Seeing this was a great surprise. Yeah, I hope both are well. I'm a pillow lady here, too. It was a great review, especially about the double walled tents vs. the single wall and not to send your winter clothes back too soon. Enjoy the new home, and thanks for the reviews.
Semper Paratus. I've carried First Aid kits for 60 years and only needed them for myself a few times but for others many times. I used to wash everything in a little bit of bleach and hang them in the sun to remove funk from gear. Take it from an old soldier, ponchos are the way to go. If you can find a pair of GI issued ponchos they can perform multiple functions: personal rain protection, stretcher, hammock, a small tarp, snap two together for a medium size tarp, and as protection for your tent in heavy percipitation. The old woobies are great extra insulation(can be put over your tent in cold weather with a poncho over it). River Country has nice ponchos for $10 but, they don't snap together. Nice video. Good Luck, Rick
Enjoyed this and enjoyed your entire hike. It was great to hike the AT and not get cold or wet or hot and mosquito bitten. Of course, I didn't lose any weight either. Hope you enjoy your new lives in Roanoke and I look forward to your next adventure!
Clothing for me is ALSO where I spiral!!! I literally watch gear videos for the clothing! Thanks so much for this thorough discussion. As always, great to see y’all! We’re shoving off from MD ➡️ME in May!
Hey guys. I finished the Pinhoti and BMT section. At the Green Dragon for a couple days. Glad to see you guys again. Get caffeinated 😂😂😂😂. Hope to see you guys hiking again. Go Durston🎉🎉🎉🎉. I have the same wear on my pack Chuck. My straps hit the waist pouches and rubbed a hole. I have since taken a small pair of socks and cut out the toe then slid them over the waist pouches while hiking and it seems to take care of it. I ride my pack high and tight and that is what makes them rub on mine
Hey guys ! Thank you for putting out the gear video! Alot of useful info !! Ohh and Chuck,, LOVE THE SHIRT! Great band ! Listen to them all the time on my pandora station! Hope you do alot more youtube ! 👏👏👏
Really nice and thorough post hike gear video. I have landed on a lot of the same things you two did as well. Validation is great! I got a Zpacks and a Sea to Summit poncho , I liked the Z way better. I mostly got it to cover my Durston pack on the Colorado Trail summer 2024. I really liked it. I hated the DCF rain gloves too but I think I got the wrong size. I can't remember which brand I had first. I literally texted my husband from the side of the mountain first chance and asked him to order me the poncho and the smaller gloves from a different brand. I think it was Z Packs. I do wish the poncho had long arms because I could have left my jacket behind. I splurged (on weight and money) on raincoat and pants from arcteryx. The peace of mind knowing I would stay warm and dry was worth it. I got a senchi alpha 90 quarter zip hoodie and I thought that thing is the BOMB! A small item that I got from GGG that you might want on a different trail with harder dirt is the driver thing. Sorry I don't remember exactly what it is called. You can use it to help you push the stakes into the ground. I didn't always have a rock. It also has a slot for the end of a poop shovel. I never used it for that but it was a life saver for me to get the stakes into the ground and it weighs nothing. Anyway, if you are ever in Colorado, hit me up for a hike. I plan on doing the CT in 2025 since I didn't finish this year. Thank you again for sharing!
Heather, I remember you wearing Chuck's Chicken Leg shorts and thought you should have taken those they looked so good on you! You guys were so well equipped for this, fun to watch!
How did you vlog and get by with a 10k battery?! I had a 20k and still had to conserve at times. I guess having Chucks as well helped. I have a single wall duplex tent and I rarely had trouble with condensation. However with 2 people in a single wall I can see how that would be an issue!!
@@stanthemanhikes2965 ahaha I honestly don’t know because I feel like I should have needed it way more than I did! But this was my strategy… • I stayed in airplane mode 99.99% of the time • I only listened to podcasts offline and for a few episodes (unless we were heading into a place that we could charge devices, then I did whatever I wanted lol) • Only edited one video a day • We also had brand new iPhones so I’m sure that helped with the longevity of the batteries And honestly I never really needed Chuck’s battery either! I was surprised too lol.
I am always amazed at how much gear is packed in the backpacks. I don’t seem to be able to get my pack weight down… depending on how many days of food I have and if I’m carrying one water bottle or two water bottles full, my pack still weighs about 40 pounds we have gone on so many shakedown hikes and have got rid of everything we possibly can and it’s still weighs a lot. Do you mind telling me how much your pack weighed with supply food and water as well as all the gear?
@@jackieonthego I’m trying to remember when we weighed our completely full packs with our winter gear at Boots Off Hostel I THINK Chuck’s pack with a 4ish day resupply and 2L of water was like 29 pounds and mine was like 24 pounds? I could be wrong though lol.
@ dang that’s great! I don’t know why our packs are so heavy… we don’t have ultra light stuff but our stuff is t heavy either… oh well…40 pounds it is and will always be haha!! Glad to see you both again! Congratulations on your new home!
