What else I should do on the trail for likes? 😎
Hahaha that made me laugh so much! Hate it when people blast their music for everyone to hear on peaceful walks.
wait no light saber….or RPGs?
How is this called hiking?
🦇💩🤪
Matt is the Alton Brown of UL hiking

The cheper option DD40 backpack doesn't seem to be available anymore, you could provide another option.
And replace that cheaper tent option of lunar solo by a Lanshan 1 and keep 100+ $$$
Yes, I did just hit subscribe immediately following your Bluetooth speaker comment.
👍👍👍
As a person who spent eight years in school in Maine, it is pronounce kaaah taaaa din not cat a din
First time I saw your video looks great and informative indeed just like my favorite silly guy Dan Becker aka DanDman! Thanks!
Benchmade Bugout and Mini Bugout are great folding knife options for a higher quality blade and remain under 2 ounces (1.5oz for the mini).
Ah no – I'll need three large pockets – or more if they are small. But I like the idea. The lowest I've managed with food is 40 pounds. Let's have a discussion here. : )
Thank you for the speaker comment! They all deserve to be slapped
awesome vid
I'm definitely a day hiker and not a backpacker but did I like this video for the bit about slapping people on the trail who blast their music? Absolutely I did.
Thanks for the ideas dude.
Absolutely thought out and perfectly executed. Well done man. Ultralight tubers take notes. Cheers
Good reasoning for likes xD
Who makes a good down Bali clava?
I can really see how much work went into this video, I was listening super focused even if I never went on a hike in my life. But I still learned a ton and it will help me when I'll do some camping in the possible future!
like! go slap those suckers
yo matt! if you see this and you got time, can you link some of your favorite scary stories? i was backpacking this weekend listening to creepy pastas, and was thinking to myself "matt prolly knows of better ones"
Yell. "I can see you mother @#$%^& !!!" when you pass someone in head to toe cammo.
Thank you – I had to set the playback speed to slower to follow you though!
It's the slap promise that got the Like 👍
I'm curious why you shifted from the Tarptent Aeon Li to the ZPacks Duoplex. Space trade off for a couple more ounces? And you'll get another like from me if you can smack the campers who get up at 4am for an early start and yack and laugh with their bros like it's the middle of the day! Grrrr….
I'm at a 12 lbs. base weight. Always good to see an ultra-lighter's kit to see how I can adapt my own. Thanks for the share!
Just found your channel. Great video. Some suggestions for discussion: food, finding/processing/storing water. General suggestion: Discuss camping tips/tricks/reviews while actually on camping trips. Thanks again for the great vid!
Your one arm is huge compared to the other! Could just be the angle of the thumbnail but damn! You def have a dominant arm.
Nicely done. Succinct, informative, well-organized. Very helpful.
Holy Toledo, this video is a treasure trove of info with all the fat trimmed away. Please slap at least five Bluetooth speaker morons for me.
always love seeing other peoples gear! I noticed quite some differences that are due to climate and terrain differences (I hike in european mountains), yet there are some things that I dont fully understand on your gear list. For the sleepingbag/quilt you note that you want small bevels and lots of them, yet for the down jacket you want big bevels. Why is that, you'd want maximum warmth from both I take it? Secondly, could you expand on why you chose a quilt over a sleeping bag? To me it seems like a sleepingpad will always be colder than a pad with down, plus I feel like you can trap your body heat way better when your fully surrounded with down.
For stoves I can recommend looking into esbit stoves. They use little solid cubes that burn up on a teeny little holder, making them smaller and more lightweight and more reliable (imo) than gas stoves. Im not sure if they are available in the US tho.
Thanks, best wishes!
I really enjoy seeing other people’s kit. It makes me feel shitty thinking that a 25-30 pound ruck is “light” 😂 if I can get my pack weight down to 10 pounds I’d be so happy
would that tape work for a self inflating pad ? or would the nylon reject it with out some kind of an adhesive . great video given me somethings to think about . I am going to look into one of those foam pads to replace my sit mat. I am using a thick garden waste bag at the moment for my 3/4 length mat and the sit pad with my pillow no its the perfect size.
i love that pad person returned in this one!!!
bring him back more often!
Wow super great video I learned a ton. I have my G4-20 gossamer pack down to a 13 lb base weight this includes my dogs blanket..again thx so much will watch again!!! Happy hiking!!! I have the Dan Durston 2 Person tent because my big black poodle comes with!!!
Good stuff!
After the campfire is lit, the evening meal is eaten, I'm playing music whilst roasting marshmallows. But if you're listening to music whilst hiking, then yeah you deserve a slap. Take in your surroundings!
I have used a scrap piece of laminate floor underlayment under my pad. It was free and about the same thickness. Give it a few more years and you can pop four ibuprofen in a day.
damn dude! 158K views!!! waaaaay more than back in the day. props
Have you tried the Enlightenment Equipment Enigma? It seems to me very similar to the Nunatak but a little easier to design, buy, and return. I’m just making the switch to a quilt and it’s a big purchase.
What type and size sewing needle are you packing?
Hey Matt! Great video this one. I’ve watched it multiple times. Just wondering your thoughts on shakedry for a slightly heavier base weight of 13lb? How are you finding the durability. I own the jacket and love it. But don’t want to destroy it.
Podcasts about scary things….Amen. Alone in the wilderness. No people around. Animal noises around you. Perfect setting in my humble opinion. Great video and gear suggestions. Thanks!
Great video! I didn't know Patrick Bateman was into camping.
Did you every try the silicone stretch lids (cold soak)? Good break down on gear though. ( I looked at the KS pack website – whoa)
Hey matt, first let me congratulate you on finishing your physical therapy schooling. Thats a big deal.
I always appreciate (and hate) your videos on your load out. Typically I could pick apart every other video on youtube. Just not true for yours and it P's me off that I can't figure out how you"re at 7 (somewhat often) and I'm close to 14 (albeit with a BV450) We share extremely similar gear. We have the exact same attitude towards "stuff". Its kind of maddening but it does go to show how many tiny things add up to big. In this case the best I can come up with is the Uber vs my Nemo, just a few less pices of repair maybe in the diddy, Slight difference in pillow, That hoodie is a big difference. first person to open a real store with that wins big. Im going out in a week or so forgoing the Ghost whisperer for the first and taking the much more comfortable Melanzana with a wind braker over it. I also sport a 10 degree quilt cause its the Sierras. You say don't cut spoons but if you just can't bone out for more awesome gear, get in shape or cut those spoons. I still go out at 20 -23 lbs with zero compromise and redundancy built in for whats important and nothin else. You the man! I love the sport of it though
New guy to your channel. Been backpacking, bike-camping and motocamping for over a decade now. Made all the gear mistakes every reputable channel on YT mentions. Got a ton of gear I don't use anymore. The gear I use is much heavier than yours, (just my 1P-tent weighs in at ca. 1,7 kg without FP). Anyways, great tips here, all very legit info and all these items are more or less the same things I bring after all these years of experience without any YT shared experience, with the difference that my gear is way, way heavier. It's incredible what you can learn just by looking into a couple of good advice videos like this one. Thank you!
