Great informational video. You certainly are well organized. If I'm the driver, I ALWAYS carry two vehicle keys, in different pockets. All the best to you. Stay safe out there. 🤗
Good idea! I've lost my key once. Thankfully it was returned to me and it was an absolute miracle. Losing my car keys on a hike is a huge fear of mine. I love the built on clip inside my fanny pack that provides great key storage while out on trail. :)

Yay! Glad you enjoyed this one and found it to be useful. Be sure to see my updated version of this video for this year (2021): ruclips.net/video/GaU-i1_WS98/видео.html
Good video, thanks 👍 My day pack is 33 litres, I sometimes take a compact digital SLR camera and a stove kit, so find I need the extra space. Spare socks are a must as you say, I also take a spare base layer

Nice to see another water bladder user. Not many of the hikers on RUclips seem to still be using them. I prefer them except when its sub-zero degrees and the drink tube is frozen solid. Thanks for your run-down; very informative.....
Yes!!! I love my hydration bladder and was definitely one of the small few who used one while thru-hiking the PCT. I especially loved the convenience of adding an adapter to my tube so I don't have to take my bladder out each time I need to refill my water. You might want to check into the Four Seasons Hydration Kit by Osprey if you're looking to use a hydration bladder during the winter months. Otherwise, use a Nalgene bottle and make sure to pack it upside down so the water doesn't freeze at the top near the opening. Good luck!
@@odys3803 For me it mostly doesn't work when temps are close to or below zero. Also seems to be more of an issue when the bladder is fuller rather than closer to empty.
@@odys3803 I've tried that as well. I generally don't like carrying smart water bottles, nalgenes or other cannister type drink bottles...too many years in the military having to reach behind me while on the move for a 1 or 2 quart canteen that never seemed to be quite in reach. Back then we had the bladder 5 quart canteens for bulk carry. When Camelbaks came along...and the various contraptions that would turn your GI 1 or 2 quart canteens into a type of Camelbak, with a hose..anyways, we thought those were the best idea ever for hydrating. I still carry a 1 quart plastic bottle on the side of the Osprey, but its for mixed drinks ( usually ) or if filled with water, a sort of "reserve" for when I drink the Camelbak dry between water sources.
I wrap a rubber band around my batteries, place in a plastic bag, then band the outside of the plastic bag to prevent the contacts from touching. I also carry an extra band for batteries that are discharged.
Thank you! From all of my adventuring and training with The Mountaineers over the years, I've learned that there's no such thing as being over prepared. I always prepare and pack for the worse case scenario. Besides, the extra weight on the day hikes makes for great training for backpacking season.
As a rookie to hiking this video is great! A lot of gear but it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. One thing that I would upgrade personally is the med kit. I like to have my trauma kit so if God forbid I come across a seriously injured hiker I can render first aid and not have to wait on rangers to get to us.
Since making this video, I've completed my Wilderness First Aid Certification and have updated my backpacking first aid kit. Here are all the details on what I now include in my first aid kit for each of the trips I go on out in the backcountry: ruclips.net/video/NkdFtXyKodg/видео.html
Hi Kathleen, I know this one is a couple years old now but I'm re-watching your videos and I'm a bladder girl vs water bottles. Could you tell me we're you got the Sawyer Squeeze adapter from?
Hi! Love your video. I also have an Osprey Tempest 20. We are planning Wainwright coast to coast this summer. I wanted a sit pad (just like yours) and then couldn’t decide….did it turn out to be useful? Thank you!
Great question! Looks like Osprey just released a newer version of the Tempest 20. It's all black and super sleek looking. My pack size is S/M, but it doesn't look like that size is being offered yet. Only the XS/S or the M/L is listed on the website. I think your best bet is to measure your torso and use the Osprey Size & Fit guide that's located on the product page. Hope that helps!
Hi Hungry Hiker, What type of Rain Jacket did you use on PCT? Rain Pants? Weight of Each? Roughly how many days did it rain on PCT Thu- Hike? Thank You
On the PCT, I used the Arc'teryx Women's Norvan Jacket as my rain jacket and loved it. It's super light and kept me really dry. I think it weighs 3.9 ounces. I didn't use rain pants on the PCT, just leggings whenever it was really cold along with a pair of waterproof gaiters.I have no idea how many days it rained on the PCT, but most of our rain days were in Washington. For a complete breakdown of how I planned my PCT thru-hikes and the gear I used for both of my hikes, visit this link on my blog: www.kathleenlovesyoga.com/pacific-crest-trail-hiking-tips/ Let me know if you have any other questions!
I am the QUEEN of overpacking! With each long-distance hike I do, I tend to carry less and less. The trick with day hiking is to use a smaller pack. It makes it really hard to overpack. If I use a bigger pack, I'm too tempted to fill it with stuff I don't need.
What was the adapter you used with the Sawyer water filter that allows you to filter directly into your water bladder? I can't find that online! Very cool!
A quick look in the video description and you'll find all of the links for the products I mention in this video. In case you missed it, I think this is the link you're looking for: Hydration Pack Adapter amzn.to/33BbbWy
I never used to use hiking poles until my first thru-hike o the PCT in 2018. They came highly recommended by another thru-hiker. As for these particular poles, I did a fair amount of research before I purchased them. I started with the collapsible, lightweight trekking poles and they snapped in half on my first big fall in the Sierra. These are MUCH sturdier. I love them!
backpacking wise, very helpful to me. First aid wise, it could use a little bit of a upgrade. The risk of Lyme Disease on the Appalachian Trail for example is quite high, though measures against it can be cheap and light weight and should be included in any outdoors first aid kit now a days in my humble opinion. As for the rest of the first aid gear, its good for small stuff but again, in my humble opinion it could use at least some of the "stop the bleed" adviced measures. You will get home with blisters that you cant treat. a cut from a branch or dirty tool on the otherhand. .. stopping the bleed is atleast a important part the battle.
I keep a 36 inch sam splint in my pack aswell it can be folded up and be less than an inch thick along with the rest of my trauma gear. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it
@@TheHungryHiker I honestly didn't know that was a thing, but thank you for your response. I'm just now getting into backpacking, so I'll keep that in mind 🙏
Here’s a post I wrote that you might find helpful: How to Poop Responsibly Outdoors www.the-hungry-hiker.com/2019/07/09/how-to-poop-responsibly-outdoors/
@@TheHungryHiker I read it. In the Leave No Trace article linked to in your blog post ("Principle 3: Dispose of Waste Properly") , it says to either thoroughly bury TP in a cat hole, or pack it out. So that is acceptable? I've always been sure to go WAY off the beaten trail and make sure it's completely covered, with dirt and big rocks if I can find them. I mean no offense or disrespect.
Think of it this way. When you bury TP, there’s still the chance that animals will dig it up. Yes you can bury used TP, but it’s really best practice to pack out the TP and throw it away in the trash once you get into town. I’ve seen enough used TP left behind at tentsites to convince me why it’s a good idea to just pack it out.
How in the world do you get the bladder in the bag?! Haha. I just bought this pack and I am just wrestling the damn thing. I feel like an idiot and I’m yelling at it. Lol. Please help!!!
I don't carry bear spray on my hikes and that's a personal choice. The areas I go for day hikes aren't known for bear sightings. The thing with bears is you don't want to surprise them (you want to make noise), you want to give them their space (don't approach them) and at least in this area bears usually don't want anything to do with hikers. So looking big with my trekking poles and making noise is sufficient. If I'm traveling in a place that requires safe food storage like bear canisters or an ursack, I will happily obliged and follow the rules, but I still choose not to carry bear spray. If I were hiking in grizzly country, I'd probably have a different answer. :)
Unfortunately I didn't weigh my day pack setup for last year, BUT I plan on doing another one of these videos for this year and will be sure to include the weight. I've swapped out some of my gear and even how I set up my first aid kit and repair bag.
Tell me about it! Hiking videos and videos featuring hiking gear always make me want to go hiking. I literally cry while watching some of the PCT vlogs because I want to get back out there so bad.
@@OneFootOfftheGrid Funny that you mentioned The Wonderland Trail. I haven't posted it publicly yet, but I'll be hiking The Wonderland Trail in July. I'm training for it now!

Tablets? Are you referring to my first aid kit? If so, this is the same first aid kit that I bring with me hiking and for multiple day backpacking trips. I always try to be prepared for worse case scenario when traveling in the backcountry.

The ankle brace is such a clutch idea. In New England with all the granite and rocky trails this is definitely going into my rucksack.

If you don't vibe with or like the content I create, no big deal. Move on. There are so many other creators here on RUclips who's content you might actually enjoy. No need to announce yourself for unsubscribing from a RUclips Channel. Super silly if you ask me.. In fact, why are you still here? I thought you "unsubscribed"? Obviously my content has made some sort of impression on you for you to still want to still be here and comment on my videos.I do appreciate the engagement you've brought to my channel though by commenting on my video. The algorithm loves that, even if you don't. :)
way way way way way to muc crap for a day hike
