Great gear video, dude! My kit and yours have a fair amount in common, so it's nice to see someone else dial things in to what you know works well for you. Where I hike the temps can be all over the place, even for a weekend trip, so I agree with you about having a fleece. A combo that works well for me for conditions that seem similar to yours (wet and can go down to freezing) is wind jacket + fleece (worn) and puffy down vest and Apex pants (packed). This gives me a lot of flexibility for both hiking, sitting around camp, sleeping, and also good insurance if there's a cold snap to onion up with all my layers. I'm also a somewhat of a warm sleeper and find my 2C rated quilt to be just right, and my Borah bivy gives a lil' bump in warmth (and especially drafts!) as well. Happy trails man!

@ZacDeclerck Жыл бұрын

There's some hot tips here. People don't believe me when I say the bug netting on the bivy adds warmth. I mean yeah it's permeable but it's genuinely a very light layer to help with drafts! Enjoy 🤘

Thanks for this video. Always great to get new ideas. I live in Canada, northern Ontario, a bit different in terms of climate and vegetation and fauna. I also like using Altra's without too much padding. I am definitely not a do it yourselfer. I appreciate your skills. Also I am turning 74 soon so I may want to increase my comfort level slightly, though I don't like carrying any electronics. Best wishes to you.

Great kit dude, you are very tough for having very few luxuries. Cheers from Auckland. I've only got half of my hiking gear and I'm already down 2000 nzd. I'm very tall so I can't cheap out on gear really. I bet you save a lot from making your own kit!

@ZacDeclerck Жыл бұрын

On the Bibbulmun Track, you sleep in shelters with wooden bunks every night. I'd only carry a foam pad if I was sleeping on the soft ground!

@pau3464 Жыл бұрын

i have a question, in 4:34 you show a picture of the polycro groundsheet and it appears to be a poncho shelter, it was yours? could you tell me the model? i want to get a poncho that can be used as a reasonable big tarp and that looks awesome

@adrianherth9497 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing! :) Very helpful, especially because your kit is very similar to mine. Do you think I could leave the trekking pole at home and set the tarp up with sticks, or are they hard to find sometimes?

@ZacDeclerck Жыл бұрын

Absolutely you could find sticks on the trail. You spend 90% of the time sleeping in huts anyway. There is no need to carry a heavy tent like most do

Thanks for sharing dude! I’m from Hong Kong and I have few questions to ask. Do you have any alternative options for the tent and backpack? Because this kind of tent is a bit less private for me and The backpack is hard for me to DIY😂 Also, how can you keep your safe? I’m not sure, but how would you do if you meet bear😂thxxx!

@adam_hikes Жыл бұрын

i liked that we got to follow along with your hike and then get to see all your gear at the end, it's the logical completion to an epic journey. 👌 pretty much the same as how you posted all your Te Araroa videos and then posted your TA gear video at the end, oh wait, no, you didnt😛 😁

Were you spending much time at camp or was it mostly either moving or being in your shelter? Just curious what temps the decathlon is good in if you're not moving, sitting around having food etc. I've got an Atom LT but the thing is on the way out after sloggin a decade out of it. It seems clever to have a really warm insulating layer that can be paired with a lighter sleeping bag and also a bivy, seems like it could cater to a super wide variety of temperatures and conditions, from only the bivy or the jacket in hotter temps to the bag and the bivy in mid and all three down to freezing.

@ZacDeclerck Жыл бұрын

I was mostly moving or in my quilt! The winter daylight hours were >10hr, so I would walk every minute of them, then a few hours in camp each night. The Decathlon is a fantastic budget puffy. Comfortable down to 5c, but will get you below freezing if you pair it with a fleece or rainjacket. You're spot on with the adaptive layering system

Level 1 Hiker: noob with all the mistakes still ahead of them. Carrying a kitchen sink plus another spare one just in case. Sore. Level 2 Hiker: Ultra light syndrome. Overcorrected from Lvl 1. Selfish, but somehow also the camp charity case. Constantly borrowing (but never taking) from Lvl 1 Hikers. Constantly looking for Lvl 1 converts to UL. Utterly useless in an emergency situation, even their own. Level 3 hiker: the trail elders. Have everything they need and nothing they don't. Quiet. Who the Lvl 1s should be listening to, but Lvl 2s wont let them get a word in. Perfectly balanced between comfort and weight. The people you want around in an emergency situation.
