Hi Nina, first time here. Hello from Sweden. We have similar topography as Canada :). I have been in the outdoors for many years and still there’s always something new to learn. Thank you for the interest no bs video. It’s a pleasure to your content, very down to earth and no filler 🫡
my kajka comes out for a months drag around scotlands mountains , an osprey would crumple at the very idea of it ( i have 2) kajkas are tough as the stuff i drag it over 😊 nice video i get a weeks suply of expedition foods (food packs )in the side pockets , mission ready
I'm really curious... realizing this is on a older post but.....when traveling and trekking do you find yourself to be brand name or product loyal...or do you shop around for your gear?
Awesome, those Fjallraven packs are amazing... Bear spray, wow can't imagine that to be calm enough to get the spray, here in UK though not so many, thank god. it was 2 years ago but I still played the guess the weight game and was so close.. I said 15 to 16 kg which in old money is in the 35.9lb region, you must be tough and strong with that weight but presume the backpack carries it well? Love your body art!!
Nice setup! You really know what your doing! Some of these tutorials are head scratchers! You know your way around a pack! Fjallraven make nice packs! If you like that style of pack check out karrimor sf 45 or even their 75 liter. Quality and comfort! Stay safe! Hike on!
Thanks for the tip on the Peak Design Capture Camera Clip! Never heard of it but it seems to be just what I am looking for to click the camera on to my Kajka. Do you fasten it on the padded shoulder strap on your Kajka, or on the smaller on on top of the padded one? Would be great if you could post a picture when the camera clip is mounted on the Kajka. :)
Great packing video… I struggle with this every time I go on overnight hikes. My guess for the weight based on what I saw you add in and what my backpack weights on an overnight trip, would be 34.6 lbs.
1st video and I will "sub" solely because you have awesome taste in backpacks. I have 52 and 75L Fjallraven. They are my most comfortable loadout gear.
Great breakdown! I just ordered this backpack and your video helped that decision! Suggestion for your bear spray, I just got a Hykr chest harness for the bear spray, it works awesome, keeps the bear spray from flopping around, is easily accessible and it stays on you when you take your bag off to go squat in the bush 😆. Canadian made too! Cheers from Golden, hope all is well on the coast 👍
Hi Nina, do you have idea of how comfortable this pack is compared to some ultralight options in the market? I’ve been researching about backpacking backpacks recently, trying to decide which one to buy. I saw this pack looks very cute but it’s 6lbs so that kinda worry me. Any suggestions? Thank you!
You should host a beginners backpacking trip with subscribers from Vancouver :) My wife and I would love to join you ! Great videos, pretty cool to see how many beautiful overnight trips we got around here. We've done most medium / hard hikes in lower mainland and Okanagan already, but never backpacked
Hi ! What colour is this Kajka? They only have the light blue and black online can't seem to find this dark blue color the same one that you have Nina 😔
Hello, thanks for this. I'm in Scotland and looking to do some more outdoors stuff this year. I'm curious of your thoughts about the water filter you briefly showed. How does it work for you? The link didn't work for me as I'm outside the US and Canada. Can you tell me the model? Cheers.
Hey Andrew! Glad you liked the video. The water filter I use is by Katadyn. Have you seen my video about all my gear? I go into more detail on that one
@@NinaDefilla Thanks a lot, there are so many vids to choose from these days. I've actually gone with a hybrid system to get the best of both worlds. I've ordered a Sawyer squeeze filter, and a CNOC water bag. I like the idea of the Sawyer filter, but not their pathetic squeeze bags. The CNOC bag has a massive opening and a 28mm threaded cap on the bottom. Here in Scotland though, those types of filters are useless if below freezing and MSR makes one that is good in that type of weather, but ouch, the cost ...
I’m sorry for the late reply here! I usually like to have two pairs of socks a day, and one pair that I sleep in each night. So…maybe 6 or 7 for a 3 day trek? Depends on how long the trek is, and what the weather is like. Sometimes I’ll only bring one pair of socks a day
@@NinaDefilla no worries, thanks for the reply. I’m gonna go with a 38L, I know it’s probably too small but I think I just need to figure that out by myself 😂
Informative. I've been putting the heavy stuff at the bottom of my packs, and that definitely starts to weight down after a while. Question; Do you usually carry a secondary bag with camera gear? Tripod or other lenses/filters? Or do you usually carry your camera with a single lens on backpacking trips?
Thanks Fadi! I usually just bring my camera and a single lens. I use the Peak Design camera clip to Cary it on the outside of my bag if the weather is nice. If I carried a tripod, I would most likely have it in one of the side pockets.
Nice video! Is this the womens fit backpack? Do you also have a fjallraven mens fitting backpack? If so could you comment on the fit differences between the two that you notice. Trying to decide which would fit better. Much appreciated!
Not a bad idea eh…I’d be down…hell I might even fly out to do it…I’m going this weekend in Algonquin park…which is beautiful and in Ontario…if ya haven’t heard of it check it out!! 🤙🏽
Clothes either go in the middle or near the top because they are lighter. I usually bring a rain jacket just in case and something to keep me warm, depending on the weather
Hi Nina, I live in Vancouver too....just found out about your channel.....do you know the Hikes at Deep Cove? Any day youre free and wants to hangout, just let us know! That would be super cool to get some advices with a Pro! 🚵....love this city, and the way people like you make it feels better! wish the best, see ya!
Did YOU win the backpack?! 🦊🎒🤍
Yay it’s me!! :D Thank you Nina!
@@skibbeable you are so lucky lol
Great video Nina! I love your confidence. You show your Swiss roots 🇨🇭👍❤️
Thanks Dad! I love my Swiss roots 🇨🇭❤️

Thank you so much! I would love to visit Sweden someday
@@NinaDefilla you are welcome to do so. There many amazing places to see here.
Leve Sverige. Vem är du ❤❤
Gracias Nina por tu tiempo con el video y también la descripción tan detallada, un beso !
🐻
I'm going to have to try putting my tent at the top of my pack instead of the outside at the bottom - great tip!
As soon as I learned about that, it’s the only place I’ll put it! As long as there’s room of course 🙂
You've got some great looking kit there and the camera is great quality. Subscribed!
Thanks for joining me here! I apologise for the late reply ❤️
Great job Nina! So proud of you ❤️😍😎
Thanks Mom! ❤️

If you don't mind me asking do you have any tips for expedition foods? I've been living on pot noodles 😞

Another informative and high quality video! Your content is always the best. Thank you!
Thank you for the video! 😊 It's always interesting to see what/how other hikers pack. Greetings from Finland!
Thanks for watching!

Yes!! Let’s goooo 😍

Sorry for the late reply here! 😅 I’ll have to check out that chest harness

Omg I’m so sorry for the late reply here 😅 this pack is super comfy. Not sure about the other ones on the market though

That’s a cool idea! I’ll let you know if I can make it happen
I think the backpack will weigh somewhere in the 30 - 35 lbs range since it didn't seem like super heavy gear was packed.
You nailed it!
I’m assuming you keep the bottom divider open?
It depends on what else i’m packing in there. I think normally I have it closed
Great video! Just found your channel. Nice information. Great giveaway! Congrats to the winner. New follower here. Crow✌️
That backpack is amazing!!!
Such a great design and well organized! I think I need one lol
I love it so much! Great for longer trips
Good video, very well explained and didactic. When you can travel after my vaccination I will put it into practice.
Thanks Jesus! I’m happy that you liked it 🥰
Great video!! Thank you 😀
Thanks Delvio! So glad you liked it 🙂
Where do you put all your camera gear?
My camera is usually clipped to the outside of my pack if it’s not raining. Everything else goes inside
Great content will be watching more 👍
Thanks so much Graham! 🙂
Great video! Keep up the great content 👏🏻
Thanks so much Orlando 🙂
Nina is the BEST!!! 🥰🤗 Thank you for taking the time to make this video! Exactly what I needed! Lets go backpacking!😃😃😃🥰
So stoked you like the video! 🥰

This is useful, thanks. Fjall is my fav.
Mine too! Sorry for the late reply here 😬
What size is the bear Spray
Love you boss babe!
Thanks Wendy 🥰🥰
Great video , thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi ! What colour is this Kajka? They only have the light blue and black online can't seem to find this dark blue color the same one that you have Nina 😔
This one is a dark grey. Kind of looks blue in the right light
@@NinaDefilla Graphite is the name of the colorway.

hello im from BC new west i just bought the same pack the 65L how do you like it
Nice. I love this pack for my multi night trips!
Would this pack be good fot tour du la blanc
Okay, so waiting on the new video. Hopefully you are still enjoying life. Stay with it.
Hey! Sorry about the late reply here. I still need to edit my next vlog, fell behind a bit. It’s coming though ☺️
Hi, what backpack size do you recommend for a one overnight hike?
My pack for a one night overnight trip is 52L. I started out with a 35L pack, and that was too small. Hope this helps! Sorry for the late reply too ❤️
@@NinaDefilla no worries, thanks for the reply. I’m gonna go with a 38L, I know it’s probably too small but I think I just need to figure that out by myself 😂

Lol! I would love to host a group hike eventually 🤔

Do you live in a garage??
Epic.
Haha it used to be my room, yes. Now it’s the living room/office/gear room
Where are the clothes? You only put one jacket?
Clothes either go in the middle or near the top because they are lighter. I usually bring a rain jacket just in case and something to keep me warm, depending on the weather
