The synthetic version of the Decathlon jacket is a great option as well. Only a couple of ounces more and works great in damp conditions.

I like how you included lightweight and the woman's jacket. thank you! its hard to find woman's gear when you don't know what your are looking for. (like me) your video has been one of the most helpful that isn't a female backpacker

[Coryu]

What about an ultra comfort car camping awards list for 2023?

[MisterPerks]

11:24 - what a great looking set up and location!

I have a flash 45, my buddies have always commented on how awesome and easy my water bottle pockets are

[paulschield]

I appreciate this. I purchased at least 3 items from your list. The Platypus, the flextail and a quilt.

[elflakeador]

That decathlon jacket is a great buy, a class bit of kit. I prefer using it to any of my other expensive down jackets

I don't understand the appeal of inner-first tents. They seem to be the norm in the US but these things are such an almighty pain in the butt to pitch or take down in heavy rain. With outer first, it's so convenient: get the outer up, put your rucksack inside and go in and unfold the inner in the dry. Same to break camp: take down the inner and roll it up and pack everything inside in the dry, and then just quickly take down the wet outer and poles at the end.

Nice review(s). A lot of the items are on sale at REI right now, the REI branded gear is on sale as well, the tent is $270, the backpack is $140, the chair $79, and the pad $112, which to me is pretty affordable. When I clicked on the Hammock Gear link it game me 20% off, and it's US made.

I wish you would look MEC stuff like you do with REI. I get appealing to a bigger market, but MEC makes some awesome stuff!

Hey, Justin! What's the location seen at 14:10? Insane views! Thanks!

[nathanlockhart]

I thought the flash 55 only had a weight limit of 30 lbs?

[WoodenFloorsRock]

Thanks for the video, can you do a similar video for budget options?

[davidshirley]

Wish more love would go to ugq quilts they seem to be just as good as ee.

[EVANHIRSCHMANG]

looks like the flexlite air chair is $70 right now and a helinox is $82. That is a crazy good price for a 1lb chair. Might have to grab one for sure.

Have you tried the zero pump by flextail that weighs 1.2 oz and 1.8 oz with battery supposedly? Not sure if they shipped them out or not yet.

This is supposedly lighter by .1 oz then the pump sack stats I saw for the neoair x lite nxt at 1.9 oz.

[UmbraSTI]

Check out the Garmin Epix II 51mm (specifically). Has the same battery as the Enduro and all the functionality of the Fenix 7, but with an AMOLED screen.

[bucky]

ugh. I wish I didn't buy the NB10000 Gen 2 because CARBO ULTRA SLIM for another $30 sounds much cooler. lol.. always great gear lists covering something for everyone. Picked up that Exped MegaPillow and seems like it'll be great.

[azclaimjumper]

Any chance you'll be reviewing any "PHD Designs" equipment? Definitely NOT budget friendly, however, it is lightweight.
YES, I "Like" & have been a long-time subscriber.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

Try Rockfront sleeping bags and quilts. They are better amd cheaper🤜🏼🤛🏻

[MrChum]

I wish you would include Metric measurements, most of the world use the metric system
