I use the Trailblazer 44. Great bit of kit. I've put 2,500 miles into it and it's still like new. I've grown to like the roll top. I've always had lids before. Very comfortable fit and easily adjustable. I'd like side mesh pockets in addition to the mesh waist pockets, which are excellent, but that's me being super fussy :)
Great video, Jenny Tough is amazing, been following her adventures since I saw her talk at a Tiso outdoor experience day. Thank you Jenny and Montane for this film, some really good tips.
Every backpacker or trail hiker ive spoken to i always ask them what is the one items you are willing to spend a lot of money on. everyone has their own item, for example yours is the jacket. mine is my pack and trail runners. for some its their tent. its funny that we all have those items we are willing to spend more on.
For me it's shoes, socks and backpack. Because they provide the best additional quality of life upgrade for your money. But I do day hikes and it doesn't rain often here.
Socks, underwear are the only two I have spent a lot of money on (compared to what I usually pay for socks and underwear). Everything else is either cheap, homemade or at most mid range.
@@pigozs i have to agree on shoes and backpack, my osprey was the biggest difference ive noticed ever a part from changing from hiking boots at the start to trail runners
Great video!!! I m interested in this backpack but still not sure if 30 litres will be enough for me. So I want to ask about your opinion and experience. Talking about food supplies, for how many days are You able to pack in this bag without need to re-supply?
I'd love to hike in beautiful Canada, but the thought of Bears terrifies me! Even with Bear spray and all the precautions, I could NEVER really relax. Thats the good thing about the UK, no wild animals that can kill or eat you.
Your spine is the center of your torso rotation. Your hips rotate about half of your upper torso. Your pack rotates with your torso thrusting gear loads higher up and at the outsides of the pack. Therefore, your heaviest gear normally water should be lowest center of your pack and lightest outside and high in and outside of your pack - simple bio-mechanics to increase your speed, comfort, endurance and fatigue reduction.

I just ordered the Trailblazer 30 and appreciate the tips on loading the kit. Can't wait to try it out.

Loved the movie solo! What waterproof do you use? I have never found one that actually keeps me dry for more than an hour.

Very insightful. How bout your food though? Where do you fit al that? I find the food takes up a lot of space on multi day hikes
Recommendation for a compact but warm sleeping bag? Anyone know what Jenny uses here? I have the same backpack so need something that would fit

How long did the solo run take?
I heard solo wilderness hiking is very dangerous .. admire your courage. hope you are well .. thank you for the great review
You look quite tall like 5’9-10”. But you fit a womans specific sleeping bag? Thought they were shorter

2023,03 . . 半年前,在香港代理商(RC outfitters),買入44L藍色背包,用了約5次,正準備下一次的行程,發現胸袋下面,連接雙帶位置的線,全部離開,兩個胸袋底部也穿了一個孔,還有,腰帶兩邊,連接腰板位置的,也穿開,看見夾層內的灰色軟件。本人有3個30L,4個約40L,3個50以上的背包,就衹有這個,如此不幸,這麽快就玩完,浪費金錢。未購入的人士,提議,另找其他品牌吧,2個Montbell 40L 用了十年,衹防水功能退化,Jansport 50L,三十多年前買,現在衹覺得它很重,但還可用
So funny, you call you cooking kit a 'tin pot' when everyone fawns over their 80$ T Titanium iteration of said. Hilarious!
