    Gear videos are my favorite. I have not tried light AF, but took some notes and a few things I need.

    9:26 You won't need that in sections ABC. Waters a plenty.
    Nights are very very cold, and you're not even in the Sierra's.
    What they call the deserts are not really deserts but high altitude rocky flatlands(chaparrel)
    Get to 40,30 and 20's at night. Means lots of moisture and condensation.
    Keep an eye out for camping outfitters at the local townspots.
    You will be upgrading to a proper double wall eventually.
    Condensation, morning packing wet stuff(heavy), and then stopping to dry in sun for an hour can get old, quick.
    Good luck. Hammer.

    Great gear list! I’m taking notes. I hope you’ll do a post hike gear video 😊

    Good luck on the journey! I don't want to jinx it but I can't wait to see how your new gear fares on the trip; I've always had cruddy luck adding new stuff at the last min.

    I always think that as well, when I see all those tips from trekking poles that are totally gone... What an earth have you been doing 😅
    I am really rough on my poles but after years still no tips that are gone.

    Looks like a pretty good loadout. Curious on the decision for the hyperlite. In my experience the shoulder straps are too thin, and a floating hip belt transfers weight so, so much better while making you much more maneuverable. Good luck on your hike! Also the alpha direct is actually really nice under your sunshirt for the mornings/ evenings

    • @hammwise_gamgee
      @hammwise_gamgee  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I carried a Hyperlite for the majority of the AT and it always served me well, so I guess I have a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mindset. I'm sure there are other packs out there that I would find more comfortable, but it's tough for me to make that leap of faith considering the high cost of most of these packs. I also love how insanely durable they are; some of the other dyneema packs I've used have not held up in the same way. Thanks for the sunshirt/senchi tip!

    Awesome gear selection,hopefully it all does well for ya. Looking forward to the videos. I may have missed something somewhere but is Lil Chap gonna be hiking with ya? Seen his recent videos. Just wondering..

    • @hammwise_gamgee
      @hammwise_gamgee  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Lil Chap and his hiking partner, Roadrunner, are starting close to the same time as me. I'm thinking we'll run into each other fairly early on, so I'm sure we'll get some hiking in together!

    Awesome video, thanks for your work. Im heading to the AT in April so this was a really nice video for me as im dialing in the final touches of my gear. I do have a random question; what pieces of gear from your experience are you not allowed to fly with(fuel canisters, fluids over a certain oz., etc)?

    • @hammwise_gamgee
      @hammwise_gamgee  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I know that trekking poles, tent stakes, pocket knives, other sharp things have to be in a checked bag. Power banks and electronics have to be carried on. Stoves are apparently up to the discretion of the airline, so I'd check with your airline on that. And fuel canisters, bear spray, other pressurized items are not allowed on the plane at all. For the PCT, I am checking my entire gear setup in an IKEA Frakta duffel bag ($15 on amazon). Everything except for fuel, that is.

    • @jogai5914
      @jogai5914 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you so much for your response. I think I will pick up one of those ikea duffel bags as well! Enjoy the PCT, safe travels @@hammwise_gamgee ⚔

    100% with you on the arbitrary nonsense of a base weight, makes no difference to your back when that's never what you're carrying. People out counting grams on their gear but ignoring sugar grams in their food and fat on their bellys.

    What’s your start date? May 1st for me!

    • @hammwise_gamgee
      @hammwise_gamgee  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Awesome, let's get it!! I don't like to put my exact start date out there publicly, but I'll say it's around 1 month before yours.

  • @jeffdavidson9231
    @jeffdavidson9231 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    And I believe Frozen from Outdoor Adventures is starting around the same time as you too.. if you’re familiar with him.🤷🏻‍♂️

    • @hammwise_gamgee

      I heard that! He's been a big inspiration to me over the years, so I am hoping to run into him as well

      I can't put the exact date out there publicly for different reasons; I can just say it's early April. Coming up very soon
