Im not going to lie, that tent stake sack kind of looks like a cock sock. Still seems awesome tho I just bought one

Hi, can you use a top load washer that has no center agitator? Also for detergent, can I use the regular Tide liquid ?

You should do one of these for a Canadian Big box store, like MEC

Love the sunglasses, I have the exact same pair lol!

This video is at odd time didnt REI release their earnings loss of over 100mil

ThanksJustin for sharing your experience. It would be nice to have a more complete feedback on the MO. And a comparison with the Arc haul ultra 60 l from Zpacks (lighter with an adjustable back but also comfortable?)

babymoon ehh🤔 that’s a thing now?

So the hot tent was click bait.

Big agnes zoom ul or nemo tensor all season? let me know what i should buy.

Look its a Canuk invading the US!

Hi Justin. What is a bit problematic for me with running is that I have knee problems and flat feet, and even with orthotic insoles I feel pain in my knees . I’m currently just try to make day hikes as much as possible

Again, we agree. I bought the REI Magma 30 on sale. Totally dissappointed. It's my first commercially made quilt. (I usually sleep in my DIY bags.) Recent hike in NC. Low temp 34F. At 42F I was cold in a 2-piece wool base layer and socks. Put on every piece of clothing I had over the base layer; Prana pants, poly T-shirt, sun hoodie, Decathalon puffer. Sleeping on a Nemo Tensor 4.2 R with an additional 1/4 inch insulating pad underneath. Plus I had a .5 ounce per yard Climashield blanket blanket inside the quilt and my DIY down pillow on top of my Trekology inflatable. This quilt isn't "Magma" or anywhere close to 30F. I'll stick with my 27 ounce DIY bag. I already own the Flash 45 and 55 - old version. Love them! Bummer that the Flash Air 50 pack wasn't great. I would like to drop some pack weight. I usually carry about 22 pounds so maybe the 50L will work. It's on sale for $209... still seems a bit high.

Justin,I see you are still using the Komperdell camera stick, but what is that black around your trekking stick, under the handle?

I’m looking for input on what size Zpacks Arc Haul to buy. How tall are you? How big is your waist?

Alpaca doesn’t get hot? Ive lived in Arizona for a long time but I hate getting over heated.

"Ultralight Curious" lol

I was let down by the magma quilt too (my first quilt). Seemed significantly underfilled, with large voids when held up to the light. I froze using that with an ether lite xt in spring conditions. Switched to an EE quilt and helix pad and now I'm cozy all the time

Have you a similar video for MEC products ? Love from Montréal 🇨🇦

I see a lot of comments on the REI sahara sun hoodies but I recommend the North Face Adventure sun hoodie! Way better feel than the REI one. Only real REI gear i use regularly is the 2021 Trail 25 daypack, which has worked really well for me. I have no need for another one, but the REI down jackets seem like a good deal

For the money, when it comes to packs, tents, and quilts, cottage companies are more affordable and make better gear. The co-op brand is so overpriced. All made overseas and marked up because of the branding ... just like Big Agnes, MSR, and all the others.

Rei flash air sucks in my opinion. Ive gotten soaked in the tent from heavy rain, and condensation of a few occasions, also rei sun hoodies suck in my opinion and other brands like mounting hardware are superior. The way the rei sticks when soaked in sweat sticks to the skin more

What is the pocket on your left shoulder ?

I was an REI employee for 15 years, and for the first 2 I worked in clothing/footwear. First, REI shoes are rarely good. I applaud you giving them a shot. The fact that your heel is lifting AND your foot was sliding forward on descents is caused by one of two things. The shoe is either not tied tightly enough, or the shoe is too big. This is why REI stores have in the footwear department, ramps or rocks shaped like a ramp. So you can test the shoes out. You can try making them tighter but I think they are too big.

Great vid... Would Love to come to Canada one day and Hike your amazing county...

What are those gloves? Have you found some thar are cool enough to wear in the sun?

Congrats sir! So happy for you two. I hope everyone stays healthy & wish for a smooth delivery & transition as a whole.

Hey bro, No Snakes yet?

Perfect timing with REI’s sale going on! Thanks for the insight, and lets not talk about that other comment 😉

You might have been better off getting a large for the pack. Backpacking light made a video about the Durston Kakwa. He explained that most packs experience some "flex" at its upper weight capacity which will cause the pack to sit on your shoulders more. I just picked up the flash air 50 on sale for $209 which is a decent price. I'm excited to test out the pack though.

Thank you for the video, Justin, very informative! Would you consider doing a similar video for MEC?

Great gear video once again. Your from Alberta right? How about starting to do some gear reviews on MEC equipment. Like the all their new ultralight gear.

Fantastic comprehensive review of the options! Have you tried the Big Agnes Rapide SL? Many thanks for your insights and experience!

2:40 are those Xoskin toe socks?

There's a best gear at REI?

Is that Helix pad better than a Nemo Tensor? I know you're a side sleeper, and we tend to have similar preferences for sleep system (including quilt and pillow). The Tensor is the best pad I've ever used, but maybe I need to give the Helix a shot.

Do you have your part 107 licence?

I got the REI Magma 850 down jacket and it is SO good. A 850 FP jacket for $125... I could not be happier. The 650 is pretty nice, but like you said so many other options are just better.

Single wall silnylon tent? Oh hell no. You'd be soaked! That was the best part about Dyneema tents. Even if you have to deal with condensation, at least you don't soak your clothing/quilt/gear just by accidentally brushing the inside wall especially when its raining.

Right now REI is having a sale (until 5/27/2024) and most of these items (tent, chair, pack, sleeping pad, quilt ) are a full 30 % off!!

Ultralight curious. Hahahaha. 😂 Cracked me up. ..and hey, REI, we baby boomers are out there and to continue to be out there, we want ultralight and we can afford it.

You showed the valves pointing up and down on the REI Helix... which way should it be used?

Anything I've liked from REI they discontinue after one season, so I'm sorta done with their own branded products. I don't wanna find a new alternative every damn year lol

I'm gonna say you got the shoes for free since REI seems to be trying hard to enter the trail running market and their last model seemed to flop pretty hard. I'm sure they are hoping that a little rub from Justin Outdoors will get the shoes some attention and sales. 😎

Would you really use an 850g UL pack to carry 40lb? For example, the Granite Gear Perimeter 50 weighs 1400g but has a legit 40lb capacity. You also get a torso length & width adjustment, and the brain is removable to save a few ounces. Though I guess that with the Flash Air’s 25lb rating the fact that it carried 40lb even somewhat comfortably says something. But using a UL pack for a load like that just seems like ordering 2 Whoppers, large fries, and a Diet Coke.

I’m enjoying the video!

Great review Justin. cheers from OZ 🇦🇺

So cool seeing the bison! Also, huge congrats on the kid, wish you nothing but the best!

Devin just promoted the flash 55, along with you and Miranda. I may get it instead of the Bridger pack for her. The Helix just makes me so so surprised. Like really better than zenbivy’s or Nemo’s or Big Agnes’s?

Justin, what is that bulge on your komperdell stake, just below the cork handle?
