Maybe try a water bottle pocket on the shoulder straps?

@@juicehikes5436 My new pack came with one so I’m hoping it will work.

Awesome!

Good luck! You don't need as much as you think you do.

My quite uses 950 down with the draft collar. Yes, it's rated to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. We are working on the 50L pack but it won't be available until later this year. Unfortunately when it comes to customs fees we have zero say or control over what is charged and it varies from country to country. Cheers!

nice im looking forward to it. do you have experience with wolfs and foxes during your thruhikes, especially during the night? online i find people advising to eat and hang the food on a tree at least 100ft from the tent, also wanted to ask you how you deal with ticks wearing all the time running shorts except using a spray repellent. thanks. greetings from italy

@@OQULTO I have some experience with both wolves and foxes but no real issues. You just encounter them sometimes on trail or at night but they usually keep their distance. I treat all my clothes in Permethrin for tick prevention and when necessary I use Picardin lotion which keeps ticks, flies, and mosquitoes at bay. The lotion lasts around 12 hours too which is great!

@@juicehikes5436 thanks 🤙

Worn weight, haha!

Sorry, I don't own the CONCURVE!

You should check out some of my newer ones!

Nashville makes great packs!

Hey Daniel! Getting out as much as I can. I released a gear video a few months back th-cam.com/video/RmNnuE4tIug/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BMrQGIP1VYn7TSi9. Headed out to Yosemite soon a few weeks!

Hey It's Tim! I bet the trail was way more crowded than when Darwin and I went in February. Thanks again for the ride sir!

Do you know Darwin personally?

@@juicehikes5436 What you think of as a response is reduced to “Unless you know someone personally, you ought not criticize them.” You’re committed to the position that you can’t criticize that other idiot, Donald Trump, since you don’t know him. Think before you type Juice.

@@juicehikes5436 What’s the logical necessity of knowing someone personally in order to render a criticism? I’m failing to see a rebuttal.

I make it a point not to criticize others just as a point of being a decent human being. Everyone's got their own stuff going on. Better to be kind and treat others as you would like to be treated. It's sad to see what people are willing to say behind the safety of their keyboard.

@@juicehikes5436And why should someone share your values?

Thanks @CaptainCamp! Appreciate you tuning in!

Both were equally awesome!

Thanks! We did Gokyo and EBC in September of 2023. Enjoy your trip!

No, I'm not a daily vlogger. I'm also not thru-hiking the PCT this year. The gear list was just for a section of the PCT but could easily be used as a thru-hiking kit. I just released the trip video today th-cam.com/video/7J7BxPKlltM/w-d-xo.html.

The Ranger is a 45L pack with plenty of room if your gear is dialed in. I had 5 days of food and full comfort items with room to spare. Lots of people carry smaller packs than this on thru hikes. It fits a BV450 on the inside and you can attach a larger bear can on the top. There are only a few places in the US that it’s necessary to carry a bear can so that’s not much of a concern. Pretty rational choice for a pack as far as I’m concerned.

@@juicehikes5436 it probably depends on your daily consumption and height, I am 6'2'' and my food takes up a lot more room. I have a Copper Spur 2 person tent, Western mountaineering sleeping bag and I can hardly fit everything into a 60L pack.

@@NVIK5 possibly but I’m 6’1 and consume 3000-4000 calories a day. Your tent and sleeping bag take up a lot more room than the Altaplex tent and Enlightened Equipment quilt I carried on this trip though. Also how you pack your largest volume items can have a lot of impact. Tons of people have completed thru hikes on all the major trails using this pack.

It’s not mandatory to hire a guide. It’s suggested and they want it to appear like you have to have one but in reality you can hike without a guide.

@@juicehikes5436 thanks for the response.

Haha, Darwin designed the Waymark EVLV for Mark and then Mark never paid him a dime for it. You may want to know the facts before you use words like “copied.”

🤣

Thanks for tuning in!

I haven't used a bear can with the Ranger yet. It will fit a BV450 or you can use the Y-strap to attach a bear can to the top of the pack.

I used Garmins for over a decade (both the Fenix and Forerunner) and just recently switched to the Apple Watch Ultra. They both have their drawbacks, battery life being one of them for the Apple Watch. As an everyday smart watch though the Apple Watch is just better. If I was hiking for 3-4 months straight and the main purpose was only to track activities I would probably opt for the Garmin with significantly better battery.

About 40L

Haven’t tried them. Maybe I’ll check them out! Thanks

So it can just be buried somewhere else?

Hey Mike, we did change the sizing in late 2023 so the first version size medium is now the size small. I wear the size small of the new version and it works really well for me.

Zpacks used to sell it but discontinued it. One of their best products IMO!

get a pocket tarp and modify it

Thanks for tuning in! EBC is epic! Unless its below 35F I always hike in shorts. As long as you keep moving its pretty easy to stay warm. Obviously we had layers to throw in if need be but really only used them when we stopped or were at a pass/summit.

Thanks for tuning in!

I wear a size medium and it fits great!

@@juicehikes5436 okay, so I'm gonna dare to ask a weird. Mind telling me your sleeve length?

Hey Andy, thanks for tuning in. Only part of my kit is from stuff we make. It's not just because I own the company, it really is some of the best stuff out there. Always have to be testing. The R7 is still holding up strong, still not a better UL jacket out there!

I do but didn’t bring them for this section.

I always do at least one gear loadout video a year. It's just Evolved to include quite a bit of our own gear. Always testing!

🤣there is quite a bit of overlap!

Yessir! Just a little toggle on the end to tighten and loosen.

Thanks for tuning in! I haven’t used the Capeline, I know they used to have different weights of tights. They are probably similar. I use the Ultrapod tripod available on Amazon and it has a longer Velcro strap. I attach the tripod to my trekking pole using the strap for added height

There will be two color options, the grey that I’m wearing and a green that Darwin is wearing. Targeting mid-March to release.

Awesome Tim! It was great meeting you and thanks again for the ride!!

You don't have to like Darwin to like our gear. But it is odd to dislike someone you don't know.

@@juicehikes5436 People dislike Hitler and Voldemort. It’s completely rational. I do like you though.

Ah, it's cool. I'd prefer that people who use terms like "cringe lord" not use our gear anyways.

@@DarwinOnthetrailSays the guy who tries to retain watch time with gestures and wide eyes. 😂

Hey Micah! It was great sharing some miles with you. Hopefully we can meet up again sometime soon!

Thanks Rod! I’ll be there with Darwin with a booth for Evolved. We will be right next to Danny at Superior Gear and Enlightened Equipment. Hope to see you there!

@@juicehikes5436, Sweet! Can't wait to see you again and meet Darwin!👍

Hey William! I thought I would miss them more than I did. Both packs were equally comfortable to carry all day. The Nashville Pack just puts most of the weight on your chest and lower back while The Ranger distributes the weight more on the top of your back and shoulders as well as your lower back. Both are great, just different styles. Cheers!

Thanks for the response! Competition only benefits the hiking community and I think both companies have a lot to offer. I still really like all my Nashville products and have a good relationship with the team over there. I hope they continue to grow and succeed in the outdoor market.

Thanks Peter! Never done the Everglades Challenge.
