- In today’s episode I go through HOW I pack my gear, like an episode 2 for my preparations for the Fjällräven Classic Sweden 2021. I will also talk about the WHY I do the things I do. I hope with this gear packing video, I can give some ideas and tips for your Fjällräven Classic or just your next hiking trip.
For more info regarding my gear, what I bring and all the weights... follow the link down below to LIGHTERPACK. And, for mor information on FJÄLLRÄVEN CLASSIC Events, follow the link to FJÄLLRÄVEN.

Thank you Robert - this is pure gold. At least 4 of your packing system features are things that would benefit me. After several decades of backpacking it's easy to get into confirmed habits, and although I've managed to upgrade and lighten a lot of my gear (baseweight now around 6.5kg), I've not given sufficient consideration to how I pack.
Thanks and glad to hear I could help! 🙂 the pack system and how I do it changes over time and and becomes better, quicker and more compact. When out hiking I generally do a better job then being at home 😄🤷🏼♂️
But as a general idea, this is the way I still pack today with only one change, I keep my tent inside instead of the outside. (Changed tent)
@@roberthammenrudh I did wonder about your tent! Nothing wrong with an Enan of course, but it looks rather cramped to me. I've used a Hexpeak V4A for several years, but have now added a Lanshan 1 Pro (690g) for settled summer weather, and a Tarptent Scarp 1 (1.3kg) for more challenging conditions.
@@davids9549 Yep it was a bit cramped so changed to the Big Sky Revolution 1.5 and are so happy. The weight is a bit to much but it will have to be find for this year. Next year I hope to get a replacement below 1kg!
Thank you. That was interesting and useful. I been across to Lighterpack and registered so I can compile my own list.
Glad you liked it Emma and to make a list at Lighterpack to sort out your gear is very helpful and a great start. 👍🏻 🙂
Good one! I got one of the ultra-sil liner bags in stead of using a bin bag. Really light and a bit more waterproof as far as the closure system goes. Lately I have been thinking about dropping the extra set of dry sleep clothes and using a vapour barrier in stead for sleeping. A SOL emergency bag weigh a little over 100 grams so potentially saving half a kilo… will have to do some close to home testing before going on a multi day hike.
Thanks…and yes the SOL or Thermal liners are interesting, the biggest problem is that they don’t breathe and there for a lot of moisture stays inside and you eventually get wet. But worth trying 👍🏻
@@roberthammenrudh yes thats the entire idea of the VBL, to get moist 😂 So clothes can all ready be wet going to bed and the sleeping bag will stay dry. I use vbl on my feet hiking in winter and stay very warm
Ah ok, new to me to have that approach instead of trying to stay dry.
@@roberthammenrudh My feet sweat a lot, so i use a thin wool liner sock, then plastic bag, then thick sock during winter. Inner sock stays wet but the liquid is warm. The insluation and boot stays completely dry. Just need to dry feet off in evening
@@roberthammenrudh how many nights does the classic take? Northern Sweden just turned green 🤪
I have the GG gorilla and it's a great little pack wondering how the atom competes? The pocket on the gorilla call take A LOT of gear and I carry clothes because I'm not interested in being cold
The gorilla was in my list before the Atom+ and I do believe it to be a great pack as well. Haven’t tried one out so difficult to compare but, maybe one day I hope to try some packs from Gossamer Gear as well.
I have the same pack and also the same roo, my gear is basically the same except I pack my quilt into the bottom of the pack and my tent is secured under the Y strap on the top for the same reason can put the tent up without opening my pack in the rain.
Great video great pack 👍
Glad you liked the video and fun that we have more or less same gear and pack the same way 😄👍🏻 love that pack and fanny pack!!
@@roberthammenrudh yeah I love mine too, I wear the roo even on my shortest walks it saves me stopping as everything is to hand, hat, gloves, sunglasses, headnet, jelly babies etc etc etc
@@SteveSmith-67 same here, beanie, mosquito head net and first aid etc…but after 8 h in pouring rain on my last hike I noticed I need to put the beanie/buff in a small liner because it eventually leaks a lot!!
@@roberthammenrudh I will seam seal mine although it invalidates the warranty at the price it cost me it’s worth it
@@SteveSmith-67 I will do the same, both the fanny pack and the top of the Atom+. 🙂
Would you carry the same backpack if you have to carry a helmet, harness, and some via ferrata kit in case your trail requires you to use via ferrata also?
That’s a good question, not a climber but that kind of gear is not directly light so depending on the total weigh a change in backpack might be necessary. With the Atom+ I’m comfortable carry like 13 kg or so, more than that requires a more stiff frame so probably better going for the Mo, if talking Atompacks.
Jag såg att du hade FORCLAZ vattentäta handske kolla på dem men dom hade konstigt mått och det stog att dom som hade köpt dom att kragen är trång jag har normalt storlek 9 vad har du?
Hej Anders, jag har också storlek 9 på mina och det är nog sant att kragen är lite trång samt kring handleden. Jag är rätt smal där så spelar inte mig så stor roll, men förstår om man har lite grövre handleder att det kan bli ett problem. Så har du en Decathlon butik kan du ju droppa in och prova…jag har faktiskt inte använt dom speciellt mycket. Gillar mina Hestra bättre som jag pratar om i ”protect your hands” avsnittet. 🙂
Hi, I'm watching your videos 👍 because I'm exchanging my backpack for an ultralight one. 5.4kg is impressive, I compared it with my luggage and you have a few things missing: mattress pump bag (I use a small pump/light), quilt liner, knife, towel, sandals/flip-flops, change of clothes (don't you take it? Me I have a second T-shirt, panties, socks...), a hat and gloves, a repair kit, a GPS tracker... Each of these things adds weight, especially clothing... . I would have about 1kg less if I changed my backpack (currently Optic) and tent (Copper Spur 1p)...Regards from Poland, Pawel
Hi Pawel 👋🏻 thanks for watching and glad to hear about your journey towards a lighter pack! Regarding your questions…
1) pump, well previously no pump but used my mouth and lungs. But for this year I maybe will add the Tiny Pump from Flextail, or the original sack from Nemo.
2) spare clothes, I only bring one pair of underwear and one pair of socks for change. I can wash during trip if necessary. I also bring dedicated sleep clothes like a wool base layer and wool socks.
No camp shoes, no knife, no towel, no liner and no GPS tracker . Bring my phone and watch for navigation. (Offline maps)
What to bring and what not to bring is personal. I know many that bring knife’s, also many who bring a spare T-shirt. So do what you feel is best for you, as long as you stay safe and warm!
Have you ever needed to use a Bear Canister over there Robert? Maybe not necessarily for bear protection, but for all the mini bears (Racoons, Mice, Ferrets, and so on.) out there.
Nope can’t say I have or that we need it. Not many bigger ones over here although we have the brown bears but they are very shy and accidentally only stacks hunters, so when stressed I guess. Haven’t heard anyone here that needed a bear Can…for mice, maybe a good idea 😄👍🏻
@@roberthammenrudh believe it or not Robert in the Olympics, The Cascades, and parts of Mount Rainier we are required to have a Bear canister. In the rest you are required to hang your food and kitchen supplies from a tree. And mice are the worst.
Thanks for the reply. You’re always informative.
Är det en drybag till tältet? Om inte hur håller du innertältet torrt? Och finns det dräneringshål på ytterfickorna av väskan? :)
Till Enan är det en drybag men eftersom allt sitter ihop (inner/ytter) packas det ihop så är yttern fuktig blir även innern det, men det har egentligen ingen betydelse…är det torrt natten efter så torkar allt och regnar det ja…då är innern lätt fuktig men något vatten kommer ju inte in för det. Samma gäller det tält jag använder idag, Revolution 1.5 från Big Sky…inner och ytter sitter ihop och det tältet packar jag idag inne i ryggsäck ovanpå linern.
Ytterfickorna har dräneringshål så ev vatten som kommer in, rinner ut. 👍🏻
@@roberthammenrudh okej, tack för svar! Jag gillar verkligen ditt sätt att packa, har inte tänkt tidigare på att man kan skippa alla påsar till quilt osv. Ska testas på min nästa tur! Och att vika liggunderlaget liknande det du gör. Tack för bra och konkreta videos 😃
@@swaempaa tack för din positiva feedback, uppskattas! En förändring jag funderar på, för att öka säkerheten är att jag beställt en separat packpåse i DCF för samtliga mina sov/dunsaker. Den kommer användas inuti linern och ger för liten vikt en extra säkerhet vid långvarigt regn eller om man råkar trilla i ett vad eller liknande.
Den är beställd från en kille som syr måttbeställda så det kommer jag återkomma till lite senare i höst förmodligen.
Att påpeka, har aldrig fått mina sovsaker blöta än så länge så det är bara en extra säkerhet. 🙂
how warm are you in the Cumulus Quilt 250?
Well, You are right it’s the 250 but with 50 grams overfill so slightly warmer. I usually sleep with wool shirt and pants/socks and are fine and comfortable down to 3 degrees Celsius. Then I usually put on my fleece and if below 0C my puffy. If I know there will be freezing temperatures I usually bring my down pants as well and are fine down to -3-4. So for me, perfect for 3 season and with a good flexibility.
Can't speak for the 250, but I own the 350 with normal fill and last time I was out it was around +5C during the night, I slept in a tshirt and shorts and I was sweating so much so I had to pull it off a couple of times during the night to cool myself. But I'm also a warm sleeper. Just one more reference point for you :)
Wou only 5kg crazy.
Hi, and yes …depends also what I choose to bring but if I go with the minimum yes, close to 5 kg. If I use a bit more comfort and choose my Big Sky instead of Enan and some other small items I am at 5.7 kg. But that is ok to 🙂 I would say anything below 6 is light weight and ok, for me. What about you? A goal to reduce weight this season?
@@roberthammenrudh I trained with 10kg because i thought at least it will be 15kg when i go out. I wanted to start going hiking thats why i dontk now how much a load out weights. But 5kg is basically nothing nice.
@@yoyoyooo4735 ok, understand. Well unless buying all new equipment reaching 5 Kg takes time but totally worth it. Much easier to enjoy the hike and walking a long distance. Wish you all the luck on your future hikes!
