    Most of the 'experienced hikers' I see with TH-cam channels tend to give me the impression that they've got even less experience than I do. It's obvious that you've actually done the miles and honed your equipment to suit you. Thanks for some excellent tips.

    I'm pondering a long trip that'll have re-supply, but no zero days off-trail. Most ultralight hikers don't bother with extra clothing besides thermal layers. I wonder what you''d do if you went out for 20+ days? Even merino starts to smell after a week of hard hiking. Would you bring extra cloths, wash your outfit, or just smell?

    • @architennis
      @architennis ปีที่แล้ว +1

This year I've ordered a lot of stuff from Garage Grown Gear to get lighter in my load and can say I'm a very happy customer. The only thing I don't use is the (free) tiny toothbrush they sent.

    Can't get behind a tiny 1 person tent. Got to have 25 square feet inside so I can keep some gear at hand and not be against the walls. That also makes room side-to-side for my wide rectangular pad. Love the Trekology pillow. I add a 2 ounce DIY down/feather pillow on top. It adds warmth and a LOT of comfort. Don't like titanium spoons. Expensive and they tend to have shallow bowls. I have used a Walmart Ozark Trail long spoon. Less than a dollar but out of stock. Looking for an alternative since I left mine at tha bottom of Linville Gorge. Might do a video for my channel (Tom Loves DIY) about cheap, lighweight spoons. Have to agree about Decathalon down jacket. Great value and decent weight to warnth ratio. Thanks for another great video.

    thats a very interesting setup, definitely a few things i could take away from this video. I've got an old veshmeshok rucksack, here's what i've got in it:
    2-person Tent, weighs 6 pounds
    Wool Blanket
    Trench Shovel
    4 Pairs of Socks & Underwear
    2 Tan T-Shirts
    1 Pair of Shorts
    Plastic Bags
    Towel
    Gloves
    2 MREs
    -Frogtogg Sack
    Tinder
    Matches
    Wetnaps
    Napkins
    4 Sets of Dinnerware
    2 D-Batteries
    Toiletpaper
    Sewing Kit + Duct Tape
    Fishing Line
    Paracord Bracelet
    Can Opener
    Rocketstove
    -Black Hygiene Bag
    Foot Powder
    Bug Repellent
    Bar Soap
    -First Aid Kit
    Gloves
    Napkins
    Gauze
    Bandaids
    Afterbite
    Antibiotic Ointment
    Ace Bandage
    Hand Sanitizer
    Rubbing Alcohol
    Hydrocortisone
    Alergy Meds
    Angled Flashlight
    20 Rounds of ammo
    Small Pot
    I've got the tent, poles, and blanket strapped on top of the rucksack, and I use the handles of the pot and shovel to keep them in place. I use the bag's draw string to cinch the pot handle and shovel handle together, and I use two spare belts to cinch the tent onto the blanket, which is strapped down in a horseshoe shape on the sides and top of the bag. I plan to add a lifestraw to my bag when it delivers, but for now I'm using a stainless steel canteen with a sling pouch. Because the bag has no definite shape, I have to pack everything in a certain manner to give it shape. I use the mres, frogtogg sack, and rocket stove to give the back a more square shape so that it will sit closer to my back, then I pack my hygiene and first aid kit in the small space between all that, with my ammo, pot, and light on top, and my spare clothes and towel underneath it. The shovel packs into a pouch that's on the outside of the bag, and the pot handle stick out of the knot that I tie. All together it weights about 30 pounds. The sack has thin straps that leave welts on your shoulders or collar bones, but they aren't too bad. Mine comes with a chest strap which comes in handy. When I sleep, I'll place a bunch of grass underneath the spot in the tent I'll sleep in and Ill use my rucksack as a pillow. I hiked about 6 miles with this on one time to my camping spot and other than for a couple light welts, everything was fine.

    nice setup only issue for me is i can't justify the cost of that tent , i would like a zpacks tent. i am thinking about a six moon designs lunar solo or skyscape trekker or a durston X-mid 1p. do like the zerk 40 and is see GGG is selling them now might sell my second flash 55 and get a zerk 40 .
    what size squeeze bottle did you get for the soap from GGG ? and how easy is it to get intothe tube?

      I have done a long distance trail plus some other camping with the skyscape trekker and I have to say while it's a great tent, here are some things to consider:
      You have to put the trekking poles inside, as in where you sleep which means you have to open the net to set up the tent which will let insects in. Not a huge problem once you get good at setting it up. Also the poles can move around because they are on the tent floor rather than the actual ground outside.
      Speaking of setting it up I found it a bit tricky out in the wild where the ground is uneven. Still struggle to set it up where the top is level and all the sides are under good tension.
      Unlike many other trekking pole tents you can't really lower it to close the gap between the tent wall and the ground. This is because the guylines start at the bottom of the fly and use the walls for tension. So even if you shorten the guylines to be as short as possible the walls will be kinda saggy. Again not a Huge problem just a bit cooler in strong wind.
      Oh and while spacious inside the vestibule is kinda small compared to some other tents.
      These are the main cons. It's a great tent otherwise.

    Can someone explain to me why they use pack liners as opposed to rain covers?

    • @phillipp1399
      @phillipp1399 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Covers eventually wet out, weigh more, and don’t cover one side of the pack so in extended rains your pack can flood via rain that comes in between you and the pack.
