Hi enjoyed your videos. Just wanted to confirm the size of the atom mo. Is it the mo 60 which has 55l main body and 2.5l side pockets or the mo 50 with 45l main, 2x2.5l sides & 5l for the front pocket or have you customised the size as well?
Hi John - I got a customised 55L pack (50L main pocket, 2 x 2.5L sides, front pocket not included). To be honest - I would get the 60L if I could get it again, just to have a little extra room if needed. And you can always just compress the pack right down if you're doing a shorter trip and don't have too much stuff
Wow a great loadout. Nothing more beautiful than form, function, durability, and efficiency. Very thoughtful kit. Have a safe journey sir. Best wishes!!
@@jackbrookes I’ve had mine since 2016, I will wear them until they completely fall apart. I also love jet boil I carry the minimo. Subbed!! Cheers and happy new year from the US.
@@JoeSmith-gp5dm I think I went too hard with mine in the bog in Scotland and Iceland, they’re getting a bit worn now 😂 love Jetboil also. Cheers Joe, have a good rest of your weekend
@@BlueDragon00 I love them mate. I wear them when I’m running around the city instead of my actual runners now. I’ve got around 800km/500 miles on mine currently and still going strong but a fair bit of wear on the soles. If you can get into a store and try a few different brands on though
Hi Ramon, this is indeed a summer load-out. I don’t tend to hike too much outside of summer, unless it’s a dry equatorial location. I have since invested in a rain jacket though - I’ll include it in my next gear video Cheers Jack
of course! I use this one: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07YJLP1S9/ref=twister_B088YTC7WT?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 The fit is a bit small so I chose to go a size up
Hey dude! I got a Forclaz Trek 900 0°sleeping bag from Decathlon (0.9kg) and I'm thinking about changing it for this Quilt 250 Cumulus to lighten my bag (- 0.4kg is not disgusting at all) . There isn't a lot of review about it. So do you recommend it for mostly spring-summer outings or even in the mountains where we know that it can sometimes be quite cold? Thank you very much and good luck on your channel!
Hey mate great question! I'm quite a warm sleeper and I was very comfortable with the 250 + a liner. I think the lowest I have used it would of been 3 degrees whilst in Iceland and it worked superb. If you are a cold sleeper and plan to sleep quite high up in the mountains I would say just have some layers/gloves/socks on standby
@@jackbrookes Thanks for your answer! I Can call myself like a warm sleeper so let's go for this Quilt, if you Say so ! Amazing and fast answer and great Channel my Friend!
Have never been anywhere with bears before so I can’t comment on bear bags. Normally I just stuff some freeze dried meals and other small snacks into the front pocket of my rucksack or into the main compartment loose :)

I had exactly same custom Atom Mo for my thru hike of the PCT last year, it was awesome and comfortable
Amazing aren’t they! I think I’d love to get a new one at some point, they’ve got some nice looking designs currently 😬
@@jackbrookes yes I have bought a colouful 40 L Atom+ for my hike of the AZT next month
@@Simon..Chapman amazing! They are becoming more and more popular outside of the UK now
You have a really well thought out setup, I have a pair of brooks cascadia 11s and have worn them every single season I absolutely love them.
Cheers Joe. The Cascadia’s are without doubt a game changer. Doubt I’ll ever swap them out for something else 🏃♂️

Nice Atom Packs backpack. Best of luck on your thru-hike. I will follow your journey. Great gear loadout. Crow
Cheers Crow, much appreciated. I will have a look at your videos when I get back from my current trip.
Cheers,

Hi there, may I ask where did you get the DCF bag liner from.
Hi I got it from Atom packs but they don’t sell it anymore :(
Nice video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks and no worries!
How did the brooks turn out for you? Looking at new shoes
Love them - have had 2 pairs now, second pair still going strong after 600+ km
great info!!
Cheers Ian!
Where did you get the liner for the atom pack??
Hey Ammon, I got it from Atom Packs! But looks like they don’t sell it anymore 😐
@@jackbrookes great video thanks for the reply !
I can smell some Kraig Adams onpiration here lol,
but great setup
He’s certainly inspired a lot of people including me
Jack how do you compare brooks cascadia to other brands like altra? Do they have enough grip on wet terrain?
Hey Destro I’m yet to try any other trail runner brands yet 😅 have stuck with Brooks the whole way through. Have you tried altras before?
@@jackbrookes Nah, i still cant decide what to choose, how do you like brooks so far?
@@BlueDragon00 I love them mate. I wear them when I’m running around the city instead of my actual runners now. I’ve got around 800km/500 miles on mine currently and still going strong but a fair bit of wear on the soles. If you can get into a store and try a few different brands on though
@@BlueDragon00 definitely won’t be disappointed with a pair of the Cascadia’s though
Hi! Great videos. Extremely clear and useful. Kudos to you!:-) Is your website still running? Am having some troubles reaching it… Txs!!
Hey thanks for the comment! 👌 No my website isn’t up at the moment, trying to give it a fresher look. Anything in particular you wanted to look at?
Hi ! Is this yellow color on the sides ?
Hi Jtktomb, what do you mean? Yellow on the sides of what?
@@jackbrookes Sorry, I meant on the sides of the backpack
Is this your summer load out? I ask because I see you don't include rain gear. -Saludos de California
Hi Ramon, this is indeed a summer load-out. I don’t tend to hike too much outside of summer, unless it’s a dry equatorial location. I have since invested in a rain jacket though - I’ll include it in my next gear video

Can you share a link to the sun hoody?
of course! I use this one: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07YJLP1S9/ref=twister_B088YTC7WT?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
The fit is a bit small so I chose to go a size up
@@jackbrookes Thanks for the prompt response. Kit looks dope :D
@@jpk91 no worries! Thanks for watching :)
Hi what phone do you use whe hike or get out in nature ? What you recommend ? Big like ! Tankyou !
Hi Dani, I use my old IPhone X with downloaded offline maps on AllTrails :) hope this helps!
Jack
@@jackbrookes do you have a rugged case for him? Tankyou, that heps me!
@@BudaDanielIoan hey Dani, I just use a pretty generic non-rugged case :) I just make sure not to drop it and take care of it as best I can
@@jackbrookes Appreciate, tanks!
@@BudaDanielIoan more than welcome!

@@kargal2k No stress mate! you'll love it.
@@jackbrookes You should ask them 10% from my order, you deserve it! :)
Thx again dude!
@@kargal2k thanks my dude! i'll be sure to let them know
Are the quoted prices in Aussie dollars?
Hi David, that was quoted USD :)
Great gear selection, but you might want to consider moving away from aluminum in your cookware and Cutlery for steel or titanium.
Perfect I’ll look into that, thanks for the feedback!
food /bear bag?
Have never been anywhere with bears before so I can’t comment on bear bags. Normally I just stuff some freeze dried meals and other small snacks into the front pocket of my rucksack or into the main compartment loose :)
Don’t understand why you don’t have that many views
Thanks Mauritz 😂
Ours is quite a niche pastime. Something I’m glad of.
