Great presentation 👏. Pray tell, how much does a three seasons set up cost? Thank you.

You could possibly trade out a sheet of gauze forTelfa ( non adherent dressing). It is essentialy what is inside a bandaid and you can cut it to size.

That's a curious idea of a traditional tent.

As someone doing homework on EBC your video offers great ideas & recommendations, is pragmatic and super practical. Thank you for those tips & tricks. After hiking TMB Alps 2023 this route involves some important differences.

Take my like and make my slap a little extra spicy

Kudos for a great breakdown of gear and why. Am going to build a pillow and go get some in BC 🇨🇦 :)

Is that exped bag for the pillow the 20L one?

why can’t I play music while hiking. My gear maybe heavier but my muscles are more powerful so I can cary way more for the same effort.

What trip (and temps and other conditions) did you use the fishnet/echo hoody combo to hike with?

slap 'em!

Thank you! I have recently been getting into backpaking and I’m impressed with your mastered light pack! Where are your favorite places to hike?

So irrelevant it hurts

I had the privilege when I was a teenager to do a little hike on a mountain with the daughter of Jackrabbit Johansen. She had a polite word with some hikers who carried booming music devices😊❤️

2:39 Hmm well-seasoned flatulence🍑💨🌶💨🌶💨

Your video is the best review I have gone so far cause were planning to Visit Nepal and will include the Mt. Everest Base Camp on our roster of visit.. I hope you dont mind, Overall spending and budget, as in overall, I hope you dont mind me asking how much it all cost for 2 Persons? Thank You very mcu..

Just a PSA, there is absolutely no smell proof way of carrying your food (at least that you can reasonably bring backpacking). Think of drug dogs at airports, people have tried every conceivable way of masking odors of 'smelly things', and none of them can beat a dog. A bear's sense of smell is 10x better than those dogs. Those bags may reduce it, and maybe work for mice, but you still have to practice all the same food storage principles so it's not making a big difference either way.

If you have sensitive skin, mesh base layers are H-E-L-L. Merino wool is "soft" to people with no ability to detect stuff on their skin. It's softer than other wool, of course, but it's wool. And Wool, Merino and otherwise is H-E-L-L on skin. Like angry red, hives, and blisters.

Hey, they dotted line showing the route up Glenn Pass was super cool. Was that an app?

I'm surprised by the assertion that shoes don't need to be broken in and should "just fit" - I don't know anybody else that thinks that this is true, and no shoe-maker I've spoken to (at least for leather shoes) would agree. Of course leather needs to be broken in. And even for synthetic shoes, 7 years in the infantry, and 10 years of trekking since then, obviously have proven otherwise....

I am hoping this doesn't come off like an off handed compliment, but usually I feel gear list are just commercials for sponsors and change to much, but for some reason this one felt different, genuine is the word that comes to mind. The part about the Mesh base layers really sold me as unique and genuine... it feels with most people are just cycling through the usual same gear or what ever is hot atm.

Loved your video! Just got back from this hike and had quite a different itinerary (partially bc my hiking buddy injured her hand the first day from a terrible tumble). I’m curious about Alabama basin as I look at the map to plan my redo… are you perhaps referring to Alaska Basin? Thanks!

I’m about to do this area coming from kearsarge pass and am even more stoked after seeing this video! Correct you can’t camp at bullfrog

Watch: Casio W800, about $20. It has a good water rating at 10 bar.

I'm becoming more interested in this pack after watching your videos on KS. Thanks. If you were getting a KS50 now, how would you get it?

Thanks for the gear rundown. I've been taking notes all through the video. At 81 I've backpacked enough years to have determined the gear that is COMFORTABLE yet UL. Below is my main gear. PACK-> Osprey EXOS 58 UL light but not the lightest FRAME pack yet the most comfortable I've found. TENT-> Tarptent Notch Li (Dyneema) A double wall solo tent with a with "solid" interior (whose fabric weighs LESS than mesh.) MUMMY BAG-> Western Mountaineering Megalite overstuffed 20 F. W/ 900 weight down. MATTRESS-> REI FLASH 3 season with a 3.2 R value, 16 oz.. It uses Sea to Summit valves and inflation dry bag. Genius! COOK SYSTEM-> Brunton CRUX canister top stove W/ DIY windscreen OR-> TRAIL DESIGNS Sidewinder titanium Caldera Cone with optional Inferno "gasifier" insert for use with wood. (Burns HOTT!) Usually I leave the Inferno inserts at home and just use ESBIT fuel tablets. Matching 3 cup Open Country anodized aluminum pot & lid. All clothes are synthetic or DWR treated down filled.

I’ve honestly never seen someone listening to a BT speaker while hiking. Must be a west coast thing.

u can buy the durable nfc blanket for 2 dolars that is made from 95% poliester and 5% foil and use that as poncho or as alternative use tarp as poncho or use umbrellaw

Chinese cheap quality brainwashing 😅

Amazing video! Thanks I agree the OR echo sun hoody is the best. But I'd love to hear more about making it even better with that mesh baselayer? The one you linked below on Amazon is no longer available. Do you have another one you like?

The pillow idea is so great! Ive always rolled up my jacket and slept okay.. but your design makes so much more sense for comfort yet still minimal. Thank you

WOA ON THE MESH FACTS

Just off the slap promise I like.

I have subscribed to you exclusively because you offered to slap someone in the name of what is right 😂

Although the video is nice, social media has impacted the Sierra heavily. Every trailhead is full and packed all summer long weekly. Just too many people

Please, if you are hiking in buggy areas with ticks and mosquitos bring deet. Everyone thinks they are immune to the viruses and disease these bugs carry until you're in the hospital. Also bring sunscreen, no matter the season, location, or weather. So many ultralight backpackers do not include sunscreen, unless you are fully covered in UV clothing you're putting you future self at extreme risk.

Fantastic video! Alpha pants question. In your gear list you say: "Senchi 60 gsm Alpha - Legs don't need much insulation, but seperate pants are crucial for changing into after a soaking in the rain. If you need to hike in these, wear pants over them; Alpha does not tolerate thigh rub well." Do you mean wear base bottoms under the alpha pants or wear wind pants over them?

No chair = not "full comfort". You will agree in a few years.

😂😂😂😂 you look like Don Johnson

Light and wise. Now, no bear canister on this setup.

Thanks for the helpful gear ideas for a beginner. I feel like I’m doing okay with weight verses cost, the only thing I can’t seem to get away from is a 5lb big Agnes echo park bag. All the ultralite stuff I’ve tried just can’t get me to sleep well or is simply so expensive I’m can’t seem to justifying buying it.

I love that little turntable thing you put stuff on to showcase them. Almost reminds me of equipment screens in video games.

Matt your education proves the lever arm point. I was in the military for 14 years and I packed opposite of what they told us to do. The military was always saying heavy items up high in pack. Logically I said BS, keep the weight near C of M. It seemed very logical and now I have the actual proof. Thank you :)

Down jacket? if it gets wet its useless.

“The tent this year” … there’s your problem right there. My Vango helium 200 tent is 15 years old.

19:40 that is such an amazing idea, will try taking my 6ft monstera next time on a hike 👍🤣 super easy, barely an inconvenience

subscribed! expecting excessive slappage 🤣👍 might throw the occasional stick in bluetooth bikers frontwheel as well 😉

Love the pillow idea. Turns the inflatable pillow I already had from 'ok', to 'pretty comfy'.

Awesome list that you have put together of stuff that works for you. There were a lot of interesting items like the wooden spoon that I had never thought of before. I probably would have spent the extra twenty bucks on a better compass especially if you also use maps on most of your backpacking trips, but hey that is just me. I realize that a lot of this stuff can be pretty subjective depending on how much you want to spend and how much it weighs and where your priorities lie.

You better slap them with the force of a thousand Suns
