Hey Hayley, I’ve been using a tube magnet for a while and I have my water tube looped under my arm (pit) and attached to the chest strap. Having it lower seems to keep it away from getting snagged while moving my arms around. BUT one caveat for anyone navigating: the magnet is powerful and can easily derange a compass…so best to keep them well-separated while taking bearings.

That whole trip I never thought to move it under my arm or even to the chest strap haha. I blame the rain reducing my number of engineering stops 😜 You make a very good point about the compass!

About the bladder magnet. Back when i was in the army i used to feed the tube under my right arm when rucking. This way it was never in the way of anything else. With a rifle sling, radio mic wires x 2, and the rucksack over the vest i allways found I had to use my arms a lot and real estate was premium. The camelbak 3l bladders i have used since 2007 have plenty long enough tubes for me at least.

About two years ago, I wanted to upgrade to a new tent. I wanted to buy one of the Dan Durston tents, after you recommended them, but they were perpetually unavailable. So I purchased the Marmot Tungsten 1-person tent. I'm very happy with it. It's worked great for me. It's quick to setup and condensation does not build up inside it. It can be used freestanding without using the pegs (which is really nice in some areas).

I am yet to meet my fate when I have to set the tent up on a platform or super soft ground so I’m sure you’d be laughing with your freestanding the day that comes haha :)

That pillow look so cool. I am jealous that you can sleep on something so slim. I have been searching for the thickest pillow I can find, that isn’t just a kilo of foam. I have gone as far as constructing a frankenpillow from a buff, dry bag, and two giant sponges.

Opposite pillow problem, no air pillow is thick enough. And air-pillows don't stack well, because they fall off each other. However, an air-pillow does stack reliably on the Zpacks version of that reversible stuff-sack.

Just started using Ex Mid Pro... I love it...& The 21oz... And how quick it is to set Up!!! In case of high wind/rain...I do carry 4 extra long Zing-it lines with bolines at each end for fast connections at the top of each hiking pole tie-out and stake. To keep the tents ridline taught in high wind.. tie-out lines should Go out 8-10 ft. A short line simply pulls down on the ridge-line and will cause slack! In high winds... The longer the tie-out line the remarkably less tent flapping you will have. Mamma Gecko

Some of my friends have the hydration magnet. They have them attached to the chest strap. That may be more out of the way of your arms. I have spent years using clothes stuffed into my sleeping bag stuff sack as a pillow. My wife gave me a Nemo Filo Elite pillow as a gift. I've used it on one trip now and it is so much better than a jumper in a bag.

Hello! I am in the process (mentally) of converting to a quilt. I have a couple of questions. Are you still using your top quilt? How many cold nights have you slept with it? I’ve used -10° in the Victorian alpines and am looking at the -10° quilt and am just concerned with drafts 😅 I heard they sleep colder. I’m a back, side and belly sleeper so I know this point will be of benefit
@settohike
Жыл бұрын
I am still using it over my other sleeping bag although I am still yet to go on an actual colder hike yet. This particular one does have two buttons up the top on the back that you can do up, I don't get a sense that a draft would be able to get through. My guess is as long as your sleeping pad can also do some work you'd be ok, But hard to say not having a cold night myself yet! I will report back once I do! haha :)

I can't wrap my brain around the fact that you have a DCF tent, but don't own a puffy?!? 😂🤣 😂 Seriously though. I've always had one, and now have 2. (one goose Mont for deep winter, and the Macpac Uber for everything else) They are the best warmth to weight ratio, and if you are switching to a quilt are excellent in deep winter for adding warmth at night, and stopping draughts. Having got a lightweight (Uber) at 300g (same as the decathlon everyone raves about) I've realised that I really only need the Mont (500g) in the coldest of cold here in AU. But I'm quite a warm body, so might be different for you? I looked at the Icefall from Macpac (same weight as the Uber, but more warmth), but I also didn't want to have to baby it as much, because the outer shell is very thin. I'm sure it's strong, but I've the luxury of the Mont as backup. Layering I definitely prefer to have the Nitro separate from the shell. (then the combined weight is 450g) Then it can go under the puffy, or I've worn it under my light rain jacked if I just need the wind protection when I'm on the move. Though I think you could have the Pisa under a light puffy and it'd be absolutely bonkers warm! If you are just testing the waters I'd highly recommend a cheap lightweight one to start, I think mine was $115 on sale, and the Decathlon is like $169? Compared to the Icefall closer to $300. .....you know this is going to be one of those "why didn't I get one of these sooner!" moments!! 😂🤣 😂

Hi Hayley, im in the market for a new quilt and I live in Australia, what's the coldest overnight you have spent in the neve gear quilt ? And how did you find it warmth wise? Im keen to support this Aussie brand and would love to hear your thoughts on it. Cheers, Laura.
@settohike

Hi Laura, my thoughts on Neve Gear so far are very positive. My coldest night at the moment has probably only been around 8 degrees. I was still warm at that temperature. But my sleeping mat supposedly has an r value of 2 (if that) which is of course quite low. So I do suspect that if I had a higher rated mat then i'd be perfectly toasty when it's properly cold. You can definitely feel a difference when you strap yourself in as well so thats a positive. So I do need to do some more testing but I wouldnt hesitate to support them :)
