all right I got some new camping gear and we are going to unbox it and actually put it to use here
at the campsite so we arrived here today I have been patiently waiting I have not looked at this
other than just a quick like opening it to make sure everything was in there this stuff is not
sponsored none of this was sent to me this is just stuff that I have wanted for a while to either
upgrade some older gear or just some random stuff that we're gonna try and put to the test outside
today so let's Dive Right In First up is something I am so excited about it's a new cutting board and
I love the size of this so just right off the bat that is kind of the thing that intrigued me
so I have a cutting board but it's pretty old and it's actually cracked and it's a little
bit bulkier than this so I love initially just how thin this is it's got a flat side and then
this side has the little Groove so for cutting meat and stuff that's awesome and these little
rubber knobs on the end are pretty genius so it's not going to slide around and they're on both
sides what is this material paper composite what the heck is that it feels really like hard made in
the USA that's always good this is my old one it's cracked and it's made of wood which you
know I like but I think it just needs a little bit more care which I have not given to this thing and
it's pretty thick which is not really necessary so for camping I think this is going to be such
a awesome upgrade and like I said it is solid what else do we got okay this was definitely
not something I needed but something that I thought let's give this a try it's a pocket
chainsaw it just intrigued me it comes in this little pouch that's nice and convenient oh yeah
dude oh dear okay pocket chainsaw I do believe that this is a two-person job if it does work you
know maybe not a bad thing to have in the car like actually we are super remote right now there's no
trees here but maybe if I was somewhere where a tree fell on my road out this could be handy
we found a dead tree that someone has already cut
I don't really know how to do this by myself like it'd be easier to just do it with two people
don't you think ready oh gosh let's see what we've what progress we've made oh my gosh okay
that's gonna take us like four hours to saw through this but I do believe it can be done
I'm gonna test this thing some more but I'm gonna say overall I do really like it and it's really
just probably not a bad thing just to have in the car it even comes a little thing here I could put
it on my hip so from walking and a tree branches in my way have no fear you save the day with your
pocket chainsaw so a lot of possibilities here if you were stuck in your car and you had to get
through I mean it's better than a Leatherman next is ooh I'm excited about this this is a Garmin
temp tempeh and so I have the Garmin Instinct watch so does Nick and we both absolutely love
this watch it's awesome but the temperature on here is really not accurate because it's on
your wrist right so if you wanted like an accurate temperature outside it's just not really going to
give you that so this little thing is supposedly a wireless temperature sensor that you can link to
your watch and it will give you like the outdoor temperature it's a lot smaller than I thought
it was going to be I am going to see if I can set this thing up press the tab one on the clip
it's a dang battery
we're back on track I'm gonna pair this and then I'll meet back up with you later and we'll test
it I have two more things and they are both for the tent this first one is the Big Agnes Mountain
glow tent and Camp lights I have seen these for quite a while and I thought that they looked
really cool so finally I bought them I'm excited we'll set them up tonight in the tent and just see
oh no they just look so cozy this is a little like a string light to create a nice little vibe
in your tent and then you can see without your headlamp I think the other way you can use it is
like coil it up and put it in this bag and then just hang like one light with it the next item
that is a huge upgrade for me and it is a new Camp Pillow
I will say this is bigger than I thought it was going to be oh this is the climate drift camping
pillow let's go to the tent I'll show you my old pillow and uh we'll put this to the test
let's try The Cutting Board I'm going to start prepping dinner
because I'm hungry loving these little rubber things doesn't slide everywhere
oh dear stay put
yeah like leaves little marks but oh that's normal I am going to give this cutting board an A plus
plus tonight I'm actually doing a grilled corn salad just gonna put these peppers and some of
these other veggies in there and then I have some chicken marinating I started that this morning at
home and I'm gonna throw down the grill that's gonna be dinner so it's gonna be nice and easy
oh she's got pepper juice in my eyeball yeah this cutting board
upgrade for sure this is my grilled corn salad I will put the link in
the description box for this recipe if you want to print it off and take
it camping along with actually all of this stuff that we're talking about we're gonna
eat and then we go to the tent to test the last two things the pillow and the lights
I don't know about this little temperature thing I got it to connect for like a second and then I
think it gave me a pretty accurate temperature and then it just disconnected so I'm gonna put it on
the outside of the tent here it's like a good spot I hope this thing is waterproof I actually did not
it's definitely not 77 degrees out right now I'm I have Goosebumps I'm cold I gotta
put pants on it's just disconnected for some reason wouldn't it be nice to know what the
temperature is all right let's do the lights first the zipper is glow in the dark which
is pretty cool I think I want to just use it in string mode so excited it's gonna be
so cozy in here by the way if you're seeing some random flashes there's some lightning
in the way distance you can't even hear it but we can like see the flashes there's a lot of
ways you could do this I mean you really could get pretty creative that's good enough for now
one two three
let's turn this off let's see can you see that wow this is so cozy I love it they do come in
different colors the red is cool but I kind of think I would like the I think it comes in blue
and white it just makes it feel like really cozy in here and if I could string them a little bit
more thoughtfully then probably would get even more like get it around the tent a little bit but
yeah I am loving this and it's really lightweight and small this is definitely a winner I already
want to get some more of these okay should we try the pillow now I have my old pillow with me oh
this pillow has been with me for no exaggeration I think 13 years I think I got this in 2009 and it
is still going strong but I just kind of wanted to just try a new one and it is it definitely doesn't
have quite the Loft that it used to and the one downside I would say to this is it's uncleanable
so you can imagine after 13 years of sleeping and camping on this thing you can't like take
the cover off and clean it I guess I could have put a cover on top of it but that did not occur
to me until just now so I thought okay after 13 years I can buy a new pillow and so I decided on
this one had a lot of good reviews this is the large so they do make a smaller one it is quite
large one of the reasons that I did decide to try this one is there's a protected side and then a
sleep on its side and I believe you can wash it too so this side is water resistant easy to
clean and a durable outer shell kind of got that material so it's great for transport if you drop
it out of the car which I have done many times when I finally get to a campsite after driving on
a dirt road for a while and I open the back and like out flops the pillow and some other stuff
what is this sorcery
flop it down oh and then you roll this side up stuff it under here I'm guessing and then you
flop that over that's a pretty neat design huh and then you sleep on its side it's pretty soft
does have a bit of a chemically smell which would probably wear off but I don't love that but it is
like really soft and you can tell this is gonna be pretty dang comfortable let's see oh yeah
this is I'm actually pretty picky when it comes to pillows I tried a ton of camping pillows a
couple years ago just like for fun just to kind of compare them but the other one I showed you has
been the one that I've always really used but this is nice real nice you gotta try this pillow back
it does smell right
it smells like new memory foam yeah I think it's the foam inside that stinks I think it'll it will
where's mine I didn't buy you one you can have my old one though the 13 year old disgusting pillow
nah that is everything oh the temperature thing let's see what the
temperature outside is oh dang it I think it disconnected again you're crazy static
do you see it whoa
is that better okay so it's connected no it connected enough for me to see it said 51 degrees
which is what I would believe the outside is and then it disconnected and now it says 80 degrees
because it's attached to my body so I don't know about that thing honestly it's like not
crazy expensive but it's not cheap I don't know if that's really a winner chainsaw is cool when I
run to go buy that no probably not but yeah these lights The Cutting Board and this pillow minus the
smell are pretty awesome finds so that's it for this video I know it's kind of a random video but
it was fun trying these things with you here at Camp if you like this video make sure to subscribe
to my channel for more camping videos and uh watch this video next I will see you over there
I can say after sleeping on this thing for two nights that I really like it
