Thanks for all your tips. I’m 64 yrs old and I love hiking👍👍👍
You’re welcome.😁
Thank you for sharing reverend, l like your shirt. Greetings from tiny Malta in the Med:))
Greetings Alexander! 😁
OK you answered my pole question that I had about the Plex Solo over on your Plex Solo review video. I can see you used your existing hiking poles. Thanks for the vids.
Yes. The Plex Solo only requires one pole. FYI…I still own the Plex Solo but I’m now using the Durston X-Mid Pro 1 tent. 😁
Man I cant keep up with the cool kids no matter what I do!@@TheHikingRev
Great load out!
Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome. 😁
I love it every time you post a new video, and I also love that you don't prioritize your channel over your family and "real life." Cheers!
Thanks Mark.😁
Very helpful thank you!
Thank you Doug. I’m glad it was helpful.😁
Thank you for sharing your gear list.
You’re quite welcome. I hope it was helpful. 😁
Awesome Rev. Looking forward to more adventures.
Me too, Bill. Thanks.😁
Thanks for sharing your setup, Rev!
You’re welcome.😁
Good Video. Now I need to look at my pack and figure out what else I can leave at home.
I did a lot of that on my PCT hike. 😁
good to see ya rev
Thanks Robert.😁
Awesome!!! The video I’m waiting for
Thanks Mick. I hope you enjoyed it.😁
Hey King Rev,nice to see you again❤
Thanks Adam. 😁
Hey Rev! Been waiting on this. Hope you've been well. My wife and I miss your videos. Hope to see more soon. Happy trails friend. Stay strong! ❤
Thanks Chuck. I’ve been very busy doing family stuff lately. But I hope to get some more videos out soon.😁
Thank you
You’re welcome. 😁
Really enjoy the series on the Pinhoti trail. I plan to hike a portion of it in spring. Keep on hiking Rev, love the content. You are an absolute legend!
Thank you very much. I love the Pinhoti Trail. 😁
I love my Hyperlight Unbound 40, also!
I finally found my “perfect” pack. 😁
Hi Rev. Good to see you again. Enjoyed your hike on the Pinhoti. Thanks for giving us a gear review. Hope you are doing well. God's blessings on you and your family.
Thank you Judith. I hope you enjoyed the video.😁
That's great. Thanks for sharing. The Loksak Opsak looks handy.
Thanks. I have used the Loksak Opsak for a long time and have not had any problems with critters getting into my food.😁
Hi Rev, good to see a new video. Darn Tough socks are the best; that's all I wear. Haven't been out on the trails much lately due to the really got and humid weather and the smoke from Canada. We were all sick from it in June but our son ended up with pneumonia with complications from it. He was in the hospital for a week till they could drain his lungs. He's fine now and back at work after being off for about 3 weeks. Hoping for cooler, less buggy weather so I can hit the trails again. Take care and God bless!
Thanks Ruth. That’s terrible about your son. I hope he’s doing good now. Stay safe. The trails will always be waiting for you. 😁
Hi Rev! Thanks for sharing this. I've been walking the West Highland Way in Scotland last may with your tips and advice in mind. It all worked out pretty well. I've been using a Lanshan 2 tent which is a kind of copy of the Zpacks but much more affordable. Not as light as the Zpacks but It served me well. My Enlightend Equipment quilt was great together with the Thermarest XLite NXT. I managed to stay under 13 kg's packweight.
All the best. Henk (Holland).
Wow, that’s great Henk. I’m glad all the tips and advice helped.😁
Rev, thanks for this video. I watched your Pinhoti series, and that is on my list (maybe 2024 or 2025). I completed the PCT about two weeks ago, and made many adjustments over the two years that took. I think I have the same knife (one blade, one file/small regular screwdriver, one scissors, one tooth pick). I used that and got rid of the nail clippers. The scissors and file took care of that (saved maybe 0.7 or so ounces, but with my old knees, it all adds up quickly). I mainly used the knife for cutting cheese (literally, not figuratively; and protection from the grizzly bears I ran into almost daily - for those who have not been on the PCT, that is a poor attempt at humor. Although I did see 6 or 7 black bears on the PCT and about the same number of rattlesnakes). I noticed you didn't wear sunglasses too much. I bought some DeWalt sunglasses on amazon that have built in readers. These really helped when I check Guthooks (sorry, FarOut for the younger crowd), etc. during the hike as I did not have to pull out my regular readers which I carried for lower light situations. I will have to check out the Nalgene bottle vs. the Jif jar I used. Thanks again and you can be sure I will rewatch your videos for insights! And finally, I look forward to your next hike - consider the River to River (R2R) in Southern Illinois or the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin. Both are more user friendly for old knees like ours.
Thanks for the recommendations. “So many Trails, so little time.” I told someone the other day, “I feel like I’m on the back nine and I’m not sure how many holes I’ve got left.” 😁
You know what, that Nalgene Canteen piss bottle is actually a genius thing. For so long now when I wake up at night to pee, I grumble and stumble to get out of the tent and take a piss - I've been so groggy that I don't even want to get out of the tent and will just try to piss in the vestibule, which is pretty gross. But having a packable bottle and you can sit up on your knees and piss into the bottle and dump it out in the morning, is a good idea. I'm assuming that's what you're using it for?
I might have to adopt this. As long as it's not too heavy, it seems like a luxury item that would save me a lot of annoyance in the night. Funny thing happens when you get into your 40s....
Yes…I don’t know why it took me so long to learn this. I guess I’m a slow learner. 😂 Sure beats going outside in the cold, rain, tripping over things in the dark, etc. I just roll over on my side and answer nature’s call. 😁
Rev you really do got your gear dialed in now. Really thinking about selling my hyperlite southwest 2400 and getting the junction. Mike your very happy with it.
Thanks Eric. …but there’s always room to tinker. 😅
The Nalgene canteen is a good choice. Decided to leave mine at home this last trip, and got stuck in the tent during a rainstorm for a few hours and really wished I would of had it with me, to stay dry when nature called. It will be coming with me from now on!.
Good idea! 😁
Hey Rev, Thanks again for your great videos. I did want to mention that I am reading more and more that it is recommended to fold/roll DCF shelters instead of stuffing them as repeated stuffing over time is causing more degradation of the DCF's outer mylar layers that sandwich the super-strong cross-woven threads.
Thanks. Yeah, I’m still trying to decide what to do. 😁
Wow, great to see you out there! Do you cook (stove) or soak or? Also, I agree with the ear phone issue. I've switched to Aftershokz head set. Nothing in the ears at all. No cords to get stuck on branches and can hear all around me. Best of luck and thanks for the info!
You’re welcome. I just carry food that does not require any preparation at all.
I’m going to have to check out those headphones.😁
Since you didn't cook or cold soak, could you maybe give a rundown of what you ate on the trail? Great informative video & God Bless.
Beef sticks, salami, pepperoni, cheese sticks, block of cheese, protein bars, honey bun, crackers, dried fruit, nuts, trail mix, instant mash potatoes (add water to the package), instant oatmeal (same as mash potatoes, etc.
@@TheHikingRev Thanks! Your cardiologist better not read this!! lol
@@sdc4405 😂😂😂That’s the truth!
Thanks for this gear video! I have followed you before during and now after your PCT hike and really enjoy your vlogs!! I am EXTREMELY low tech but wondering (I may have missed?) if you have ever done a very detailed (for very low tech like me) description of exactly how you do the whole TH-cam vlog process - don’t want you to repeat if you have done before as I could look it up?! I am leaving on my AT Thru HIKE attempt this coming February and would like to do a TH-cam vlog but don’t have a clue after taking pictures and videos with my iPhone 11!!? I would sure appreciate it! Take care and God Bless and thanks again for your vlogs.
Or maybe you could point me in the direction of somewhere else where I could get a vlogging for dummies explanation?
Hey Mike. Thanks for following along. I hope the Vlogs have been helpful as well as enjoyable.
I have a video on recording your hike. I’ll leave the link here. th-cam.com/video/Sk5h9w1lOmM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=GsnbMsFVRKvZCanI
If you have any other questions, let me know. 😁
Thanks! I googled and found a MUCH BETTER video on how to edit than the one I watched before and I am already 100% further along. Have A LOT more to learn but have learned enough to edit and make a finished video! Thanks for all of your help! God Bless in Ireland, if you are still there.
Hi Rev. You didn’t use a stove on the Pinhoti? (not on the video/gear list). Thanks for showing us your gear!
I quit carrying a stove on the last part of my PCT thruhike and haven’t used one since. 😁
Hi, Rev! I've following your channel for some time now and wish to compliment you for the high level content and also for the editing, professional like! Regarding your shoe, I did a quick research and found out that it's a zero drop shoe. Is this something that you find important? Congrats from Brazil, I'm 55 years old and next month will be doing my first thru hike, just 20 miles in 3 days.
Good for you Alberto! Good luck on your Thruhike. Just take time to “smell the roses.”
I love the “zero drop” Altra Lone Peak shoes. They make my feet feel more direct contact to the ground/trail. 😁
Great to see you Rev! I have z pack solo plex which I have never used. I bought it 2016, not blue color. Can you do video on how to set up? I could never be able to set up…😢
Thanks. I hate that you never got to set it up. I do have a video on that tent of which I will leave a link.th-cam.com/video/lqO35EwgEvs/w-d-xo.html Hopefully it will help.
You are the best! I appreciate you!
It was already set up. I need help see when you pull out of backpack and setting up the whole process if possible.
Great video. I’ve always wanted to know what gear you used.
Thanks Mark. I hope it helped.😁
Rev, on an Eastern hike with rain often how did you cope sleeping at night. I realized this was a warm weather hike so you could go buff in the quilt if your hike clothes were soaked. I have always taken light weight long bottoms and long sleeve tee. Keeps my dirty body off the sleeping bag. You can, if its true, reassure me I don't need a dry set of nightime
Hey genelucky4002. You don’t need a dry set of night clothes to sleep in (unless you just want to carry them). I wear a rain jacket and pants to keep my hiking clothes dry if it rains. If they get wet, they dry quickly. Your sleeping bag/quilt is going to get dirty. Just get it professionally cleaned when you get home. In fact, EVERYTHING is going to get dirty on a Thruhike. Just wear your hiking clothes to sleep in at night. You don’t have to change clothes when you go to bed or wake up and you don’t have to carry an extra set of clothes (again, unless you just want to).
Hi Rev,
I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now. I also had a heart “event” that required open heart surgery and have been hiking for the past two years. Thank you for the inspiration!
My question is, what was your total pack weight, minus food and water? I’m right about 14 lbs base weight, but could drop some weight with a new pack and a quilt. I hope you meet you on a trail someday.
Hey Jeff. I’d be honored to meet you.
I’ll leave the link to my lighterpack.com gear list of the gear I took with me on the Pinhoti Trail. Perhaps you can get some ideas from it. lighterpack.com/r/z69hum
Enjoying your videos. I’m starting the Pinhoti trail soon. I saw where you were walking in water. Do you have water proof socks or do you just walk with your darn tough socks wet? Thanks!
Hey Patrick. Thanks. I just walk through the streams/creeks/rivers with my shoes on. (I tried walking ON the water but it didn’t work. 😂) They dry out quickly while you hike.
Another good video. How much does all that weigh?
Thanks. 9.6 pounds. 😁
Hi Rev, good video, liked all the info. Have you looked into aftershockz type bone conductor earphones? No cables and you can hear everything around you. Water proof, long battery life and very quick charging times! Game changer for hiking, running and biking. Definitely worth a look based on what you said about headphones. What was the dog deterrent device you used?
Thanks. I’ll check it out. I’ll leave a link to the dog deterrent.MODUS Bark Control Device - Anti... www.amazon.com/dp/B07WJ1DHLB?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
@@TheHikingRev perfect thanks!
It seemed to work well
Hi Rev, love following your adventures. I’m thinking of getting the Unbound 40, what is your opinion of that pack? Thanks
Thanks. I love the Hyperlite Mountain Gear, Unbound 40 pack. It feels like I finally found the pack I had been looking for. 😁
Great Video Rev. I thought you had a box of rotisserie chicken in your food bag. 😄
I like the pee bottle idea. I am currently, and have for a year now, used a KFC to go tea bag I received with my take home order of chicken. It has been working great. It also is a pee bag in disguise. People see you coming out of the woods and think I just ran down to the local KFC to get some tea. 🤔 I should write on it, DO NOT DRINK! ☠️
I do have one thing I would like to ask you. Knowing we both have had major heart issues, and approximately the same age, I was wondering what your trail diet like on the Pinhoti? I need to rethink what I eat while on the trail. Thank you.
Wow. That sounds like a great idea. Yeah it would be pretty bad if you got it mixed up. 😂
I don’t eat the most healthy things while on trail, but I try to cut out as much sugar as I can and eat plenty of protein. My heart problems were not related to lifestyle or diet. It was strictly hereditary.
@@TheHikingRev I understand the heart thing. Mine is hereditary. My whole family has or has heart disease. Thanks for responding. Hike on!
Hey Rev, that Hyperlite Unbound 40l BP; how does it compare to the other packs you have used? Can you compare it to the others that you started with on the PCT and what was the primary factor for choosing the HyperLite Pack?
Thanks Mark. I will be doing a backpack selection video as soon as I can.😁
Thanks! What about the device you used to repel the barking dogs? What was that?
You’re welcome Jeffery. I’ll leave the link here. MODUS Bark Control Device - Anti... www.amazon.com/dp/B07WJ1DHLB?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Hey Rev , need to know where you got the pee bottle. Can’t find one I looked up Nalgene canteen but weren’t collapsing

Milliampèrehours or Milliwatthours for energy...Hertz means a frequency.
Sorry about that. I am electronically challenged.😁
@@TheHikingRev No prob!
Dear Rev. Something that concerns me as a Swiss (we are neurotically tidy people, but never mind): How do you survive with only one shirt and shorts, apparently not even underwear? Are you camping lonely 100%, or are you also spending time with other people, maybe in a mountain hut in the evenings thereby exposing them to your olfactory emissions?
Hey Daniel…hopefully I can relieve some of your neurotic concerns. 😁
1. I laundry my hiking shorts and shirt, along with socks, buff and pillow case when I go into a trail town to resupply. Usually every 3 to 5 days. I do not need multiple suits of clothes. (I hope that’s not too untidy for you). 😁
2. My hiking shorts have a built in liner (similar to swimming trunks) which eliminates the need for underwear.
3. When I Thruhiked the 2,653.1 mile (4,269.75 km) Pacific Crest Trail in 2020, the 350 mile (563.27 km) John Muir Trail in 2022 and the 353.1 mile (568.26 km) Pinhoti Trail in 2023, I hiked/camped with other people about 15% of the time.
4. When I camped/hiked by myself I was NEVER alone.
5. I have NEVER stayed in a Mountain Hut.
6. Since I sleep in a one man tent, I get to enjoy my olfactory emissions ALL BY MYSELF. 🤢
@@TheHikingRev Ok, I assume that you are kind to others and spend those 3 to 5 days mostly lonely. When I hike and sweat, a normal shirt becomes smelly after only one day. However, there exist T-shirts made from Merino wool from New Zealand (brand Icebreaker, but there are also others). They are very comfortable to wear, not scratchy as one might expect from wool. Wool inhibits the growth of bacteria, and I may wear these shirts two, maybe three days before they also become smelly. They cost about twice as much than shirts made from artificial fibres, but for me it is worth it. It is important that they are made from pure Merino wool, as soon as artificial fibres are blended in they tend to become smelly more rapidly.
Hey Thanks we carry the same gear brother keep on humping
Thanks Bill. Great minds think alike.😁
Just wondering if you cold soaked on this adventure?
Hey Douglas. No, I just ate food that did not need any preparation. Although I did pig out on southern food when I got into a trail town.😁
You must have Tyrannomosquitos there...in Europe you won't bleed after mosquitobites.
Yes, we do Daniel.🦟
@@TheHikingRev Godness me, I will never go hiking in the US. And then these rattlesnakes, copperheads, bears, poison ivy and stuff...
No stove?
No stove. Didn’t need one.😁
Interesting...list shows that you have no toilet paper, and no bidet. That makes me wonder...how? As a retired mailman, I have plenty of postal dog spray that I take hiking
No need for toilet paper when God provides leaves, grass, sticks, rocks, etc. I also use a bidet. I guess dog spray would’ve been good, but I wanted the owners to wonder what was going on with their dog.😁
No toilet paper?
Why carry toilet paper when you have leaves, rocks and sticks for free? 😂 Just be careful what kind of leaves you use. 😁
@@TheHikingRev I knew that was what you would say! Hey, every ounce counts! LOL
