How we pack our backpacks and what it all weighs!

- Опубликовано: 2 дек 2021
- This #short shows how we pack our backpacks for overnight trips and how it all adds up to right around 9 lbs. This is our "generic" list. For specific trips, we often add items such as extra water bottles or we swap out the tarp for a tent, which often makes the total closer to 10 lbs. Our complete gear lists for various trips are available on our website:

That is impressive how light it is!!
@@mircat28 9 lb isn’t that much
@@mircat28 I think they know it's just the lack of punctuation makes the sentence mean something they didn't want
@@BMNBtastic yeah, they probably meant the commenter said;
"That is impressive, how light is it?"
@@mircat28 they are impressed how light it is he wasn't asking.
@@mircat28 they know…
damn, my pack usually weighs 3 times that just for a weekend trip. props to y’all.
Yeah
To be fair, they’ve done an amazing job with their planning. They can carry 9 pounds when they know at the next town they have their next package waiting for them that they prepared months ago… like I could never do this, but I admire the ingenuity so much.
You pack clothes. They pack exactly enough clothes to change once and either wait until a town or wash them in a stream and dry them on their packs as they hike. Some extra socks, maybe. That's where the weight goes. Backpacking tents and sleeping bags have been heavily engineered to be extremely durable and lightweight. Even the packs themselves are light. Food weighs a lot too if you don't prep correctly.
Think kind of backpacking is super bare bones, not at all luxurious and it's definitely not for most people. They're hiking over distances that would not be possible if they were carrying much more than they already do. They're already losing weight with what they're doing.
Very few people actually hike at this level. They've distilled their years of experience into under 10 lbs. It really is impressive.
They aren’t including food weight or water weight which are usually 2 of the heaviest things. I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual weight is closer to 20 ibs a pack (which is still really impressive)
Not counting weight of water tho
Enjoy life to the fullest
No
Okay
I wish I liked any human enough to walk that long with them and spend that much time together
Have you ever thought that you’re the problem?
@@rex7471I second this. Yeah people are annoying sometimes, but I'm willing to put money on nobody being perfect, yourself included.
@@DP-no1ny literally 😭😭
Them backpacking for a whole year!
Me to scared to go outside when there’s a loose dog 🤦🏽♀️
Lol I feel you tho people don’t care enough about their dogs nowadays and they let them loose and they attack people. It’s always the owners fault too and the poor dog has to pay the price.
Also other dog owners who have to literally kick a dog into a lake to protect their own dog from other dogs. My poor girl has gotten attacked five times because of these terrible owners and they almost never attempted to stop their dog from taking chunks out of her.
@@selenaparent4199 wow maybe you need pepper spray or taser. That's unacceptable
I go to bear country to get away from people's crazy ass dogs😅
This is cap. They wound survive on that stuff.
Thank you so much for showing the layering and some tricks (like no stuff sack for the sleeping bag). Most forums will only list the items or show a ‘spread’ of what they include.
Dang I carry more in my daily work bag
So
@@Lily-ev5pn so shut it
@@Lily-ev5pn I think her point was not about carrying something heavier. But that this couple carries everything they need to survive in a backpack while Annie (and many of us) feel the need to carry around 20 pounds of crap just to leave the house for work. It's a nod to the fact that people don't actually need alot of what we think we need.
Your videos are so interesting! Y’all are great. Thank you for your time! Be safe and God Bless
The genuine joy these two express in their videos is so comforting. They aren't weighed down by modern things most of us would consider necessities, all they need are just the basics and each other.
The camera: “what about me?” 👁👁
👄
Probably recording on a phone
why do i feel like my purse is heavier thank that 🤣🤣🤣 👍👌 that's amazing!!
I love how you two teach fundamental basics of nomad living. It's really life changing.
This guy sounds like the “I’m blind and this is how I cook” guy
LOOOL
Hahaha and he needs a good 1 hour long warm shower he looks disgusting
I almost mistake him for that dude
No he doesn't
LMAO
I love your videos. I went and did something like what you guys are doing and traveled thru Colorado where there was nothing around me but cows and mountains. It was so peaceful. Peace and love to the both of you. Have safe travels.
What do you guys use for toilet paper
Leafs but not leaves of 3! Lol
Seriously note there’s bio-degradable toilet paper. It’ll break down underground when you dig your poop shovel.
They wipe each other with bare hands
Go to a hikers store or Google what hikers use.
@@mircat28 I was interested in what they do not others
@@gringa978 yea I forgot about biodegradable tp and I thought of leaves but some leaves are hella rough haha
You guys are awesome! I admire your sense of adventure
Ya'll are couple goals!
This is so cool. I’m leaving to go to Philmont scout ranch in New Mexico for my first backpacking trip and I’m so excited
Sync is incredible on this one
They seem so happy but always tired either way good for them 💚
Most my backpacking trips I had a 25 lb. base. Granted I only hiked 10-25 miles.
That is very impressive.
You guys are a pro thru hike team, I love it
You two are very inspiring! Keep at it!
Wow! My bag for DofE was around 15kg (33lbs) (before I handed off the poles for our tent to someone with a 9kg (19lbs) bag) and that was only for two days- it’s incredible how you pack everything you need but still keep it light!
Mine was like 12 for the bronze, luckily my family walks a lot ( not with that wait tho) so it wasn't actually too bad.
You 2 are rock stars!! Much respect.
Damn that's so light
I love how precise the weight measurements are so that it’s fairly distributed between the both of you! The thing that tips the scale towards Tim is probably the cooking gear, but she has all the toiletries and other stuff in her bag that he doesn’t. Y’all be doin the damn thing, go offf
😂❤love your videos!so positive and fun!plus fast!
Have been geocaching along the way if? so do some videos on it!
You guys are amazing. Thank you for sharing this. So important for emergency preparation.
I enjoy your videos so much.
Wow that’s light. When I went on a trek for a week my pack weighed about 25 lbs. But that was mostly because it was spring and we were up north so I had to bring warmer clothes.
My toxic trait is thinking I can do this
Ok renee!! Carrying basically just as much as her mans. 💪🏻
You've recently popped up on my shorts and I've seen a few videos, what I haven't seen is how do you afford to backpack for such long periods of time?
Good question indeed. It doesn't cost anything to backpack, but I guess the question is what are their other financial commitments.
@@jameseastwood4984 that was more the goal of my question, guess I should have been more specific!
You too are very inspiring , I hope to find a partner who loves the things I do the same way you too do 🥰
Worry not about finding a partner, but finding yourself
That's amazing. In 1976 my pack weighed 50 pounds. Gear has changed for sure.
I’m watching all your videos and I must say u guys are absolutely adorable and sum up the term “relationship goals” 💜
Would love to see a video on the finances of this, how you afford it, total cost, etc.
This helped so much!
Hi! How do you charge your filming stuff and your phone?
Portable chargers maybe
Small solar panels are relatively cheap, but I don't know how well one of those would keep film equipment charged. If they use a satellite phone then it would probably produce enough power
@@lunaireac5212 how do they charge the portable chargers? Unless they stop at restaurants and petrol stations to charge them? I highly doubt that tho because they said they were in the middle of no where
@@hannahcullinane-burgess5983solar panel portable chargers or crank device chargers,
Damn, that’s lighter than my school bag
Did you say poop scoop??
They dig a hole, poop in the hole, and then cover it in dirt. The poop shovel does not actually touch the poop.
Wow that was a lot more simple than I expected. I only learned this year that sleeping bags aren't meant to be folded but stuffed!
What is the brand of backpack you used? Is Renee''s a different size than Tim's? TX, I enjoy your adventures and info.
Y’all are cool keep on working hard
You guys r amazing!!!
Love your video!!!!!!! Do you have more videos? I'd love to see more!!!!😊😊
You guys are my hero ❤️
Day 3.993: what have y’all go to the bottom tip of South America and go to the top tip of (excluding the islands) unless you want to! Maybe even go to Greenland!
Base weight and video editing so on point
Wow when i went on my first hike i had like 20 pounds of gear and that was for two days you guys go across country amazing
I’ve learned so many things watching your videos
HOW did you stuff the WHOLE sleeping bag in and still have room?! You guys got some SKILLS!
I love your videos
Wow you guys are great
Nice idea in storing things
OMG I have a lot to learn!! Thanks for sharing your experience and info! I just don't want to look like the Beverly Hillbillies when I go down the trail!!! Lol 😂
Nicely done folks.
Damn, imagine the smell of those sleeping bags lol
Why?
I know they stink badly 🤣
Yes I see your point. I was thinking the sunshine would disinfect everything any day they spread out their pack.
They come across towns on the way. Probably can stop in the laundry mat. ☺️
@@KathH627 they do stop and do laundry
They aren’t including food weight or water weight which are usually 2 of the heaviest things. I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual weight is closer to 20 ibs a pack (which is still really impressive)
Wow, I went on a backpacking trip at a college summer program and ended up carrying a 40lb pack for 4 days. I am 5ft and was 130lb at the time…really wish the organizers would have sent us with supplies like that 😩
He had 40 lb seems like a lot. I've been there I have shaved off quite a bit I'll wait over the years I'm at 33 lb fully loaded.
It's kind of weird that they don't put their sleeping bag in a dry bag. What do you think?
Am amazed at how small your food packs were. Enjoying you two but, what are your trail names??
Walking 30 miles a day while carrying a backpack is incredible
I did a 12 day 100 mile backpacking trip in at Philmont Scout Camp and my pack was 45-60lbs depending on how much water I was carrying. Very impressive packing!
That is really ultra light...what type of backpack are you using
Wow, I'm impressed 😯
I love the sleeping bag idea, mine didn’t come with a stuff sack so I’m definitely trying this.
My school back is like 20 pounds, im impressed and jealous of how light their bags are!
these are great tips. i think i will keep putting my sleeping bag in a garbage bag inside my stuff sack though. the extra weight is worth ensuring it is dry. it also takes up way less space
Yall got the lightest kits I have ever seen last time I went back packing I was carrying around 55lbs for 15 miles a day man
*heavy stuff towards on top, also get a large army ruck sack you can fit 3x as much and will be much smaller if you do it right
I remember walking around Afghanistan with 50+kg on my chest and back. Fun times! Would have begged to have a pack that light 😆 props to these two #livingthedream
I love this couple 💖
I go backpacking for a week and it’s about 50lbs at the start while they over here like - “My whole pack weighs less than your food…”
Damn that’s light as hell
There must be some editing magic going on here because how the heck did all that fit AND stay so light? I watched it all (twice) and am still amazed
WOW!!! 9.1 lbs - that is great. Are you guys going to do a live?
If you hike in the kind of wet and windy conditions we experience here in the UK, for the love of heaven pack your sleeping gear inside a plastic bag. An iron rule of hiking is that ALL packs leak eventually, whatever the makers claim. A plastic bag weighs all of 10g or so and can save your life. Their's light, and then there's stupid light...
What backpack should I buy for all of that ? Especially one that can hold my sleeping mat on top .
This is great!
How do you keep electronics charged?
May I ask what type of tent you use? I noticed there are no tent poles and stakes. I’ve been section hiking the AT around work, and my tent, food, and sleeping bag take the most space. My tent is an. REI half dome SL 2 - withstands rain well, and I’m about to store my pack and shoes in it, but I wonder about something lighter (less than 2 lbs) and more compact.
I’m too much of a stickler for being clean to do this, but I applaud that you guys look happy!
i was wondering how it was so light till i realized they dont have tents
Yes they do. She’s carrying 1 tent. It weighs about 1 lb.
The man looks like flowki from the vikings TV show, he's may favorite character. But I was always taught to put the heavy things near the top of the pack for better weight distribution on the body.
What bags are you using? I like how they roll down at the top.
Where do you get a .3 pound tent
Nice to share a tent
You guys have beautiful energy
I enjoy your channel do you have any scary animal stories
How do you charge electronics?
@Krystal Marie you can't just put a phone in the sun and expect it to charge....
Maybe they've got a power bank
@@roseydays180 You can buy a solar charger that the phone plugs into 😂
So cool, you guys are the dream.
I just wanna know how they charge their phone like seriously how do u do that plug it into the dirt and mud and hope for the best?????!!!??
Solar charger
Amazing! Have you guys ever encountered an emergency while on the trip?
Just started back pack camping a year ago but quick question are energy gel packets worth bringing on my hikes/camping trips?
And this is why I actually like hiking but not my school’s cadets program. Our packs weigh up to 15kg (33lbs!), along with our heavy duty boots. Rather than being able to walk and enjoy the outdoors, we’re hunched over, being crushed by our packs as we trek for miles. No wonder everyone hates it! And it’s compulsory!!
Where did you guys buy the backpacks? I want a new backpack before my next trip❤️
Great hikers no doubt!!
You are my favorite you tuber
