Great video

@lorenzoskyhawk 7 лет назад

just want to say that as a very seasoned trekker 6000 metres and above.... i really enjoyed your video, bang on presentation and honesty with regards with what works for you.... more videos please!

@sintax77 7 лет назад

Thanks, Lorenzo! More to come :)

@TheGoatMumbler 7 лет назад

Sin's vids are long but usually worth it. Love the old black & white film clips!

@theprophetez1357 3 года назад

My first aid kit in my INCH bag is way to weighty, but I would rather have something and not need it than to need something and not have it. Also it is designed to help others too. I learned the hard way when I cut my finger while making cross bow darts. Because of where the deep cut was (middle joint of my index finger) it kept getting banged up and rebleeding for days. I quickly learned that I didn't even have enough bandaid so like I said I would rather have it and not need it...

@joshuabrooks555 5 лет назад

Learning so much from your videos. Just hiked Liberty and Flume due your information and motivation. Haven’t hiked in >10 years like this. You are saving me so much money. Driducks and fuel stove cooking , great help. Hope to see you out there. I live local to Whites.

@emrysellis7901 7 лет назад

The introduction portion was really nicely done.

@emjay0507 7 лет назад

Absolutely love my Half-Wit Hammock with my Beetle buckle system.

@danielbradshaw4025 7 лет назад

It's funny people are telling you how to hike with as long as you have been doing this. You all have some real trips under your belt, not just out for the two day weekend hike. I agree with the pack cover, I do still have a dry bag inside my pack. With my ultra light pack cover it just keeps my pack dry and not weighted down by water weight. Also the stakes, you are correct, some times you have to balance logic and weight you carry. If you've ever went out and tried to use sticks as stakes...nope. I use titanium stakes as well, you come out ahead in weight by not caring a knife big enough to actually make a proper stake. Also your point about getting cought out in a storm is so true, not the best time to be looking for sticks in a down pour. To eaches own I guess. Great video.

@GARYMANDIEVAN 7 лет назад

Great set-up I've told you before I love the ULA bag I also have a cuben Fiber Tarp but the L Gorge wind just about destroyed it so watch out for windy places Always enjoy your video''s Thanks

@whoodiestyle 7 лет назад

I love the the gorge. my favorite wilderness.

@paulkick7870 7 лет назад

THANKS Shawn for another informative and well made video. I bought the Aukey camera after your review and still re-watch it if I don't know how to do something.

@sintax77 7 лет назад

Thanks, Paul. That's awesome. I filmed the whole intro on that little Aukey action camera. It's turning out to be a nice EDC camera for video and timelapses.

@hikeslam592 7 лет назад

Love the editing and presentation. Well done!

@jamiemurphy1468 7 лет назад

Just got back from the the at Springer monton lering a lot about keeping my pack weat down thanks for sharing

@unicornblends5285 5 лет назад

I think the health scare is related to the plastic degrading overtime 3 to 5 uses only that's my philosophy

@anthonybasile2560 6 лет назад

Just getting in the backpacking myself but I got to say that I love your Channel. It seems like a lot of the backpacking and especially the ultralight backpacking community can have someone of a cancerous attitude for lack of a better term. Thank you for making enjoyable videos that are down to earth

@KaylynnStrain 7 лет назад

I got lots of soot from my alcohol stove when I last used it to cook in my canteen cup during a power outage but it was easy to clean up, I have a thin pair of SmartWool socks that are thin, they are going with me when I go to a "met-up" camp next month, other pairs of socks are also in my pack

@Pygar2 7 лет назад

Rubbing alcohol'll do that, all right. I try to keep some yellow bottle HEET around Just In Case...

@pnwadventuresandgearreview8749 7 лет назад

Looks like a pretty sweet system all bases covered!

@onetimeoutdoorsdj1394 7 лет назад

Thank you gave me some great ideas

@uptrail7169 7 лет назад

Very Good Review! I have the same packcover from Dutch. So far over the years I have not once had any problems with my gear getting wet inside. I'm also still using fuel cubes. I have been testing cheaper cubes lately with good results. My base weight is between 12 and 13 lbs, but I will allow up to 2 extra lbs for a few luxury items.

@sintax77 7 лет назад

Thanks, Uptrail. I'll have to look into the generic cubes. Did you find them online or in a local shop?

@uptrail7169 7 лет назад

I bought them at our local Meijer store for $2.49 -8 pack. It was so far my best cheap brand test. I'll leave an online link for you when I find it.This is one place, but others do sell them. www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiGwIT68aXVAhWOtsAKHRnEBHoYABAEGgJpbQ&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESEeD2KgZpxO2gvXp69W_MEKb7&sig=AOD64_1JqVSHmKKLmfbcRlJZ0r43s34q4A&ctype=5&q=&ved=0ahUKEwi-vvz58aXVAhVm9YMKHS2fC34QvhcINg&adurl=

@sintax77 7 лет назад

Cheaper than Dirt, I haven't visited them in a while, nice :) Thanks!

@uptrail7169 7 лет назад

That's a good price! It was $2.19, but $2.30 is good. We heard some strange animal noises in our backyard one night. Bobcats are common behind our house, but after researching the sounds I'll give it a 95% chance that it was a mountain lion. They are very rare in my area, but have been seen in the past. I don't want to mess around with that!!

@jerikontogeorgis555 7 лет назад

Love your videos! I think the first one I watched was the one of your gear with a Osprey Pack! Love your dog, he's grown!

@tonytoms2233 7 лет назад

Thanks I will check them out !!!

@joshuastaines1945 6 лет назад

I fell in a river the other day while crossing and thought of this video :-) I actually use both a Dutch pack cover for the reasons you said and also have all my quilts/hammock in a ZPacks liner. I was happy for that liner when my Ohm took a dunk. Looking forward to receiving my burgerwear t-shirt ;-)

@cliffspicer6555 2 года назад

Love your videos and have a question maybe you can answer. If you were to build one hammock setup that would be most versatile for 3 seasons and given fall can get to 0 Celsius in the earl mornings what would it look like ? I am looking for lightweight and as versatile for someone with about $500 to spend. One day I would like to own multiple underquilts and top quilts but I am wondering if you can layer your hammock gear like you layer your clothes. Can a sheet of reflectix out between the underquilt and the hammock fabric be a lightweight idea to get you from summer into fall ? Thanks for these videos.

@1wetpaint 7 лет назад

Fun video. I use a lot of the same gear. And have a dog that looks almost identical to yours. Thanks, enjoyed it!

@HuckOutdoors 7 лет назад

Great breakdown bud!

@sintax77 7 лет назад

Thanks, Huck!

@woodsmoke1411 6 лет назад

The only 'skeeter net I use for ultra-light is a large head net over a baseball cap, both night and day. Sleeping in it is a bit claustrophobic til you get used to it, but it works ( at least until meal times! ). Then do without a fitted bug net on hammock, inner tent or bivi.

@louiec.6590 7 лет назад

I've been waiting for this.

@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker 7 лет назад

Great video I am going to check out your clothing video.

@Dirt_McGirt_ODB 7 лет назад

Denali for Prez!

@KrizAkoni 7 лет назад

Sweet, another OTA content watcher! Go the antenna! Nice list too. ;)

@sintax77 7 лет назад

Yes, indeed - I'm all about the antenna and some RU-vid :)

@silentpaw 7 лет назад

I want to get myself a SPOT for my Family's peace of mind when I finally get the chance to hit the AT. Also, if I remember, that Garmin has a camera in it that can put a GPS tag on your photos. That would be a neat little touch to add to pictures I want to take on the AT. So yeah, they may add a little more pack weight, but it is always good to have a back up in case cel service decides to go away, or your phone dies on the trail.

@whoodiestyle 7 лет назад

I dont even bother with a pack cover the cuben packs work great and are basically a giant roll top dry bag.

@ollie4dad 7 лет назад

ULA doesn't offer a cuben pack yet. But thanks for sharing.

@tweetsfromthetrail393 7 лет назад

i agree with you on the Katadyn BeFree what a great filter. Do you ever have any issues with the flow rate slowing down over a couple days of filtering water? Also if you do how do you flush yours on the trail? But overall i love the system i bought a 3L reserve bag for camp. Thaat Makes it real nice when water is not so close to where i am camping. Thanks

@sintax77 7 лет назад

+Tweets From The Trail I have not personally had any slow down issues yet. I clean it in between uses by simply shaking it vigorously in the same (preferably moving) water source that I'm taking water from. It can also be ran under a faucet when back at home.

@philmay3144 7 лет назад

sintax77 Watch the Befree bottle...mine sprang a leak after a month. Went back to the Sawyer for now while considering a different bottle for the BeFree

@danlibby8366 7 лет назад

Can you tell us how your view on first aid might have changed since you mashed your face on the trail? What did you add to your first aid kit? How did it change? Location change? I'm an old retired paramedic and it seems like some of the lite weight people really skimp on the first aid stuff...your thoughts? Thanks for all your wonderful videos.

@frankvolpe2178 6 лет назад

I can remember a video where he answered this. He said he added the same band-aid size the other hiker gave him in the video.

@thevideostump46239 7 лет назад

Dude it's like FREAK'N hot this summer here in Indiana and the looks of Denali, it hot there too! lol...

@sintax77 7 лет назад

Crazy hot. Luckily, we're getting a break from it today, but I don't know how long it's gonna last...

@adamhelsdon5548 7 лет назад

sintax77 FINALLY cooled off

@KaylynnStrain 7 лет назад

metal tent stakes can be used for other jobs besides tying down tarps and tents

@sintax77 7 лет назад

Excellent point.

@KaylynnStrain 7 лет назад

did you have any knives or other tools? would be nice to see what knives or other tools you would take on your trips

@lylebrooks1308 7 лет назад

Regarding the rain pants (42:23 on the video)... I concur with the two points made on the video... a) they can be cumbersome to put on b) you often feel like you are far wetter from your sweat wearing these things, than you would be from the rain that they repelled. I still use a rain jacket, but my solution for keeping dry below the waist was to ditch the rain pants, and go with a rain kilt. I took inspiration from this article. trailtopeak.com/2015/10/16/diy-gear-learn-how-to-make-a-tyvek-rain-kilt-skirt-to-keep-your-legs-dry-in-wet-weather/ The Tyvek kilt is inexpensive, lightweight, and easy to put on......it keeps you reasonably dry (face it...if you are hiking in the rain, you are going to get wet....you won't stay totally dry). It also lets you breath because air circulates beneath you. You don't feel like you are inside a plastic bag soaking in your own sweat...like you do with rain pants. It can also double as a ground cloth. You have good freedom of movement if you are hiking with it on.... And I get a sense of satisfaction from making my own DIY gear.

@PimKoper 6 лет назад

Use the bottles to max of exp date. Reason: The BPA breaks down around that time. Trust me i had a drink from a plastic bottle that had expired and it had small particles in it that i actually could feel in my mouth and yea it was a sealed bottle so it had been there a while. (And if the BPA breaks down the bottle will break faster). for the rest on the bottle part i agree.

@typinion9484 6 лет назад

I don’t Remember which video it was, but did you say that you wear your trail runners as your every day shoes as well?

@sintax77 6 лет назад

Yep, I do. I've had several pairs of Merrell Moab Ventilators over the years for hiking and everyday wear.

@2AFreeState 7 лет назад

I'm a little new to your channel so maybe you've already gone over this before but have you tried using a Super Cat alcohol stove? Andrew Skurka says he uses one when he solo hikes and he says he budgets about .7 oz of fuel per 2 cups of boiled water. The one I use is a similar variation of it and I think I get even better efficiency than that. Because fuel is the heavy part of an alcohol set up it makes sense to me to try and minimize how much I take by increasing my efficiency.

@rgmALC 7 лет назад

Justin Taylor Skurka uses a Caldera cone system now. Waaaaay more efficient

@2AFreeState 7 лет назад

Andrew Cambridge Does he really? Interesting. I should check that out.

@basecamper3907 7 лет назад

Sintax77 I love your videos really opens my eyes on hammock camping I really enjoy it I am always telling people about your Chanel I got 4 people following your Chanel so far lol I was wondering if I sent you one also if I could make shirts with sintaxx 77 with like a backwoods hiking theme to kinda help advertise your videos in my small town

@siljeto86 7 лет назад

Thanks for yet another awesome video :) I was wondering how the Esbit cubes perform under colder temperatures? Any trouble lighting them, or are they less efficient?

@sintax77 7 лет назад

+Silje Berntsen No problem with the esbit cubes lighting or burning in cold temps. As with any stove, the lower ambient temperature and therefore, most likely colder water sources, will slow heating times down a bit. Since the Esbit cubes don't really burn as agressively as pressurized stoves in the first place, I typically don't use them in deep winter for the sake of time and convenience. It's certainly possible though.

@Hajmeddig123 7 лет назад

Plz show how to attach and adjust an underquilt

@Hajmeddig123 6 лет назад

Yes

@lyfandeth 6 лет назад

Darwin, you mention "I forgot it" a few times. Have you ever considered making up some checklists, or just keeping all the gear in one or two boxes that you check throught before packing? And can't your SPOT leave gps positions every 10 minutes or so?

@diegotobar6839 7 лет назад

26:30 You throw them into the bag to keep them wet?? lols

@sintax77 7 лет назад

+Diego Tobar Bonus points for paying attention to that, haha ;)

@lisaray6493 7 лет назад

Thanks for the helpful suggestions.Just pulled the trigger on the cuben hex tarp. Do you use a continuous ridge line? I have been told that a ridge line under the tarp will eventually damage it. Any thoughts?

@sintax77 7 лет назад

I do use a continuous ridgeline. I typically hang my tarp _underneath_ it though, so it doesn't actually touch the tarp. This allows me to pitch the tarp down a little closer to the ground, while still keeping the line high and above the hammock suspension lines.

@andrewismyusername 7 лет назад

I use a trash compacter bag but only because it is much cheaper than a pack cover. Those things are surprisingly expensive!

@sintax77 7 лет назад

They definitely are - I don't blame you at all. I remember buying my Sea to Summit cover back when I first started backpacking. It was probably in my top 3 of items that I was reluctant / quite cranky to spend money on. I wish I had known about the Dutch Argon cover back then. About half the cost _and_ weight. Oh, well - live and learn...

@tonytoms2233 7 лет назад

What kinda ear buds are you using in this video ?

@sintax77 7 лет назад

They're Bluetooth buds by a company called Coulax. amzn.to/2uvxFIk Decent battery life - I used them to listen to all of my podcasts / audio books while doing walks at home and to pass the time at camp on solo trips.

@BobPreis 6 лет назад

What do you think of the Zpack Arc Blast for carrying this loadout?

@FrozensAdventures 7 лет назад

As far the pack cover and your question, I had the same mentality when I carried the Osprey Exos. It weighs a ton when it gets wet. I had a very bad experience where on accident going through heavy brush, my dutch pack cover moved up from the bottom and when I set it down it soaked through and my sleep system got wet. Not a big deal at 65 degrees but had it been colder it would have sucked.. When I switched to a Zpacks Arc Haul it soaked up barely anything. I used a trash compactor bag for a bit but ultimately decided on a zpacks cuben pack liner which is just a gigantic dry bag. It's lighter than a trash compactor bag/the dutchware rain cover and seems to work great.

@sintax77 7 лет назад

Oh, man - that's a bummer. Glad to hear you've got a remedy for it now, though. Now that you mention it - my friend Mike uses a trash bag around his sleeping bag, etc in a addition to his pack cover due to some previous issues and he uses an Osprey Exos as well.

@matthewd347 7 лет назад

Great video! Question: What is the brand of your front pack for carrying camera gear? I'm searching for something smaller and lightweight to carry my GoPro, Karma grip, and a few smaller accessories. Thanks in advance!

@sintax77 7 лет назад

It's a Ribz Front Pack amzn.to/2uBx9Zf I've had mine for a few years now and it's still going strong. Very convenient for camera gear and hiking snacks.

@danielbradshaw4025 7 лет назад

I love my ribz pack, not sure why more people are not using one. I've been using the same ribz pack for years and it's just a tough solid sound gear that I will not leave behind.

@theprophetez1357 3 года назад

Did that deodorant make your breath fresher?

@CDNFF82 7 лет назад

What type of watch do you use while hiking and while at home? Thanks

@MDubNM 7 лет назад

Could you please share the link to your lighterpack profile for this video? I looked at the PDF on your gear lists page, but my brain doesn't compute .pounds as easily as ounces. My apologies if it's linked somewhere, and I just missed it.

@TyGlEads 7 лет назад

Was the "Utah trip" a backpacking video? Sorry if I missed that one.

@sintax77 7 лет назад

Yes, all of the video insets in this video are full length, stand alone vids. Here's a link to the Utah feature ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gfK_B709v6k.html

More Costa Rica on the way ;) Probably 3 more episodes, actually.

@Jamie101007 7 лет назад

@mainehiker6157 7 лет назад

@kcjoe82 7 лет назад

No link for those knock off Patagonia's? 2nd skin?

@sintax77 7 лет назад

+Joe Medlin I couldn't find the anymore, unfortunately. The ColdPruf brand is a good alternative, though. I have a Merino wool blend pair of them that is excellent for colder trips.

@jacksonfox1231 7 лет назад

What watch do you have

@robertmeintzer 7 лет назад

I DO APOLOGIZE FOR THIS! BUT YOU TALK MORE AND FASTER THAN ANY ONE I EVER MET! EVEN THOUGH SOME OF ITS INTERESTING! BUT AS YOU WELL KNOW I WATCH ALL YOUR VIDEO'S AND GIVE THEM A THUMBS UP!

@consumedesign 7 лет назад

What degree underquilt?

@sintax77 7 лет назад

+consumedesign It's a Hammock Gear Phoenix 30, although in a pinch, I would trust pushing it about 10 degrees below that.

@KateGoldauthoress 7 лет назад

"dont think I could say that any better myself" lol

@MrPlayfulOtter 7 лет назад

The ultralight backpacker measures all of his gear in tenth of ounces - but the camera gear is measured by the TON! Maybe if you left half a ton at home you could bring a full tube of toothpaste! I'm just joking - not really being an a-hole - I only play at being one...

@petermentes63 7 лет назад

Are u obsessed with get lighter?

@Doug_E_Dee 7 лет назад

I think re-using water bottles is much safer than drinking the water that they come with from the store because that water has been marinating in plastic. I dump that crap and re-fill with my own well water.

@JustinMcKinneyhiker 6 лет назад

Don't bury baby wipes, they take forever to decompose
