Testing my new camping gear !
In this way too long video I talk about the new camping gear that I got myself for all my future camping-heavy trips, whether on a motorcycle or while hiking.
NONE OF THESE ITEMS WERE GIFTED TO ME BY ANYONE OR ANY COMPANY. I WENT TO THE SHOPS AND BOUGHT ALL OF IT WITH MY OWN MONEY.
I mostly talk about the tent, a Decathlon Forclaz MT900 2-person trekking tent, that is relatively affordable and presents unique and interesting features.
I also mention my new dawn sleeping bag, a Valandré Swing Co 650, rated for -2 °C comfort temperature. A high-end, expensive, high-quality sleeping bag from a French company that actually cares about its customers and animal well-being.
Then there is a lot of other smaller items such as a compact camping chair, a hiking soft-shell and dawn puffy jacket, very useful when hiking or around camp during a chilly morning or afternoon.
Anyways, half the video is about talking about the gear and why I chose it, and the other half is more about appreciating the ambient sounds of nature and watching me do typical camping stuff in masterfully executed ASMR. Quite relaxing to watch for some people.
