    Very good tips,

    In my country Czechia camping is Very big tradition from the comunist times when all of the young people were camping. We dont ussually cary a tent with us we always have a plastic tarp and a rope and we make our roof ower the by ourselfs

    I have used a foam pad for over 20 years (1,5 years with an inflatable now) and I want to give a few reasons why they matter and why people shouldn't disregard them:
    1. They're cheap. Hiking shouldn't be luxury sport
    2. They are indestructible
    3. They are light (only the most expensive inflatable pads are lighter, but those aren't usually as good as their competitors)
    4. They are multi-functional. I used my foam pads for resting against a tree (no need for a chair steven from mylifeoutddoors), as a surface for meal prep and much more. My inflatable does none of these things.
    5. They are deployed very fast. Which makes me use it for small breaks too. I would never bother with inflating/deflating a pad for sitting warm/comfortable on a 10-minute break.
    6. As long as you're healthy and know what you're doing they are very comfortable. I am a strong advocate that sleeping comfort does not mainly depend on your pad. If you are uncomfortable on your foam pad, it is probably because you are either using it wrong or suffer from overweight or back problems, or you have unhealthy sleeping habits.
    I recently switched to an inflatable (guess I'm becoming too fat/old) and dig the comfort and small pack size, but miss all the other advantages of my trusty foam pad.

      Canned beer? It weighs a kilo/litre . With that weight penalty its something I can easily do without. And it's more trash to carry out and dispose of. A hip flask of the whisky of your choice gets my vote over the negative cost benefit of beer any day n twice on Sundays. Its versatile too, you can add a dash to your hot drink of choice, try adding beer to your coffee/tea/ hot chocolate, that'll wipe the smile off your chops quick as a cup of cold pigs p*ss, it's antiseptic and it will work in your alcohol stove if you were ever that desperate. A flask weighs very little, occupys very little space if packed and is indefinitely re-usable.

    I feel like you're really underrating good boots. They can be surprisingly lightweight, and they don't just support your ankle. Their soles are usually thicker and hardier, and they'll protect you better from hazards on the ground. They can be waterproofed much better than sneakers or trail runners. And lastly, they're a form of preventative care, because good boots and properly bloused pants will keep insects and nasty plants away from your legs and feet, and provide better protection against cuts and scrapes if you fall or bump your leg. And of course winter boots are your absolute besties when the temperature drops, as you've mentioned. The giant first aid kit though, that's spot on. Unless you expect to encounter dangerous wildlife (on two legs or four) or the terrain is exceptionally dangerous, you're less likely to need a tourniquet and a chest seal than you are to need a knuckle bandaid.

    • @BhavaSindh
      @BhavaSindh ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, I agree with you! I think good boots are a safety feature if you are in the backcountry. Once broke in, they get really comfy. When the sole is worn off, you can get a new one and still keep your boot.

    • @arthurrsaker8893
      @arthurrsaker8893 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That makes perfect sense to me buddy, light n comfortable is my doctrine too. Tell you one thing that really annoys the crap out of me n that's the near impossibility of finding a short wide sleep mat. The standard width is far too narrow to get a comfortable night's sleep unless you happen to be comatose and narrow as a stick insect. Looks to me like his 20inch standard is a plain stupid piece of nonsense we have tolerated far too long. . I'd like to see 28, maybe 30 inches. I'm a little guy and found the neo air sheer purgatory when I tried it, coz of its silly width, and of course there are dozens of others just as flawed. We sacrifice far too much on the alter of ultra light, when we should primarily focus on comfort. Instead of obsessing about compressing to the size of a Nalgene and weighing half a gnats fart. I'm trying to find the smallest double size sleep mat now that isn't going to impose a burden of unreasonable weight with the comfort level and 4 season R value I wantas a remedy to the situation. I can't help feeling that in the eighties when ultralight was in its infancy it took a wrong turn regarding sleep mats. The early high priests of the cult readily embraced their discomfort and preached their gospel to a growing band of converts. The cult became a trend which grew to became the societal norm by which products are measured. Rucsacs have made great strides in weight reduction without losing comfort and carry capacity, footwear too. But sleep mats lag far behind, in that comfort suffers at the expense of weight and volume reduction. A wrong turn that the industry was quick to capitalise on and has been doing so ever since. I feel strongly that a good night's sleep is foundational to the enjoyment of all time spent outdoors no matter what the activity within the spectrum of wilderness and mountain travel, and so would warmly welcome the advances in techniques and materials being directed toward an honest attempt at making sleep mats that are actually comfortable for a human being with normal sleep habits instead of offering us products that can in truth only be described as survival kit to prevent death by freezing so long as the user lies perfectly still. So come on Thermarest, Nemo. Exped, Klymate etc, pull your fingers out and address the problem of the lack of real comfort in your products.

      @@erichpretorius4014 Well, yes, anyhow, but that's not really a good logic. Means yes if you don't know how to handle anything you might not be able to use it in an emergency. But in an emergency you might find another person who knows how to use it - yet did not bring it. So this person could help you by using it.
      That said, a good training might replace a lot of gear, especially also in first aid cases. You can often repurpose any piece of whatever gear or use something you find in nature, when you have the right know-how. For example, you can improvise a tourniquet by using a t-shirt and a tent peg. So my advise would be: Carry whatever gear you think is necessary but nobody should go out without at least some basic training in first aid.

    I bike-pack with a bike cargo trailer (Burley nomad). Some things are the same with backpacking, but weight isn’t the issue, space is. My tent (NatureHike Mongar 2) comes with a footprint that is integral to setting up the tent - can’t pitch it without it. I’ve camped in areas that were muddy/dirty and it was good to have it anyway to keep the tent clean. I will always bring some sort of hammering tool for stake pegs and carry a mora knife and an Opinel knife for cooking/eating. If the weather doesn’t get much below 45F, I use a small cheap down quilt (not the sleeping bag type) and a wool blanket - the blanket is heavy but it packs fairly small and also works to wrap up in when just hanging out at camp. For first aid, I do bring stuff for a sprain in addition for cuts because those are the common bike injuries. I like bank line vs. paracord. I do have one length of paracord, but use the bank line more often.

Yeah you want to take them off at the end of the hike but what’s the problem with that, my current boots are near on 15 years old and very well worn. I haven’t dealt with blisters in ages even when walking 15+ miles in a day. By about the 7 mile mark my foots in near constant soft pain especially when taking a break but that’s very ignorable and after making camp I just wander around for a while without a pack and I’m refreshed for the next day.

    I went middle of the road with my sleeping pad I got a old surplus british army inflatable pad that had a puncture cut both ends open then got some memory foam stuffed that inside that gives me insulation from the ground when I'm in my bivvy but very nearly gives me the comfort of a inflatable pad

    Foam pads are torture instruments for me. I upgraded to a nice, thick air mattress and I can actually sleep while camping now. For first aid, I have a kit that covers what I'm likely to do: band aids because I will for sure cut myself, a medium gauze pad in case I stab myself, and an elastic bandage if I twist my ankle. I also naproxen for my back and knees, plus a couple of Tylenol. If I have to treat anything worse than that, I have enough other stuff with me that I can improvise.

    I never use a footprint. It helps keep the tent cleaner yet why bother. Cottton is a mistake most of the time. Zero drop runners are the best tool to remedy ankle roll. Quilts have cold spots for me so its sleeping bags with pad pocket instead. All my cool quilts are hanging in the closet now. I go minimal on the first aid yet always bring GOOD tweezers. Reflective ironwire instead of paracord. Compass and map for me. Trash compactor bags are a great pack liner. No stuff bags. See you on the trail.

    I agree with everything here besides sleeping bag. Like you said, it ultimately comes down to individual needs, but if you’re the kind of person to toss around at all while you sleep then a quilt just isn’t going to get the job done. Unless of course you’re hiking in Georgia in July. Yeah then just bring a light blanket/quilt.
    I was so happy when I finally gave up on finding cheap sleeping solutions and just bought a nice down sleeping bag.

  • @jimihenrik11
    @jimihenrik11 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Please don't recommend trail runners to beginner hikers. Boots are much safer. Not only do they protect your ankle against twisting, they also provide protection against the elements and have much more grip and stiffness in the sole, which both helps to carry a heavier load. If an experienced backpacker decides to use trail runners, it is usually under the circumstances that they have a pretty light pack and are fairly fit/well conditioned. I would never recommend a beginner with a heavy pack and without experience hiking in rough terrain to use trail runners, that is just irresponsible.
    Also, I have a second reason for always choosing boots: Durability. A friend of mine recently went on a hiking trip he dreamt about for years. He booked a 2-week vacation on an island with many volcanic mountain trails. On the second day his trail runners broke, and he had to get out of the wilderness. He spent that last 1 1/2 weeks unable to hike or buy new shoes. This wouldn't have happened with proper hiking boots. And he didn't just lose a pair of shoes. He lost a lifetime opportunity and a years vacation.
    Don't get me wrong. Trail Runners are great. I love them for Trail Running, and light hiking.

    People who stay on trails don’t need boots. People who go off do need the ankle support. Step in a hole or onto a root you didn’t know was there and you’ll wish you had boots on. Also helps with keeping dirt out of your shoe. Those are the limited and valid uses for boots.

    Third mistake: shoes... Sandals are a gift from the gods!
    Fourth: backpacking meals - bleh. "You are what you eat" and i sure don't wanna be dehydrated. Cooking proper meals on trail is pretty much necessary.
    Fifth and last: weight is as important as packing size! And versatile gear saves you in both departments.
