    A second pillow under your side is brilliant. I might try that since I always get shoulder pain sleeping on my side camping. I have always said I'd rather carry a 21-lb pack and sleep well than a 20-lb pack and sleep badly.

    Should have noted you get a lifetime replacement guarantee with the Darn Tough socks! So well worth the money. No brainer.

    • @JCintheBCC

    I bought a foam drawer liner at Walmart with an open weave for 4 dollars 24 inches by 6 feet. Keeps my mats from moving. Weighs 2 oz. And rolls up smaller than a collapsible trekking pole.

    Videos are getting more and more entertaining. No denying that. Thanks for another brief video breaking down some practical perspectives, Dan.

  • @memathews
    @memathews 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    These suggestions enhance any trip. Solid advice, Dan.
    Newbies should view this video before their first overnight hike to greatly increase their fun.
    Other than the specific pillow, I'm an inflatable-on-top-of-boots type, these items even stay in my day pack because they are so useful in an unexpected situation.

  • @scottwarr8623
    @scottwarr8623 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Couldn’t agree more about the Thermarest pillow! Changed my life! I’ve tried all the other common items, air pillow, clothes bag, etc. this is my luxury must have.

    • @MarissaCollison
      @MarissaCollison 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I always try to go light and just use the jackets/shirts/etc. I packed. 😒 no bueno. Can't sleep and a kink in my neck. Inflatable pillow is a no brainer.

  • @dantran3628
    @dantran3628 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That's for the pillow recommend, I used it a few times at home the first time you brought it out. It's pretty great! :D

  • @markmessick8691
    @markmessick8691 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Dan, I agree with you about the Thermarest pillow. Definite game changer! I got so tired of inflatable pillows. No matter how much air I let out of it, it still felt hard. I sleep much better with the compressible pillow.

  • @hunyacka42
    @hunyacka42 3 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @JuanMoreFish
    @JuanMoreFish 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Awesome video!.. on of my favorites you've done! I've bought quite a bit of gear from Gossamer Gear. One good thing about the fact that they keep out of stock products on the site is that you can enter your email and get a notification when it is back in stock. They usually get stuff back in stock quickly. I tend to be more forgiving of "supply chain" issues when it comes to small cottage companies. They tend no to have the buying capacity and clout that big box stores have with suppliers. I'll wait to buy if it's something that I really want.

  • @seanymodizzle4785
    @seanymodizzle4785 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great list, Dan! Another pillow option that I really like is the Trekology Aluft Deluxe Air Pillow (6 oz and ~$15 on Amazon). It’s a more traditional shape and size vs their standard ultralight air pillow that I know you also like, and has a comfortable cover on it. Like you, I bring two when I backpack and sleep very well. Having one of those and one of the Thermarest pillows might make a great combo.

  • @brianpierce7114
    @brianpierce7114 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've been using that pillow for years, absolutely a must. The sawyer has been great for me, mostly I'm filtering clear water though

    I once tried my feather pillow from home on a car camp trip. Awesome.
    Returning home it got wedged into a tiny gap and compressed so small i decided to try it in a compression sack . Its my goto pillow for (compact kit) motorcycle touring).
    Yes
    I have lots of different pillows. You could even try and make 1 or 2 small pillows to save weight and packsize !

  • @themightiness
    @themightiness 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I use a thermarest compressible pillow too! It's amazing for sure.
    Also, if you bring water purification tablets with you, make sure you check the expiration date! They also don't last as long after you popped the seal. I tried to use some a couple years later - it did not purify the water like the last time I used it and we ended up having to boil water over a fire instead. Took forever using a mess kit bowl.

  • @larryterry7874
    @larryterry7874 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I started backpacking 2 years ago and had a amazing idea sleep with the gear I use like my sleeping mat & pillow for a few weeks on the floor to get used to the sounds and the fell of my gear at home before I take them out far away from home and have a horrible sleep when out camping
    This also helped me with hammock camping and use of a pillow when sleeping in the hammock

    • @jamesmoore5263
      @jamesmoore5263 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I do that too! It helps a lot! I also sleep outside in my tent a weekend or 2 before so I can be ready for the weather!

    • @larryterry7874
      @larryterry7874 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @KevinFryAdventures
    @KevinFryAdventures 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great recommendations Dan! The Sawyer Mini sucks! It was my first filter. Totally agree with Darn Tough socks!! Guaranteed for life & made in the USA!

  • @ddff5242
    @ddff5242 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just fyi on the sawyer filter. You can backwash it to unclog it. But even unclogged the sawyer micro has a bad flow rate. The regular size sawyer however, is awesome...

    Don’t forget that with the Thermarest pillow (had mine since ‘92) there is a pocket/sleeve into which you can add a folded jumper or a couple of t-shirts to add more comfort.

  • @bergfrey9574

    my best tipp, bring a cheap pillowcase an put your downjacket or fleec in and you have a perfect pillow. Better and cheaper than any airpillow

  • @Flockingtheherd
    @Flockingtheherd 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You might like an infinity loop pillow, kinda expensive but great for trips and I guess you potentially tie it in a knot and it’s smaller than that pillow, and far more durable.

    That foam sleep pad will also help your inflatable pad from squeaking when you move. Whenever I move my pad rubs against the floor of my tent and makes a noisy and annoying rubbing sound like rubbing two balloons together. This should solve that!

  • @67L48

    Darn Tough socks for the win. Did a experiment with mine. Took a pair of Darn Tough and a pair of my synthetic socks from Wal Mart. Wore each pair for 4 straight days. Lets just just say the synthetic needed to be left in garage to be washed as they were funky. Darn Tough was pretty odorless. On top of warmth. Cooling. Wicking. The fact the dont funk up like synthetic.

    Good callout on the Gossamer Gear pad! I finally picked one up after seeing it in one of your previous videos, and now I can finally ditch my big ole foam pad. Call it paranoia but I always worry about my sleeping pad popping so this is a great lighter weight option to keep my mind at ease. Also, when are we getting a video about the camera gear you use for your youtube channel?

    • @DanBecker
      @DanBecker  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My Sawyer Mini clogged with the first liter of clear mountain lake water, POS! Really intrigued by the Gossamer Gear pad. I would like one cut to fit the inside of my tent. I would pay for an oversized piece so I could custom fit it to my tent. I like the inside of my tent to be plush like the Maharaja’s.

    You have a doppelgänger on TH-cam that does bow reviews- Brandon McDonald. When I first watched your videos I thought you guys were the same and you just didn’t want to trigger anyone by talking about bows and hunting. Look him up if you want to find your twin.

    Darn Tough socks are the best socks. I wear them basically every day. Hard to beat their warranty too. By that I mean you can’t beat it.

    +1 for the Thermarest compressible pillow. I have several inflatable pillows, have tried that old trick of using clothes as a pillow, and the Thermarest is by far the best choice. Sure it is a wee bit heavier and takes up a little more room than, say, an inflatable, but why save a few ounces if you’re recharge/sleep time is compromised by an uncomfortable or noisy pillow?

    I have one of those pillows. It was great for about a year, then the filling started migrating to the sides while I slept. After a couple hours my head would end up about 2” off the ground and I’d keep waking up every couple hours to fluff it up.
    I’ve gone to inflatable for the consistent height. If I’m not worried about weight, I’ll take both and put the Thermarest on top of the inflatable.

      I’ve had one for about a year and have loved it. It’s very much a luxury item but worth it for a good night sleep.

      I have been considering it. How small does it pack down? What rating out of 10 would you give it?

      @@nk6197 Packs down to 25 cm long, 10 cm diameter cylinder, or 10" long by 4.5" diameter. 10 out of 10 rating. Those inflatable pillows are all miserable. If I wanted to sleep on balloons I'd join the circus.
