The Gear I Use For Backcountry Skiing // Scarpa F1 LT, Atomic Backland 107, and More! 

Those scarpa F1s are really nice, I just picked up a pair. I'm new to backcountry and your videos are really helpful for getting more info on some routes here near SLC. Have a great rest of the season.

Super set!

Champagne Taste! Consider wearing your beacon on your chest. If you were ever in a burial situation, the beacon is 1m away from your mouth/nose (airway). If rescuers locate/dig to your beacon below your waist, they're still a long way away from unburying your airway/head when time is not on their side. Just food for thought, but I used to keep in my beacon pocket in my baselayer until I realized the harness gets it up even higher.

Definitely the right skis! 😀

The plus on that binding is that it does come with brakes if you don’t want a leash. Just got some to put on last years backland 107

thanks legend!

You should check out moment skis. They're made here in Reno and are really nice. They have a touring line, awesome graphics, light and I like supporting an American company.

Can you publish a list of the items. Thx , great vid

Like your videos! I am starting to get into BC skiing this year and collect some of the gear. I noticed, from your past videos, you seem to always have fixed grip poles, which is what i was leaning towards. Wondering why and do you size them longer than normal for leverage on the up and then choke up skiing down, or just size them like normal poles. Thanks!

How is the downhill performance in those boots? I’m am new to the touring seen and trying to figure out a perfect setup for myself. Looking to do shorter tours in search of untouched powder. Not planning on doing day long/multi day tours

This dude like the backcountry skier version of a tech bro 😳

I do like my water, snacks and some occasional other gear up front! I hate to remove my pack. It's just not efficient. I mean, ski touring race packs often have pockets up front, like running vests. Why does almost no one make backpacks with a vest style closure with pockets and stuff? I love those. I own 2 running packs, 1 5L and one 12L one. Too bad they do not fit my gear correctly for skimo. My orthovox cross rider 18L that is made for this has no pockets accessible while wearing it besides a tiny waist pocket that fits only like 1 bar. No phone or other stuff. I know dynafit makes multiple water bottle holders and they are probably pretty great! Have not tested those. I might as well pick one up. An insulated bottle makes sense but I have never had a frozen bottle that I cannot drink out of actually. Only a frozen bladder tube of course which is why I often like bottles when it's freezing, or my tube should ve under my jacket in my mini vest (only holds a blader, ggisisfor running,xc skiing and such where gear is not needed). The bigger volume of water and the sloshing from my skiing usually prevents it freezing for some hours, really, the insulated holder is in my opinion good enough if you wear your pack constantly (body heat as well, my bladder resevoir is often warm). I lately saw the Atomic Backland Backpack 16+ UL on sale. Kind of small, (16-20L) but I like it small, my gear is minimalism anyways. This one has a vest style fit and pockets up front, also for bottles or whatever you like! I might pick it up for the -50% I've seen it! Deal. It also fits my probe and shovel, plus accessible skin pocket while wearing the pack👍

Do you feel there’s any sacrifice with warmth with the boots vs something that’s heavier and built burlier?

Do you ever carry the skies on the backpack? If so how do you mount them?

Hey great review, I really like how detailed you were with everything. I have a few questions about your I like the idea of being light and quick as you are. I have similar boots but from la Sportiva. I’m currently looking at the backland 100 but I’m also considering the 107‘s as a do it everything ski here in Washington. what was your deciding factor for one over the other? Most of my skiing will be touring through the trees and skiing on volcanoes in the late spring

Do you ever feel this is too much ski for this boot / binding combo? Sounds like you dont carry an airbag for touring?

Orange and black! Come back to VT next winter to ski some ice. #rememberwhereyoucamefrom 😎🫡

Im just woried if the boots are tough enought to ski steep and icy slopes dont they bend over to the side like scarpa alien when they are on 100mm+ skis?

does the nozzle on the dynafit bottle ever freeze up? I have a specialized moflo bottle on my shoulder strap, its not insulated but it almost never freezes, the issue is just that the nozzle freezes solid then I need to unscrew the whole cap to drink

If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your height and weight? Looking at your bindings , but not sure if they’re reliable for 255# like I am.

Hey! Really cool video! I’m in the market for new bindings. How much do you weigh if I may ask. I’m 5’11 and 200lbs

How is screen touch working when gloves get wet?

would u recommend sizing up or down half a size in the f1 lt?

dynafit tlt 8 son, 1000g, bomber. no boa closure, no fabric that can tear on the front, stiff.

What's a guy who doesn't know what rocker is doing making a gear inventory video? 🤔
