Great advice. Been running for a while but sorts new to longer trail runs. Thanks for the tips, especially emergency items!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video:) so far I'm not into trail running but... after this video, I'm serious about doin it! Love your videos, fully packed with specific stuff.
Thanks! Time to get out there!
Three cheers for the cooler. The best thing I ever drank in my whole life was a store-brand cola that came out my friend's cooler after three hot and exceedingly arduous days in an undeveloped section of Zion National Park. I'll have to check out that filter you mention. The thru-hikers usually go for a Sawyer squeeze, but the one you use looks like it might be be better for runners. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
I use to use the Sawyer Mini/Squeeze but the Katadyn's flow rate is SO much better. The sawyer products drip like a coffee machine. The Katadyn BeFree blasts out like a hose making re-filling much quicker. I think Sawyers might last a bit longer due to this though. The Car Cooler is a must! That Zion trip sounds like an adventure.
Bell activated! You're always bringing good content man. Keep it up🙏
Thanks so much!
Love your videos! Would like to see a video comparing different running shirts, shorts and socks if possible :)
Great idea! Thanks for the feedback.
Really enjoying ur channel... Thanks for the great content.
Thanks for watching!
Greatings from Italy,this is a very interesting video,thanks a lot
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Would like to see more content actually on trail using this stuff.
Great video! All good suggestions for trail running!
Thanks!
Another great video. This was very helpful 👍
Glad you thought so!
The Wapack hat is pretty dope. We also have a lot of those oversized figs bars they are great!
My faaaavorite hat... except for the CTS ones of course. Those figs are the best!
One think I’ve notived right away watching Your watch reviews is that You’re rocking some awsome hats so I was going to ask but first I’ve tried to find it in Your vids and here it is👌🏻
Thanks! Yup! They're availabe at store.chasethesummit.com
@@ChaseTheSummit thanks for reply gotta go there right away👌🏻
This is great info. Love it
Thanks!
Great video, very useful information
Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed this. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’d be curious to see an updated version of what you take now? This is very different from what you hiked with on Crawford haha
Great video bro I am so ready to do my first 25k trail run
Great video Dave! I see you use the 12 liter vest. Do you feel the 12 is really the way to go, or would the 8 work for you,? Also, those fig bars are money!! I enjoy all of their flavors. They sit really well both in the vest as well as the stomach. Thanks for sharing.
I own the 5 and the 12. For bigger days I wear the 12 because it allows flexibility with additional layers and items. For days when I don't need so much I wear the 5. I suppose the 8 is probably a nice middle ground but I haven't had the chance to try it. I typically just reach for the 12 because it has more pockets up front and doesn't weigh much more than the 5. Thanks for watching!
love them FIG bars! when the wife brings them home I usually have to stop myself from eating the whole BOX!!!
Haha! I didn't think anyone would pick up on those bars but so many comments have! I'm a fan. I dont care if their target demographic are 7 year olds 🤣
Those bars are fantastic. Wife got them for me once and when they were gone I asked her to pick up some more and she got fig newtons. Don’t get me wrong FN are good, but those are so much better.
Good video. Question: how heavy does the vest get? I am assuming you prefer water bottles than a water bladder. As always, great content.
On a "heavy" fully loaded day I think it's around 7 or 8 pounds. I like bottles because I can even out the weight of the vest by putting water in front/back which results in less bounce. I also find it easier to visually check how much I have left if I need to start rationing. Occasionally I use a bladder if the situation seems right for it. Thanks for watching!
You should check out Salomons xa filter. Same premise as the katadyn but works with all your Salomon soft flasks. $36 dollars, works great!
I have seen those! Seems very similar to the BeFree. I've been using the BeFree since it came out because it's so reliable and fast but it would be nice to not even have to worry about filtering and just scoop my bottles in the water. Then again, I'd still need seperate caps if I wanted to use electrolyte mix. Thanks for watching!
Great video
Thanks!
Hi Dave, great video thank you! About the Patagonia Houdini jacket: Do you ever wear it for running or just in emergency situations? There is also the Houdini Air jacket.. difficult to decide:)!
I love the houdini! I've worn it plenty of times running. Actually finished the last 12 or so hours in a 100 miler wearing one because it got cold at night. It's nice as a wind shell if you're in the mountains on a windy day. Just as long as it's not too hot out because it can get a little steamy inside. Thanks for watching!
I think you should try the T8 Sherpa Shorts, IMO the best Ultra trail Shorts and the last one you'd buy. I'm also an Altra and Coros hardcore fan bro.
I'll have to check those out! Thanks!
Another excellent video Dave! What brand is the tripod for your osmo? I have an osmo & am after a short tripod/selfie stick but don't want to pay $70 for the gopro one
Hey thanks! I don't think my tripod has a brand haha. It was about $15 on Amazon you can find it here amzn.to/330qGHn
I add some kind of personal defense item. Lightweight knife and/or pepper spray.
Also love my garmin 945...
I occasionally carry a teeny knife but its more of a utility item. If I lived somewhere with more dangerous wildlife I'm sure I'd carry something else! Thanks for watching.
@@ChaseTheSummit Thank you for sharing your gear, great to get new ideas!
I bring the same things, minus the cam. The only thing I’d add is a SAM splint. They’re a little bulky, but after eating it on my bike on a long solo ride a few months ago and severely spraining my ankle, I won’t go out without one. I’d have been in trouble if I hadn’t been able to coast out on the bike when I wrecked 5-6 miles from the truck.
SAM splint is a great thing to have though it's a little tough to pack into a vest. Thanks for sharing!
@@ChaseTheSummit Yeah. They make the smaller ones. I have the same vest as you, and I use the rolled version, not the folded one. Forget what size it is…
5-toe socs are standard in Japan and many people wear only them, me included.
This is one super helpful video! Just realized there are electrolyte pills😀
Glad you found it helpful! S-Caps are reaaaaaly nice to have on crazy hot days.
Hey Dave, great video! I’ve been on a kick lately looking for gear that isn’t necessarily a value, but great quality and will last a while. Generally you touch on value in your videos, but what about gear that just lasts? If you have any suggestions, or just want to touch on that in a video, I’d be interested.
Thats funny I have an idea for "gear worth investing in" coming soon. Spoiler, it doesn't include shoes 🤣
Chase the Summit, I had another thought. Since you recommended the Boco Gear hat, and they do custom orders, why not get a Chase the Summit Bogo hat? I’d be game for buying one.
@@robmatouk7017 Funny you say that! I'm working on it. Problem with the Boco hats is they're expensive even before customization but I think it would be pretty cool! Thanks for the idea.
I assume you need to have a service contract with the Garmin InReach. How's that work out? I've thought about getting one but I would most likely only need to bring along a few times a year with what I do. Thanks for the video.
Correct. My plan is around $25 bucks a month. They offer something called a "freedom plan" that allows you to Suspend/Resume your service when the tracker isn't being used. For instance, if you were mainly a skiier and only used the tracker in the winter you could disable it for the summer months. However, if you enable it once you're obligated to pay for that entire month. It's a little pricey but it's certainly peace of mind for friends and family. Thanks for watching!
0:20 Guns looking good !!
Ha! Thanks. It's mostly genetics 😂
Great video.! Salomon also make a good water filter 😎 also you forgot you sh*t kit... I always take some TP and hand sanitizer, just in case 😉
Good catch. I always have a wad of TP in a plastic bag haha.
@@ChaseTheSummit it's one of those things, pack it and you never need it. Forget it, well at your peril 😂
I’ve been wearing my Altra timp 2 in the snow all winter so far, no waterproofing needed for me!
Nice! My feet tend to get supppper soaked on warmish/snowy days. How are the Timps treating you?
@@ChaseTheSummit great, they took me longer to break in than the superiors but I like them a lot. I personally would rather deal with damp feet from snow than sweat. My feet stay warm running anyway if I dress right.
Hi just wanted some advice for chest worn heart rate monitors for open water swimming - I bought the Coros apex pro on the strength of your reviews, I did have a Garmin waterproof chest monitor which leaked following a battery change very disappointing for the U.K. price. So I’m looking for a new chest HR waterproof monitor and wondered what your thoughts are thanks, great channel 👍🏻
The only one that I know of that is somewhat reliable is the Garmin HRM Tri strap. I personally don't have a ton of experience with swimming with chest straps though. Sorry! Thanks for watching!
Chase the Summit Thanks I had a Garmin HRM and definitely wouldn’t recommend it as I believe the design to be poor and way too expensive. Had mine for 10 months and changed the battery and despite meticulous reassemble of the battery compartment it leaked like sieve ☹️
you had eveything but the Widerness Wipes (Amazon) i never leave home without em
Oh yeah good call! I often bring the brand “dude wipes” along because they’re available at Target lol.
@@ChaseTheSummit your awesome enjoy this very special day
Any chance of an updated version of this video?
Coming soon
Your garmin 945 dont scrach back sensors? Im interested how durable is the back sensor. After garmi 935 when i had change 2 waches i afraid of scraching 945 too..
I actually had one HR sensor crack to the point that Garmin replaced it under warranty. Other than that... the sensor is just as durable as the Fenix 6 or any other Garmin watch.
@@ChaseTheSummit that one HR sensor crack was on 945 or 935?
Did you ever run with another type of trail shoe?
Im looking at getting Altras I cant run 20km without my feet gettiny sore from my Salomons. It might be something to do with the drop from heel to toe altras are 0(?) And my Salomons are like 11mm
Another question: black diamond or Petzl for headlamp? I love headlamps haha
I tried several brands when I first started runnig trails between La Sportiva, Brooks, and Hoka. I settled on Altra because my feet are comically proportioned with a really wide forefoot and a narrow heel. Altra's just fit me the best. Everyone's different though! Altra's are 0 Drop so if you switch from an 11mm it would be worth transitioning into slowly. Hope that helps!
For the headlamp I really like the Black Diamond Revolt. I actually own three of them. They're USB rechargeable and have gone through some wild conditions with me including sub zero nights ice climbing and 110F+ degree trail runs. Petzl seems really good as well... I just don't have a ton of experience with them. Maybe I'll try to get a few brands together to make a comparison video.
@@ChaseTheSummit thanks so much for the replies Dave. Dont know how you are gonna keep up with this while you have like 20+k subscribers.
Looks like trial and error is going to be the name of the game for me
Does that forrunner have a glass screen protector. I can't stand then personally but it seemed like yours had one. Hmmmm
It does in this video. Some of them are decent!
What extra layers do you pack for a trail run in shoulder season in New England?
Depending on where I'm headed and the weather forecast I'll typically carry an extra long sleeve insulation layer like the Path Projects Pyranese hoodie and a ultra light rain/wind shell like the Patagonia Houdini or OR Helium.
@@ChaseTheSummit This is something I've struggled with as I'm learning to mountain run in New England. In shoulder season I've been carrying a puffy and a hard shell as go be prepared for a worst-case scenario of spending a night out immobilized on an exposed summit in the Whites or Adk's. When I talk to other runners they seem to think this is over kill. Let's say you were doing a Pemi Loop or Great Range Traverse.. Same situation? Seems like it would be hard to spend the night on one of those summits with just those layers. Thoughts?
"capilini" lmfao 😂
#nailedit
I just noticed that you have quite a bit of upper body muscle for an ultra runner.
It's mostly genetics 😂
How long are your runs?
Depends on the day but a packing list like this would be for something big 20-30 mile range where I can be out there for 5+ hours. Thanks for watching!
Are you on Strava man?
Of course! Not 100% of my runs go up there though.
@@ChaseTheSummit Found you! Thumbs up for your contents on TH-cam! Cheers from Italy
Hey man I have a question. I got a garmin tactics Charlie a few days ago and I’m having trouble pairing the watch to the garmin connect. Would you know another way to pair it on my phone? I know I can do it on my laptop and Bluetooth but still not pairing on the app.
That's odd. You can certainly pair the watch using your USB cable and your computer but then you won't get any real-time data on your phone. Have you tried uninstalling garmin connect? Restarting the phone? Clearing the cache (if on android)? Possibly try someone elses phone to confirm that the watch isn't defective. Hope that helps.
Chase the Summit: thanks a lot man! That worked! Love your videos!
BUT IS THE CAMERA OKAY?????
Don't worry bout' that little guy.
Make sure the batteries in your headlamp are good. Ask me how I know... :) Just kidding. Don't ask.
Hah... It's a good idea to keep a cheap light headlamp in your bag as a backup for those situations!
HAND SANITIZER!!!!! and wipes or toilet paper!!! something you nevvvver want to forget
I always have baby wipes and a tiny travel bottle of sanitizer. Thanks for chiming in!
