I had a buckle break halfway through a 7 day trek, thankfully I was able to improvise a repair to continue the hike... I always carry a spare now! Never something I'd considered before that trip
I wear the Xero Terraflex shoes, and I love them! I was wearing the Xero Prios on a daily basis for years, and for some silly reason, when I went hiking, I was still wearing heavy, padded hiking boots. But after years wearing barefoot shoes daily, my feet changed, and I can't squeeze them into "regular" shape shoes anymore. So now I wear feet shaped shoes ALL the time, even on trail. And I love how I can feel the trail under my feet and bend and move my feet so comfortably. Total hike changer!
I've never seen the repair/replacement buckle. It looks very useful.
Agree on the Deuce of Shades. Didn't use it long due to the pain. Switch to the Bogler (thinks GGG) and love it. Even use it when planting flowers in rather rocking ends around house.
If the handle hurts wrap Paracord around it make handling it softer
The blurred out effect is absolutely hilarious.
The combination of the Bogler trowel and the smart water bidet is a game changer. Not having to carry or dispose of tp is awesome. I also carry the mycelium tablets from Pact. Drop one in the cat hole before you do your business and it helps break your waste down significantly faster, reducing your impact on the spaces we all love.
I also started using toe socks last year. Injinji’s were ok but I have weirdly long toes and wound up trying a few other brands to get a better fit. Landed on a brand from New Zealand called Creepers that are phenomenal. Similar in feel to Darn Tough merino light hikers, with a thin breathable upper, and no-seam toes that fit perfectly. They come in crew length and ankle length and are stupid comfy.
The Xoskins didn’t work well for me for long hikes. Love toe socks but wool is just more comfortable wet or dry. I wear either toe liner + thicker sock or thicker toe socks. Usually bring one extra pair and I’m good. ❤
youre struggling with the deuce trowel, because youre using it wrong.. youre supposed to use the narrow end first, to break up the soil, then use the wider end to scoop it out. ive never had any issues digging holes with mine at all
Same, have never had issues in a wide variety of soil types.
Also, are we going to pretend that sawing through roots is really LNT?
Thanks for mentioning the podcast episode! We'll go listen to that! We have zero drop shoes and are pretty used to them. But we definitely need to train our feet more to prepare for a thruhike this summer.
Culoclean is a HILARUOUS name for the bidet if you speak Spanish lol
Pretty sure that’s why it’s named that
I concur that the bidet and the Vargo trowel are excellent gear items. I just used them this week.
With the bidet I don't need TP, and I don't suffer a rash like I did using TP.
The Vargo trowel does an excellent job sawing through roots. It also doubles as a spare tent stake.
I will have to remember those socks. I had another brand of toe socks rip on my first few days of using them.
My fav way of avoiding blisters on my feet is to smear my feet with Vick's Vapor Rub and by wearing Darn Tough socks over toe socks.
The Vapor Rub works better than Body Glide on my feet. Plus it kills foot fungus - something that can ruin a through-hiker with the dreaded trench foot. I smelled a guy suffering trench foot on his solo AT attempt. His feet literally smell like death. I doubt he finished the trail. Trench foot can get serious.
You can also use Vapor Rub as an accelerant for starting camp fires. It is always an excellent treatment for cystic pimples and boils (which are fortunately rare afflictions for me, but it is there if I need it). And of course, it is great for a stuffy nose.
The buckle seems cool, but I already carry a lot in my pack. I think my spare paracord will suffice in a pinch.
I agree with the trowel change 100%, the deuce was my 1st trowel but after one trip I was over it, so got bogler instead, 10/10. What Osprey Pack is that?
I'm with you on the shoes. I had a lot of foot issues until I switched. I'll never go back to traditional shoes.
Could you compare MFS -X2 with toaks 1600ml (or 1300ml)
Would be a very helpful video. Would it be worth to carry heavier MFS but cool faster or Toaks is lighter and maybe also boil water faster.? Thanks
I use a much sturdier trowel. I could put a nice wooden handle on it need be, and the best part is also the comfortable handle and the serrated edge!
My friend 3D printed a cap like thing for my deuce of spades that saved my hands. But I also agree it's not my favorite poop scoop to use, my gsi handled one was much easier, but the deuce is lighter and easier to pack.
I might have to checkout the Bogler one though. I'll have to see if it fits in my poop kit taco bag
Really like your channel thanks for the helpful content
The Bogler destroys the Deuce for sure.
Thanks for the shoutout man!
Justin @Good in the Woods has some great tips. I picked up one of those buckles to fix a strap on my kayak. Have you seen his chair stuff sack hack?
I've got to try those toe socks. I've been wearing toe shoes since the early 2000's. (usually w/out socks except for colder seasons)
I've heard that many people aren't using the deuce of spades correctly. According to what I heard recently (cannot recall where), you're supposed to turn the spade around and use the handle to dig up the ground when it's really compacted or rocky. I dunno who says your "supposed" to use it like that, but I could definitely see how that may be more likely to break up the dirt than using the spade itself. Thoughts?
That's how it's supposed to be used, per the instructions. Have used the trowel like that and never had any issues.
I forgot I have one of those buckles in my bag! Hopefully never need it but remember ordering it when the other Justin (so many Justins haha) mentioned it. I'm in need of some additional socks and will give these a try. Curious how they'll compare to the injinji.
Thanks for the video
Since I just recently got the deuce of spades trowel… I’m going to look to modify the handle for comfort.
See now you have me curious. What's wrong with the chair? On a side note, I believe that's the helinox chair zero high back. I have both the chair zero highback and the chair zero regular. As a 6'2 guy, I don't feel comfortable in the regular chair zero. It digs into the sides on my back, and feels unsupportive under me. The highback chair zero I have neither of these issues with. In fact even though it's narrower I don't actually notice that or feel that's a problem either. Yes it's a half pound heavier, but to me it's the lightest chair I could find that's still comfortable.
Great video! Thanks Justin
What backpack is that? Great video as always!
A couple years ago I cracked my main hipbelt buckle after an employee at the airport ran it over with a wheelchair (and passenger) he was pushing while my pack was on the ground... Wish I had known about this, but a quick jb welding did the trick too
A small selection of small cable ties live in my pack 😉
And the end of a roll of duct tape. Never leave home without them.
So now I have to carry a screwdriver?
Im glad to see you switch to barefoot shoes. I saw you using the hokas for a while, and I literally agreed with every single thing you did backpacking and the style you did it, except for your footwear choice. Glad to see you switch to them on the trail now.
Why
He's not actually switching to them on the trail. Justin uses barefoot shoes to train for longer hikes and around town. I agree with you that I'm not a huge fan of Hokas, but to each their own.
@@maxwellerickson7066 yes, I wouldn't use a boot or shoe without a decent heel - downhill it's going to slip like a ski on snow or wet grass
I also bought this buckle after seeing itsGoodInTheWoods video 😂
I knew it was a shoe! I’m so good
baited….
lmao. bidet demo.
Yeah, hokas are the puberty blockers of shoes… you get short term relief of cushioned walking but at the expense of irreversible damage to foot health.
I wonder what art can be created with all the useless Deuce shovels? Sorry to “hate on” it, but I replaced mine by the 3rd trip due to the epic failures.🫣
