Great video, especially the layering tips. I would recommend this video to anyone getting into winter hiking. Some other recommendations if I may:
- Eddie Bauer has merino base layers on sale
- I believe Jonathan meant he doesn’t recommend a puffy less than 650fill, not 350
- Oboz Bridger is a great insulated boot but has a traditional/ narrow toe box. Merrell Moab Speed Thermo Mid offers more splay
- Back up water. Besides 2x insulated bottles outside your pack, carry another inside your pack. I like a bigger 2L insulated bottle. Also don’t rely on finding unfrozen water to filter. Have a way to boil more
- Med Kit. In WFA class I learned to keep extra electrolytes in my med kit in case you use up your supply or encounter another hiker in need. Bonking in winter can turn into a life/ death situation
- Battery Banks. Keep ‘em warm and dry
- Highly recommend a SAT messenger or PLB
- Sit Pads are easily overlooked. Besides a small seat version, a full sized closed cell or even a high R-rated inflatable pad would increase your chances of survival during an emergency
Packs- At least 30L. Molle webbing on the front is a bonus in case snowshoes need to be strapped up and carried. Osprey Kyte (f) and Osprey Kestrel (m)
Be safe, be prepared, enjoy the winter season everyone🥾🏔️❄️
Great extra tips! I have pinned your comment so that people can see this. Only had so much time to put stuff in a video.
Love the updated version
The mountaineer In Keene is also a great store to buy everything
Ya I used to go there to get patches
I used to go hiking when living in Buffalo, I moved to Houston 2 years ago and I miss going to the Adirondacks. I am seriously considering on returning, and hiking in the Adirondacks is a big reason.
Great video Hannibal NY here 62 years young hike tug Hill area been on top of whiteface many years ago in car be safe kid.
Dude I even like watching you sell me stuff…. You’ve got a great presence…thorough and entertaining.. and sincere
Jonathan, would love a vid on backcountry ski setups for the HP. Thanks for sharing.
This is actually coming this winter!
Great video!
So glad you are back!!!
Awesome video glad you're back!
Great point on gear selection, but the most important point you made was know the summit weather! Great channel.
Excellent video - thank you for creating this resource.
Excellent gear list. I've been slowly adding to my winter gear to attempt some winter High Peaks. Thanks!
I was hoping for this exact video - brought down some gear Thursday but it was so warm I didn't get to try anything out. Thanks for the video. I bought the Hiilsound gaiters based on a previous video. Will have to stop by the store next time I am down. Cheers!
Good info 🤙🏽
Lowa Renegade are my absolute favorite hiking boots.
When I’m hiking I prefer a polyester spandex blend for a base layer they seem to dry a lot faster then merino. 90% of the time I’m winter hiking below tree line I’m just wearing a base layer and rain gear. Every on is a little different so the key is figuring out what works best for you.
Base layers are usually either wool or polyester; polyester does dry faster, but it hangs onto odors and it stinks after use. Wool dries a little slower, but it tends not to smell.
Fantastic information, thank you! Buuuut, it was hard to understand much of what you said because you talk so fast. Your information is potentially life saving and I would hate to miss, or have anyone else miss, crucial information.
Great video
Can you give me link to those gaiters that you are using
You think they are better than Black Diamond Apex gaiters?
Wait you can get fined for not having snow shoes?
Do you have a recommendation for an alternative to boots while hiking in high snow? Boots hurt my Achilles and i exclusively wear trail runners. I change out of wet socks and shoes once returning to my car, but generally stay warm with wet feet until then thru exertion.
Check out the La Sportiva Blizzard GTX! It is an awesome winter trail running shoe. I would still totally recommend wearing gaiters with them. Keep in mind they’re not insulated, but they can handle below freezing temperatures.
@@JonathanZaharek Thanks for the rec! I'll check them out
@@jaymountain5607 also may want to check out the Arcteryx AERIOS NIVALIS GTX SHOE
Hoka Anacapa Gore Tex
Those micro spikes you recommended are not on your website. How do we find them?
I don’t have a gear website. You’ll have to just search them on Google or go to a local retailer
@@JonathanZaharek Oh sorry. I clicked the link in the description and assumed. I found them on REI. Thanks!
I can’t afford this shi
Eddie Bauer has a a lot of really great entry level winter gear at a great price!
You do take a hit financially the first year, but if you take care of your gear it’ll last a long time. Before you know it all you’ll need to spend $ on is food and gas
