Lots of emergency rescues of unprepared day hikers here too. To keep ticks out, socks should go over the cuffs of your pants, as ticks only climb up. I recommend carrying a sheet of polycryo in addition to the emergency bivy. Also you should always carry a compass, at least a mini one.

Bought my son the Osprey Jet 18 and for myself an Osprey Talon 22 this week. Going to go on a day hike tomorrow. After adding what you recommended, short of the down jacket since we are 85+ F, we are at 4 lbs and 6.5 lbs. That is weight before water bottles being filled, but includes food. Going to be a big difference from my 20 pound bag I've carried all Summer. Just want to say thanks again. Since finding your channel back in the Spring, I've learned a lot and it has changed my mind on backpacking. The right gear and weight are the biggest factors in making it fun for me. Got me off the couch and I have lost 20 lbs this Summer! More importantly though, all of the memories being made with my son.

Very smart video 👍 I use the osprey hikelite 26 as a day pack, lots of similar features but often when I use it I end up packing family stuff also for my wife and kid. (Extra water and extra clothes) Even solo I don’t find it too bulky. Sure hope you pick up those keys from the ground before you headed back on trail ;)

I recently got the EVOC "CC 3L Race" backpack which i think is a *really* good option for "fast and light" dayhikes. The main compartment is 3 liters, and contains a 2L waterbladder. This leaves a whole liter of capacity for snacks, and maybe a "steripen" or "sawyer squeeze". I also store band-aids and disinfectant in a mesh pocket inside the main compartment. It also have a pocket on the shoulder strap that is perfect for a flashlight, and the hipbelt pockets are perfect size for my ecig and Garmin "eTrex 32x" GPS. An outside pocket have room for a sit pad, and the mesh pocket can fit either a rainponcho or the Arcteryx "Incendo SL" jacket. Lastly, a zippered pocket have room for map and compass, my phone, and some other small items.

Mt. San Gorgonio in So. California, is one of the hardest day trails in CA. 19 miles RT, 1 mile elevation gain, 11,500 ft. summit. On the same day I saw 2 guys with NO food or water, and on the summit a guy wearing rubber flip-flops, who said he was invited on the hike at the last minute and didn't have time to bring shoes. Insane!

How are you? Justin please add a compass & map. If all that technology fails a map & compass never runs out of power. Also carry a fire lighter of some sort. If you fell & got injured, fire to signal, warmth, protection... so on. Loving the super hero hat. I wouldn’t mind one of them myself. Also I knew the jacket would make it in there somewhere 😉
@JustinOutdoors4 жыл бұрын
Unless it is a long and remote trip, I don't think a compass and map will be coming along with me. Worst case scenario, I always know which direction to head to hit a road and can use the sun to head i in the general right direction. I 100% agree fire is a necessity. I usually carry a few matches and fire starter in my first aid kit. Super lightweight and invaluable!

@JustinOutdoors4 жыл бұрын
I don't care about weight much at all for day hikes. It's more that I don't want to deal with one more thing to keep track of and remember. I think it depends a lot on what kind of trip you are on. I have and will continue to bring a map and compass on remote multiday trips but on well used trails that I am day hiking, I'll continue to leave them at home.

Curious on thoughts of Nemo Tensor vs S2S Ether? I can't decide and with COVID can't test em out in store. :( Just looking for most comfortable!
@JustinOutdoors4 жыл бұрын
Lucky for you, I've been using the Tensor for several months now. It depends on what you prioritize! They are around the same price, so that's a wash. Comfort-wise - S2S takes it in my opinion. Wamrth - Tensor takes it by probably 5C. I can take the tensor below freezing and be warm, which I can't do with the S2S. Weight - Tensor again. Ease of use - S2S. That's my quick and dirty response. Within the next month and a half, I'll be doing a full comparison video on both pads!
