Great vid Justin. Your videos have helped me get into backpacking safely and this day hiking vid helps too. I can’t wait for your med kit video because that’s a very tricky one and I trust your judgement on how much to bring.
One item I forgot to mention is a SOL Escape Bivy. I always have one in case of emergencies (it was just buried at the bottom of the bag). geni.us/SOSBivy. All other items are listed in the video description :)
Seems to be missing the link to the trekking poles. I can't seem to find them online :(.
Links to AliExpress, if u have the app, it goes there
I love how you keep doing videos out in real locations with real weather…. Snow!! It’s fun to watch for those of us who live in places where snow is never a thing!
Thanks for another great video Justin. Can't believe how much you can pack into a 12L backpack. I feel heaps better now as I have a 15L backpack and was always worried it wouldn't be enough for a day hike, but now I know it's more than enough.
Nice! You mention in the comments taking a form of shelter like a bivy: is definitely a good idea. I also like to take a source of warmth. Bushcraft types like fire stuff, but a flask with a hot drink, a small stove, or handwarmers are also good options for an unplanned overnight, and are perhaps easier for most folk.
I gotta say man, after all the videos with your Astroman I finally pulled the trigger…. And man I love it, thanks so much for always putting out quality content !!
I like the thermostat/compass duo
I really like wearing a trail running vest pack on day hikes. They’re super comfortable, don’t bounce around, I can reach all my food without taking it off, I can split water between front and rear, and they’re really light weight. My current favorite is the Salomon Adv Skin 12.
I use an Osprey to 20 for my day hikes and I love it
I bought Hoka torrent trail runners earlier this year and I LOVE them.
They are actually the best for me
Great video. Thanks!
I picked up a red talon 33 a short while ago for my new ultralight setup. It was comparable to the kestrel 48 I also own, I really enjoy the features of the kestrel, which the Talon also shares.
Decathlon does have „dunes“ of the z seat, and mittens as well for a good price. I am gonna check out the windbreaker! I also like the decathlon brand Simond (don’t know if u have this as well) they make Great hoodies and rain jackets!
My daypack is a Gregory Maya 16, built for women and so comfy. Holds everything for myself and my doggo 🐕 and it has an adjustable torso length (super important for shorties like me who top off at 5’). Also, easy and quick access to Bear spray, just in case…. 😳 Would love to see a tutorial how you use Gaia with Fenix, similar to your excellent inReach vid. Keep those excellent vids coming!
I always carry the ten essentials. Well, it's actually more than ten items now but I think of it as the ten essential systems.
I treat my clothing with permethrin for the season.
You're one of the few people that actually pronounce One One correctly. GJ!
I didn't see a knife or multi-tool. I like the Gerber Dime. More than the knife, I've used the scissors and pliers multiple times.
Even on day hikes, I like to carry a stove. Nothing like a hot drink with your lunch on a cold day. I was carrying an insulated thermos but the stove kit is now lighter than that.
The knife is in the first aid kit! Knife and lighter/matches and I am good to go for fire :)
My day pack is an Osprey Manta 24 - in my opinion it’s the perfect day pack. Big enough. Not too big. Hydration bladder. Internal frame. And don’t forget Osprey’s lifetime warranty!
I got an Osprey Aether AG which the brain becomes a really useful and quality daypack. I actually use the day pack more than the full pack! Go Leafs Go!!
Iceplates by Qore are an awesome option to replace the water bladder with something way stronger. Its shape like a Ballistic Armour plate and we rock them in on body armour to stay cool (they can be frozen, or filled with hot liquids if desired). I’ve been able to get it to fit in most packs and I’ve taken some nasty falls and some “misadventures” and not a single issue
Great video i would throw in an emergency shelter items like poncho some cordage and atleast 2 stakes all very lightweight but worth it
I ditched my pack on day hikes. I went with a Ultimate Direction runners vest. Carries all you need. Extremely light, balanced and never bounces on your back.
Well done Jman! Just in case: I always have a small tinder kit & a small 6'×8' rainfly too. I recommend Portawipes 4A TP solution, they're the size of a 1/4" thick nickel coin, once wetted with a tiny capful of water they expand upto a stretchy 12"×14" moist towelette. The Canadian Prepper has a thorough Utube review of the amazing PORTAWIPES. Enjoy Bro!
I'm your biggest fan!
Hey Justin
I highly recommend the Altra Olympus 4 they are as well very cushiony & comfortable for day & thru hikes
I'm just not a zero drop kind of guy!
..Just ordered the down jacket..I had a synthetic puffy liner that I usually take but it has no hood and I'm going on a 4 day backpacking trip in Glacier National in June and it can drop into the 30's F at night so this should help if that happens..Thanks for the great info, videos and gear suggestions
!!
I also prefer no hip belt on my day pack. Heck, I also prefer no hip belt on my overnight pack. The Zerk 40 has been great so far!
Thanks for the review. I've been looking for a hiking hydration/festival pack since my 25L tsunami wilderness technology pack from next adventure finally died on me and they no longer make it anymore. How do the straps on the snycro hold up? Especially where they attach to the pack with the load lifter, hows the stitching? This pack looks similar with the tsunami i had. How much do they usually run?
Im using my osprey kestrel 36 has day hike bag
Great video. Do you recommend the Hoka Speedgoats for a week long trip?
I'll be taking them on my 36 day/ 1100km Great Divide trail thru-hike!
Looking forward to that watch review. How long does the battery last when you're actively using it on a hike for nav?
I get several days out of it when active!
What were those trekking poles Justin? I don't see a link for them. New poles are on my wish list this year for a 2 week trip I'm doing. Thanks for all the gear suggestions! 😁
Should be there now! Sorry about that!
Thanks! TP doesn't work at all in crappy weather... pun intended... I carry wet wipes... MUCH more versatile! And a good knife...
Justin, how are you not cold here? You must be used to that Alberta weather. I have the same mica pants you're wearing - they're thin! (And I also love them - they've been durable and amazing for warm weather outdoors stuff for years for me.)
I run pretty warm. haha
you should do a video about your training for your GDT hike
It's coming!
@@JustinOutdoors awesome look forward to it! I also just switched to the speedgoats, loving them on the trail.
Including your edit about SOL bivvy bag, some good kit included - including emergency signalling. And i like your mindset thinking ahead about an unexpected "inconvenient night out" (quoting the video by Colorado Wildlife Parks). But some of the "10C's of survivability" are missing. And in terms of "PACE" planning, what would be your plan if eg technology failed, your water filter failed / got lost, or there was major haemorrhage situation?
I think the "inconvenient night out" is often overlooked, especially when people have an SOS device. I do have the 10 essential items though (fire and knife are in the first aid kit). With the kit being for easy to moderate hikes, I think it is sufficient. You can always be more prepared, but it's a balance. I'm not going to be hiking with an AED for example.
Great video as always! - Why do you go for Smart Water bottles specifically, are their bottles are BPA-free, or are the materials more rigid, lucky enough to be sponsored by them?!
I like the cap on the 700mL ones, they are pretty sturdy, and the long tube shape is nice! No sponsor unfortunately, haha
@@JustinOutdoors Awesome, thanks for sharing! Sponsorship will come soon I'm sure :)
The Smart bottle threads are compatible with many types of water filters, like Sawyer, Ecoflow, Platypus etc...
Thanks Justin, Where did you find those Trekology trekking poles? Crappy Situations, That's great, lol!
I forgot to add the link to the video description should be there now. But for a quick reference, here they are: geni.us/3FUL-T1! I accidently called them Trekology when they are actually 3F UL.
@@JustinOutdoors I wonder which trekking pole size would be better for the Lanshan 1 tent? 120 or 130 cm. They should make one 125 cm, That way you don't have to worry about adjustment. Thanks
I love how you can watch these videos and can tell the city Boys, from the real survivors, hikers and people who actually live in the wilderness.
Thought of most (starting hiker here), but the toilet paper? Wouldn't have thought of that even if you paid me. Good call.
Justin would you recommend speedgoat gtx over regular? I have second thoughts, not sure which one to choose. I have Salomon X Ultra 4 Gtx Mid but not so comfortable in upper part of the shoes.
I only use waterproof boots, never in trail runners for summer use. I could see trail runners meant for winter running being useful.
Great list! I carry all that plus a T-Zero shelter from Coalcracker Bushcraft. I also wear a belt knife and gun, and carry a tinder kit. I also usually carry a titanium pot and spoon, and either a canister stove and fuel (if we're going far or cooking) or an Esbit stove that weighs practically nothing... just in case. I also carry a SOL bivy and a Kula cloth.
I still want that hat!
What size is your Decathlon wind hoody?
Here are the things I bough to make it!
Hat: amzn.to/3wmwjNe

@@JustinOutdoors thanks! I also picked up that wind hoody from Decathlon tonight. Very nice 👍
Hi Justin , how do you rate the HOKA compared to the TOPO
Both solid shoes - the hokas are better for longer trips while I find the MTN Racers to be marginally better on technical terrain.
Forgot to ask you before how do you even buy from REI without going to the states when they don’t ship to Canada?
They ship to Canada! I've ordered tons of stuff from them. A small number of items have shipping restrictions though.
Are there any subscriptions or additional fees you need to pay to use that watch for navigating?
Nope!
Do you guys have tics in Canada?
Lots! I would end up with up to 50 ticks on me after a day in the woods when I was a treeplanter in Northern Ontario. They are out here in the west too, but I haven't had one on me or seen one yet.
@@JustinOutdoors
The base of Corey Mountain has lots of ticks,
i haven't seen them on other mountains around here
@@JustinOutdoors Makes sense in the East. Iv never seen one hiking in the west. One of the many reasons i prefer the west. Of course In my mind all of Canada is gorgeous Rocky Mountain west wilderness
@@MyLifeOutdoors lots of ticks out here in NS. Some places better than others of course but every year they get worse and worse. 👎
Went on a 3 day hike in the Canadian Prairies last weekend and picked off at least 200 ticks! None were embedded, just on my shoes and clothes. I have never seen so many before. Crazy.
Please please please, bring a paper map, compass, and something to write with. You don’t want to be reliant on tech if your hike goes sideways.
“Affordable” jackets 😅
Something distracted Justin at 7:47
Damn squirrels! :P
Isnt all that water supply overkill, I mean its a day hike
Not necessarily, I usually do 10 mile day hikes and when the suns out beaming, I tend to go through water pretty fast
99% of the "new hikers" I've seen out hiking since covid don't carry the most essential tool - BEAR SPRAY!
If you are eating right, you don’t need toilet paper for the bung. If you need toilet paper to wipe your bung, you are not eating right 😂
