Hardtime finally convinced me to start my own TH-cam channel. I'll be doing more detailed and specific gear reviews there. Be gentle, I'm new to the Internet...
Very cool. Love to see a pack list for people going that light. I could never do it, but it gives me ideas where to cut some weight. At least he does not have to spend much on a pack, that small school bag with no hip belt works fine for his load. Great video !
It's good to hear someone else say that, about the mini light. I've been saying that for years that I don't like head lamps because it over shines everything, and no-one listens.
Normally gear lists are not useful (anymore), but this one actually is. Good idea of that little flashlight, will make that change in my kit when I see one for sale. Subscribed.
I wanted to point out that any comments from this video are from me "Hardtime" . If you wanted to ask Lint any questions you can PM him on IG or through his website. :)
me to outdoorman Iam 63 Iam doing research fo the at but a lt of the light weight gear cost lot ! got go as light and cheap as I can get ! happy trails and god speed
Thank you. Yes I vlogged about 20 days of a trip last month and it will include a few things trail related. I will also be teaming up with Lint to shoot a few more gear related things shortly.
Awesome, thanks for this! Wondering about bugs tho? He mentions he just did the Florida trail, too, which has a lot of bugs. No head net or bug spray, or did I miss something? Let me know if you or Lint ever make it over to hike in Scandinavia, I'll show ya around my neck of the woods! Peace!
The grams of vanity ink would prolly get you a CuloCleanse, or similar... jettison the TP, take up again the TOYS ("Tools of Your Surroundings") to dig the cat hole. You're even lighter then still. Try a Minnesota trip in January?
met you on the pct 2013 at the big fenced in spring ,California desert....humble guy you are...but a rock star none the less. I was carrying about 14 lbs with video camera....needless to say I only made it to crater lake.....thanks for the gear review, I'm buying the poncho shelter and doing another section in Oregon this summer
I like to see people taking the soiled toilet paper with them and if possible there urine and fecal matter. As for myself, I ship mine home in boxes when I hit small towns. Glad to finally see a youtuber who takes "leave no trace" a little less seriously then I do but still at an acceptable level that only needs a small amount of improvement. Looking into ways I can treat my urine on trail and drink it like Kevin Costner did in waterworld.
"which also dubbles as a tent stake"... [i.e. talking about potty trowel]; amazing [!] since i just saw a titanium stake of 15 grams while this potty trowel is only like 17.5 grams. How awesome is that? [And imagine having 2 or 3 'trowel stakes' to use in sand?!]
I wanted to, with all due respect, call BS on your 6 lb pack....and then you unpacked it. Hmm... its not my style but dam that is one light load you carry. And I certainly can't say "yeah but what about this hike or that one" seems you've done them all. Props to you and thanks for sharing. Is there a better bag in the world than Enlightened Equipment? I certainly haven't found it yet
Definitely respect you for that 1/4" torso pad...WOW. How do you get around the need to carry a bear can in Yosemite and SEKI? Do you use that same backpack? Dodge rangers?
Is that a 40 degree Enigma Quilt? looking on their site that is the only one I see that weighs exactly 15.27oz. I wonder if it ever gets chilly in that on the PCT in the sierras. I would think a 20-30 degree would be warmer, albeit heavier.
Yes thats a 40 degree enigma. Everyone requires a different rated bag at night. Personally I have been using a 45 degree bag on most of my trips and I'm fine. However most people around me are usually in 20-30 degree bags.
If your cat hole is deeper than 4 - 5 inches deep the active bacteria in the topsoil can't break down the poop. It just sits there. IMHO Covered with 2 inches of soil keeps the flies out. Ever consider burning used TP and burying any left?
Thank you. Just to clarify Lint has been hiking a few years longer than John Z and by few I mean a lot longer. Very often hikers do tend to carry similar gear if it works. I will be putting up my own gear video soon and its going to be similar to Lints or Johns most likely.
If you look at around minute 6:20 you can see when he unrolls his bag he has about 10-15 liters of space for food. This would allow for about 4-5 day food carry off the top of my head.
+Richard Moran personally for Colorado I would take a full on rain jacket since it tends to rain a lot more out there. Especially during the summer monsoon season. Just my two cents.
Richard Moran I recommend bringing an actual rain jacket and experiment with the umbrella. If you find the coverage of the 'brolly enough to supplement with just a wind jacket, then switch. If you're not liking the umbrella, you have a rain jacket already. There's no right way, ya gotta experiment to see what works for you
Take a poncho and a rain skirt. Best overall coverage for you and your pack. Rain pants are too hot. Otherwise if you don't mind getting wet, take nothing. An umbrella is extra weight and a stiff object. When an umbrella fails, it is virtually worthless. A poncho only fails if you puncture or rip it. I have a lightweight packable military poncho that can also double as a nice tarp shelter or a small hammock for a camp seat. Too small for a full on sleeping hammock for me. It is very versatile and inexpensive.
I like rain chaps: I have Sierra Design Elite Rain Chaps. I do not get too warm, and there are tougher Exped Rain Chaps if you expect brush overhanging the trail or no trail. I have not had a problem with my Sierra Design Elite Rain Chaps.
BeardsWorld great list! I was wondering what trails you might be planning to do this year and the low temp you expect to encounter? It seems none of big names have done the GDT (I'm doing it this year) and I've been trying to get a look into a seasoned veterans gear list for it as Canadian rockies can have some really cold nights.
Jordan Tamborine Thank you. I'll either be on the PCT or the CDT. Not many people have done the GDT to my knowledge but if your going to be in the Canadian Rockies it would be a good idea to have a beefy bag that you are comfortable with. Everyone's different so I hesitate to throw out a degree rating. For instance I used a 45 degree on the CDT and I was fine but most wouldn't be.
Less than 30 attempt to thru hike it per year, maybe due to the remoteness or the fact that its in Canada. I picked up a 10 degree EE Enigma. Good luck on your adventures and thanks for the replies!
+Don H I've never used a granite gear or a virga2 so I can't comment on it. I currently use a palante simple and a MLD burn. These packs are definetly not for everyone.
I've done the majority of my thru hiking in merino wool boxer brief style underwear, but also been experimenting with Saxx synthetic. They have a neat "ball pouch" that I've appreciated on my 100 mile ultra marathons.
It's an ul setup but you carry a trowel and umbrella...at least ditch the trowel. pick a soft spot of ground and dig a hole with the heel of your shoe.
+Trenton Harmon Lint discussed the heavy impact all the hikers are making on the trail and how the trowel will actually better help protect the environment by digging a proper cat hole. The deuce of spades is also 0.6 ounce. The umbrella is a personal decision but having hiked a number of miles myself I found the umbrella invaluable.
Andrew Skurka uses the same method when digging cat holes and he's done some incredible projects. a six inch deep hole isn't hard if you pick the right spot. you can also use sticks and rocks or your trekking poles to dig. it's just another great skill to practice and have in your arsenal. people seem to want to carry items in place of skills. yeah the umbrella just doesn't make sense for me for multiple reasons: can't use trekking poles (which then can't double as tent poles) and you have to worry about getting through underbrush which can be awkward. also, yes it's only 0.6 oz but counting oz leads to cutting lbs! :)
Trenton Harmon I've been digging proper cat holes without a trowel for 13 thru hikes, but recently started carrying a trowel to set a good example for those new to backpacking. Too many butts out there not digging proper holes, and a trowel encourages folks to consider how important it is to do so.
Michael Siaotong for the experienced hiker this gear is ver practical. Although everyone is different and what might work for me might not work for you. Hence the disclaimer in the beginning.
Mylar blankets work as a groundsheet but they don't last long. I tried using one and it fell apart pretty quickly. You would be better off with Polycryro or Tyvek as a ground sheet.
What's the advantage of using a mylar coated umbrella over a regular one? If it's for heat reflection, with walking with it a foot over your head, can you tell a difference?
Before you head out there with a 40 degree quilt, here's Cam 'Swami' Honan's survey of what a number of highly experienced thru-hikers are using. They are pretty much all going a lot warmer than that. Unless you have an unusual metabolism, you could be in for world of misery going so light: www.thehikinglife.com/2017/12/sleeping-bags-for-thru-hiking/
Rite on dude maybe all help u guys out someday been putting my $ away so I can buy some land and build a bad ass hiker camp a couple 16by20 buildings built to the landscape with showers and and bathrooms with a hand built pond rite in the middle be starting all this with in the next 2yrs (REAL THRU DREAM)
HikerJohn316 I did check your web page very interesting I’m a small town hermit lol but really I’m tired of this life and I believe in my heart that there is a better way to live so I’m taking my daughter on a thru hike next yr to get a look at what the AT will offer in the future and form her into a stronger and better women she will be 16 for this trip can’t wait!
It can be daunting at first but it gets easier the more you get into it. Think of food as fuel and less about sitting down to the conventional meal. I snack while on trail so I'm usually just eating something as I walk. Once you get out of the habit of cooking town food will fill that void.
Adventures with Frodo it's not for everyone. I started going stoveless when my stove BROKE in the middle of a thru hike. I had to improvise by cold soaking, and found that most of my meals did fine this way. After ditching the stove, cook pot and fuel, the weight savings sealed the deal for me. Unfortunately I can't eat mac-n-cheez anymore (a trail fav) but I've been moving to healthier options anyways, so I embraced the no-cook method.
it's all the same Bushcraft Woodsman Sur hiking canoe camping camping they all end up with the same result you are outside of the city and some kind way in one way or another you are living in the outskirts of the city so you can try to split hairs all you want but it is what it is
Oooo the fanny pack. We always forget to show the fanny pack. Maybe Lint and I will get together and do a bonus video and show what he carrys in his secret stash. LOL!
Thought I had subscribed to your channel before but just did finally! Appreciate if you could return the favor fellow hiker trash! All the best, Daniel @ Trail And Mountain
The computer generation wants everything as light and easy as possible. Your ability to carry a super light load is less impressive than you might think.
What's with the corny "no one attempt this" warning at the start? Anyone is free to carry or not carry whatever they want including copying this video.... It's not like if they die of hypothermia they have right gonna sue the channel unless there is a warning at the start:-) As the producer has insisted I should not use any of the gear in the video I definitely will not be buying any Montbell gear. Thanks for the heads up...... I was going to ask about your first aid kit, PLB, maps and compass etc. I won't.
ok 5lbs. of gear fine that's great. now with that not adding anything not food or water or anything take that gear and do 7 day bushcraft Adventure but that it's seven days and seven nights nothing more then that pack If not then what's the point. it's just useless talk & Bull s*** that no ones ever going to use or do I challenge to take that 5lb back nothing more nothing less and do seven day and night Adventure
Wilderness Truths I've carried gear like this for nearly 30,000 miles on the long trails of North America. Obviously if conditions warrant, I'll bring different gear. For instance, if I was going to Alaska to travel off trail and bushwhack around, I'd bring sturdier gear (and probably more of it) but this is a gear video representing what I bring on a very specific type of route. Like Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail...where I can easily be out for 7 days without resupply if needed.
Hardtime finally convinced me to start my own TH-cam channel. I'll be doing more detailed and specific gear reviews there. Be gentle, I'm new to the Internet...
Lint Hikes welcome to the internet
Thanks for the video! I like the attitude of always being a student. In ANY pursuit. The Zen "Beginner's Mind".
Very cool. Love to see a pack list for people going that light. I could never do it, but it gives me ideas where to cut some weight. At least he does not have to spend much on a pack, that small school bag with no hip belt works fine for his load. Great video !

Man, I couldn't sleep a wink on that torso pad. Maybe I just don't work hard enough/get tired enough. #respect #subbed
I LOVE the warning at the start! and yea sign me up for tix to a Lint comedy show...y'all could call it Dryer Lint. Nice vid.
Thanks Glad you liked it.
Thanks for teaming up and making a video, awesome!
Normally gear lists are not useful (anymore), but this one actually is. Good idea of that little flashlight, will make that change in my kit when I see one for sale. Subscribed.
+thumanina Glad you found that useful. Make sure to follow linthikes on TH-cam if you aren't already.
My Altras are a bit snug in the toe box. I have wide feet. Good tip on the lacing.
It's been a while! And it's an awesome video at that. Keep up the great work. :)
I just want a video of dry Lint humor like "gravity keeps it on top of me."
Alot of people out there poopin.... just shittin away without a care in the world.
BattleRattle lmao I thumbed this up before he said "a lot of people poppin out there" LMAO poppin without a care!
Most beautiful video about the PCT I've seen so far! Still a dream waiting for me to fullfill :)
Wow, proper good gear and so light! I'm usually carrying 8kg for summer and I thought that was pretty light. Good job
I wanted to point out that any comments from this video are from me "Hardtime" . If you wanted to ask Lint any questions you can PM him on IG or through his website. :)
Just subscribed.... Sent your way by Darwin. Liking your sense of humor so far.
Thank you.
Look up the iridium stove.......amazingly light.....no moving parts......very simple and might change your mind on taking one with you....they rock
me to outdoorman Iam 63 Iam doing research fo the at but a lt of the light weight gear cost lot ! got go as light and cheap as I can get ! happy trails and god speed
If you want to see a pic of the socks at 14:29, pause the video and then press . or , to move back or forward frame-by-frame.
love this gear vid. Keep up the good work. are you going to by vlogging any upcoming trips, gear reviews, techniques?
Thank you. Yes I vlogged about 20 days of a trip last month and it will include a few things trail related. I will also be teaming up with Lint to shoot a few more gear related things shortly.
FYI; never open an umbrella in the house!!
Don't ask me why, I don't make the rules...
13 thru hikes, holy shit
Awesome, thanks for this! Wondering about bugs tho? He mentions he just did the Florida trail, too, which has a lot of bugs. No head net or bug spray, or did I miss something?
Let me know if you or Lint ever make it over to hike in Scandinavia, I'll show ya around my neck of the woods! Peace!
if you go during winter bugs are not a problem.
I was wondering what your thoughts are after using the Montbell umbrella you mentioned, does it hold up?
The grams of vanity ink would prolly get you a CuloCleanse, or similar... jettison the TP, take up again the TOYS ("Tools of Your Surroundings") to dig the cat hole. You're even lighter then still. Try a Minnesota trip in January?
Packing tape seems to be the best for repairing polycro
met you on the pct 2013 at the big fenced in spring ,California desert....humble guy you are...but a rock star none the less.

This has to be a joke right. Just piss in the woods wtf.
@@Mth308 woosh
montbell is some nice gear that is often over looked
Mos Def.
"which also dubbles as a tent stake"... [i.e. talking about potty trowel]; amazing [!] since i just saw a titanium stake of 15 grams while this potty trowel is only like 17.5 grams. How awesome is that? [And imagine having 2 or 3 'trowel stakes' to use in sand?!]
How do those pack straps feel on your neck? They seem very close together
Mad respect for that torso mat, you're crazy.
Love the videos...as far as the button up shirt what materials ya prefer..assume it's poly not cotton?
During the Winter a Light Wool material. Summer something a bit lighter so synthetic of some sort
Richard Moran never cotton. I usually hike in synthetic for warmer climes, and wool in colder ones.
Hi. Great and useful video! Whats the size of the burn? Im planning to order one soon hipbelt less too. Thank you.
I used the Burn for about 1500 miles now with no problems. The pack is solid. The burn is 38L or 2300CL here is the link tinyurl.com/l2xuc2s
I put a review of the Burn up on my channel.
So how did the new umbrella work out? Which one was better, the new or the old one? Still use it?
I wanted to, with all due respect, call BS on your 6 lb pack....and then you unpacked it. Hmm... its not my style but dam that is one light load you carry. And I certainly can't say "yeah but what about this hike or that one" seems you've done them all. Props to you and thanks for sharing. Is there a better bag in the world than Enlightened Equipment? I certainly haven't found it yet
There are definitely different options out there but Enlightened Equipment is probably the best bang for your buck currently.
why has this been in my feed for the last several days
Hows the montbell umbrella been working?
Lint, How did you find the Montbell Sun Umbrella compared to the Gossamer Gear Umbrella? Blue Boy
Definitely respect you for that 1/4" torso pad...WOW.
How do you get around the need to carry a bear can in Yosemite and SEKI? Do you use that same backpack? Dodge rangers?
Edgar Anolin I strap my empty bear van on the top of my pack. I'll post a video on my page showing how someday.
Thanks for sharing! Great video...
Thanks for watching.
I'd wear regular length shorts but I prefer really really short ones...its bcuz they're UL ...
Good info man.
6 to 8 inch hole for poop! jesus, mine rears up like an angry cobra!

Matthew Lucero that is a 40 degree in the video. I have a 20 degree I use for more alpine environments where nighttime temps drop.
If your cat hole is deeper than 4 - 5 inches deep the active bacteria in the topsoil can't break down the poop. It just sits there. IMHO Covered with 2 inches of soil keeps the flies out. Ever consider burning used TP and burying any left?
love this vid man!
keep us updated pls...
LMAO! Who lint or me?
Thank you. Just to clarify Lint has been hiking a few years longer than John Z and by few I mean a lot longer. Very often hikers do tend to carry similar gear if it works. I will be putting up my own gear video soon and its going to be similar to Lints or Johns most likely.
That's kind of like hearing a Michael Jackson song and saying "who's this covering Weird Al?"
Hi, just wondering, how du you handle bugs in camp without a bivy or headnet?
the pack seemed pretty full without a bag of food?
If you look at around minute 6:20 you can see when he unrolls his bag he has about 10-15 liters of space for food. This would allow for about 4-5 day food carry off the top of my head.
ok, sounds good, thanks.
Doing CT this summer...been debating ditching rain parka and carrying a umbrella with a wind jacket.....any idea how well this works?
+Richard Moran personally for Colorado I would take a full on rain jacket since it tends to rain a lot more out there. Especially during the summer monsoon season. Just my two cents.

Thanks dude. I just fixed it. Refresh and try it now.
BeardsWorld great list! I was wondering what trails you might be planning to do this year and the low temp you expect to encounter? It seems none of big names have done the GDT (I'm doing it this year) and I've been trying to get a look into a seasoned veterans gear list for it as Canadian rockies can have some really cold nights.
Jordan Tamborine Thank you. I'll either be on the PCT or the CDT. Not many people have done the GDT to my knowledge but if your going to be in the Canadian Rockies it would be a good idea to have a beefy bag that you are comfortable with. Everyone's different so I hesitate to throw out a degree rating. For instance I used a 45 degree on the CDT and I was fine but most wouldn't be.
Less than 30 attempt to thru hike it per year, maybe due to the remoteness or the fact that its in Canada. I picked up a 10 degree EE Enigma. Good luck on your adventures and thanks for the replies!
Great vid, thanks for sharing.
That's some serious light weight gear.
What do you think of Granite Gear Virga2 as an affordable ultralight pack?
+Don H I've never used a granite gear or a virga2 so I can't comment on it. I currently use a palante simple and a MLD burn. These packs are definetly not for everyone.
You use the.burn in Small, medium or large? Thank you.
I used the Large size burn and I believe Lint does as well.
SuperMartinloco it 5'11" I use a size large MLD Burn
Do you go hiking for months without changing underwear? Or you wash up the only pair you have sometimes?
askan214 I just wash the ones I have in town, or go commando!
OK, thanks. And thanks a lot for showing your gear, it was both helpful and inspiring.
Use some synthetic boxers made for the job. There are several brands available.
I've done the majority of my thru hiking in merino wool boxer brief style underwear, but also been experimenting with Saxx synthetic. They have a neat "ball pouch" that I've appreciated on my 100 mile ultra marathons.
Crass. Nice.

Where do people find those broader hiking shoes? ive been looking like forever and all shoes here in EU are so skinny

What happens if he has to poop while his tent is staked up?
I think that should be obvious...Death!
Thoughts on a Mylar “ blanket “ for a ground sheet ?
Mylar blankets work as a groundsheet but they don't last long. I tried using one and it fell apart pretty quickly. You would be better off with Polycryro or Tyvek as a ground sheet.
I finally found your YT Channel
Thanks.
What's the advantage of using a mylar coated umbrella over a regular one? If it's for heat reflection, with walking with it a foot over your head, can you tell a difference?
There is a big difference. The temperature feels a lot cooler with a reflective umbrella.
Before you head out there with a 40 degree quilt, here's Cam 'Swami' Honan's survey of what a number of highly experienced thru-hikers are using. They are pretty much all going a lot warmer than that.

BeardsWorld: ...aaaand this is my sleep pad.
Me: ....NOPE 😐
ever notice how when one needs an Umbrella there's a simultaneous Tornado ? It's just like when one takes out the "fly rod " .
I missed the part where the bear can goes for the sierras
The bear can will fit on top of the pack usually empty with the buckle clasp.
Rite on dude maybe all help u guys out someday been putting my $ away so I can buy some land and build a bad ass hiker camp a couple 16by20 buildings built to the landscape with showers and and bathrooms with a hand built pond rite in the middle be starting all this with in the next 2yrs (REAL THRU DREAM)

stoveless seems the hardest.

in one way or another you are living in the outskirts of the city so you can try to split hairs all you want but it is what it is
packing out toilet paper is the most fucked thing ever
so, at the very end. when Lint is in the little window, he has a fanny pack. does he hike with that too? his secret stash? :)
Oooo the fanny pack. We always forget to show the fanny pack. Maybe Lint and I will get together and do a bonus video and show what he carrys in his secret stash. LOL!
Yes! thanks, lol :)
Amy B I always rock a fanny pack!
Just subbed
Thanks.
Man Im not trolling but you freaked me out packing out your TP, Im pretty sure that degrades; Now as far as everything else rock on man!!!
Sawed-off...

Toothbrush.
XD
nah...not this one...

For instance, if I was going to Alaska to travel off trail and bushwhack around, I'd bring sturdier gear (and probably more of it) but this is a gear video representing what I bring on a very specific type of route. Like Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail...where I can easily be out for 7 days without resupply if needed.
Thru-hiking is not bushcraft, and bushcraft is not thru-hiking. Different gear for different adventures.
Lint Hikes ... where do you carry your 7 days of food and water?
Jeez, quit getting cheesy tats and use the money to get some quality gear...........lol
What gear would you recommend?
Yeah or just let him be him seems as he’s been using the correct gear triple triple crown might be notable
