Good stuff. That pack looks great. Skill set is super important. I find overnighted to be do-able when you’re a family man/woman and a great opportunity to practice skills with low risk.
Of subject, I noticed your also wearing the INOV-8 G300. I currently use them for trail running, and have notice toenail issues even though they are sized up. I believe due to the over structured toe cap. What are your thoughts, thanks in advance. Great content well received…
@@BackpackingLightUSA I can go with the person holding the camera having a hiking pole or 2 (likely needed for their tent as well), but using sticks and trees for the Hexamid.... No way 1/ You'd have to find or cut a piece of wood the exact right height needed (no saw or knife shown in the load out) 2/ It's a DCF roof i know i'd sooner walk home again than use a stick to prop up my DCF shelter unless in a absolute dire emergency 3/ Stick + DCF + incoming storm........ 4/ Hexamid doesn't have peak loops 5/ If you left home intending to use trees/sticks to prop up the tent, why did you bring pegs?
There's nothing particularly sophisticated or unique about Sarek Gear packs. They are reasonably well-made, use high-quality materials, are a seemingly reputable cottage brand, and offer good organization (pocket) options. They will comfortably carry loads up to about 20-25 pounds for most people.
In this video, Ryan's using a Katabatic Gear Chisos 40 *F down quilt - but that's discontinued. An equivalent quilt would be something in the 30 *F range from Enlightened Equipment like this one, which is one of our favorites: backpackinglight.com/gear/enlightened-equipment-enigma-quilt/
This seems like a city-pack that wants to be an overnight bag and makes some bad trade-off to get there. Mesh side pockets, no bottom pocket, and heavier fabric. Seems like the Atom 30 would fit this role better.
