[@srockguitar]

awesome gear video! im trying to learn about backpacking may i ask what your guys backpacks weigh full.have a great trip thankyou

[@user-gj3ho6ru7t]

Can you do a swimsuit review? Looking for the best/most comfortable 2-piece for backpacking.

[@Jedwoods]

do you need a foam sit pad if you already have a foam sleeping pad? I sit on my z-rest all the time, if I'm stopping for lunch or whatever.

[@the_adventureaddicts]

Oo good point! not *really,* but my concern is that I want to prevent as much moisture in the tent as possible, so I would rather get the sit pad wet if I am sitting on snow, and then only use the foam pad in the tent. BUT could really go either way!

[@Jedwoods]

​@@the_adventureaddictsof course! Hope your trip went well!

[@ziqingsu4853]

I love that instant noodle as well 辛拉面！

[@the_adventureaddicts]

Could LIVE on ramen noodles this time of year! Those ones are spicy!😂

[@destyneemartinez]

Do your bladders freeze in the winter? I want to bring mine for my pack but I never do in fear of the water freezing in the tube!

[@maureenslaughter1516]

What is the snack that you bought yesterday and were staring at?

[@the_adventureaddicts]

Hahaha peach rings!!
