    I've had several pairs of hiking poles. If you just need poles a pair of $5 ones in China will do the job. If you ever travel, get the ones that fold down to 14-16" (35- 40cm). These will fit in almost any backpack, day bag. The two foot ones will not. When you need them, the compact ones will be in your bag, the longer ones that stick up out of your bag will be back in your luggage or trunk. If you hike from home, always from your car, sure get the ones that only stow to 24" (60cm). If you find yourself at Huangshan in China and your knee is starting to hurt. Just buy the cheap local ones (and look up Ililial band syndrome (IBS) This'll probably fix your knee in ten minutes. Or ask a runner.) You don't need carbon fiber, you don't need anything fancy. The ones with the tilted handles are nice, but only if they feel right in your hands. Do gGet an extra set of rubber feet -- they fall off. Duct tape them on. (The fancy L or J shaped booties.... don't bother. the skirts for snow? I've had these. Meh. Are you snow shoeing? Then get them.) Stay away from cork handles -- sweat, dirt, cork can really stink. Ignore the hype. That extra $100 is for style -- all the 'they do this or that, they're only x grams...' is bunk. It doesn't matter. When you use poles you distribute some of your weight on the poles, so they way 8 grams less? Meaningless. And don't hesitate to adjust the length. There may be a 'perfect' length for you. Sure, find out what that is and mark it with a paint marker -- but make sure you mark all sections. Anything close will be good. If you go up or down even a shallow slope your 'perfect' length changes -- so don't over think it. Going up a steep grade, or 'steps' make your poles shorter, going down make them longer. I love using poles. On Skellig Michael in Ireland going up and down steep 500' of rock steps the poles gave me mountain goat power. (It's in one of the Star Wars movies.) In Japan hiking up the approach to Mount Kita, the second highest peak in Japan, no one (except me) was adjusting their poles. It was bizarre. Like they'd adjusted the 'perfect' length in the store and then never changed it. They didn't even notice the fidgety gaijin was adjusting his poles in seconds and they were working better. And if there's only a short steep section -- don't hesitate to just grip the poles below the handles. Use the wrist loops correctly. Go up from the bottom of the loop. It's counter intuitive. This way if you fall the loops won't injure your wrist. kzread.info/dash/bejne/jI5-ktSMp7WeerQ.htmlsi=FnxWdS5WlbbscTCg It feels 'wrong' because now you you have to grip the strap as well. Don't worry, you'll get used to it, and you don't need to use the loops unless you're somewhere where if you drop a pole you can lose it. Did whoever made this video actually use any of these poles? I really doubt it. Cheers.

    Man, you straight up have a bad and very single-pointed-view for this. Not to mention your whole video just rips from ads. This is 0% Original content. Onto why your choices aren't good: Bass fishing - reels that can throw LIGHT lures as well as 1.5oz lures (These are great because you can throw 1/8oz neds on it, and then literally put it on another rod and put a 1oz frog on it or a 1.5oz swimbait with an 8/0 hook. The reel is well made, but the spool is small and light so it can cast light lures, as well) Daiwa Tatula CT TWS (120 dollars.... Why the fuck is your LEXA 300 at the top. That's a swimbait reel. Daiwa SV TW - same thing, 200 bucks, slightly nicer Daiwa Tatula 150 - Larger reel, made for larger lures, still 140 bucks. Curado 150, Curado MGL, SLX, SLX MGL. 180, 200, 100 or 120 dollars. Will throw literally anything bass lures. 1/4-1oz easy, up to 2oz without a problem. Great for mid size pike, small cats and smallies as well, obviously. Curado 300 or that lexa 300 for shit that is 1oz or higher. I use a Daiwa Zillion TW HD. DO NOT FUCKING BUY LEWS FOR BUDGET. THEY'RE AWFUL BUDGET REELS. Get an SLX or a Daiwa Tatula TWS. Don't fuck with Lews budget crap. It's literally the worst. Abu Revo X is better than that junk for 100 dollars. No offense, man, but if someone really cares about their gear, they watch Tactical Bassin. Not a buzzfeed fishing reel video.

    Interesting video, my interstate stock battery finally bit it, wouldn't take a charge anymore at 6 years. Went with a DieHard as it had a longer run time by 30 minutes. We will see if it lasts as long. Then again, I had a ford battery in my 2012 ford f150 that lasted 10 years, I finally said - I don't think I want to push it and replaced it. Project Farm tested out some batteries as well and it seemed for the money and longevity the Walmart brand seemed to score good. Anyways, thanks for the video.

    Fenix HM65R-DT if you have spare 18650. FenixHP16R have flood, throw and red light and can take 4xAA. LedLenser MH7 and MH8 can take 2xAA and a "zooming" system. The best is HP16R.

    Great list! However, the Korth is too unnecessarily blingee to be even in the top 10. All those barrel slide cuts are just crap collectors and snagging points. The MR 73 is a very strong proven & tested arm used by French GIGN agents and French police for years.

    No 38spc snubbies. Good weapon to conceal and easy to carry. Glocks not a good choice. To hard to rack for some hands. S&W Eazy is a better choice. A STI, yeah, I know. That's a expensive gun for any senior. Even for someone who's not and makes 146k a year.

    People give me shit for not having an M9/92 yet, but I have the LTT compact carry PX4 Storm, and I can solidly say that would have to be my favorite. However, if we're going off of reliability, it would be tied with my APX Centurion (first edition, not A1 version) I have a couple thousand through both of them. I also have the APX Carry (also first version, not A1) and finally i also have the full size APX A1. Why I haven't bought an M9/92 yet is beyond me.... I gotta get on that..
