Are there any subscriptions or additional fees you need to pay to use that watch for navigating?
I use an Osprey to 20 for my day hikes and I love it
Great video. Do you recommend the Hoka Speedgoats for a week long trip?

I love how you keep doing videos out in real locations with real weatherā¦. Snow!! Itās fun to watch for those of us who live in places where snow is never a thing!
Hi Justin , how do you rate the HOKA compared to the TOPO
99% of the "new hikers" I've seen out hiking since covid don't carry the most essential tool – BEAR SPRAY!
Justin would you recommend speedgoat gtx over regular? I have second thoughts, not sure which one to choose. I have Salomon X Ultra 4 Gtx Mid but not so comfortable in upper part of the shoes.
Nice! You mention in the comments taking a form of shelter like a bivy: is definitely a good idea. I also like to take a source of warmth. Bushcraft types like fire stuff, but a flask with a hot drink, a small stove, or handwarmers are also good options for an unplanned overnight, and are perhaps easier for most folk.
I really like wearing a trail running vest pack on day hikes. Theyāre super comfortable, donāt bounce around, I can reach all my food without taking it off, I can split water between front and rear, and theyāre really light weight. My current favorite is the Salomon Adv Skin 12.
I'm your biggest fan!
Hey Justin
I highly recommend the Altra Olympus 4 they are as well very cushiony & comfortable for day & thru hikes
I picked up a red talon 33 a short while ago for my new ultralight setup. It was comparable to the kestrel 48 I also own, I really enjoy the features of the kestrel, which the Talon also shares.
Justin, how are you not cold here? You must be used to that Alberta weather. I have the same mica pants you're wearing – they're thin! (And I also love them – they've been durable and amazing for warm weather outdoors stuff for years for me.)
Im using my osprey kestrel 36 has day hike bag
My daypack is a Gregory Maya 16, built for women and so comfy. Holds everything for myself and my doggo š and it has an adjustable torso length (super important for shorties like me who top off at 5ā). Also, easy and quick access to Bear spray, just in caseā¦. š³ Would love to see a tutorial how you use Gaia with Fenix, similar to your excellent inReach vid. Keep those excellent vids coming!
Great vid Justin. Your videos have helped me get into backpacking safely and this day hiking vid helps too. I canāt wait for your med kit video because thatās a very tricky one and I trust your judgement on how much to bring.
Decathlon does have ādunesā of the z seat, and mittens as well for a good price. I am gonna check out the windbreaker! I also like the decathlon brand Simond (donāt know if u have this as well) they make Great hoodies and rain jackets!
I bought Hoka torrent trail runners earlier this year and I LOVE them.
Including your edit about SOL bivvy bag, some good kit included – including emergency signalling. And i like your mindset thinking ahead about an unexpected "inconvenient night out" (quoting the video by Colorado Wildlife Parks). But some of the "10C's of survivability" are missing. And in terms of "PACE" planning, what would be your plan if eg technology failed, your water filter failed / got lost, or there was major haemorrhage situation?
What were those trekking poles Justin? I don't see a link for them. New poles are on my wish list this year for a 2 week trip I'm doing. Thanks for all the gear suggestions! š
Thanks for another great video Justin. Can't believe how much you can pack into a 12L backpack. I feel heaps better now as I have a 15L backpack and was always worried it wouldn't be enough for a day hike, but now I know it's more than enough.
Thanks! TP doesn't work at all in crappy weather… pun intended… I carry wet wipes… MUCH more versatile! And a good knife…
..Just ordered the down jacket..I had a synthetic puffy liner that I usually take but it has no hood and I'm going on a 4 day backpacking trip in Glacier National in June and it can drop into the 30's F at night so this should help if that happens..Thanks for the great info, videos and gear suggestions
!!
I like the thermostat/compass duo
Looking forward to that watch review. How long does the battery last when you're actively using it on a hike for nav?
I also prefer no hip belt on my day pack. Heck, I also prefer no hip belt on my overnight pack. The Zerk 40 has been great so far!
