  • We’ll be heading out on a 2 night backpacking trip on a 15 mile loop considered to be strenuous.
    This is the current gear loadout, and is what I consider to be lighter weight at around 35-40 lbs.
    Everyone’s physical capabilities are unique and can handle different weight. This is what I can handle and enjoy my time with the creature comforts.
    Enjoy!

    Ok just a forewarning for the Mountain House Chili mac. Don't get me wrong; it's delicious but when it comes to Chili mac please consider the after math. When it's time to go to the bathroom there will be no question of who the culprit is. Plan ahead. Be prepared to hop off of the trail at any moment and drop your trousers. Worry about the rest later, ie what to wipe with. The moment feel a stirring in your gut take that as your first and only warning. What comes next is violent, uncalled for and can bring the strongest of men to their knees. You have all been warned.

    My first backpacking adventure was at age 51. My total pack weight was 30 lbs and thought that was heavy when doing the Cutler Trail head in Maine. Decided to cut back the weight for the upcoming Spring trips in 2021 and cut it down by 6 lbs more. Thanks for the video. Just bought the Nuun, fist aid kit and compass too.

    I think you did a really good job going through your gear. It was clear and understandable, without being overly long, and you didn’t go off subject and talk about side issues like people can sometimes do. It was informative, and interesting, and I ended up picking up a couple items that you recommend.

    Nice gear layout and well thought out. As you said everyone hikes their own hike and that is what makes it so much fun. As the realtors like to say...Location , Location , Location. I can go ultralight here in Florida since the weather does not change that much. The basic items stay the same the greater majority of time.
    The greatest variable I have is the amount of food that's needed. A light weight Bear bag ( waterproof stuff sack ) and the Loksak is a great combination. The dehydrated meals are transfer to Zip Lock (quart ) Freezer Bags. I squeeze the air out of the re bagged food and seal it. In camp they are cooked the freezer bag way. Just don't forget to list the water and time on the zip lock , what the meal is also helps.

    • @KrokemOutdoors

I love the thermometer and compass key chain. No one has shown that on their video. Great touch. Hope I can hit up Big Bend as soon as I am ready.

It's funny a lot of hikers don't use chairs! A chair is a must. Why be so uncomfortable on the trail. Not very enjoyable in my opinion. Anyways nice gear. I also like to use my wood burning stove 👍

    Nice setup man!! A little heavy for me but your are carrying for two people and a dog so understandable. We have some similar gear though. I carry the essee 5 knife works great and a mountain hardwear lamina z 22 degree sleeping bag its not down but it works great. Its pretty much the lightest weight synthetic bag out there. Im glad you showed us your platypus gravity water filter. I was going to buy another sawyer squeeze but might spend a little extra and try this one out. Squeeze is a little slow but works ok. I use a msr pocket rocket mini 2 stove kit! I love it! Not too much different than the optimus and similar size and quality. I used to carry the jet boil zip but not as versatile as cannister iso stoves. Hope you guys had a great trip!! Thanks for sharing! Hike on!

    I like to hike to my camp sites. That means I think of it as a camping trip. I always bring comfort items like an air mattress and chair. I also bring wood processing tools like my Bahco Laplander and ESEE 6, but I also bring a couple extra knives I use to carve walking sticks (one of my favorite hobbies while in the mountains). I also bring a pen fishing rod, bait, and a small tackle box for fishing in mountain lakes, streams, etc. I love it when I watch these videos and see many of my own items.
    Edit: lol!! I hadn't seen your Izula prior to commenting. Your taste in knives is very similar to my own. I carry a BK24 with G10 scales along with my ESEE 6.

      Unfortunately, the BK24 is discontinued and difficult to find. You may try eBay or knife groups on Facebook and Instagram. The BK14 is essentially the same knife, but made with 1095 steel and coated. The BK24 is D2 steel and uncoated. I suggest stripping the coating from the blade if you get the BK14.

    Great to finally see someone that's not white doing a backpacking video. Anyways, the platypus gravity filter is awesome. I've had mine for nearly a decade and never had to replace the filter because I always backflush it.
    If you're okay with your load weight that's great, but I noticed that you do have a decent amount extra weight that you could easily drop should you decide you want to. Extra knives, bear spray, stuff sacks, lights (you really only need a headlamp), etc. That being said I don't care about ultralight but I enjoy the hike more when I'm not carrying unnecessary weight.

    Beautiful set up brother. I just did a 2 nighter at the end of a 4 mile hike. I brought such an excessive ammount of gear my last few times out. I carry a few too many blades like you (kind of a knife enthusiast) gonna just do the 1 blade and carry a saw instead of axe. My platapus is 3 liter and only used 1 on the hike in but seen plenty of water sources to grab more. Also extra stove is a bit much. Could always build a fire. Its hard to trade luxuries or peace of mind for a more relaxing hike in but i find most the extras i bring dont even get used. Btw how are the mountain house breakfasts? Happy trails!

      Phil Mc Racken well, I bring the extra stove because it weighs just a few ounces and it rains a lot where I go, so making fires is a gamble. So far, I’m comfortable with the weight, but I’m sure I’ll go lighter later in life. As for the breakfasts, I can’t say that I’m a huge fan, but it gets the job done and fills my stomach. Sometimes I miss car camping because I can make bacon and eggs lol. Thanks for watching and sharing your story, I really appreciate them!

    Nice organized video. Seems like a practical gear list. I have seen somewhere that about 20% of your body weight is a good target weight for a backpack. How did the chair wook out? I see those in the store but always figured the legs would sink into the ground. Does your watch also function as a compass? I like a full size compass with adjustable declination especially if traveling in unfamiliar area. I look forward to watching your "gear in use video". Also am curious to see what you consider worth carrying in a first aid kit.

    Good video, good presentation. I did not like the intro music though. I was, mostly, and they Confort and luxury backpack and gear but as I am growing older I have changed too much lighter and less luxurious gear. Is your stove good at simmering? I have the same stove but the folding kind and it is very bad at simmering. It has other good features though. Enjoy your trip. God bless you.

    I sometimes use the extra rucksack weight as a form of workout when i got hiking/camping i push the distance and lower the time and being a larger man i can carry more than 50 pounds without any trouble if i load the rucksack the way it should be.
    Personally the items i take are in a more of a tool function like binoculars a multi-tool or things of that nature since i like to practice other skills while i am in the outdoors and no i don't mean bushcraft.

    Awesome video. I agree that a few extra things make the trip a lot better and are worth the weight. About how much do you weigh? I've found pretty consistently that I have to stay in the 25-32lbs. range if I want to go more than 20 miles, but I'm a skinny guy.

    Hello, I was just wondering about the mountain House pro-packs. I bought a military style 3 day assault pack 33 litres off of Amazon for bush-craft/camping trips. I’m not in the military. I just like that style of pack due to the space and durability. Anyway, what I’m wondering is, would the pro-packs fit well-enough in the secondary pocket to fit three days worth of meals in there?
