Any gear I’m missing that should be on the list? Let us know! 👇🏼
Dan Becker you cant go wrong with a good rain suit. Could save your life one day.
Here's a few affordable but be very useful ideas: A map of the area. Some baby wipes. Solid sunscreen so you don't have to apply with dirty hands. Body glide. A hat.
A buddy is always a must for me. Nothing greater then sharing the experience with friends
You should try Kite making material. It is lighter than Tyvek but just as durable. Just don't get it near anything hot as it will melt. I discovered this while using a small piece for my cooking station and set my hot kettle down on it and it almost melted the material. Using it under my hammock is great.
What jacket are you wearing in this vid?
Dan,
I found myself completely distracted, while watching you in the video, with the pullstrings of you underlayer tucked in instead of out.
What a fashion faux pax!
Finally in desperation, I played the video thru my stereo speakers, taped my eyes closed with Tenacious Tape, and listened to the dialog only.
Instant success!
Thanks for posting, entertaining and informative as usual.
🤣🤣🙌
Best comment ever!
I carry all these items except the tenacious tape- I'm old school and have always carried duck tape. Might have to grab some tenacious tape next. The rest of the items go with me on day hikes, car camping, and backpacking. Love my Buff so much, we ordered them for our Scout troop for rewards for selling popcorn! We also give away water filters and medical kits to the youth for prizes throughout the year. As a previous paramedic, I carry the same kit as you but I added two maxi pads (awesome bleeding control, and good for women to be prepared) and a tourniquet (but only take a tourniquet if you have medical training yo use it). And my Helinox is always the envy of everyone at camp! Great video and I love the energy!
🦆 tape
I've worn my midweight merino wool Buff as a beanie in 0 degree weather and was just fine. Definitely recommend.
My buddy melted my sit pad 😫
15 years of friendship down the drain! #we’redone #noonemesseswithmysitpad
Great vid Dan!
Don't tell Darwin
RIP
This guy's got a kind of nervous energy and humor that's pretty charismatic. He's great :)
You are the man Dan⛺️. Can’t tell you how much it means to me as I start out to get the “right” things the first time. I know this will save me money in the long run and make camping fun, comfortable, and I can enjoy nature to its fullest. Of corse I’m still practicing in the backyard with my 2 1/2 year old for now.... Kat
Inexperienced thru-hiker here. Your videos are helping me a LOT. So smart, so practical. Thank you.
Thanks for the vid's Dan, thanks for the laughs, thanks for the inspiration! You're thoughtful content and quality has continued to get better and better over the last year. I'm glad to see you've been taking advantage of and enjoying some of my home state Michigan hikes too :)
I am so happy to say that I have all of these items! Whoop. That chair is the BEST.
I respect how you try to choose your words carefully. For example, not saying "You need this" but also saying "Hey maybe if you used this, you'd realize on your own that you need it."
It is super nice to have a chair with a back rest.
I always bring my REI chair with me kayak camping. Mine fits right behind the kayak skeg where very few other things fit.
Thanx Dan ... always enjoy watching and picking up a little knowledge!!
Thanks, Dan! Got it covered but had to order the buff from Amazon ($20). Mine is a synthetic material and I have to wash it after each trip as it gets pretty dirty and smelly. I did the wash thing on my tyvek and it's amazing how quiet it is vs the crinkly sound when initially used. One good use for my buff is a nice breathable mask during this awful pandemic. I suffocate in those N95 masks and I end doing that crazy thing of dropping it lower exposing my nose just so I can breathe...only if I'm not around other people.
That’s an Adventure Medical Kit .5 (“point 5” as in one-half) and it truly is all you need 99.99% of the time.
But what if you get a gunshot wound from a Grizzly bear? Then you'll be wishing you had that extra .01%!
What about accidental marijuana injections? Who dabs like that?!!
I love your videos! It doesn’t even matter what you’re talking about, you’re just that much fun to listen to.
🙌
You made a really good point about the water filter. I already have one, and I could totally take it car camping. I mean, why not throw it in? Some of the water sources can be sketchy--or shut off for some reason--and the water filter would give me some more options. Great advice!
I pack my water filter when I stay at my sister's house that has old PVC water pipes. It tastes better, and I get aches all over when I drink straight tap water at her house.
I love my flexlite chair, and even bought the underquilt for it. I'd add a small firekit as I always (read: always) have a campfire (eastern forests, and usually low fire danger.) Also, I switched to the sawyer squeeze because I got tired of my other squeezy filter from MSR either jamming or hard to use or whatever. Added the Cnoc gear water bag for the squeeze and I've got a lightweight, dependable water system.
Great choices that will make your adventures that much more comfortable. Great video once again!
Great video. Love the energy and the practical ideas. Thanks Dan!
Dan, I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. You have single handedly got me hooked back on hiking. You make great content and have great information. Thank you!
Wow, thanks!
I enjoy your videos very much. You present a lot of information that I can use and I love style. Although I'm not a backpacker, I'm a camper and spend a lot of time outdoors. Looking forward to binging your older videos for a few days.
Headlight. I never hit the woods without a light,ever!😎 but then again as a caver/spelunker . I could only hope to use it in a find, not just a way home at night if I'm out passed sundown.
Thank you so much for the straight forward info - appreciate it.
I rocked a REI stool for sometime while backpacking, but then I was at camp with some friends who had actually chairs with backs... Needless to say, I hopped on REI and grabbed one of their flexlite they had on sale. Now I only use my stool for day hikes, but if I'm backpacking, I don't leave home without my chair!
All these are a must. Maybe not the chair on a thru hike but I always take mine now.
Your videos are not only great information, but your always a joy to watch. Keep them coming😁
Ordered my UGQ quilt cant wait. Great video as always Dan!
That essential water filter. I grew up dipping water out of any old stream and never got sick, but watching the number of visitors and dogs on the trail these days means I filter that water. I also carry a 1 oz S2S bucket to haul water to camp and filter there, and the bucket works great for washing up away from the stream so sunscreen, bug juice, and such doesn't pollute.
I have the Helinox. Used my REI dividend so it was free. Love that thing. Had the REI one first but it was a pound heavier...
Ahh the chair. Only took one trip where I was the only one without one to not make that mistake again. Thanks for the great content!
Yeah, don't tell me what to do! 😁 Especially when I have all those necessities. Haha! Love your videos!
Yup, NEED the medical kit and water filter. And we should certainly CONSIDER the rest of your recommendations. The chair looks interesting. I would like to recommend the Cascade Hiking table which weighs a couple of ounces (63grams) to you. It keeps the important things out of the dirt and mud. Love your work and personality mate. That's some back yard you have there
Hello Dan, the answer man for all things outdoors. Thank you for sharing this informative video, good content. All the best to you you and your family. 🤗
Well done. The chair is a good idea.
Hey Dan, instead of a chair I chose a small hammock. Outdoor Vitals makes one that weighs 14 oz complete including suspension. I can sit or lay on it...my luxury item.
Same. Though I admit I don't usually carry it I have a sea to summit hammock complete with straps at 12 oz. Sadly I do believe it's discontinued
dude. I love my hammock chair. I love taking a nap on a Lunch break or getting to camp early. I might get a chair also. you can get closer to the fire with a chair.
Yeah but I'm 50\50 with the trees being available. I'm in Utah half desert half trees 😅
Amazing!!! I love this one!! Great collection of Arcterex gear too!!!!
Thankyou for your video I learn a great deal from them and will benefit from getting the right equipment the first time around.
Actually wearing a merino wool buff while watching this video. Totally agree!
I love The Office, big fan.
I want to see you hike thru Glacier National Park!! Talk about food and snacks for like a 7 day hike. Bear stuff- bags and spray
I’ve joined the chair life. Awesome vid bro! 🙌 Love the good vibes 😃
Good tip with making the tyvek soft. I agree with you about the Sawyer Filter. Best filter on the market. Cool video my friend
Right on
I get teased about my chair (until we get to camp) as well!
I still haven't used a chair for backpacking, but I did give one a try on the MRT last year from someone camping next to me. 👍
I use a simple 5 by 7 tarp from Walmart to lay out by my hammock it's going to hold up better than thin plastic and I can treat it to keep bugs away too
Polycro and Tyvek sheets were already on my "to-get" list. Hard to get Polycro here (unless you're prepared to buy bulk window film) and expensive to order either Polycro or Tyvek from the USA. Trying to find a builder willing to sell me a length of Tyvek building wrap because I've no desire to buy a whole roll.
Beginning of last winter I got 3 microfibre neck gaiters - a Buff and a couple of no-brand ones. Bloody awesome things, very versatile.
My camp chair's quite long, has a bug mesh attached to it and needs two trees to hold it up. Oh, and you can _sleep_ in it, too. BONUS!
Polycryo is sold as window shrink film here in the states under brands like Duck, 3M, Frost King. I see it on Amazon sold as generic as well. Currently a 7 feet x 10 feet piece is $4.36 US on Amazon for the Duck brand sold for sealing doors or very large windows. Perhaps you can find one of these or similar in New Zealand at big chain or local hardware stores?
Fun video, I also use the .5 med kit. I added some better items along the way as I deemed necessary.
Thanks I think I’m going to get this stuff💕
Dude! I NEED all of these!
I do love my REI Flexlite Air chair with one caveat - the feet sink too easily. Solution? four free caps from small plastic containers. At 3" or so diameter, they keep the feet from sinking, weigh nothing and fit in the chair bag. I suppose in a pinch the inside of my hiking shoes would work also for the back feet.
Great video, thanks for all your hard research and sharing this with a newbie. Haven't been camping since I was in the scouts, uh.....over 25 years ago. All your videos are really helpful and all the links you attached with what you use is awesome!
Thanks and glad to help!!
😂 😂 😂 I really enjoy your vids. You have an awesome sense of humor Dan! 😂
got *that* filter, and *that* first aid kit; got the Thermarest sit pad and the Helinox chair one
looks like I'm sorted.
Great vid! My #1 is my merino Buff but have to admit I have all and they are all great. Same deal with chair. Wonderful to have but if I am pushing weight, it stays behind and I rely on my butt pad and pack for a chair.
Loved it! Your awesome.
Good info espec about the repair tape
I’m thanking you already! Great content.
Got to get one of those chairs!
EXCELLENT vid, thank you.
I am exactly the same way when people say to me "You need to..." and it is usually followed by "read this book" or "watch this movie" or "buy/download this CD." For outdoor stuff, nah... I just redefined the statement as " If time permits, I might want to look into..."). Alternately, when I hear "You need to" I generally hear Charlie Brown's parents ... and to the best of my knowledge the patriarch and matriarch of the Brown family don't know f###-all about backpacking.
Dan, you rock! Thank you... for all the videos.
Sawyer squeeze at Wal-Mart...29.00 right now at the Wal-Mart in my town....may be more in your area.
Every once in awhile someone on Amazon will sell it for $20 and then other sites like Walmart auto price match it.
Nothing Dave Canterbury wouldn't let you in heaven for, except maybe the chair. Good video.
Great video! Pratctical advices ... Thank you Mr Becker!
Thänks Dan ... Thats a really good list! 🙏
I really like your videos Dan!
I LOVE my Helinox Chairs. They are expensive but holds 350lbs. I had my sunset chair and my smaller chair and worth the money. 4yrs and still good.
ground cloth protects from "needles?!" Where the heck are you camping... skid row in L.A? Ooooh, you mean "pine needles" perhaps.
Yep.. pine needles
I had the exact same thought.
Dan Becker
Needless needles?
Hahaha! Coming from San Bernardino I instantly thought of used meth/heroin needles then logic took over and thought of pine/fir needles. 😜
This hits different in Portland
I had a bear take a swipe at my tent in Northern Michigan, and having Tenacious Tape and my pole splint seriously saved the trip for me! My tent looked super ratchet but it made it through the next two days. And one other pro of Tyvek is that you can use it to make a hitchhiking sign if needed :)
Take the plastic seal out of your squeeze where the water goes into it and put a mesh thing that goes into sinks. It will keep big pieces of stuff out of your filter and it will last way longer.
Nicholas Stokes I do this. For anyone looking for the filter, it's called a hose filter washer. Camcorder makes a good one.
Neck gaiters are great for early spring golf games as well...
Love it!!
Knowing how to use that med kit is a big deal. Second the chair, been a real treat for the last year or so 👌
Severely recommend!
So, Ive got everything but the chair and the repair tape!! 🤔 Hope I can get that tape in Oz. Great Vid!
Tradies in OZ will call it 100 mph tape. Check out at Bunnings.
Fan - tas - tic !!!!!! Thanks for sharing your experiences on "help needed situations & its solutions". See ya, blue skies 🤙🚲🍻
Your great camera personality reminds me a lot of unbox therapy!
I prefer the Helinox Ground Chair. It doesn’t have the four skinny legs to dig into soft dirt, mud or sand like your “Chair Zero” has.
I’m not sure if it’s lighter than your chair or not, but it’s just as well-made (same brand) and can be found for under $100 if you’re a savvy shopper.
Good list mate cheers
100% agree with the chair.
Great vid man. Best I've seen since BDK , them boys are nuts! Anywho keep it up
Polycryo so your tent will slide nicely downhill. Tyvek for playing Superman.
Your joy is contagious.
I have decided I like this guy!!!
Dan -- you are funny, and a great help to all of us. LMAO on your click bait face today!!!
Thank you in advance for the tenacious tape tip :)
Good vid, thanks...actually now thinking of getting that chair...maybe I need it, sorry should have it 😂 very comfy though!
Just found your site, love your reviews, have subscribed keep up the good work
I don't use a water filter because I hike in the Scottish highlands, the water is really fast flowing so there's no debris and I just use silver tablets to clear any bacteria from it. water filters aren't a necessity if you have similar water sources
Thanks Dan, Regarding the Chair Found one on Amazon for around 30 -40 EUR the LAMA Camping Ultralight Folding Chair.
I have been wanting that chair for a while now..... perhaps this is my year to finally get it.
You’ve earned it! 🙌
@@DanBecker like everything else, I'm pretty sure my kids will just steal it.
Chair for sure!
I do NEED that chair though!
A flask 🤣 ...seriously great video!
I would of ad anything to start a fire 🙂
Saw a great tip from another backpacking youtuber - Buy a half-pint of alcohol in a plastic bottle, when it's empty use that bottle as a flask. It's lighter weight then most of the commercial flasks and it's prefilled (Same idea as the smart water bottles) You can always refill it with a better bourbon, rye, or single malt that isn't usually available in a plastic bottle. (or your poison of choice)
Outdoor Therapy
How do you “of ad”?
I got a chair from Walmart that packs into a little bag about the size of a 2 liter (maybe a little bigger) weighs about 3-4 pounds but only cost me 15$ CND. I love it, sure it's not an ultralight one but man I was surprised how small it packed down and the price, plus I couldn't afford a high-end chair.
Like your videos always learn something
I've got about 20 neck gators. I know them as face shields. I also have a few fleece lined ones. They're too thick to wear when exerting yourself in winter but if you're just standing around low activity they're great. All mine are from sa fishing.
I completely agree with all the items you mention. I already have all of them (maybe different brand) and the best one is definitely my Helinox chair. it may appear to be a luxury item, but i can promise anyone: it is NOT! at least for those who are on bike tours for several thousands of kilometers. then you don't count the grams you carry on your bike. (in fact you will quickly lose a few kilos of just body weight and that will more than compensate for the chair!)
One item I would add to the list: a headlamp.
I cut up my zpad and made a bunch of sit pads...I even threw a small one in my Helinox 2 High rise roll...;)
FIRST AID KIT: I imagine most of us are building our own, rather than using the full contents of a ready-made kit. In that scenario, I recommend buying a smaller, empty first aid bag via Amazon for a few dollars, then filling it accordingly. That brand with the yellow bags tends to be pretty pricey (the one in the vid is $19) considering you're mostly just paying for a bag into which you will put items you already have.
