For what it's worth with no compass, people tend to walk to the right when they think they're walking straight (in the USA) due to 'driver's foot". When driving, the right hip stays flexed from hovering over accelerator/brake, and that's how that leg gets 'shorter' than the other one without knowing it, and we walk in a wide curve because of it. I'm not sure where the leg flex is on European vehicles - right or left - but wherever that hip is flexed over the accelerator that leg will be 'shorter' and their arc will follow that leg too. The only real cure is to stretch the psoas muscle in that hip regularly so both feet rest evenly on the ground and hips are level.
Unrelated to topic but still related to 'driver's foot', bunions tend to form in that flexed hip foot too because the leg is shorter, the ball of the foot drops down to take up the height difference and we subtly walk on the ball of the foot on the drivers' foot instead of the whole sole, leading to bunions on that side.
I got lost on a well worn trail when it disappeared in fallen leaves in Autumn and suddenly EVERY direction looked like trail. Sun dropped behind trees, temps dropped, too deep in the woods and everyone gone home ... I had no firestarter, no lamp, no bivy, no extra sweater (because it was going to be a 2 hour hike and then back in the car!!) . I turned to the dog and said, "I got us lost. Get me back to the car the shortest way possible." He didn't go back the way we came, he bushwacked over hills and fallen logs, and through muddly hollows for an hour after the sun went down, and when I thought he was just following some bllsht racoon trail, he waited for me at the top of a hill. When I caught up to him he looked down so I looked down .... there was my car in the parking lot. Now I take a bic lighter, a compass, an emergency blanket, a head lamp and a small knife .. and that dog ... if a 'friend' didn't hijack him and take him to oklahoma in the night without telling me.
@@whatshappening708 The dog's owner went to the Ukraine, and he gave him to me specifically. To keep my roommate company, he was shared between myself and the roommate. I was between residences but setting up to take the dog because my buddy loved me best. The dog was so happy! :D (no wonder, I spent most of my time inventing ways to amuse him and take him on frequent trail trips, and raw beef :D ) Then the roommate took him. I kept calling to find out what was happening and when he finally answered my calls, he said he was 500 miles away and the dog was fine, but glaring at him. He's an old dog, gray around the muzzle and I'd have given him the best retirement ever, and the dog knew it. Now he's furniture to keep the other guy from being alone. It was an evil move for somebody I thought had ethics. I talked to Ph. in complete sentences, making sure to use nouns he would never understand. But he understood PERFECTLY. I'm certain he had language skills because I tested him all the time with long explanations with unusual synonyms, and then he'd just do what I asked. I could never fool him. We had a blast playing that game. One time I said, "I'm tired and I don't want to go back the way we came. Find me Loop C and we'll get back sooner." He bushwacked and I followed, and sure enough, he got me to the sign post that said, Loop C. This was the first time either of us set foot on this nature preserve. I used to find new hiking places all the time and play with him like that. He loved doing it. :D
Going on my first backpacking trip ever next month. Been looking at your videos all night trying to figure out what I need. I'm an EMT and am in nursing school so money is tight, these videos really help me prioritize my purchases.
My hubby and I are just getting into some backpacking and looking to try something in the spring. This is a great video to get us started! Thanks so much for putting this out. I'm really looking forward to our first trip!
Awesome vlog mate, I’m used to carrying a lot of weight, being a former army soldier. But, hiking is a completely different animal, I love it and can’t wait to get out and about. The only thing I’m working on now, is a lite weight tent. Cheers
The military really beata up all y’all soldiers knees, saving some weight will help preserve what you got left! Thank you for your service man and good luck
@@glenndorsey9068 I know it's been a couple of months but I keep all of my hiking stuff in one place, in a big plastic tub, and I pack my bag the day before so that there aren't any delays on the day I head out.
I got a suunto and it’s pretty darn good. Useful for several things other than just navigation. It’s got a mirror which is useful for inspecting difficult to see areas of your body as well as being potentially life saving if you need to signal for help to an aircraft or someone far off in the distance on a sunny day. It has a magnifying lens as well which could be useful for inspecting things such as if you needed a closer look to remove a splinter or something or to do some finer work of some sort as well as potentially being able to be used to start a fire. It also has a bit of cordage on it albeit only 3 feet or so but possibly enough to help tie a few poles together to form a teepee frame for a shelter. And then finally there is navigation benefits obviously there may be other uses I’m not aware of but having one which is only a couple ounces could be life saving if you need it
A superlative video, along with all the others you have made. Your video series, along with those of Dan Becker, give anyone thinking about getting into backpacking (along with experienced backpackers) a wealth of valuable information. Its almost a situation of "information overload"--so to absorb! This "checklist" is a valuable addition. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing all those tips. I'm hoping to join a camping group later this year...but was daunted and clueless about all the stuff I need to bring. This video gives me a better idea about the basics 😊🌿
I just found your channel and I think it's pretty cool 😎 Thank you for sharing your knowledge on hiking gear and more. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS YOU 🤗 HUGS 🤗
After seeing two of your vlogs, I subscribed. The info is valid and worthwhile, I especially like your succinct approach, so much to learn, so little time. 😉😎😎
My browser is saying that the packing list link you put up doesn't lead to anything anymore. Is there another link you could post maybe? Thanks for the great in depth video series!
Great channel! Great video. Please tell me about the fuel canister you held up. I can't tell what size it is. Looks like an 8 oz/230g. And you said you get about three days out of that particular canister. Is that three days boiling water for yourself only? Or you and a partner? Thanks
I personally had a pocket rocket with an 8oz fuel canister and it lasted me 5 days and 4 nights. I'd make oatmeal in the morning, and a ready to eat meal at night, so two uses a day. So, I boiled water 9 times with mine. I'm not sure how much fuel I have left it in. I'll check later as I'm about to get ready to hike in June. I'll let you know how much is left then.
I take my Inreach everywhere no matter how short the hike. It's my "I've fallen and I can't get up" safety system. Also, I always tell someone where I am going and when I should b back. A quick text is enough. If I am somewhere really remote, I leave a note on my vehicle with my InReach info and emergency contacts and a timeline.
U can use your hand to measure how much sun light is left. Straighten your arm out in front of you, spread your fingers wide with your pinky on the horizon. If the sun is where your index finger is you have one hour until the sun sets.
I suggest a very small and simple sewing kit - basically a needle and a few feet of thread (and a threader) plus maybe a spare button if you're wearing a garment that has them. Also, a pair of spare shoe/boot laces although paracord will work just fine except it's fiddly to get through the lace holes.
Rather than sewing kit, you need something adhesive to patch your rainjacket, tent and sleeping pad. You can do just fine with hole(s) in your clothes or missing button even for extended amount of time.
I like your channel good stuff and I appreciate your style of backpacking even though I carry a little more UL gear myself, but I noticed you said if your just eating backpacking meals and need an efficient way to heat up water the jet boil is great , and if your actually cooking meals then a stove like the pocket rocket and a small pot is something you’d recommend, but I think the opposite is a better idea, because you can use the jet boil with the pot stand to use a small pan with it and it just works better for actual cooking imo. I’m sure most people would agree just saying I thought that was interesting when I heard you say that
@@BackpackingTV yeah I just think for simply boiling water the jet boil is over kill sure it probably boils water the quickest, but it’s just so big and heavy imo. For boiling water, I would suggest something like a BRS3000 or a MSR pocket rocket or something similar. The opposite of what you said in this video lol anyway…doesn’t even matter, at the end of the day we can bring and use whatever we want and I appreciate you and the content you put out hope you have a good night and are getting out there backpacking 🤙
A backpacking gear list should reflect the conditions and style of hiking you’ll be doing! No such thing as the perfect loadout for all situations. Also, holy crap. That “ultralight” 2 person tent is the packed size of my 2-door tent, 20° sleeping quilt, and 3-season sleeping pad combined.
Totally! Hopefully this provides the basic structure of what to take. But every trip in whatever environment is going to affect it. Also, I haven't dove super deep into the ultralight world of backpacking as I'm such a middle of the road backpacker, so I'm curious. What do you have that is so much more compact?
@@BackpackingTV Zpacks Duplex (which is kind of a burrito, their 1Ps pack down into a side pocket), Enlightened Equipment Enigma 20 degree quilt, and the Nemo Tensor pad
He doesn't. The guy's packed titanium and plastic cookware, of course he doesn't cook in wood fires. If he ever runs out of fuel and prepacked meals, and gets lost, he's going to die.
I've enjoyed watching your channel it's less pretentious than many of the same genre who seem rather full of themselves. Of course having worked in Media I don't look at presentations the way most others do. I'm at total newbie stage on all this. Bought some reasonable starter equipment from Cabella''s/Bass Pro Shop. Hardly ever hear them mentioned on anyone's channel on this. Of course when it arrived newbie mistake number ONE! Watched your how to pack and quickly realized the sleeping bag I bought isn't really for hiking/backpacking size wise. I went online to get on of those compression sacks but realized that won't work either. I don't think I've heard you bring that one up either? Possibly backpack is too small I did some hunting earlier this year and went for the kill two birds with one stone. Any ideas on a less expensive backpack as in under $100?
If you're going for a sub $100 pack, you'll probably have to go used. I don't know of any that retail for under $100. GearTrade.com is a great start. Scour FB marketplace and your local gear shops that sell returned gear. Nothing wrong with going from Cabella's/Bass Pro/Sportsman's Warehouse, just be aware that there is a difference between outdoorsy shops for hunters and anglers and gear shops for backpackers. Hunters and anglers often care less about things being ultralight and ultra small.
Please purchase an EPIRB. When on sale can get one for less than $300 (Australian $$). It will save your life if you get injured or lost on the trail. The cost is about the cost of hiking shoes. That’s cheap if it saves your life.
You only need to pack it out if the national park you’re in requires it. Areas like Moab and Zion in Utah where everything is slick rock and sandstone require it. Nowhere to actually dig and bury it on some hikes! Otherwise, bury away!
Hehehe... They always forget the poop bag. That's how you can spot a beginner hiker, they will be holding in their poop because they thought they could simply poop in the woods. Lol, amateurs.
No force protection? Seems like a typical backpacker mindset, and why so many die when their trip goes sideways. Also prolly why a leatherman or SAK is overkill to him. Its not a terrible video, but the packing for a trip to Disney tone is inappropriate from a safety perspective. Backpacking in the wildersness is to be taken seriously, not "youre freinds wont let you live it down if you forget the lighter". Gimme a break with this sorta nonsense. This guy isnt stupid, Im sure when he backpacks in the Wyoming wilderness he prepare like his life is on the line. He SHOULD BE preparing other ppl the same way.
Please: definitely a compass, and a good one. One saved my life a few years ago. It's so easy to get turned around.
And, of course, knowing how to use it. I'm sure some of the people I've seen in the past just had them dangling from their necks for show.
For what it's worth with no compass, people tend to walk to the right when they think they're walking straight (in the USA) due to 'driver's foot".

Been there, done that. 😩 Without a map and compass you can get disoriented, especially in the mountains or dense forest, or both.

Idk why I never thought of that
If the fire wood is wet - rub it with hand sanitiser GEL. It burns clean/clear and burns like sterno - helps get a fire going in damp conditions.

How do I get a paper map of each place I want to backpack in?
