Great tips from you all! Thanks! I now have so many thoughts about making my own pot stand that I might make several of them and test them all out! :D Many of you said that Luna doesn't need a sleeping bag and you are right. The bag was intended for winter usage and it seems I was still in the "winter mode" for the video. In my summer hikes will not bring the dog's sleeping bag. So that's good news for my shoulders! :D
I small piece of polar fleece would be perfect for Luna in the summer. It would keep mosquitos off of her, and keep her a bit warm on chilly nights.
I have made some training sessions with her but not many. Let's see how she takes the full load on the trail :)
I love you 😍

hi! if you carry metal tent pegs, you can stick them into the ground and put your pot on them. DIY pot stand.
Damn, that's a good idea... should be obvious but never thought of it
Keanu Reeves style, "Whoa"
great idea
You can buy a small flexible metal bunsen burner mesh on amazon (approx $6) to sit on top of the tent pegs for a sturdy stove top to sit on the tent pegs and the bonus is it will fit inside your cup with the alcohol stove. ( youtuber alfie aesthetics showed me this)
That's a very good idea. I love simple solutions, and is super simple and effective.
I enjoy your videos. Really like seeing the landscape and all the bogs in Estonia.
Great job! You lightened your load and it looks like you'll still be staying safe. I like that you incorporated tips from your winter hike video a few weeks ago!
thank you for your videos!!! I didn't this evening in a park practicing the tarp shelter set ups you demonstrated a while ago. I really enjoy your videos!!
I'm looking forward to seeing your first hike using your new set up. You've made some really good changes and I'm sure you will see a big difference. Well done!
Your watercolor kit inspired me to get my own. Did some really neat sketches on my camping trip over the holiday weekend last week here across the pond. Thanks for the videos.
Another great and informative video. The weight savings are very good. It is nice to travel as light as you can knowing as well you have the appropriate gear. Thanks for sharing . Cheers from Northern Canada.
Thank you for another great video. I'm not much into the lightweight stuff, but I think I'm able to carry a little more than most.
Thanks and have a good summer!
Your videos are so down-to-earth and practical...no pretension at all. Love your stuff!
This was such a helpful video! I loved it! Much love!
Your refinements are encouraging! Light weight, good gear does cost. Keep it up!
Good video. I love to see what people carry in their packs. For every trekker there's a different list of "stuff". They will be similar but they always vary to some degree.
You have a very smart combination of equipment in your pack. And just like the rest us, you'll be constantly modifying it. By sharing info, like you have here, is how we all learn and improve our outdoor experiences.
Thanks for another good one.
Real entertaining vid, good explanation of how and why. The weight savings are so significant that you'll really feel it.
All the animals in your family are great! Both dogs, the cat, and hamster!
Great job! Well done! Keep up the great work!
First time viewer. I am looking at reducing my pack weight and so far have made some similar decisions. I now need to look at a warmer hammock underquilt that is lightweight and weather resistant. Down is nice and light, but when wet is no good. What I have is surplus military gear. Changing it out slowly. Great video! Thanks for posting such great information. I will now watch much more of you.
I really like the Sawyer Squeeze system. I have been using it for a long time and it makes even the worst water drinkable!
Your new load-out looks nice and I'm glad Luna is having to burden some of the load.
So very very glad as well that you have prepared for Luna as well. ☺
Great choice in pack, iv had mine for a year now and it's awesome! It's very light and surprisingly comfortable fully loaded.
Nice video. You're starting what I like to call hiker transformation over the next few years I wouldn't be surprised if your base weight at 5kg.
Happy hiking :-)
Another well delivered video. Cannot go wrong with osprey, I have that bag in green,
I'm pretty sure your gonna like your new pack. Osprey makes a very good product, I myself have the Atmos 50 and love how comfortable it is. Great video by the way!
Very interesting to watch your journey, some great gear choices, the pack is excellent and will make a big difference :)
GREAT choice on the rain poncho!
Really enjoy watching you're clips, I recently bought one of those Yellowstone aurora cook sets with spirit burner included. It gives off lots of heat but I haven't tried it out on a camp yet, hopefully soon though !
Thanks for putting the list of equipment with the video. Great job on video and list.
Great video as usual, always love these videos. Lovely person, wish I was Estonian 😀 x
I love how someone is throwing your dog's items to you. Almost looks like your dog is throwing them to you!
Very enjoyable video!
That was very informative and inspiring, thanks!
great video. love Lunas' backpack
You done well !! I'm studying what you did so I can get my base weight down 🙂 Happy hiking !! ( I'm vary happy your a friend of nature and are concerned about senseless waste)
:)) you are fun to watch- happy hiking with Luna !!!
best video on youtube about hiking gears. thx
Glad you made this video to update us since you decided to lighten your load. If I was you I wouldnt totally retire your old pack yet though. Given that it's 20L more I'd keep it around for long outings where you go out for more that 3 or 4 days. Great new gear though.
Hi Maiu, you get the job done! A lots of nice new staff, I'm quite sure you will have some awesome hiking trips with all those items. Have a lot of fun out in the Estonian forests ;-)
ATB. Franz, bugikraxn.
i really love your videos ! keep up !
Good upgrades. I had a dog for dog that lived until the was 15 1/2 and he went on a lot of hikes. I understand the mat but honestly I don't think the bag is necessary, possibly even in the winter unless your outside of a tent. If there's water around, Luna doesn't need water. They can drink from almost any source and not get sick. Enjoy your video. That was pretty cool how you taught Luna how to throw. LOL
good video, great insight into your gear, especially as a dog hiker..
YAY now we talking, Luna got a harness, been waiting for that. Its a fun curve in learning I watch you do, but in time you will find it more of a circle where the ends will meet again. Not going into that now but you will become stronger, more experienced and seek new adventures in time. I like your setup, cant find anything bad to say about it else than Luna is a dog and more rugged than you might think, I honestly doubt she will need her own sleeping bag, her sleeping mat and rain jacket should do fine in summer. Looking forward for new videos.
You are right about the dog's sleeping bag. I added it in because well, I was still in the mindset of winter. But probably I will not carry the bag with me now when the temperatures have risen.
great video it really is all about weight and it's nice to see that you take of Luna as well
Tx for sharing. Looks like you have saved a LOT of weight with just a few changes. Good for you. That must feel much better right?? FYI you want an inch or clearance between the top of that stove and the bottom of the pot. And maybe I missed it in your video, but you will need a good windscreen as well. Also, a Smart water bottle matches up with your water filter perfectly. No need to try and use the little bag. The bottle is much easier!! Good luck!
got the same pack, but in green. I really enjoy that pack. Sure is comfortable and nice to wear!!
Use 3 of your tarp stakes, surrounding the alcohol spirt burner, as a pot stand. Just make sure that there is 1 inch or 2.5cm between your pot and burner. I've used this, and am very pleased in doing so.
Great job with the change in equipment to save weight. I believe we always evolve as we gain more experience and technology improves!
This is great. 10 KG is impressive to start with. When we first went hiking we had 18/19KG on our backs. Nath has just managed to lose 8KG since then, he goes into that on our next kit video next week, but I still have a long way to go. Some great gear you have there and a lovely backpack too. Thanks for sharing. LOl 4:10 Show stealer haha.
Love your videos ,I'm also a hiker but from Canada New Brunswick. Going on a 75km hike Friday June 2. It's call the Dobson trail.
Congratulations on the new gear..Tip.. change the sawyer filter bag as these tend to burst i recommend a platypus water bag the cap thread will fit on your sawyer filter.
Solid gear picks! The Osprey exos is a well-loved bag here in the U.S.A. With that lighter base weight, you could consider hiking in lighter shoes too.
Haha - your dog has a backpack too? thats fantastic lol. Never seen that before but yeah, it makes sense. Great stuff!
Don't forget to store your sleeping bag (and down jacket) loosely when not in use. I ruined the degree rating on my last sleeping bag like that, found out the hard way.
Excited to hear about your next trip with your new gear! :)
YES! Excellent point. Down anything should be stored where it can stay fluffed up.
I like the new light weight kit some good choices and advice I need to start to down size and get more light weight kit my backpack/bergan is very heavy at the moment so I need to make some big changes thanks for you're video and advice stay safe
Nice load out there!
Wonderful video. Amazing to see the loss of weight from simple changes. Can I please advise you to protect the Sawyer squeeze filter from freezing in cold temperatures. If they freeze they break. Good luck with this years hiking.
Very nicely done.
A Trangia Triangle is a great weight saving burner and pot holder, it's what i use when i bring the alcohol stove ;)
Very Fun video as always, Maiu. Luna`s backpak is a great idea... I try some thing like that with my dog, but he didn`t like it :( So in the end I have to carry his stuf in my pack.
Great gear I have almost the same setup, thumbs up!!!
Maiu, thank you dear. I always enjoy your very informative videos. Please take good care of yourself dear. Looking forward to your next awesome video. Give Luna a pat for me.
The syringe with your water filter you can leave at home. Buy/find a 'Smart water' brand bottle of water with the nozzle top. Now you have a nozzle that fits most any water bottle to carry with you and it will back flush your Sawyer filter. Love your vids, you always look like you're having fun.
Another great video! There is a special tool for the propane canisters that punches a hole in them. Once you do that its safe to throw it into a recycling bin. Its Jetboil brand.
Nice progress you got there. I got two Osprey backpacks myself and they are just pure beauties :)
Few things came into my mind. In my opinion gas stove is sometimes nice, if you can spend all in one trip its comparable light. And you can actually puncture those empty containers and recycle them as metal. One other option would be refrilling those from bigger container with proper hoses, so not so much waste.
What comes to alcohol stoves, I suggest you check out youtube for do-it-yourself fancy feast style stove with wick, that can hold pot on its own. Just made one for myself and its working nicely and what I like it its quiet.
Great video again...you really are a Wonder Women thanks
The Trangia stove is a good choice mine is over 30 years old. It is a little heavier than some brands but it is bullet proof. A good thing about alcohol is it won't explode and can be extinguished with water gasoline cannot. It might smoke your pots but if you have that problem add a few drops of water to the fuel. Don't have more than 10 percent water in fuel or efficiency will suffer. Enjoy your videos. lrg
Thank you for your great videos Wonder Woman😁
That was both funny and interesting. Thank you
Thanks for sharing! Me my self have a gear that weights like 20-25 kilos. Thats becouse im in to crafting and I am out for like 1-2 weeks at the time. Just 2-3 times per year. This year I was thinking of some 2-3 days, but a couple of more hikes. Lapponia is next. In late june if the weather (snow, water) aloes it. That hike will be for approximately 2 weeks though. Btw, the sawyer water filter is very good. Light weight and very effective.
Good job! I think getting the smaller bag is a great idea: it forces you not to take too much extra gear with you :)
Nice video. Be sure to use a wind deflector around your alcohol stove to trap the heat and force it up to your cooking pot. Because alcohol burns cooler than your canister gas stove you'll want every bit of heat it produces. I switched to an alcohol stove for the same reason you did and also enjoy how quiet and simple it is.
I have been using alcohol stoves for years now. Make sure you try it a few times testing to get use to it. They take a little more work at times, especially in the wind, but great stoves. Also nice and quiet
Nice I dropped weight too even though I was 24lbs for a week long hike Base weight got rid of my Atmos 65 AG at 5lbs for a Sierra Designs Flex capacitor 40-60liter pack at 2 lbs. Also changed my hammock to an ultra light DIY hammock with half bugnet saved 3.5lbs. Total weight savings 6.5 lbs. nice load out hope it works out great for you.
The Exos is an awesome pack. I, myself, have the 38L and love it. I'm excited to test out the new Levity that Osprey has announced. Better than the Exos? We'll have to see.

Regarding your cooking system, please remember that the canister type stoves are much safer to use not only for the hiker but also for the environment. In the USA many forest fires have been caused by alcohol stoves. The fact that any bump can cause flaming alcohol to the area around the stove. If you find yourself covered with burning alcohol, reducing recycling waste is no longer your first concern. Love your channel. Godspeed
Luna's backpack is so cuute. And such a fun idea as well. Every time I watch your vids I want to go hiking lol
Did Luna toss her the backpack? Genius dog!
Yep, I have trained her to toss me things and to film for multiple camera angles ;D
Well done!
I was going to suggest using Luna as a pack dog. Most dogs love to work, I'm glad you got her a pack. I bet she's happier and bless you for always thinking about your dog, not so many do.
Great list. May be you could also get rid of that blue seat mat and just use your (or Luna's) sleep mat instead?
If the alcohol stove doesn't work for you, you can still go back to the gas canister and learn how to refill it from your regular kitchen gas cylinder. No more trash! :)
Check out the Fancee Feest stove. You can buy or make one. It has a built in pot stand and is super light.
It helped my pack weight to eliminate most stuff sacks. I also cut the sleeping mat to 16 inches wide to save weight. Thank you.
You can get 3 or 4 large nails as a pot stand. You stab them in the ground around the stove to the hight you want. Works great. Nails are handy for other things as well
It's easy to just grab stuff in the house when you first start off, for me i bought a 2man dome tent, (quite a large) camping Butane cooker, foam matt and a sleeping bag, just these 4 items to do a parachute jump 12 years ago, once it served it's purpose and i got the hiking bug from the experience, i started to use the items for camping trips, then hiking trips, so i had to bring other gear , like a back pack, Saucepan, kettle, torch etc were just grabbed from the house. I tell you, the back pack was about 65 ltrs, so quite big, but with all the gear i packed, it must have weighed about 70 pounds and it was stuffed to ripping point. Now, with alot of modern gear with food and water my pack is about 28 - 30 pounds... Much better.
Another good point about alcohol stoves is that you can use a high ethanol content liquor (such as "Everclear 190, which is 95% ethanol) for fuel, antiseptic purposes, and for energy (by drinking it). Methanol, while a good fuel for stoves, is poisonous and should not be used for anything but stove fuel. I don't know if Everclear 190 (or something similar) is available in Estonia, but it can be found in the US. While I don't drink alcohol beverages, I'd rather have a fuel that can be used for more than one purpose in an emergency - I could consume it if I had to for energy, although sparingly to be sure, and I could use it to sanitize skin surfaces and cleanse around wounds prior to dressing them, or as an accelerant to help a fire get started. Cheers.
Very enjoyable video. I am so glad you show both metric and the silly out dated system we use here in the states. Someday we might come out of the stone age.
good setup, I have quite different one, informative video
such fun !!!
White Box Stove. I can not say enough about it. I just got mine and used it a few times out on the field. It’s the same price on Amazon as the Triage you got. It’s just a hand made alcohol stove from a thick aluminum bottle, but the guy machines them to be really nice. But you don’t need something to hold your pot. You just put your pot on it and it will support almost any pot.
fyi, if you release the last of the gas and puncture it and crush it down, you can recycle them the same as food tins. Jetboil has a tool for this, but I just attach my stove and open the valve without lighting the stove, leave it on my porch out of the sun for a couple of days to make sure it is completely depressurised and then puncture a hole in the side. then take the stove off and flatten the empty canister with my boot :)
You can refill the gas canisters but I use a trangia too. The Exos 48 is a great backpack, I have been using it for a couple of years now with no problems. My only gripe is there is no built in rain cover, but it's light, durable and good for a couple of nights out. Atb.
Great video! I like my EXOS pack and I think you will like it as well.
OK happy trails to you. thanks I appreciate your time and videos your AWESOME women
Muy buen vídeo, me gusta mucho tu canal y estoy suscrito, una pregunta para el agua usas solamente la botella del filtro, o una aparte?. Saludos!
Great job. Checkout the cat food stove on you tube. It is light weight and is its own pot stand.
Im Glad your pack got lighter by so much AND just last videos i had suggested Luna get the doggy pack!! im happy to see your trying it out! cant wait to see how it looks. you should of had Luna model it on today's vlog. much love. keep on keeping on.
I only realized later that I should have put the bag on Luna but well, yeah... I didn't :D
20lb combined pack weights is pretty good I think.. great video.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That dog is sure cute!!
One side note is that tarps seem expensive there in Estonia. A 8x8 foot tarp is only about $6 CAD here. A heavy 8x8 canvas tarp is about $30.
just found out your essential list =) very straight forwad..
On those gas cylinders, they are 100% recyclable, you just have to puncture the cylinder before putting it in the recycle bin or wherever you drop off recyclable stuff in Estonia. Your hiking store should have a tool for that purpose. Just remember for the Trangia alcohol stove, the fuel is liquid so it is quite heavy, AND is not as efficient as the gas cylinders.
I guess I would still try and keep the option to have the outer layer. I believe it is better to consider your options based on layering, which also do not take up too much pack space or weight, especially when you may actually be wearing some of them etc. Enjoyed your videos - if I get back to Europe before I retire I am going to hike Estonia!!!
Rain poncho- make sure both you and the bag are covered. To long poncho u'll trip. My personal choice is goretex Gen 1 US army. Cold/Wet
Hiker..... I'm sure at this point you know this, however I'll mention it anyway. If you are planning on wearing the long underwear you sleep in for a really cold day, keep in mind that if you sleep in that same underwear at the end of the day, it will be damp with body sweat and be LESS effective in keeping you warm I would strongly recommend not wearing sleepwear for warmth during the day, unless it's an emergency. It's better to hike cold and sleep war, than visa versa. Also, attack your compass to your clothing, just like your whistle and pepper spray. In your fire kit consider getting a ferocissimum rod for starting fires I have three; one for my kit, one for my person and one for my pack. Nice to see you got Luna her own backpack. Nice going. Good Kit video..... Thanks for sharing.... Ax
