- Scott and Ariene of BackpackerTV came up to Mountain Crossings to tape a LIVE Shakedown! You never know what's going to happen when you're live, so bare with the technical difficulties. But if you missed the actual LIVE event, here is your chance to watch the full shakedown! If you are setting out on the Appalachian Trail in the near future or are simply looking lighten your load while backpacking, watching this video will set you on the right track. We go through Ariene's entire pack, including her clothes bag and food bag. We even take a few moments here and there to answer questions from folks watching the live stream.

I know this is an old video but I am just watching it for the first time. Does Mountain Crossings charge thru hikers for a pack shake down ?
So, how much weight was shaved in the shakedown?
Great question. What is the answer
nice, got the same first ascent puffer, the 20d ul. enjoyed the conent, crap quality. still subbed ;)
scratchy sound, and blurry.
thanks for the update
If your gonna bring a apple eat it the first day.
Yay! So glad y'all have a UA-cam channel!! I'm the girl who hiked down blood mountain the other night! Hope to see y'all again soon :-)
I wish I had a place like this local to me in the UK. Was slightly disappointed, upset, annoyed when I saw my base weight was 6.72 kg or 14.8 lb in weight on a recent weighing. Need to go through it again and see what the monkeys is going on.
Good and accurate information. With the advent of all these packable puffy jackets, that you will have anyway, it makes no sense to have a bunch of other tops. And the sleeping layer can also serve as a emergency base layer, so you don't need a bunch of bottoms either. There is a woman who did the whole trail with one pair of underwear, shorts and a tanktop, and rain gear.
i feel sometimes you don't have a choice with tent and bag. I'm 6'4'' and find it hard to fit most everything hiking. even my thermarest sol light pad comes up short. i really can't stand the lack of gear for tall big people.
Great video! Thanks for posting!
Is Jeff Hanson still involved (from the 80s)???
Alright look here... I've only seen 250 miles of the AT and I plan to try again. But I've seen enough to know that a lot of what is shared with people Is just plain wrong. Sometimes it even seems like a conspiracy or a troll job. Anyway... here's my point: This whole shtick about making people believe that carrying deodorant is absurd or not allowed on the AT is a bunch of bull. Now maybe 3-4 months in, when summer hits, you'll smell so bad altogether that deodorant WILL be useless. But in the beginning, you can carry some damn deodorant. Do yourself and everybody else a favor. There ain't no need to be smelling like a homeless person before you even make it to bly gap.
Think I'm wrong? I already watched one of these MTX shakedown videos with two dudes, and the thing he was most adamant about was NO Deodorant! Then I look at this video, and what's the first thing she wants to talk about? NO Deodorant! If not a troll job, then definitely some sort of urban legend. You can carry a 2-4oz stick of deodorant. I mean damn.
It’s not that one isn’t “allowed” to pack deodorant, it’s that it’s useless, even in the colder months, as you’re still sweating like crazy.
I hiked the AT from Springer to Damascus about a decade ago; New Jersey and New York back in July; and, I recently finished a section hike from Harpers Ferry to just across the Jersey border at the Delaware Water Gap.
Zero deodorant on either of these hikes (not to mention my hundreds of miles hiked elsewhere, mostly the Catskills and Hudson Highlands). What I do pack, however, is baby wipes (or something similar), which I use to wash my face, feet, and armpits each night before sleep.
The thing with wipes is that they can be used for a variety of purposes, while deodorant only serves one purpose. In terms of keeping pack weight down, it’s important to limit gear items that only have one use as much as possible, instead having as much of a multitasking approach to gear as is possible.
@@GuadalupePicasso Nah son. If people can carry a 16oz phone battery, they can carry 0.5oz deodorant
Ran false equivalency: the battery pack actually has a purpose, while deodorant does. not. work. while hiking long-distance. It simply doesn’t. Your insistence otherwise makes you look pretty ridiculous, especially as you didn’t even address my mention of baby wipes in my last comment.
In short, you just seem like a needlessly stubborn and argumentative type of person.
@@GuadalupePicasso Why did I need address your mention of baby wipes? Lol chill man. Every 2nd day I hit my underarms with T.N. Dickinson's wipes(or whatever I can find) and then I hit my pits with anti/deodorant before I put on my sleep shirt. And it smells awesome.
Ran because that’s how conversations function. Not replying to what one has actually said means that a real conversation isn’t actually taking place, and you’re just talking to yourself, running your mouth.
I subscribed!!!
Yes Carly...I know. :D
could'nt get any sound
Filmed with a shoe??
Russ Ivey it was a potato.
There is so much info on the web these days, how is the shake down still a thing. Educate yourself before you hit the trail. Go on a couple weekend trips and get your gear dialed in.
