Hi Jake - sorry a bit late here but a couple of questions: What is your height and torso size? And what size pack did you get? Sorry if I missed it somewhere - Thanks! Love your work!!

I was trying out quite a few new bits of gear on my most recent hike and some of the ones that stood out as performing really well were my Zpacks Altaplex tent, my Arc’teryx Cerium LT down jacket and definitely my Altra Lone Peak 4.0’s. Those things are just amazingly comfortable and I can’t really see myself going back to boots again. Thanks for sharing your list and braving it in the wind!

I have to agree with you both on the Altras too... love them!

That is some AWESOME new gear! You'll definitely have to do a video on them, especially the Altapex tent and how it compares to your Exped tent. Welcome to the trail runner world! :) It's honestly so hard to go back, especially with how light gear is getting these days. Much less need for a heavy supportive boot

Definitely, planning on doing a review video of the Altaplex pretty soon now that it's been out on a decent expedition.

Loved my Alton ultralight tarp and hammock. Just so cool to be liberated from a tent. Makes for a much nicer (and lighter) sleep system.

Although I haven’t hammock camped yet I am Definitely a fan of the tarp. It really is lighter and so much more open in a sense, makes you feel more in nature :)

😲 that deadcat and mic combo are obviously the bomb! I felt like I was sitting out there with you rather than hearing all the horrible wind static that mics usually record. My favourite bits of kit... one of them has to be my 2 new 6L jerry cans for water storage in my canoe... I can go for 3 days without needing to filter and they fit so snuggly behind my seat. My gopro would also have to be another one... love the voice control function in the canoe! There are other fav's and fails, which you'll see on my gear video when I finish the editing 😉... definitely not ultralight though, lol.

The mic did surprisingly well, the wind was crazy! So true! I have a 10L bladder for kayak camping and not having to filter water is bliss! I completely forgot about mentioning the voice function. It’s such a massive game changer when the GoPro is mounted somewhere out of reach (used it heaps on the kayak like you would have on the canoe) Looking forward to seeing the video!

Wow! what a crazy windy day! Great video, good to hear what worked for you and what didn't. I've always loved my GoPros and have also recently also upgraded to a Hero 9 (thanks to the Cyber Monday sales). Interesting that the Joby tripod didn't work for you, I've used mine quite a bit, although it is getting quite worn now and the legs sometimes fall off. Other kit that has worked well for me as been my Alton Goods 3 x 3 tarp, SOS Escape Bivvy OD Green, Term-a-rest NeoAir XLite Ultralight Air Sleeping Pad, and of course my Uncharted Supply Co Rapid Raft!

Its really nice having that front facing screen isn't it? Just gives you a bit of peace of mind with framing. I used the plastic one first and had the same issues with legs break off, then went to the metal 3K Pro and it was ok but maybe my OCD came through and just found it a bit fiddly for my more run and gun style. They are very versatile though. If your rafter didn't make the cut I would have been crazy surprised hahaha

100% to Velcro! So much easier to take your feet out between climbs, what brand and model did you go with?
