    First time watcher. You guys seem really genuine about what you use and what’s actually practical. I definitely want to do more backpacking adventures and it’s just nice to hear, “Yeah we got this off brand…” or “We bought this off Amazon.” Some times this space in relation to gear can be intimidating. Feeling under prepared because you don’t have the latest greatest stuff.

    • @codyandvictoria
      @codyandvictoria  7 месяцев назад +4

      Hey! Glad you’re enjoying the videos. There definitely can be a little bit of elitist mentality when it comes to gear. We tend to take the side of “if it works it works”. Don’t let the gear keep you from getting out there 🥰

  • @SidneyRay97
    @SidneyRay97 10 месяцев назад +43

    I'd recommend a pair of nitrile gloves for the first aid kit, this way it can remain somewhat cleaner if you are putting pressure on a wound, and at least 4 tbsp of hydrogen peroxide. God forbid your dog ingests a toxic mushroom or something by accident you will need to induce vomiting sooner rather than later to ensure their survival. (I'd ask you vet for advice on it for your dog specifically) its not that heavy and can and will save your dogs life.

    • @bholdr----0
      @bholdr----0 6 месяцев назад +2

      Oh! Hydrogen Peroxide is a great idea. In keeping with my maxim that everything carried should have multiple uses, in addition to inducing vomiting for a dog and first aid, HP is good for dental care (rinse/gargle with a capful), is a decent cleaner, organic, and environmentally permissable!
      Cheers! (I'm going to put a bit in my kit right now! For the weight and volume, it seems like an excellent choice.)

    • @Villain_Actual

      Make sure they’re tan/white gloves not black! It’s hard to see blood bile and other fluids on black gloves

  • @ItsPTson

    I understand your reasoning for no bandaids or ointment I guess….but nasty scrapes or deep cuts are not joke when they get infected. Alcohol wipes, ointment, and bandaids/gauze should be a must.

    For your aid kit, I'd throw in a CAT tourniquet (and get trained on it). Pretty compact/light and bleeding out is one of the most common preventable deaths. Awesome content, and thanks for the video. ✌️

    • @Somegoy
      @Somegoy 4 месяца назад

      I second this comment with 100% I have 2 in my bag, 2 is 1 and 1 is none with tourniquets. First rule if bleeding doesn't stop with one is immediately apply a second one. Just a rule of thumb from someone who spent years around chainsaws.

    Great video! We’ve used the Big Agnes ultralight Flycreek tent for many years and it’s never torn! We love their insulated sleeping pads too.
    I keep Benadryl in my first aid kit because we’ve backpacked a lot with our kids and I have always been worried about bee stings or something crazy like that. Never used it, of course. Also, the tape is literally the best thing! Repair tears, make bandages. One time we tore the sleeves off our t-shirts to tape up dog socks for our poor dog’s feet. We also brought painkiller for our dog for longer trips, just in case. Happy hiking 🥾

    22:03 any synthetic clothes will hold the smell very good in couple of hours. The only way to keep the smell off away is using ONLY WOOL tops and wool socks , the organic materials are the best. Yes ,they are expensive but there is a reason for that , what you pay is what you get ❤️

    Nice first aid kit, very similar to the one I've created for myself, with items for emergencies other than injuries. One reccomendation is to only carry one filter, and instead pack your first aid kit with water purification tablets. They weigh almost nothing and purify water in a pinch better than a filter.

    For the bear can, I use the bare boxer which is smaller but rated the same and much easier to fit in a 38L pack. It's 1.6lbs, Diameter: 7.6in Length: 8in. I use a older model 36L Osprey Stratos and the bare boxer will fit inside the pack and under the brain.

    A quick note on water. Surviving 3 days without water is a bit misleading. It’s often used as a guide, but in reality, after 24 hrs, you’ll be in a world of hurt. Another 24 hrs and you’ll be useless sitting under a shade tree unable to function and waiting to die on your 3rd day. That’s been my training and experience after attending a few intense survival schools. Love your vids!

    In regards to the cotton ball/petroleum jelly firestarter, fluff out the cotton ball first, it'll catch better. Might not be a big deal if you are using a lighter, but if using a ferro rod or spent lighter (sparks only), it'll make a huge difference.

    I just didn't want to be that guy, like, "Hey, you should really get lighter stuff and get this, this, this instead", lol.
    Glad that you guys did! Weight is everything, in my humble opinion. Just makes the hike so much more enjoyable.

      Yeah you know we've always tried not to care about the gear at all because it shouldn't be the reason someone doesn't go out. But now that we're climbing and what not it makes sense to pack a bit lighter. I just always remember the total badasses from the past who did these trips with HUGE bags and shitty gear and it keeps me humbled when I start thinking my gear is heavy haha

      gortex rain jacket and waterproof/resistant shoes. Definitely a rain cover (or heavy duty trash bag) for your backpack. Extra pair of pants in case they get soaked. Make sure your tent is waterproofed and sealed too. If it’s been a long time it may need to be re-waterproofed

    I agree with leaving this list, and the ten essentials, and more...
    Question: I'm a big fan of carrying multiple-use items... What do YOU carry that is kinda unconventional?
    Here are some examples of what I like to have to hand while backpacking:
    -Plenty of tape. Lots of tape... Duck and electrical, kept wound around a trekking pole, a lighter, a pack strap, etc; useful for... everything, from repairs to first aid, as firestarter, even cordage.
    -A decent size candle, for light, and the wax for waterproofing seams or paper (maps), boots, etc, for lubrication, fire starter, adhesive...
    -151+ proof rum (or everclear- a small (airline) bottle) for fire, sterilization, as a solvent and for cleaning... drinking?
    -Sandpaper (card-size pieces in 80, 220, and 600 grit wet/dry: great for sharpening, smoothing, making tinder, personal grooming, etc)
    -Nitrile gloves and a condom (unlubricated, for use as a container, and for waterproofing/covering/sealing things, as PPE for poisons, plants, chemicals, blood, etc (and, well, you never know... better to have one and not need it, than need one and not have it!)
    -Fishing line (12+lb test) as cordage, as thread for sewing, even for sutures; and it's meltable as an adhesive/seal, etc
    All of the foregoing and more will fit in an altoids tin. (those aren't nearly all that I carry, just some of my favorites)... What are some of yours?
    -Aaand... a pair of wooden chopsticks. (think about it! So useful!)

    If you are trying to save a couple ozs I'd find a way to ditch some of those sacks. I keep my clothes and sleeping bag in a sea to summit evack sack. I use my stuff sack as a pillow. The only stuff sack I keep is for the tent poles. Everything else gets rolled up and shoved in my pack. Also alpine starts are pretty good for your coffee needs. Platypus makes a nice 1 liter water sack. Stores nicely when empty in your climbing pack. Looking forward to seeing your alpine adventures.

    Great video but grind the coffee at home and add some spare paracord to rhe emergency kit! Great tip on the insulated mugs with lids to rehydrate dinner!

    Ah, love this so much. It's helping me really figure out what I need for my first overnight. You also get a ton of comments and answer almost all of them. Well done! Mine is simple. Do you happen to know where you got the small tin at 14:32 that holds your cotton balls for fire starters? Much thanks and subscribed!

      It came from a company called VSSL. 🙃

    You have put a great deal of thought into your kit. Some thoughts -
    Certain that you have rain gear. How about satellite comm? If not, you should get something - several comm options now available.
    I don't know your power demands, but the battery bank looks quite heavy. I had been a strong proponent of larger battery banks but I just got off of 9 days on the JMT using a 10 W (more like 5W) solar panel (3 oz) and 5000 mAh bank (3 oz) - which actually worked very well to keep my camera battery, watch, headlamp & InReach fully charged. I ended the trip with nearly a fully charged bank - and just 6 oz !
    I also do not carry bandaids, but I do use a small amount of leukotape with some gauze pads and a small amount of Neosporin (all for less than 2 oz) - primarily to prevent cuts from getting infected and to cover hot spots on my feet.
    Not sure how well the Platypus works to catch dirty water - seems like it would be difficult. A CNOC bag should work much better.
    I recommend a polycro ground sheet for the tent - to keep the tent much cleaner so dirt does not get all over the tent when you have to pack it up wet.
    Keep HIKING !
