for you guys but Marty and I are headed out into the Big Horn clues area so
we're gonna do a night at Pinto Lake then we're headed up the cataract Pass
we're gonna exit out Nigel pass in Jasper so gonna be a pretty wicked trip
I'm pretty stoked for it but because we're gonna be doing some camping and
some high alpine areas there's not going to be trees from my hammock we're gonna
take in the tent so uh I haven't been attending trip since last year and you
guys haven't seen my tenting gear loadout so I figured we would just do
that as we're kind of getting ready and get loaded up I'll load up my pack a
little Wanda's pack with the full weight full food and fuel and everything's he
goes a little exactly how much weed I'm carrying day one when we step out on the
trail anyways let's get into it we're gonna start at the back with Wanda's
gear Wanda's here at the very back here we'll just kind of get hers out of the
way much to roll my therm Resta sitting there but this year's all Wanda's gear
and she's gonna be carrying pretty much all of her gear the only thing I'm
carrying for her on this trip is I'm carrying her sleeping pad so Wanda's
bring in a little fleece blanket and a pack towel she's got all her meals
individually packed up for her her packs but a ruffler approach pack because she
always uses bring in a rain jacket I'm not expecting rain but I will always
bring her Range jacket and her collapsible fuzzles balls
inside her pack she's got her booties and some poop bags and that kind of
stuff another cool thing that we're bringing
from one on this trip and a new gear item for Wanda on this trip is Rocky
Mountain Dog reached out to us actually and they sent us a leash and collar for
Wanda so this is gonna be our first trip using these we are super stoked I'll
definitely put a link to Rocky Mountain Dog down below Juan just rocking the
collar so yeah we're super excited you know I'm super stoked and check this out
and see how this works out for us at the front here this is all my clothes I've
kind of got this broken down into my clothes I'm gonna be wearing and then my
clothes that are going into my pack so we'll kind of start out I'm gonna be
wearing my silver inch pants one of my just a synthetic shirt I got my Oilers
buff because marty is a big flames fan so I'm gonna be rocking Oilers all day
for him I've got my hat my dark stuff socks pair of underwear with dirty hero
gaiters and then going inside my pack in my clothes bag my spare clothes gonna be
a spare pair of socks spare pair of underwear the clothes bag my merino top
merino bottoms my merino buff and like gloves and that is my clothing system
along with my Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer watch I actually don't have
with me in the room right now but I'm gonna go and grab give me one sec and
the final piece of piece of my clothing system is my Mountain Hardwear Ghost
Whisperer into the back we've got our sleep system so I'm bringing my
inflatable pillow is from Emmie see it's just kind of a rectangular inflatable
pillow it's okay I've got my thumb rest evil light
sleeping pad for a tent I have a two-person MSR it's the the hubba hubba
NX it's one of the original and ex versions when they came up with them
from MSR I'll be carrying the poles with that separately be taking my ugq bandit
my 20 degree top quilt absolutely love it's absolutely gorgeous super warm I
cannot say enough good things about it I've done a video on that and I'll put
that up in the cards for you guys if you want to check that out but yeah but ugq
bag of top quilt for my pack I've got my Osprey EXO's 58 and on top of that this
is just my trash bag that I used as my pack liner coming down this way this
gets into my food I've got my little reflective skoozie that tucks into my
pack got my food bank for three days this here this is actually how I do my
trail snacks and I notice I've never actually really shown that for trail
snacks I get a lot of dehydrated fruit this is all fruit today dehydrated the
other day it's a bunch of two bananas two apples a bunch of strawberries I
just cut it up real thin dehydrate at all and then I throw in a ziploc freezer
bag with a bunch of wine gums and carrying a granola bar with me as well
so this is what I carry on my person for trail snacks I don't intend on eating
this entire bag of fruit in one sitting like this serves me for the entire trip
so what I'll do is every morning when I make my oatmeal I'll crush up a little
bit of the dehydrator through throwing my oatmeal I just kind of munch on that
throughout the day these are also all fruits that are dog friendly so this
also doubles as treats and snacks from Wanda throat today so yeah that's kind
of the reasoning behind that the reason I do they dehydrate fruits um I'm always
very very content to making sure that I've got dog friendly snacks so yeah
like bananas and strawberries and apples she can all have so I definitely share
these with her so I don't carry dog treats because they're really heavy this
is a lot lighter makes her happy she responds really so yeah you guys are
looking for a lightweight dog snacks dehydrated fruit works awesome continue
on with the food stuff about my two water bottles I do a one liter smart
water bottle and then a 750 milliliter smart water bottles they both kind of
have a sports cap things on them I obviously is just because these are
just the two that I've had at home and I just haven't replaced them because I'm
trying to be that guy who's using simple use plastics multiple multiple times so
this is what I've been using his water bottle all year a 1 liter in a 750 ml
with two sports caps my one liter katadyn be free water filter I
solutely love this thing and then continue on down for food I've got my
little cook pot system here I've done a video on this entire cook system I'll
link that up in the cars for you guys if you're interested check in that out and
I'm carrying this fuel can just because I didn't want to go and buy a smaller
one I got this one it's about a quarter full so I'm just trying to use it up I
don't really use my stove all that often so I'm just kind of carrying this just
in case I use my stove because I've been throwing my pot on the fire all the time
but yeah if I do decide use my soul bio fired up with this guy and I've got my
GSI mug with my GSI UL Java drip tucked inside or my coffee in the morning
getting into the rest of the stuff that is going to be inside my pack it has
been raining for like all summer here in Kolkata and luckily enough Marty and I
picked three days to go on this trip where we have what is looking to be a
very promising promising weather we know hold on hardwood floors smell kind of
wood so but I'm gonna bring a a full aerosol can of bug spray because we are
expecting a crap ton of bugs and bear spray as I always knew shit tickets my
green stuff bringing a couple zip fire starters I just cannot say enough good
things about these I'm pretty sure Marty's gonna have a couple of these too
we're not gonna have an issue getting the fire going got my toiletry kit I've
done it I've done a video on this and cool enough that video I did kind of
sparked a lot of other backpackers doing this so it's kind of been going around
as a tag and yeah so that's kind of cool but yeah that is my ultralight toiletry
kit so if you guys want to check that out I'll put a link to that down in the
description for you guys you got my headlamp my new bear hand kid I got from
Little Shop of hammocks I am super stoked I haven't got a chance to use
this thing yet I haven't even waited yet but this is a crap ton lighter than the
old one I've done and yeah I need to go and they need to do an updated lighter
pack list because my pack and definitely got lighter since I did that one and I'm
also going to be carrying a basket for my thumb rest because I'm
just absolutely terrified of that thing popping I've always carried a pack skate
when I carried a thumb rest and this here this is going to kind of double as
my DD bag but what I'm doing on this trip and I get on my last trip out when
I went out with Remy is I'm not using the brain of my pack
so anything that would have gone in the brain of my pack I'm going to throw in
here and it's going to go inside my pack and I'm just using the flap cover thing
on the Osprey packs so yeah that's that's what I'm doing with that so this
is basically simulating the bring in my pack then you see everything here is
going to go inside of that I've got my first aid kit
my Thurmond SZ seat absolutely love my little ass pad and my inReach I mean
aside from my my electronics which is basically just my little Jovie gorilla
pod I carry and I've got a mount that I actually hope you guys are aware of this
I'm actually doing all my videos now on my cell phone it's a Samsung Galaxy S 10
so I have a little adapter that I can just clip my cell phone onto the top of
my tripod and that's what I'm filming all my videos on that's what it's hooked
up on to my big tripod right now so that's why you can't really see that but
that's I'm using a film so all of that goes inside my ribs front pack the
reason I like the ribs is just because it's big enough and it makes it easy for
me to just like stick this in and out I'm making carry my trail snacks in
there and whatever I'm Carolee Maps up there if I want to yeah that's amazing
only carry her electronics um my battery bank is charging up right now I just
have a little 10,000 Aki battery bank I've got a little baggie inside here
that's got my chords in it so I just got a charging cord for my phone a charging
cord that can charge my headlamp and my inner each and any other electronics I
have about a little pair of headphones in there because I like watching my
movies at night and I don't want to disturb everybody else if anyone's camp
so that's when they carry my rinse pack and then I throw this stuff in there and
then this goes on the other side with my cellphone
one thing I will also probably bring on this trip is my silky gone boy I haven't
talked to Marty yet on whether he's bringing his song pretty sure he's going
to and I'll probably still bring this anyways just to make sure we're
definitely I have a good chance to get the fire going but yeah we are doing
some clues camping so I will definitely be bringing my silky gone boy and uh
like toque spork I'm not sure if I mentioned that when I was going for my
food stuff one trekking pole that's all I'm using now is just a one tracking
Paul I find when I'm with my dogs I just I don't need the two trekking poles like
I can walk completely hands-free with the dog but I just like having my hand
there just in case for whatever reason if I ever had to grab that leash yeah I
just and honestly half the time when I carry
two I'm holding both in one hand and just walking with two in one hand so
I've gone down to one trekking pole this year and I have zero issues with it I'm
pretty happy that is it guys and gals that is the gear that's a whiner now
you're bringing so uh like I said I'll get these things loaded up we're gonna
wait up unless you guys know how much weight we are carrying packs are loaded
up my pack fully loaded with food fuel water everything that I'm going to be
carrying when I step on the trail day 125 pounds for my three in a pack one
attack four and a half pounds right now so these guys that's our gear load o for
a three-day two-night trip from on down myself
hope you guys enjoyed this one hope you guys tag along and enjoy the trip video
coming up and you know as always guys I'm Maddy thank you guys so much for
