Thanks for sharing Scotty! The only additional thing I'd carry is Celox powder in a 5g pack in the first aid kit. It's a clotting powder that gets you right outta trouble when the red stuff is leaking bad, even from something as simple as catching yourself on a silky saw. It also is great cause it's non surgical removal, some clotting powders are so effective they need surgical removal!
@@sparrowflying864 in the military, simple super glue is at least as effective, only downside is the chemicals you put into your body, but same goes for everything you put in it these days and the "skin glue" is not much more healthy in reality. Neither is the clotting stuff. I just carry a small tube of super glue for really gaping cuts and wounds. Never had to use it though (knocking wood).
Due to you, Scotty, I did my first two night solo a couple of weeks back. And I learned a lot. But I DO need to learn to leave some sh!t at home. Thanks for your vids.
One item I see not used often is a gear brush for dust and dirt. I just use a curve handle palm brush from the dollar store. I use it for everything but I also have a bicycle. Oh dish soap is a good addition.
Nice gear Loadout ! Another thought would be to add snoseal to your leather boots! Will help protect the leather and keep them more waterproof. I've got the same boots myself.
Excellent kit scotty, if i could recommend one small thing to add when filming just incase is a 1-2m length of small gauge insulated copper wire, that way in a dire case you lost some gear you could start a fire with a camera battery using the wire on the positive and negative, probably very unlikely you may need it, but its cheap as chips, super light and may come in handy for other things. really enjoy your content scotty, all the best.
Great video thanks for sharing! One tip if you want it I’d swap out the knife/fork/spoon, pot gripper and case pocket knife for a multi tool with all the same and more. Leatherman, Swiss Army, some even have spoons.
Great set up mate for 10kg. Similar set to ours but just a little bit heavier with necessities. Thanks for sharing, it's given us some great ideas. Cheers cobber.!
Thanks Scotty, always interesting to see what other people use. Agree you need to be careful of the ultralight rabbit hole lol. Keen to hear how your new tent goes in strong winds and stands up after a bit of use. Cheers mate
@@redsparks90 there’s a link in the video description. I got mine as a part of the original massdrop a few years ago, but the current version has some nice improvements
Thanks for sharing Scotty. If you want to go lighter, you can shave off close to 250g by ditching the nalgene and replace it with a water bottle, attach a sports cap to your sawyer and carry the sawyer attached to the bottle. Sports cap easily back flushes the sawyer in the field and you can leave the syringe at home.
Dude how ya been, I haven't seen any update new video, I miss it lots... Hope all is well with you... Anytime time you at the States, look me up, I'll take you to Ocala State Park in Florida 😎👍
I watched the trip video and there was a scene when you were still in your sleep system. As soon as you moved i heard the tell tale noise of the Etherlight XT. That rubber squeak baloon type noise drove me insane. You should check out the Tensor.
Wife and I did an overnight hike last September - two of us, each had 20kg packs... Hmmmmm. Seemed normal to us, but after watching this, got a lot of improvements to make!
I'd love to see a video on food. What you bring, and any tips on storage, cooking, etc. If you buy freeze dried, I'd be interested in recommendations, and especially if you make your own dried foods.
Thanks Scotty, from a tall bastard, I’m going to check out that shirt. Also welcome to team X-mid. Mine a few years old now and still absolutely brilliant.
no one does, but you start with what you have and work up from there. most people with ultralightweight set ups and top notch gear didn't get that all at once, they buy piece by piece over years.
Nice video. I don’t carry as much due to the camera gear really but one additional thing I do carry as part of emergency gear is a couple of feet of thin tubing ( bit of old dripped system from the garden actually) just in case I can’t find running water and I need to suck water out of the fork of a blood wood etc.
Hey Scotty, good kit. A tip for the Sawyer filter. There is a "Tornado" connection for the Sawyer to a clean water bag. Ditch the syringe. Connect the CNOC to the Sawyer and then with the Tornado directly to the clean water bag. No more spilling, hang the CNOC high for a gravity feed- and when you done just give the clean water bag a quick squeeze to backflush the filter.
100% agree with your assessment of first aid kits. Some are so ultralight that they really consist of a small bandage, a few bandaids, and some toothpicks. This is just shifting responsibility to a first responder in a real emergency. Scotty, your kit is really effective I think, at a low weight. The only other things I would consider is a SAM splint, a low weight splint to use in a snake bite or broken limb situation. The other thing is a tick killing cream, very small and light, but does a great job. Lyclear 30g is really good and cheap as well. Regards
onya mate! cheers for the gear runthru and looking forward to your adventures for the rest of the yr - i'm heading off to glenelg river in may for a canoe trip inspired by your vids!!
with regards to your first aid kit - it looked terrific!!! Would highly recommend some Compede Blister bandaids, they are a LIFESAVER. I want that tent ..... I will never use it but it's just so good!!
On a previous vlog you recommended the Nemo Tensor sleeping mat. I was over having bad nights sleep so I blindly bought this one, spent the big bucks & omg it is amazing!
Cheers for running through your camera gear bag! I'm an aussie over in Europe at the moment and you've inspired me to have a crack at the UA-cam thing over here. No where near anything home (Australia) but at least you don't have to worry about snake, spiders, and where I'm from Crocodiles! 🤣
Solid settup Scotty! I'm a little bit jealous. How good are those boots though, I bought a pair before my south coast trip with mattsy and I love them. Also really keen to see your tassie footage.
Thankyou for this lesson in gear I aleays find it interesrting to see what other people take into the outdooors and the benefits of the same as I live in NZ we do have variety of options hankyou for this video I will study it again Kevin Hamilton NZ
I thought that the X200 material on that bag was water proof to a mild degree - is it not? How is the stove you have there for wind resistance? I too think that light weight high quality down top quilts are a great way to go compared to sleeping bags, unless the temperatures drop very low. I think I. will take your advice and try the sawyer squeeze filter. So far I've always carried my water, as I tend to do long distance cycling and only two or three days for hiking.
What happened to your trusty Vanquest EDC organiser?.....fwiw, you can fix the sawyer filters by soaking them in part vinegar and water...thus will unblock them...finish off by filtering with filteted water before storing.
With that Akubra, I have a Jackaroo and it's the scrunchable one, doesn't block your peripherals when you're wearing a bike helmet. Quite pleased with that.
Absolutely love your videos, Scotty. About to embark on a few great walks myself, and so comforting to see a similar setup (no fly fishing though! haha...). Love the XMid's, have one or two myself... So nice to see our local business Alton continued to be so patronised, but then you always have... Cheers, Scotty, and Banjo! woof woof!
absolutelty love your videos, so inspired by them, every evening im researching things i need to get out there hiking and camping, unfortunately all the items you use are so expensive, any advice or tips on budget gear that wont turn me off the whole experience. is anaconda gear ok to start with
That is a great Ultralight Backpacking Kit! Definitely no need to try and go lighter when you are still young and strong. So what do you think about doing Alone Australia Season 2 or does being stuck in the same general location turn you off the idea? You've got all the survival skills and experience but being stuck in the one location would be the big downside as well as being away from loved ones.
Love seeing different gear loads, compared to Canada it’s a very different load out, but the mirror… I never thought it was important til I got a 4mm rose thorn in my eye and had to walk a km to get to a rendezvous car mirror for help getting it out.
not sure if youve ever mentioned it before but if in emergency your phone is going to die you make sure you change your message to your current location so when your phone is dead people will get the messge when they try and call you :)
also get a gorilla grip pod camera mount that you can attach to any stick you put in the ground and save yourself almost a kilo for your tripod ;) and you dont even need to try and balance the stick like a tripod... and it holds 3 kg!
Great overview! I'm currently in the middle of changing my shelter set up. Been looking for a multi-use set up where I can double up my ground sheet as a hammock but it's looking like I will need to get it custom made because I haven't seen anything along the lines of what I want. I also don't use the trekking poles, though I figure for the size of that adjustable pole it would be worth the extra weight so you've got a double use. Agree with your first aid kit; compression bandages are a must for any aussie first aid kit, they're super versatile beyond snake bites (splinting, wound dressing, etc) and for anyone looking I would highly recommend the specifically designed ones with the squares on them, they're twice as long as most normal ones as well so you can sometimes get away with one if need be. The only thing I would add is some water purification tabs (In case your filter breaks) as they're super small and light weight.
Thank you for sharing! We loved your Tasmania film ☀ What has been your favourite hikes so far? We're hoping to make it out that way from British Columbia in the next year or so.
That's a good base weight given the camera and fly fishing equipment. Good effort. You want to be comfortable too! Too ultra light can be ultra miserable
Fantastic to see your loadout. Must be something wrong with my brain, but whenever I see all the items laid out, it just seems impossible to me how all that stuff fits your 55L backpack! I have noticed how a couple of your items (eg tent, quilt) are quite a bit smaller than my own, but still! Thanks for the share
Gday Scotty, always enjoy seeing your kit choices for extended trips. Great Video I have wondered about those Dyneema packs, I really like the idea but I know from climbing that UV destroys Dyneema anchor slings and you should replace them every year. With our crazy UV ratings in oz I wonder about how long the pack material will last? Maybe they blend it with something and so its not like the climbing slings, Idk. Would be interested to hear your thoughts
Nice to see the snake bite bandages in the Aussie bush first aid kit. Not easy to improvise that stuff in the unfortunate situation that you get bitten
Love your content. Just started hiking myself and am off on my first solo camp next month. Was wondering how you go about finding places where wildcamping is allowed as so far I've only managed to find one state park in the whole of qld that allows it.
Thanks for sharing Scotty! The only additional thing I'd carry is Celox powder in a 5g pack in the first aid kit.

It also is great cause it's non surgical removal, some clotting powders are so effective they need surgical removal!
I have Celox powder in my first aid too. I have to take rivaroxaban every day, as I get big bad clots. Gives me piece of mind.
Use skin glue. It works great and no surgery needed lol.

i was told once also that putting black ground pepper on a wound helps clot blood, takes away pain and is like a disinfectant
@@geeetube1 I was once told if you smear it into your eyes, your eye-sight improves. Gotta repeat the procedure at least once a week though.
Due to you, Scotty, I did my first two night solo a couple of weeks back. And I learned a lot. But I DO need to learn to leave some sh!t at home. Thanks for your vids.
My first overnight i swear i packed the full contents of my house! Never again
@@emanuel290 i had no choice but to haul in 6l of water as I was unsure of availability where I was going.
It's all part of the learning process. You'll learn what you need and what you don't from experience
Nice one Scotty. Looking forward to the WOJ vid 👍
You guys would make for a very cool collab!
Fantastic gear list. Thanks for sharing. I always love supporting smaller shops that make quality gear.
Thank you for another awesome video. Very informative, really appreciate the knowledge transfer and your insights. Take care and happy trails!
ALWAYS love seeing what people put in their kit! Very much enjoy the videos!
Thank you Scotty

100%. It I'd a joke how loud it is. It's also so much colder then it's R rating. It also fails and leaks too.
those durston adjustable poles are great! like everything he makes they are well thought out and function well

I really wish somebody would do one of these pack dumps for the poor guy in mind a lot of us don't have a lot of money
no one does, but you start with what you have and work up from there. most people with ultralightweight set ups and top notch gear didn't get that all at once, they buy piece by piece over years.

Ha ha. I definitely keep all my broccolini rubber bands for this very purpose! They last ages.
Fantastic setup. The only thing I would add to the first aid kit is a CAT tournirquet and Israeli bandage just because you go to remote areas.
Lots of knowledge in here. Thanks for sharing mate. Looking forward to the Tassie vid

Great load out for such a big trip. Well, that's 4 of your videos in a row I've caught up on. They looked pretty awesome on a 75" telly. 😃
I’m so glad you say hooroo. I say it all the time but a lot of Australians nowadays don’t know the word or what it means haha

good, do you need to prepare one wood fire stove for cooking and warming in the night ?
10 kilos! That's amazing, my day hike pack with no tent or sleeping gear is heavier than that.
can you cover the snake bite a little more? Is it one above and one below bite or both above? thanks
New hat looks good mate 👍
hi scotty im from Queensland and just started doing vids
This is beast
How do you pack your bag? I’ve seen quite a few people recently stuff their sleeping bag straight into the pack to save space, thoughts?
Are we going to see a video of your tazzie trip? I hope so mate, would look foward to that one.
Do you have a video on your pack raft?
