With a Commonwealth passport I wouldn't have even thought about it.

Newest GG One is using sil-PU rather than sil-poly, which should help prevent the water weight. It’s a no-brainer that the Duplex Light is the superior choice. But with the price being more than three times expensive, the DuplexL is out of reach for most occasional hikers or hikers on a budget.

We enjoyed following your hike. Maybe I missed it but what was your backpack? Did it hold up well? The side pocket was huge and could fit your tent - wow. Did having something so large on the side throw your weight off when hiking?

The Liteaf 46L Curve has load lifters if you ever manage to wear out your 40L. There are also other cottage gear companies that you can get hip belt pockets to add to yours via the webbing chain. It's a great pack!

Thanks for this video. And what about the Zpacks Ultra arc Haul ? Do you try it before opting for the new one ?

I’ve always been a gorilla guy myself!

A most useful video. I'm hoping to buy a new rucksack for next year's season and have been looking at the Gorilla,. The two dislikes, the scuffing problem, and the wet getting through, have persuaded me to look elsewhere. I hike in the UK and we have lots of wet weather. At present I have a Nigor 50L made from Dyneema, it's light, tough and comfortable but unfortunately, the company I think has gone out of business. However I do know what I like, in terms of design and what I will look for again, one big area to pack, a large pocket on the back, two side pockets and two belt pockets, etc, but this time 40L sounds much better size. I can never fill my 50L and because of this it always feels a bit floppy. Thanks again for all of your videos, I've enjoyed every one.

excellent video

Nice review. I used the duplex lite this summer for two weeks. I was super happy with it.

As always another informative video. I never knew there was so much to consider 😂 I’ll be sure to revisit this when we decide to buy a tent ⛺️

I’m way behind, but wanted to tell you how much I admire you! You’re such a strong hiker and have such a great attitude! I’ve learned quite a bit from your videos, and I’m sure you have inspired others like you’ve inspired me! Thank you for sharing your journey!

Thanks

I really like hearing about your daily routine.... thanks

Beautiful video of your adventure through the Gila.

Great video!

I loved watching your journey, and I feel so lucky to be able to watch this gear review. I am literally in tears amazed at how intimidating, strong, knowledgeable, honest, genuine, and hardworking you are. You are inspirational, aspirational, and just amazing. I'm sure you know that already, but I gotta say it anyway... I'm pretty sure I missed my chance to do what you do, and you did it alone! When people came and went, you kept to the trail!! Flipped up when you needed to and kept going. Can I say I'm proud of you on behalf of women everywhere??? Maybe I'll get to sectioning parts of various thru hikes, but until then, I love your story!! And I feel close enough to your aura space having tested my own gear to actually understand what your opinions about your gear means... it's directly helpful. It's directly personal. You can't buy wisdom and guidance that you have and shared. So thank you, Kez... I'm a little emotional, yes, but what you accomplished was emotionally a lot, too. Just..so. wow!! ❤❤

Very thorough gear review Kez!

Love the kookaburra in the background 🙂

I’m a little late to the party. I only found your channel recently but have watched every CDT vlog. This is another great video that surprised me because it was over so quickly. I looked at the play time and couldn’t believe it was 30 minutes. Not a slow or boring spot from start to finish. You should have a million followers!! If you were to hike the CDT again is there anything you would add??

I may have typed this before, but as an older person still hiking (79) who's hearing is not as good as it was, I find your speech speed so easy to listen to. For me it's clear and I very much appreciate that you are not into 'umms and haas,' and using the word 'like' in every sentence. Were you a teacher in your previous life?

I too use Tyvek, a great material, I use mine like you do, and I use it when I fancy an afternoon nap. Your hiking sign is a good idea, I'd never thought of that one. I too have the pillow problem, but these days I fold a pillow case over my 'blow up' and stuff unused clothing inside. It improves my sleeping no end.

I always watched your videos in the morning, whilst having my first cup of tea of the day, and my bowl of muesli. The videos passed too quickly for me.

Thank you for sharing your gear review! Everyone misses your wonderful videos. It may be your personality-anyone could hike with you! Best of luck in any upcoming hikes. Please come back to the US to do more hikes!

Surely enjoyed following you on your journey. I wish and pray for you great success in your future!!

Your video with the moose buddies blocking the trail was great. You likely knew this but, It’s good that you kept your distance from the moose. They will freight train you if they feel threatened or worse stomp you to death sometimes. Yearly more people are injured by moose than bears.

Will miss you! You have such a wonderful attitude!!!! Was that the Kootnai river?

YOU DID IT 🎉 how do you rate poutine??

Geez Kez, I was having brekkie when...what the heck was going on with those chips ..came on😮 give a bloke some warning next time😅 What’s next ? The Te Araroa Trail? Happy trails wherever they lead.

Congratulations on your achievement. I must admit I do like hitch-hiking, have done it since the 1960s, and have never had a bad lift. Its such a useful skill to have when hiking.

Congratulations! Your journey was so enjoyable to watch. Loved your positive attitude. Wish I could do that! Such beautiful videos, I’m watching again!

What a great journey! Thank you for sharing it all with us!

Liked 👍 and subscribed , beautiful videos!!!

Thank you for sharing your Epic Sojourn!

Congratulations! You are ALWAYS welcome in the US anytime!! We love having you!!

Just caught up on your last several videos -- CONGRATULATIONS!!! After the (often) misery that was NM, I cannot applaud your fortitude enough - flip-flops, mosquitos, constant rain/thunder storms, lonely sections - congrats again for seeing it thru!! Truly an inspiration. Hot Mess and I may give it a go again some day :) - Thanks so much for the great videos - really enjoyed following along! - Butters

Congratulations!

Did it take a long time to get home? For me, that's the worst part of finishing a hike, the time it takes to back to where I live. I'm not keen these days about how long it takes to get to the beginning of a hike either. These days as an older hiker I've started to walk from airport to airport. I recently hiked from Geneva Airport to Lyon Airport, next spring my plan is to hike from Bordeaux to Toulouse Airport. All the very best to you.

great works!! wow wonderful video.Incredible hike and beautiful footage.Thank you for sharing this amazing video.Cheers 🥂 from Japan🐶💞💞😉👍

Amazing congratulations!
