Great stuff Justin! When on the bike do you wear the pack or does it go on the front rack? What do you typically keep in the saddle and frame bags for a trip like this?
Depends on the trip/setup. when I was making this video, I was actually taking my clothes out of the Fastpack 40, and stuffing it into the bike's bike saddlebag (and doing a bit more reorganizing). Then, I can lash the bag to the front rack on the Surly ECR you see in the background - or just wear it.
Ha ha love that, you are all in lightweight mode and an old boy comes trudging on behind with a massive pack that looks about 20kg! I can't believe that there are so many people out there humping that amount of gear
Ha! Yeah, it's a little funny. But it is a difference in thinking: I'm bringing little so I can bring everything on my climb (and climb a whole lot more!) Other's are bringing a ton to set up a very comfy base camp to then go off the next day and do a day hike with a much smaller pack. Since I'm not sitting around much at camp, I don't "optimize" for that.
@@TheLongRanger a lot is because they are taught to take that crap. I'm a hiker, I did the AV1 in the Dolomites, 120km, with under 9kg, with a framed pack. Met people on trail carrying 15kg who weren't even camping! This season trying a new UD Fastpack 40 to reduce another 2kg hence found your video. Hiking not running. Anyway point is you don't have long at camp and the hours of pain with a heavy pack isn't worth the luxury, which isn't even luxury. Often it is packed fears anyway.
I don't have the weight of this pack, but here's a somewhat similar trip with the total weight and breakdown: justinsimoni.com/sangre-de-cristo-range-traverse/gear-list/
Hey thanks! Unless I'm guiding a client, I don't bring much in terms of medical supplies at all. My personal item kit is usually just contact solution + case, an asthma inhaler, toothbrush/toothpaste, some Aleve and several liters of sun screen. I do bring an inReach mini if things go sideways and I need an extraction - thankfully, never triggered!
I currently use a Rab bivi that seems to have been discontinued. This is the closest you'll find of it (mine doesn't even have a zipper) www.backcountry.com/rab-storm-bivy

LMAO I can't believe I didn't catch that the first time! Poor guy 6:20
Any idea what your pack weighs fully loaded. Am interested to understand the capability of the pack for 5 day hikes.
I don't have the weight of this pack, but here's a somewhat similar trip with the total weight and breakdown: justinsimoni.com/sangre-de-cristo-range-traverse/gear-list/
What do you use to heat up food? Or is it all stuff that's eaten cold?
I usually don't bring a stove - last time was to meltsnow to make water.
Hey Justin! Love your videos, keep up the good work! do you take a med kit with you?!

What bivy do you use?

Actually here's what I currently use,

@@TheLongRanger what do you do when it rains? It looks like the other one is rain proof but twice the weight.
@@intothefoxhole7985 I'll bring a tarp as well - different tarp depending on how likely it is to rain on me.
