Enjoyed watching your set-up for this cooler, at times trail. Will be following on IG, YT, and your blog. Thanks for letting us vicarious hikers come along HAPPY WALKING
Safe watercrossing! That was a very nice presentation. Well done. Seems like you have everything under control. Happy travel and thanks for sharing. Greetings from Sweden.
Nice gear video. The similarity of our gear list is kinda funny. Right down to the men's version of the shoes and shorts. I'm envious of the sun shirt. None of mine has the zipper and it drives me to distraction. Will look into the Montbell. Thanks for the tip. Good luck.
What I did on my through hike of the HRP (Haute Randonnée Pyrenées), was taking pictures of the maps with my camera as a backup for navigation, didn't need it tough :)
I hear you about low key wishing you got a 40 liter. I have a 35 L and on long sections things get a wee bit overstuffed but I make it work. All the other times though it's great and I agree that it helps me keep things minimal too.
You hikiking the whole CDT? Youre Lucky! Wish you all good luck! Me and my wife is heading for a trip small "thruhike" across Norway too, Im like a kid. I have good experience with snow since we are from Norway, I would problaby recomend big gaiters (not dirty girl) instead of lightweight pants, if it is really a problem.
Thank you, gaiters probably would've been helpful! The pants ended up helping me out getting fewer scrapes and bruises when going through a crazy blowdown section though, so I'm glad I brought them!
I still love it, but the padding in the shoulder straps unfortunately wore pretty thin. I got the zpacks shoulder strap pads to help, but it's a little annoying. Currently thinking about getting a beefier pack that will put less weight on my shoulders.
I love all the colors! How do the toothpaste tabs work? Also I loooove the hoodie you are wearing, definitely going to check that out. Have so much fun hiking!
Looks like a great kit there, thanks for sharing. The pack looks similar to the Waymark 38L EVLV I just got from Garage Grown Gear. Haven't taken it out yet but feels good. Wondering if an Ursak would be a good idea in griz country rather than hanging, will there always be trees with good height and branches? All the best, have a great adventure!
@@tessmullaney Ok sure, yeah hanging food usually works, although I had a blackbear chew the branch until it broke then got my food...smart bear!😁 You will probably have no problems though. Hope you're having a great trip so far, look forward to your future videos.
People have also had bears chew through their bear canisters so I guess it’s all irrelevant. Just choose what you like best and hope for the best. All you can do is TRY to keep the bears from your food but the only want to guarantee it is to not bring food. 🤷🏽♀️
to be clear, I'm more likely to send my tent home than my bug net....thats an always always. Also with regards to the worlds worst fear packing object - the in reach - I don't do it but I wonder if tracking alone was good enough....would one of those things you clip on to a dog collar work to track someone in the mountains. I may try it next month in the sierras. Any thoughts from the interweb?
@@tessmullaney thank you! I didn’t see the gear list on your description after I was done watching the video. I ordered one , just got it on Friday. Thank you
@@filipcullin2132 ice axe loop if you'll ever use an ice axe, loved the shoulder strap pockets. I wish I'd added the secret inside mesh pocket and the double adjustment to the hipbelt.
Cool setup. Look forward to see how you get on and reaction to how the gear works out. Good luck with the CDT, take care. Thanks for uploading, Tess. ⛰🇺🇸👍
If I want comfort, ready to use product, safety and a good night's sleep, I can carry 5 kg. more (what's the point of hiking if you can't sleep well and feel more tired the next day) Super light tents it's a circus in the forest 😀 Good luck in cold, windy and buggy conditions and have a cool hike 🏕️
@@tessmullaney I actually really liked the chimes and birds, oddly immersive. Thanks for the rundown on the movement, I'm debating which swd pack to buy.

HAPPY WALKING
I too am looking forward to your cdt videos, give the people what they want lotus !

Hey Tess! Hope your hike went well and am looking forward to seeing footage from it!
You have loud wind chimes! Haha nice gear review
Time for adventure! I'll be watching along and sending all the vibes!
Appreciate it Joel!

Ah that's so funny! Yes, the Montbell hoodie is the number one in my opinion.
I keep hoping for more videos from you. I think you're wonderful.
That's so kind, thank you. I've been working full-time, but just filmed something and hoping to get it out next month, be on the lookout!
Im glad to have found a CDT SOBO Hiker !! Enjoy !!

Safe water crossings! I love that you're going SOBO so I will be following along.
Thanks so much!
Great gear loadout !!!! Thanks for sharing (new sub and friend here)

Yes, I think it's ultimately good, it just would be a lot more comfortable with a 40L on those long stretches haha.

Are you happy with your pack? I am considering getting the 40L version. Nice video, thanks!

Enjoy your journey :)

The hoodie is the best! You just chomp on a tab, maybe with a little water in your mouth and it forms into a paste! I've really been loving them.

I hear a lot of people go the ursack route! I've known people who've had them fail though so I'm more wary.

What’s that base layer you are wearing? Is it unisex?
The sun hoodie? Montbell cool hoodie men's
@@tessmullaney thank you! I didn’t see the gear list on your description after I was done watching the video. I ordered one , just got it on Friday. Thank you
How is the pack?
35 L is all good?
The pack was amazing, held up so well and so comfy. There were a few time I wish I'd gone for the 40L, but I made the 35 work and was happy with it.
@@tessmullaney I just ordered the 35 L 🙈
@@filipcullin2132 hooray! You're gonna love it!
@@tessmullaney Any of your custom options you would recommend?

Won’t be able to take that knife on the plane.
Total cost of the list = about $3320+. 😯🤔
Lol cheaper than 6 months of rent.
I’m so sorry, you are very sympathetic but the wind game noice is so loud I had to end the video.
Lol I don't blame you, definitely knew this video wouldn't be perfect.
