    Thanx for the gear break down. It was nice hearing about what worked. It’s so surprising to hear about people that can make the whole trail without a punctured sleeping mat. There was one guy that used an Thermo Rest Uber light the whole trail without a single leak. He too had a Tyvek ground sheet. Happy trails…

    Wonderful review Ash! Loved the stuff your buff with your puffy for a pillow! May try that next trip! Loved the turkey bag idea. I also dislike the Opsak since they don't have a very long life, but I do use them; just have to keep re-ordering. Super lightweight idea using tin foil to abate the wind issue when cooking! Your fruit shirts were the best - great way to identify your trail family - the "FUN" ones! Pretty impressed that you brought your OMM rain pants all the way back home in their shredded condition...you were thinking ahead for doing this review, I'm sure! And the best thing is that the curly ribbons made it all the way back on your pack! 🙂

      Thanks for the comment Maureen! Hehe yesss the ribbons on my pack are the best part, I can’t believe I forgot to mention them in the video! Those rain pants were so torn to shreds I had to keep them as a souvenir, a visual representation of what 2000miles looks like 😂

    What a great review! I'll take a couple of your gear choices for my next hike, thank you! One recommendion I have is to use the Lixada 10W Solar Panel, it weighs just 2.82 ounces (80 grams!!!), highly recommemded for hikers. Just a heads up - the USB port comes off easy when hot, so add superglue around the USB port and it will never ever come off throughout the whole 3 - 6 months hike! With the superglue it weighs 2.9 ounces, thats under 3 ounces for a good solar panel. Compared to so many other panels out there which weigh around 1 pound, this one is a gem.

    • @ashobrienoutdoors
      @ashobrienoutdoors  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the comment :) I have the lixada one as well but found the decathalon one was a lot more efficient , maybe even twice as efficient when I did a few tests. It also performs better in cloud so I figure it was worth the weight penalty although if I was doing the desert section again I think I’d give the lixada a go as it seemed to never not be sunny! Haven’t glued mine yet so I’ll give that a go, thanks for the tip! Ash

    • @ashobrienoutdoors
      @ashobrienoutdoors  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @ashobrienoutdoors  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi there, thanks for watching! The holder was by PricklyGorse on Etsy , I had a look there and doesn’t look like they make them any more which is sad cause I was hoping to order another! Maybe they will come out again at some point , fingers crossed!

    @Escapedbydegree 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hey Ash, you should come back and do Sierras! Looks like it 2014 may be a low snow year. You can get the John Muir Trail done in 3 weeks.

    • @ashobrienoutdoors
      @ashobrienoutdoors  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Ohhhh I want to so bad!! But with factoring in travel time, getting to trail etc the time would mount up and after taking 6months of work I wouldn’t be able to get the time to do the JMT. I will 100% get to it at some point :) I’m hiking the AT next (2025) because I will likely have a break in work contracts so it’s my best chance to do a 2000+ mile trail again, and the PCT Sierra section I can chip away at with my holidays over time :)

    • @DartmoorPaul
      @DartmoorPaul 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Awesome. I did wonder about this especially watching Huck SOBO. His videos (around #65 if you havent’ yet watched) are amazing in the Sierras and I’m sure will inspire you to return, I don’t think I’ll leave if I go there 😂

    • @ashobrienoutdoors
      @ashobrienoutdoors  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi there :) I just set my MSR tent up and placed it on the tyvek then drew round it with a sharpie so I’m not sure of the exact size. You could do the same or find your tent dimensions and then go a little bigger and you can always cut it down :) best to have it no bigger than the overall size of the tent so if it rains it doesn’t pool on the tyvek. Goodluck in 2025!
