  3. Regarding #1: Until you've got your body fat % below 10%, spending money to drop weight on the gear is silly. You can drop the weight on YOU for free by just getting out and haulin' around that "heavy" gear. Doing so will give you a different type of satisfaction from hunting down and scoring the "perfect" gear.

  5. I need 8-10# of weight for each day just to carry enough water. (Welcome to Tucson) So for a 1 day trip I need two days of water because extra water is my number one first aid item. Even if I hike 3 miles into the mountain, that three miles out with a shredded knee may keep me on the trail overnight. No one is obligated to come save you.

  6. 50lbs.. oh HELL no. Been there done that. Taken 90lb loads before mountaineering gear to base camp. Hell NO! 30lbs is about the limit for comfort. No more than 25% body weight unless in Good to very good shape. Your joints will blow out!

  7. #1 is to listen to your body and it's okay to tap out of a hike if you have had enough. Hiking is a marathon, not a sprint. Enjoy your time in nature. If you need to take a hour break, take it. If you are by a lake and want to swim, do it. You make your own time on trail. The memories you make will stay with you forever.

  11. I respect you doing these videos and offering a perspective. However, there are so many things I disagree with this video, I don't even know where to start. I am a backpacking school instructor with the Colorado Mountain Club and respectfully disagree with a bunch of claims here. NOBODY should be carrying a 50 lb. pack…..NOBODY! I carry 35mm DLSR camera gear, a camp chair, and a fishing rod with me and my total weight with that and water/food is no more than 30 lbs. Oh, and, yes, I get that some truly crazy stupid ultralight equipment might be uber-expensive, but it doesn't always mean that. Research, be patient, and be smart. Impulsiveness=overspend=regret. Someone being smart and doing research can build a light-weight system for about the same price as as a newbie that just goes to REI to listen to their local sales person (pusher of goods). Examples……watch for December deals on ULA Equipment website for packs ($185 deal a year ago), my Enlightened Equipment Revelation quilt was priced similar to many other competitor down sleeping bags but with much lighter weight and no sacrifice for comfort or safety, my emergency/rain tarp I made myself for like $40 bucks when the cheapest version I can find online is $100 and more like $225, my med kit is less than 0.5 lb. and I can tell you after 10 years of regular backpacking that I haven't used but 2 ibuprofen (if you need more than that I suggest you buy a PLB)……I could go on and on. Sorry to be a critic, but I beg to differ on a ton of things I see in this video…..a Mountainsmith or Kelty tent when you could spend similar/less money on a much lighter and better tent, a machete (pick up firewood or just don't have a fire), second pair of shoes (really?), a folding saw (I'd prefer the saw over that, but do you need both?), and even packs that are good but where available packs are just as good and LIGHTER for the same price or less…..I guess that is where I'll stop. Keep doing what you are doing, but take information on the Internet for what it's worth.

  12. Dont where bright colors or bright equipment and just keep something hidden in your pack if you need something bright. Bears are attracted to certain bright colors.

  13. My best friend borrowed my tent, couldn’t pack it correctly, and I found a rip in it. Since, we were friends for over 20 years and it was a used tent; it wasn’t worth getting into an argument over.

    I just learned to say no when it comes to gear and items like that. My other buddy’s sister borrowed his tent. When went to air it out there was a rotted apple core in it.

    Who wants to fight over something like a tent…just don’t lend out your gear or borrow someone else’s gear.

  18. TRAIN YOUR FEET: build endurance and especially calluses well ahead of time: this prevents a lot of problems like chaffing and (mostly) blisters.

    PLAN FOR FREEZING TEMPERATURES: more often than not, nights in the mountain go down near freezing temperatures. Your typical 20$ sleeping bag and jacket will leave you in danger of hypothermia.

  19. Your foot ware/care ideas R right on except too many socks. Live with stinky feet and air out sock inside out at night. Even if you are not buying all the best ultralight equipment, one must still stick to the attempt to become as close to ultralight as possible. The best philosophy is basically very spartan and using very basic equipment and modifying cheap stuff to work at nearly the same as the high tech ultralight stuff.

    Most important place to save weight is on the sleep system and pack itself because they are the heaviest. Also I think you are advising to take too much food and clothing. Dry hot weather = Light, Cold Wet weather =Heavy. Being light as possible = happy trails.

    Then when you get a perfect 25 pound system, carry ten pounds of heavy camera gear.

  20. I bike tour vs backpack, but same shit, out in the middle of nowhere for days, and weight is critical to not kill yourself climbing massive hills or breaking spokes and such damage to the bike. Use a merino wool shirt and other clothing, but carry a small bottle of detergent to hand wash the stuff. Merino is great for not starting to stink, so going days w/o a wash is no problem, and as a plus you always feel the same temperature regardless if cold or hot outside, good stuff. Merino wool doesn't cause allergies like normal wool as well. Things like first aid kits should be coordinated within a group, for example one person carry a full kit with all items and another person carry a shelter tarp that everyone can chill under in foul weather. That way nobody is overloaded and all bases are covered.

  23. Summary
    1 dont break the bank to save ounces in weight
    2 let someone know exactly where and when you're going
    3 think first about feet, not last. good shoes (& socks) also use body glide to prevent blisters
    4 inspect used/borrowed equipment before leaving
    5 lacking medical equipment [splint, sling, coagulant, etc.] Everybody knows where kit is.
    6 try out packs and shoes before hiking
    -Loooong advertisement
    7 underestimating food quantity requirements. Take less than what you think need on gear, not food. (do 1.25x to 1.5x what you expect)
    8 underestimating weather [take a tarp]
    tarp]
    I missed one

  26. Sorry lost me on the medical kit part. All you need is:
    A few iodine swabs
    A bandage
    A few bandaides
    Some burn cream
    Paracetamol
    A splinter probe
    One wound dressing
    A roll of surgical tape
    And that's it. I used to carry a full first aid kit for years. It's pointless. One of those things you always read that you absolutely HAVE to carry, but actually don't. If you get hurt enough to need your wound dressing, bandage and surgical tape, you're waiting for medivac or getting carried the hell out, you won't need more than that. My "boo boo kit" is in a plastic ziplock sandwich bag, and has served me well for years, and I usually hike and camp alone. Keep in mind that most people will be camping with friends who will all be carrying their own kit. No need for everyone to be carrying a ton of medical supplies. Eyewash? Jesus Christ, go splash your face with your water bottle or in the creek champ.

  27. Great to hear from someone who’s not a weight weenie. I’m helping a few newbs prep for the jmt and trying to convince them that 2-3 oz here or there isn’t worth something more important, like, you know, their feet (thank you!), food, or a good nights sleep, etc.

    Luckily. Break in/test hikes are helping them figure out the gear. This is brilliant! Thank you!

  30. The brutal truth – think less about gear and more about what you are able to do, build your ability not your sul gear
    Its about you and your fitness to walk and carry a pack.
    A 20 yo fit guy can hike an 80lb pack day after day; a 40 yo desk jockey not so much.

  32. This guy is not an expert.

    Research and buy the best, lightest gear the first time around so you don’t end up buying it twice or three times. If you can’t afford it, save a little until you can.

    Lighter, quality gear means more comfort and less injury. It means you can even afford more weight in luxury gear like a good, comfy sleep system.

    Lastly, don’t take advice from people who cut green trees in the wilderness for firewood. Use deadfall if you must have a fire. There’s plenty of it around.

  34. Another thing to beware of is going hiking with people that 'love hiking' but you discover shortly into the hike, actually love the idea of hiking and have never hiked anywhere in their life and are done after a mile. You wouldn't imagine that people so enthusiastic about 'going hiking' could be so fucking useless at it.

  36. Great video mate. Good advice for beginners. I've been witness many times to conversations between shoppers (who obviously had never been backpacking before) and spending on gear like no tomorrow and the shop assistant just letting it go). i reckon people like that go once and that's it and it's usually that secondhand gear u can pick up for nothing from these people, simply because they didn't get good advice to begin with. BTW Brilliant scenery in this video, spectacular!

  41. So true last aid is more important than first aid. You might never need it but that one time you do it will save your life. Make sure to take a first aid course. Also poncho over multi piece rain kit ever time. Water between backpack and raincoat and on strap padding soaks into your pack. Did a 5 day AT hike rained for 3 days. I had an amazing time and dry pack with just a $30 poncho from REI. Other hikers in our ground had premium gear $300 plus and soaked through. Not smiling was the hardest part. Always be nice too your fellow man!

  42. I would never pack more than two pairs of socks and underwear even on multi-day trips. You can just wash clothes in a stream if needed. And only one pair of trousers. An emergency kit I would never bring, only painkillers and leukotape. In my book 50 lbs is simply way too much. It severely reduced your daily distance, and makes you sore and beat up. I would never exceed 40 lbs and I'm 205 lbs myself and 6.3 in good shape.
