A Six Panel Tarp? Why? - Gold Armour 10’ x 10’ Tarp - Ultra Low Budget Tarp


It Ripped Twice in the matter of minutes....

That's not a good start!

This Luke's Agenda Free Preview of the Gold Armour Ultra Cheap Tarp.
It's 10' x 10' and it only costs $30!

As many of you are aware, I love tarps so I’m always on the lookout
for the latest and greatest….at the same time I’m always looking for
budget friendly options that I can recommend.

That’s where this product comes into play.

$30 for this tarp and all of these additions, this is crazy
inexpensive and I have to wonder, how good will the quality be?

Let’s find out together and let’s start by taking a look at the tarp
before our testing begins.

I Didn't Expect to Love Something So Simple! - SOTO Helix Coffee Maker


Over the years I have used and review many products - thousands of products and out of those, certain products are what I consider to be my favorite.

This is one of them.

This is the Soto Helix Coffee Maker and it’s one of those products that I like to use as it slows me down, makes me focus on not only the world around me but the entire process of making a really good cup of coffee.

I don’t always use this coffee maker when I’m out on a trip but when I do, it’s always a pleasure.

This is Luke's long term review of the Soto Helix Coffee Dripper!

Soto Helix :

Weight : 1.6 oz for the basket – 2.3oz for the basket, bag and 10 filters

Materials : Stainless steel

Shape : Inverted cone-shape and collapsible coffee maker 

Dimensions set-up : 4.5” x 4.1” base x 2.8” tall x 3.9” wide at top

Bag Dimensions : 5” wide x 5” tall x 1” thick

Price : $17

Pros :
- Lightweight (half the weight of the gsi product)
- Compact – folds flat enough
- Not bulky
- Dries quickly so you can stow it again.
- Bag carries the stand, filters, and coffee which I put into small zip lock bags
- Makes good coffee

- Included coffee filters work just fine and I haven’t had any issues with them.  

- #2 filters are easy to find and can be purchased very inexpensively.

- Easy to clean up- there are numerous products which have integrated filters which can be a pain to clean and stay wet for a long time.  With this one, you remove the filter, air dry for a moment and you are good to go.

- Price isn’t bad even though I don’t blame anyone for questioning $17 for a wire basket but if you go out and look at similar products, some cost $40, some plastic models cost $13 and so on.

Cons :

- Can be challenging to use if you are in forest as you will need a flat spot to put your cut and then the Soto on top.
 - If it isn’t flat, it will slide.
- Again, this product will slide around on top of your cup so you need to be careful with it - don’t know it over.  
- Time – using this product will take a bit of time for you to have a full cup of coffee and it may not be as hot as you want it to be once full.  Because of the small design, the amount of filtering that it can do is less than larger products which are out on the market.
- For Two – The product states that this is for two cups of coffee but I use it for one
- The Soto Helix is pricey at $17 - there are knockoff versions of this that cost $7 - the one that I looked at doesn’t include a bag or any filters. I’ll put the link to it in the description box if you wish to check it out.

I've Never Seen This Before - FireMaple Saturn Gas Stove


I will be honest, the first time that I saw this stove I was intrigued! 
It's Different!

Recently a viewer sent me a message asking about a different FireMaple stove which ultimately led me to discovering the Saturn! 

In this episode, we are going to take a look at this stove, do a boil test and get the overall testing of this product underway.  

In this episode, we will be taking a look at it and I’ll share my thoughts concerning it with you. 

This is Luke's first look at the Saturn stove from FireMaple.

Down Blanket for $55? - OneTigris Down Camping Blanket 2.0 Version


Over the last couple of years there has been a trending line of packable blanket products that have taken the camping / backpacking world by storm.

These products tend to be light in terms of weight, feature small form factors, some have down insulation, some synthetic insulation, they have low prices and are perfect for warm weather nights while out camping.

Over the years I have personally tested a handful of these products - you can find the reviews in the sleeping bag playlist on my channel.

Recently I had a viewer ask for my thoughts on this product and I had to admit, I wasn’t aware that OneTigris offered one of these Packable blankets.

Because of that viewer, Kai thank you for the product suggestion - I went ahead and ordered the blanket and here we are today.

OneTigris Down Blanket : 

Materials
Outer Fabric : 20D Rip-Stop Nylon
- Lining : 300T Polyester 
- Insulation : 600 Power Duck Down Fill

Treatment : DWR

Stated Measurements Stored : 12” x 6.5”

Stated Measurement Unfolded : 79” x 55”

Stated Weight : 1.5lbs \

Temp Rating
This is going to be subjective - I will be performing my testing shortly and will follow up as soon as I can in the review but based upon my experiences with similar products, a realistic estimate is comfort down to 50F - 60F.  These are warm weather blankets and this is the range which is typical for this category of product.

Colors : Ranger Green, Olive Green which you see here and Coyote Brown

Cost : Retail is $70 - I bought the Olive Green version that you see here for $60 on Amazon

Versions
There is a 1 person which I have and there is a two person version

Uses
Blanket, quilt, in a hammock or under one as an underquilt. The blanket can also be worn as a poncho or a cloak. 

Updated :
This is the updated version of this blanket - supposedly the company made the product softer and more comfortable against the skin.  I didn’t test the original version….as I said, I wasn’t aware that the company even offered this style of blanket.

This Is What a Footprint Really Does - Why Pro's Use Them with their Ten...


When it comes to camping, tents for most people are the shelters that most will invest in to keep them safe and comfortable. As you likely know, the majority of tent shelters are expensive with some speciality tents being very expensive.

Because your tent shelter is so important and also so expensive, it is important to make sure that it lasts as long as possible - one of the easiest ways to do this is to use a groundsheet or what is also referred to as a ground fly. Some will even call these footprints.

That is what this episode is all about; I’ll cover what they are, what they do, why they are important and I will be going over why Pros will use them and why noobs won’t.

This episode is all about increasing your skills as an outdoorsman / outdoorswoman while making your gear last longer, it will keep you warmer with less condensation and will lower the amount of maintenance and cleanup that you will have to do.

Pro's will use them every single time with their tents and Newbs Won't!
