I received my pack and can't wait to try it out. How about a demonstration on how you would pack it when you have to use a bear can with multiple days of food.

Dan Becker comment!! Lol. Just got my bag, loving it so far. And yes a 2P tent does fit. No not just the fly, the tent. Taking it out for 7 days in 2 weeks in Florida. Will let you know how it holds up. I have full faith.

The throat clear "Dan" got me 🤣😂🤣 7:30

Great information; especially 'being consistent' in packing; super helpful when searching for something at night or early morning.

Nice beard man and nice back bag cool video.....hello from Greece.

Thanks Jason, my food bag always is my heaviest item as well as my electronics bag.

I love this pack. My four packets hold my water bottle, my FLIR camera, a first aid kit and gloves. In the black stretchy pockets I have my poop kit, my notebook & fishing license, sometimes my Helinox chair and sometimes rain gear. Hooked to the straps are my Kula cloth, a recorder and my Garmin InReach mini and an emergency whistle. In the main = the bottom is my sleeping bag and pad, then my food/water filter/electronics/fire kit, then extra socks, a SmartWool long sleeve shirt and a balaclava, and on top my tea pot and stove & dishes and a puffy layer and a warm hat.My waist band pockets hold sunscreen/bug spray/lotion & lip balm on one side and my lunch/snacks on the other. I always wear either a brimmed sun hat or my Seattle Sombrero, a good bushcraft knife and I'm armed. If we're overnighting, the tent goes on top, because it's the first thing going up when I get to camp. Nice video, Tayson. LOVE your gear. The ONLY thing I wish was that the pockets on the waist band were a little tipped towards the front, so they'd unzip easier. I have to hold the belt to get the belt pockets open, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Fixing to use my new 45L at Frozen Head n TN. Like it a lot but wish it had a loop on left side like it does on the right side. Could strap a larger item on

Pretty sound advice. Thank you. The only thing I would do differently is put my water bottle on the opposite side as my cook system & fuel. That will better balance the pack and allow you to pack your water filter system in the pouch below the cook system & fuel. If you have to carry two equal size water bottles the point is mute. If you have two unequal size water bottles, pair the smaller one with your water filtration system.

So Ive been a bushcraft/primitive camper since young teenage years , lots of gear /weight , heavy strong materials . never been into long hikes , just find a hole in the bush and set up camp , now at 51 , recently have gotten into light titanium cook gear , light sleep gear , stuff sacks etc. , and have been looking into going fully ultra light to do more hiking , I dont mind weight but want to get the best out of the journey I can . Ive been researching ultralight packs , and as a guy who has countless amounts of different high quality packs/rucksacks for what i do (somewhere in the 20’s lol), I know what Im looking for . I have looked into sooooo many and quite disappointed in the choices , however this pack hits all the marks . The design and packability of side pouches and main bucket hits all Im looking for and are use to . I just ordered mine this morning and am looking forward to getting it packed out and putting some miles in .....

Love this Tayson!!! I just ordered a few items from y’all which I’m SO excited for!! Oblivion pad Altitude Hoodie for the wife And finally THE STORMLOFT! So excited about this new equipment man. I’m 5’8 but got the long version of the bad for the extra 5 inches on the width…. I’m really hoping I love this pad 🤞

Bin liners are a good cheap alternative to pack liners. Most people have these at home. Also if you are going to go out wet hiking double rap everything in bin or pack liners don't have them going in the same directory go in opposite directions as your goods will stay dryer longer. I have been involved with Scouting for 37 years and have learnt from bitter experience if hiking in the wet that it isn't much fun eating soggy food or wearing really wet clothing.

Love my SL 60 completely happy with it. Only a couple of minor things I'd add but not a deal breaker. Just the fact that its 3 lbs lighter than my wife's pack makes me happy.

I was making a pretty big mistake with my pack liner in that I was shielding everything from the rain. But I think that was reducing my usable space inside. Very useful video.

Just ordered the Shadowlight 60L; happy to cut off over 2 pounds of weight. Great idea with the four side pockets; that and the weight is the reason I ordered one.

I had to stop and watch this two times just to confirm that Tayson is my backpacking hero. A true guru with an in-depth understanding of how to enjoy yourself and be comfortable living the ultralight life. He is so involved in this concept that he decided to pack without the Bee-Free water filter.....unless that is the hidden bulge in the top left pocket that is his secret message saying "no matter how lightweight you go - never forget the water filter!" I got the message Tayson and great video always my friend. Now that the fun is over. this really is a great and simple video to explain weight distribution and organization so that no matter the trip, your gear is always readily available. Super easy with pack like the Shadowlight that have organizational pockets and a main compartment that can be snuggled down for smaller loads or expand up for larger trips.

Cant wait to buy the shadowlight pack!! Soon soon!!!

That’s exactly what I needed to see. Nice demo there young lad. Thank You for this I’ll be rearranging my gear several times before I get the right feel. Cya in them hills

Nice pack! One thing you didn’t include is food for more than the current day. Because food is pretty dense (expect for freeze-dried meals, but I keep all my food together), I usually put it in the middle - on top of my sleeping bag, beside my tent. I fold my inflatable sleeping pad flat and put it against the back panel, so there’s room for my extra food next to my tent, where you put your pad.

Another quality video. Cheers guys.

Good info love the pack and been using my OV quilt still live it.

I hope to have this pack soon! Can't wait. Great tips!

I can't wait to get out with my new Shadowlight. Maybe next week.

Can we get a typically counter in the next video? 😂

Hope the regular size fits me.

Hey Tayson, if it doesn't exist yet, any chance of a summer or warm weather version of this video? Yes it may be common sense on substitutions but also sometimes we may not bring as much on warmer trips so it would be helpful. Thanks for all the awesome things you guys and gals do!

Awesome video and waiting for shipping to deliver, this Texas freeze appears to have slowed shipping!

I have already taken my Shadowlight backpack on a spin fully loaded. It was a 19 mile day hike. I wanted to try it before my first backpacking trip. What do you think about placing the sit pad underneath the pad on the back of the backpack and removing the internal frame? I found that the frame comes up too behind my head for my comfort. The backpack felt amazing without the frame.

Very good 👍

Dude , no need to subscribe, we see u everyday with every video of the day

I was surprised no one ask what the jacket was you kept referring to. Is that something new?

My backpack 🎒 just came in this week. Can't wait to use it. Looks great, feels light. Quick question.. how waterproof would you say the Shadowlight is?

Would like to see the pack loaded with a bear canister. How would you do that?

very convenient, greetings

i have to carry a bear canister. Will this pack be large enough for a solo week?

Here's my review of Tayson's pack. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rsVigraWsdyzh3U.html

Will the 1/8 inch pad fit in with the sit pad?

Take a drink every time Tyson says typically! LOL If you're going out for a longer stretch and need to carry about 5 days worth of food would you still be putting it on the top or shift it to the middle because it now outweighs the tent, etc.?

Thanks a lot, now I have a better Idea! First?!

No tent?

Question: Looks like about a liter or 2 of water. Is that all the water you take? If so, on longer trips, what is your water purifier method or do you take an extra bottle of water?

You forget a first aid kit. Kind-a big deal, everyone should bring one. Kind-a not a big deal, because you gave enough ideas a person could figure it out for them self depending on size. a booboo kit left side pouch, major trauma etc. inside.

Does it come with rai cover

Cool looking pack I must say! How would you pack a bear can in the bag? Would it fit horizontally at the bottom? Thanks man!

Nice pack. So what are you doing with your phone?

What GPS do you use

At time 2:16 he's showing a OV tent. Which tent is he packing?

I’m still not used to the zipper. I keep forgetting to use it!🤦‍♀️

What container are you carrying your alcohol fuel in? Thanks for the vid.

Nice but let’s see one with 7 to ten days of food in a bear proof container?

.. dan

Typically typical.
