@@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling It varies greatly on how far you go, terrain, heat/sun, how much you are exerting yourself, and the persons size. 7k cals is definitely on the verrrry high end. 3000-4000 is a lot more common.
one of the best videos on that subject i have ever seen, with someone who finally goes into the necessary details of whats in the pack and what am i wearing… 👍
The fact that Waymark is “still not sponsored” is a shame. I had never heard of them until this channel (And I’m sure I’m not the only one). Come on Waymark, the man has without a doubt brought in customers for you. Safe travels D, hope all goes well!
I think that’s his choice. I was under the impression he even helped make that bag Edit: just watched the end of the vid, def his choice. But I’m with ya! I’d never heard of them either
Darwin, I just booked my first ever solo hike/camp trip in Montana in less than two weeks. I'm ecstatic to break away from the matrix of my life & job and find mental clarity out in the mountains. I just found your channel and it's got me that much more excited to use my gear.
Dude, so glad to see you getting back out again. Gear videos are fine but can’t wait for some trail video. I hope you have a great time and am sending good vibes your way stave off the injuries.
I have done long stretches of the AT and have spent some time with through hikers and for some reason many of them did the same thing, cold soaking. Since my stove BRS and Toaks pot weigh nothing, I really don’t get it but for many it’s a thing. No hot coffee leave me out. He is carrying that Anker and for his needs it’s a must buy it’s super heavy. He is very light but because he films his light gear is made heavy carrying all If his filming gear. I also don’t know how he does water carry’s with that pack. Desert travel with eight liters must be brutal. He does it and he is young.
I want to thank you for your reviews and comments. I take them seriously and I have experienced similar issues, because I am similar height, I am heavier weight. I purchased the EVLV, CNOC poles and I actively compare my gear list to yours. I tend to carry more water, more first aid, maybe I do not need to, not sure. Thank you again.
Darwin, i did glacier NP in late july a year or two back and on some of the trails i really wished i had an ice axe like that. There are sections where the trail crosses chutes of snow which are very sketchy. Also make sure to bring gps (i like gaia app) because the snow covers the trail and it’s easy to get lost/disoriented. hope this helps! enjoy!
You should try the Vuori shorts to hike in! My fiance says they're the best running/ workout shorts he's ever worn. They have really nice pockets and a great liner (which is why he loves them).
Thank you Darwin I dig the back ground music have a good start out I am really glad your keeping with your goals .. I am currently heading out of Mount Hood NOBO to the Eagle Creek trail head goal for this season is to reach Manning .. - rebo
Hey Darwin - one reco for your little swiss army knife. You can take of the plastic outer shells and replace them with shells (originals by victorinox) that have room for tweezers, toothpick, firefly, neede etc - no additional wheigt - more utility :)
Very funny, when I started watching you on your first go around on the AT way back when. I distinctly remember hearing something to the effect of, I’m ok being heavyweight, or carrying a little more weight. Yeah I said right there I give him no more than a few months till he turns to the ultralight dark side.
Thanks for the awsome review! Don't think you will be needing the ice axe in glacier I heard they are have record high temperatures so far this year for most of the northern US and even into Canada.
One of my patients ran into you while doing the cDT. Unfortunately he hurt his knee and had to return home for me to check it out. Hoping he gets back on the trail soon.
Random question: I've noticed that you have a super clean tent in a lot of your videos. How do you clean the mud off of your tent after a super heavy rain storm? Are there any cool tricks or is it just a matter of experience?
Can you please explain the dramatic shift in handling of your Waymark EVLV pack on the channel? This is an item that you've touted on numerous occasions and have been very public about having helped co-design. Would definitely appreciate some transparency in why you've gone to de-branding all of your Waymark items (which you're still using) and actively NOT linking to their site in your gear list.
I agree-- as much as he publicly vouched for the Pack that he helped design.(and many subs bought) there should be some transparency on his end with his subs on the move away from them.
>Not sponsored. >Payed for the pack. >Now that we're past that. Perhaps he doesn't want to go into it (now). In the delicate balance between transparency and privacy, I don't feel entitled to an explanation. Too much transparency can make me feel vulnerable and exposed. When that happens, I tend to conceal what I've done that deviates from normal procedures, so I don't have to explain it. Healthy boundaries can be necessary. Between him and other YTers/companies, giving feedback and evaluating, and experimenting in various projects. I feel like I trust his judgement. Thank you.
@@willek1335 I understand what your saying, but disagree when it comes to this specific situation. That pack is something he has promoted over and over on his Channel. Its a pack he co-designed. There is no telling how many of his subs bought that pack specifically becauase its something he promoted/Co-Designed. The shift away from them and de-branding something he previously promoted I think he should be transparent on plain and simple.
@@benhikingoutdoors1632 I disagree that he NEEDS to tell us anything, most likely there was a brand deal and the company and him are having a disagreement. Obviously he still likes the pack and it is a wonderful pack...he is just not driving people to them anymore. If Darwin wants to tell us, he will...if not we move on. (not from Darwin, but from the question)
@@MySoCalledAdventures he doesnt have to tell us anything, completely agree. My view point is this is his YT channel where he stood behind a product and now all of a sudden their dead to him(least it seems that way). Right now niether of us know the actual story. My thing is, that story should be told. Again, he doesnt have to tell us anything, but I feel like its the right thing to do for transparency.
This might be your most evolved gear list so far! I especially like your relatively minimal camera kit (compared to one of your previous kits). Should do the job. Have fun on the CDT 😎👍
i love watching gear videos and i must say, yours are the only ones i can really enjoy. so relaxing. so easy to watch. and even music, that is not distracting but adds to the mood. really appreciated.
Sure beats the 63lbs on my 105lb body that I took travelling in 1984! Needless to say I hitch-hiked rather than hiked. Still had quite a positive adventure for a year.
Can’t wait to see the first videos and hope to see you at the ALDHA Gathering in October!! Keep that bear mace handy!! I just saw that news report of the woman being pulled from her tent in Montana!!
I have a 2L carry capacity in this list. The BeFree is a 1L too. When I get to drier sections, I will pick up my CNOC & will have a 4L capacity. I can also add cheap bottles to my set-up on trail.
You should really get a cleat with a toe spike/ cleats. It's the only reason for cleats in my opinion. That PNW snow is hard as a rock. Good luck on the hike and have fun.
Just my opinion about cold soaking. You do save a small amount of weight not carrying a stove or fuel but how does that compare to having to carry extra water while you cold soak your food?
Ur adding roughly 0.5 lbs of water per meal. That’s not much at all IMO, considering the benefits of not lugging around the other equipment (and space required) for warm meals. I cold soak tho, and will be biased
Dude I love the way you structured the video. Very clear and entertaining. It would have been nice to see some prices as I’m looking for new gear, but I know that was not the intention of the video.
Darwin why don't you carry a spot GPS or similar device that could get you help if something happened. Just curious. Great job on the gear load out. Can't wait to actually see trail videos. Be safe Darwin.
Wow, really ultra light. No extra clothes to sleep in? How about a sit pad? Without a headlamp what do you use if starting early or finishing late? Cold soak everything so no stove?
HI DARWIN 👋 THANK YOU 🙏 BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS ON 🙏 YOUR JOURNEYS / ON THE TRAILS ! SEEING HOW DIFFERENT THIS YEAR WILL BE & THE OPPOSITE WAY TOO ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 THANK YOU 🙏
Change in camera…. The lens is great, sharp…. Look forward to you adventure and would like to hear what you think of the canon m6iii. Have my eye on one…
Watching this makes me want to get into civilian camping. The only time that I have hiked/slept in the woods has been in Army related training where you are carrying 40+ pounds of stuff in a ruck the entire time.
I have that SD to lightning adaptor. Over the years apple has improved their system’s capability to read other formats of content from SD cards. I used to only be able to read certain pics or videos, but now I havent had trouble reading any of the content from those same cameras.
Darwin, Thank you for all of your creative content, videos, and reviews. I really look forward to reach item you pay on RUclips. I hadn't paid attention in the past videos to your camera gear, however, have you always called two cameras and your cell phone? What is the advantage of carrying two cameras vs one camera and a specialized lens? Safe travels and big days, Chris
Something changed for sure - it's normal for thru-hikers and other ultralighters to remove labels, excess straps, etc. to save weight, but he's shown it with the labels in other gear list videos. In the past, he's mentioned it by name and talked about how he helped design it, plus done a whole video on the pack. I'm not sure what the reason is, but now he didn't name the pack or brand, didn't provide a link, and removed the label. He certainly doesn't owe us an explanation, but I'm definitely curious - if he's doing this for a specific reason, maybe others who were previously considering the pack should look elsewhere.
Darwin!!! I discovered you and your channel back in 2019. Now I don’t know if you’ll get this comment or read it, yet I had an idea. I have yet to find a thruhiking RUclipsr that has done the 4,000+ mile North Country Trail. I have always wanted to do a thru hike and the NCT is my ultimate goal because I’ve lived in four of the states it runs through. I just can’t afford to do it. Anyways… It would be awesome to see you take on the challenge that is the NCT.
i got like 40 lbs in my pack right now just to go camping for the weekend.. i gram shave a lot then fill up the saved space with all luxury items.. my poor back will not be able to follow.. thank for the list!
Always a great setup! I love the weight considering the camera stuff too. Thank you for categorizing everything. I hate when people just rattle off a list. Have a wonderful time!
Found you randomly through another channel. I want to say second chance but not 100% certain, maybe Kyle Hates Hiking. Look forward to following your thru-hike, happy trails!!!👣
I think a 2.2 pound bear canister is a must especially through Montana. A women was killed in her tent by a grizzly recently. There 1000 grizzly bears in the Bob Marshal Wilderness.
Yup... thats a hell of a base weight.... my base weight for when I do day hiking with my photo gear is about 13.5lbs (thats 3 lenses, tripod, filters, etc.). I really need to get out for some longer mutliday hikes - its been a while...
Dude I’m not far from the Segment 3 trailhead of the Colorado Trail. You need anything when you get to that area let me know! Trail mother trucking magic!
i would have liked to see that starting food, too!
Yes I never know how much food to bring and usually way over pack
@@allisonnevulis5864 he already said for how many days he packed. that is not the question. i wanted to see what exactly he packed that he got so little weight.
Yeah would love to see that too, not only meals but the snacks on the go. Isn't it 7000 calories a day a thru-hiker burns? Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling It varies greatly on how far you go, terrain, heat/sun, how much you are exerting yourself, and the persons size. 7k cals is definitely on the verrrry high end. 3000-4000 is a lot more common.
@@twomstone_17 right 5000 calories at max!

#stillnotsponsored is a mark of pride here not a cry for sponsorship. He previously did a video talking about why he doesn’t want to be sponsored.
@@enlightened1ne gotcha, thx.
I am guessing he got more (sponsor)money for creating that model so he can remain technically being unsponsored.

Here in BC (squamish/Vancouver area) we still have snow on trails at 1500m. So the ice axe might be beneficial.
Loved this episode. In 2012 we stayed at Many Glacier Hotel. One of the coolest places I’ve ever been. Gorgeous
Amazing base weight! But cold-soaking for 6 months! I would SO miss my stove! Looking forward to following your journey.
Hot coffee is a must for me too.
Same. Especially in the colder start, you might need some stove and warm water for the nights or mornings.
I have done long stretches of the AT and have spent some time with through hikers and for some reason many of them did the same thing, cold soaking.
