Bra video och info, jag brukar alltid ha med min ultralätta hängmatta, Cocoon Ultralight hammock med Eno helios straps , bra för siesta och även att sova i.
Nicely presented - I like your style! Some easy tips to reduce weight without spending a single penny include reducing the number of stuffsacks and cubes, and reducing redundancy in clothing and in function e.g. too many base/mid-layers (many of which are heavy compared to Alpha layers), and a pump sack plus an electric pad-pump. I would drop the mug and the canister stand - I used to use these until I found I didn't actually use them much or then actually need them. I think you could already lose 4-500g just doing that. Beyond these ideas it's a case of spending money! For instance, you could get a down jacket that's almost half the weight but actually warmer than your Decathlon, for $$$ though!
Thank you for your kind and valuable comments! Many good tips indeed. I'll give it some thought. It's good with these types of tips where you can both reduce weight without any cost, and then some tips if you've the $$$ to spend!
My tips are toothpaste tablets rather than a tube, and soap leaves instead of a dispenser bottle, a small stick of spf 30-50 rather than a bigger spray, shaving off some weight, even on the ligther items for the hygiene kit. My stove is a micro stove, probably quite a bit lighter than the one shown, it hasnt failed me so far.
Hey! Very nice video, loved it. Could you tell me what temperature should I be aiming for when choosing a sleeping bag for summer and first half of autumn (which is pretty warm usually) hiking in the mountains higher than 2k meters above the sea (it’s a warm region, but it gets colder in the night but i think not less than 3-4 degrees celsius) and somewhere in the colder regions? What would be a Tlim and Tcomfort?
Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words! To start with it is very individual. are you a warm sleeper or a cold sleeper? A good sleeping pad is necessary of course to keep the cold ground from getting you cold. With that, I think one should aim at the Tcomfort and probably some degrees celsius lower than expected temperature. I usually use a Tcomfort of -1 celsius during those periods, and the temperature has probably not been lower than 5 degrees celsius. And I have been slightly cold. So obviously I'm a cold sleeper. I use a single-wall tent as well which seems to be a bit colder than a double-wall tent. Also. temperatures can change quickly in the mountains. My advice would be to go for a sleeping bag that can take, in Tcomfort, at least negative degree(s) celsius. If warmer you can always open up the sleeping bag.
Chill guy, informative video, and since I like the north - liked and subscribed.

Thank you my friend! I hope I have most of the stuff I need. and that I don't forget anything next time I pack.

Tack Michael!
Wow, det låter superhärligt! Jag har inte ens testat hängmatta vid vandring. Något som måste göras!
great load out, I have a really similar setup within the same pack.
Thanks! Good to hear... great minds! Take care!
