Not gunna.:)

Wow,,,,,A backpacker with proper grammer.
I carry only around 35lbs, and that’s mostly comfort, and food items depending on my destination. I would bring the wife, but she weigh’s too much for my pack.

I learned from experience ALPS Mountaineering brand gear works quite well for me.

I would steer people away from thosr BIG name brands, such as Sierra Designs and Mountain Hardware.

Thanks for the advice. thought you were very good

at first i thought the yoga ball was part of the list

haha that’s a joke !!!
… the nutnfancy project is SO much better ! ! Even for beginners …

y is every thing upside down

1st of April …

So much unnecessary stuff there. who the heck needs a plastic bowl and animal proof container?

Who needs a pad when you got that bag?
Bear keg? that means your too close to a campground. If somethings hungry where do you think has the most food? A daypack too?? I just must be a minimalist….. The only reason you need poles is cause’ your bag is too darn heavy.

hmmm….

I guess things like a flashlight, matches to light his handy dandy stove, and raingear aren’t essentials…

just make video of your current catalog. You don’t NEED half of that stuff.

the animal proof container is a joke. Think of it….

@bushcraftbaird112 sorry, was bout to give it a thumbs up instead kliked the wrong option.

@fxdrdnme I’m a minimalist too but a pad is neccessary if you’re doing anything but an overnight on pine needles and you don’t want your back tenderized.

@jrubin68 Yes, personal opinions do apply in this situation, i trully do not NEED a pad, only would WANT one. Also, if you know how to make your bed right then the comfort of it will be close if not more than a pad. Now im basing my opinion off the closed cell foam he is using in the video but, a full length inch and a half thick inflatable pad yes absolutely more comfortable…

Buying a backpack? Put 70 #s in it, walk around the store with it one for one hour then think about buying it. Bigger is better, you can put less in a larger pack but is hard to put more in a small one.

@SgtThomy nut rocks!

i say lose the mat and tent and just invest in a hammock much lighter and less space in your pack

nutnfancy is way better!

@iammuss01 Unless of course, you’re on the side of a mountain above the treeline in 40mph winds and heavy snowing.

My ultimate advice for beginners – don’t buy anything! Rent or borrow your gear and go backpacking with someone who’s experienced – let them walk you through a gear list that will be appropriate for where/when you’re going. It takes time to work out what gear you like, what your style is, and what system works for you. If you’re a beginner, I guarantee that no matter how much research you do you will spend thousands of dollars on stuff that you will be unhappy with after only a few excursions.

i say…ditch the pussy pad, the stove, the untensils, the food, maybe even the tent…backpacking is about living with the land is it not? so why are we bringing a bunch of luxury stuff now?

expertvillage should stop makeing vidios they have no idea what to do. Also they can’t make a propper vidio without being stupied and gayl.

i pack my shotgun.
