  • Because Mick, I used it for over 6 months (including a bushcraft USA campout) and the aforementioned night. I also have over 4 years of experience using the older model. Why are you on the internet if you can't stand it so much?

  • My snake Skins only fit on the Rainfly... But anyway, I love this product myself. It's so light that it's a no brainer, The Cold weather add-ons tho are pretty expensive. They work, but kinda noisy as they are the emergency space blanket stuff that crinkles like plastic candy wrappers, but they work by reflecting heat back at you from your own body so you don't "NEED" a fire. Best part IMHO is the comfort, lightness, and that it keeps me off the ground and less impact on the environment.

  • We used one of these on our show for our female host. She lived it.

  • I used this for 3 weeks hiking in the jungles of Kauai and the Kalalau trail and loved it. Kept me off the wet ground, rain fly kept me dry from the daily rain, and no bugs got in. Very light. Worth mentioning though is that you should put some sort of pad in or your backside will get cold at night cause it compresses your bag. I also like the zipper better. Velcro frays with extended use and bugs can still get in. Zipper is just easier, nothing falls out when I get in and out.

  • Thanks for the upload, keep them coming (and faster!)

    G'day SouthernCross

    Why does this seem like the typical youtube comment, rather than an intelligent question or comment that shows you are capable of intelligent discourse?

    To be honest, I'm more interested in the opinions of people who have been watching this channel for many months, rather than an opinion based on what appears to be a first view.

    After all, if i only want opinion, I can go read any of the other retards to typically post on youtube to get it.

  • G'day Joe.

    Why does this look more like a typical internet forum gear review, rather than the opinion of some one who can show they have used it for an extended period of time?

    To be honest, I'm more interested in opinion that has been formed from many months of first hand experience, rather than just opinion based on what appears to be just one use.

    After all, if I only want opinion, I can go to any number of internet forums to get it.

    regards

    Mick.
