I agree completely with your reason for not taking all the extras. More minimalist setups make it super quick to pack up and head back on trail first thing.
Ooh! Gadgets! 🤩. Actually really like the treking poles with the lights in them. We have tents were a trekking pole is used instead of a tent pole, so this would provide light in the tent too👌. Favourite item has to be the tiny hammock for Mike though 😂😂🙌. Always a pleasure to see you guys out having a good time, and the doggos came too this time 🐶😊. Great idea for a video, enjoyed and liked as ever. Have a great weekend, Shell and Pete 😊👊👍
That head net and the thermacell could be very handy for trails that may go through some marshy areas. I have seen videos of the, AT, the PCT, and the CDT and there are some mosquitoes that are bad in some areas. I'd be glad to have them. Cool. Looking forward to the rest of the video. Lol
Those 2 items definitely have their place. If the mosquitos are nasty, you would never regret the small amount of extra weight. I'm lucky to be in a place where they never get "Northern Minnesota" bad. Lol
LOL that was great. And yes, I love easy hiking to get to a campsite. Nothing better than seeing you and Mikey out there. Are you maybe going to make it to the gorge?
Nice video. I was thinking of doing something similar. Bring neglected gear that got side graded along the way. Mostly different pieces to the cook system. I kind of miss bringing the UCO Mini Candle Lantern too. A nice little flame is comforting when I can't build fires.
People have vastly different ideas of what "backpacking" is. In my own life, what (how much) I carry is directly tied to the ratio of how much walking I intend to do vs. How much relaxing I intend to do. My first hike since my knee was replaced in late April is scheduled for some time in August. I only plan on walking a couple of miles over a low hill to a lake which has good campsites. I will need bug protection, a stove (no fires allowed), a water filter, and my hammock. A microfiber towel and a bathing suit are necessary items. I could bring a bunch of extra things for entertainment and comfort, but hammock, tarp, walk-in hammock bug net, plus insulation for 50 degree weather is all I need. There will likely be other hikers there (the Appalachian Trail is close by), so I will have company. The older I get, the more appeal simplicity has. Wherever there are trees, for me, that means hammocking. Btw, I believe that my Hummingbird Hammock Single hammock (full size) weighs less than your friend's tiny hammock. I have over 1,000 trail miles on mine, and my 200+ pounds haven't seemed to have worn it much at all. With the additional whoopie slings, I think that the setup minus bug netting and insulation weighs less than 8 ounces. Note: I prefer the extra room of the solo plus, especially in warm weather, because it doesn't wrap around me as tightly, allowing more cooling airflow.
I kinda miss the drone shots myself. I wish I could get a refund on all the junk I bought that I thought I Was going to use. lol Thanks for the video brother
My twig stove was pretty useless on my Appalachian Trail thruhike attempt last year. I carried it about 500 miles and might have used it half a dozen times. In retrospect, completely useless.
I retract my previous statement about hammocks, I apologize whole heartedly. Those backpacking frisbees are legit, definitely coming with me on my next big thru.
I appreciate the concern my friend but in all honesty I don't really care about the regulations. I rarely fly the thing, I will stand to make between 2 and 3 dollars on this video, and when I do fly it I am in the middle of nowhere. Respectfully, I'm far less of a nuisance than the constant sounds of helicopters in the hills. If they want to crack down on a fella like me, then we really need to reevaluate out priorities.

I like it simple but the porch lights were cool I have to admit.
Awesome, lots of that gear looks pretty cool. Good stuff for luxury camping but not so much for ultra lite hiking.
Indeed. Thanks for the idea Boop!

The trekking pokes were neat for sure! It's fun to play around with different gear. Thanks as always mu friends!
What a nice guy bringing comfort & protection for his doggies! Thanks for the video. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub! Mike loves his dogs!
Man, that looks peaceful. I love the tiny hammock for Mike. Keep it up man.
Good to see you all having fun! Looks like Mike might have found a hammock set up minimal enough for him lol. Enjoy the rest of your week!
Thanks Tonya. Mike slept like a baby. 😀
I completely understand not wanting to have a crap load of stuff to pack up.
One or two extra items is no big deal but they do really add up!

I really hope to make the gorge but it's unlikely unless we move before our season ends in the Badlands. I miss you guys (and the Gorge) so much!!
Dude I actually love my lumin aid lamp! Great video idea man!
It's so cool!!
I feel like I need fairy lights in my life, a great bit of extras you have there, kinda missed the titanium shovel.
It's nice when there aren't any fired allowed to have some ambience.
Nice video. I was thinking of doing something similar. Bring neglected gear that got side graded along the way. Mostly different pieces to the cook system. I kind of miss bringing the UCO Mini Candle Lantern too. A nice little flame is comforting when I can't build fires.
Those UCO lanterns are nice. Good for ambiance. I should grab one next time I buy something like that!
Lots of cool gadgets and gear. I can see why you don't pack all of them on a regular basis, though. A couple seem to be nice additions.
One could easily get overloaded with gadgets. Fun, but not practical.
great job Timmy love the music too bad it was so cold when i was up in the hills of black. I will return!
Thanks bud!
Thought for sure you would’ve captured Bigfoot on the Drone.
I think there was one in the shot, it was just invisible. Lol

I like the shots, hate the flying. Lol
I bring a candle lantern when they have fire bans. Never used my twig stove other than to hold the alcohol stove. Lol
Haha. I have a twig stove too. Just too much soot for me.

@@danielkutcher5704 good concept though. I just wish it was a little more practical
I retract my previous statement about hammocks, I apologize whole heartedly. Those backpacking frisbees are legit, definitely coming with me on my next big thru.
No need for retraction, bud. There's a place for both shelters in this world!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley naw man, after seeing the hammock in this video it is clear hammocking is the way, thank you for opening my eyes 😂
Fun video
Appreciate that!
I do have a grail but have never used it was a gift I've never carried trekking poles but have a trekking pole tent now so...
The Grayl tasted better but it's a pain in the ass.
How does the Tread Lightly make you legal? Isnt drone flight covered by the FAA and needing a part 107B license, esp to monetize a video?
I don't believe that's the case if your drone is under 250 grams. I appreciate your concern!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley Ypu dont have to register a drone under 249 grams, you should re look at the regs

I followed BOOBER up 52 a couple of weeks ago!
Oh yeah? He's a helluva guy!
