking between the tensor all season or exped dura 5r. Hoping the all season is great.

I used the FireMaple pot for the first time on a quick over night last night. Instantly sold on it. I think the fuel savings will on a long trip will make up for the heavier pot. I used it with the MSR Pocket Rocket deluxe.

I think temp rating on a down jacket is definitely all in the rest of your clothing as well. If you had changed into dry merino base layers and had a mid layer as well plus the jacket I think it would perform perfectly it’s specs - the clothing I saw you in in the video didn’t look like enough for the conditions once it got dark and cold to me personally!

I paired that Fire Maple pot with my Soto WindMaster (added the 3 arm flex support) and it is clutch! 👍

Nice to see your review of the Tungsten UL 1P. It is my go to tent when not hammock camping. I do have a question about how you rate sleeping pads for warmth and comfort. Are they fully filled with air to test warmth or only partially filled to test comfort? Thanks.

@JustinOutdoors

3 күн бұрын

When testing warmth, they are always fully filled. When testing comfort, I adjust to try and maximize comfort.

15:40 At 66" wide, the Tungsten UL 1p us actually *wider* than the xmid 1p pro, at 63"...

I have 1L pot from firemaple, I cut it to 0.6 and modified the handle same way as g3 pot is, and it weights 150gr now, also brs3000 fits perfectly inside, so total weight pan, lid, handle and stove 175gr :)

Challenge Sailcloth (your BD backpack) is also used by Etowah Tarps out of Anniston Alabama I have 2 and absolutely love them the fabric imo is better at shedding water than dynema and way more durable

That’s definitely a well used pillow 7:05

Brs fins can be bent slightly to fit in the pot although that stove is pretty light.

I use a Jet boil Mighty Mo with the Fire Maple…..works well

@ 12:15 you can feel the heat reflected back to you which is always a cool feeling. Yeah Justin is a dad now.

While I enjoy Athletic NA Beer, I absolutely love Self Care NA beer. Of all the NA beer I have tried, it's by far the closest to the taste of beer - at least that is my obversation. Would be curious what you think. Either way, it's nice to have something that satisfies the itch for beer but does not negatively affect muscle recovery from hiking/biking all day nor negatively affect my sleep..

I’m looking at the Tungsten UL2 as a solo or occasionally with my wife tent. Does it still hold up to the competition? But that 1p does look bigger than the old Spark 1p I currently have.

Congratulations coming in august 😊

just saying you cant fit most 3 arm stoves to the pot. they either have an angle to the arms (brs3000 ) or they have hinge to allow holding on normal pots.. the gap is too small. the pot works great - if you use an ethanol mix, a trangia is great. gas is great too. the burner is quite expensive in comparison to the pot. buy the combo and save money.

Ooooh, I've been eyeballing both of those packs. Since you have tried both, can you tell me how low the second chest strap can go? My holy grail is to be able to have the top one about armpit level and the bottom one right at my underbust, so bottom of the pecs for a dude? I actually added a third strap to my current bag just to have this positioning, but I'd love to find one that already does. Stef likely would appreciate this too!

You tested the 2-person version of the Marmot Tungsten Ultralight tent five years ago. If there has been an update to the line since then, it's been extremely minor.

I was looking at that exact stove/pot combo, but I read a lot of reviews about the stove spraying fuel at the connection while screwing it on. Did you have this issue?

Great reviews, Justin. +1 for the NEMO Tensor All Season - the updates have made its my favourite mattress these days. Like you, I deflate it a bit. I have no love for the Fire Maple product - two shite stoves in a row. I'll stick with the Jetboil MicroMo, MSR Dragon Fly, and Soto Windmaster.

Swapping to ombraz from pit vipers will make you 1mph slower at least. Aerodynamic losses and all that.

How would you compare the BD Beta Light 30 to the Mountainsmith Zerk 40? I remember you were a big fan of the Zerk 40 awhile back.

Bummer about Bushka's- we like some of there food a lot...especially the mashed red potatoes!

200USD for a sleep pad. Wow. I was in an outdoor shop the other day and noticed the prices have gone up quite a bit. Saw a camp chair for 250. That is a lot! Do they make a 2 man in this tent. I am in the market for a 2 man backpacking free standing tent.

Great video as usual. Could you try and review gear from Taiga Works (Canadian brand that offers great clothes and sleeping bags). I have no affiliation with. Just curious to get another point of view.

That jacket doesn't look adequate for static comfort at -6C/21F. That temperature is cold enough that you need a pretty warm jacket for just sitting around. Four ounces of fill isn't much. I'd try double that. I know you know this, so not sure why you thought the jacket would be enough? You weren't going by just the price, were you? ;)

I’d be curious as to your pack weight

nemo 4.2 was cold for female on 0Cdegree nights has cold spots. Exped ultra 5R 4.8 performs much better

They are very different jackets. The Plasma is not meant for the same conditions, however I think the 1000 fill and 7D material is more conducive to the conditions the Plasma is meant for, so I would agree the Plasma is the better jacket for its use case.

@@Andy-Mesa I'm not sure they are so different. Both have 7d fabrics and both have 1000 FP down. I have not used the rab, but I have tried it on and my sensation compared to the plasma is that is not so lofty and not so warm compared to the plasma. Even having more down, but it looked to me not so good. In fact, in Europe it's easy to find that rab jacket for -40 or -30% discount, and it's been like that for months (since before Christmas) my Spydrr instinct tells me there is something off with that jacket. Old rab mythic with 1000 fo down that a friend of mine owns looks much better... Loftier, more like my plasma. These are just some random thoughts, I think it's an interesting jacket but as much as I love rab equipment, I have a bad feeling about this one.

They handed these out like candy at PCT Days last year and I didn't grab a pair even for free. I don't think they're very comfortable, and most importantly for me I'd need a prescription which they charge like $500 for.

.. Sunglasses strap system looks like a good idea ... Pack needs padding on all straps ,, needs hip belt to equalize weight from shoulders ... Needs load adjusters ,, pack is badly hanging on lower back ......put a pouch on hip belt front for a water bottle or put water bottle in shoulder pouch and bear spray in belt pouch or holster designed for it , for ready deployment ... all easy access ...... ... pack side pockets can hold a variety of gear options ,,, even EXTRA water bottle , not necessarily dedicated ...

.. NEMO also has another pad the Tensor Alpine at 4.9 R- value ,, I have had for about 3 years with NO problems ... Would have expected a good comment on comfort and warmth here ,, you're set up on a grass pad park surface .. next time go to a site at altitude and hard rock/dirt surface ... I'm sure it will perform just as well .... .... Running on trails with loaded pack is looking for a wreck waiting to happen ,,, and just stupid ...

Test the Exped Down mats please. And the BD pack isn’t rare. It’s just massively overpriced. The sunglasses aren’t rare either. In fact, nothing here is. Thanks. 🤨
