That's the best option for a 2 person tree standing tent I've seen. Here are some options of quality gear that won't break the bank or back. Durston X-mid 1 or 2 person tent, Durston Kakwa 55 pack, Cascade Mtn. Tech trekking poles, Decathalon puffy jacket, NearZero poncho [also covers pack], Gerber Dime multi tool, cook system [Toaks pot and lid, BRS 3000 stove, X-cup, lighter and a bandana], These items come in almost 5 pounds lighter and $680 less than your items. I'm 74 and on a budget [SS]. There are many more items like this out there that won't break the bank but you can be confident in and will keep you comfortable on the trail. Don't skimp on a good sleep system and must have a Garmin or life system. Sorry. Don't mean to hijack your video. Just trying to help others like me. Hope you have a great trip,

After having watched countless backpacking videos, so very thankful to have found YOUR video! ! ! Most helpful and balanced information without being THE authority for backpacking sharing! ! !

Yall make the best content !!

So helpful! Thanks for sharing your gear that you use.

I bought the copper spur tent because of you two, and WOW this thing is a beast. Stayed dry after it rained for 18 hours straight in the San Juans this weekend!! The footprint is a must for sure!

For my tent, I had the same issue with the weird packed shape. I bought a 20L compression bag from osprey and it works so well to make the tent a more manageable thing to pack.

Great video. The audio doesn’t bother me. Awesome you both love hiking together. I would recommend some sort of pack liner to keep your clothes protected. Have a great hike

Thanks for the helpful video, guys. Nice dance heading down Buckskin Pass towards Snowmass on the Four Pass Loop - such an epic trip! Camped at Crater Lake a few days ago and day hiked up Buckskin. Still a ton of snow the last half mile!

..Good looking packs ,, decent shoulder and hip belt padding ,,too many others are reduced to nothing but a strap .. Love either center zip or clamshell front opening ,, I think it's much easier to pack tight and still get what you need without unpacking everything...

I hope you find those quilts warm enough - the consensus seems to be 30F is the limit rating. I would only be OK down to 40F in an EE 30F but could make it down to 30F wearing all my layers (including my puffy). Love the Copper Spur! I got the UL3 at a crazy discount for car camping with the Mrs! If you subtract the trekking poles - unless those mostly stay in your pack, they are counted with the rest of your worn weight - your base weights will both be 1lb lighter!

What width are your pads? Wondering if two 25" fit. From the measurements, it looks like they would at the top, but not by the feet, haha.

😂 you really should poop everyday lol but I totally get not wanting to when backpacking. Thanks for the video! I'm headed to desolation wilderness in Tahoe next week!

.. good loadout ,, some things come and go depending on trip ,, I suggest make a printed gear list and keep in gear tote or wall at shelves ,, unpack everything and clean needed gear before putting on shelf... don't have to rely on last trip memory ... maybe include a small note pad and pencil to make adjustments on trail ,, to add or delete ..

.. Not a fan of the fuel transfer device ,, always carry ,2, 4 oz canisters ,, use one until empty the change to full one ,, puncture and dispose of empty when home,, NEVER have partially filled laying around .. on long trips , add a twig stove to your kit , can save fuel and good to have redundancy, especially in colder seasons ... and in cold months at altitude some canisters don't work properly ..besides , who doesn't like fire ..

I am with Kelby! Team Forced Camping/Backpacking Constipation here, too 😂😂😂

You should do more videos on dehydrated meals!

Take care, there so much mosquitoes in Sierra also forest service snow map highly inaccurate

so helpful for sure. what size compression sack do you use for your sleeping quilt? I have enlightened equipment also and love it.

I wonder what it would be if both tent and bear barrel were in a single pack...

Have you tried stuffing the quilt in the bottom of your pack without compression?

K’ nock. , not see nock. Baseweight you typically don’t include trekking poles either.

Super helpful. Definitely want to try the Hardsided Hydration set up. Curious… can you fit all this gear in your 55 packs on solo trips, or does this set up only work when you share the load?

Where in your bags do you store the poo drybag while you're on your trip, after it has stuff in it?

What size compression sack do you typically find works best for sleeping bags vs the quilts?

haha the poop discussion, thanks for the video edit: not related to this video necessarily, but it seems like you guys are missing "are" in your KZfaq bio? it's says We Zoe & Kelby etc etc. if that was intentional, then my bad pls ignore me!

May I ask how many liter the stuffsacks for the quilts are?

Links aren't working

Is the bear danger in your country? The black bear I mean is there or? I'm in Slovakia and we have also bears. And I think they are also danger but it sounds like people there in US really care about it 🤔. Thank you 🤗
