Not the Backpacking video I had in mind... | Let's go over my Beginner Overnight Backpack Gear! 

It's smart to always have a Satellite Communicator when you're out on the trails. Money can be spent on so much needless gear and this one is something people shouldn't avoid having. Looks like you have a good collection of gear! Nothing stopping you from getting out there now😁

Hello from Naples, Florida. Very nice! A lot of useful gear, for sure. Thanks for sharing with us, have a great week 👍 💯 ❤

Enjoyed seeing all your gear. Hope you get some nice weather and can go put all of this to the test.

wow Darcy....you're all set now! I look forward to seeing some of your future thru hiking videos!

The volume may be all over the place. I had headphones on while going over this video and it was loud and clear, but this was a one full video take!

Like 21 👍 💯 ❤

Great setup! You'll find out what works best for you for your situation, you have to start somewhere, We all did! After you go a few times you can really get a feel of what you need to tweak to maximize your gear. Looking forward to seeing your first trip out!

Darcy, the Hiking Outdoor Family sent me to you! So I’m here, enjoyed your video and I have subscribed and followed your channel! 👍⬆️🔔🤝😊 263

The only best gear is the gear that works for you. Don’t listen to other people telling you it’s the best or worst. Gear is VERY personal and subjective. What works for me may not work for you. I’ve never seen two backpackers with the identical gear outside of couples. You find gear you love then later you will find different gear you will love. An air pump for your pad is worth its weight in gold. When I take my tent I always use a pump. If you use your tarp as a ground sheet for your tent make sure it doesn’t stick out from the sides. It can funnel water in if it rains. A few minor things to take with you that are helpful but not always used but can save the day in a pinch are duct tape (some wrapped around a trekking pole or a pencil), luko tape for blisters (you didn’t mention a first aid kit but I’m assuming you have one because of your day pack), a needle and thread for minor repairs (a needle stuck in something with thread wrapped around). Solid load out! Have fun out there! 👍

All good stuff! You'll figure out what works for you as you go but this looks like a great starting point. The foam pad also helps increase the lifespan (and R value) of your inflatable pad if put it between the ground and inflatable pad. I've lost enough pads from not doing that to know lol I messaged you about the bear canister storage.

Looks like you picked some good gear, your pack weight with food and water should be about 35lbs, a kitchen scale will help. Buy a rain cover for the pack and nylon sili bags to keep stuff in the pack dry, especially your sleeping bag and some dry clothing. When your gear gets wet water can add 10 lbs or more to your carry weight. Then tent can be strapped to the top of the pack or the straps on the outside bottom. A 15 degree down quilt is the way to go , when its warm you can sleep on top or let your feet stick out for temp regulation. Everyone has different gear the the basics seem to be the same. Power banks 20,000ma can do a lot of camera batteries and the phone a few times. All trails is great app also. Hopefully this will help some , happy back packing.

It's always exciting to see another hiker make the transition to backpacking. You can't go wrong with the Osprey my Exos has kept me going after my back injury they make a great product from my experience. The Pinchot and sections of the Loyalsock are where my wife and I did the bulk of our gear testing. Being able to hike in just a little and camp knowing you can bale if something doesn't work out is nice when your just starting.

Question? Have you put all of your items into you pack, loaded up and thrown it on your back and walked a couple miles. We all learn from experience, and we all tend to learn that we don't need nearly as much as we think we do. Weight, weight, weight, every ounce counts. Ditch the bear canister, I predict by the end of your first day backpacking you will be begging for a bear to come along and give a quick mercy killing. If you have a headlamp you dont need a flashlight, by the time you get to camp you will be ready for sleep. Pick one, air mattress or sleep pad. You should weigh your pack and gear. My first trip i was at 32 lbs. My most recent trip I got down to 26 lbs and I still would like to go lower. Every ounce counts... if you want to bring a fire starter bring 3 pieces not the whole bag. I noticed you didn't show any food or water. I seen your water filter, but have you practised filtering water and have the process down pat. A liter of water weighs 2 lbs, most hikers carry 2 liters as a minimum. Not trying to scare you off backpacking but it is very challenging and difficult, but immensely rewarding. Every ounce counts... Backpacking in itself is incredibly challenging, filming your trips is another level of crazy. There is a reason why so few are able to do it. Holding a camera steady in the woods is hard enough, dong it with a 35 lb pack on your back....

Your bag was over 200 dollars... that isn't cheap, you are pretty much spending a lot of money
