Sweet setup and gear as well! I agree with other comment on keeping tent on top so you can pitch first then throw gear in after just in case it’s raining.

good video, with some awesome production value. As for packing the backpack, I would recommend carrying your food lower down near the center of your lower back. This is closer to your natural center of gravity. When you get down to a pretty low base weight, food is probably the heaviest thing in your pack. so keeping it all at the top(away from your center of gravity) could be uncomfortable. I would recommend keeping the majority of your food(items you won't need to access until you get to camp) lower down in your pack and just keeping snacks/lunch items for the day near the top/on the outside.

Yeah. My food is definitely my single heaviest item. I keep whatever snacks or lunch I want during the day in my mesh pocket and keep my food bag at the bottom of my main compartment since I'll be at camp by the time I need it. Makes a huge difference seating that weight as low as possible.

Thanks Paul! I figured while packing it on a 2 night, 3 day hike... the food bag was really not that heavy... but I totally agree with all of you!!! Food should always go near the bottom to balance out your pack! On our 7 day Shenandoah Trip, my food bag came in at almost 9 lbs!!! You better believe I put that near the bottom!!! LOL!!!

Helpful video, I have a 40L framed pack at the moment so seeing how you provide structure was helpful. I see you don’t use any pack liner because you don’t plan on falling in a river. 🙃 It’s always the things you don’t plan that cause the hassles, right? I think the ounce for a liner, even in a seam taped DCF bag isn’t a bad idea. Wet down is no fun. I also like to keep the shelter near the top so if it’s raining at camp you don’t have to pull so much out to get setup.

Great point Paul! I used to put at least my quilt in a bag to protect it but over the past year, I just tend to shove it down the bottom of the pack. This is true though... falling in a river would make for a bad day! LOL! But also keep in mind... I hike with a DSLR setup all the time... falling in a river... the quilt is the last thing I'd be upset about!!! 🤣.... but this is great advise still and I'll start at least protecting my quilt! I don't want to die from hypothermia!!! Thanks for watching!!!

Hey there thanks for the video do share later on your thoughts on the matter. I think you should put you tent closer to the top so you don't have to take all of your stuff out just to set camp. I think big foot does it that way and after I saw him do it on his channel I was converted that's the way to go. Even more when packing again after camp.
@RESTLESSOUTDOORS

Hey Miguel!!! Funny... I would almost always put my tent on top! I still may change over and do it but my reasoning is balancing the load... although I'm not too crazy about the food on top... it may end up being too heavy of an item and make the pack top heavy... Thanks for the input... I may actually try switching the tent up with the food bag and prep my snacks in the fanny pack as I hike!

Nice setup. I might start just shoving my sleeping bag in the bottom. Heaps easier than having to re-stuff it in its sack. Do you find it takes up about the same amount of space as in its sack? Re: the sleeping pad, do you think rubbing from movement might wear it out over time? Would it be better off with another slightly bigger foam rest pad in its place? Not sure, haven't tested it out myself. 🖖

I've never used my quilt stuff sack... stuffing it in like that fills every nook and cranny on the bottom of any pack and definitely makes it less bulky than putting it in a "tubular" sack!!! You should just try it for yourself and see!!!! Not really concerned about any rubbing with the NeoAir... the material is pretty tough... a ton of people have cowboy camped with these pads on straight ground with no issues at all!!!
