Thanks Ryan for the run through on your pack loading. How much did your pack with 7 day food supply weight?

[@ericsnyder9975]

Great video just picked up the IA 8k last November. Thanks

[@fishingwithphil2582]

Thanks Ryan. Exactly what I was looking for 👏

[@sw5315]

I always have my shelter on the top of my pack, so I don’t have to dump my bag to make camp. Good video💪

[@eddiekane1202]

Lots of packs on the market including IA have the beaver tail zip. You can lay your pack flat and access the whole thing top to bottom without having a yard sale

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

I learned packing very heavy packs in 20 years of military service. I find it best to put most of the weight in the center of the pack closest to your back . Sounds just like the way Ryan does it 👊🏻

[@thecoloradoalpine]

And the same way the girl at REI tells people how to pack a pack. Lmao it ain’t rocket science

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

@@thecoloradoalpine so you watch the girls on REI 🤔 guess that’s where you learned 😂

[@thecoloradoalpine]

@@sheerwillsurvival2064 no, but I use the resources of videos to show kids in my outdoor education class. Since we only have 1-2 bags to pack on hand. Lmao

[@nathanr6162]

Thanks for video!

[@perryknetter8577]

Thank you so much Ryan for sharing this great information on your pack
God's Blessings on your all your adventures Will your Daughters be hunting spring Bear with you?

[@StHealthyHunter]

Yes sir, that’s our plan. Can’t wait to get her out for bears!

[@robertnevarez7599]

Nice!

[@journeyman7189]

Thanks for the pack up Ryan. What was that Ti stove you are running with the tipi?
Nate

[@StHealthyHunter]

This was a Seek Outside lg uturn

[@zr2overlander323]

Ryan what is the contractor pad for that you placed in the bottom of the pack? Thank you for the break down really helps!

[@StHealthyHunter]

Heavy duty 55 gallon contractor garbage bag👍

[@steelerbean8403]

Thanks, Ryan. What would you say your average pack weight is there with no water or rifle?

[@StHealthyHunter]

10 day trips it’s 55-65, depending on season and if solo or split with partners

[@justinkilen]

Curious to what your full pack weighs

[@felljager]

How do you pack your camera gear?

[@StHealthyHunter]

I put in all in Brian Call or Brad Hunts backpack😂

[@felljager]

@@StHealthyHunter for sure that's the best way 😂

[@eddiekane1202]

Ryan Lampers is basically backcountry Jesus

[@wswillett]

No, Ryan is real....Jesus is make believe

[@eddiekane1202]

@@wswillett Jesus lived and there’s plenty of evidence that supports that. It’s the stories about Jesus that’s questionable

[@ericinnis]

Why a tarp and a teepee?

[@loic5883]

So that they can sell both products. Joke aside, I always carry a tarp on me in case I need to spend the night away from cap.

[@StHealthyHunter]

Often we set the tipi as base camp and hunt away from it to a vantage point. It’s nice having a lightweight tarp for weather

[@mitchg9285]

U sponsored by stone glacier or are you sponsored by stone glacier? Hard to tell

[@StHealthyHunter]

I don’t get one penny from Stone G. I do wear their clothes because I love em. I’m wearing a duckworth hoody and I run an Initial Ascent backpack if you didn’t notice.

[@RitterFitness]

Don't be an ass. He's sponsored by hard work, experience and determination.

[@user-rg1sj6up1d]

If you have to watch this video stay in front of the sink doing dishes.

[@sleekmedia]

Should have weighed it

[@thecoloradoalpine]

Literally the same basic concept for anytime of backpacking or thru-hiking. Pretty basic knowledge

[@StHealthyHunter]

Agreed

[@diegocasta7026]

Unfortunately common sense aint so common
