Hey guys! It’s Caboose. I met y’all when I hiked in 2019. I’m managing the laughing heart in hot springs now. When you guys come through, y’all have a bed here when you need it!
Maybe look into the Nitecore10000 power bank. There's a 20k version but two 10k are better IMO. Then you can look into the NU25 head lamp from Nitecore as well.
I bought a zpacks wallet for my first trip on the AT in 2017. As soon as I got back home, I discarded my old wallet and still use the zpack as my daily wallet.
I followed your previous two AT thru-hikes and since the AT is my fave trail of all time, let's just say I'm not disappointed that you're again hiking the AT instead of the PCT. Good luck on your trip.
Wow! That´s unexpectedly good news. Julie and Baskets back on the AT 2021. I´m really exited for new adventures - for us and both of you. Bringing an ubrella to rainy thruhikes will make a big, big, very big difference. Being a little bit wet or being soaked thru, feeling ok or miserable - choice is clear. Citation Baskets : " Yeah, buddy!"😊
LoL - your stake bag looks just like mine, a mish mash of ones I like and some I found along the way. I had a cool MSR needle stake I found that I liked a lot that the trail reclaimed on my last hike. I was bummed. Love your setup. Hope to see you out there.
I have the same MSR kit. The only issue I have is sometimes when the pot gets hot, the rubber grip expands and slides down the pot. I eventually just took it off and haven't missed it. Looking forward to seeing your adventure again this year!
ahhh ill have to test it out thaks for the info, i havent used my own stove on a thru hike since 2017 back then i had a Jetboil which was great, but i got rid of it, hopefully this one works well
I sooo agree about shelters when traveling w some one !! So many possibilities that would leave you stuck without a shelter and the other person has it and you have none same way with stove at least some Esbit cubes anything that you can boil water with so you can drink. Those two are life savers. Hopefully you're carrying your own food and sleep ing bag ?!!! Or SOME food 😋🤗 Sounds like fun 😜 I'm glad you are doing it ☺️ ☮️ And keep on rocking the free world ☺️
That is awesome you guys are doing the AT again. Good luck to you guys. I am hitting the cdt in a few days been watching you and nope on the cdt. Happy trails 👊
Am looking at this again, and have just ordered the CEP calf compression 'socks' from the link you so generously shared, so hope you get a bit of 'recognition' from either Amazon or CEP. Can't wait to try them out! 👍
Y’all are crazy! 😀 Bummer you aren’t able to hike the PCT this year! Looking forward to watching you & Garden State again! Good luck on your journey! Wishing you both the best!
Nice kit. I would look into getting a Toaks 550ml UL pot and BRS3000T stove to save a couple of oz for 55 USD. It almost closes with a 100ml canister, Lightload towel and small BIC. Enough so a rubber band holds it together easily.
Some ponchos double as tarps. I saw two different versions on amazon, one that uses a trekking pole setup similar to your tarp, and one that can be used similarly to the sea to summit 2p tent as a shelter or also as a floor blanket or as sun/rain protection if bound to trees.
Bro! You are doing the AT again?!? Haha you just cant stay away from that trail can you??? Its great to hear that you and Julie are getting a long hike in this year, by the end of this year, Baskets will be the new AT GOAT!!!
haha yeah man im so excited to hike it again i cannot wait! im just hoping to finish this thing, i think Baltimore Jack with his 9 or more Thru hikes is the AT Goat been watching your Vlogs man and your doing a great job inspiring hikers to hike these trails! Happy Trails Brother!
@@baskets8429 Yea, well that just means you can try to go for 10 times right ;) double digits!!! Thanks, some of these National Scenic Trails are logistically "weird" to hike as a thru-hike but hopefully the infrastructure continues to grow if they see more and more thru-hikers out there. I am excited to watch you and Julie cruise on down the AT again, at this point you must know all the best campsites?! That is really cool, havent had that experience yet doing a trail a 2nd time, but I can assume it is unique in getting to feel the feelings from the past hike as well as know the areas you are coming thru and seeing them different while also the same.
Have you considered bringing a car or two? I like a poncho for rain gear and an emergency shelter. River Country Products sells a nice big poncho for $10. Ice Bear did a video about it and the Heatsheet Emergency blanket. You will be glad that you have the stove on a cold rainy day. Are we going to see NOPE? Good Luck, Rick
Sweet thanks I’m going on the AT to get as far away from cars as I can, probably taking the Amtrak down there as I’ve missed riding the train so should be fun 😊👍👍
I love my iPhone 12 Pro Max. The camera is amazing, the battery is great and you will enjoy the larger screen for editing on the trail. Pretty sure it will fit in that shoulder strap pocket. I have a HMG shoulder strap pocket and it fits in it perfectly.
Have the same msr cook kit, word of advice ditch the clear cup before you pull a bonehead mistake like me, not paying attention in a hurry , lit the stove set the pot on it without removing the cup. It took awhile to clean the melted plastic out of the stove😒
how do you feel about the Palante desert, does anyone have any experience with it, I am considering using it as a summer fastpacking pack in the northwest.
i liked it a lot its comfortable for me, never used the waist belt and carried 30 lb plus nicely for me, it feels like the regular Palante basically which i used to thru hike the AT in 2019 and that pack was amazing, these are my favorite packs
@@baskets8429 I checked a few weeks ago and they were not available. I ended up ordering from Six Moon Designs. I did get my thin light pad from GG recently.
@@nobison6185 the new ul one they just released? I'm curious about its durability. Not a fan of their choice to use silnylon cause it tends to quickly start sagging when wet. The one I've got now is silpoly and haven't noticed it wet out at all so far almost 6 months since I started trying it.

That’s awesome ! I no longer use leather wallets Zpacks is the best
Darn Tough socks are the best. So is a hot cup of coffee first thing in the morning. :) Can't wait to follow you and Garden State again on the AT.
I love coffee in the morning, especially w a Mountain View 😊😊😊
Excited to follow another one of your hikes on here and IG!

Outstanding idea! 😊👍👍 Happy trails

That is awesome you guys are doing the AT again. Good luck to you guys. I am hitting the cdt in a few days been watching you and nope on the cdt. Happy trails 👊

Awesome, thanks !
Nice. Can’t wait stay safe out there.
😊👍
Have fun on the AT! I'll share this on the Hilltop Packs FB page

You can use the pillow/drysack to store your quilt
thanks, the quilt goes into the Compactor bag with all the other stuff, the pillow drysack is where my clothes go to stay more organized
Wooooooooohoooooooo, Trail on, niiiiiice! 🤗👍
😊👍
Hoping to see you out there. Starting early May NOBO . Best to you both ~ Mad Rat
Right on! Enjoy the adventure, hope to see ya on trail

@@baskets8429 Another consideration on the poncho is that, in a frog choker, you can put it over your tent for total waterproofing.
My Timp 1.5s were slicker than soap. I picked up the 2.0 because the tread was more like the Altra. I've been happier with them.
😊👍
I love my iPhone 12 Pro Max. The camera is amazing, the battery is great and you will enjoy the larger screen for editing on the trail. Pretty sure it will fit in that shoulder strap pocket. I have a HMG shoulder strap pocket and it fits in it perfectly.
Awesome! Looking forward to the new camera on it , love the 7 but a new upgrade will make filming way more fun

Thanks 😊
Those rain mittens will be handy.
👍😊
Awesome Baskets hey why not the A.T. again do what you love.
Exactly 😊
Does the 15 degree of hand grip of ergo cork affecting the setup of the tarp?
No not really
I use the same exact cook pot system but instead of the ice cream jar i have little titanium skillet pot
😊👍
I've used a wooden spoon for years before that I probably lost 5 of the titanium spoons lolz
I just use Iced tea spoons. Get them at the thift store for about 10¢. Fancy name is a parfait spoon.
Woohoo!
👍👍

I like nj to Maine I'd hike
SB PCT also is not possible?GL
Nah
Have you tried an umbrella?
i was actually supposed to mention that im looking into the Gossamer Gear Umbrella for this hike, i might order one soon to test it out
@@baskets8429 i ended up getting the helinox one. Apparently it has a five year warranty
