People watch our videos for super in-depth reviews of both cheap and expensive gear so you can really know what it's like before you spend your money on it. You want to see the gear and understand how it compares to similar products and what the tradeoffs are. We want to show you that. Besides reviews, we sometimes share stories about our outdoor adventures as well as tips, tricks, and some how-to videos. Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy the videos.

Video Description
Sponsored by RTIC Outdoors. Check out all RTIC ceramic-lined drinkware here! 👉 https://alnk.to/faEpjMl RTIC sent me five of their new ceramic-lined drinkware pieces — tumblers, bottles, and jugs — to see if this ceramic coating actually makes a difference. In this video, I test them for heat retention, cold performance, taste, and leaks (yes, there’s a drop test… and maybe a roof involved). We’ll find out if ceramic-lined stainless steel is really better, or just marketing hype. If you’ve ever wondered if ceramic-coated interiors keep drinks tasting better without that “metallic” flavor — this is for you. 🚨 *GEAR IN THIS VIDEO* RTIC Road Trip Travel Mug - https://alnk.to/dApAuqJ or https://amzn.to/4oMKt5s RTIC Essential Tumbler - https://alnk.to/flzaiz2 or https://amzn.to/48SlfxV RTIC Outback Bottle - https://alnk.to/fSjrf09 or https://amzn.to/4nykNZk RTIC Road Trip Tumbler - https://alnk.to/g3ecdPL or https://amzn.to/439yzdA RTIC Outback Jug - https://alnk.to/dWf6s3t or https://amzn.to/4qC8LAJ 🎯 *Join The Honey Hole email newsletter* for outdoor gear deals, weekly giveaways, cheeky stories, and camping tips—sign up free at https://outdoorempire.com/youtube-sign-up/! 💥 Love a great deal on camping gear?
