As a full time landscape photographer most of my year is spent living out of a backpack. From hiking into remote locations to traveling internationally ( with just 1 backpack ) I need a travel setup that is extremely versatile and efficient. After years of experimenting with different combinations I’ve found what works best ( at least for me ) and I’m here to share it with you.

I like your work. Love the fact that pretty much everything you own fits in a backpack. Nothing but quality backpacking gear, a camera, & 2 lenses. You are much wiser than 99% of modern people. I am envious of your nomadic life.
Thanks Charlie.
Thanks for the great video. I backpack with the same two lenses and a similar Gitzo tripod, they make an excellent combination. The 14-24mm is my favorite, though sometimes instead I use the 16-35mm. The VR lets me get away from using a tripod for all but Time Lapses and night photography. The sharpness is as good at f8-16 where I need for landscapes and the polarizer is simpler to attach. I'm now starting to use the 24-70mm in place of the 28-300 but if I expect to see wildlife I'd still enjoy the longer focal length. Try an Op-Tech reporter strap on your backpack straps. It helps me keep the camera at the ready while hiking without getting in the way. Tuck the lens under your sternum strap and it is secure.
Great advice. I've agree totally with the "buy the best you can afford". Just got into DSLR photography and now have to find a "spot" for it within my backpacking gear. Cheers!
Cheers Greg. It's a long, never ending, yet fun process. here is a packing video which I made a few weeks ago, it may help. ruclips.net/video/E_OZjvmksyY/видео.html
Enjoy buddy,
Dave
I think this video is the clearest video about this topic and exactly what i needed to go over. The boots, the layers, and the tripod. Awesome.
I also just found out about your channel and seems like it is my new favorite one since you have the content of all what I am interested in; the hiking/camping and night sky photography! Keep up the good work!
+Bader Kanawati thanks so much dude, really appreciate you saying that! Good thing you're into that stuff because liking anything else would be pure insanity;)
Cheers,
Dave
Thanks for going to the effort of making such a comprehensive guide, its the most useful video I have found so far!
You're welcome. Would you be interested in a gear packing guide? I was thinking about creating that next.
Super video. Really useful for people who are interested in Backpacking and photography. Thanks again :)
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it:)
Hi Dave, excellent video, and pretty much that's all I want to say. As a moderately experienced photographer and a very experienced back-packer (or tramper here in New Zealand) I support your gear choices 100%, and agree it is best to get top of the line right from the get-go, it's all about safety after all. I would only add a small $2 whistle. Just found your channel, now subscribed :)
+Rob Caven right on! Awesome to hear & thanks for the input. Good call on the whistle. I had one and it fell off, thx for the reminder:)
Thank you so much for going in depth with your equipment and gear. It's difficult to find what's inside of other people's camera backpacking backpack that also includes clothing. Hope you had an awesome New Years :)
You're welcome, really glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the nice comment & happy new year to you as well:)
great backpacking / camping tips for gear. easy to understand (even for a beginner for me)
Awesome!
Fantastic rundown. Thanks, Dave!
+Christopher DeAntonio Glad you liked it:) You're welcome!
Thanks for putting this together. Hope you enjoyed the Boge.
+Barefoot Jake You're welcome Jake. Have a good one
The trusty Mountain Hardware mesh sack!
+Uriah Graves haha. It's theeeee best!
Are you still doing videos? Me and others found them super useful.
Hi Jeremy, I've been spending more time traveling and taking photos lately. I'll have some new videos out in the early part of 2017:) Cheers
Waterproof matches have failed me in the past. Now I just carry a flint and steel along with an old Rx bottle filled with cotton balls I've coated with petroleum jelly. They make great fire-starters and have never failed me.
I appreciate your videos. I can tell you are a no nonsense kind of guy. Honestly so many videos I watch show all this gear and I know for a fact there is no way there are taking all that crap into the woods on their back. If they are they certainly arent going very far. Seeing you only take 2 lenses is awesome. Some guys taking 7 lenses with. Come on man! I take 3 myself. I do day trips with an Osprey Stratos 36. I have an Aether 70 for multiday trips. I cant carry anymore than what I can fit in that without a doubt. I have a mephoto roadtrip and its cool but to heavy. Im getting the carbon fiber. There you go I should have bought that out of the gate. I was wondering if you know your total pack weight. I didnt hear you mention it but I cant take more than 35 lbs. Love your vids man!!
Thanks! It depends on the style of backpacking with what you can pack. I can't put in 30 mile days and 150 mile trips with a bunch of extra crap, so I cut everything possible. Pack weights, I have no clue. Never weighed it. Depends on season and trip length.
Hi Dave, cool video. You got a new subscriber!
I haven't looked at your portfolio just yet but was surprised that, a part from the polariser, you didn't mention any ND filters nor a remote shutter or rain cover for your camera?
With regards to your camping gear I've got a couple of tips that you might find helpful to check out:
- Your katadyn filter works great but it is bulky. I went with Sawyer mini-filters lately cause they're as big as a marker, do not require pumping, cost nothing (in fact I got a couple of spare ones in my car etc, just in case) and screw right on top of a PET bottle. I use them often in combination with a Platypus water bag which can be packed away tiny, so I can use my Nalgene with clean water and if required, use the Platypus for dirty water. In fact, I live high in the Alps but wouldn't drink from a glacier cause, although it looks super clean, it can contain all kind of stuff really.
- You didn't mention a (head)torch but I'm sure you use it. Besides of that, I use it in combination with little glow-in-the-dark key rings in different colours that can be attached to anything and glow for 10 years guaranteed.. So at night, I can easily find my torch, knife, first aid kit, etc.
- I'm not sure what kind of hiking you do but I carry a small emergency kit on my body. A little watertight box with some essentials to keep me alive (pocket knife, candle, fire steel, whistle, mirror, rope, etc.). Just in case I get in a f*cked up situation and lost my bag.
- Last thing I can think of for now: gaitors. You'll look like a 70's alpinist (especially if you wear shorts in combination with them) but they keep your trousers and shoes dry (prevent snow running into them from the top too), protect against plants with thorns (don't want to rip up those sweet Arcteryx goretex...!), etc.
- Oh, and btw, treat your boots with some snoseal from time to time. Keeps the leather/goretex in better shape and makes it greatly water repellent without killing breathabillity.
Hope this helps. Thnx for the video!
+MrSjeupie Cheers, glad to hear it:)
Thanks for the tips!
Great video. Really interesting info. Many thanks.
+Mark Hunter thanks Mark. Cheers!
Great information Dave much appreciated!
Thanks Henry! :)
Excellent video. Constantly looking for better ideas. Found some new ideas here! (Same opinion of the Nikon 28-300)
+roundtable25 cheers. Thanks. Yes I feel the exact same way:)
Awesome video!
I feel like I can go backpacking for more than one day now😁
Great video, really informative and easy to follow, looking forwards to going through the rest of them now!=)
Perfect day to discover your channel with the bipolar summer weather here in Norway with rain/sun/rain/sun all day =P
Cheers, Enjoy buddy:) Norway is a beautiful place to live!
This was really helpful, I was wondering if you used solar panels or something like that to keep stuff charged?
i ve seen a lot, really a lot of these videos. so far this was the best most informative one thanks!
Awesome. Love to hear it. Cheers:)
Great video, thanks for sharing!
I am a little more ultra-light and a little less photo oriented, but our gear is very similar. I switched to a mirrorless camera and use a tent pole tripod that I stake out with guy lines in wind or rough terrain. It can be cumbersome to set up, but I now have my camera gear down to 3 pounds. Any tips on keeping batteries warm? I use the ol' armpit trick but I'd love to hear what you do.
Best video on back packing. Thank you.
Awesome to hear! Cheers
Very Helpful. Thanks a lot, and very precise information.
You're welcome
lol I was backpacking in europe this summer and would just sleep on the ground on my jacket sometimes XD It was freaky when a pack of stray dogs ran by one time by tho...
Haha I have the same two tripods and lately I have been using the smaller one a lot more.
No kidding! The big one is too big.
great video, dave!
Thanks:)
Brilliant video, thank you
Great video Dave. This motivated me to give this a try. In your equipment list, you use your sleeping bag to fill space without a stuff sack. How do you keep your sleeping bag dry if it rains?
Thanks:) Rain cover for backpack. Sometimes still get's wet if rain is constant for days... then again everything does at that point.
Thanks for this video. Question how true to size due the boots run? What is your size and what size did you buy? Thanks
I have a small bridge camera and a small tripod.... any backpack recommendations? I usually only embark on 2-4 day hikes .
Great video! Doing a 5 day pack and needed some advice on what to bring etc. would be awesome if you can show you pack you're pack with camera gear!!
Thanks. I don't show that step because learning to do it effectively will require your own thoughts and creation of a well working process. Have fun out there. There isn't a right or a wrong way. Experiment / Test / Simplify.
awesome vid love your channel. what lowepro bag broke on you and how long did it last?
+six stringer thanks buddy! It lasted for 3 years. Not bad considering I beat my gear to death:)
Thanks for so much information.
+Niven A. Nolte Sure no prob, you're most welcome:) Have a good one!
Great video. Very helpful as I am assembling my gear now. I am going to spend some time on your other videos as well. I am getting ready for a 3 month national park trek around the western half of the US. I am trying to figure out how many miles can I cover in a day on trails. I plan to take my photo gear and tripod and I can see myself going at a snails pace if I take all the photos I want to take. Maybe this is covered in your channel elsewhere but how much hiking do you get in vs spending time composing and taking photos?
Thanks:) That's one of the toughest balances that there is. I usually hike 10-15 miles a day with most trips ranging from 2 nights to 10 nights. I never use set schedule or plan on certain camps ( can do this in non-park wilderness areas ). If I really enjoy an area I'll set up a basecamp and do day hikes and shooting from that location for a few days.
It's all really random depending on my mood for hiking vs shooting that day. I use a large amount of time looking at topo maps while out and while at home planning to get better ideas for nice areas to explore.
Of trail / wilderness areas are where I spend more and more of my time. There is so much red tape & tourism associated with national parks that I generally don't visit them unless it's a very remote park that no one visits thus less regulation and red tape.
3 months is a huge trip. Let me know how you enjoy the physical and mental aspects of that game. It's much harder than many would assume, although very rewarding.
Enjoy!
Great work! Thanks
+Javier Leon sure anytime!
Great video! Risky to use anything with DEET as it will eat through the adhesives in the grips of your camera
+Chris Snyder Thanks. Never had any problem with that with my D800 which is 5 years old at this point.
Dave, great video, I am glad you went through everything you take with you, couple questions, what kind of "bug goo" do you have, (I am also a landscape photographer in WA and mosquitoes LOVE me). Also when hiking alone do you carry any protection with you for mountain lions or bears? And the audio in your videos is good, what do you use for recording audio?
+Charlie Duncan Photography Couldn't tell you, whatever they had at some random store in the middle of nowhere when I bought it last. Bear spray. Good Question because I didn't cover that in the video. amzn.to/1k1Nm1f
These do really well --> amzn.to/1k1NaPz that's what this video was recorded with. Another more versatile option which I also carry for DSLR and go pro is the following. You'll have to sync audio tho. amzn.to/1k1Ni1q + amzn.to/1O84noy.
Hi Dave
Just found ur tutorials on RUclips
Great work. I really enjoy what u r doing there.
Just a quick question, I'm sure there will b many more, do u get ur Dueter bag as a check-in or hand luggage on the flights?
Cool! depends on the trip, season, airline and boarding class.... always carry camera ICU and tripod on plane... things I can't replace easily if lost.
Excellent advice Dave! I really appreciate you making this video. Do you mind me asking, which you'd recommend either the 60 or 70L Deuter, I'm looking at buying the F-stop ICU that you have and maybe 1-3 day trips mostly. And do you know the difference between the Deuter aircontact and the aircontact pro? The pro version seems to cost twice as much. Thanks Dave, keep the vids coming
+Joseph Brotherton Cheers! I'm not sure on the difference between bags but a 70L is recommended with camera gear. I pack very minimally and still end up using the entire 70L even on summer trips with the 15L extension used for winter. You'll be good to go for 1-3 days and even longer with that bag.
Hi Dave, thanks for the advice mate, I appreciate you taking the time to write this guide, I have found it really helpful for getting my gear together for hiking and photo trips. Cheers
+Joseph Brotherton anytime. Enjoy:)
Great video and looks like nice gear. One thing I have to say though is even biodegradable soap isn't 100% biodegradable and can do harm to the animals and plants that rely on the streams or rivers. I stopped using soap completely when in the backcountry, I just rinse myself off in the water and rinse all the sweat out of my clothes as well. The least amount of products that get into water the better. Even products on your skin like bug repellent can do harm to the environment if they get into water sources.
I completely agree with you on the soap. I've recently been trimming down pack weight even more and ditched the soap. since many people that are new to backpacking may not know that biodegradable soap even exists I wanted to include it on the list. this way if someone just has to use soap at least it will be mostly biodegradable:) much appreciated on the input!
+Dave Morrow yeah I've been doing the same. you can only go so light being into photography, haha.
+Dave Morrow What's your opinion on going mirrorless or even to a micro 4/3 system to save weight? I'm not a pro by any means, simply an enthusiast but I love getting the best IQ I can and have been thinking of switching to a Fuji X-T1 setup or maybe even a Olympus setup as I haven't invested in a system yet.
+Alex Guerra No clue I never look into cutting edge stuff...I guess D810 is cutting edge but it's not a new trend. I like the DSLR because it's tuff. Plastic cameras scare me:)
Cool video. The camera set does throw out the idea of "ultra light backpacking". It seems like it is about 10lbs for the total camera gear weight plus that massive bag which you would need but is 6 or 7lbs. It is a big trade off to take those photos, but then you seem to backpack to take photos, where as most backpackers then hiking/backpacking is the main goal and any photography is a bonus. Do you keep your miles per day reasonable low, or do you manage a 10+ mile per day in spite of a heavier pack? Though I did check out some of your photos and they are just stunning. Great work
+Loathomar thanks! Right, I love photography but it's also what I do full time, so 10 extra pounds on the pack for much higher quality images is a no brainer. I also like to keep in mind that the old school photographers not to mention indian cultures used to carry 100 pound packs for weeks on end with no problem.
Although I do find ultra light backpacking to be interesting, it's also quite a new concept due to the advances in material science. Everything was working just fine before it came around, the work output was just much higher for the same final results. That being said when I can buy ultra light gear I tend to do so if it won't sacrifice quality in another aspect of my gear setup.
Lots of squats, running, and plyometrics allow you to easily carry a 50 - 60 pound bag for a week long trip or more. Usually in the summer my pack is 30-40 pounds, and winter maxing around 60. We usually average 12-18 miles a day on our trips. Of course there are those 5-8K foot elevation gain days where 8 miles is a fantastic output!
Now if I was going to do the Pacific Crest I'd consider the ultralight setup. Most of my trips are 3-8 days.
Cheers & Glad You Enjoyed the Pics:)
Dave
+Dave Morrow Ultralight backpacking isn't a new concept. Just as there was indigenous people who lugged around a lot of weight, so was there indigenous people (and travelers in general) who lived very minimally after learning what we are now just realizing. Maybe they weren't as light due to our own advances in technology that have enabled us to take it further, but the concept has always been there. "Old school" or "the way it used to be done" is not always synonymous with good.
+David N I would say that ultralight backpacking as a word is a new concept ( meaning last 50 years or so ), but the actual actions of traveling minimally are by no means a new concept. That being said I 100% agree with you that nostalgia for the old days doesn't mean they were better by any means. Given that many of the old cultures survived outside ( compared to houses and central air of today )for 10-15 thousand years or more I'd also guess they were a bit more advanced than us in terms of outdoor travel methods..but as happens when any new empire moves into a land and takes over much of that tribal knowledge, gained by the previous culture, is destroyed. Good is what you make it in your head, this channel just displays my thoughts and ideas on life;)
In regards to the "old school" concepts being "good", check out the book Rational Optimist, I think you'd enjoy it!
Cheers,
Dave
Great video! Thank you for sharing everything you take with you, I wanted to ask how many miles you can walk in a hard day of hiking? It seems that it could be a heavy backpack. Thanks!
+makabird Thanks. Hard to define a hard day given elevation and climate. 15-20 miles is a hard day in forest regions without much elevation gain, and 10-15 in alpine, high elevation gain areas.
Great video. What ball head do you use on your tripod?
RRS BH-30 more here -- www.davemorrowphotography.com/p/whats-in-dave-morrows-camera-bag.html
Great video, just found your channel. Subbed.
Thanks! New backpacking guide coming out soon.
So you drink a lot of coffe? haha I see :P
haha! Couldn't survive without it:)
Hey! What is the total weight of your gear and bag?
30-70lb depend on trip length and season
Awesome :)
Glad you enjoyed it. I'll have an updated one coming out in a few months.
@@DaveMorrow Totally looking forward to that, in the mean time im going to binge watch your other films :)
@@gumbysenduro6546 that's great. Enjoy. It's all organized much better on my website. There are a bunch of written guides too: www.davemorrowphotography.com/2013/01/tutorials-photography-post-processing.html
How or do you charge camera batteries on the trail?
I don't.. just take enough for the trip.
what does your pack weigh?
Between 35-70 trip dependent. Pack alone is 3 lbs.
With all due respect, you may want to reconsider washing in rivers with soap (and DEET?) as these are drinking water sources and backpacking water treatment options are not going to remove that stuff.. it's more work but I bring a collapsible bucket to grab water and always do that stuff away from all water sources. Biodegradable soap is good if you're dumping onto ground (a hole is best) but still pollutes water sources. It'll even state all this on the soap bottle. The surfactants can harm invertebrates, some add phosphates, and can even reduce the water's ability to diffuse oxygen by changing surface tension. I appreciate all the photo tips as I'm a subscriber but please read up on this water quality stuff. A lot of people read "biodegradable" and think that means throwing soap into natural water sources is perfectly fine..
Hi Jon. I appreciate the fact that you actually say something. Most people won't. I hang a huge bladder from a tree in the woods to wash off after hiking and don't use any soap, anymore. You'll see my linked guide is updated. Also deet, rare that I ever use it. Bad for skin and everything else. That being said, after washing off I'm always in the rivers, cold feels so good after a long day on the trail.
Dave Morrow Right on, Dave! I felt I should speak up since you have such a big following. Leave No Trace principles are important on many levels and I'm sure lots of people look to you as you have cultivated a nice landscape photography community here on RUclips. Recently discovered you a couple days ago and have been eating up your instructionals. Great stuff. Btw, have you ever tried Aquamira for water filtration? Most lightweight and fail proof way to treat water. Would save you a bunch of weight and real estate in your setup. Sawyers are cool too as is the Lifestraw Go bottle. Everything with its pros and cons. And a basic thin water bottle is much lighter than a Nalgene ✌️
Me trying to find out which 13 videos Dave deleted the last days :D I am looking for new videos every week and now its only 43 instead of the 56.
haha! Cleaning outdated videos... preparing for a new project:)
@@DaveMorrow Great! Cool to hear from you! Excited what your next project will be. Best wishes from Germany
