that was super rad and interesting!

Not a backpacker or hiker but how about purifying that filtered water , just saying

Does the tiny repeller s really work? How much have you used it? We're any of those times in a heavy mosquito area? My husband gets eaten alive and goes through sooo much bug spray 🤣

Good video very helpful! Thank you!

I always seem to forget something lol Getting the right backpack was another obstacle.

Good Content. Love from India

What insurance company did you use for the trek?

Ok my question is this- when hiking in a dress, how do you prevent chaffing or is that just not an issue for you? If so you're very lucky!

THANK YOU for the bra suggestion! I also love the Icebreaker hipkini briefs for my treks, but their bras don't come close to what my body would need. This bra looks like the perfect choice! Wish it was easier to try out in Canada though...

A ran into a bear recent. Drinking my water. He was beautiful. But i was shacking in my shoes till i pulled my personal high pitched alarm. I could barely roll a smoke or make coffee. Hahahaha.

I want to do the crackers and tunafish packet thing but old school hikers say tuna is s big time bear attractant. But i seen food stored in mylar bags is not. What do you think about this?

damn gurl you a cold sleeper, glad you found solutions

I recently picked up a rapide SL, hope it was the right choice. I went back and forth between the Rapide and the Tensor Extreme

I love how you immediately shut down the gear judges shaking down your choices 😂

Hikers need to learn off Bushcraft people to. Im not carrying fuel. I do firewood. In a titanium stove.

Have you hiked the full way from Mount Sentinel to the other end of Crazy Creek? I have been wanting to do this but an too chicken to do it myself and my lady friend hikers don't usually hike that far in a day. If so, how long did it take you?

love your costco ideas. i use costco for my PCT hiking foods. However, you gave me some great ideas.

My backpack is heavy condura. This backpack is awesome. All my camping tools are on my battle belt. Argh. Looks like im getting a quilt.

Im into bushcraft. Hikers are smarter going lighter. Some bushcraft guys are learning from hikers. Im learning both. Your food selection videos are awesome. Im goimg to do the same but with mylar bags to put boiling water in. Just got folding ultralight camping pad. It is super light. Im going to use it as a seat as well folded up.

I dont know if anyone else likes this. but I absolutley love GV frosted wheats that I dip in Jiff Penut butter. I get a 24 oz box of frosted wheats and a 40 oz jar of Jiff for under $10.00, and its like 8800 calories. Always feels like Im eating something substantial with a satisfying crunch, lots of fiber, filling penut butter, and sweet frosting. I live this much better than any bars. I also bring nutella for a change up, or a combo...lol.

I really like those gaiters you have, all the ones I've found are super long, may I ask where did you get them from?

I am planning my first trip for later this year, but it will only be for 1 night. Do I still need everything you listed?

Great post, this is really helpful and informative thanks! 🚴🏼‍♂️🌿🧘🏼🙏

You’re awesome. Safe travels.

Maybe I missed it but what about long pants?

That medication case is cute. I see you pack about 20 pills of different types each. Is that for through hiking?

LOVE THE PURPLE ITEMS

I can no longer watch your videos unless I get a 2nd job. 😂 We have almost identical gear and have been hiking about the same number of years, then you pull out yet another awesome video with things I MUST HAVE. I don't need a poop kit, plastic ziplock has worked for years, but I want one with a funny stinky on the side. I have a nylon med bag, but not one with crossed bandaids on it. I have a light weight thermal bag to warm my food, but it doesn't compress down and I swear it is going to poke a hole in my Mariposa. I just picked up The One a few weeks ago based on your review and our similar gear likes. Also grabbed the 1/8" pad to go under it. I have to put stinky and owwie bags on my gift list now.

Love the medicine organizer Kathleen 😉💜! 16:05

I got the Mariposa for a Merry Christmas to me! I have been finally able to take it on a maiden voyage. I am still trying to like trekking pole tent, but meh I am 60 yrs old.. I like my free standing tent when it's windy and I"m grumpy setting up LOL. Thanks for all the information you put out there.. It's always fun to hear another perspective and possibly new gear idea! You are appreciated.

Have a wonderful time on the PCT. You've been a great source of info and inspiration for me. This summer I'm heading out for a week on the Colorado Trail. My first long solo trip (I've only done one solo overnight before) . 😮 I'm a bit afraid, but that's ok because I'm confident in my abilities. Fear isn't always a bad thing. Cheers to summer 2024 adventures!!

I'm so impressed with your video. I'm a senior in Arizona, and while not a backpacker (SUV camper) you included very helpful information for any kind of camping or beginner hiking.

PHENOMENAL! I used the Garmin when I helped a friend sail a boat from the Philipines to Australia. It had brilliant weather updates and we could keep in touch with family while in the middle of nowhere.

I didn’t think about zip lock bags. Thanks! It’s on my list now. I’ll definitely add fruit snacks and gold fish! I won’t be backpacking, I might be homeless in April. Thanks for the tip on the hard cheese! Hopefully Target will have it! I also like it with pepperoni. Also, Lunchables are a good quick option too. I’ll definitely get those larger ones and snack packs.

Great video!

Brilliant kit video 👍🏼 given me some great ideas and a long wish list, especially the tent 🤦🏻‍♂️💰

got a question though. Is the tent already seam sealed or do you need to do that yourself? Just curious!

I agree with the thermacell as a mosquito repellent, growing up in the 60's and all the stuff we sprayed on ourselves couldn't have been good for us! if its topical, i wont use it, never know what its really made of.

Great video!

It’s so funny, I learned how to backpack over 20 years ago from NOLS and my first pack weight was 55 pounds. I had to brace the bottom of my pack on my knee, pull up the straps, and do a quick turn to get it on, often helped by my fellow backpackers. Carried weight was a point of pride! Nowadays my pack weight is less than half that, and my older body is much happier. 😂

Dr. Bronner’s is the best!

Lovely video and helpful as well! Bravo 👏👏

Excellent video Worthy of several viewings, for sure

I love a gear video! The only problem is that I always end up with more gear on my wishlist 😅 I think I need to get that Big Sky cozy. And I love the swap from a ziplock to that reusable day-of food bag. I’m definitely getting one of those!

I have to admit it...Guilty as charged! 😳🤣 I'm influenced by your gear choices. And maybe spend more money on gear than I really should... 🤫 But I also don't feel bad about that because I know you only ever recommend gear that works for you 😁 and I can trust. Maybe it won't work for me, but I'll give it a try knowing it's a quality piece of gear. FYI, hardly ever doesn't work for me, which just means more great gear ❤. Not sure I'm ready for a treking pole tent though...😬 It's also kind of nice knowing I can return the favor and introduce you to some cool new stuff as well. 🙃

I always love the videos of everything in your pack and then going through the lighter pack list! And you got the fun bandaids! Do the icebreaker underwear fit similar to the intraknit hipsters? Mostly curious about if they are similar in where the waistband sits.
