In this video I show you what I pack for a typical three night backpacking trip. I also share a few concepts that influence my packing decisions. Packing light doesn't mean you have to sacrifice comfort.
Learn how to strike a balance between packing what you need and packing way too much. Knowing what to pack can mean the difference between an amazing outdoor adventure and a disappointing or disastrous trip.

LOVE that pillow. It is my luxury item after realising I get a really poor nights sleep with inflatable pillows. Game changer really.

For sure! I’m glad it works for you. I have it in three sizes. The biggest is about the size of a standard bed pillow. That’s for low mileage trips, of course. Thanks for sharing 😄

Monday, February 26th: Although I do different types of hiking and camping, (short hikes, long hikes, thru-hikes, and car camping), I normally use the same checklists, just taking different items on different hikes. We all do what we can. Good luck! Happy Trails! Ross08

Hey - an OG Exos with the shoulder pockets. Wish the newer models still had those. Great video Jeff!
@jfowler
@jfowler 4 месяца назад
Thanks so much! Yeah, it’s a classic. With one of the models since, they actually removed the hip belt pockets. That wasn’t a popular move. Glad you enjoyed the video 😎

@jfowler lol good one 👍 I'm used to my 50ish winter loadout sadly... however my last trip to the badlands I started with 10L water... so day 3 my pack was finally feeling better! Haha
@jfowler
@jfowler 4 месяца назад
@SuperdutyExplorer I feel your pain. I exercised poor water management on my first hike of the Art Loeb Trail in NC. We ran out of water the first day and didn't know the next fill up spot. When we finally found water the next day we filled up every vessel we had. We were each carrying 4 to 5 liters and that was super heavy! Ten liters? Ouch! 😅
@SuperdutyExplorer
@SuperdutyExplorer 4 месяца назад
@jfowler I normally only carry 2-3L during day... however this trip I was told I had to carry all the water I needed... don't think the Buffalo piss would have tasted very good! Plus with this warm winter, there was almost no snow to try melting...

Not a bad review at all. If I could make one suggestion it would be converting the weights into kilograms for us too lazy to do the mathematics in our heads. Cheers mate.
@jfowler
@jfowler 4 месяца назад
Thanks so much! That’s a good point. I should have flashed the metric equivalents on the screen when I mentioned weights. I will keep that in mind for the next one. In the meantime, I can update the subtitles to include the conversions 👍

You use the phrase "thru hike" a couple of times. That generally means a long trail and not just a few days backpacking.
@jfowler
@jfowler 3 месяца назад
Thanks for the feedback! You have a valid point. A "thru hike" is hiking an entire trail from end to end in a single trip. I agree that people generally associate "thru hike" with long trails like the AT, PCT, CDT, etc. However, short trails such as the Foothills Trail and Art Loeb Trail are thru hike candidates that can be completed within days. To your point, I really should have been more clear about my use of the term and I will keep that in mind for future videos. 😄

How do you manage to take far more stuff than I do with less weight? I’m jealous Love your innovative pack liner, great info mate
@jfowler
@jfowler 4 месяца назад
Thank you , I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’m embarrassed about what my pack weight used to be. But, painful miles on the trail can be a strong motivator to make some adjustments 😅

My friend, either you suffer from OCD or you just replaced all your gear with brandnew stuff. It all looks if it's never been used. But nice vid and nice pricy equipment.

Thanks for watching! I think you’re right. I tend to have some compulsions. However, the tent has been on just two trips, and the silk + cotton liner is new. My old liner finally gave out and practically fell apart. 😂

Sorry for the confusion. My “thru hikes” so far have been on short trails that I cover within days so I probably should have clarified my use of the term. Thanks for the feedback 👍
