In this adventure Luke is in a remote forest to test out some budget friendly gear from NatureHike when an Ice Storm Begins to cover the area.
As the ice forms and begins weighing heavy upon everything, MAJOR problems present themselves with the gear and Luke must make some hard decisions....

The channel remains as it always was, 100% Agenda Free with no sponsored videos, no paid reviews, and I don't care if you purchase these products or not; you won't find affiliate links in review videos only in adventures.
I'm going to do my best to put gear lists into all of my videos since everyone is asking for them all the time.
For this trip, here are the big items that I used.
Luke is here today to review a table that has become a vital piece of his truck camping and overlanding system. It's from Decathlon, runs $60 and includes four stools and when it isn't needed, it folds up and can be put away easily.

My Use :
I picked this up to use primarily out of my truck and I love it! It’s plenty big to be functional and yet, it isn’t so big that it takes all of the space in the bed. I plenty of space for a Cot, the table and there is enough room left over for my buddy heater and so on.
Review Pros :
Amazing price
Good quality (not the best but for the price, absolutely acceptable
Good height - not too high or too low
Includes 4 stools that are comfortable enough
Functional and stable enough
- Can be used for just about any purpose with the exception as a work table; if you need something that is rock solid and won’t move and shake, this isn’t it. Great for camp supplies, plates, cooking and so on; not something that would be able to support power tools or any serious weight.
Storage underneath
Good fold up size
Easy to transport
Easy to deploy and to break down
Not overly heavy or cumbersome
Provides as excellent surface for whatever you want to do.
Table height is adjustable
Review Cons : Is this really a 6 person table? Well it depends how everyone is using it of course but 4 people can comfortably use it, 6 is a push.
Quality is good as I mentioned before but this isn’t going to blow you away with just how solid that it feels. It’s good enough but does have some flex which stored.
Stools can rattle inside of the case
Stools aren’t the most comfortable but for a short duration sit, I won’t complain. They are as comfortable as a stool of this size can be so there are no surprises here.
While this is completely subjective, I would love to see this being offered in other colors; while not the worst, it doesn’t match my tastes. Imagine an OD green frame with black top of vice versa; that would be sick! :D
Summary :
For my purposes this table is excellent and it is a very functional aspect of my overloading / truck camping system. The price is amazing and so is the functionality. The stools work well enough but I’ll be honest, I tend not to use them and will go with something a bit more comfortable.
For the money, I think that this is a brilliant system and I can easily recommend it as long as you use it within the parameters of how it was designed.
For your vehicle and traveling, it works.
For quick deployment and a picnic, it works
For a stable surface for cooking, eating, playing cards, it works.
These are the Fjallraven Trekking Gaiters which were designed to prevent snow and moisture from coming into contact with your legs, clothing and the insides of your shoes/boots.....
They are a complete failure but for a reason which you may not expect.

Materials : Out Shell Material - 100% polyester Membrane: 100% polyurethane
Sizes : XXS to XXL is listed on the Fjallraven Web Site but on the gaiters it says One Size. When I purchased these from Campsavor last year, I don’t remember being given the option to select the size.
Colors : Stone Grey and Forest Green
PRODUCT FEATURES : Gaiters in heavy-duty, waterproof polyester. Zip at the front concealed under front flap with velcro. Elastic draw cord in the upper part. Elastic around the ankle and at the bottom. Hook to fasten the gaiters to the boots.
Gaiters that prevent snow and moisture from forcing their way under and up the trouser leg. Made from very durable PU-treated polyester fabric. Zipper protected by flap with velcro closures. Elastic adjustments up to and covering the ankle. Buckled strap that wraps under the foot and the front, top section has a hook that can be attached to the shoelaces.
Forward : While the list of pros for these gaiters are longer than the cons, the negatives by fair outweighs the good. Because of that, lets focus on what makes these gaiters so poor for outdoor use.
Pros : Excellent build quality Excellent colors and styling Impressively waterproof Keeps snow out Smooth zipper Good features Very tough and robust materials Easy to put on and to take off.
Cons : Deal breakingly poor breathability. Going out for a simple hike will leave your legs wet and your pants very moist. The performance is so poor that it could leave you in a fairly dangerous situation.
No strap keeper on the sides
Summary :
Fjallraven is a company that very rarely disappoints but this product is the exception.
There are two aspects which make for a good pair of gaiters; They have to be waterproof and they have to be breathable and if either of this aspects are present you are going to have a problem.
Unfortunately for Fjallraven and for us, these Gaiters have the waterproof aspect down but they are so far away from being breathable that they are completely unusable. In fact, they are in my opinion dangerous in certain situations.
If you go out for a hike and when you take these gaiters off and your pants are wet you are putting yourself into a potentially dangerous situation.
As far as breathability goes, these are by far the worst performing gaiters that I have ever used. They are simply TERRIBLE and will leave you comprised in certain situations. For an example, go out for a cold winter trip and when you take them off, your pants are wet from moisture build up and the gaiters themselves will be covered in moisture as well. You then have two problems, your clothing is wet and so are the gaiters;
Do you change clothes, do you try to dry your pants? You will also have to focus on the gaiters to prevent them from icing otherwise the next day when you put them on, the ice will melt and your pants will get wet.
My advice would be look elsewhere if you have a need for gaiters; Outdoor Research, Outdoor Designs, Black Diamond and other companies offer products which will perform much, much better than these.
