Hey Alan! Is this still your current gear or have you switched things up?
Hey! This was the gear I took on the PCT and has changed a little bit over the last years. Mainly swapping packs and tents. The other stuff has stayed largely the same
@@alan_long thank you for your response and insight, hope all is well in life!:)
This is superb, great job
Thank you! Cheers!
I feel like your voice audio could have been louder. Great vid.
When the next video drops in a year or two I'll adjust audio a bit more haha. Cheers!
Brother you need give us some more of this content! You would blow up if you posted often, imo
Keep making videos they are so well put together
Very informative as to just how much "fluff" we think we need and what we actually need.
The Squeeze bottle bidet is dumfoundingly genius.
Probably my favorite piece of gear tbh. Ex girlfriend approved and used one too
spectacular vid
👏👏👏
When you are on the trail and your gear needs replacing how do you get access to it?
That's a tough one honestly. Things like shoes you can kind of guestimate and mail yourself in advance. But when a sleeping pad leaks you can try and order one to the next town and pick it up but it's pretty stressful tbh. Or if you're lucky to be near a bigger town you can try to get something in person which is faster and easier but logistically a bit complicated. There's not really a good answer. Just depends on what it is and where you are.
ngl that squeeze bottle "bidet" is genius! stealing that.
the music is so fitting. also the font. where can we see more of your creative work?
Nice to meet you.
Awesome share, new friend here. Have a great day.
Thanks for the comment :) glad you enjoyed
@@alan_long my pleasure
Really appreciated the style and feel of the video - it was simple but sleek. Hope you're covering more of your adventures soon!
And I am still pissed the zipper goes exactly the wrong way. Just for me maybe but I hike the zipper to close toward my right arm.
awesome video! this looked incredible. JT is such a special place, i’d love to give this a try sometime
Perfect timing that I just found your channel today! Looks like an awesome trip, such a stark landscape
Always nice to see a new vid from you dude. Looks like quite the trip.
Thanks duder! hope youre doin well.
Amazing cinematography and ambience
epic video, very evocative and captivating 👏

oop thanks, just updated
2:30 - what's written on the bottle? Dou... something
"Do not touch for hiker" the water was cached in the park (with permission)
Love how chill and original this is - feel like a lot of hiking videos now have the same gear and editing style
I like the idea of carrying the empty bear canister on the outside! I switched to a larger pack for the sierra’s because of that thing.
I’ve had bears walk into camp uninvited. I keep my food in the can at all times.
What was the total weight of your gear?
hey what's the song playing ? =)
It’s amazing that a blind man can both hike the PCT and do so ultra lightly! Congratulations to you, sir! Well done!
the big three...pack, shelter, and sleep system...the gatewood poncho, provides three uses....rain cover, pack cover and shelter....at about 11 ozs.....jacks r better stealth quilt....is a sleeping bag and can be used as a poncho, replacing the puffy.....saving weight and precious space, in the pack, maybe allowing for a smaller pack...
Do you have to carry a bear canister on the entire pct?
Nop
@@alan_long i like to know when i don’t have to carry a bear canister on the pct, can you tell me?
As a train rider you hikers need to take care of your gear better.
Hey Just ran Into your videos! Looking forward to your pct video! And I tried to follow you on the gram but couldnt find you
Got an idea for you - spurred by worries of splashback from the butt sprayer - stick the nozzle through a big leaf as a disposable spray guard
Where'd u get the lab wash bottle?
Grainger. But you can find them on Amazon too
New hike video soon?
😳😳😳
Really enjoyed this video, love how worn down and used your gear looked because it shows that you use them heavily and it works for you. I've watched several other gear videos and I didn't notice how nice and clean other people's gear looked until I watched this one. I can really believe that you hiked the PCT with this gear. I also love how you use basic everyday items like a trash bag or plastic baggie for storing things. I don't backpack (going to try next spring!) but I travel with only a small backpack, and when I first started, I used ziplock bags and other containers I had in my house for organization and storage. So it's nice to see a pro do the same! The only thing that I raised an eyebrow at was the clothing but that's because I personally get cold very easily. I would definitely add base layers and a puffy to my kit. Overall, so cool to see that you hiked the entire PCT with so little!
Thanks for the comment! There's so many fancy things marketed towards hikers and backpackers but honestly a lot of it just isn't worth it imo. Save the money and spend it on the really important bigger items! I think people should always hike with what keeps them safe and comfortable. Obviously there is a difference between weekend backpacking and long distance hiking! You should always pack according to your trip and what works for you but more often than not people can be comfortable with less than they think :)
Some people are much harder on gear than others. I treat my UL gear very gently. I am not saying he is hard on gear. UL gear is just not made as durable in general especially the packs.
trail bidet is next level
ngl probably my favorite piece of gear second to the quilt
nice
I love how your calming your video is and that all your gear shows the character of your travels.
Super informative and clear
This short lifespan is a problem with these types of packs. But the price there really should last many years. And yes, even a multi med hike should not wear them out. Problem is the materials are so lightweight they are just not durable. I kind of feel like if people were simply and better physical condition(including myself) the weight to the pack wouldn’t be such a big deal. Especially for young people. Back in the 70s when I started hiking my pack was probably double the weight of this and it didn’t cause me any issues.
I wouldn't really consider this pack to have a short life, I've had the pack for 5 years and just retired it. I used it before the pct and well after for all kinds of things, daily gym bag, climbing crag pack and backpacking. To hold up to all of that for 5 years plus a complete thru hike is impressive to me. I agree physical condition is important but there is no need to put your body under unnecessary stress carrying things that won't be used for the majority of the time spent on a long trail. Most of your time is spent walking so have a comfortable time doing it imo.
Pounds and ounces mean nothing to me
🤷
Always bring and use two poles for hiking at all times one It will almost help prevent you from rolling your ankle falling slipping tripping when walking on slippery rocks accross a river or down hill or up hill on slippery leaves and loose dirt and sand surfaces I love hiking poles, I'm 30 and been using hiking poles since I was 11 in bouscouts. Only difference between my pack and yours is that I have a fishing pole that is telescoping rod and reel with a tiny tackle box with baits and hooks ECT and have fished some of thespt amazing secluded areas you could imagine, bass fished under a giant waterfall and fished for rainbow trout and salmon in a beautiful rivers and ponds on the trails plus it gives you a nice little dinner when you catch one or two nice fish
thanks for not doing your part to keep our bears and hikers safe....NOT OK
@neda nother Never had any bear issues and respectfully disagree. Bears in Yosemite are known to roll bear cans off cliffs to break them open and get at the food. The best thing I can do is let a bear know that humans shouldn't be associated with food in the first place. Bear cans are a deterrent. Your first line of defense is intelligent actions and proper planning. I didn't cook at all on the pct, I kept my food in odor resistant bags, and slept with my food. If an animals is going to be going after my food I would want to know about it, not stand by and watch as a bear tosses my can around for hours while I wait and hope I can get my food back to keep hiking. On top of that you can look at the rec.gov map of where bear cans are required in the Sierra, it's all of Yosemite and select pockets elsewhere. If bear safety was truly a concern bear cans and required food storage would be instated all over the Sierra and the PNW. The reason bears are an issue in Yosemite is from decades of visitors a) not picking up their trash. b) feeding animals. I'd love to hear a more in depth explanation of what "not doing your part" actually means. If you want to support bear safety you should probably be more concerned with habitat destruction, human encroachment, hunting permits, and climate change.
We want to see your PCT hike!
That butt cleaner bottle is genius. It would be great for general hygiene too. No more swamp crotch.
thanks for the vid trying to go ul or close to it .just brought (used ) a hyperlight 34 ,for my ADT trip ,learn on the PCT last year weight is a killer
I was missing a few pieces of gear in the quality/weight that I wanted. Our opinions are so similar, you’ve convinced me to look into those few extra things I need.
Good Info, thanks a lot
Very interesting and informative! Thanks!
