hi my name is Connie I'm the director of engineering at Nemo equipment and I'm here to tell you about one of my favorite products that we make the Helio pressure shower this little pressure shower has won some pretty big awards from Men's Journal and National Geographic adventure for good reason it comes in this small carrying case it's a zippered opening and when you open it up everything you need is inside it's got a ventilated top so that even if you pack it up when it's wet it'll have an opportunity to dry out Helio is really easy to use all you need to do is fill it up through the top port and step on the foot pump until the vessel is pressurized one of the big advantages of helio is that you can just set it down on the ground next to you you don't need to find a tree to hang it on you don't need to find something sturdy enough to hold its weight you can just pick it up carry it around and when you're ready to use it just put it down next to you inside the stuff sack you get this 11 liter pressure vessel you get a 7-foot hose with a nozzle spray nozzle and you get the foot pumps and it all just comes attached with it Helio is not just a one-trick pony there's a lot of ways to use this piece of gear and we find that the top five ways our customers have been using it all right the campsite to wash up dishes to take showers to clean off your gear before you put it away to rinse off saltwater after a surf session and to clean up your dog's paws before they jump in the car thanks for taking a minute to learn about Helio and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as we do I am UK ambassador Stephen Reinhold I'm here to take you on a walk through UCO's Gear closet first up today we have the Firefly a store improved match case with a built sure to be handy on all of your adventures please take a look at Firefly by Yuko you first of all have an LED light powered by to watch batteries and an internal compartment with an o-ring seals out the weather our storm proof matches a built-in striker clip attached to your belt loop or backpack and a bottle of post adventure beverage the Firefly that's it for this installment of the gear closet with you go gear camp happy my friends I'm Melissa Anna Eddie Bauer mountain guides when I'm climbing in the mountains I'm carrying almost everything on my back and weight matters when I'm selecting something for warmth I want something that's lightweight and versatile for me the micro-firm down jacket is a perfect choice for that it's 700 fill down so it's extremely warm while being very very light at just less than half a pound it has all the function I need with two hand pockets and inside chest pocket and best of all it packs into its own chest pocket so I can store it away easily or I can just clip it to my harness to access it whenever I need a little extra insulation for as long as we've made this jacket it's been my go-to piece inside my climbing kit whether I'm rock climbing or I'm climbing in the high Himalaya I always wear it sometimes it's an under layer with other jackets over the top but often times it's just my outerwear and it's perfect in any situation Strongbow has developed patent-pending sun shock technology that makes charging easy and efficient other solar charges have issues of clouds or shade disrupting the charging connection and displaying error messages strong bolt solar charger -
