Has anyone found the MegaMat Ultra in Canada? Iām struggling to find it.
Great video Justin! Thanks a ton for the insane effort you put in to it for us.
Justin… you never mention Hilleberg. they are the best tents on the market for weather.
Have you evaluated the Kakwa 55 Ultra Grid for water proofness? Another channel YouTuber switched to a ULA Circuit when his Kakwa 55 in
Ultra Grid got water logged on the AT. I just purchased this pack. It will be several months before I can take it on trail.
Noticed that you have both versions of the Kakwa. In your “Best Backpacking Pack Awards 2025 video” you mentioned the Ultra 200x and in this one the UltraGrid. Wondering which one you would recommend more given you’ve tested both? Cheers
