Just remember when in Utah if you don't like the weather just wait a few hours it can change frequently throughout the day especially in the Springtime. Beware of flash floods. It can be sunny where you're at but raining miles away but can still affect where you're at.
I used the peak design capture clip on the Everest base camp trek to carry my Fuji XT-3 and similar sized f2.8 zoom. honestly, I barely noticed the camera.
You should make Jupiter one of your ultralite tents!! I think you're about the same height! How To Build The Lightest DCF Tent - @montmolar MYOG great video!!
Been looking forward to a cold soaking video for a while! I'm section-hiking the AZ Trail and want to test this method on one of my future sections. I've learned a lot from these gear videos you've done! Thanks so much for sharing all your experience!
Watching this as I pack for my trip down to the Escalante area next week. Gonna do Coyote Gulch as an overnight and then some day hikes through slot canyons. Excited to see your Hayduke videos!
I've been following your channel for years and have always looked to you as a mentor in the ultralight backpacking community. I must admit, I was initially disheartened to see the shift in your recent videos toward heavier, more comfortable tents and sleeping pads. It felt like a departure from the ultralight principles that drew me to your channel in the first place. The essence of challenging oneself with minimalist gear seemed lost, and I was left feeling a bit disconnected from the ethos that I so admired. Seems you're circling back to the roots with tarp camping and cold soaking meals! Keep sharing the wilderness with us.
You are azstud for the lightweight cult. I still cannot believe you have mastered sleeping on that Thinlite pad and not become known as Cranky Hikes. Btw, you turned me on to that Rovy Von light and I ❤ it!!! Incredible. Love that it glows for in tent locating at night
no Gaiters? I'm sure you know about Dirty Girl Gaiters, right? I had two pair for years, but never could get the velco to stay glued to the shoes I was wearing. Now the Altras have the velco on the rear of the shoe already securely attached, so I'm wearing mine and loving them. I do a lot of walking and hiking in southeaster AZ where it's rocky and sandy. The Gaiters keep the sand and pebbles out of my shoes.
Always fun to watch your gear lists ... I love the platypus filter.. never failed me. (You are a beast to to sleep on a GG thinlight pad like that hahahaha) Take care and good luck on this journey.
I can't wait to watch your Hayduke videos! A few thoughts about your gear list: the bidet might not be the best for long-water carries. Consider tying a 10-foot section of line to your pack for lowering into canyons. I've just started on my Hayduke journey, but I found that leg protection (especially gaiters) was crucial. Happy trails, Jupiter!
My partner is carrying some cordage, but from what we hear it's more necessary when solo, where as a couple we can just pass packs back and forth more easily. Still, we do have it 'as a group' !
Thanks for the video! I totally respect the 1/8 foamlite, but I have always thought that camp selection (fresh grass, pine duff, soft base) was a huge part of that choice. Having hiked quite a bit in southern Utah, I am wondering what your process is for site selection and preparation for sleeping in sand or very sandy soil.
Absolutely amazing helpful. Thanks for sharing your adventure. I recommend you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak. Add this sound in your bucket list.
Oooh, so glad you are coming back to my State! Isn't Utah so unique? You've got the epic scenary of the Unita Highline trail and then something like the Hayduke which is just as epic but very different.
Such an awesome adventure. Can’t wait to see how everything goes, especially navigation challenges and solutions. I wonder what the weight difference would be for a nicer little compass that would let you mark a bearing if you wanna not be checking the phone so often. Only a couple of degrees can make a difference in an hour 😬 … but I’d guess your plan is stronger than my uninformed fear!
Another great video! A special thanks for the info about the Coros dongle! I have Coros also and happy to know I don't have to take the whole entire cord! Wishing you an awesome hike :)
Just stumbled over the *Senchi Designs Alpha 60 Crewneck* online randomly yesterday. Seeing you bring one confirms to me that that is what I'm going to get! Thanks Jupiter! I think I'll go for the hoodless one, as I'm also planning to finally make the transition from merino T-Shirt to a sun hoodie. Don't want too many hoods on at once 😂
@@JupiterHikes wow, thanks for the reply! Looking forward to follow your progress on the Hayduke trail! I always feel a bit guilty when clicking one of your gear videos, because I know they might not be your favorite to do - but that you have to do them to make a living. Just know that you have fans who really enjoy your other content too. Loved the recent campsite selection video!
That's cool the tarp is 9 feet wide at the head end. That should be plenty of coverage for the both of you. I just tried out the 7x9 Borah Gear silpoly tarp and ultralight bivy in wide and it worked out great. Nice camera system. Looking forward to checking out the footage.
You did a great job modeling your clothing for this trip, especially the Columbia shirt.😊 You always crack me up with your absolute minimalist gear kit. Kudos to you for being able to get by with so little. But I don't know how you can sleep comfortably with only a little 1/8th" foam pad. I use one of those too, but put it under my nice comfy NeoAir XTherm pad to keep it from sliding inside my nice cozy Big Agnes Copper Spur tent. Looking forward to your videos of the upcoming Hayduke Trail!
Got the cleaning coupler for my sawyer filter, and that allows me to do a gravity filter with the 2L bag and a bottle threads onto the output. I need to increase my water drinkage.
I just bought the dongle for the Coros. Thanks Jupe. The bucket hat looks cool but it’s not providing much sun protection. Am I missing something about it? The bigger hats can look goofy, but I love the protection.
The dongle is awesome, and even works better than the cord that came with my coros! Nice to not have to carry that, and mess with it every night to get the right angle to charge
And not missing much. It's better than a baseball hat, basically. I like to have my hearing, and the giant sun hats provide a lot of protection, but all day all I hear is the fabric of those sun hats.
The infamous gossamer gear pad. Not even a single hole in it. Man chooses his camp sites extremely carefully. We need a tutorial on ways to optimise for comfort with this thing man. Do you put divets in the ground around your shoulders and hips? Or do you just plank out like dracula in a coffin all night 🤣 comfort aside though, no idea how it isnt freezing on this thing, or how you even attach a quilt to it. So many questions.
So if you're using the 20 degree quilt because it's likely to get colder at night, but no sleeping pad with an r-value, is the assumption that the ground gets heated up during the day, and will provide some warmth through the night? But I know nothing about the desert, and am really looking forward to this one, too. The Hayduke seems a little mysterious and isn't covered much at all on RUclips.
Hey Jupiter, I noticed you're rocking the frogg toggs in this video. Did you switch back to it or is it just for that trip? Still haven't tried FT but interested in them.
I encountered two spots on the hayduke where I had to take off my pack and lower it by rope for a short downclimb. Your route may differ, but make sure you've got a plan to protect the camera in that situation.
Is Jupiter for sure using a Nylofume pack liner? In previous videos he just calls it a "garbage bag", so I'm not sure. I'm wondering because I also use Nylofume liners from GGG, but mine are significantly louder and more "crinkly" sounding. His sounds and looks different.
11:05 Genuine question. Do you use the same water bottles for drinking/cooking and the bidet? I've never used a bidet in the wild before. I prefer to stay clean 'back there' on the trail and then again... don't you have "recoil water" hitting the butt and then fall back onto the bottle? In my mind it doesn't seem super hygienic in regards to the bottle if you have to drink from it afterwards? Please enlighten me, lol. Right now we use wet wipes and throw them out when we reach a trashcan but you do indeed create more trash and you have to carry them around for days as well...
Looks like you are all set for a great hike!! Since Hayduke is not actually a trail - you will be destroying your windpants and rain jacket as you bushwack. Just food for thought. Be careful out there!!
Why are there not more questions about the bidet?! 1. Is this instead of toilet paper? 2. Will this not increase the volume of water you need to carry? 3. Will you use a hand / something else to aid with the cleaning? 4. Do you carry soap / hand sanitizer to clean your hands afterwards?
That's a lot of questions! The bidet is just something fun I want to try as a better way to stay clean. Given the lack of water on this trail I likely won't be using it every time or everyday. Other trails I might. I am carrying toilet paper, which I think was mentioned in the video. So ideally for *this trail* I would use the bidet while near a water source, so I could just fill up again after use, again because of the lack of overall water. Still I think it'll be cool and hopefully a fun new piece of gear to help keep clean in an area that is difficult
Underwear for sure, maybe I forgot to mention! If my shorts have a liner I don't wear underwear, but these do not have a liner so I find that I need them
@@JupiterHikes yeah same. I’ve always thru hiked in running shorts with a liner, so no undies. But was considering these palante shorts and was wondering if that meant I’d need to buy underwear to hike in too.
Hi Jupiter, great videos !! What size is your Alpha 60 hoodie and how tall are you ? I'm in between medium and large and thinking I would like a more relaxed fit, so large. Thank you and enjoy your amazing hike trip !!
Maybe a strange question , how do you keep your toe nails short ? The Cold soaking of food seems very popular amongst the ultralight brigade , you don’t miss something hot after a long hard day ? Thank you for sharing your trips with us . I , like most people find them very helpful . Cheers
Occasionally I will buy a nail clipper when in town, on more popular trails you can often just find them in hiker boxes for free tho. If one isn't in there, then I will typically contribute the one I had bought! And no I do not miss that, but I think cold soaking is more valuable the longer the trip. Eventually cooking becomes to feel like a chore, the lighter weight of cold soaking becomes more appealing, the efficiency of it becomes more appealing... All on longer and longer trips. For a three day backpack? Yeah bring that stove 99% of the time, cold soaking holds little value for short trips imo
You don't need any tools to trim your nails. You can use your index and thumb nails to make a rip at the edge of a nail, carefully. At which point it's easy to rip it off. The only risk is that you trim the nail a bit too short but it's nothing you can't improve on with practice.
Hey I was wondering if you have read the monkey wrench gang or hayduke lives?if you haven't it's worth a listen on your trip.have fun thanks for videos
Bro how on earth do you get any sleep on your " pad " ?????? U kill me with ur MINIMUM approach 😮!!!!! I MITE be able to do some things but not cozy insulated pad !!!!??? MAYBE one of those foldable z pad by thermarest ????. I guess you don't know until you try right😮😅. Like the new (?) camera the clip free strap whoever invented that is totally genius 🙏😎. I guess you're still young enough to be able to reach around and grab your water bottle?? Don't be totally honest okay does the tarp actually protect you from blowing wind blowing dust blowing rain bugs and just breezed in general ????
Hey boss, I think that sleeping pad is going to far 4 me !!!!! But I was wondering, new here, if u eat like u pack 😢😮 . and the time of year r snakes n other critters like sleeping bags too 😂???? well ur done with this trail bye know so on to " not cooking w Jupiter " lol😅😂 ..... how do u find the stuff u find ???? i hate coputers.....bluh... the internet.... its the outer net !!!!!!!!!!!😢😮
@@JupiterHikes Ah, clever. I think my alpha will have no hood for the flexibility ... same with my winter gear, as I am looking to have separate down jacket and hood.
Water does not count towards "base weight" neither does food. The second you drink, or eat, that weight changes. The gear on the other hand "the base weight" does not change through the trip and thus that is the standard rule of measurement.
As always thank you for following along! I am really looking forward to this one 🙂
Hayduke has been on my list of "somedays" for long time. Im super excited to watch this one when your done.
Wow that sounds hard
How does your camera perform when the weather is rainy or cold?
Just remember when in Utah if you don't like the weather just wait a few hours it can change frequently throughout the day especially in the Springtime. Beware of flash floods. It can be sunny where you're at but raining miles away but can still affect where you're at.
I'm so excited for you two to be hiking the Hayduke! Best of luck, and enjoy the adventure. I'm looking forward to the trail videos. 👍🏽⛺🌵
A moment of silence for all ultralight hikers who got blown away by the wind.
🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣
💀💀 im ded
😂
You always crack me up when you pull out that gossamer gear pad 😂
I have so much respect for thru hikers who decide to carry bigger/heavier camera gear for better image quality. Us viewers are lucky as hell!
I will remember this comment in two weeks when I am inevitably complaining about my camera lol
Totally, full respect for the extra effort to carry camera equipment and use it.
I used the peak design capture clip on the Everest base camp trek to carry my Fuji XT-3 and similar sized f2.8 zoom. honestly, I barely noticed the camera.
Way too many desert creepy crawlies out there for me not to bring a tent rather than a tarp. You're a brave lad, have fun out there.
Yes. I'm wondering why not a better sleeping pad too, but to each their own.
Sunscreen, benedryl, first aid,soap,spare underware, bandana. Falls are likely on this trip. Sun harsh also.
the piece of foam is back.. 🥲
It's been missed
3.8kg and like 800g of that is camera equipment! Mad impressive, looking forward to seeing the footage
I carry also a drone and tripod for my videos, and it's about 2kg, it feels like a massive commitment sometimes
That's the Jupiter gear list we've all grown to love
Little tip for the leukotape: round the edges to help with unwanted peeling.
You should make Jupiter one of your ultralite tents!! I think you're about the same height! How To Build The Lightest DCF Tent - @montmolar MYOG great video!!
A really great tip!! I sometimes do this, but often am too lazy lol
That Leukotape hack with the packing slip backing is gold!
The Peak Design clip was a game changer for me. Love it.
Haha, very suprised to see Suunto compass there. I'm a Finn and Suunto is a Finnish company that produces their products here in Finland
Thanks so much for the video. Look forward to your cold soak recipes, the peanut butter jar and spoon "here's my cook kit"
Can't wait for the video(s) of your time on the Hayduke. Good luck, and happy trails! Much love from AL, USA!
Make sure to "seam seal" the bottom seam of the nylofume bag with packing tape. I've found many small holes at the seam!
Been looking forward to a cold soaking video for a while! I'm section-hiking the AZ Trail and want to test this method on one of my future sections. I've learned a lot from these gear videos you've done! Thanks so much for sharing all your experience!

Hope you have a great time. I could never do a tarp. Can't wait to see the videos.
As someone who is getting into photography , the camera clipper looks like a fantastic idea!

I never left, I just wanted to show others that my way isn't the best way for everybody, and here's all these other options I think are great

Awesome to see Anda UL in the kit. I recently got myself a burrito bivy. Can't wait for weather to be better(rain mostly...) to start testing it out.
Nice, i use the frog toggs too!

I gotta try it lol
An exciting trip! 800-some miles: How much time are you allowing to walk it?
Can't wait to follow along!
I get the ultralight craze but damn not having a sleep pad is crazy to me
Hayduke Lives
Interested to see your thoughts on the Senchi over the KUIU Peloton as I recently made the switch as well.
Nice. Have some fun out there don’t get lost.. 👍
Hey Jupiter, I noticed you're rocking the frogg toggs in this video. Did you switch back to it or is it just for that trip? Still haven't tried FT but interested in them.
Super useful! Great vid!
I encountered two spots on the hayduke where I had to take off my pack and lower it by rope for a short downclimb. Your route may differ, but make sure you've got a plan to protect the camera in that situation.
Put it in my pack I guess 🙂
Nice, thank you for the information
Hayduke=Hardcore...have fun sir.

What do you think the tweezer in the swiss army knife is good for in the desert?
cutting the toothbrush in half saves a ton of weight clutch move
can you share me information about watch band? where can i buy it?

One piece of gear that I missed was a bug net. As it warms up it will not be the mosquitoes but the GNATS!
It was much considered but deciding to leave it behind, should I need one that's at least a very very easy thing to find along the way
Do you wear underwear with the shorts or do they have a mesh liner?
Underwear for sure, maybe I forgot to mention! If my shorts have a liner I don't wear underwear, but these do not have a liner so I find that I need them

Awesome!
you convinced me ot try the coros, how are you using it? tracking each day charging every night or ?
Hi Jupiter, great videos !! What size is your Alpha 60 hoodie and how tall are you ? I'm in between medium and large and thinking I would like a more relaxed fit, so large. Thank you and enjoy your amazing hike trip !!

You don't need any tools to trim your nails. You can use your index and thumb nails to make a rip at the edge of a nail, carefully. At which point it's easy to rip it off. The only risk is that you trim the nail a bit too short but it's nothing you can't improve on with practice.
As a woman, it would be cool if you could post your partner's gear list.
I am wanting to! She doesn't really want to be on camera like that, but maybe it would be funny for me to go through her gear in a video
Hey I was wondering if you have read the monkey wrench gang or hayduke lives?if you haven't it's worth a listen on your trip.have fun thanks for videos
I have read both, and desert solitaire as well :) I will surely listen to the audio books while out on this hike again! Loved them all!
Do you wash your clothing from time to time? Crazy that you don’t even have a second underwear
Generally I wash clothes every 3-8 days when I go to town for more food, or wash them in a swimming hole if possible
me after googling wag bag 😲
No soap? 🤔
Desert ground at night . Cold . Hard . Maybe Prickly
Can't wait 🤤🤤
Do you plan on using the 1/8" GG pad for the Colorado Trail too?
Yes!
💙
Bro how on earth do you get any sleep on your
" pad " ??????
U kill me with ur
MINIMUM approach 😮!!!!!
I MITE be able to do some things but not cozy insulated pad !!!!??? MAYBE one of those foldable z pad by thermarest ????.
I guess you don't know until you try right😮😅.
Like the new (?) camera the clip free strap whoever invented that is totally genius 🙏😎. I guess you're still young enough to be able to reach around and grab your water bottle?? Don't be totally honest okay does the tarp actually protect you from blowing wind blowing dust blowing rain bugs and just breezed in general ????
Hey boss, I think that sleeping pad is going to far 4 me !!!!!
But I was wondering, new here, if u eat like u pack 😢😮 . and the time of year r snakes n other critters like sleeping bags too 😂???? well ur done with this trail bye know so on to
" not cooking w Jupiter " lol😅😂 .....
how do u find the stuff u find ???? i hate coputers.....bluh... the internet.... its the outer net !!!!!!!!!!!😢😮
You call that ultra light?! I go barefoot, removed three teeth and had my left testicle surgically removed.
