I had friends laugh at me saying I was carrying too much on a day hike until one borrowed a layer because they were chilly, took care of blisters on another and filtered water for one who ran out. They now get it and beefed up their day kit.
I’ve been hiking a lot this season in the Wasatch mountains in Utah…shocked how many “hikers” I see, literally on every hike, that don’t even have water. A pregnant women last week with her partner- no water, simple pack , or hiking shoes. Great video!
Yes, I think that has a lot to do with the close access to so many trails, five minutes from home. Easy to get out, and not know what should be taken with. Likely cause they don't own any of the gear.
Tell ol' girl to carry a hankerchief for less waste. No matter the hike, I ALWAYS carry an extra pair of dry socks. On a hot day, I change socks at the halfway point whether I think I need to or not. Thank you Uncle Sam for that habit!
Thanks to you I have a Waymark EMBR and a WM Ultralite bag. Love them both. Great tips on the day items. I bring an emergency bivy because I once found a hiker soaked to the bone and shivering on a rock. Your entire family seem like great people. Rock on, Devin!
I would recommend carrying a physical map with you in addition to the one on your phone, because you can't rely solely on technology when you're in the backcountry

We saw a total eclipse a few years back. Very cool/weird experience. It was like twilight then dark for a few minutes, but no long shadows. All the birds got quiet, and the crickets started chirping. My dog curled up and laid down. Then the sun was back out.
Great video!!! I love my day hikes and always prepare for the unexpected changes. I always add my Dyneema tarp and headlamp for the event of something going sideways and getting stuck out in weather or overnight.
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing the Essentials for a day hike. I like the essentials that you chose. All the best to you and your Family. Stay safe out there. 😮
I think it is ok to not hike with a pack, but personally just like to take a small one to easily stash away layers or layer up. In summer I go full minimalist however and will stick to a camelback with a first aid pouch attached, more than first aid kit the water Blatter itself and a pocket knife will not be with me. Optionally will tie a waterproof jacket/ windbreaker to it if the weather might call for it. Just love hiking like that.
Nice video. My step son and I are doing the Dragons Tooth and McAfee Knob in the Blue Ridge Mountains next weekend! As an amateur hiker, I'm trying to get all the info I can ahead of time.
Nice video - I think #1 could have been some form of communication. If it's a smart phone, confirm you'll have reception. If its a Satellite system like your ZOLEO confirm it's active and fully charged. FYI, I carried a ZOLEO on my AT Thru Hike this year and it was terrible so I sold it as soon as I got home.
Great list. I always carry a bandana as a handkerchief, a family sized first aid kit, a small Swiss Army knife and an extra pair of gloves especially in the cooler months. I try to carry and cover the ten essentials list on every hike. And of course extra snacks!
Awesome hike with your wife. I love that trail. Such a beautiful area. Looks like the early snow is staying in the area too. Nice packing job and gear selections. Keep it up and you might start having a heavy pack like me. LOL. Cool video. Glad you got to hike on eclipse day. Take care.
I love your videos. I was wondering what the best resource is to find overnight hikes for beginners so I could do a gear shakedown. Want to start overnight backpacking. I am in Southern Utah but would love to also do some Uintah Mountan hiking and camping also. It’s hard to find local overnight hikes in my opinion because you don’t know if camping is allowed
Food, water filter, at least a fleece along with a tarp tent, headlamp. Lots of things can happen if you are out for “just” a day hike under prepared. I see people with just a water bottle and cringe
@@techguy9023Ironically, the people out there with just the essentials are probably more experienced. You really don’t need all that unless you’re the type to carry a bug out bag to drive to the grocery store
@@techguy9023a lot of people either don’t know any different, or are just choosing to carry less. This mountain we were on is notorious for a lot of rescues from people being unprepared. A lot of people just get “lucky” carrying little to no proper gear.

Gear videos are always great. It’s always good to take account of what you’ve got, what you may not ever use, what might be better to use etc.

Thank you! They are great. The Bivy is a great item to carry too.

This was brilliantly executed video bud, helpful and simply presented in one professional and enjoyable way!
Great tips beginning to get into hiking 🤞🏻
Great pack by the way. Big Agnes killed it with that little guy.

Great practical advice!🥾

Excellent gear considerations and list!

I like it, thanks for sharing. 👊🏻

What are the shoes that you're wearing in this video? Thank you and great video as always! :)
Thanks! They are the Danner Trail 2650 Mid.

Always testing gear and seeing what is out there. :) Thanks!
