Just found this video mate 👍 was a great watch Paul lots of useful tips there mate. I've recently asked for this type of video on one of your more recent posts so just ignore the request.
Thanks again really enjoyed it 👍
I was the same 🤣🤣
Mr. Messner , I subscribed to your Channel after I watched you get all of that gear in that pack , ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
Question though if I may Sir, If you were packing a Bug out or Survival kit would you use a Different Bag and would you load it differently ?
All the way trough this video I thought to myself, "he's gonna be strapping a lot of that to the outside". All respect to the guy, to get the essentials in, six cans of beers, and non-essentials, camera tripods, all in a 48l backpack is pure genius.
Yep i did as well. 🤣
I thought most of it would go in, but that the tent would have to go on the outside. It's amazing how it all fits in.
I'm astounded you managed to get all that in a relatively small bag! Insane packing skills, a lot of food for thought!
This is me trying to stuff in 1 semester of topics on the night before exam
Prajwal Gowda lol
my kind of study style haha
I feel ya. I once made a powerpoint as people were presenting.
Only difference is that he’s successful and you are not.
My daughter and I were watching this video on youtube on TV and wanted to leave a comment here. It is one of the best ever videos on this topic. My daughter and I loved it immensely, so much so that we clapped our hands in the end when everything got packed in the backpack.
You’re the first person I’ve seen on here that has beer in their bag. And for that, my friend, I will like your video.
You need to watch Haze Outdoors......he's had a beer brand name one after him 😂
Me before video: No f****ing way.
Me after video: No f****ing way!
I bought the 38 and instead of the tent I bought a tarp and a fanny pack and have been looking at it like “How tf am I going to fit all this in to my pack?” then I watched him to do a lot more with a LOT more than what I have and 10 more liters and I’m not so nervous now.
@Hot Red head only 3 turkeys? Amateur.
Dude u just fit 2 bedroom stuff in a bag. Amazing.
😃😃😃
I think at this rate he can pack a 3 bedroom house in a 65 ltr rucksack!
That's my next video haha. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
I just witnessed packing sorcery! No way you fit all that into a 48L bag :D
I've just watched this and I still have no idea how you've got everything into this bag. I've got the same bag and I swear I cant fit nearly as much in.
It is all in how you pack it. I have the exos 58, and about the same amount of gear, and I always have 15 liters or so to spare easy, and I accomplish this in how I pack. Sometimes I do things that seem counter-productive too, like I use a compression sack for my Marmot UL2 tent, but my 20-degree cosmic down is loose in my pack at the bottom underneath my evening/PJ layers.
I think using dry bags and basically vacuum packing them makes a lot of difference
@@neovo903 you're right. I've bought some sea to summit event compression sacks and I can get everything into my exos 48 and even in to my talon 33 now
As someone who is terrible at packing my backpack, somehow this video made a lot more sense to me than other videos on packing. Good job!
I came across this video a few years ago and it made me realise camping or wild camping doesn’t need to be super uncomfortable. Full respect, for carrying all the filming equipment to, so you can keep bringing the content to us 👍
I don’t know why but I found this video so calming and peaceful
This is one of the most impressive things I’ve seen lol. I’m a beginner, and fitting everything in my new pack is tough, also mine weighs more than yours! It’s probably the bear vault, those are heavy. And excessive food. But the way you crammed it all in there motivates me to stop being so delicate with my bag and stuff it to its limits!
you sir, are a gentleman, and a scholar. I shall invest all my money in drybags at once
The down side is it doesn't keep anything dry unless it rains. Everything stays damp I've found. I use trash compactor bags when it rains that's it.
Ok..i've seen the video, but i still can't understand how he can fits all his gear in a 48l bag :D
Mostly because the sleeping bag compresses so well. I have the same backpack, but my sleeping bag takes up way more space so it's a real squeeze to get everything in.
Same. I'm just shocked. I have a 60L dry bag backpack (portaging), and mine takse up more space but equals the same weight. And I don't have 4 beers lol time to work on a new packing system. He even had more electronic equipment I think.
He's obviously Mary Poppins 🤷♂️
The simple answer is "he doesn't". You can see that at the top of the pack is the diaphragm / iris that normally closes up over the packs content, it is stretched upwards with the head only just covering it. Clearly he needs an extra 15-20 litres of space.
All that packing and all he had was one meal. I'm not imprssed.
Too bad there's no filter that converts dirty water into beer
Now that would be an awesome bit of kit
Lol
Yeast is that filter
There is, it's called a can of lager.
There is... it's called a brewery but the drawback is that it isn't portable. 😋
4 cans of beer and a litre of water 🤣 first things first
This setup is for a one night with a walk of less than 10 miles total. I take more water if there's no streams along the way. I've don't some recent videos with a lighter setup. Thanks for watching
@@PaulMessner I carry 4.2 litres of water on my 24 hour trip, I need that much as I walk 20 miles, 10 there, 10 back and it's up and down steep cliff paths, my total backpack weight is 13 kilos
Where’s your hash?
Seems like a lot of stuff for 1 night
@@danieldegabriele7401 lovely camping with a nice bit of hash, the two go perfectly together
@TheMadScotsman mckay yeh, give your liver a good beating!
There room for the 6 pack why stop at 4
🤣😂🤣🎤📍
Love my 48, I used mine back in December on the EBC and carried all my own gear the entire way no problem
I have only done day hikes with a hydration pack. This is really informative and impressive. Love that you made room for BEER!
Another good video, particularly like the tip about separating the poles and tent which makes it much easier to pack. My favourite pack (quite old now) is a Black Diamond 55 litre. I bought one of those 65+ litre jobs a few years back but you just end up carrying more stuff that you don't need!
Thanks for sharing the video Paul, I’m glad we have our beer priorities straight. All the best from Canada 🇨🇦
Just packed up for tomorrow's trip following along with this vid! Can't wait! 🏕🌄
Great video, Paul. I shall be using this vid as a reference for when I start to do some wild camps myself from next spring. Would like to do now through winter, but for someone who hasn’t done that for around 25 yrs, I don’t want to push the boat out too far too quick, plus I need a few bits and bobs first! Keep up the great work. Interesting stuff - thank you.
This man, is a human squirrel. I am both astounded and disgusted by your packing skills.
So show me your video:) he has many thinks .
Jibb you made my day. I am still laughing.
🤣🤣👍
And made room for beer ❤
This guy is using lots of expensive stuff which is outrageous 😊
I bought a used Exos 48 and thought that I’m not gonna be able to fit everything in it, but this guy proved me wrong!
Wow! Great video. Everything was nicely compact packed. I was excited about what to purchase next. Great job!!!
I'm amazed with this. Seriously, no words. Congrats, you did the impossible ahahaha Greetings from Portugal!
Using a drysack instead of the awkward bag that the tent comes in is a stroke of genius!
ill be picking up an extra one just for that now as well
@@howie0243 same!
Your dry bags are genius thanks for the tips could never understand why a 2 person tent bag was Soo big thanks
I love that you could see e everything in detail HOW you packed it! Thanks! 🙏
Just a few small cans of beer...
I once was packed up full but decided to take "some beer", cause there was no shop on the way.
Took 8 cans 500ml each. 25kg overall backpack weight and huuuuge elevation in the beginning of the track.
Just after ascent I opened the first beer :D
sugar? Would just set up camp before I asent, and enjoy all my beers to store energy on my body before the rest of my journey 😄
This reminds me of my time in the military . Out in South America as youngest member of section , rucksack already loaded to the brim .. then being given the 10 kg portable transmission set plus spare batteries and rations to lug around the jungle for 3 weeks ...
I like seeing you actually deflate and pack the stuff in dry bags, or nesting your stove - very helpful!
Glad you show putting in a few beers. I do, and I know other people do to but never seem to add such items in their gear lists. Cheers.
Great vid thanks. I’m cycling from Norway to Spain in June and need some good camping tips. All the best
Paul ,first of all it is really good that You decided to show others what You Know and how you do it , second it`s your trip, your way of spending quality time and your way of doing things you like ,so you should be proud of it . I have never been in UK but I know the weather is not Ibiza like, so if you go spending time in the mid of nature you have 2 options, one is to take only the most necessary things and you will just cross the land or the second option is to take whatever You need to feel comfortable when you stop to admire the views for some days or read a book ,whatever ever else you like. You have my respect and I liked your vid. Keep it going my friend!
He needs to be applauded, admired & thanked for this kind of expertise, collation of stuff & then sharing with th world. Thanks. Its an amazing vdo.
This is brilliant. Not so much how you get all that into the pack, but just some really good little tips for us less experienced. Ta very much!
Perfecto! An absolutely excellent overview of your gear and how it fits into your pack. Bravo!
Great video .. simply awesome how you fit in everything .. I liked how you didn’t compromise on beer .. shows your clarity on the priorities in life 😁 look forward to more videos
Thanks for watching.
Love this video. Great gear selection. Great way to pack for balance and I love the order of where his gear is to get it out quickly, like the tent on top, etc. I like the bag size/weight and he's picked out enough gear to do a two night trip kind of trip. Very handy video for us weekend folks. Thanks for sharing.
Great load out. It all fit perfectly. Thanks for sharing, take care.
Great video, thanks for sharing!!
Great video and thanks for sharing! Amazing all that you can fit, nothing useless to me! I never read so many negative comments and all he is doing is packing his gear into his backpack.
Yes, I'm also just wondering about all the negative comments.
Thanks. I work in a big outdoor store. Very helpful for my customers!
It is amazing how much you can carry with a good bag. I was able to visit the UK for a month when I was in university, camping around most of the time. When I got home, with all the stuff I'd gotten for family, my camera gear, and all my camping gear, my pack weighed a little over 150 pounds, where I was about 120. With the weight well distributed though it wasn't a problem for me.
Great video. Impressive pack, love the side pockets. I like what you do with the dry sacks to the sleeping bag and tent - much better use of pack space than keeping them in their original bags
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
@@PaulMessner What is the brand name of those dry bags you are using in this video?
@@michaeldinnall4684 alpkit
Thx Paul , new sub here. And since I have a 65 litre I can certainly get my stuff in there too.
WOW- This may be the best use of space video on line ........... really well thought out and smart packing---- especially ' the beer " ........... Peace from Texas ......
Them Ospreys are amazing and I have just purchased the Xenith 105 ltr slightly expensive rucksack and the rain cover and I am well impressed with the room inside also the outer room for clothes ect and all the added storage pouches but I love the way you packed your 48 Ltr rucksack and thanks for the broadcast 😉👍
Amazing video, you are a master packer. I really appreciate your attention to detail and thorough explanations of everything you were doing. Great job I enjoyed your presentation.
I'm going on a hike this weekend and I still can't even fit everything in my 65L bag
That’s amazing. Lots of gear in a small space. Good job.
Impressive!!! I need to seriously take your tips on how to pack our bags! Happy I came across this video.
Love the ultralight setup but still fit in the beers. Nothing more satisfying at the end of a long day hiking than a couple beers, well worth the weight
This is not UL
@@christianb8228 Send me the rule book I'd love to give it a read 👍
Word of advice. Don't keep the booze with everything else, Nothing worse than getting to camp and finding one of em has burst in your kit.
It’s beer, yum and everything is waterproof anyway!
I thought you were going to say “ don’t keep booze with everything else, nothing worse than getting to camp and finding your stuff stolen
I can't believe all that gear fitted into that little bag! Amazing!
Amazing load out in such a compact kit. Nice !
I wish I could fit all that into that bag, but mine has to fit a 6" gold sluice, tools and a small gold pan lol.
Good thing about the sluice tho, leave the tent in the bag (minus the poles and pegs) and the channel from the sluice lets the tent sit in nicely, as well as the sleeping bag, then pack the other stuff around that.
Also I have the Naturehike Cloud Up 2 the new edition one, very nice tent for the price.
@William Mcphee Mennock Pass?
@William Mcphee ah, no I am not in the UK, in Australia, next to some of the best gold regions in the world.
It's always interesting to see other people pack similar gear to your own. Top video mate
Thanks. Glad you liked it
I'm amazed how that much went in a bag I'm planning of camping via motorbike your proving to me how it can be done on the minimalist of space 😎👍
The dry bag tip alone was worth watching your video. Thanks for posting.
That's surprising how much you managed to get in the 48 ltr mate, good video pal keep up the good work
Thanks Steve. Thanks for watching. Best wishes Paul
Grand vid mate..initially i thought there was no way you'd get all that in there but they do hold some gear for a 48 litre don't they.always room for a few cheeky tins lol..see you soon mate.tfs..Andy.
Cheers Andy. If I really wanted I could have squeezed a few more beers in but I'm not greedy 😉. Loving the photos from Yorkshire mate. Malham, gordale etc are gorgeous. Did you do any filming?
@@PaulMessner no dint do any filming mate it wa just a walk with camera to scope some potential places 😉 lovely up there though deffo wanna get up for an overnighter.
I wouldn't mind pitching somewhere looking down from the cove. Epic place.
@@PaulMessner there's some grand spots up above gordale scar up the valley where I walked among the limestone bits.be a cracking spot up there looking back down to the scar.
Great video! I'm an amature backpacker and this was a great perspective on organizing my pack! Thanks!
Just love your matter of fact videos. I have learnt so much. Thanks a lot. So informative without being snobby about what kit I need to get.
Seems to be a lot of negative comments here. I was pretty impressed that it it weighed only 13.5k. I started wild camping and walking as a teenager in the army. I'm 67 and retired now and still get out several times a year. Well done Paul.
Nice one👍 other great video.
I am impressed how everything fits in side the Pac,
Do you have information about your sleeping bag? (is it a UK Pacific bag, I'm down under Au)
Well done mate, that’s a great video of your gear and how you pack it! So well thought out processes! No doubt it’ll be an evolution over time!
Many thanks Paul for taking the time to go through your gear with the Osprey. I found this very useful! I have the Talon 44 with similar features. Slightly smaller, but reckon I can cram most of it in. Think I will make a few adjustments though after watching your video. Thanks again - ATB, Ben (Londoner Outdoors).
Cheers Ben I'm glad that you found the video helpful
That is an impressive amount of stuff in a 48. Mine never seems to go in as neatly
Thanks Sarah. I wouldn't be taking that much on a long hike. I'm hoping to do some multi day trails this year so will need to cut back on what goes in the pack.
Hii
I would never take lots of that equipment but regardless, excellent packing into a small 48.
Impressive. Amazing how you fit all this into a 48 L bag. I love it.
Very very nice preparation for log tour.
Very good.
Why even buy a house?
this...
😂😂😂
So you can carry it around in your 40 liter osprey backpack.
@@SpaghettiToaster lmao
You'll own nothing!
Interesting to see how other people do things! For multiuse you could use the schnozzle bag to store your sleeping bag. I compress my bag in the sack and place it in the bottom of my pack upside down (i.e. "schnozzle" facing up) and then press on it a bit more to compress it further before closing the nozzle. It helps for me as I only have a 25litre bag but it could be helpful if you plan to do multiday wild camps for an extra day or two's food space.
Great point. I've tried this before myself buy found the schnozzle bag more difficult to remove all the air for some reason. I think its because its much lighter. Thanks for watching.
@@PaulMessner I've actually left the schnozzle bag behind and bought the mini pump. For a little extra weight, I can leave it to inflate my mat while I busy myself doing other things.
Yeah very interesting. I use the compression bag that came with mine and a down jacket goes in there too. They compress a lot. I keep my clean clothes in a pump sack that compresses well too.
Thanks for the tips. I've recently put together a bugout bag but I was struggling to fit it all in a backpack my size. I am only small and have a weak back and shoulders. I have cut down to what I consider the essentials...paracord and tarp to build a shelter, fire-lighting and fire-starting materials, water canteen and water purification tablets, first aid kit, multi-tool with a strong 3inch knife blade, sleeping bag and an MRE. I didn't want to ditch any more of this stuff so your video really helped me :)
I'm astonished! Congratulations on a great video.
That's pretty impressive packing, although to make it more realistic, he should have also put in a reasonable amount of food for a 3-4 day trip.
That was my exact point! and a bear bag....I am near the AT in Virginia
Well done - however that pack wouldn't last more than a season where I live!
That's f n crazy amazing. I thought no way in heck would all that fit in the pack. Thx for proving me wrong. Worth the watch.
Bloody hell! Incredible. Amazing vlog. Thankyou for posting.
That's real world packing. Most people piss me off when they make it look perfect...
Nice trick about the drybag for compression.
Not sure why he has so many water fiiter?
13.5kg would kill me. Mine is around 8kg now although no tent now.
Ever been in the military?
If so, heard of ruckmarching?
You basically carry 40kg of equipment, then walk for hours.
Theres always room for a few more beers lol
Awesome, thanks for sharing. I love my beer as well.
The dry bags for the tent! Genius! As well as separating the poles. Im going to have a practice run this week of chrcking my equipment and pacming my bag before my forst solo trip. No car so its all gotta go in somehow. Feeling a lot more confident after eatching your video. Thabks!
You need to give a compression dry sac a try for that sleeping bag
I have one. It compresses small but it's more of a solid ball. I prefer to be able to manipulate the shape. It's just down to personal preference I guess. Thanks for watching
@@PaulMessner Yes, Paul's right. A compression sac will turn your s/bag into a hard ball that is actually more difficult to pack around. By putting it in a bigger sac the s/bag has room to 'flow' and move around to fit into spaces
More importantly, severe compression can damage the down
I used to use a compression sac, but about two years ago I treated myself to a rather expensive s/bag from PHD, and they warned me about compression sacs. In fact their bag was supplied with an ordinary stuff sac that didn't squash the bag too much; plus a larger mesh bag for storage
I have another down bag; I carry it in a compression sac, but don't tighten the straps. Just put it in the bottom of your sac, then pack everything else on top. And of course I use a waterproof bag as well - a large plastic bag.
Btw. What sac are you using for your sleeping bag. I've been on the hunt for something like that. But all I find is very rigid almost plastic bags.
If you get that in the 48ltr what you gonna fit in that new osprey pack you just recently purchased btw where has that video gone ? Atb
The extra room in the 70l means I can pack my drone, add a few more winter items and have the option of multi day trips. The video is temporarily unlisted. The lady that served me is a little uncomfortable about being film and being on TH-cam. Thanks for watching
i have a 90ltr but I bring a Nespresso machine
