I know you posted this three years ago, but I wanted to tell you how much of a help you’ve been to me. I feel like you’re my friend telling me all the things I needed to know for my first solo backpacking trip. I did as you said and kept it simple. Had a great time, even with the thunderstorm that delayed my supper. I just used it as a pre dinner nap time! Thanks again!
Fun fact: A pot gripper (like the one she has) is technically called a spondonicle...do with that what you wish.
aight
Too bad it's not a search term for shopping...
Hey baby, wanna spondonicle sometime?
@@nonameman9291 😩
I sprained my spondonicle while spooning with my spouse.
She needs to have her own channel.
She got a nice pair of legs too
Taffer 1000 yea
Aamey Playz who cares. He’s not being a pervert. He’s being honest.
Hottie 😘
@@Taffer-bx7uc amen brother shes nice
Weight can vary depending on what you choose to carry and the weight of your items (different options in the same category will have different weights). An ultralight hiker may get there pack down to around 10 pounds, but a traditional backpacker doing a multi-day trip is probably carrying around 30 lbs.
their* :)
Problem is that beginning backpackers need help keeping backpack weight at 30ish. Rei will sell them the kitchen sink if they have one and it fits in the oversized backpack they just sold.
If you want a person to keep backpacking, you help them keep that weight closer to 20 to 25ish.
You encourage them to buy trail shoes instead of boots. you encourage them to invest in a good light weight pad and sleeping bag. You convince them to share all other equipment. Oh, and get them into the lightest pack for the length of days.
Tent, cookpots, stove, cleanup stuff can be shared.
Stop over selling.
@MeMe-cd1wy I'm always self contained - if only for safety reasons. What if you have to split up due to injury? Everyone should have their own basics. If you want to share weight for group gear, ok, but everyone should have the minimum to survive on their own (emergency shelter, a metal cup they can heat water in, etc)
@@MeMe-cd1wyproblem is people focus on weight too much. Pack weight is subjective and matters less than you'd think.
Good list, and you're right - this is super controversial stuff. I highly suggest anybody interested in pack lists go watch as many as you can find. Watch ultralight lists and thru-hiker lists. Most thru hikers who post lists will do one before the trail with their initial pack list and one after they finish with their final pack list. Watching both is fascinating. A thru-hiker covers hundreds or even thousands of miles and NOBODY knows better what is useful on the trail and what isn't and seeing the difference between their starting and finishing lists will really clue you in to what you should just leave behind. If they found something useless over hundreds of miles, you probably really don't need it for that weekend or week-long trip, and the more stuff you leave behind the more fun you have. Joe Brewer (Backcountry Banter) and Dixie (Homemade Wanderlust) have some great comparison lists, but there are plenty more to watch.
They are doing different hikes than backpacking into nowhere at times. Also, you can bring a little bit more stuff to be comfortable for backpacking if you are only going for a few days compared to thru hikers. Just different stuff is all.
Sound advice. My first few outtings were 3-5 days runs and the hiking itself was brutal. My pack was around 65lbs. Half of the stuff i brought i never used a single time. Out here in the north eastern USA, a 3 day hike in any direction will bring you to civilization. All that survival crap i used to carry stays home now.
The next video is how put all from the list inside the backpack? 🤔
hahahhaha

It should also be noted that one of the most important things you can do is research where you'll be hiking thoroughly. In my neck of the woods, it's advisable to pack for overnight, even if you're just planning a day hike. SAR operations are very frequent here (100+ annually), and many could have been avoided by proper planning and gear. You must always keep in mind that if you need to be rescued, it will be at least several hours before help gets to you, maybe even longer. Miranda, these are great videos from you and REI- keep it up!
First supply video I have seen that mentions TP. I enjoy your videos. Very informative. Getting back into day and overnight packing/ camping after a way to long of break.
I made a list based on my old Boy Scout handbook. It gets modified over the years as I gain experience. :)
I'm an old camper. I've been camping since 1979 when I was 11 years old.
I learned camping in scouting. And at 51, I still camp. Last week for one week. I was in Camp Aquahunga in Ten Mile River Scout Camps in Narrowsburg, New York.
Of course for a week of camping. I had to pack a lot more. Therefore my pack was heavier.
A roller bag suit case is not the answer. I thought about it. But a lot more heavier, and harder to manage.
The pack might be heavy to get it on my back. But once it's on my back. I'm okay.
Anywhere in the woods is home.
ok boomer
Thanks for sharing!
I’m going to Ten Mile River In June
Enjoyed viewing your videos, some good information. I have always packed a little heavier because you never know when you might have to spend an uncomfortable overnighter due to having to help another injured hiker. Too heavy, then get in better shape.Too many people think hiking is a "walk in the park" until "it" hits the fan. After being a member of the CMC for many years, I found their list of what to take on a hike valuable.
A cellphone charger (I use an Anker powerbank) is good to have for any overnight trips.
There are reasons. Some areas may be too rocky or frozen to allow you to dig a hole or you may be backpacking near your water source which you don't want to contaminate, etc. It's best to be prepared!
You need your own channel Miranda!!!!!!!!!!!! I love you!!!!
most informative on youtube for beginners, more Mirands please.
so cool seeing all the bear stuff you use! we just stick some vegemite behind the ears for the drop bears here. nice and simple!
Mirada I love you!! You need your own channel!!
I watch this video every time I go backpacking as a reminder in case I forget to pack something.
We love knowing it's been so helpful, Dan!
I have never seen this one before! Keep up your good work!
Glad to see someone with a realistic weight for their pack.
I have previously commented on how well you did on this video. I thought I would leave a couple of small light weight suggestions. Esbit Folding Pocket Stove makes a very light-weight stove with fuel cubes that can be stored inside the stove, and placed inside the SS 16 oz. cup made for the Nalgene Bottle width. Then for toilet paper (pee cloth) or wash cloth the Wysi Wipes can be used instead and/or reused, and 5-6 can be stored in a waterproof match case. These are always in my Day Pack as well. Also, I always take my OR Double Bivy, Gortex in my Day Pack as well, less than one pound, for unexpected overnighters too. I don't believe they make these anymore though.
My dad and I started backpacking and he told me to watch your video. We just did one on my channel. I hope I get a lot of people like you!
I thought I was ready and then you named everything I don’t have 😂 thanks
Nice advices!! Important for everyone to build his own experience!! but its usefull to take ideas!
clear and concise. thank you
Nice advices!! Important for everyone to build his own experience!! but its usefull to take ideas!
Holy heavy pack lol but I like how she says some ppl bring a lot less. Yet I’ve made the mistake in bringing a lot more in the past. Nice video thx
Just depends how long you'll be gone... If it's one or two nights only you don't need that much. I don't bring any cooking gear if it's just a two day trip.
I LOVE REI!
Great tips and review! thanks for sharing :)
Your toiletry bag is the perfect size. Where did you get it?
I really like that rug!!
Very informative! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great tips!
Come tramping in New Zealand no bears so less gear and you get to live.
Coming to NZ soon for the third time. Will land in CHC. Keen on camping/tramping mate?
Not fooling me. I've seen those vicious looking penguins on the beach. Worse than drop bears even!
Thank you. Very informative.
This is her show gosh darn.
Wow great info!
Hi Miranda, thanks for providing such quality content. Because you, I was able to overcome my fear of going camping and backpacking; however, I would like your suggestions on how much water to carry on a 3 miles backpack trail in which I plan to spend 2 nights without a nearby water source and what is an effective way to carry water on the trail?
Curious how that went if you ever did it. 2 nights over 3 miles? I’d have to back track over and over just to sleep
Timeless video
This is a great list
So I don’t know if it’s just my upbringing but when I imagine hiking I think of it as a day walk. When I search it though people describe what I call “camping” which can include walking but it’s when you stay overnight.
A backpacking trip is a bit of both, hike to a spot and set up camp along the way
What does your fully loaded pack weigh? That stuff looks heavy. Since this is REI, would be nice to teach people to lighten up so they will keep backpacking. Video is obviously for a new backpacker. It would be helpful to help find equipment in REI lineup that is light. Bear spray maybe, holster to put it in, no, too heavy. Use backpack pocket.
How large of a bag is required for all this stuff?
What's a pee rag
When you dab yourself after peeing to get rid of left behind droplets. More necessary for women but I do like to do that do when I have easy access to a towel like at home.
Question Miranda are you going to try Canada Trans Continentl hikeing trail in Canada 🇨🇦.
Thank you
Yea that works the only thing I have to change is the knife that doesn't look like much your gonna have a hard time cutting cord or vines or fish and animals but yea cool set up
Hi i want to know where did you buy the carpet?ühich you stand over
she combined amuck and amongst to create a new word 'amunck your heads.'
nice !!
Very good. Thank you very much
thanks . Great information
Tell me more about the pee rag. Do you rinse it with water after every use to prevent it from smelling?
I don't get this at all, why not just use water to clean off in the first place and skip the whole rag? Maybe I'm spoiled by living around nature with an excessive amount of clean water, but I wouldn't even bring toilet paper, I'd just use water.
Put a hole to the cap of a plastic water bottle and squeeze it. Done ✅
Clip it to the outside of the pack where it will air out -- on a sunny day, it will be dry within minutes and on a rainy day it will be rinsed clean 😉 -- then rinse once you get to a water source, if needed. As for the men who don't get it, that's because they are men 😁 and she clearly states that it is really only for women
Muy interesante!! Gracias.

One thing I think she may have missed or I wasn't paying attention. What form of water filtration should a beginner have or start with. I've seen pump and I've seen the squeeze type. Help?!?
I know you commented a year ago lol but here’s what I think! When I first went out backpacking, I really wanted some of the fancy gear you see at REI: UV light sticks, a squeeze bottle, etc. But then I went to Walmart and got a gravity filter system for only $15! I’ve used it on many trips with zero issues and it saves a lot of time too.
What size backpack do you use?
wonder how you charge your phone ~~
Thank you 😊
If you're coming from Mrs.Ness's class here is a free pass,
1.)Navigation
2.)Head lamp
3.)First aid kit
4.)Knife
5.) 🔥
6.)Shelter
7.) Water
8.) Thing to hold your water
9.)Food
10.)Extra clothing
Love This
A bolt action rifle. An extra box of .270 Win. A pair of woodland camouflage briefs. And a Falkniven S1. That's all you need.
So what size backpack do you actually use? 40L, 60L?
Steven Torrey I have a 75L but I’ve never filled it up all the way, I find it better to have extra space just in case for longer excursions vs having too little and having to cut a trip short. Just my own opinion.
@@peyxander I sort of agree. It is surprising how much clothing one needs to start a hike with and how much one takes off once the hike builds up body heat, plus the heat of the day increasing.
@Thomas 10/22 Thanks. I am surprised at now how compact tents, sleeping bags and so on can be. Myself thinking of a week stay (?) at Grand Canyon and wondering what size bag is best. I'm leaning toward 60L; I already own a 20L & 40L...
@Thomas 10/22 Thanks....
@@StevenTorrey + Velocitor?
Im going to be a doing a back-country trip for 6month. Gonna be living out of a backpack for 6Months this was a great video thank you. Is there any tips on how to properly store everything in your bag?
Zach Fabbian are you doing the backcountry trails program ?
@@grisie24 Yes
@@grisie24 yep
Zach Fabbian follow me on Instagram @untold.grey I’m doing it as well!!
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do people dislike this?
Bend over and I’ll show you.
Are there any refillable fuel cans?
your videos are gret!
You are well organized... totally

Can’t see link for packing list
What sleeping bag is that?
No knife?
i take a goal zero solar charger. thin, light, portable power.
How much$?
@@ericmarinho2673 Check out some of their stuff on their website: www.goalzero.com/shop/kits/flip-20-nomad-7-plus/
great
Interesting, but just to heavy for me. I always agree someone should hike their own hike. A couple of short hikes will narrow your pack selection to what you need and what you want. Experience is a great teacher.
Ever gotten bear sprayed it suks so bad
I carry bear spray too...it sprays 10mm lead at around 1300 fps.
How do you charge your phone?
Battery pack.
Before You Leave
I don't believe in unicorns, but this chick is close haha
That first aid kit and toiletry kit are both comically gigantic.
when you are far away, then you need a good first aid kit.
Mako makon “good” and “big” are not the same thing.
You're comically gigantic
How many cooks will I get out of a fuel can like that? I just bought a pocket rocket II
Thanks Kevin
Short answer: a shitload! That can is huge. She could cook that week for a small camp with that thing. I just used my coleman self seaing 250, 220gram cannister that came from walmart for $5. For 4 days and did close to 12 boils. I weighed it after and still have more than half left. Which is accurate for what I was told was going to be 20-30boils depending upon temp & how much water you boil. Trust me you dont want to be carrying her size's weight on your back for miles.
So how much does all that stuff cost from rei?
with all of that stuff how much does it weigh
She said 28-30 lbs with food and water
Cord and extra carabiner is great to have, but you do not want to hang a bear canister. A long drop could compromise them. But extra cord could hang a pack in Marmot country, or a garbage bag unfit to go in the canister.
No where can I find pack weight to body weight ratios. Like a person 175lb may be comfortable at 25lbs but someone, like me, who is 225lbs would feel comfortable with more. Any suggestions?
Great question! As a general rule, most people can comfortably carry 25% of their body weight. - Miranda
I always wonder why birds stay in the same place when they can fly - Check out my last video please..
A backpacker should know their distance and pack for the time spending outside.
I really laughed when she said “maybe leave the deodorant at home”
I would rather get mauled by a bear than go hiking for 3 days straight without deodorant
Yeah I thought the same thing, if you smell that spicy, the bears will come anyway.
By a Boy Scout Handbook.
Never understood why so many backpackers use a baseball cap. 1/4 brim, no ear or neck protection. Why?
What is the name of this knife you use?
And the best part is in my city there is ZERO BEAR i....live in indonesia so yeah i dont need to carry that bear stuff save space and money
Your pot has handles, why do you need a pot grabber?
In case they get hot lol
Maybe so you don't burn your hands off lol
She has a back.... 🤔
Trail runners: shorts are fine
5 things. Food, water, shelter, environmental conditions, in's & outs. Think like NASA always have a backup in case of failure or something gets lost. I don't think your hygene kit belongs in the brain since you only use it static (you go to bed and use it, then you wake up and use it). maybe I missed where toilet paper was but I think it's a bulky, albeit light nessecity. Your kit is always gonna change but with the five fundamentals you can't go won't. plan ahead and prepare, take pics leave tracks. LNT.
why does toothpaste have to go in the bear cannister
It’s a bad idea to have a windscreen with a canister stove. 💥 🤯
Leave the deodorant at home anyway. It's useless after the middle of the second day; you're going to smell bad with or without it. Just embrace the stink. If you can't do that, backpacking may not be the best outdoor activity for you.
unless your near a water source, which you can wash in, then apply antiperspirant
A small deo crystal has always been my backpacking go to keep the niff at bay 😀
Don’t use anything with a scented , the bugs will eat you alive 😵
