I'd like to introduce you to MSRs new remote tents it's an addition to our all season series the remote tents have all the livability and the protection you need here we have the remote to set up in the studio using sandbags I'll walk you through some of the key features that make it perfect for the mountaineer spending three days or three weeks in this tent the first being the eastern cyclone tube set combined with our unique geometry which makes for a really strong tent especially at the top where you need it for snow loading the remote three has all the features of the remote to with an additional cross pole to accommodate a third person another key feature is the ventilation the two doors both have a mesh panel at the top which you can close or open to keep the condensation inside of the tent under control the tents have two doors and since you're gonna spend extended periods of time in this tent anywhere from three days to three weeks we made them with a little more livability than our other tents we designed it with a little more floor space a little more width and a little more length and a little more Headroom now that we have the rainfly set up we'll focus on some of the key features on the outside the first being an engineered guy out which allows us to weld it from the inside of the fabric it does two things it relieves the stress on the fabric and with one point it allows us to tension out this whole panel another guying out feature is all the guy outs have a Velcro attachment so you can secure it directly to the frame it allows you to guy out the fabric and the tent poles at the same time the vestibule is designed to keep you and your gear protected a key feature is the snow flap sewn around the perimeter you can seal it up from the outside of the vestibule or flip it in the packet with snow and you're sealed up on the inside the vestibule was designed large enough to keep all of your equipment protected and out of the wind and it also includes a few gear loops up on the inside to hang out to gear and dry it out the remote series comes in a two and a three person tent the minimum weight of the two-person is under 7 pounds the minimum weight of the 3 person is under 8 pounds at Nemo we never bring anything to market it doesn't create a better adventure experience everything we make is designed to keep you warmer drier and more comfortable than what's already out there this is tensor our lightest most technical sleeping pad series we've designed available in multiple sizes and insulation configurations this elite ultralight backcountry sleeping pad offers a quieter and more supportive sleep at a tiny paektu size despite its minimalist weight tensor incorporates a premium luxury feel with features like our silky soft 20 D polyester and our new zero profile multifunctional Val for micro adjustability and quick deflation if you're headed into the backcountry you plan to carry everything on your back our new tensor will provide you with three inches of ultra light comfort that packs to the size of your water bottle designed for unparalleled stability and weight distribution space frame baffles support your body evenly without that water bed feeling the spot welded baffle design allows insulation layers to be interwoven and suspended within the pads airspace eliminating that painfully loud and crinkly potato-chip bag sound our super plush polyester is made from threads that are treated with a pressurized air process that softens fibers before they are woven into fabric ensuring an even quieter night under the stars each tensor includes vortex our efficient new pump sack that minimizes moisture entering the pad and enables rapid easy inflation saving your lungs after a long day on the trail or at high elevation for smaller folks to those extreme minimalists who just want to shave every ounce possible we designed tensor money with tapered shape and rounded corners for technical backpackers experience in a range of colder temperatures we offer tensor with two layers of our ultra tech thermal mirror suspended metallized film making it a true backcountry adventurers best friend for those looking for the ultimate ultralight backcountry sleeping experience tensor series stands apart is a flagship pad and like all Nemo products your pad comes with a lifetime warranty so it will last with you through years of adventure hey guys today we're talking about the Jetboil half gin Basecamp system the haften is the world's first modular expandable Basecamp cooking system and you can kind of think of it as the little brother to the Genesis I'm gonna show you what it's all about the system weighs just three and a half pounds and it comes with a nine inch ceramic coated cooking pan for eco-friendly nonstick cooking now the half Djinn itself is a standalone single 10,000 BTU burner stove if you throw a five liter flux pot on there it'll boil a liter of water in just over three minutes just like the Genesis stove but more important than just raw power is the fact that you get jet foils incredible simmer control with this now that's thanks to Jeff oils patented regulator valve technology here's how it works most stoves go from close to fully wide open in just one turn of the valve but Jetboil gives you four full turns of the valve so you have almost infinite fuel flow adjustment and consistent heat output from a light simmer all the way to a rolling boil okay so what does that mean well you can cook perfect blueberry pancakes in the morning like we've got right here or you can rapidly boil water for spaghetti bolognaise at night all in the same stove here's the coolest thing about the half gen it works great on its own for one or two people but it's really designed to be modular and part of a bigger camp kitchen system it has a jet link port so you can hook it up to a bunch of different accessories and stoves depending upon the size of your unit you can couple it to another half gen or half gen and a Genesis system or even a Jetboil luna burner like we've got right here the possibilities are sort of endless in terms of things you can do in the kind of camp kitchen you can create in fact you can even hook it up to a bunch of Eureka products like Eureka's gonzo grill or spire LX stove and the great thing is everything works together seamlessly and it all runs off of a single fuel source aside from its modular design the 1/2 gen also has a really reliable lever igniter so you don't have to worry about singeing your arm hair while lighting it and it's really intuitive to pack away thanks to these rubber straps so to sum everything up with the half Gen you're getting a fantastic standalone 10,000 BTU single burner stove and a frying pan and a portable and convenient it works great on its own for smaller groups and thanks to its jet link port it's expandable and makes for an indispensable part of any camp kitchen no matter how big the adventure hey everyone Kai here with you from Exped and I've got our mega sleep 25 and Negus Leap 40 sleeping bags and I want to give you the details of that today now mega sleep exists in our line because we wanted to make a lightweight and very compact car camping and over landing sleeping bag and I think we've done a really nice job of it as you'll see here in a second these bags are rectangular bags cut specifically to fit our popular megamat sleeping mats the bags come in two different temperature ratings a summer bag that you see here in the light blue and the dark blue three season bag and these bags come with each of them comes with a very nice mesh duffel bag for both storage and transport to and from the car like all of our sleeping bags mega sleeps fabrics are oeko-tex 100 certified and all next to skin fabrics are free of any treatment whatsoever in this bag we decided to use technical fabrics like me using the rest of our sleeping bag line so that it's going to be as light and as compact as possible and be usable for things like backpacking and to prove that here it is here's the 25 degree Magus leave in an eight liter stuff sack mega sleep uses synthetic polyester insulation which dries really quickly and lofts very well and down the full length of the zipper which goes in an L shape all the way to the end is a plush draft tube that keeps heat from escaping through the zipper and that's a major way for heat to escape from a sleeping bag at the hood end there is a draw cord with two toggles and you can see here that in the colder temperatures you can snug that bag up around your shoulders Pete from escaping that way and insulate those shoulders and extend the warmth of a bag a little bit the bags can be unzipped all the way around and now you turn it in to a blanket and that has two big advantages at the warmer end you can sleep you know a little cooler on a hot night and also you can sleep with a partner so a two-person blanket the bags can also be zipped together one atop the other and now you have a two-person sleeping bag that is mega sleep we'll see you out there Cheers
