My favorite is Coleman 8 person tent I have. Great for my family.

@cameronsmith4503 Год назад

What a great giveaway & video to announce it. You guys are hilarious! Love the honest input on the products. My favorite piece of gear is my North Face Cat’s Meow sleeping bag, absolutely love it. I get cold and this bag keeps me so warm, it packs down relatively small as well!!

@DannyJSchaefer Год назад

Aha thank you!! North Face makes some awesome gear! Thanks so much for the support! This comment gives you one entry into the giveaway!

Congrats on your subscriber count! Way to go! My favorite piece of gear is definitely my REI 30° quilt! I always hated sleeping bags, and the quilt made sleep so much better for me!

Congrats on 2k+ subscribers Danny! Very well deserved man! It's definitely been awesome to see your channel growing... and an honor to be a supporter/sub of the channel as well! You'll definitely be seeing more subs with the excellent content that you put out here brother! As far as a favorite piece of hiking/backpacking gear (whew... that's a tough one! haha): I'm gonna have to go with my trusty ol' Ribz Front Pack. It's been with me on so many trips over the years that it feels weird when I don't bring it along :/ How awesome that all of these great companies are supporting this giveaway by the way! Not to mention you throwing in that Garmin... now that's a generous (and thoughtful) prize man! All of my best to you and Tessa!

@DannyJSchaefer Год назад

Man thank you so much John! I'm so thankful to have you as a supporter to the channel, and each comment really means the world. I'd love to take this farther so your words are very motivating. Oh man.. I'll have to see if I can find the front pack you're referring to in some of your videos! I love my little front pack that I carry around as well. We had some truly amazing sponsors of this one, and I can't wait to send them out to everyone. Thanks again! Also this counts as one entry into the giveaway!

Favorite piece of gear at the moment has to be my Chicken Tramper CTUG-15 pack 😊 I've been using it for winter scrambles, fastpacks, and general day hikes. When that pack comes out it's gonna be a good day!

@DannyJSchaefer Год назад

@DannyJSchaefer Год назад

Hey thanks Sami!! Again, I'm stoked to have a local North Idahoan apart of this! Yeah I love my Garmin as well.. and a good electrolyte mix!

@jt4934 Год назад

My favorite gear is probably my trekking poles. I only gave them a try for the first time a few years ago and I'm kicking myself for waiting so long. The lighter, the better, but I'd take my heavy, cheap, trial set out again over none at all.

@dirk4926 Год назад

What is my favorite gear? A few years back I got my first pair of Scarpa boots. I had always worn Vasque boots before, but when Vasque moved production to China, they no longer fit properly and I tried Scarpas. What amazing boots, right out of the box I can put them on and hike blister free. Vasque were good but always required a break in period. Hiking, backpacking or just walking around town, I love Scarpa boots.

@DannyJSchaefer Год назад

Awesome! Maybe those will make for my next pair of hiking boots. As always thanks for the support Dirk! This comment gives you one entry into the giveaway!

@UsefulFarmer349 Год назад

Congrats on 2000! My favorite piece of backpacking gear is my tried and true Sierra Designs tent that I bought back in 2011. It’s been through probably 365 nights of use and the only issue has been a splintered pole. Have had multiple other tents since, but always pull that one out when I’m alone at a campground or on a backpacking trip with my partner. Of course that makes Sierra Designs my favorite company. Followed by Salomon for their bulletproof hiking boots.

@DannyJSchaefer Год назад

My favorite backpacking gear item would definitely be my osprey atmos pack. I know they get a lot of hate for being non-ultralight, But they are so comfortable and they last so long! I’ve had mine since 2014 and I plan to take it on the AT in 2024!!

@DannyJSchaefer Год назад

Love my old Osprey pack! It was an hand-me-down that I started with, and it's an old school 70L Aether I believe. They may not be true ultralight, but they're so durable like you mentioned.

Favorite piece of gear = my AppGearCo alpaca hoodie - it is amazingly warm and comfortable. Brand....Hmmm. I'm going to go w/Duckworth, I have scads of their stuff. From your Vid I would say the Helinox chair, never carried one and have been hesitant to pull the trigger based on the pricepoint

@DannyJSchaefer Год назад

Love it! Yeah my mind has been changed with the chair. It's a real luxury item, but I can't do long trips anymore without it. Thanks for the support! This comment gives you one entry into the giveaway!

Congrats on 2000 subscribers!! My favorite gear item on my wishlist is the Garmin inreach. I prefer more remote hikes, but I am a little apprehensive as a woman alone in the woods. Thanks for putting together such a great giveaway! ~Lynnette

Thank you Lynnette! I hope you can win this Garmin inReach. I think they make for a really great safety net when out on the trail. Thanks for the support! This comment gives you one entry into the giveaway!

Congrats on 2k! I saw your channel from Dandee and I've been binging some of your videos now, keep it up you'll get to 20k in no time! My favorite piece of gear is my thermarest xtherm pad. But my favorite brand would be either enlightened equipment or outdoor research!

@DannyJSchaefer Год назад

Hey man thanks so much for the support and for the sub! I'm stoked that you saw the post from Dandee! I bought a custom pack from him last year and he makes some really awesome gear. This gives you one point for the giveaway. Good luck!

@@DannyJSchaefer I'm hoping to get a custom pack from him this year for my upcoming AT hike. I love his designs!

Congratulations on the 2,000 though I’m not surprised due to your channel content. My most favorite gear (at the moment lol) would be my Arc Haul Ultra 60L. Favorite brand is a tie between Zpacks & Enlightened Equipment.✌️

Not necessarily a backpacking specific item but the one thing that I will forever take with me is my drone. I started backpacking with the DJI Mini 2 last year after a decade of dreaming of taking a drone backpacking. The amount of happiness I find where nature and creativity collide is only rivaled by seeing it all in person first hand. As a hobby creator I will always admire the hard work it takes for digital creators to grow their pages like you have. This channel is a hidden gem so I'm happy to see it gain a foothold! Congratulations on 2k!

@DannyJSchaefer Год назад

I hear you with the drone! Being able to hike into a place is one thing, but then to have the ability to fly hundreds of feet in the air to see that view from a different perspective is truly amazing. I 100% agree with you here. Thank you so much Kate for the kind words and continued support - it means the world! This comment gives you one entry into the giveaway!

Congrats on 2K! Loving your content. The best piece of gear has to be my rechargeable air pad pump, Giga Pump 2.0. It’s a game changer for multiple nights! Favorite brand has to be Stone Glacier as it is in the hunting world.

@DannyJSchaefer Год назад

Thanks Rick!! I have a rechargeable air pump as well, and they make inflating the sleeping pad a breeze. This comment counts for an entry into the giveaway.
