A lil looky at the gear I took on my 3-day backpacking trip in Snowdonia’s Rhinog mountains, in April. My pack weight here is 11kg base weight - not light by any means but also not insanely heavy. It was a bit much for the bad terrain & long inclines on day 2.
Since this video was filmed I've upgraded my tent to an MSR Hubba NX - this has knocked 1.2kg off my pack weight

Hi Wild Ones! This comment is coming to you from the past as I'm (hopefully) going to be off adventuring about when this video goes live. PACK WEIGHT - this lot has an 11kg base weight, or 16kg with 3 days of food +1L water. This isn't insanely heavy but also by no means a light pack weight. I mostly did ok with it, but it kicked my ass a bit on the bad terrain and long inclines. This rucksack distributes the weight really well for me, so I don't feel like I'm carrying as much as I am - if you're just starting out, I cannot overstate the importance of a well fitting and comfortable pack - this will be different for everyone so try them out first :) Since this video was filmed I've upgraded my tent to an MSR Hubba NX - this has knocked 1.2kg off my pack weight (sad to leave the Cloud Peak 2 at home though, man I do love that tent haha). I'll try to film a lil looky at the Hubba NX when I'm away, or if not I'll see if I can do one at some point when I get back. Have a great weekend and catch up with you in the week :D Claire 🌿🐻

Hey :) can I ask how waterproof is your waist bag? does it bash around the tops of your legs? or can you strap it just above or entwined with the waist strap of the back pack? I have always used a front shoulder bag but it is so uncomfortable and always adjusting it to prevent it bashing about! and I want to be able to use my chest strap mount for recording my hikes!

@@ianwoodzy638 Hi Ian, it's pretty waterproof, my things got damp after 2 days of near solid rain but there was no avoiding that getting things in & out all the time in wet weather. I don't think it let in water as such. It doesn't touch my legs at all, there's a handle at the top of it that I feed my rucksack chest strap though so it's held up nice on my torso :)

Everyone seems to know about the vaseline and cotton wool trick for fire lighting, but I find them messy and can be 'bulky'. I switched to tampons and candle wax which is great. Take an empty clean bean can, small fire underneath and drop in a few tealight candles. Once melted, remove from the fire and dangle in some tampons so they absorb the wax. Once dry, simply slice them up into pellets with a sharp knife, and then when they're ready to be used you ruffle them up. Great!

Just a suggestion, I would also take some Suncream, to guard against sunburn. Each to their own, but I prefer steel water bottles over bladders. At least you can set the steel bottle of water on your stove, or fire, to boil water and steralise it. As well as filling it with boiling water, placing it in a sock and using it as a hot water bottle in your sleeping bag. In the morning you can use the water for your morning brew. I make a check-list of all the essentials I have to take to ensure I don't leave anything behind and tick it off as I put it in my rucksack. It also helps in deciding whether or not I need it on the next trip, so is a way of trimming the weight I have to carry. I'm always looking for ways to lighten the load but remain comfortable. Not easy if you are carrying photographic equipment as well. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into making and producing your videos. The results of your hard work are plain to see. All the best.

Looks like a good load out. A couple of suggestions. Pack a fire steel to light your stove with. You will get thousands of lights and it’s not affected by rain or moisture. Also I wouldn’t pack your inflatable sleeping pad on the outside. I used to do this. After getting holes poked in in them from snagging on brush I now pack my sleeping pad inside my pack. Trekking poles are also a great bit of kit. I poo poo’d them for years, but don’t go anywhere without them now. They have saved me from rolling my ankles or falling countless times. They also come in handy when crossing streams or shooing rattlesnakes off of the trail ( a US problem). Also another great bit of kit is a CNOC water bladder. I use one in place of the water bag that comes with the Sawyer water filter. The backend opens up allowing you to scoop up water faster/easier and makes for easier cleaning when you get home. They also roll up nicer than the Sawyer bags for storage. He’s a link.

If you do need to use the bug net I’d suggest having one big enough to fit over a hat, so that the hat keeps the net away from your face. Otherwise the little feckers will bite you straight through it. Personally I use 100% DEET; just keep it away from your watch strap or anything plastic!

Excellent choices, for the terrain. I would use a "fire steel" sparker (45g) and ditch the matches for starting a stove. The mini tarp is redundant given your reflective pad. A plastic 4-cupper (159g) with a screw-on lid is useful for eating and toting a litre of water back to camp (rather bulky but fill it up with gear). An emergency locator beacon (100g) is handy, or so I was told. A mini multi-tool (150g) with a small blade is handy. A sleeping bag liner appropriate for the trip is important ( silk (186g), vapour barrier (160g), polyester (350g) ).

I need to send a link of your videos to my wife. She and 2 if her lady friends go every year on a week long hike. Usually in the North of Sweden, but they have also been in Norway and on a three week hike in Nepal. This year the plan is to go hiking with a tent and bring all the food, instead of, what they have been doing sofar, staying in huts and topping off on food at certain points. And your films have just so much good info. I would recommend to keep the tent though. Something I will "demand" from my wife too. If the weather turn bad, a (good) tent offers just so much more protection. Up north in our country you can get stuck for days, then a tent can be a life saver. Thanks for this info film.

You mentioned trekking poles - I remember (from a long time ago, obviously) Chris Brasher was interviewed and one thing he said was that if you use walking sticks or poles, they sort-of help you get up hills easier because they help to support the weight of your arms and your legs are lifting less. I agree and I have a matching pair of (albeit cheap) trekking poles. They really do make a difference and they've stopped me going base-over-apex more than once!

What worked great for a particular outing at a particular time of the year with its accompanying weather might need to be tweaked a bit to cover all the bases in a different area at another time of the year. The “basic load” will stay the same. The items on the periphery will change. I love how you explained every bit of your kit. Very thorough and well thought out! Well done!

Much quicker to extract and always much quicker to pack away again than with the original bag supplied (except for my Hillebergs). Survival whistle and headtorch belong around your neck; no use to you if in your rucsac that has fallen down the mountain.

Tourniquet is probably overkill, but one of them there Israeli bandages has a large field dressing with a build in compression strap. Probably more useful ?

@bob_the_bomb4508 2 жыл бұрын

Absolutely. And a triangular bandage is a good addition

Great content, like yourself I also use the cloud peak 2 and i know i need to lighten the load for hiking & before doing multi days but i just love the tent too much to change it. Currently think i need a better sleeping bag and might invest in a decent one like yourself.

@markatchison9974 3 жыл бұрын

Great idea with the sleeping bag. Make it fit around everything else & fill the gaps it finds, rather than the other way around of trying to fit everything around the compressed bag, like trying to pack around a football. Much more stable & space saving.

Interesting combo of weight, comfort, convenience and cost. UK weather is not as easy to plan for and remain comfortable. I go between ultralight and ultra comfortable depending on the trip.

Brilliant breakdown Claire! Don't forget to ask ppl to like and subscribe - 280 views, with only 40 thumbs up is pretty poor from ppl, considering the time it would've took you to record all of this vid. Look forward to more.

We are all constantly changing what we pack, It depends on the terafirma you find yourself up against, personally I liked your tent, but if its a bit heavy then maybe you need another, by the way another great video, I like the difference you bring to hiking.

Nice music at the beginning, great gear and a gorgeous lady. Who wouldn't want to see this? Cheers ... have a good one. Gotta have that down puffy...comes in very handy! A camera with detachable objective or a compass with magnifier glass can be used for making a fire...if the sun is there too...

Love this. Found it and realised it's one of the few videos I've not seen. Would be really interested to see an updated gear list for an equivalent trip, I feel you have trimmed a lot of the items out, or replaced with better? :)

I like to keep my water bottle attached to side of my backpack that way when I stop to catch my breath (going uphill) or I want a break for a minute my excuse (to myself) is I wanted a drink of water 🤫 , oh I like to stop and take a lot of photos as well 😉

Its always cool to see what others are carrying on overnight hikes,... would love more information on that #NatureHike tent, Pros+Cons and thoughts,... Thanks #Claire

It's a cracker of a tent. Modelled off the Hilleberg Allak2 (which instantly tells you how well its designed) It's not too heavy and it's mega spacious. Really great tent for a reasonable price too. 👍

Hi Gary! As Dan said, it's an excellent tent :D it's huge, like cavernous. So much space and headroom. It has 2 doors and two vestibules which is amazing, easy to pitch. I can't remember if it has one or two pockets inside, there's a hook thing for a light. It can pitch all together, so inner already attached to the outer and the footprint already attached to the inner, so putting it up in bad weather is no issue at all, inside stays dry. I've been using it for over a year and never had any issues with it. It's never let in rain. I absolutely love it and it's only the weight (it's 2.5kg) that made me upgrade to the MSR Hubba NX (1.3kg). I just used the MSR for my trip this weekend and I badly missed the space of the Naturehike, but for multi-day trips I need to be reducing the weight really, so, I have to compromise on the space. For me, being in the Naturehike felt like being in a little home, whereas being in the smaller MSR felt like being in a necessary shelter. The only thing I would say is that the bathtub floor on the Naturehike is really thin - I use a foil foam mat to protect my sleeping mat from anything that might poke through from underneath the tent floor Hope that helps :D Claire

Definitely add a tourniquet and also a tampon to the first aid kit. Tourniquets are great for a deep cut but useless for a puncture wound!

It's all about adapting your kit over time, not going to get it spot on straight away. Another great video, the mosquito sound effect made me laugh. 😄

Thanks Tom :) Oh absolutely! When I started out 4 years ago it was with a £50 Vango Soul 200 and a £19 sleeping mat & £40 sleeping bag from mountain warehouse, sooo I'm progressing slowly over the years, still got a ways to go to get this weight down a bit but it's manageable for the most part

@@WildBeare That's the way to start out tho ay, you've done very well from what I've seen, considering it's not only camping gear but filming equipment too, all the best for future adventures! :)
