I just want to thank-you for not going out when it isn't safe or just not finishing even though your close to the top just because it is unsafe. This world has put to much pressure on getting it done now with out giving consideration of the consequences of their actions but you show that this is normal when things don't work and doing it another day is okay. If it isn't safe out there continue with the gear and maybe throw in some skiing videos there at some resort like squaw where it is safe.

Great series Cody. Here's some add ons every pack should have - multi tool or knife, lighter, big orange garbage bags, compass, spare batteries for beacon and headlamp. Especially the big orange garbage bags, they add very little weight and they can be used for building shelters or sleeping inside of and they are great for signaling rescuers

One random suggestion for your first aid kit that takes up virtually no extra weight/space and is well worth having is maxi pads to go with the clotting bandage. I once was patch skiing in August off Carson pass and sliced my leg to where I could see the muscle by sliding over a rock after my pin binding pre-released. Luckily there happened to be some off-duty search and rescue guys hiking with their families in the area that saw the whole thing, they had homemade first aid kits with maxi pads and it worked great to put maxi pads on the wound, their wrappers over that, and duct tape the whole thing shut. I had gauze and some bandages in my own first aid kit but they were not enough on their own to close the wound. A ski strap also was crucial as a tourniquet

There are not just for ski mountaineering but for touring up tracks that are slippery as heck in the spring time. Yahoo dude, keep up the good work

Try Raw Energy Bars from Hammer Nutrition. One of the best things about them is that they're easy to eat when they're butt cold. I remember when Power Bars first came out. They were impossible to eat when cold. Plus, they don't make anything with simple sugars. Sugar is really bad for endurance, not to mention health in general. Hammer Nutrition makes the best endurance supplements and fuels you can buy. My main fuel source is Perpetuem and I bring a bar for before the descent and a protein recovery bar for about five minutes before I get back to the car.

Appreciate you sharing Cody! The SAM splint and a satellite messenger have definitely become a staple in my pack after a bad accident on Culebra last spring, where my buddy broke his ankle and we ended up having to walk out into the night. Splint probably would've helped him some, and the GPS on the his garmin inreach helped save our ass for sure! Heli straps always a lifesaver too, just put them to use on Mt. Yotei last week when my binding broke at the top(snowboarder). Hope the mountains start opening up soon, stay safe!

An even more budget beacon is a COSPAS-SARSAT PLB (I have the Ocean Signal one, which is very compact). Those things are one-way only and the satellite network can only be used for emergencies, not for tracking, but the upside is that they do not require any plan. You buy it, register it with your national authority, and you're good to go. You (or someone from your party) do need to be conscious to activate it if needed, but they're still a lot better than just a smartphone, as the coverage is fully global.

Yay someone else who uses a bigger pack 👍 Yeah I’ve always used like a 32L minimum to like a 40L. People will always be like, “what’s with such a big pack?” and of course this is coming from someone who doesn’t even have a pack (and I 90% of the time wear my pack even when I’m skiing on the resort), but anyways I start telling the person all the good, valuable stuff I have in my pack but yet they still don’t get it. They don’t get it until boom! It all of a sudden gets way hot out and I take my jacket off and stuff it in my pack. Next thing I know they’re asking me if I have room for their jacket too 🙄 Also when I was going through all my Outdoor Education classes at Colorado Mtn College Steamboat Springs during any class that would be out in the field. I always found myself to kind of be the Medic of the group. Which I didn’t mind at all because it was a great routine and practice at the time. My first aid kit is one that I built up myself as well and not just some REI special. It’s also always a little different depending on the length of the trip, what kind of activity is being done and sometimes what time of year it is or the climate of the area I’ll be in. But hey so kind of a big question but why don’t you rock an AirBag back pack?? I got one once it had been out for a couple years, so that all the bugs have been worked out of them and that they were as small/light weight as they possibly could be. I just def agreed that $1000-1500 is money well spent on a product that does work, very well too I think. I got the BlackDiamond JetForce 35L Pack. Which is an awesome pack because it’s modular being that I can buy an extra 10-25L of storage that just zips on or off of the pack. I just saw that as a little odd that you don’t rock one even you’re a professional and obviously can afford one too. So why a No Go to the AirBag back pack??

Hey. King 👑. I have a technical question for you... I just bought a smith code helmet and mounting my gopro mount on... same way you have it but seems weird... there is only a small portion of glue that actually sticks to helmet... any advice from your mod shop 😀. Thx. Have fun with the fifty project... can’t wait for new episodes. Regards from Slovenia, Europe

Such an amazing series Cody, currently rewatching for pre-season stoke! I realized in this episode that you didn’t mention a 2-way radio system, but I’ve noticed you using them on several lines. Do you have a favourite? I’m looking for one for this season.

Have you tried DPS Phantom, yet? Wax alternative, never have to wax again. I switched and I'm loving not having to wax.

I have extremely long hair. I bought this thing called a hightail, it goes on the back of the helmet and its like a cargo net for your hair. makes wearing a helmet actually safe now lol

Love the series! Entertaining and informative. Whats that ear flap hat you wore on occasion last season? I too dislike beanies but love having a billed hat. Ive looked for a solid ear flap hat for a little while but not found anything I like. Thanks man. Be safe!
No. You. Stop ... Watch this. The man knows his shizzle. Are you a mountain guide? No! Are you a FIS racer? No! Somewhere in the middle? Cody is 836 steps ahead of you. This piece will learn you up good. As someone who has spent over two decades charging gnar in the backcountry, this video is a confirmed distillation of some very good, very efficient, and very practical tips & tricks for moving well, being comfortable and having fun! That said ... None of this is a formula for knowing your stuff. Play safe. Get home.

That’s a good point I forgot to make, this is “my” formula that works for me but is in no way “the” formula. Thanks.

Did you document how you modified your helmet with the elastic cord? Neat trick & definitely looking to incorporate aka steal that

Cody, Curious about your ice axes. You have the Gully right? How does it do on steeper, icier terrain? I guess I am concerned they might ping off ice given the light weight. I climb mostly on Mt Hood where we get 10-30' ice steps we need to power up. Nothing sustained. Curious about your thoughts after using the gully on some intimidating routes. Keep it up, brother. And holler if you need any Newton Clark beta!! Its in great shape currently BTW!

Most definitely can. They were actually originally designed for biking.

Dude, amazing stuff. Thank you! I love the way you've packaged your med kit, too. Definitely going to steal that one. For the heli straps, what lengths have you found most useful for those exceptional situations?

Enjoying your series. When you are in Canada, there is a little known LAW that you must call a beanie a "toque". Really

Sucks to hear you had a bad experience with your platypus bag but good with your MSR one. They are made by the same company Cascade Designs believe it or not
