Speaking of size. MSR sell a one person tent with fly that only is as wide as your fly. It's called a Hubba. With the addition of your bag of choice and one of the down filled blow up mattress available it does not take up any more space then your present setup. Have used it in snow and rain up in the Rockies. A separate ground cover is also available but not necessary.
Thanks for taking us on your trip. It really gives a flavour of Alaska and the vastness and beauty. The State tourism bureau should give you a sponsorship!
Not joking when i say this. INSPIRATIONAL. As is all your work. Tying in your building skills with out door living is so cool old mate. Keep living your best life shawn. I always enjoy your goings on. Aussie from the Philippines. Good on you.
Good stuff. This must be a good opportunity to make new videos while releasing all these Shawn. A nice little buffer of sorts. Can't wait to see what you've been up to at the cabin during this series release
Interesting information. I watched your Permethrin video and found sawyer makes picaridin repellent. I use it all the time in Northern Minnesota and have never had such luck. So thank you for that information. And it's safer than Deet spray. I Love these Alaska videos.
Interesting to see your camping setup for Alaska Shawn, quite a bit different to an Australian camping setup. Have you uploaded the video of the bear trying to get into your food sack in the tree? That would be very interesting.
I've never camped and slept in a Bibbi but I'm definitely giving it some thought now that I've seen you use one , thank you for sharing in this video what hiking equipment you bring with you and as always you share informative and interesting content that is quite useful.
Here is a quick list of the items in the video (since they aren't all listed in the description): Bivy (shelter) - Outdoor Research - Helium Sleeping Bag - Mountain Equipment Co. - Talon Sleeping Pad - Therm-a-Rest - NeoAir Backpack - Granite Gear - Quetico 82L Tarp - not in Alaska Food Bag - Ursack - All White/Major Odor Bag - OPSak Water Filter - Katadyn - BeFree Water Bottle - titanium canteen + pot Spork - at the cabin! Ditty Pouch - Frost River - Windigo Signal Clothing Pants - Fjällräven Shirt - Wind River Vest - Outback Trading Jacket - Arc'teryx Hat - Tilley Boots - Lowa Rain Gear - Cabelas - Quiet Pack Socks, ls-shirt, leggings, etc. Fishing Stuff Camera Stuff --- I'm sure I missed items or got things wrong - post updates here!
I love the bee free filter. We do off-trail hiking in the Smoky Mountains. Lots of hiking up rugged creeks. The bee free is perfect for it. Half our group that uses the bf have had theirs tear up after a couple months, but a few of us havent had any trouble and they've lasted a very long time.
Thank you for the list. Very helpful. Next time you do a backpacking trip, can you give us a shot of your sleeping set up? I'm a visual person and this would be very helpful. Thank you Shawn.
SHAWN I'M JUST BACK FROM MY 10DAYS IN EDMONTON VIA RAIL AND IT WAS GREAT,INEVER HAD SOMUCH FUN ON MY FIRST TRAIN TRIP TO EDMONTON AND HOME TO PRINCE RUPERT B.C. I'M PLAINING MY NEXT TRIP SOON TO IRELAND DEC/JAN2019/2020 OK.
i love the simplicity of what you took for a cook kit. and LOL i saw you eating that fish the other day with your fingers. did you find your spork when you got back to the cabin?
I love the OR Advanced Goretex bivy. I do however wish it was a side entry rather than entering through the front. Was wondering if you had the same thoughts with it? Great video. I do ultralight backpacking as in Thru-hiking long distance trails such as AT PCT etc. So my gear varies a bit but your set up is great also for sure. Have to use what works for what it is you do. Thanks again James.
Great video Shawn, thanks for the info. Most helpful. Great series, you should be proud of the content and quality. Just a quick question, what make was the rod and reel you used. Take care Jim
Excellent as usual. Having made my own amateur videos of my motorbike rides and ski holidays over the years, I really appreciate the considerable efforts you make. The endless setting up of the camera, backtracking to make your movements normal and fluid then returning to pick up the camera. Sorry to hear about the camera theft, I assume you used the 1dx for video a fair bit. One thing I noticed in some scenes is the way the SLR’s focus sometimes hunts a bit and one part of the scene is out of focus. Have you considered using a dedicated small video camera? I have been using a Panasonic 920M for a while and it is superb. The new cameras are now 4K but the memory usage is enormous and not worth it. 1920 x 1080 is fine. Have you thought of making a “behind the scenes” video explaining all you camera techniques and the efforts required to make and improve videos? As always, looking forward to the next video
It's so sad to think that camera you took on this trip was stolen when you got home. Well, the cloud has the pictures! And you have memories forever! And thanks to you, so do we :D Bless you and be careful and have fun!
Hi Shawn, I know I'm late to the party. I've been away for a couple of weeks at a friends property and just catching up. Sorry to seem picky, what brand is the canteen you used?
Shawn I was thinking as I do occasionally about others and you may not like this but when you lost your expensive camera/lens and wallet were they on open show, when you left the vehicle? If so and if your Insurance is anything like what we have over this side of the Pond - you will fit the bill for they will not pay out as they will deem you unworthy and lazy! Just a thought I thought you ought to hear. Cheers Mate!
I know you weren’t too concerned about bears while sleeping, but wonder how you would handle a situation where you woke up to a bear nosing around you while in your sleeping bag
I estimate that the amount of time you spend charging batteries and power packs must be endless? We can't thank you enough for the time and efforts you devote in order to share this all with us...it's obviously many hours efforts for each hour of viewing so that we get to be there with you and we ALL owe you a minimum of several hours of editing if nothing else!
@@MySelfReliance Thanks! I've been looking at getting a second Tilley and was looking at the wanderer. your hat looked similar yet different. Now I know :)
Lot's more to life. Those of us that go outside rely on well thought out gear selection and appreciate the reviews of those that use them Mr. James has a ton of life experience and personal depth. Watch both his channels and you might agree.
@@tomwatson8229 Yeah, I've watched, and commented and commented, nothing but ignored. Got tired of being ignored. Yes, getting outside is nice, but not constantly. Makes me wonder if he's aware that there are others on the planet, not just him, LOL.
@@denakerr8198 I think he reads the comments as he answered one of my queries that other people had also asked about if the cabin gets damp in one of his films 👍
Good information. Thanks for sharing. Happy trails to you. 😺💞
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm glad you had bear boxes there, especially the night you slept down on the beach.
Loving these beautiful videos Shawn.

What a journey! Thanks for the run down of your gear. See you back at the cabin. :)
You have such a relaxing presentation style thank you Shawn 👍

Thank You Again Shawn!!! Awesome footage! TY
Very cool video Shawn, big fan!
yet another good video , nice that you went over your gear
This was a cool video. I am liking your sleep set up. I think I want to try one. Love your set up..... Just enough gear😉
i love the simplicity of what you took for a cook kit. and LOL i saw you eating that fish the other day with your fingers. did you find your spork when you got back to the cabin?
Lol, yes
That's exactly what I wanted to know.....finding the spork = blooper reel.
Thank you , Shawn .
Water filter, kah-tah-den. It's the top of the App Trail. Love the Alaska episodes.
Hi Shawn that was such a good video you can call it a book at the back door video hahaha hahaha
I love the OR Advanced Goretex bivy. I do however wish it was a side entry rather than entering through the front. Was wondering if you had the same thoughts with it? Great video. I do ultralight backpacking as in Thru-hiking long distance trails such as AT PCT etc. So my gear varies a bit but your set up is great also for sure. Have to use what works for what it is you do. Thanks again James.
I agree, I wish it had a side zipper, but I wonder if that would compromise the water repellency.
I have coated the zipper with paraffin and a stitched flap over the top of that.
@@MySelfReliance That is true it might being as how it would need a longer zipper down the side. Still love it anyways and will continue using it.
Great video Shawn, thanks for the info. Most helpful. Great series, you should be proud of the content and quality. Just a quick question, what make was the rod and reel you used. Take care Jim
thanks shawn ,take care
Interesting product content. Thanks!
Shawn, thanks for sharing, atb 👍

Anouther great vido Shawn. Very interesting vido on your camping gear.
HI Shawn, which fish do you enjoy the most now that you've had a chance to try fresh grayling and char? Great vids, love watching them :)
Glad you aren't using aluminum. I had wondered. Love your videos!
Great new video. ATB André
It's so sad to think that camera you took on this trip was stolen when you got home. Well, the cloud has the pictures! And you have memories forever! And thanks to you, so do we :D Bless you and be careful and have fun!
A demo of setting up the 'bivvy' would be great!
Good gear mate, Take care
Hi Shawn, I know I'm late to the party. I've been away for a couple of weeks at a friends property and just catching up. Sorry to seem picky, what brand is the canteen you used?
Shawn👍👍👍
Great info, thanks for sharing! Which waterfilter do you use?
Neat camping gear

hi nice show
good
What model of the Lowa boots did you get? Are they the Renegade II mid?
👍
What do you do for the toilet? Do you have a trowel and do you burn or bury paper or bag it and take it out?
Bury it
Your Be Free water filter is pronounced ka-TOD-en......named after Mount Katadhin in Maine.
Good video
#2
Granite Gear is hand sewn and made in Two Harbors, MN.
Any MRE like stuff?
Does the shirt really work?
How did you like the Lowa's?
Best boots I’ve owned
What kind of knife are you carrying ?
MORE TRIPS TO COME BY TRAIN 2020.
👍👍👍😎
Bear spray and a knife, too?
I know you weren’t too concerned about bears while sleeping, but wonder how you would handle a situation where you woke up to a bear nosing around you while in your sleeping bag

I believe the other guy already covered this
Which Tilley is that?
Outback
@@MySelfReliance Thanks! I've been looking at getting a second Tilley and was looking at the wanderer. your hat looked similar yet different. Now I know :)
Sorry should read as wide as your bag and cover.
First👍
What is he doing?, all by himself just traveling? What happened to the cabin? Is there more to life than camping supplies and the woods, just saying.
He's just on a trip to Alaska.
