My Lightweight Backpacking Gear - 2024

Absolutely the best video of pack contents ever. The scenery is drop dead beautiful. Great photography.

What's your opinion on the xboil? 🤔

that pad air filler with the liner was genius

Really enjoy your style of presentation, And hiking videos. Please Keep more coming!

Great video, thank you!

I have Subscribed to your channel excellent content. I can't afford this ultra light weight gear its just to expensive and not really durable enough for years of use and needs be replaced and changed at more expense. However, the backpack is very intresting and your gear is clever and allows extend time in the mountains. This video is very, very well done and thanks so much for taking the time to edit this video and putting it to-together a very intresting video all very much appreciated... 👍👍👍

That was a very soothing and calm video. Loved all the details and visuals! Do you have a video where talk more about the use of the „pump sack“?

🏕️ THANKS

Qué buena explicación , sencilla, concisa y directa...muchas gracias.

Exceptional rundown. Valuable insights explained thoughtfully and clearly. Delivered calmly and economically. Thank you for this. Best gear rundown Ive ever seen.

PLEASE use proper sunscreen. Zinc oxide by itself needs molecular coatings to de clump after an extremely rigorous vibration with a homogenizer to properly spread over your skin and give you proper protection.

Just get a preformulated zinc oxide sunscreen like blue lizard 50 spf

Clean video. Glad the algorithm came through. Whats a size guess for the cuddl sleep wear for a 6'3 160 lb guy

What backpacks have u tried? What do u think of Zpacks

THANK YOU. Excellent video, especially for newbies.

Hallo

Danke für das tolle Video!
Das Zelt gefällt mir sehr gut.
Ich bin ca 198cm gross.
Währe das Zelt für mich geeignet?

Great quality video and perfect kit (or as close as possible). I love my x-mid and am giving serious consideration to the Kakwa (this video helped with that!). Thank you. And subbed!

Really good job!!! Very informative video with a lot of work behind scenes.
But as I roughly counted, total expenses is waaaay more 3K USD.

Absolutely amazing. Visit k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place. Whenever you start a short solo trip of 4-5 days, Moses Peak is a must. It is a 5300m height۔ from the top of moses pea which you can see the views of the K2 world second highest peak in the world, Nangaparbat, K6 k11 and K 12 views in one frame. best time from May to October. This is a family tracked.its open Zone, one did not need a trekking permit or have to pay Royalty fee to climbed this Mountain tower

great video

One of the best gear videos I’ve ever seen. I love your voice!!

Hello!
What defense do you use against predators?

Wow, how proffesh and well presented, the visuals, vo, all so well done.

I like this guy

100% chance you're a serial killer who hunts hitchhikers for sport with that voice. 😂🤣😂 Great video!

OMG, my mind is blown with that mat inflation method! I have been trying to come up with clever ways to add a mat coupler to the base of my pack liner and then I watch you just use it to blow your sleeping mat up through the normal opening 🤯

Any suggestions for a pillow very similar to that one? Love my thermarest compressible pillow but for the weight I’d rather carry 2 pillows in a 7oz/3oz setup or something similar

Thanks from Ukraine!

Need to have deep pockets.

Wish I could afford all that stuff

I like your voice, deep and powerful

You and I have very similar gear across the board. We are friends now.

Very informative video, well done 👏

Great video!

Honestly, one of the best put together gear videos I have seen. Very insightful, great animations, and awesome views.

Great gear list and video. I plan on buying a lot of the same gear: Durston and Timmermade. I already use a lot of Path Projects gear: shorts, underwear, and long sleeve shirts for ultrarunning.

Always fun checking out other peoples gear selections! Seems like everyone is looking to go ultralight and certainly your selections lean in that direction. I think gear selection depends highly on a variety of parameters, ie, daily mileage, # days, pack weight, comfort desired, campsite locations, etc. If gear weight with food is >35lbs then I’ll carry a more robust backpack (Osprey Exos 58 vs ZPacks Arc Haul 60L) for more comfort and if going off trail, camping near water, temps below 40°, rain in forecast, I’ll choose my freestanding double walled tent (Marmot Tungsten UL1 vs Zpacks Plex Solo) because it can fit into the tiniest of spaces, no condensation issues, more spacious, and warmer. I love having gear options. The trip will dictate the gear I choose…

I hesitate to give any advice to an obviously knowledgeable hiker, BUT, since you are so weight and space conscious, you could do better with your crampons. Blue Ice makes some unbelievably light and compact crampons with a bunch of versatile configurations that all utilize a wide dyneema strap as the spine of the crampon. Depending on your winter boots, this could be a great solution for you if you were looking to try something different.

Great presentation. (So glad that you don't sound like Sam Kinison, Gilbert Gottfried or Bobcat Goldthwait), ;-)

Thank you for the informative video!

Great kit and well made video. What programs did you use to make the video? Also, I’d welcome learning more about the foods you use when going stoveless. Thanks!

Extremely well done video. Great job and nice system. 👍

So glad you're still making videos.....always exellent pro grade advice....!!!

Nice video again. I still watch your older videos since you have such great info. Also the quality of your vids are great

Good video, but your voice puts me to sleep

Please show me how you inflate your sleeping pad with nylofume.
