I think they and Dixie and a handful of others of four or five should try to get on one of the late night shows such as Colbert or Kimmel and talk about what it's like to be a KZitem backpacker and the experiences they have. They would have all kinds of great stories. Backpacking has become very hot in part because of covid. It would be a great opportunity for them to talk about Leave No Trace Behind to a wide audience. I mean, Johnny would interview someone like that. Letterman would, too. Both guys would make them fun interviews. I am sick of non-stop celebrity interviews.

@@BackpackingTV I just sent the following through the proper channel at Jimmy Kimmel Live: Howdy Backpacking is really hot right now, especially with COVID-19. There are several backpacking KZitemrs who have a lot of charisma and huge followings that I think would be great for a group appearance together on Jimmy Kimmel. Johnny used to do those kind of interviews all the time on The Tonight show, remember? Letterman, too. They're good way to break things up. The unofficial queen of backpacking among KZitemrs is Jessica Mills, aka Dixie, whose channel is Homemade Wanderlust. She is universally respected and adored. She's been to some spectacular places and is very good at videography on the trail. She carries herself extremely well. Eric Hanson at backpacking TV and Dan Becker of Dan Becker's KZitem channel by the same name have been doing a lot of programming together and have a really great back-and-forth chemistry. They're fun to watch, but also informative. Again, widely respected. Another person I would suggest has a channel called Jupiter Hikes. Jupiter is his "trail name". I do not know his actual name. But he done some amazing hikes with virtually nothing on his back. Talk about Spartan. The topic lends itself to a lot of interesting conversation, like how do they do all of this photography on the trail, or what are the downsides to being a KZitemr of your hobby, or how hard it is to make money being a KZitemr. There are lots of angles. Of course, thefecwould need to be at least one other female, and there are so many good ones from whom to choose on KZitem, so I would recommend you ask these other potential guests who would they suggest appear. (Oops - I should have proofread it better - I have a crazy keyboard and dyslexia, so...Anyway, I doubt anybody in Booking will ever see my suggestion, but maybe they will surprise us.)

Carrying comfort items is no problem if you aren't carrying them 6000 feet up a mountain.

If I can give you one piece of advice above all - get a tent comfortably wide enough and long enough for you that weighs less than 3 lbs.. If you are taller than 5'-10", you will find your choice of comfortable tents drops to a handful. You don't want to waste money on a tent that is too small. You will end up buying another tent. The Tarptent Double Rainbow series of tents are big enough for most tall solo hikers, but the 3FUL Lanshin 2 is too short, though it is a otherwise a fine value tent. Happy trails!

At some point (don't know when), I'll be going for a Zenbivy. I discovered, as a new backpacker, that a mummy sleeping bag is just pure hell for me. They're plenty warm, but feel ridiculously constricting regarding movement, even though I have one with a wide shoulder area. I'm willing to pay the price for quality sleep. One of the most helpful things you and Dan point out a lot is what the good sleeping pads are (very important - thanks).

I'm all for the Bridger 65! I have been using ultralight packs and endured the shoulder and sometimes hip pain from the lack of padding and stability offered. SMD's Minimalist V2 with their running vest helps immensely with stability and comfort, but nearing 30 pounds it is uncomfortably felt on the shoulders. I have a few things that weight a bit more, and I like to be able to comfortably load up to six days of supplies so I tend to go a bit heavy at the beginning of my hikes. The Bridger 65 carries this weight so well and is extremely comfortable. I was worried about that 5.2 lbs but after a couple of hikes I realized that weight is a non-issue!

I think the Hyperlite Mountain Gear Southwest 3400 backpack is amazing. I had mine loaded to 37lbs at trip start and had no issues over 5 days in RMNP. I was concerned because I had heard the same thing about ~30lbs being the max comfortable weight. I dont know if i am lucky in that my torso came out right between M and L so I went L (per Hyperlite's recommendations) and maybe that extra half inch or so in the shoulders made it ride beautifully? And when day hiking, being able to roll it down so you dont have the bulk of other 55L bags is also great. I also had it out all night i the rain with the straps towards the ground and didnt find any water got in so I do think its likely the stitching on the straps that could let water in if its pouring on you. I was worried at first but best piece of gear I have bought thus far.

I'm interested if it's possible to put a big bear canister (BearVault BV500) in this backpack (Mystery Ranch Barger 65)?

Mr light weight has claimed there is no need for a four season tent for winter (snow storms etc,) backing! That’s a dangerous idea particularly for lesser experienced backpackers!

At 6:14 - I'd like to buy that same backpack however I live in California and Yosemite requires a bear canister. I'm concerned the Hyperlite Mountain Gear backpack would not work well with a bear canister.

Would love to see one or both of you give your thoughts on the x mid pro 2, but I have a feeling that we won’t see that until next spring at best due to availability issues? It might be the best 2P tent on the market right now.

(Edit) Zen Bivy: good. Hopefully it is all insulated unlike my Exped Winterlite. Is that the same grey Exped pad where they decided not to fill any down in its outside rails? I have that one. I Emailed them & only the green synthetic insulated ones get the outside rails: still not the Downmat or U7 or whatever it is now. --No where in the videos or specs do they suggest those rails are not insulated: bogus I told them for 238 dollar mat. I paid for it all to be R6.9.

Question for you Eric… how does the zenbivy sleep system fit in the bridger 65L?
@BackpackingTV
Жыл бұрын
It fits well in the bottom compartment of the Bridger, no problems at all. I do refer to it being bulky, so I use a compression sack to get the Zenbivy to a good size but it takes a little more muscle and effort than other bags.
