You video was well made and edited. It was also well planed out. And of course the content was useful and informative. Keep up the videos. I look forward to your other videos. Keep it up.
Great tip! I love Buff's both for winter warmth and summer UV protection. I do not carry a sit mat for backpacking, but do have an inflatable Kymit pad for camping. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Well done. My set up is very much the same. As for insulation, I always carry a spare pair of socks. Foot care is critical on the trail. If your feet aren’t happy you won’t be either.
Thank you! You are correct about footcare. Leukotape is a game changer for those prone to blisters. I find myself carrying socks, light gloves, and a light beanie even in warmer temps. You never know. See you outside.
Glad it was helpful! My gear list has changed slightly since this video. I have also posted a few checklists for summer and winter. Check out outsidechronicles.com/resources. See you outside!
Great video! Thanks for all the information. Wanted to mention that the bathroom kit should also include a trowel. I believe many locations require that you dig a cat hole for solid waste.
I strongly prefer the Katadyn BeFree over the Sawyer Mini. The bladder is stronger, it filters about 3x faster and the maintenance is easier. I just had a Sawyer Mini pouch fail on me again. 2 trips, 2 fails!
Interesting, I do not have any experience with the Katadyn BeFree. It might be a good comparison video! I have been very happy with the Sawyer Mini. I used the included bladders for a bit without issue, but I have since upgraded to the CNOC Vecto as my "dirty" side. The CNOC Vecto makes gathering water a snap. I had one failure with the Sawyer due to the rubber gasket. My next video in queue is a simple fix.
Nice! The flow on the Katadyn blows the Sawyer away too. If you ever get your hands on one, a comparison video would be great! I do believe someone does have one on UA-cam though.
So one thing I question about the Katadyn is its capacity, it looks like 1000L and then you need to replace the cartridge? I like the bigger hole in the bladder, but then that makes it non-standard on water bottles or other bladders.
@@OutsideChronicles So, it is 42mm filter and works with a bunch of bladders that Hydrapak makes. Anywhere from 500ml up to 3 or 4 liter! It'll also fit on a standard Gatorade bottle, but that'd be a difficult squeeze. Don't know what you mean about replacing the cartridge.
@@OutsideChronicles Sometimes I will carry my handgun, but some people freak out when those are mentioned! Also because on one hike I fell and tore my rotator cuff I'll pack some potent pain relief also.
@@PapajosTraders Good suggestion, if I had to choose one thing to bring on the trail from these items, it would probably be duct tape. I have used to to fix shoes and wounds.
There should be 13 essentials rain jacket and pants plus a warm jacket. Life in the outdoors is not fun if you’re cold or get hypothermia you can get in summer too.
I always have a rain shell and sometimes a puffy jacket. I think those would fall under the Insulation System. This "system" can change widely depending on the time of year and location of your hike. But you are right, people do not think you can get hypothermia in 65 degree weather. Add in some rain, and it could be disastrous. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
V nice video. But looking at the amount of water to be carried I guess I'll never be able to go a multi day hike. 6 ltrs I cnt carry more than that. I am too weak 🥺
well done!
Thank you, see you outside!
Neat! talking about nutrition. I really miss the Kendal Mint Cake/Bar we could get in the Rockies back in the seventies.

Thanks I appreciate the kind words, see you outside!
Good video. I would add carry a sit mat too and a buff scarf. Great advice and hopefully newcomers take heed...I see so many without the essentials.

Good suggestion! I use The Deuce!
great video, great info
Thank you, if you are interested I have some gear lists and checklists at outsidechronicles.com/resources/
Nice one mate , great information 👍
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Good Video 😊

Definitely agree with having some sort of garbage bag in order to leave no trace. 👍👍 I keep 2, one for dirty clothes, one for trash.

Good tips. Pretty much what I carry.
Thanks, do you carry any other essential items not on my list? On some steep hikes, I carry 40ft of webbing just in case.
@@OutsideChronicles Sometimes I will carry my handgun, but some people freak out when those are mentioned! Also because on one hike I fell and tore my rotator cuff I'll pack some potent pain relief also.
Thanks for the video. I never thought of duct tape or rope.
You are welcome. Duct tape and paracord are probably the two things I use most on the trail for repairs.
I wrap my Nalgenes, Bic lighters, flashlights with duct tape, so I'll always have some handy.

I never carry more than 3l. I use a Sawyer Squeeze or Katadyn BeFree to purify water at camp or on the trail. Water is heavy! See you outside!
What is the size and brand of the dry sack you showed that fills your pack?
I have the Osprey Small Bag Liner in my Osprey Talon 33: www.osprey.com/us/en/product/pack-liner-small-PACKLNRSM.html Thanks for watching!
Why do you have a thumbs down 🤷🏻♂️
There are always a few in the crowd! Thanks for watching and I am sure clicking like. Haters will be haters.
Sorry dude but the 10 essentials started with the Seattle Mountaineers in the 1930’s not the 70’s
