Dan Becker sent me my DREAM backpacking gear load-out! *UNBOXING*

In July of 2023, I took the risk of driving 6 hours non-stop to camp with someone I've never met. Equipped with my traditional heavy camping equipment, I made my way up the trail to the campsite ‪@DanBecker‬ was staying at, of which he had shared the coordinates for just 24 hours prior. I was the only one to show up.
The experience paid off... in more ways than one. I had a great time talking to Dan and his editor & cameraman, Emmett. They expressed their concerns about the risk of sharing their location, and the excitement they felt once I had arrived (relieved that I wasn't an "crazy ax murderer"). After the hike out and lunch the following today, I was caught completely off guard when Dan not only handed me his Durston tent, but also promised to gift me everything I needed to start my backpacking journey. Between him and numerous outdoor companies, I now had my dream lineup of backpacking gear of my own.
I received the equipment in the mail over the course of the next two months, and I made this video to share with you all my excitement in opening it. This video serves as a thank you to ‪@DanBecker‬ , ‪@durstongear‬ , ‪@TaysonWhittaker‬ , ‪@CumulusOutdoor‬ , ‪@onXBackcountry‬ , ‪@SawyerProducts‬ ‪@rei‬ . I am so blessed and grateful.
