I've developed products in the outdoor industry for over 20 years and I continued to be baffled as to why the mummy bag is still considered an acceptable sleeping solution it's light and it's warm but it's severely restricts your natural movement it was never designed to let us sleep the way that we naturally sleep I wanted to create a sleeping bag that combined the warmth and the weight of a mummy bag with the ability to just sleep naturally like you do in your bed at home it shouldn't matter if your side or stomach or a back sleeper in it it shouldn't matter whether you want to sleep in a tent or a hammock or on a couch in the back of your car or whether it's gonna be warm or cold out that night a sleeping bag ought to do all those things introducing the Zen vivvy bed the world's first freestyle backcountry sleeping bag that lets you sleep in whatever position you want to wherever you want to the Zen bivy bed combines a backpacking quilt with a fitted sheet and hood that zips into place on top of the globe rather than on the edges freeing it to spread out or wrap snugly around you without paying you to the mattress by thinking outside the box and using the warmth of your pad and eliminating the weight of insulation underneath you and rethinking zippers we've been able to reallocate the same weight into the places that you really need it for comfort because you can sleep with the quilt sit or unzip or anywhere in between the Zen baby bed lets you sleep comfortably in the backcountry regardless of whether it's spring summer or fall if it's cold outside curl up with the quilt comfortably sipped into the hood wrap snugly around you for one creating a draft free night sleep when it's warm or hot outside sleep with the quote partially or fully unzipped letting you easily regulate your temperature to sleep more comfortably arms in arms out legs in legs out just like you would in your bed at home it's perfect for the backcountry because you get the portability and the warmth of a mummy bag but you free yourself from the compromises ybn to in a mummy bag when you can sleep freestyle in any position any temperature anywhere you if you need a pack that can keep up with your fast and light pace look no further than the ohm pack from ula weighing barely over two pounds this lightweight pack won't slow you down the frame in the pack consists of a u-shaped

up your load top to bottom so there is ZERO shifting as you go cruising down the trail for the ones who like to travel light but still need a fully featured pack with a real suspension system there's the ula ohm we promise you won't be disappointed you hi I'm Glen with gossamer gear here to show you how to set up your new one shelter first set your trekking poles to 125 centimeters if you're using the segmented poles then there already be the right length for stakes you'll need a minimum of six takes to set up your shelter I like to use some beefy stakes for the main tie out two main stakes and then you'll need a minimum of four stakes for the four corners so remove the shelter from the stuff sack now the gossamer gear logos on the head end of the tent take your first two corner stakes and set up a lines so they're at about a 45 degree angle do the shelter then take one of your poles and one of your big stakes fly at the top of the pole into the peak at the rear of the tent put the tip of the pole into the grommet provided and stick out the rear keep in mind the pole will be not exactly vertical it's designed to tilt towards you as you're setting it up take your other Pole and then out the furniture and you go around and tighten the tent to get the wrinkles out are you ready to enjoy your new one you you you hi this is John from Platt cat gear and what you're looking at this is the new Bobcat 2.0 now the stub has been completely redesigned and it's picked taking a long time to get the stove off the ground the reason being was the original Bobcat stove was a pretty good snow but now the stove Bobcat 2.0 it's a little bit of everything it's a little bit lighter it's about four grams lighter it's a little bit faster it's about now 30 to 45 seconds faster it'll boil two cups of water and it's more fuel efficient so there's a number of big bonuses for this stove the other thing it's made very consistent it's a very consistent stove to manufacture has allowed me to come up with a new simmering similar to the one that's used on the on the snow leopard system a lot of customers just want to do simmering they don't want to be baking so this gives me a a nice low cost option this is in Beulah store for 1250 you could still do the bacon submarine I bet that's a complex part to me so that price is going to go up the simmering again it's only gonna be 1250 so it's pretty economical and this is going to be used the same summary is gonna be used on the snow leopard system so let me get some bought water boiling and show you the difference between a full boil and simmer come back in a minute you see it with a new simmering on you found a very nice gentle boil what I've done is the original bacon simmer ring would drop the stove down to about 75 to 100 watts this drops it down to about 75 maybe a little bit less than 75 so it's a much more gentle simmer
