The tent stakes used as pot holders is a great idea...will incorporate this in my bag of options. Great vid!
I too have cancer and it’s great not having the weight of my hair on my head, I saved a couple ounces right there.
What a great way to cut weight 😂😂😂
Thank you for this haha finally some petite backpacking content!!
I'm not the tipe of guy going in to something to hate it but I did expect it to not be for me...yet I was soooo plenty surprised. You're so wholesome. Just loved it
Subscribed. The apple whiskey sold me XD
I bought the waymark 28LT lite, I’m doing the pct this March with a 6 pounds base weight
Nice!
Great stuff,do you really need load lifters with such a light load?How is the one in rain? I have seen a few on trail,people seem to complain about water getting in with such thin material,sagging and such. I am around 12-13 pounds base weight for fall backpacking. I just can’t seem to get under 10 pounds.
My old pack was a granite gear crown 38, with pockets and extension collar 45 ish liters. It has a lightweight frame sheet.(thin plastic)2.6pounds total weight and had load lifters. It was a tall and skinny pack. It came up behind my head. I think that load lifters just pull the top closer to back not really lifting like you said. Last year I bought a hyper lite junction 2400 40 liter internal with 10 liter external pockets. 2lbs. 2 frame stays,No load lifters but the pack full barely comes over shoulders. I was nervous with no lifters but I think the fit of pack is really important and don’t miss them. Alot of times pack is rolled down to the shoulder straps,no place for them. Thanks for replying.
The next ultra, ultralight trend. I love it!
love your gear,i hope you beat cancer soon,stay strong,we are with you
Informative and beneficial video
On the pct alcohol stoves aren't allowed because it's an open flame. I had one on the TA tho and loved it's feather weight.
@GlockTard Nope. All stoves on the PCT need a regulator during fire season, you need to be able to turn off the flame. The concern is open flame being accidentally kicked over or otherwise setting off a fire, everything is so brushy and dry that it takes just a second or two in the right conditions to start a forest fire. And the land managers do give tickets or sometimes a ride to jail.
Tent stakes for the stand is excellent idea 💡
Fancee Feast alcohol stove saved the day last trip when my canister stove wouldn’t work below freezing even though I kept the canister in my sleeping bag at night. Built in pot stand, easy to make with a Fancy Feast cat food can, part of a small tomato paste can, and some fiberglass tape as a wick.
Yes! Love my fancee feast! So light, so quiet, so cheeeep!
Or carbon felt as a wick...i found works even better
I opt for a 15° down quilt and x therm for my ground camping but my base weight is almost double of yours lol.
Alcohol stove is actually heavier then a canister stove after a 2 day trip. I've done the math multiple times and a brs stove with 550 pot is a bit lighter then my toaks Alcohol stove with the same pot. The killer is the wind screen. I do love the Alcohol stoves sound lol
What about Toaks wood burning stove? 🔥
The large stove set up weighs the same as a canister and BRS.
@@E_Clampus_Vitus .. be sure wood fires are allowed ..
@@rockytopwrangler2069 Yah, I can’t use it as often as I like. Still, nice to have for when I can.
How much does your windscreen weigh?!?!?
Light, compressible, warm, AND vegan?? What a cool sleeping quilt 👀
I know, right?! So impressive! (Seriously though…) 😂
There's no such thing... Look at it. It's literally three times larger when packed than an equivalent down quilt.
You do you. If you want to carry it, go for it. But the presenter is overselling that particular bit of gear by a lot.
Also, you'd probably be better off making it yourself. It will take all of an hour and cost a $50. $200 for the basic Apex insulation quilt is ridiculous, EE is printing money on that one.
@Arrynek01 I made my own 15-degree down quilt, and the down was so expensive there was zero cost savings. But tailoed to my smaller size.. The companies can get bulk deals. ...But for synthetic, it would surely be less expensive... For the down, I made 3" baffles, and that was a bit more time-consuming, but yeah, a no sew thru apex would be much easier.
An ultralight thruhike gearlist would may be interesting (let's say... 200nights, 4season? As a challenge😉)
I have those camp shoes but I am not a fan of when it’s cold and wet as well….
I got those mayfly, and as soon as I got to camp I regretted having them. I accidentally kicked a rock at camp and put them back in the closet and never touched them again. Those mayfly camp shoes are a good way to end up miles in the back country with a broken toe.
😧
Just clip a pair of crocs to the outside of your pack 🤷♂️
@@Finarvas I had clipped crocs to my bag before buying mayflies and continue to do so. Crocs are comfortable, durable, and protect your feet.
Try the Gossamer Gear 1/8 inch pad at 3 oz. Also, a smart water bottle weighs less than a Nalgene. Great video!
Concerned about reusing contact solution bottle to carry alcohol... seems like a recipe for disaster... unless you remove all markings of contact solution and remark bottle clearly as to it's contents... love the ltwt of an alcohol stove however if there is a campfire restriction it cannot be legally used... a BRS stove weigh 26g... of course like the alcohol stove you will need to carry fuel... but it is legal to use campfire restriction or not...
Jupiter completed the PCT this year with a base weight about 2lbs less.
That guy is darn minimal
@Mobile Winter Camp yeah, he uses a tarp and a thinlight pad... I can't imagine being that uncomfortable, but it seems to work for him... actually, I didn't see his kit this year. Also, on the pct, the mosquitos are brutal. I pitched my tent to eat lunch.... to me, it would be impossible with just a tarp. Also, ticks are an issue. For me, not having a net gives me the shivers. The whole pct I saw only one guy with a tarp and even he had a bivvy. But not having a tent or sleeping pad is big weight difference.
sounds as fun as strapping a bunch of helium ballons to your backpack to make it lighter
I like the joke about using sticks and fingers in the woods as "innovative" for ultralight backpacking XD
😂
No bear spray for predator encounters (mountain lions, bears, drug runners, etc...)?
You’re charming- I haven’t even finished the video yet but I already love you.
Stop... this is an attempt for you to get attention way more that it is because you actually care about somebody else. Disingenuous (read bald faced liar) people like you are the worst.
Comfortable pillows is where the entire world of ultralight camping breaks down. Someone really needs to figure out a way to make this actually work. I must have a good 30 travel pillows and they all suck.
Should do cold soak instead of bringing a stove.
I think this items are ok but I would rather have a bit more weight with much better, stronger and more comfortable gear especially here in harsh Scottish weather! Good video to see anyway ;)
Ah yes. We've hiked in Scotland and can definitely attest to that. 😂 You need to be prepared. You'll be adding a bit more weight for proper wind and rain gear, to be sure!
You have the absolute prettiest smile
Stop... this is an attempt for you to get attention way more that it is because you actually care about somebody else.
@@thomgizziz Or people can be nice. Don't be weird.
Just gonna put a little bit in huuuuurrrrrr. LOL
I like the gear you have. This loadout makes sense only if the gear you do not have is in your boyfriend's pack. Fire, navigation, water treatment, medical, rescue signal, comms, lighting, real raingear, repairs, cutting tools, poop kits are all missing. Without his gear capabilities you could get into a dangerous situation quick fast and in a hurry. Nice light pack.
Using tent stakes as a pot stand can ruin the temper of the metal and make your stakes weak. Lost a couple good MSR groundhogs to this sadly. Also alcohol stoves are really not a weight savings after a couple meals worth of fuel. Canister stoves are pretty efficient for anything over a couple days
pour it in after heating the cider... cooked off the alcohol...
I always wonder how could people carry 1.5 kg + bags
Josh just picked up an old conventional backpack today that he hasn’t used it a while and asked why it was so heavy. 🤣
eschewing I SEE WHAT U DID THERE
Camping in the dork.
Good morning. It should be noted for the vegan folks out there who don't prefer down products (for obvious reasons) that there is available down products using down that was "self plucked" for nesting purposes. After the ducks use the farmer built nesting spots, they move on leaving down filled nests. I'd call that quite responsibly sourced and the ducks have a nesting spot for next season. The cost would reflect these products I'm sure, but at least there are responsible options if you were interested.
The plastic shoes shouldn't have gotten out of committee. I place them in the box right next to the GG crotch Pot....super funny but not so practical. Nice kit, thanks
Finally a hiking and camping channel thats not about undressed woman. This is great and happy
Yes! 🤣
Just found this channel, as a vegan planning to get into Backpacking this summer I will be watching all your videos.
Yay! Glad you found us! Hope you find tons of helpful information!

Here i am with my average 10-15KG backpack gear 🤣 ~ in Taiwan there is a few hikes that lasts for a few 5-9 days where you will NOT find food source or WATER source. You either carry yourself everything at the begin or you do not go.
Who is this guy?
She brought a Nalgene and prefers a whole tooth brush 🤮
i don't have patience for alcohol stoves it takes 7-10 minutes just to boil water and that's with no wind
a small gas canaster weights about the same but a lot faster 2-4 minutes for water to boil
so if your going ultralight then time might be a factor think how far you can get in those extra minutes
Ultralight hike is unsafe and risky! Stop this nonsense 🥴
🧐
OR Helium is overpriced trash. That thing will wet out in 20 minutes in a downpour.
Agree. Mine didn't last 5 minutes in the shower. I tried many. Settled on Frogtoggs large mens 5.5 oz., (I am 5'-7" 175 lbs, very fit) which fits over me and my pack for complete waterproof. I also take a 2 oz rain kilt; she has no rain protection below the waist
Purchased mine in 2017... along with Zpacks Rain Kilt and Gaitors... my rain kit comes out 10 oz...wife uses the same... been great... PNW hikers...
@@m.guysantiago1321 Heliu keeps out rain for about 30 minutes if its light and 15 minutes if its heavy. It's not remotely waterproof.
