It is fun to see the difference in what we carry. Basically, same stuff, but we each have differences. It's good to examine and think about our loadouts and to try different ones. Good video as always Jeremiah.
Oh yeah, the Helinox Chair Zero. Arguably the best piece of gear I've bought in years! 500g, nothing beats sitting in a chair at the start of the day, in the middle of the day, and at the end of the day, and the proof is in how many people will ask you to let them try it. And yes, it sinks into the ground even when I only weigh 60-62kg. They sell an attachment you can put on the feet but it's ridiculously expensive. I'm still trying to solve this issue and my latest trial is using a cheap IKEA chopping board (the flexible bendable ones) and cutting 10cm circles and placing those under the feet, and so far so good. I might reduce the diameter later on to see how small of these circles I really need to keep the chair sinking. And I see you've actually tried cutting off the tops of the bags so a regular length spoon will reach the bottom. I still think folding cutlery is a major pain to keep clean.
Love that little chair. No joke, if there is a limb laying around that is thick like in the video, it's perfect to keep your chair from sinking. I wouldn't buy one of their attachments either
I took a piece from "Backpacking with Jason". He builds houses, but you can buy it on amazon. Just need a small peice. You could cut this one: amzn.to/2Zc2Cn4 or order a different piece. Maybe 2x3 ft or something like that
Nice repurposing of your trekology pillow sack for bear line - I've done the same thing in the past. Those hiking pants look reminiscent of the Fjallraven Vidda Pro pants, but at a better price point.
I don't have one, but that is a great video idea. I use tarp tie outs with nama claws by Autumn Ultralight on Instagram and micro glts by loop alien with msr mini ground hog stakes
Excellent, the better gear lists are what people actually take with them when they go camping. The best gear lists have most of the stuff sized so your dog can carry it. Some cool stuff there going on my Christmas list. Really enjoyed it, surprised you didn't show off the poop hammock, saving weight? As always great fun and cheers.
Just the thing to kick off a Wednesday. Looks like you are having some fun. By the time you get a hammock tricked out does it save any weight over a tent and sleep system? I know they are more comfy.
Lol I honestly don't know. I haven't ever weighed it all out properly. I think they are pretty comparable in weight for the tent and hammock. The hammock is more comfy for me
Great video bud. That lid is your fry pan... I've been playing with a few different models lately. Pancakes... Once mastered on trail makes for happy hikers lol.
Great list Jeremiah! Ear buds are critical! Also helps keep the night time snoring to a minimum.....and allows you to listen to the Hoosiers smashing the Wildcats! #GoBigRed
Depends on how long the trip is. For a day trip: Good clothes, umbrella, food, water, fishing gear, sit-pad, plastic bag for fish transport. It's all about what you plan on doing
Are you pretty happy with downsizing to a 10k mAh better from the 20k? I guess it saves about 6oz or so. I’d like to be able to watch some movies or something on my phone and charge my nitecore but would want the bank to last 3 or 4 days. Thinking about one of the Anker PDs. The new nitecore one is really light but pricey. May be worth it.
I'm pretty happy with it. I still take the 20K if I know I'll need to charge a ton of stuff and often times I bring a 5K on top of the 10K even though it is more weight than the 20K because the 5K is also a hand warmer
Another great video, Mr Stringer! That jacket looks particularly swell. I might have to shop that one... 😃 Bit of an off-topic question, but do you ever use a bivi bag?🤞 I have a bivi-related enquiry I'm needing advice on.
The closest thing I’ve used to one was a one person tarp tent. It has one entrance and you had to shimmy down into it. Had about 25” clearance above your head I think
@@JeremiahStringer thanks for the reply! The reason I asked is because I am considering making my own, purely for the purpose of boosting my sleeping bag's warmth on an extra-cold night, + only ever inside my tent - so it doesn't need to be weatherproof, & only the absolute simplest bag-sheath design; just an open-ended tube, no bells or whistles - & I am looking around for advice on whether a basic sil-ny tarp that I already own would be fine to stitch it from, for that super-basic purpose, since I am very broke. I shall keep looking around. Thanks for answering, anyway! 😄
I didn’t see any trash out there at all. There’s leaves and debris all over the ground since it’s fall. Can you give me the time in the vid? I even did a leave check before walking away from the campsite to makes sure I didn’t forget anything
@@JeremiahStringer 8:19 and on. It doesn't look like rocks as the big rock has moss on it. The trash are light grayish. I am not beating you up. It just looks funning.
And which is which varies from person to person, too. I thought it was a well thought-out, comprehensive load-out to give ppl of an idea of what they might need to be comfy, & they can then dial it in from there. Great content, as always. 🙂
"Gear you actually need..." Chair, sit-pad, puffy, extra-pillow, spare lid, fire-starter? Not sure any of these items are "needed?" Is a Garmin "needed?" Sleep-system is needed and while hammock is way more comfortable, it's heavier and most certainly not "needed?" Beginners looking for minimum starting-gear run from cost/weight, ultralighters looking to shave weight to only what's "needed" scoff. Gear vids get hits though, so good job on that front?
I think he means "to have a _comfortable_ experience backpacking," making ppl more likely to want to come back & do it again. A lot of experienced backpackers do shave down their gear over time, but most ppl don't want to go straight to Roughing It as their first experience.
Great job making this video Son!!!! 💙🙌🏻😊
It’s rainy and gloomy here in Florida, so I was so happy to see your new video popped up!! 👍👍😁
Thank you!!
Appreciate it, Dorothy :D
Just started listening to the podcast yesterday and all of a sudden I'm seeing your videos. Easy sub! Keep up the great content, dude! 🤘
That's what's up!! Appreciate the kind words and support :D
Love seeing what other backpackers bring! No two are exactly alike. Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure :D It is always fun seeing others stuff. Gives you great ideas
@@JeremiahStringer I just found your channel I knew you were a southern Kentucky boy lol. In all seriousness Daniel Boone park is an amazing place.

I’m going on my first section hike next week and you’re part of the reason why! Thanks for always sharing.
That is so awesome!! :D
The Pride of Kentucky!! Whoot whoot! Go Big Blue!!!!
Oh yeah!! Getting that trail time in the hammock :D Go Big Blue lol Miss you guys!!

Do you have more information on the tyvek sheet you’re using? Size and where to buy.

I need to get me one of those fillow pillows. Have to put it on my Christmas list! Lol
They are lovely :D

Thank you :D I lost my one from Hilltop Packs so had to go with the stuff sack lol
Do you have a video that details your tarp setup? Love your videos by the way!!!!!
I don't have one, but that is a great video idea. I use tarp tie outs with nama claws by Autumn Ultralight on Instagram and micro glts by loop alien with msr mini ground hog stakes
Once again another pleasant video to watch
Thank you very much!!

I think I'll make a dedicated video about the poop hammock. A lot of comments about it :)
Good job. ✌️👊
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks Pal, well explained, fun-and As Always Blessings your way from Oregon! ... Mike.
Appreciate it, Mike :D
Which backpack were you using?
I was using the Chicken Tramper 45 L Pack modded to 50L

I think you can, for example, make scramble eggs in the lid while boiling water.
Ah that makes sense. It can be used to heat stuff up while boiling water like a double boiler system
Gear!!!
Oh yeah!!
Great video bud. That lid is your fry pan... I've been playing with a few different models lately. Pancakes... Once mastered on trail makes for happy hikers lol.
That makes sense! I'll have to make something with it :D
"What's in the kitchen!?!?" 😂😂 Super fun!
XD Always a good time out there
Great list Jeremiah! Ear buds are critical! Also helps keep the night time snoring to a minimum.....and allows you to listen to the Hoosiers smashing the Wildcats! #GoBigRed
Lol I forgot about my ear buds. Def need those to hear the Hoosiers lose XD
@@JeremiahStringer hahaha!!! Well done brother! Hope to see u on trail soon!
Nice gear set there man!! J&C
Thank you!! :D
Hell yes I did, I loved U’r video tonight! Ty sir, may I have another!! 😂

Is the MOD on your Sawyer system the blue coupler? I was happy to discover this last year.
That's it exactly!!

1:29 what did you just call me? Lol
XD
Your own merch is the only way to break the gonex curse.
Lol that might be the key
Nice gear
Thanks 👍
I'm on the fence about the chair. If I'm hanging with friends yes, but when solo it just seems weird and like it takes me away from the earth.
I'm with you. It was basically a table for me solo
Don’t let em B*_\^ about ur pitch my friend! Mush joy!
Thank you :D
LMAO, great vlog! No Gomex gear? Jason, Sir has taught you well!
Lol not yet
Is that trash over your left shoulder? What's that all about? Leave no trace? 😲😲😲 Jeremiah, you're breaking my heart!

You look so healthy and fit..
Thank you
I would love to see a poop hammock. Not that I would use one, just asking for a friend.
Lol I think I'll make a video about it
How are the oranges anything like each other? Its like sunset and then neon the next second? Those are NOT the same colors!
I’m not sure what you are talking about, Kyle. Can you give me a little more info?
This is my teacher lol
It is
you don't need half of that stuff, it's a misleading title!

@@mysterylovescompany2657 - Extra pounds do not lead to a "comfortable experience," even if he had caveated his ridiculous title (which he didn't).
Lol your title has to be clickable or no one will watch. You are right. You don't really need anything to hike. You just go out and do it
I hate math I’ll slip you a 20 for a better grade
