The Hilleberg Bivanorak is pretty nice as long as its not too warm outside. It weighs half a kilo, and functions as full body raingear, windbreaker, or a "bivy" that allows you to sit up and cook food or whatever. When used as raingear, it doesnt have as good ventilation as a rain poncho, but still MUCH better than a rain jacket - and it is roomy enough to cover a fairly sizeable backpack too.
Nice video! I also bring a small first aid kit. Also you're allowed to bring chocolate that you like. I'm no coffee drinker but I wouldn't turn down some 12 yo single malt "coffee" if offered.
That was the best coffee I’ve had in along time! ;) I get what you mean with the chocolate there, I’ve turned it into a sport to just bring the nasty one! :)
I bring pretty much the same except for the fire kit, thanks for the idea! What I also bring is a small first aid kit, which I made from an empty can of electrolyte tablets. And a trash bag is always in my daypack, even in my everyday backpack.
I almost agree.. One very important thing missing though.. As one who loves a campfire and doesn't care about weight - at least after my time in the royal guards - i always bring an axe or small hatchet! Great video though! Don't know if you've forgotten, but I haven't. I will get the tent to you, but life.. 😅
So close! Who needs an axe when you have the two handed broadsword of a knife that fits in my little fire kit! ;) No stress about the tent brother, really looking forward to do that video! :)
Comment Section Expert and official Swede-to-be checking in. Unfortunately, they don't sell the Abisko tarp in the US. I've been eyeing various Dyneema ones, but they are super pricey. The ones intended for hammock camping have the most versatility with all their tie out points. The tarp I currently have is a 4mx4m one that goes up over a picnic table when car camping; too big for the trails. Ted, you will be happy to hear I am the proud new owner of a Kajka 75; it has yet to arrive. It's my new winter camping expedition pack. It was such a tough decision between it and a Keb 72, but in the end the front loading of the Kajka won out over the side-zippered Keb. I need full unrestricted access to those big bulky winter items. Singi heater just got 2 coats of wax last night in preparation! No first aid kit on a dayhike? I bring my standard FAK with me on any hike, just in case.
Great choice of gear! Thats a sweeeet looking pack you got there! 😮 and here it is 🤣: I would replace the fire steel, hammock and the heavy sweater with a bic lighter, light weight puffy jacket, a solid knife and a Laplander saw. First aid is always in a leg pocket, right?😅
Great video. What is missing is the listing of the products you use. Maybe there are same items here in Canada, but I don't know what brand or model to look at.
Would add toilet paper in a plastic bag and (depending on your habits) a small spade (yes, that's apparently an English word too! 🤪). Leave no trace! 😉 Great idea with the fire kit - I will steal that one!
Not an expert but it appears you had the bases covered. Always nice to have a few special comforts. As far as chocolate, I like the darker 80-85% types.
Thank you Ted! For me, my buff is essential :) Also good reminder about the trash bag. I always forget about it and have to use a couple of dog poop bags.. Take care!
You inspired me to get out again. 🙋🏼♂🙏🏻 I am actually also an All-In-Fjällräven-Type-of-Person but now I am considering to change more towards the Lightweight-Group at least for backpack, tent etc. Any thoughts on this topic? Kind regards! 🙂
Hej.I bring very much the same clothing and some camera gear.Then a lot of chocolate.Sometimes my wife...Always bring a trash back,make it so easy to take it back home.Take care.😀😀😀
Thanks for posting My wife also has a Keb Hike 30 and it is really nice But I am 2 meters tall and it just fits so badly on a tall man, just like their other Daypacks are made really really small - It's unbelievable that Fjällräven can't figure out how to make Daypacks that fit tall people - Love my Keb 72 but which is great for tall people, but I can't go with it on day trips, so on day trips I use Osprey Talon, although the Fjällräven is better, but it doesn't help when they it is too small. It looks like you advertise Fjällräven so cant you kick their designers so they can figure out to make Daypacks for tall people also 🤔 Or do you have an idea which Fjällräven I can choose? Jesper
@@TedWeirum I have tried several of their Daypacks and all the ones with a hipbelt are too short if you use them properly and are Tall. Strange - Fjalraven are good at adapting to tall persons to their larger backpacks and everything else they make - But their Daypacks with Hipbelt don't fit tall people But thanks - Hoped you knew
@@TedWeirum Thanks :) - It is so annoying to try my wifes Keb Hike, finding it so nice and perfect to strap my snowshoes on for my winter hikes here in Greenland It's just too small :(
Brother.....this disgusting chocolate....we also have tons of it here in switzerland. Unexplainably I also find this crap regularly in my backpack....horrifying!
No need to be sorry brother! I had no idea that it came from there, my reference was from a documentary about the war in Afghanistan, where they but that message up on the gate, I’m sure it must be from the Aliens movie!
@@TedWeirum Not sure if the original quote is from Aliens (1986) but it sure as heck made the line famous for me at least :) I usually have Aliens as a top 5 film I've ever seen and I know it by heart. The particular scene I am referring to is this one, FYI: ruclips.net/video/5dU0ZRY7wBw/видео.html Enjoy the Sunday Ted, assuming you won't go out during this rainy day // cheers from Södra Sandby
I would add the first aid kit including a rescue blanket that could be very helpful in case of an emergency overnighter or accident
Great points here brother! Appreciate it!
Great tips. I am always bringing my swiss army knife with the small saw included. Priceless!
Great tip brother! :)

thanks! I will talk about the first aid kit in the overnighter backpack video! : )
Just discovered your videos! I like your style. Great daypack video.
Thank you! Welcome to the party! :)
Depends on where you are and what time of year. All of that layering would be unnecessary where I live in the summer.
Correct! All boils down to where you are and what you’re doing! :)
I take approximately the same things with the same bag... plus a hydration pack. Thank you for your share!
the hydration pack is a good option! thanks for sharing brother!
@@TedWeirum most welcome!

Your videos have a beautiful photography , thank you for inspiring me to get started with hiking
Thanks brother! Best of luck! I’m always here if you got any questions! :)

Valid points from a seasoned subscriber! I'll have to talk about the first aid kit in the next video!
headlamp always gets chucked into my bag..
smart! you never know!
Very nice series of the most essential stuff needed. Keep going 💪
Thank you so much brother!
Nice easy going video Ted.
Phone!
More versatile than a branded small red pocket knife. Take only memories and photos, leave no trace
So true! I bring my phone wherever I go, forgot to mention it!
@@TedWeirum phone protector, like Exped pocket or 'as is' and hope its waterproof?
I’m living on hopes and dreams there, I do have a leather case, if I go paddling I put it in a ziplock bag!

You'll never walk alone! :) FIRST AID!!!!!! will talk about it in the next overnight pack video!
Great video. What is missing is the listing of the products you use. Maybe there are same items here in Canada, but I don't know what brand or model to look at.
Solid point brother!
I’ll see if I can make a list, brands are fjällräven, hestra, Morakniv, Hanwag, sea to summit! :)
Ted, there is a hidden zipper in the main compartment of the Keb Hike 30, behind the top pocket pouch. What is that for?
there is! it's for the rain cover, of course you could put other small things there as well! : )
Would add toilet paper in a plastic bag and (depending on your habits) a small spade (yes, that's apparently an English word too! 🤪). Leave no trace! 😉 Great idea with the fire kit - I will steal that one!
yeah! ill bring it up in the multi day backpack video!
Not an expert but it appears you had the bases covered. Always nice to have a few special comforts. As far as chocolate, I like the darker 80-85% types.
I knew you like the darker ones! :)
Thank you Ted! For me, my buff is essential :) Also good reminder about the trash bag. I always forget about it and have to use a couple of dog poop bags.. Take care!
yeah, buff or neckgater makes a huge difference! :)

Sounds interesting, what brands are you considering?
@@TedWeirum ZPacks, Durston
@grueneauen ooh yeah, that’s some good stuff right there
Nice! Campin' ain't campin' without a campfire.
Preach! :)
Hello! Great video one more time! Can you tell me what sweater do you wear;
Thanks brother, that would be an old worn out keb T-shirt
@@TedWeirum I’m sorry but I mean the sweater you put on after 1:40
Ah! Sorry! I’m actually wearing it right now! Greenland re-wool crew neck
I didn't see you bring a HeadLamp
Can’t remember if I did, in the summer time I don’t use one, winter it’s standard!
Can you tell me what hammock you have as have had a few but not great quality thanks
sure thing! it's a sea to summit, there's a video on the channel about it! :)
Great list! What’s the sweater you are wearing?
I don't know what he is wearing but totally recommend Merinos of "Klitmøller" - great quality.
I believe that its the Visby sweater!
Hej.I bring very much the same clothing and some camera gear.Then a lot of chocolate.Sometimes my wife...Always bring a trash back,make it so easy to take it back home.Take care.😀😀😀
awesome brother! do you put your wife in the backpack or how do you do there? ;)
@@TedWeirum No she carry the Backpack.😁😁😁
Hahaah! Great duo!
Hi Ted,can you please tell me what trousers you are wearing in this video..
Abisko midsummer trousers I believe it is!
What is the name of your bacpack?
I call her Rose, but the model name is Keb 52 from Fjällräven. :)
Haven’t watched it yet but I’m assuming there is a beer in there if I can’t disagree.
Okay I’ve watched it and no beer. As one of the experts in the comment section, I strongly disagree.
Complementary beer will be shared when us legends meet!
Nice 🤠😁❤️
Gratzie!
I'm jealous. Every time I watch one of your videos I dream about being able to afford that much Fjallraven stuff.
I feel your pain my friend, I borrow most of it! :)
Nice dagsrygga 👍🌲
Tackar!
I guess you don't know many Americans or Canadians ; we disagree about everything almost all the time.
No you don't! ;)
Snyggast? I will share a cup with you.
The Swedish is coming along just fine! :) thanks brother, always good to know that some is out there holding a cup for you! :)
@@TedWeirum skäl! 🍻
Thanks for posting
My wife also has a Keb Hike 30 and it is really nice

Jesper
Understand, hard to say what pack would work for you, do you have a store nearby where you can try the backpacks?
@@TedWeirum I have tried several of their Daypacks and all the ones with a hipbelt are too short if you use them properly and are Tall.
Strange - Fjalraven are good at adapting to tall persons to their larger backpacks and everything else they make - But their Daypacks with Hipbelt don't fit tall people
But thanks - Hoped you knew
I’m aware of the issue but I haven’t heard of any solution as of yet for day packs, hope it will change!
@@TedWeirum Thanks :) - It is so annoying to try my wifes Keb Hike, finding it so nice and perfect to strap my snowshoes on for my winter hikes here in Greenland
It's just too small :(
Brother.....this disgusting chocolate....we also have tons of it here in switzerland. Unexplainably I also find this crap regularly in my backpack....horrifying!
It’s just.. unfair how it gets past everything and ends up there.. ;)
Oi, nothing against the best kinds of chocolate :D Migros Selection, Caillier dark,...
Uhhhh you got some fancy stuff going on there, need to try those!
🎒✅
haven't watched yet but I disagree
But you can’t!! Hahaah
Toilet paper? 🤷🏽♂️
so they say! :)
Sorry for a totally random and irrelevant comment to your content, but are you a fan of Aliens? "Stay frosty"...
No need to be sorry brother! I had no idea that it came from there, my reference was from a documentary about the war in Afghanistan, where they but that message up on the gate, I’m sure it must be from the Aliens movie!
