pretty funny, I actually watched this independently of another video of yours from like 7 years ago where you went SUL. I only just made the connection that you were the same person :D great loadout.
Some gear is still the same! I definitely think a few extra pounds makes a trip way more comfortable. But it is fun to try and go as light as absolutely possible once or twice a year. I appreciate you watching both videos!
@@ivaylotsankov7292 I have taken my pack out once so far, I have another trip in two weeks. The pack was very comfortable, I had no problems reaching my water bottles. I was very impressed. My 58 seems the right size for me. My other pack has a lot of pockets where this one does not. Packing was a little different but really was not an issue. I did get two hip belt pockets but only needed one on my first trip. The hip belt is thinner than my other pack but I found this one to actually be more comfortable.
Dude I love those columbia pfg sun hoodies not ultralight but decent! So comfortable and fit really well, I've heard they are really tough but avoid small wires and velcro
Yeah, it's been a while. But I've also been using a lot of the same gear the past couple years. Trying to upgrade and retool this year. It was also really beneficial to finally use Lighterpack and be able to easily see where I can still drop weight. Thanks for watching!
@@CameronHall88 my hiking buddy turned me onto Lighterpack and now I use it for every trip. I’m getting old so I use it as much as a check list as I do to monitor my pack weight.
Nice video, I noticed you are using a smart water bottle with the sport cap and you have the sawyer squeeze like I do. After you finish, filling your bottle work the sport cap into the clean side of the Sawyer, and give it a little back flush straight from the sport cap. It fits perfectly with a little bit of force. I have been using this method to backflush my Sawyers for about two years and you don’t need any extra stuff. Another good trick is to just push the sport cap into the clean end when you’re filling it and you can’t knock your bottle over this also works if you attach some cord to the bag and hang it as a gravity filter. there’s enough friction between the sport cap in the filter to hold a full bottle of water Hanging on a gravity feed.
I love camping. I love hiking also. It's hard to balance the two sometimes. I do really enjoy the little backpacking trips with the family where we bring lots of extras.
I don't carry much of a first aid kit and I never have in the past. I actually don't know that I've ever used the ibuprofen either. Ive just been lucky i guess. But I am putting together an actual (but still small) first aid kit as I have started going on trips with my kids.
Great review, i moved from a big agnus 2 person to a Durston xmid pro 2 and love it. Before I decided on the xmid, I really considered the tarpent aeon li and the 2 rainbow li. Went with xmid because it was lighter then the previous mentioned. The good thing was all the tarp tents were not available, which gave me more time to research and found the xmid pro 2, which was also not available and really liked it features. If you decide to go the dyneema , xmid pro should meet your needs.
Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I've looked at the XMid Pro2 quite a bit. When I'm actually going to buy a new shelter, it'll definitely be in the top 2 or 3 I'm going to decide between.
Very nice. I like the design of the Rainbow. I was going to try out the cheaper similar designed NatureHike Tagar 1. Love the GSI Java Drip. I'm still more on the comfort side with overnight trips, but trying to go ultralight here and there in case I do longer hikes.
I had considered the (single) Rainbow but didn't like the single door and lack of netting on that side. One of my favorite things about the Double Rainbow design is having basically a double wall on the sides. It prevents me from brushing up against the silnylon and getting anything wet. The tent is so long I don't have much problem with my head or feet touching. I feel like my gear on this list is more on the comfort side of ultralight. Could definitely go lighter with a different shelter and less comfortable pad. But I enjoy enjoying my trips also! I appreciate you watching.
Super helpful video! I'm liking your new pack, it's had me considering frameless packs since you showed it off but its good to know what a loadout looks like to compare to my own. I think my gear is light & minimal enough for a frameless pack if I backpack places where I don't have to carry all my water. My Enlightened Equipment quilt may be my favorite piece of gear, makes winter camping possible for me haha.
It's honestly harder volume wise than weight wise for me. It'll be a lot easier now that I'm not storing water inside the main compartment of my pack. The Enlightened Equipment quilt/sleeping bag has been awesome. Definitely won't be able to use it when it warms up. That thing keeps me really warm.
New sub since I’m in Tx also just checking out what u got. Mine is a bit heavier load out than yours. Doing the Lone Star Hiking Trail in March 4th this year
Awesome. Thanks for checking out my channel Jason. My friends @TheAdventuresofEli and @tangenttrails did the LSHT last year and have videos on their channels. I gave it a go about a decade ago but it was too muddy for me. I hope you have a good trip!
Look into the x-mid Pro 2 if you plan on upgrading to Dyneema. Similar features, easier to set up, and less expensive. I believe a smaller footprint, too. If you do not use hiking poles I believe you can purchase poles for the x-mid and it still comes in lighter than the tarptent
Hey thanks for watching. I've looked at quite a bit with the XMid Pro2. Its a very solid shelter. He's done a great job thinking out all the features. When I go to buy a new shelter later on, it'll definitely be in the top 2 or 3 that I'm deciding between.
Hey Doug, I still have the Zero, and will probably still use it a couple times a year. Its getting older. Still plenty of use left in it but I was wanting to upgrade to something with a few more features. Crazy to think I just nearly tripled my pack's weight and my new pack is only 13 - 14 ounces!
I go to Dinosaur Valley a lot because it's so close to me. There are good trails and campsites at LBJ National Grasslands. The Crosstimbers Trail up on Lake Texoma is a good option as well.
I love my Injinji socks but yeah, the durability is real bad. I have to keep using them though because my feet sweat, chafe, and hurt in regular socks. Loadout looks great! What trip did you do?
I just did a quick 12 mile trip out at Dinosaur Valley. I had less than 24 hours. I'm hoping to put 5 or 6 more nights on this gear over the next couple of weeks. It's tough sometimes balancing everyday life commitments and being able to get time out on trail.
@UltralightOutdoors I hear ya. My work schedule is basically always on call and I cover the whole state. Hard finding time to go out for anything other than an overnight. DSV is a great park, hope the gear worked out well!
Good looking setup, you look reasonably young so probably no worn out joints yet , but if you decide to decide to hike something like the AT you may want to take more Ibuprofen 😂 Other than that looks good 👍
Not for now. Weather is getting warmer, and I don't really need it around here for most hikes when I'm hiking most of the day. I'll definitely add one in later in the year when it cools off. My Ghost Whisperer is almost the exact same weight as my thermal shirt. But not as great for hiking in.
You're right. I started backpacking a little over 20 years ago. So that definitely was present in my backpacking gear selections. Good thing I didn't title this video "Revolutionary Backpacking Gearlist".
Freezer Bag cooking is somewhat popular. The ziploc freezer bags can handle the heat and don't melt. I've never tasted anything off using that method. I can't attest that it's the most healthy thing in the world or not. But I feel pretty comfortable using it.

No hate mail here! I love watching your videos! Keep 'em coming! Always informative and enjoyable!
Thanks Maria! I appreciate you watching.
Perfect video for my 20 minutes on the stair master 😁
Oh man I hate to bore you like that! 😉 I enjoy watching RUclips while on a treadmill or something like that also. I appreciate it!
Had the same thought while here sitting on the shitter
Super happy to find someone else trying out Bonfus. I went with the Framus 58. My first trip coming up this weekend, can’t wait to try it out.
I love it. Really well made. And the ultra material is great. I hope you enjoy yours!
Opinion please i am aiming for 48L

Solid load out.👍
Thanks Jerry!
Maybe you could do a gear loadout of what you carried on the LSHT.
@@CameronHall88 It’s already planned. Just gotta get around to executing it.😄
Probably on my next trip to the grasslands.
nice setup!
Thanks Ben!

Should always avoid wires

This reminds me of Andrew Skurka's book on the difference between an ultimate hiker or an ultimate camper. I've been guilty of both. Nice kit Cameron
I love camping. I love hiking also. It's hard to balance the two sometimes. I do really enjoy the little backpacking trips with the family where we bring lots of extras.
Thanks for sharing this. It makes me want to review my packing list. Do you bring any first aid items besides the ibuprofen bag and leukotape?

I like it , but , I think I will start small business designing in functions of new back pack.
Ok, can we just stop and talk about your fireplace and how awesome it is? Like is this in your house? That thing is fuckin ballin and I want one.
Thanks! Yes, it is pretty nice in the winter. One of the things that drew us to this house when we were looking. You need one!
Nice gear video, as always, but what happened to your Zpacks Zero pack , Cameron ?

Can we talk about how big that fireplace is tho
Amazing comfort for 10 pounds complete to freezing temps very very nice ! Looking forward to seeing Trail vids
Thanks Liz. I'll have more video from trail in the coming weeks.
No puffy?

Junction looks more durable so wont change it to ....that...ever
Is that a hospital pillow
I love watching people catch up like 15 years later, every piece of kit in this and every other vid have been around for a decade +
