1. Hennessy Hammock Ultralight Backpacker Zip. Generations of hikers "lived" in this hammock for month and years. There are lighter options but this one is built to last for decades.
2. Trangia 25+27 cooksets. Not ultralight but for bike touring or weekend hiking a legend in dependable cooking in all weather conditions.
Both the befree and sawyer squeeze i think have made it to legendary status. Hard to find a backpacking channel that doesnt mention them....imhumbleo of course. I also think the naturehike cloud up 2 should rate an honorable mention😊
Yeah those filters and the one recommended by many including myself so 👍🏻 and interesting about the Naturehike tent… never tested one but would like to! We’ll see what happens in the future
I'd have to agree. I don't use either (I use an MSR filter), but they are among the best choices for water treatment.
Great video. Think I own half of these. Couple of them have made my kit home. ❤
Danke!
A super big THANKS 😊 for supporting this channel in a great way 🙏🏻
Great list! I did sell my duplex for an XMid Pro 2… but the duplex is legendary, totally agree. Subscribed!
Glad you liked it, and a lot of people are investing in the X-Mid… quite a year for Dan Durston and… welcome to the channel 👍🏻🙏🏻
Thanks
And a big THANKS 🙏🏻 for support this channel 😃👍🏻it means a lot!
I have the Soto Stormbreaker.....basically the same as the windmaster but it is a multifuel burner, so think it trumps the Windmaster just for the shear adaptability.....unfortunately very hard to get your hands on, I had mine for a few years now, I got it when Soto first released the product, direct from Japan, its my one and done stove (not exactly UL) but well worth it if you can hunt one down.
Hello, again, my outdoors friend, I just came across your channel your channel. I'm addicted to your channel, so I subscribed. Keep up your great content and always stay safe out there. 🤗
😄👍🏻 much welcome to the channel and superglad you like it and enjoy the content!
For me the enlightened equipment revelation quilt is legendary!
It is…and, on my wish list for next year. That or one from Katabatic.
Legendary? Why no alcohol stove? For quiet cooking and especially when cooking with sensitive titanium cookware it’s exactly what is required. I use a Des Cattys stove (genuinely lighter than any of your selection) and circa £5.
The reason being I’m not a big fan of alcohol stoves and even if they are lighter in some cases the fuel is trickier to handle and more convenient using a canister stove with less fuss. The Windmaster is very quiet as well!
But off course there exists more Legendary gear than the ones I mention in the episode and much also depending on where you live…. Here Trangia is legendary for sure but maybe not as famous all over the world. I will look at the Des Cattys and see what it is. 🙂
What about Darn Tough socks? Does any thru-hiker NOT own a pair?
Nice list. How about the Gossamer Gear Thinlight Foam Pad - 1/8"....
Yeah, it’s a great material and I thought about including a 3 mm EVA pad but since there is a lot of different brands selling the exact same thing under different names 🤷🏼♂️ so although a really good thing to have, not really legendary in my book!
Hej, intressant perspektiv, håller med. För mig är legendarisk utrustning; Fjällräven tält termo g66 (från 1966), Caravan 1000 (dunsovsäck från 60 och 70 talet som jag fortfarande använder, Tretorn Sarek stövel från början av 70 talet, mm mm.
Ja, tog ett lite mer ”modernt” och ultralätt sätt att se det och utrustning som nu varit med en tid och som är bevisligen bra! Men dina legender är minst lika värda att kallas legendariska, på ett annat sätt att se det bara och mer klassiker värda att minnas 👍🏻😃
3:25 What's not to like? The $669 price tag with loads more to add for shipping, taxes and import duties if you live in the UK?
I agree with the inclusion of the decathlon jacket in the almost legends list, it's a great coat for the price and I got it even cheaper in a sale.
Any recommendations for inexpensive, telescopic hiking poles that are around 45 cm to 50 cm when fully closed up.
Yeah the price tag is an issue!! Agree.
Regarding cheap poles you have Cascade Mountain tech, cheap and proven ones!
I'd say that Zenbivy sleep systems definitely fit this bill too, maybe not legendary status but close too.
Sometimes I wonder why Zenbivy isn't more popular or talked about than they are.
I own a system myself and absolutely love it, it's so comfy and warm even in closer climates, very expensive but we'll worth every penny
Never looked at the zenbivy myself, will look it in to it. 🙂
@@roberthammenrudh Haha, well then it does make a lot of sense that it didn't make your list.
Yes by all means do, it's really awesome if you're a side sleeper or just wanna have more of an actual bed like sleep experience in the backcountry
It's pronounced cnoc.
Kuh knock. Is that what you mean?
I sent my x-therm back.😅 It only has a good R value if you're in a tent and not if its getting wind from the side😅
Xboil should have been on the list 🙌
Ah ok, so you’re cowby camping or using a tarp? Never believed that would have such an impact but off course, the wind will always chill you and your gear down! In a tent your more protected.
@@roberthammenrudh I'm using foam mats nowadays because they're not influenced through wind chill. 😅👍 I don't know what you call my camping, but I just sleep outside on a foam mat under the stars, which is quite nice. 😊👍
I went with the SOTO Amicus, instead of the Windmaster, because I just cannot abide the separate pot supports.
That’s the exact reason, and the money… I initially chose the Amicus. A great little stove. But, changed to the Windmaster this year and got to say it’s worth every penny and a high quality stow and super silent and quick. Sure the separate pot stand is not preferable but not as big issue I thought it to be.
Lol, 3 of 5 items from this list was ordered as first ones for my hiking adventures.
Can you recommend pls interesting brands or models of 2 layers trekking pole tents with solid interior available? Currently know only Durston and Tarptent models, that can match this need.
I have the 2P Durston solid and can recommend it.
Limited phone reception here so a short answer, yea there are quite a lot and I know also for a fact Bonfus now are developing such an option. Then you have Trekkertent as well I believe 🤔
Thanks, guys!
Fun list. :) Agree with all of your choices.
I'd reverse the BRS and Windmaster. BRS-3000t is far more legendary; although Windmaster is more refined.
According to CNOC, it's "K-Nock". Weird.
Frogg Toggs UL _is_ a top performer in that it can never wet out, unlike almost all other "waterproof-breathable" gear. The only WPB stuff that is similarly high performing is ShakeDry and OutDry, both of which cost ten times as much as Frogg Toggs (and are just as fragile). If I were preparing for serious (rain) storm weather, Frogg Toggs would be the first option I would consider.
You might be right about the BRS3000/Windmaster… and a bit curious about which one of the different FrogTogs you’re referring to?
@@roberthammenrudh I meant Frogg Toggs UL2, the usual choice for ultralighters. It has membrane on the outside, like ShakeDry and OutDry, but at a much more reasonable price considering that they are fragile fabrics.
I've never gotten a hole in Frogg Toggs, but I don't bushwhack in it.
FT has a couple of other variants that are typical 3-layer fabrics which can, theoretically, wet out. However, the face fabric makes them more robust. That is the usual tradeoff for WPB fabrics.
My experience with wet out is that there are different kinds. Some of the super-breathable fabrics will wet THROUGH when the DWR fails. This is like FutureLight, Zpacks, EE, AscentShell, and MontBell Versalight. Others continue to be waterproof but lose breathability (GoreTex), which is maybe an acceptable tradeoff for some cases.
In general, WPB garments appear to work best in low-humidity places such as high deserts, mountains, and Antarctica. In high humidity locations (UK, East Coast USA, jungles) WPB doesn't work well at all; you are better off with truly waterproof garments that depend on ventilation (poncho) OR not-at-all-waterproof wind garments that breathe well (Paramo, Buffalo, and some soft shells).
I prefer a soft shell (OR Ferrosi) whenever it is cool enough, including in light rain.
(Note that windshirts often do not work well in this role. Their fabric is usually too light to slow rain. Also, most windshirts do not breathe well. A few grams more in fabric can make a much more comfortable garment).
For heavy rain I modified a silynylon poncho with a full-length front zipper and straps to attach to my pack. It is easy to put on/take off, and creates a breezy microclimate inside which allows good airflow around my chest, sides, and back. It's better than any jacket in humid weather. (The straps prevent severe flapping in high winds).
Oh, and I just received an umbrella hat. I have not yet tested it in rain, but it appears to be brilliant. It is more comfortable than most hats in warm weather (because only the elastic strap touches your head, like a sweat band). My initial reaction is that I cannot understand why these are not more popular (except that they look strange).
@@roberthammenrudh Update: The umbrella hat is terrific.
Looks funny, but is more comfortable than most hats (because only the headband touches the head).
Excellent way to stay dry-ish in warm humid weather.
(Luckily I don't run into many other people when I hike in the rain.)
You should have put this list out at Christmas, with affiliate links! hahahahahaha
😂👍🏻 good idea!! Not affiliated with any of them but anyways 🤷🏼♂️🙂 good Christmas gifts!
I'm not concerned with "ultralight", so I will say that for me, the "legendary" gear list has to include the Nalgene 1 L wide mouth bottle, in either the polycarbonate or HDPE versions (half the weight). Yes, they are heavier than other options, I get that, but they absolutely qualify as legendary. Next would be the Therm-a-Rest closed cell foam pads, particularly the RidgeRest Deluxe that was discontinued years ago, and the original Z-Rest, which has been replaced by the Z-Lite. Yes, they are relatively bulky and heavy for the minimal amount of comfort they provide, but they are absolutely bombproof, and essential for hammock campers, as well as those who want extra warmth and extra protection for inflatable pads. The current RidgeRest Classic is garbage compared to the older RidgeRest Deluxe and RidgeRest Solar. For food, the Snow Peak titanium spork, which at long last is now available in a long handle version, as of September 2023.
All mentioned gear is absolutely good choices 👍🏻 haven’t tried them all but we’ll known!
Legendary? From clothing comes to mind Patagonia Houdini, Nano & Micro Puffs, R1, Arcteryx Atom LT, Columbia Silver Ridge shirt & Bora Bora hat
Completely agree with your kit suggestions BUT:
The Z Packs tents are rubbish for taller folk. They are simply too short. Replace this with a Durston tent.
Ageee but the X-Mid has a couple of years left to be called legendary, but it’s getting there for sure!
Thanks 😊
Don't fancy the Durston tents chances id bad weather, early days yet.
@@Chris66able hi Chris. They are every bit as good, plus some, compared to the Lanshans and ZPacks.
I talk from my own experience of having owned a ZPacks Triplex (dyneema version) which was utterly awful in not so good weather. Rain was constantly blown under the ‘overhang’ and through the mesh, the doors simply overlap slightly with no zipper and make an unholy racket and the length inside was too short for my frame (of anyone over 6ft). By comparison the Durston fits me and I’ve had it in winds of steady 30mph gusting into the 40’s. As the fly touches the ground there is no wind blown rain. It’s not meant to be a 4-season tent but in opinion it is vastly superior to the Z-Packs in every department.
For tents, I'd say the Durston (any) would have taken the legendary status.
