Ha. Dolly Sods killed my Sawyer too. I wonder if yours was the beaver dam area as well. I swore never again and bought the MSR Guardian that will open up all water sources for us from now on.
We carry the same knife ( no7) I also have the same very light very cheap stove, but will be switching to the soto windmaster due to fuel efficiency - you got to carry the fuel you use.
Body Glide is a lifesaver. I’ve been working on my feet for 20 years now, walking between 10 and 15 miles a day at work. The day I discovered body glide I never looked back. I have baseball player legs, so things rub. If I could be an ambassador for them I would.
Nice video. Only suggestion is connect your satellite device to your body - I carry mine on my waist pack. If you have to dump your pack at a stream crossing, you’ll appreciate having that device with you.
I have been liking it so far. Its perfect for shorter, warmer weather trips. I'm going out later this week and I'm probably going to use the arc blast. Forecast looks a bit chilly and rainy so I need to take some more clothes. No point in being cold or unsafe just to save a couple pounds lol. I think it was close to freezing upstate last night.
Umm, I think it's the helium 2. I've had it since like 2020 and even then I got it at a nice discount because it was older. People give it a bad rap but I have seriously never gotten wet wearing it. Can't say the same thing about a more expensive gor-tex shell I have.
Yep. I think last trip with this Loadout I was around 18lbs all said and done. I don't obsess over weight but I try to keep it sensible for the type of trip I will be going on.
The way you say hammock is wild
So I've been told 😅😅. I know that the way I say it is wrong according to he dictionary but I don't get how you get mick out of mock lol
I thought the same thing. I had to replay it, thought he said hamhocks
Impressive weight for a hammock setup, gives us hammocurious ultralighters pause for thought! Nice one. 👍
The weight and extra set-up and break down time is worth it for the comfort.

Nice UL setup. Well done. Crow

Nice load out. I hope you enjoy your new ultralight gear and journey.
I love my hang time hook!
Hang time hook is the best haha
well thought out gear list. keep the vids coming
Thanks, it took me a while to get it dialed in.

Very good point for sure.
Solid loadout Derek. Very well thought out! 👍
Thanks. It's a nice core of gear to start from and then I can add in different pieces of gear as conditions call for it.
Garage grown gear sells individual sports caps👍🏼👍🏼 3:18
Thanks for the tip, I didn't know that.
Nice load out, my gear setup is very similar to yours and has worked really for me during 3 season trips!! Awesome videos!! Happy hiking 🙂
Thanks. Yeah this system works well for me. I just swap some gear in an dout depending on conditions.
I’m digging that pack! I’ve been using a MLD Exodus for a couple years. I’d really like to go to a 40l or smaller pack for 3 season backpacking.

@@HikeIntoTheSunset I had frost this morning here in central PA.
Great setup,is that OR rain jacket the new version?

Good point about metal gaiter-clips. One wonders why they aren't nylon-clips? Nylon's good enough for tents, backpacks, etc., why not for gaiters?
Anything would help I think.
Nice choices. Surprised you stayed under 10 lbs. That seemed like a lot of gear for that weight.
Thanks. Yeah I threw it on a luggage scale to double check.
I'm sorry, your ham-what????
Now add 6.5 lbs for fuel canister, a couple of days of food, and at least a liter of water.

Wonder what % of corpses of lost hikers are found with a functioning GPS emergency communication device. 🤔
under 10lbs on a hammock setup, sweet
I'll take it for sure. This is the ideal warm weather setup. If I need to add in more clothes or longer food carry I'll use a different pack.
you say hammock wrong lol
