Everything I'm carrying for a 5-6 day Backpacking Trip // Backpack Load Out Video 

I always bring extra TP. Lack of tickets will take you off the trail before lack of food will.

Thanks for bringing us along! Bon Appétit & Happy Trails!

Have fun on the trail

I have a pair of older (and louder) Hoka boots with the eVent liner. With an aerogel insole, they work well enough into single digits F when moving. Much more comfortable than a g-tex sock in my experience. They also manage heat better than a g-tex sock. Hopefully your water won't freeze in those outside pockets, or you may want to consider a sleeve for the Nalgene.

I always suggest packing ramen bullion packets instead of bullion cubes, since they are waterproof sealed and cubes aren't. The flat pouch is a bonus space saver, as well, that will tuck in anywhere.

Nicely done. That down mat must have been a challenge to pack? Anywhoo, It looks like you’re set to cozy up as much as possible in somewhere the cold is. I’ll be heading out next week to overnight temps as low as mid 30’s, hopefully no lower. I’ll be using a HG quilt as well. Not as cozy as your 0*, but I think the overstuffed 20* that I’ll supplement with a STS toaster fleece liner will be enough. The liner Is a bit bulky,but so toasty. Hopefully it will lay flat at the bottom of a 60* GG Blaze 60. Happy trails wherever you’re going.

That's a good looking load! I just picked up a ULA Catalyst and have a bit of trouble packing my 0*-30* load. 0* hammock quilts take up too much space!

I don't like the puffy being exposed. They're too delicate. Awesome load out and I hope you have an awesome trip

Thanks for the video. Couple questions would help me if you offer explanation: - how cold will it get? - do you prefer not to have booties or camp shoes? If so, why not? - how do you navigate? - do you have an emergency beacon or something like that? Thanks!

Have fun. Where are you going? Whenever you make it up to the Adirondacks or the southern 100 miles of the Long Trail in Vermont, I will gladly shuttle you no charge. Happy Trails

These trip planning videos are really good and informative..planning and getting ready for the trip is half the fun ...have a good trip dude

Nice. I liked the Sea to Summit bag liner with my old bag. Makes it feel a bit cozier. Glad the Hoka isn't giving issues. That surprisingly doesn't look like a lot of food for 5-6 days. I haven't gone on many multi-day trips so not sure how much to carry. I guess it gives some peace of mind I could probably pack that much all at once. edit: I was looking into that Tarptent Rainbow. Looks nice. Saw a deal on a NatureHike Tagar 1 which has a similar design. I like that you can convert the Rainbow to a freestanding tent with trekking poles.

You made no mention of how much water you'll be carrying. I have to assume you'll have numerous water sources along your adventure & will be using your BeFree Water filter/jug. Be sure to keep the filter from freezing at night. You also made no mention of any GPS or Personal Locator Beacon for that just in case situation. Is there a reason for not including several packs of Hot Hands, chemical foot warmers? I always carry a ziplok baggie full of pre-cooked bacon chunks that I can snack on or add to a Freeze Dried meal - bacon goes with anything or nothing & is a staple on day hikes or overnighters. Peak Refuel is my preferred brand of Freeze Dried meals. Buff Neckware is a MUST have with me item; there are so many different configurations for wearing it & they are all good. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada

(EDIT) 😁 NY/CT section of the AT ? Enjoy your trip wherever you're going!

Tent wow ???????????

Section of the NPT…?

Curious what temp range you are looking at? You say this is for winter, but that filter isn’t meant for winter use and what about water sources? Will you need to break through ice? You also mentioned Bears which hibernate in winter?

Do you have the Ursack Major or the Ursack Major XL?

Dude how is that 30000 mah battery pack so small? Brand?

What was total weight?
