Thank you for the video. Best wishes on your hike. Safe travels.
Great video! Lots of great products for me to do my homework on and consider upgrading my pack list to when possible. Thank you!
I hope you are finished or finishing soon. What an epic summer for a long walk in nature. Safe travels.

Thanks so much, Michael. I appreciate the kind words

@@intheopenair3725 where have you been we need an update video
Nice ! Happy hiking
Thanks a lot! Are you guys hitting the trail this year?
Powerful info. THANKS
Thanks very much, Wendy!
Enjoy every minute. Good luck
Cheers!
Great gear and video.
Thanks a bunch!
I've heard so many people say they have heard of people having trouble with the BRS stove
But I have never heard of any one that actually uses one having a problem, in fact I hear nothing but good. I own one and can't imagine carrying any other except my alcohol stove. But alcohol is hard to find along the A.T. Ok for short trips ✌️
Can't convince myself to buy another stove because they're all heavier than my brs and the only issues I've had with it so far I caused myself, like using it to cook with a real pan in windy conditions which is the ONLY time one of the arms bent. Brs ftw
Hey man- did you give up or stop? - I just wanted to say - thanks for the inspiration for living in a CRV! I’m looking to do a build like you did- great use of space-
Well- hope all is well! Look forward to more videos- but I see it’s been 2 years since you’ve posted a new video:(
Thanks again!
Hello Brad , I also have a 2004 CRV , but mine is FWD… I’m having a problem choosing a power inverter for the (Accessory Power Sockets) aka Cigarette plug’ I have one on the front panel & one in the rear… The only info my service manual provides is the Following details ‘’’’ (Accessory Power Sockets, These sockets are intended to supply power for 12 volt DC accessories that are rated 120 watts or less (10 amps).
To power an accessory, the ignition switch must be in the ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II) position.
When both sockets are being used, the combined power rating of both accessories should be 120 watts or less (10 amps).
These sockets will not power an automotive type cigarette lighter element.) … I hope you can help me because i can’t find a plug-in inverter that meet those spec’s … thanks Louie…
Learning a lot in your channel but where have you been recently?
How's it going on the trail? I hope you are well
Why noprotected? Neoair Uberlite wide since you are in a bivy sack for a groundsheet it should be proteted?
If you don’t need the length, you could shorten the XLite. Voids the warranty though.
How’s the thru hike going?
Curious why you wouldn't just add the 2.9 oz. Sea to Summit mosquito net shelter for 12.5 oz. combined weight instead of sending for your 14.75 oz. Solplex? Would be easier/cheaper to ship, too.
Thanks for a very informative video. I hadn't heard of that pillow before. Good luck on your hike!
This is a great question! Here’s my reasoning: It’s going to be quite buggy in Colorado and Wyoming which is why I’m then ditching the tarp. After much use with the Sea to Summit nano net, I’ve decided that the vertical walls of the Solplex and the interior space they provide are far more beneficial and important to me than saving 2.5oz’s and using the, more often than not, saggy bug & borderline claustrophobic bug net.
@@intheopenair3725 Ahh, thank you! I was kind of wondering about that with the nano tent, not having owned one before. I had previously considered the Zpacks Pocket tarp w/doors, bathtub, and nano, but I am fairly tall and read some things about it not being the best solution for a taller person so I moved on from it.
Dont get me wrong, it’s an amazing tarp and bivy combo. But during mosquito season, I’ll always opt for a tent.
Where are you, did you finish the trail?
Hey man, hope you are okay. Any plans to drop a vid anytime soon? CDT news? Updates?
I saw your inside cooking video. Why not just add a small board on top of your bed and put your stove on that.
No mattress to move. Might be easier. Just a thought.
You have a great UL setup. However, the SOL breathable bivy is basically the same weight as you Borah cuben fiber one. The SOL has the silver reflective liner, so it will keep you warmer. I use a 3 oz. cuben fiber asym tarp over it. Just ordered the 7x9 cuben fiber flat tarp from Zpacks to make a double wall tarp setup to eliminate condensation. Really nice backpack - never heard of the company but eager to look them up. Enjoy your hike.
Thanks very much! I believe you’re incorrect about the bivy. I’ve used the SOL and woke up soaked from inner condensation. It’s made of Mylar (the silver reflective liner) and designed for emergency use / why it’s so cheap. Mylar is not breathable at all. No bueno for daily use. But hey, HYOH 🤙
gearjunkie.com/camping/gear-review-adventure-medical-kits-bivy-sacks
From article above: “One caveat: Both these bivvy sacks are made of non-breathable material, meaning they get clammy if sealed tight around the body for long periods.”
@@intheopenair3725 The SOL bivy you are thinking about us the cheap Mylar non-breathable one that does cause condensation. I use the expensive breathable ones - $60 to $120 and do not have that problem on the PCT even without a tarp. I did a test last night in my grassy yard with high condensation last night and it was dry. I made a video and will upload later today. You can see my 2016 PCT Sierras videos where I used a $1O Mylar tent that I used as a bivy and was dry during a week of rain. With those, you have to be careful not to breath into them as that will cause condensation while you sleep. For my thermal SOL bivy, it has Velcro vents at the footbox. You probably sleep hotter, so you might be over-insulated and sweating at night and/or were in a more humidity hiking environment. It is very dry here in the desert section of the PCT.
Nice, a fellow PCT’er! I hiked it nobo in 2018. Pleasure to “meet” you. What’s the brand of these more expensive versions you’re referencing? I’d love to check it out. Cheers!
@@intheopenair3725 I might of met you when I went SoBo in 2018 when I flipped. The Yosemite Fire and Mammoth Fires ended my trip that year. NOBO again this year, leaving in a week. Every year, getting more UL. Both the breathable bivys are SOL brand. They have them at REI. For the Mylar space blanket, if you duct tape it to the inside of your tarp, away from your campfire and duct tape your polycro on your campfire side, you get the heat retention igloo/greenhouse effect, super warm. Using expensive and cheap gear, I think both can work and it is just experimenting out in the field. I’ll sub to your channel and catch up with your trip when I return from mine. Good luck and happy hiking!!!
Excellent!! Have a great time on the PCT! I absolutely love that trail. Go shred it up.
It’s possible we met.. what’s your trail name? Paddles here ;)
did you end up not hiking last year?
Are you ok I see you haven't posted anything in two years
Did you finish the hike?
Where are you we haven't heard a peep!!!
Btw,, what is the total weight of your pack then now?
Base weight is 7.48lbs. With food and water it will fluctuate anywhere between 8 - 20 lbs. cheers!!
Looks like a great set up. No extra socks or undies?
Thanks a lot!! One pair of extra socks :) forgot to film them but they are included in the total weight. No extra undies.
@intheopenair where r u? It's been over a year
What’s the total carry weight of that zimmer built pack
The pack alone weighs 15 ounces (after I cut the hip belt off). With all my gear (minus food, water, fuel) it comes in around 7.5lbs
@@intheopenair3725 awesome. What’s the most weight you’ve had in it and for how long.
I’m currently hiking the CDT with it. The longest stretch so far has been 6.5 days. Total weight on that first day out was probably 21 lbs or so. But you eat constantly, so your pack weight drastically reduces from day to day. I’d say my average pack weight is about 14 or 15 pounds.
What are you talking about? My Toaks 750 pot is 82g (2.9oz) and the lid it came with is 16g (.6oz), my Toaks 1.5L pot is 165g (5.8oz) and the lid is 35g (1.2oz), so you might want to correct your facts. Great vid otherwise.
The Nitcore NB10000 is not the lightest 10K charger...The lightest is the Moxnice, which is 2g lighter.
:)
Wonder how he’s doing. Anyone know?
I officially finished the trail on Sept 12!! Walked every darn tootin step between Mexico & Canada, just flew home and I’m feeling great.
Thanks for asking. Hope all is well your way.
I’m so glad to see you are well. I’ve been wondering how you were doing. Can’t wait to see the epic video of this adventure. Rest up! Thanks for answering. I thought it would be another month before there would be a response.
So you’re not taking any socks, not taking any shorts, not taking any shirts???.
