Buying a backpack? Put 70 #s in it, walk around the store with it one for one hour then think about buying it. Bigger is better, you can put less in a larger pack but is hard to put more in a small one.

@jrubin68 Yes, personal opinions do apply in this situation, i trully do not NEED a pad, only would WANT one. Also, if you know how to make your bed right then the comfort of it will be close if not more than a pad. Now im basing my opinion off the closed cell foam he is using in the video but, a full length inch and a half thick inflatable pad yes absolutely more comfortable…

@fxdrdnme I’m a minimalist too but a pad is neccessary if you’re doing anything but an overnight on pine needles and you don’t want your back tenderized.

the animal proof container is a joke. Think of it….
July 10th, 2010 at 8:35 am
just make video of your current catalog. You don’t NEED half of that stuff.
July 10th, 2010 at 9:13 am
hmmm….
I guess things like a flashlight, matches to light his handy dandy stove, and raingear aren’t essentials…

Who needs a pad when you got that bag?
Bear keg? that means your too close to a campground. If somethings hungry where do you think has the most food? A daypack too?? I just must be a minimalist….. The only reason you need poles is cause’ your bag is too darn heavy.

So much unnecessary stuff there. who the heck needs a plastic bowl and animal proof container?

I learned from experience ALPS Mountaineering brand gear works quite well for me.
I would steer people away from thosr BIG name brands, such as Sierra Designs and Mountain Hardware.

Wow,,,,,A backpacker with proper grammer.
I carry only around 35lbs, and that’s mostly comfort, and food items depending on my destination. I would bring the wife, but she weigh’s too much for my pack.
July 10th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
Not gunna.:)
July 10th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
Based on the gear he showed in the video that pack wouldn’t weigh any more than 25 pounds
July 10th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
You’re gonna, you’re gonna, you’re gonna…You WILL need. Not bad basic guide but he’s gunna need to expand that vocab.WILL need to expand that vocab :p

yeah..
my computer only lets me type uppercase D’s, for some reason. pretty Dumb, huh.
July 10th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
D’s must be pretty important to you…

Overall this video quite reasonably covers the basics. Some of us use light and ultralight versions of all of these items. To each his own. Everyone has their own style for backpacking.
I carry less than 20 pounds of packed weight but delete many items that others would consider essential.
I do recommend using a Mont-bell super stretch (800) down sleeping bag it’s very roomy and extremely light. It’s compresses to the size of a loaf of bread.
Hike your own hike.

Speaking of village idiot, you used “there” incorrectly. And why be such a jerk?
July 10th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
This guy is still a toolbox. Follow his advice only if you want to be miserable while buried beneath a 55-60 pound pack. Epert village has allowed there village idiot to do a video and it is sad…
