Wild Country

Friend Cam Set #0.4-3

great cost effective way to build a rack - love the extendable sling, really saves me on draws. if bd had as good a deal on here as wc i probably would have gone with ultralights for hand size and up, but the money savings are worth more than weight for me at this point.

Solid, easy to use, and reliable

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

Entire Set x 2

colors are bright, the pricing is reasonable compared to competitors, has an extendable sling, and easy to use. Happy with product and have a double rack of them.

Friends Set

Solid cams for trad climbing. The extendable feature of the sling is an incredible feature and quite useful.

Packaging Prison and Purgatory

Ok so far so good. But I came on here to leave a review specifically complain about the packaging. I got the 6 cam pack .4-3 and it is so hard to get them out of the packaging. I’ve destroyed two pairs of scissors. I’ve snagged thread on the #2. I’m terrified of cutting thro of he dyneema completely but the zip ties are practically fused with the dyneema. Truly feel like winning the hunger games or the triwizard tournament would be easier than getting these 6 cams out of the packaging. Wish me luck bc I came on to leave this review only halfway through. I have 3 more friends to free from the confines of this maximum security prison of plastic. Otherwise they look great and I’m looking forward to using them in the approximate 60-90 business days when I finally have the strength and courage and tools to remove these insanely thick zip ties.

Great Cams

I love the friends, I prefer the trigger action, thumb loop, and extendable sling option compared to some other cams. Used it on a route and some anchors, which they held well and felt solid.

Super solid, love the sizing and extendable sling

These cams just feel so solid. I really like that they are a slightly different size than other brands, it really helps to get a great placement that would be a little baggy or just too small with other sets, I especially like them in Indian Creek for this reason. But I've also found them awesome in granite, and the extendable sling is so nice for when you just want a bit more length but don't want to burn a draw...or high on the pitch and already used all your draws haha.

Love my FRIENDS

Great quality cams and very affordable.

great cams

Fantastic operation, great design, priced reasonably. Great for multipitch trad and anchors.

Sick

These are sick and some of my coolest friends for sure. Practicing leading with them and they are indiscernible from BD cams from others' racks. To me, these feel slightly better and look a little nicer than cams. I also like my other Wild Country gear and the quality I have experienced, so this was an easy pick. Consider a 4 to add to this rack for bigger cracks.
