The words "parts of your tent" suddenly made me realise I can distribute the weight of my tent rather than trying to carry it in an unfriendly lump in one area of my pack. It's not very heavy but I was concerned that it would be a difficult solid mass. Inspiration! Thanks.
This is really helpful for me. I used to hike a lot when I was a kid in Colorado. I haven't been hiking since I got out of the service back in the 70s. But just the refresher on the concept is really what I needed. Thank you
Never use two words when one will do. Nice concise video. That pack looks amazing, all I have is a Vietnam era pack that I got from an army surplus store, maybe it's time to do some shopping ....
I absolutely love the video!!!! Me and my boyfriend just recently picked up backpacking and have no idea what we are doing and this video is the best thing !!! It helped so much with packing our bags!!!! Thank you so much(:
Basically on the money. Tent and water outside pack for me as tent first thing needed and water a constant. Map, snacks etc in clothing worn. Top of pack first aid kit and clothing that may be needed for weather conditions quickly.
I found a better way , I went from a large , heavy pack and gear to a Ultralight pack and gear....My wallet is a lot lighter also , saved weight all the way around. lol. Total weight of 8 1/2 pounds without consumables is a lot nicer.
hell yea man, in every country you see miserable travelers hauling those giant backpacks around. 30L is enough for me with a bivy, fly, sleeping bag, sleeping bag liner, clothes etc
This is barely scraping the surface. Where you'd want your center of gravity depends on how you travel and what type of terrain you're in. On skis or difficult terrain you'd want center of gravity low for better balance. On foot on flat surface you'd want it high and close to back (like video). Downhill like first example. Uphill like second.
The demonstration depicts a near perfect upright posture while hiking with an internal frame "barrel" pack. In reality, this would only be true if you were packing nothing but pillows into the mountains. In the real world, you will be carrying gear, and in a pack of that size, ~40-50lbs of it, possibly more depending on many factors. I love the comfort of modern suspension systems on internal frame packs, they are very comfortable but even when loaded as correctly as possible, these packs will still force a forward tilted posture while hiking. Since everyone wants to look like a mountaineer when they hike trails, the demand for technological advancement in external frame packs fell off the map, even though they could be far superior for typical trail hiking comfort that 99% of people actually use these for if given the same attention to comfort advancements. /rant off I would prefer it if they weren't "hiding" the reality of the internal frame backpack with false "stuffing" material, and I would also love to see a brand bring back a mainstream external frame pack with a proper modern suspension/padding system applied.
+mdocod And apparently we're supposed to pack tents and sleeping bags/pads (3 items that are all typically fairly bulky) inside our packs??? Yeah, that makes sense...
@@alextemus There are packable tents, pads, and sleeping bags (sleeping bag being the largest item), but they are very expensive and not a reality for most of us. I did find a pad that packs very small and was only $20 on Amazon. But, the small packable tents cost more than I would spend on a 6 person cabin tent.
put heavier gear toward the top moreso the bottom. tent on top so you dont have to pull everything out and put it on the ground then set up tent. youre welcome. :)
OutdoorsWithJP or even better do what I have done and buy a solo tent that weighs not even a pound and than you can carry it anywhere on your pack because it doesn’t make a difference and I paid £30 for mine but I am upgrading
I've watched so many of these "how to pack" videos now, and it always seems like people are only carrying 32 oz of water! They never stuff any extra in the pack. For me, that is the biggest space eater, even in a 55L pack. How are you all getting by with only 32 oz of water? In arid places, you don't have filtration and treatment as options, and if you work out the math, you need a 5-6 L for a weekend, and you have to carry that yourself. Where is that load of water in the pack?
I load water like this. Camelbak with 3L in the pouch close to back. Canteens/water bottles in side pouches. And another couple L tossed in the main pack wherever. Comes out to maybe 8L of water since I sweat a lot.
Water IN the bag??? WTF? Water goes on a bottle outside the bag so you can access it frequently. What about the tent and sleeping mat? Are we supposed to sleep under the rain? The tent goes on the bottom and it is the heaviest item so it is inaccurate to say put the heaviest item on your back, a tent will fill out a backpack too much, it goes on the outside. Also maps don't go into bags, they go in a special waterproof case which you wear around your neck or in your cargo trouser pocket so you can get it often, because that is what a map is for, not stuffing in a bag so you have to take off your pack every time to reach a crossroad. Gawd, I would NOT pack a bag this way.
+søren olsen I use one frequently (a camelback). I've never had one leak. but I fear it every time u use it. so I line the camelback division of my pack with a tie-top bin bag, and then secure it with rape to the hose. it gives a second line of defence!
I use a bladder filled with one liter (2.2 lbs) of water. Water is dense and needs to be carried close to your back. If it's shloshing around the outside of your pack then it can be unbalanced unless you carry a bottle on each side.
have u ever go on an expedition? on a 7-14 days expedition through dense jungle usually they put the water inside (might have been carrying over 6 lt. of water each person) and yes you are correct we do put smaller bottle outside for easy access, but not all of our waters cause no way you would put all 6 litres of bottles outside and no way we will drink those all in one day. You see, she is explaining the "basic concept" based on the idea of backpacking that originated from adventures such as expedition and like so . And yes, the basic concept is to put your tent inside your pack (and no; it will not fill out a backpack too much unless you got small pack) because it will protect your tent from the environment when it is not erected (dense woods, following a creek, scrambling through sharp rocks). you do know that on a team or a family trip, you can divide the size and weight of the tent with your team members right (the tarp, inner, frames, stakes and so on). I do agree with you about the map, tho lol

Say more with saying less
Hi. ua-cam.com/video/rtqzhYsKWRw/v-deo.html
Useful video. I never knew why hiking backpacks looked the way they did, and know I understand it better. Thanks.
I absolutely love the video!!!! Me and my boyfriend just recently picked up backpacking and have no idea what we are doing and this video is the best thing !!! It helped so much with packing our bags!!!! Thank you so much(:
That's amazing to hear Ally! We're glad you found it helpful. Happy trails! 🎒
Great video. This is by far the best described and easiest to remember list for packing a back pack, I've seen. :)
Hi. ua-cam.com/video/rtqzhYsKWRw/v-deo.html
great video, succinct and straight to the point
Great, simple explanation. Thanks!
Hi. ua-cam.com/video/rtqzhYsKWRw/v-deo.html
Definitely appreciate the advertisement. Actually informational.
Hi. ua-cam.com/video/rtqzhYsKWRw/v-deo.html
Best video I’ve found so far explaining
looks like a cresttrail. i just bought this pack a few months ago. seems very durable and is very comfortable
Basically on the money. Tent and water outside pack for me as tent first thing needed and water a constant. Map, snacks etc in clothing worn. Top of pack first aid kit and clothing that may be needed for weather conditions quickly.
Nice bag. Whats the brand and capacity? Thanks
That's a great start but no mention of tents, poles, or bulkier items like pads.
How are they carrying their tents?
Very useful information
those packs are absolutely enormous
really helpfull tips
Hi. ua-cam.com/video/rtqzhYsKWRw/v-deo.html
Hi. ua-cam.com/video/rtqzhYsKWRw/v-deo.html
chould be longer..but quick and to the point is good !
what if you want to drink your water and only have bottles, not a soft thingy?
and where do you pack your mat if you have a foam one top or bottom
Depending on the pack you could probably roll it up and tie it on the bottom.
what is the name of this backpack?
@@Riverlogy no advertising pal
What backpack is he using?
Never grab your backpack form the straps! But instead from the loop between the straps
I found a better way , I went from a large , heavy pack and gear to a Ultralight pack and gear....My wallet is a lot lighter also , saved weight all the way around. lol. Total weight of 8 1/2 pounds without consumables is a lot nicer.
tru dat
hell yea man, in every country you see miserable travelers hauling those giant backpacks around. 30L is enough for me with a bivy, fly, sleeping bag, sleeping bag liner, clothes etc
even for a cold wheater? lets say 30F during night?
Very useful
name of this backpack ??
I think it is named Steve

On the outside of the pack... end of video shows the tent straps dangling in the wind.

These newer internal frame packs are nowhere near as good as the old external frame.
this lady reminds me of president Obama for some reason
+Sam Brown definitely one of the reasons
I was thinking that
Her gestures and mannerisms.
Hi. ua-cam.com/video/rtqzhYsKWRw/v-deo.html
i was about comment that then i saw yours haha
One thing that makes me cringe is when people have all of the straps on their bag hanging down loose.
common sense aproach qucik and easy to remember.
Guy in the video rocking a fully stuffed ~90L bag... probably for a 2.5 day trip too.
Saint Nick hike your own hike.

Great video. I purchased the Teton sports 3700 check out my channel for my review!
put your weight low ,pots on the bottom ,if they get wet ,you do not sleep in them.
sleeping bag on top always,weight low always,this is wrong.

The water goes into the backpack if it is in A camelbag 😉
