ladies and gents my name is Matt my channels all about hiking and
backpacking I'm into hammock camping I'm Canadian I go to some pretty wicked
places in the Rockies if any of that's an interesting to you guys at all please
consider clicking that subscribe button start this video today giving a shout
out at a huge thanks to Big Blue Mountain for providing the lazy bear
pillow and the lazy bear blanket I'll put links down below to big blue
mountain in the description box for you guys if you guys want to check them out
but huge thanks to them I gotta give any huge thanks to my buddies Jesse over a
backcountry forward and my buddy John over a JK's hiking for teaming up with
me and getting together with me on this compilation video thank you guys so much
man I had an absolute blast working with you guys after you guys are done
watching my video please go check out John and Jesse videos I'm gonna put
links in the description box down below to their videos on the blanket and
pillow as well please go check those out and don't forget to subscribe to their
channel so these guys put out some fantastic content start note they do
both come with sub stacks they are roll top style stuff sacks
stuff sacks are really nice they got the nice lazy bear logo big Blue Mountain
awesome but you guys know Maddie's not personally you found a stuff sack so
let's toss those let's get into the pillow first the lazy bear pillow 19
inches by 14 inches coming in at about 11 ounces or 320 grams I'll say this is
not gonna be a backpacking option for myself it's just it's bigger and it's
heavier than something I'm gonna want to carry in a backpacking ship but for a
car camping option he's absolutely fantastic or if you're like Maddie and
you love curling up on your couch coming back watching the game this thing is
killer this thing is super comfortable though
the cotton exterior mixed with this synthetic still makes for an extremely
plush comfortable sleep the cotton exterior super comfortable up against
the face a car camping lounging pillow this thing is absolutely fantastic
I do wish it was lighter and would compact a little bit more maybe like a
smaller size I might consider taking our backpacking trip but this pillow here
just for a backpacking option it's a little too big for my personal taste
but hey I do go car camping from time to time and this thing is definitely gonna
be a win in that regard and of course the lazy bear blanket now
when I first saw a lazy bear blanket my very first thought was oh it's a Costco
down throw awesome when I started looking more into it I realize it's kind
of a Costco down throw but better in a lot of ways synthetic fill if you've got
any kind of allergies to down products a hypoallergenic synthetic fill option
this thing is wicked 680 grams the specs on this thing 74 inches by 50 inches
with a 20d rip stop outer shell one color option you've got the blue on one
side gray on the other either as a standalone option or paired with your
sleeping system to add a little bit of boost of insulation this thing is
fantastic as a standalone option I think this would be good down to about 40 to
50 degrees very comparable to the Costco down throws but obviously a synthetic
option I do think this is going to be a fantastic supplemental layer to your
winter system pairs it with your winter sleeping bag for those extra cold nights
a little bit extra warmth anybody in the hammock community knows as soon as you
start talking Costco down quilts you know the DIY guy starts speaking up and
that was my very first thought when this showed up at my door my plan for this
going forward is potentially converting this into some sort of a top quilt i I
do think having the ability to have a foot box closed in would be a huge
advantage and I I do plan on at some point possibly busting up the sewing
machine and trying to just sew a foot box into this so you know possibly
prepare you guys for some DIY videos and Maddie busting out a sewing machine in
the future if that interests you smash that thumbs up
like I said the pillow probably not gonna be a backpacking option for me but
you know for car camping it's definitely gonna get some use the blanket
absolutely gonna get some used like I said we're gonna the you know possibly
look at doing some conversions and to make it this thing into a top quilt as I
said at the start of this video huge thanks to Big Blue Mountain for sending
me this blanket and send his bike and pillow to my buddies as well thank you
to John and Jessie for making this whole thing happen coming together with me the
the compilation was a blast as I said thank you guys I had a lot of fun that's
all I got on this one for today guys so as always I'm Maddie thank you guys
so much for watching and I will see you guys on the next one the cotton exterior
make something make something sick ahh caught an exterior mix two fisted mixed
with mixed holy Maddie can't talk today
