That is awesome! Next time add a front fanny pack for more food and water (and maybe padding for sleep).

You didn't show the design plan, soI'm watching you draw lines and cut fabric and I don't know what it is...

Holy crap. $40 for a pattern??????

Excellent Thanks

Can I ask whats the model year and frame size please

Great review! Salsa does not provide the weight on its website. I think of two possible reasons. First, their manufacturing variance is too big. Due to low standard quality control, Salsa cannot post a reasonable weight. Two, Salsa is ashamed of its weight. Cutthroat doesn't have a suspension, but perhaps it weights as much as or more than a lightweight hardtail. That what I deduce from the lack of the weight spec. I had interest on Cutthroat, but not anymore.

By the way you remind me of Primoz Roglic! The cyclist🚴‍♀️💨

Are you thinking of doing the tour divide?☺️

hey mate. whats that blue puffer?

Great backpack! Which sewing machine is that?

Damn dog you homaged the Flextrek Whipsnake Backpack infomercial! Deep cut! 🎉

Is there somewhere we can get the pattern you used for this?

immediate upvote for steve climber holy shit I love it

THE best review and comparison! I think you just saved me (from a mistake) and cost me ($$$) at the same time (; Thank you!

Hi~~ What’s your pants? So cool pants!!!!👍 I want buy your pants …tell me brand name!🙏

Awesome job on completing the trail. I really enjoyed the film.

Outstanding series. Thanks for posting. It really is amazing.

this is awesome man, i'm not an experienced backpacker (i did a few trips in boy scouts with gear that they supplied us) but i want to get into it, and after looking at the $300-400 name brand packs, i simply did not want to pay that much. after some further research i found hyperlite packs and saw that they were made with dyneema, and i immediately thought, maybe i should just buy some and make my own pack? i figured it would be outlandish and difficult, but i came to find out that many had done the same thing, but this video is amazing because you show every step of the process and make it much less intimidating for me. i can't wait to get started on my own gear. thanks for sharing your process, awesome video

Yo, looking to get the versalite, curious about sizing, I think we are about the same size, I'm 5,6 and 130ish. You think the small is right for me, hows the fit when you put it on over a puffy?

How long was your rope?

It’s snags so so easy thou! My friends alpha fleece is a disaster now after a few hikes up here … I wish I could love this fabric

love the pack and the video!! I am wondering if your way of having the Loop for the Hook on the back instead of the front is better, I always do it reverse, but never tried it your way. I guess with the advantage of your way is that the Hook is never hanging in the back

Good to hear about the Versalite. Thinking about buying one this year.

I had to go with the enlightened equipment because they have a extra wide quilt. My shoulders are too wide for most.

Trying to decide on size for me. How tall and what did you go for? I’m 5’9 inseam is typically 30-31

Fugg Off and Pack

In my opinion, you used the wrong insulation mat.😅

Cool idea for an overnighter. I got thirsty just watching you climb out of the canyon 😅

My friends and I have joked about this while on the Escalante Route 😂

Really enjoyed this! Had a Glen Van Peski vibe to it. Thanks for bringing us along. Nice work!

Always enjoy seeing your adventures dude. Thanks for bringing us along and sharing the ups and downs. Impressive how much you could actually fit in that red paw pack!

I love your shirt. Where did you get it?

I'm not a huge Skurka fan, but this truly is... stupid light.

I love the hip pack hike/camp plan! With just a few upgrades, pad, breathable SOL bivy, nuts(real food), pillow somehow and a bigger hip pack with an actual water bottle holder and I think it could be bordering on cozy. . . .maybe a base layer bottoms for sleeping warm. I think I could do it with nothing and it would be HORRIBLE!

My vote would be the Wind River High Route with nothing but a GG crotch pot, trekking pole, and a poncho tarp.

Now do the Hayduke with just your fanny pack.

This video was oddly satisfying and surprisingly well made considering your bare bones setup. Just when I thought the quest to lower one’s base weight was a race to the bottom, you took things to new depths. Now let’s see you do this with one of those little Patagonia nylon fanny packs.

Not sure if you brought one of those Garmin 'oh-shit' buttons, but probably a good idea in case

Think that's an irresponsible af dare. And you should know that, considering how close you came on water then food. Having someone picking you up at predesignated and with one night out, fine, but thats honestly as far as that experiment should be pushed far as I'm concerned. There's traveling light then traveling irresponsibly. But glad you had a good hike and that it worked out well. Great footage and narrative just maybe think of a better angle than encouraging folks to be irresponsible. You don't need that extra water til you really do.

Total legend! When you told me about this idea shortly after I met you so many years ago I only knew to laugh. Thanks for always inspiring me to figure out how to go lighter so that I can go farther more comfortably and have experiences I might not otherwise have!

Hahahah😮not me

That was awesome. Glad you had good weather. Those mice at the beach camps are fearless!

Leave a comment if you have a suggestion for another challenge like this for me to do!
