    Very good video. This is almost exactly how I packed for the South Coast Track in Southern Tasmania. One thing I learned was that it is a good idea to pack your food up into individual bags for each day. That way you just pack out the bag for that day in the front pocket.

    Greetings from Northern California or NorCal as we say here. Always like to hear the backpacking perspective from other countries. I visit Justin Outside from Canada, Paul Messner from England and now you from Australia.

    Fold pad flat at bottom of pack then put sleeping bag on top . Makes for more room in pack from my experience.

    Good tips. Not stuffing your sleeping bag / quilt into into a stuff sack - gonna try that vs compressing it into a rock hard ball the size of a grapefruit. I also like the idea of using your puffy as a pillow in combo with that pillow case stuff sack. Will try that although I really like my Exped air pillow.

    What did your pack weigh fully loaded with food and water?

    • @tomsoutdoorsgearguide
      @tomsoutdoorsgearguide  Год назад +4

      Hey Ben, my base weight was 5.5kg, food was ~850g/day (4-5 day carries) and I usually carried 1-2L of water (up to 5L at some sections though). So fully packed would be 11-12kg and drop about a kilo each day until I reached my next food drop. I guess the average total over the trip would be around 8kg.

    im not sure if he mentioned it. but what was the final weight of the pack?

      Hey! When doing the AAWT Dom's base weight was 5.5kg, food was ~850g/day (4-5 day carries) and he usually carried 1-2L of water (up to 5L at some sections though). So fully packed would be 11-12kg and drop about a kilo each day until next food drop. Average total over the trip would be around 8kg.

    Still too many clothes, I think?

      Personal preference I guess! But does depend on where you are hiking and for how long 👍
