get rid if her sunglasses is really stupid advice
Lmao queens got like 6 water bottles ahahaha
Hope you don't still think gaiters are pointless when you're hiking in the SoCal desert in a couple months
The seeker bags are honestly great! Not sure this is her plan but the be free threads directly on it. I’ve been using this system for a few years now. Just buy a new replacement be free when needed and I’m still on my first seeker bag. Great if water isn’t plentiful and to be able to scoop up two L in one go. Seems a bit excessive here as there are multiple other water storage options and this isn’t a desert pack list.
A year later the katadyn befree is a weird size and doesn't fit the smart water bottles the hydro pack bottle fits the befree. Though it is strange that she listed two separate systems
My "base weight" is 25 lbs, and that doesn't even include y'all's pacifist tears 😂😂
Tarptent reports weight information including stakes and stuff sacks. She has those items split up individually which is the reason for the supposed discrepancy.
I would’ve preferred to see the list being edited by you in another column and see the weights side by side. Great stuff tho. I do enjoy when you go off and search for stuff and show that part of your thought process.
Ditch the tick key over the tweezers. Tweezers are multi use.
i have a jetboil zip. is that a good backpacking stove? not as light as a brs 3000 but better quality.
Everyone stopped listening too you when you asked
"do we really need to get into that with tent stakes"
Just tell her to hike like Grandma Gatewood
A spreadsheet?
Goofy measurements, lol metrics are so simpler. Try them.
I know soap is kinda pointless on trail, but, being able to clean the sticky bits at the end of the crappy days made the difference between keeping and losing my sanity
The hydrapak seeker is because of the katadyn. The befree filters aren't compatible with regular water bottles since it is too big for them.
You could download an ebook of the awol guide .
You could turn this into a series, second episode could be you roasting my 21lb base weight setup
Looks like the biggest issue were the bottles and headphones. And it seems that her headphones includes "Aftershokz", not just apple earbuds.
can i get the file for this spreadsheet? This will def make things easier for me to run through my pack.
i have the same neck knife and it is the only knife i bring, i love it!
This gear list was by no means pathetic. Sure, maybe suboptimal, but definitely not pathetic, I'd even say it was rather good. Don't be rude, mate, you can get your otherwise very good points across otherwise…
A lot of redundancy in the water system. Could just use the Be free and Smart bottles
.21 oz for six groundhogs????? No way
The second quilt … it's good on its own for summer. It used to come as a set of 2 from Costco as the DBD packable down throw. For deep summer, I use one as an underquilt and one as a top quilt in my hammock. Very decent. The two together are under 2 lb.
The Cnoc Vecto can be set up as a gravity filter with a sawyer squeeze, which is what I do. The empty vectos are very light. I have a smart bottle for drinking out of.
Smellproof bags – I use the OpSack with my Ursack xl. This can cut down on critters going after your food. On the AT, I would still hang an Ursack.
Soap … i got the little sheets that weigh almost nothing to experiment with. They come from Coleman in a little yellow plastic carrier.
Honestly, just carry bonner's soap as you can brush your teeth with it, too.
Tweezers and tick key. She should ditch the tick key. The tweezers are multifunctilnal.
Fanny pack .. probably for carrying camera gear, extra batteries and the like that she wants without the struggle of dragging it out of various pack pockets.
I love my cat stove. I use a 550 ml Ti pot for boiling water, and I use an MSR Infinity cup to rehy my meals (cant stand eating out of bags) and to drink my hot coco.
The Pstyle and kula … Kyle gets embarrassed LOL!!
I was so bothered that he skipped the foam pad 😂
I use multiple odor proof bags (and by this brand). Several are XL – perfect for general food as well as food trash. The smaller ones are good for toiletry kit (toothpaste, toothbrush, meds). Good for storage and also add at least a peace of mind that I'm not going to have mice (or other animals) going after smellables.
Just a heads up , pop socket now sells one that can hold 3 cards in it 4 is pushing it doe
How do you feel about the Columbia convertible pants?
Counting days family planning…
Seriously…
Politics?!?!? Or marketing…
Ayurveda
Ugh… Never free I guess…
BORINGGGG!!!
It's sad wen ppl let u down, but u get stronger, better at it…
Library? Elves sign-up chart? Definite law- Friday's? Just to b friendly, cling wrap a t-shirt or something…
Dixie wears a neck knife, and she's a triple crowner. I think it's just a point of security feeling for a solo woman
I unfortunately need a bag liner it doesn't matter how warm it is I sleep very cold and I have to always sleep with a bag liner. But 🤷🏻♀️ that's me. I'm trying some warmer socks and warmer pants just for sleeping that are lightweight!
Oh dude you are so wrong about the oder bags…no good for bears but as many know when you hike Mt Whitney they give you wag bags to poop in and pack out. No big deal…until they do nothing to keep the stink in. On one trip the bags from our group smelled like an SUV left for a week in the sun with a dirty diaper inside…unbelievable…but I was prepared with an opsack. I was so prepared and happy with the results that I was able to parlay the extra room in my sack for my buddies poop and had him carry my sh$t off the mountain. LOL at least we didn't have to split up because of small. I feel like my dog…I'll sh#t over here and you deal with it stupid human.
