Chris and I we are on our way to
Yosemite National Park tomorrow and this
is our first time mm-hmm we're very
excited and it literally took me two
weeks to pack but it took me a long time
to figure out what to pack because of
the weather yeah so the weather it's
gonna be if we're going to first week of
September so from September 2nd through
the 9th and the weather it's going to be
9 plus and 90 degrees during the day and
then it drops down 50 degrees in the
morning and at night so it's like you
have to pack two different ways and
layer and then we're also going to areas
where might have water from the
waterfalls have to pack like a raincoat
a lot involved more than any of our
other trips right we've ever done so I
even thinking about hiking water shoes
yeah shoes so yeah this is why it took a
long time to figure out what to pack and
how to pack properly or dress properly
for this trip with the fluctuating
temperatures we're going to show you
what or packing for Yosemite in
September yes I'm going to go first and
we kind of fact pretty pretty similar
but for me I'm actually just taking on a
carry-on and this is also another sorry
we have a lot of ruckus going on me I
have a puppy around Zoey she's very cute
but she's getting antsy because we're
not giving her attention yeah okay
here's some puppies those are some
grunting it's not a man and it's
actually a puppy yeah it's a big puppy
yeah I
and taking a carry-on and that's why it
also took me a little bit to figure out
what I'm gonna pack the first thing I
always whenever I travel anywhere the
clothes I'm wearing right now but the
clothes I'm traveling in and the clothes
I come back and when I travel are the
same they don't usually doesn't get
dirty so and I feel like you're just
traveling anyway so why do you need to
wear two different outfits so that helps
save room in my luggage another thing I
do is I wear my coats so that doesn't
take up space in my luggage so I'll be
wearing and then I'm actually wearing
this like soft sweater blazer blazer so
this is like good for the night time
when we're hiking but you know when
we're eating out and stuff you want like
a nice warm sweater or something since
it'll be cold so I'm gonna wear this on
my flight and I also need like a damn
cook so it is gonna be cold so I don't
want to be wearing two coats so what I
have is this really cool jacket in here
but it's also a neck pillow so the
supply is very short I don't really need
my other neck code that I always use
this is kind of like I'm really not
gonna use it to sleep but it's fooling
the fire engines like I'm carrying a
neck pillow but it's actually my down
coat in here so this is what I will be
wearing when I'm hiking and then you
know once it starts getting warm I'll
stuff this in my backpack and it's super
lightweight same with the Hat
we're going to be wearing it's good to
you know wear a hat especially um you
know I don't I don't really like wearing
sunglasses when we're hiking no it's I
think it's much better to wear a cap
because I think the sunglasses they kind
of slide down your face or pop without
context to your own the type sunrays and
you know we'll all be in some windy
areas so I think for if you're worried
about you know bugs or ticks
you know if you have a hat on that's a
good idea
because you can spot them better if
you're wearing a hat you know what give
me your hair yeah so I
this is outfit I'm wearing on and I'll
put it down here yeah well it's just
like what black leggings and a teacher
yeah it's just a shirt and black really
black
ja ja there's black joggers really kind
obviously yeah basically wearing the
same thing just black leggings and a
black t-shirt and a jean jacket and I'll
be wearing that same as candy yes I will
they so I made my pot leggings because
leggings they're lightweight they also
great like if you get them wet or you're
sweating they dry quickly and that's one
thing too is that we're not gonna have
any you know washer dryer so we need
something that if you do get wet or for
sweating like supposed to be in the
nineties we want something that dries
fast so I you know I have my leggings
here and then of course I brought also
bring them shirts that are also quick
dry and actually I'm gonna bring you
know a lot of basic colors I think a lot
of black and white yeah and this one
actually is from organic basics I never
purchased from them but I found out that
they this is a quick dry type and also
it's good for odor so it's got that
what's that ecology in topology and
technology which so if even if I am
sweating a lot it should be pretty good
at like masking out the odor and stuff
though and it's quick dry so I might be
wearing this for two days in a row if
you know if I feel like it and this is
also for layering like a light top
almost like a coat but it's like a mesh
so this is one of the lists I'll
probably wear like leggings a shirt a
light coat and then like a coat so then
now I'm gonna be like you know taking
all these off as the day goes on and
then putting it back on
it starts cooling down again so then I
was looking at hiking shoes and we're
not avid hikers I don't like those like
really big bulky like hiking shoes like
high-top so I'm like well we're not
gonna do serious I can try I was
thinking about bringing it but I was
like do I really need hiking shoes for
there's another problem too though is
that they're so bulky to pack up a lot
of room babe yeah they have so much room
so much I really want to bring that they
actually have their own other line of
kinda like hiking sneakers and it's like
the treks line I think that this is
that's so we found that right perfect
exactly what we need is I get between a
sneaker and a hardcore hikers yeah and
between not flip and help you with these
slippery hikes like miss chow
yes oh gosh she got a different version
and I got a white one but yeah you can
totally tell like that it's gonna have a
good grip a couple of different things I
am packing as this scarf which really
came in handy and bam because I you know
could use it well I'm traveling first of
all because I can use it as a blanket
and because planes are always so cold
for whatever reason and then you know in
the mornings and baths I was just wear
this like this alright it's my better
than nothing isn't the correct way but
there's so many ways you can style these
scarves to so you could you know wear
the scarf or you can like wear it as
what do you call it put it a shot you
can wear as a shawl but yeah it was very
very versatile and I worked out great
and I doesn't take up by too much room I
guess you just carry this with you on
the plane you know I miss trails
I got a raincoat it's very lightweight
you can add the hoodies actually get in
here and this is gonna be in my backpack
for hiking and once we get up there and
the mist is really powerful I'm gonna
show this on and yes I got the fall on
Amazon actually like shaped like 30
bucks yeah that's called the ascender
jacket but it's made for hiking and then
I manually always take this with us
everywhere and this is our favorite
phone accessory because we know we're
always taking photos and shooting videos
so it's just wrapped around us at all
times and you know it won't accidentally
drop it while we're taking photos and
it's also carries your cards in the back
they have a lot of different styles and
then it's not just for iPhones and make
them for Samsung to these to only sell
or make cases for iPhones but now they
sell for other phone brands too and you
can change that if you don't like this
strap you can go on on their site and
buy a different strap so you can have
like one case but then like just change
out the straps for like you know if you
want different color you want to change
it up so we really really like bandolier
and we I don't know if you stick it with
us everywhere so every three years
yeah it's definitely an essential for us
now hopefully we packed properly and we
don't forget anything but we will
actually check back in and my
now if everything worked out and if
there was something that we wish we'd
have brought so or if everything was
perfect yeah
[Music]
we're at the end of our trip and we
thought it'd be a good idea to kind of
let you know well while we're on this
chip like oh yeah we should have brought
that or man we really didn't need to
bring that yeah we didn't need a strip
or puffer jackets we didn't even wear
this once not once yeah I mean it was a
lot warmer than we thought because when
we look at the average temperature for
Yosemite during's - yeah first week of
September
even we checked you know the weather
forecasts they would say 50 was the loss
of it go that's pretty cold that's for
us the coldest it got was 60 degrees
yeah
so we would wore a light jacket like
this and I wore like this cardigan this
was like the most that we need that's
all we need it and only for a couple of
hours in the morning and then at night
we would wear it - I would say usually
around 8 o'clock 8 p.m. when we started
eating are like jackets so that was it
that was the coldest it got another
thing that I brought that I was like oh
I didn't really need bring this was my
Rico yeah because we read a lot of other
posts where we did miss the trail and a
lot of the waterfalls and this really
gets you wet so we're like oh we don't
wanna get our clothes wet but I guess
this time of year by now the water is
kind of dried up here though the mists
really isn't that strong I wore this
once just to wear it when I was kind of
chilly in the morning when I didn't have
this but that was it like I really did
not need this alright so getting to
things we wish we would have brought
spear number one like lamb yeah because
we did this to test point which you
should definitely do if you go to your
cemani you know that one hiking house at
sunset there are so many pretty colors
it's just indescribable how beautiful
it's so really what's there I definitely
go there for sunset and what comes out
to sunset its darkness yes I have to
hike back through the woods
in the darkness part of a mile and over
a mile and thank goodness we have
flashlights on our iPhone because I
thought we were all using if you don't
have that there is no way we could have
made it back it's yeah yeah so I mean
yes we have the you know the flashlight
on our phones but also we found that our
iPhones we ran out of battery super fast
so conserve your phone battery if you
can if you're gonna use your phone light
I mean it cuz it did work out for us
some kind of a pain just have to hold
your phone yeah cuz we actually have
been labs we used it when we were in
Banff National Park I wish I would have
brought more uh
with leggings me too I you know a lot of
times when I pack things pants I'll wear
like two or three days in a row but
because a lot of the hikes are very
dusty our leggings would get so ground
so brown dirty very dirty
yeah this is probably the first national
park I've been to where I've gotten so
dusty that our shoes were covered in
dust and yes they're not like rugged
hikes or anything that their dirt is
really frying yeah it's not it's just
yeah the sticks are my clothes and shoes
spine dirt to me sandy like it's yeah
another thing we wish we would have
brought especially when we were hiking
was a mist trail as I was call yeah
Thank You wonderful yeah it's a very
strenuous hike and when I'm I and I was
watching other hikers they all had on
poles like you Pannell say oh man that
would have been so useful because we did
try to pick up like sticks from nature
yeah and they work to some extent but
they're kind of rough on your hands when
you hold a heavy and they're heavy
whereas hiking sticks you can actually
adjust it the collapsible yeah they're
collapsible and I definitely wouldn't
okay whatever utilised it yeah these how
a lot of hikers do that speaking of that
trail uh yeah I guess what thing would
probably be hiking boots because you
need to support your ankles yeah
that's me we we got great sneakers that
had traction on other large adidas
checkers there other Tareq's Oh Jerry
yeah and they worked for all of our
other heights just fine yeah just fine
there was there great for everything
else but that hike specifically it was
rubbing against my ankle here so I was
trying to get blisters and it wasn't
really supporting my ankle and it really
would have helped because towards the
end when you get towards vernal falls
you're going over these really high
steps and it would have been helpful
with a high of hiking boots to support
her ankles there it was pretty much it I
think so now I think relatively we did a
great job okay yeah there's a few things
that we could have done without so if
