BACKPACKING GEAR I Used For My 17-Day Section Hike on the PACIFIC CREST TRAIL + How I Packed My Pack

Great system. I’ll try it.

I have to say I was really surprised that you brought what you did in your electronics.

This was so comprehensive and helpful. I like how you split everything into “systems”. Thanks very much for this!

Do you find that you can easily fit your sleep system and a bear vault in the gossamer pack?

Any suggestions for the best bra for backpacking! I’m a 40DD and perplexed trying to find a good one for bustier gals.

Nice gear, and you’re very beautiful btw

question about the bug bucket hat , did you find it a bit more difficult to breath in ? I tried one years ago and it got quite stuffy in and ditched it

just a hint .... from experience , but the freezer bag inside the cozy and then add the hot water ... the bag can get really limp and you can end up with hot or boiling water on your hand.. the cozy stays rigid no mater what

Thanks!

No underwear? I quit wearing a bra during the pandemic, but I still wear undies! 😂

Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Sincere thanks for sharing this most informative video. You did a superb job. You got me motivated to get out on the trail once again. All the best to you for your good health and safety. 🤗 👋

I LOVE this video, thanks so much for such an outstanding content

👍🏼👍🏼

DO you have an opinion on the Garmin In Reach vs the In Reach Mini, and the Zoleo? (I love the how to videos!)

Great kit, great video! What are the specs of your Enigma?

I started backpacking when man first walked on the moon ( 7/69). I just turned 70 and still backpack with my wife mostly in the PNW. My last hike was from Chinook Pass north. I met a thru-hiker from the Czech Republic heading for Canada. We camped near each other.

That is an awesome backpack! G.Gear makes some killer gear.

My GoPro 11 eats batteries I end up getting an Anker 40000 milliamp battery bank I also have the media mod so trying to change batteries is a pain, especially in the middle of shooting my video I do need to get a new pack and I can't make up my mind on tent or hammock the haven lay flat

Mise en place... live it, know it.

Nice video. Good job describing what you have and why. How long have you been using the Copper Spur? I have been thinking about getting a small freestanding tent. Some of the Copper Spur reviews talk about durability issues with the tent. Poles breaking and fabric being too thin, that kind of stuff. Weather seems to be hard on it, wind in particular cited as bending/breaking poles. What do you think?

Solid set up. Your cold weather sleeping kit is a pretty normal kit. For going colder (extending the range of a 20 degree down quilt), I like to take a synthetic 50 degree bag/quilt. Also gives you something to cover up in in camp before bed without getting into the whole system and keeps the down quilt from getting dirty.

I really appreciate that you include a section showing us how you pack everything into your pack. I finally ordered a Thrupack Summit Bum, after admiring yours in all of your videos 😆

I love the way that you organized your Lighter Pack into systems, I'm going to have to do that for mine when I re-do it
