#CDT #gearlist
Very much enjoyed your CDT adventure. Thanks for sharing your journey.
👍thanks : )
I love the idea of writing a hitchhiking message on your tyvek ground cover. I never thought of that.
Oh yea a few of the thru hikers had that, very smart idea!
The tyvek is a multitool!
for 2018, and the CDT, you certainly have given us the best videos and loads of information of the trail, so can only say thank you
john horsfall thank you for watching the videos ! Happy trails
I agree the best CDT videos, thanks Baskets
Great stuff, enjoyed the kit review and general talk on gear 👍🏽👣👣👣👣🏔
Awesome review, congrats on your CDT. Thanks for the great info.
Thanks Baskets for sharing Steel's kit. I have watched a number of gear video's of late. I am most impressed by Steel's selection and practiced view. And yes to packing a trowel and packing out TP! Among the best practices I saw that I will shamelessly steal was the multi purpose Tyvek sheet. I have used Tyvek for a ground sheet under a tarp and instead of a footprint for my BA tent. I will also add, the white sheet is a great rescue marker for aerial searches; better than blaze oranges. Backpackers Bistro, heh, check it out.
👍
Thanks for doing these gear reviews. There was another hiker also interviewing his friends gear and I learn most from these types because it's straight and to the point without endorsements and commissions... amazon money links etc...
Thanks Baskets!
Todd Stull : ) right on! I love watching gear videos too
Amazon blows! I only buy books from them, and I don't even like doing that. But on the trail I occaionally got something from them when I could send it to a physical address. They dont play well with USPS as SO MANY hikers found out when their packages got returned or delayed.

Jason Repko, I just ordered the HMG in black. Have you still had great success with this pack? Any hacks or advice? I appreciate any additional feedback you may have to offer. I step off Springer Mountain on February 16th👍
Oh, Steel, Thanks for the heads up on Backpacker's Bistro. I'll definitely check her out for QUALITY food. Appreciate it!
OMG... her stuff is SO GOOD! Please tell her where you first saw her stuff :)
Awesome gear review. I’ll have to checkout the backpackers bistro meals for future trips. Thanks for posting Baskets.
Your welcome ! And happy hiking 👍
thanks for the heads-up on Backpacker's Bistro!! Never heard of her stuff and I will definitely use for my next hike.
Tc Gregory your welcome !
Please let her know where you first heard :)
I appreciate the load out Vid. I just ordered this pack and may try to use this for this year’s AT attempt. I will need to determine if it will support my gear for my February start. If not, I will switch to it after I dump some of my winter kit. Thanks brother👊
This was great! Thank you for sharing.
👍👍👍
Thanks for the gear review
Cool gear vid bro
This helped me out a lot appreciate it.
I like to rewatch this video, most of his stuff is a real deal like the jacket, sleeping bag. Feathered friends? Dayummm, That’s really high end investment
Yeah he’s a Backpacking & Adventure Guide, knowledgeable and uses top notch Gear.
Baskets I like how he explain thing very calm and I love how he put things very organized. I always wanna try thru hike but hiked 6miles already gives me blister and recovering from muscle pain and blister took about 5 days -_-
Baskets thanks for the video !!
Outstanding- great gear and great advice! I’m going to check out some of the items. That rain jacket, though $$$$
SectionHiking The AT it’s worth it for the quality, the duplex is 600 plus also, only reason I didn’t get one
SectionHiking The AT Totally! Looking back on the weather, it was mostly driving wind from CO north with crazy random storms along the way...and a lot of sun. One can get by with a less expensive option for sure. A Frogg Togg top just for rain would be fine, but they won’t last when worn regularly. Then have a 1-2 ounce windshell that is your daily top (lots of options out there for that). Certainly the OR Helium 2 is worth a look for less $, but it wets out fast. This Montbell shell is pricey but it’s super light and surprisingly durable and the paclite GTX is the most wp/breathable I’ve ever worn.
Jason Repko Thanks!! I’m discovering gear that may be great for an overnight doesn’t always work on longer hikes. I’ve been a frog togs poncho fan, but will need something more durable soon.
It is. If you're doing the AT though...
Great video! Super helpful, thank you
Thanks for watching!
Baskets trying to decide on going frame less with a MLD Burn or get the HMG 2400, if I had enough money I’d get both haha
Frameless worked great for me, I think sub 11 baseweight frameless works nice , definitely good to try out both and see what’s right, I love my Pa’lante 39L w no hipbelt and the comfy thick shoulder straps ! Good luck
Baskets thanks man! I live in Florida so most of my hiking here I use a gossamer gear vagabond frame less pack which is fine because I don’t need much here. Trying to find something bigger that I can use up in Georgia/Tennessee as well as Colorado later in the year :)
Baskets I’m a section hiker that likes to pack more like a thru hiker :)
Hey steel- I was surprised you had a 20 bag and an XLite and a duplex in your pack. That’s very impressive. Was the duplex sideways?
12.2 lbs base weight :)
Jason Repko thanks 👍
Great gear video! Hey Baskets have you heard anything from Nope since you got back from your trip? Just curious how he finished up the trip. It was fun following both of you and he just kind of disappeared. Just curious.
we were doing back to back 40 plus mile days he just fell back, and was right behind us, he finished in Waterton half a day later.
Qwiz trowel is made by Robert Kelly from Ohio, not Australia
Thanks Baskets and Steel, great video. Steel mentioned a tarp in New Mexico. Next year I was planning on doing the same thing on the CDT. I flip flop back in forth on bringing a bivy for wind/Dust. I'd rather leave it and the extra weight if I can get by without it.just use ground cloth. Any thoughts?
And if you read this Steel, Thanks, now I'm back to reconsidering the Duplex over the pleximid. (for Chama Northward)Thanks again Baskets, my friend!
Happy trails !
Heartsong Howdy... you know, a really light bivy for condensation and bag protection is a great idea. In fact, you could do the entire trail with just a tarp and bivy if you’re comfortable in that set up. I love the Duplex. I really think that ZPacks hit the nail on the head with this particular tent and feel it’s their flagship product for sure. It’s palatial for one person especially when having to hunker down, which you’ll do a lot on the CDT. Have fun! Its awesome.
You nailed it! Go tarp from the Mexi border to Chama and have your axe, spikes, and Duplex (perfect!) waiting for you there. Send the tarp ahead to say... Rawlins, WY. But you will probably find by Wyoming the bugs are getting bad, and by Yellowstone - holy hell. Then you never know with weather along the ID/MT border and it's getting colder as you get further into MT. But ID/MT was pretty cozy for me. Have fun!
Oh, and I have more at jasonrepko.com under Trail Gear.
Nice gear review! Thanks for the video. On your CDT thru hike what was your average mileage per day when you were hiking? Thanks JT. from Oregon
104 hiking days for the whole CDT due to so many alternate routes, not sure what my total cdt mileage was, with getting lost extra miles and all that I’d say atleast 25 + per day average ( I have 4 40 plus mile days ) bunch of 30 s and a lot of those 20 to 30 milers
Strictly speaking "...when you were hiking" I was averaging maybe 25-32 miles per day when it was moderate to easy terrain. Occasional mid high 30's, a few days in the teens (sounds like a weather forecast, eh?) when dilly dallying. If we're simply talking the math: 3000 miles / 130 days = 23 miles per day. That's start to finish, all included...
Baskets Thanks JT.
That looks like si view park in north bend
Yup , I bike there a lot !
OMG ur gonna do that trail to its harder then at trail I just watched whole vieis with dixie she did all 3 trails triple crown
12 pounds seems heavy for the equipment you are carrying. Do you have a lighter pack so I can see the weight breakdown.
That weight is not including a few items I showed here. Maybe the food, electrolytes, a few personal items. I use the poles, they don't stay on my pack. Add a pound and call it good. I don't get too hung upon the weight. Along the way you add, subtract, send stuff home, leave stuff for others... All good.
This is a GREAT ASS VIDEO ! ! !
YERMO Adan what a nice comment, thank you 🙏
I didn’t see much ass in it
Thank you!
I don’t think zpacks offer the solplex anymore. I think the pleximed has replaced it. Not sure though
Yes plexamid has replaced it
Baskets Yep. I haven’t seen one yet but it’s essentially the solplex in size and shape, minus the second pole and the addition of a slightly squared peak which increases headroom a bit. Duplex is far roomier :)
Great review! The small toggels gor the sleepingpad, were did you buy them?
Ove Nordström not sure if Steel sees the comment maybe he can answer
Those were stick on toggles from ZPacks. You can also use the stick on mitten hooks too. Pretty easy to make too.
Jason Repko great gear interview to you both. May I ask who makes your pants that you’re wearing in the video, please? Thanks in advance.
How much bleach would you add per liter to make it safe to drink without it being overkill?
If Steel sees this comment he will answer, I personally would not recommend bleach it makes the water taste gross.
That's what I was wondering. Bleach by itself has a really weird sharp lemon flavor to it so I was wondering if it would lend that similar metallic taste to the water. Sawyer water filter it is :-)
Shame on me for not watching the video in its entirety before asking the question. He just said it. Two drops per liter. Thanks dude.
Tier 1 Citizen 👍
I use two drops per liter and wait 30 minutes. Less if I know it's good water. Regular household bleach. More here www.jasonrepko.com/trail-gear/
Baskets, I notice on the 2019 AT Garden State had a Z Packs Duplex which is a bit lighter than the Copper Spur. Now which would be your preference and why?
Zpacks
Lighter
More room
All around better
Bigger vestibule made nicer
Great question
Loved the copper but the zpacks is wayyy Better
Thanks for the quick answer. Planning a thru hike but it’s still a few years away. Acquiring as much gear knowledge as I can so the input
Is appreciated...got happy thumbs and hit ‘send’ too quick.
how much alcohol did you carry, where did you carry it?
You talking the stuff I drink, or the kind I light on fire? Ha! I carried a 0.5 L platypus soft bottle. I would by a bottle of Heet (the yellow) from any gas station for $3! It's fuel line antifreeze. Available everywhere, litterally. That would fill up the fuel bottle and that would last 12-15 days depending on how much coffee and hot coco I cranked out and weather temps.
May have missed it, but wish had heard his base weight?
Pete Keener hi Pete, 12.2 pounds
Very nice! Thanks!
How long do you wait after you add the bleach before drinking? Thanks
30 minutes to be safe. I would wait 10-15 if I thought the water source was clean, but unlike Baskets, I always treated my water even when I though it was perfect.
@@jasonrepkodotcom thanks.
Stopped treating my water in the San Juan’s lol ain’t got time for that : )
Did you carry a firearm while in grizzly territory?
I got bear spray in Idaho
U 2 new dot make more videos a hike
