The only item I would HIGHLY recommend for Florida hiking that is not mentioned, particularly in the swampy areas, are gaiters. They keep the sand and muck out of your shoes and will prevent blisters and make hiking more comfortable. I use Dirty Girl Gaiters. $20 and they weigh nothing, plus they are “worn” gear anyway.

Hey girl...I'm a 63 year old retired Railroad worker in North Alabama. You're one of my favorite hiking channels to watch. I'm just getting into backpacking and trying to learn as much as I can about equipment. I have a few items from my camping days but I'm realizing I need to buy lighter equipment. I plan to do part of the Pinhoti Trail when the weather is cooler. Thank you for all the great hiking information.

👍 to the sleep pad. Hard to pop one of those, and they're multi-use. Good call with extra tempered lens protectors; saved me countless times. Umbrella seems invaluable against sun, downpours etc. Great rundown Kelly. ✌️

Great video, I was happy to see this pop up unexpectedly. I don't have a gear question, but I do have a Michael Jordon question. You don't seem old enough to have watched and appreciated, so am I incorrect or is there another more interesting story? Maybe add it to another video. Thank you for the content.

Hi Kelly, I am wondering about shoes. I was thinking about carrying a set of water shoes so that I would always be able to change into dry trail runners after the swamp/ water crossings. Would you do your shoes the same way if you were doing it again or take an extra pair?

Adding an extra Thinlight Foam Pad or equivalent will help with comfort and insulation.

I wonder how the X Mid is in bomber winds? Have you been in wind with it? Love your gear videos for the thru hiker ideas

@kellyhays23 Жыл бұрын

Have not been with it in super high winds yet! Hopefully will be able to test it soon

I keep a load of my survival gear with me when hiking and I wear a 550 pound paracord bracelet since it's good for everything. I also have an Apple Watch Series 5 which has the Explorer watch face in case if I was to forget my phone or the battery would've died and my watch is water resistant up to 160 feet (50m) and I'm currently saving up for the Apple Watch Ultra. By the way I'll be gone on July 7-8 going camping and floating down the river the next day.

Love your videos! Question for you regarding the InReach. I have one and have tried it numerous times on the East Coast in fully wooded areas and had the texts fail. What has your experience been?

Still want to know what happened in Panama City that got you off trail? Can you elaborate on that? Was it in relation to the guy that got stabbed on Eglin AFB?

@@nickhikesinthewoods6150 worth the wait. I know they've gotten better over the last few months. Cost/Quality it's the best pack maker out there in my opinion. Over $100 less than competitors and Mark stands behind his packs 100%

They hand make all their gear so it takes a little while! They have awesome customer service so I’m sure if you email them they will give you an update :)
