Hi from Brazil! I noticed that organizing the backpack is as important as adjusting. I realized that it was the internal organization that caused me some problems. It's really good to keep an eye on it. Bye
Glad to be of service, enjoy your newly comfortable adventures.
Waterproof overtrousers and gaiters in the big front stretchy pocket for quick access.
Anker powerbank and other electrical in a dry bag near the centre back.
Add a couple of carbine hooks on the outside loops to dry off wet socks et al whilst hiking to the next camp.
Loads of flapjacks and cereal bars in the hip belt pockets too. 😀
I love my Osprey water bladder to drink from. It’s very convenient but a real pain to refill later in the day. I have to unpack half the rucksack to get it back in.
Sounds like you've got it nailed! Flapjacks are always a winner.
I like to keep my electronics - which happen to be the heavier items in my pack - in a fanny pack to keep the weight out of the pack. HMG pack BTW.
Thank you. Trekkit is fast becoming my go to channel for valuable advice on all things hiking, camping, etc. Great content that I'm happily sharing with my friends as well.
Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the kind words, that's great to hear 🙌
Really awesome! Big fan of the Osprey Kestrel as a day pack and for short travels!
Us too!
Thanks for the video 👍
Thank you this has been a very helpful I’m about to wild solo camp for the very first time I have no clue about any of this I’ve got all my kit and I just looking at how to pack it so thank you
Good luck!
Me: Struggling from discomfort for 3 years trying to find some *TECHNOLOGY* to pack things comfortably
Author: First - think which items you gonna need more often and pack them closer to you
Me: *25 years old happener face* I KNEW I WILL FIND THIS SECRET!
Brilliant advice, thankyou
I always put my tent in the bottom zipped compartment then it's easy to get out without emptying your pack in bad weather also you can pack up in your tent then drop the tent and put it in the bottom while all your kit is inside your pack
Yeah good shout.
Hannah, you are the fastest packer around.
😂
Very helpful thanks.
You're welcome!
Don't believe this dumb woman, she packed it completely wrong. it will not only exaust you but also possibly damage your spine.
Heavy things go at top not bottom of sack
I always have a giggle at these people with these Osprey (and similar) packs when they have to cross bodies of water.. It only took a few instances of having to drag my load-out across rivers and lakes in the Army Reserve to know that once I finished up, I would never take a non-waterproof bag on my personal travels, considering the places I usually end up.. To answer your possible question as to what bag I use, it's the Caribbee Trident 2.0 32L waterproof bag, inside which I have luggage organisers so I don't have to pull the whole bag apart when I want something from the bottom of the bag.. I have also used it as a floatation device when the shitty small boat I was on in Thailand capsized. The people I was with who had bags like this one simply had to watch their electronic belongings get drenched, and/or watch them sink to the bottom of the ocean by the time the second boat arrived 5 minutes later to collect us..
Fair point, but I think that the majority of end-users will never have to endure the kinds of terrain and conditions that you describe. Thanks for watching. Paul.
Waterproof dry bags within a none waterproof bag is a good option. Fully waterproof bags suffer from not draining. Any water that gets in stays in.
Look up US ARMY TC 21-21. You can use a non waterproof Rucksack as a floatation device. How far are you travelling with this bag on your back? How is the load distribution? Does it have a frame? Giggle away, but seems like you are comparing apples and oranges.
Apples and oranges indeed. The Caribee Trident is a 32L day pack and far too small for the extended backpacking treks that the Osprey in the video is designed for. Waterproof pack materials like PVC fabrics are significantly heavier and weaker than the rip-stop nylon common to modern technical packs which is why almost nobody makes a completely waterproof backpack in larger sizes. Most nylon fabrics are coated for waterproofing anyway and though the entire pack will not be waterproof due to design features that create openings or seams, it's not particularly useful when dry sacks are readily available.
Please Hannah, review the osprey daylite travel pack.. ❤️
Unfortunately is isn't an item we stock, so we aren't able to carry out a video just yet. If we choose to stock it in the future we'll make sure to add it to the list. Kind regards, Harry.
Thanks 🥂
You're welcome!
Hi, I am interested as to the contents of your First Aid Kit, is it one you have made up yourself?
Hi Stuart, we are massive fans of these 1st Aid kits - www.trekitt.co.uk/facetresults.aspx?Term=first%20aid%20kit. They come fully prepared, but you can add your own personal preferences to suit.
Wow camping is 😴😍
Does women's packing weight distribution differ than men's?
Hi Katherine, there's no difference, the principles apply to both men and women.
What’s a group shelter? A tarp??
One of these: www.trekitt.co.uk/facetresults.aspx?Term=Group%20shelter
Essentially a little portable tarp/shelter which you can shelter in if the weather turns for the worse. Kind regards, Harry.
It's not designed to replace a proper tent, it's primarily used a temporary shelter if you get into trouble. It can also be used to provide a dry place for meal breaks in adverse conditions. There are no poles - you pull the shelter over your head and tuck the waterproof seating panel underneath you when you sit down.
@@trekitt interesting
Lt of your bag?
36
@@trekitt but it look like 50 60 Lt capacity
@@kezhanakhro6267 That's because Hannah is 5ft 1"; most packs look large next to her.
@@trekitt oho... 🙏
No matter how you pack the bag, it feels heavy after an hour climbing hills...especially when you're more than 65 yo.
True, but heavy and comfortable is better than heavy and uncomfortable. Harry
What size rucksack were you using there?
Hannah was using the Osprey Kyte 36 (36 litres). We currently have 3 left at 40% off if you were interested! I'll pop a link below. Kind regards, Harry.

You don't want the weight at the bottom of the L going out. It will be dragging you backwards the whole time. You actually want the L upside-down. Heavy stuff close to your back and on top. NOT on bottom.
Bring clothes?
so you have to pull every thing out of the rucksack to get to your tent flysheet - WRONG - go ask any real camper how to do it
I presume your not taking any spare clothes?
We'd normally take a few spares for an overnighter; more so during winter.
