- Hey guys! Here is my pack-list for a thruhike of the Great Divide Trail in Canada. Most gear is tried and true that I’ve carried for many miles on other trails like AZT & PCT but I’ll post another video after trail discussing how everything fared for this rough and rugged backpacking adventure!
Hope it helps,
And happy trails,
Kodak

Very interesting and helpful - love you guys. Best wishes for your continued adventures 🏔️
Thanks so much!
Hey Kodak, good seeing you! Its been a while, but it looks like you've been busy! Great video of all your gear. Take care and safe travels.
Great video! I love using turkey bags as well. Lol. Kind regards.
Hahaha, they work well, are super cheap, and the lightest option out there.
I had the same problem with my old backpack, till I found the Kelty. Amazing backpack and affordable. I have the 65l and I love it.
Awesome, my first pack was a Kelty!
First aid kit suggestion, leuko tape especially since you already have needle and thread combined they make the best blister care I've found.
Thank you for taking the time to create this video. I tried several Ultralight backpacks over the years... They all failed and were never comfortable. I have female specific backpacks now and they are Osprey or REI brand. The extra 5 to 8 oz, is worth the comfort and durability. Osprey has a great warranty and customer service. Any backpack now beets the 11 pound external frame backpack I started with back in the 1970s. Gear has really improved and gotten lighter. I am looking forward to your videos on your journey. Thank you for taking us along.
Seasponge for camera lense, bad idea, sea sponges can contain very soft sand, what could scratch the lense... Get synthethic ones, they're clean.
No pumpsack? Do you want to grow cheese or fungus? Ok, minimalism, but you could take your packliner as a pump sack (try, it works great as long as there is no hole).
Happy trail✌🏽
The sponge is for me! I use lens cloths and a "rocket blower / brush" to clean the camera. I've been through multiple pads and hundreds of nights and never had a mold issue. I hear it's an overstated concern, though it does happen to some on occasion. I think more humid environments and less frequent use? Pump sacks are nice though if you don't like feeling lightheaded, but I enjoy the feeling!
Happy trails! ✌️
Yes, wash your pillow. Great work young man. I have enjoyed many of your videos. Nice to see you accompanied by a beautiful woman and when I say beautiful, I mean inside and out.
Hahaha, it might be beyond washing at this point.... She really is. Thank you Debbie!
Traveling with you before and knowing how anti schedule/timing you can be it would be interesting to see how scheduled you became once you only had food for so many days on theses big stretches. I know you did the AT but this is different. Cheers bub and best of luck:)
Yeah man. Back to back 7-8 days is long and no time or money for many zeroes. It aint easy but gotta keep-on-keepin’-on!
That moment when you realize you need $1k in UL gear to balance the weight of your $5k/20lbs tech habit 😆.
I'm 200lbs at 5'6" suffice to say thigh chaffing (and foot blisters) are my hiking life. Hoo-Ha Ride Glide is better than any other product I've found for chafe. Tomorrow I head out for the Timberline Trail and will be trying new compression shorts...
Seems like you could very easily cut some weight by using a rubber band with trekking poles to improv a tripod - but yeah angling the camera, etc might take some finesse.
* edited to add: I just upgraded my pack to an Osprey Exos. Very light for the comfort ;)
Thanks for sharing!
No way I'm sticking my fancy "tech habit" on an improvised tripod! 😂 They do make a tripod plate that clamps onto both trekking poles. It includes a extra leg (tent pole essentially) to complete the tripod. The time it takes to setup and the limited functionality/support weight, doesn't make it worth it imo.
Nice! Enjoy the Exos. I used one for the Appalachian Trail and loved it.
I found if the chaffing on your thighs gets greater then that anti chaffing stuff can handle 6" bands of panty hose does wonders
Now theres a tip! 😂
@@RyanKodakBrown it's ultralight too;)
Dig that coyote brown helium II;)
Hahaha, they replaced my black one. Didn’t even realize till now 🤪
Sorry for spamming your comments, ideas keep coming as I watch I noticed you didn't have gloves and your extra pair of socks with 2 newspaper bags kicked butt for me
Indomie 👍🏼😂🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Hand wash the pillow! Seriously dude, that's gross and she kisses you!
Hahahaha
I have a serious problem with the complete negligence in first aid capability I see so many of these hikers decide to go into the wilderness without. And the lack of gear mace both for animals but also for people.
By "gear mace" do you mean bear spray? We definitely carried it on the GDT. There's a lot of grizzlies up there!
What do you carry for first aid?
I carry gauze pads and super glue for the most serious of wounds (should only be applied in worst case scenarios because it must be cut out!). I carry a few types a bandages including butterfly "stitches." Gorilla tape can be used for a lot of purposes and, otherwise, just a PLB. Oh, and some pills like "vitamin I" and Benadryl in case of allergic reactions. I feel pretty confident with these and handling most incidents. For anything more serious, there's the PLB.
is treatable injury/illness such a big thing or is it all in your mind?
