Gear of a pack load under 10 lbs. / Functional / Very comfortable

- Have you ever wondered like I have over the years. If you could take an ultralight pack load of under 10 lbs. Not only having it comfortable on your back when you are hiking. But have what's in that pack load. To be comfortable when you take it off your back. When you get to camp, at the end of the day. After hiking for hours.
For months I have been researching for gear that is not only lightweight. But very functional. Not just for an over-nighter. But for multiple days on a hiking trip.
Now I would like to share the gear I had on my back, besides food, water, and fuel. That was under 10 lbs. And took a week-long trip on the Centennial trail. In the Black Hills of South Dakota. With adverse conditions. I was not only comfortable on the trail but also very comfortable in the rain and with temperatures near freezing at camp.

"Didn't lose my cap"
Cap: Rolls away immediately. :D
That is why you bring an extra cap. You never know when they are going to roll away. Thank you Remy for watching. Much appreciated.
Outstanding job my friend….. very informative and a lot of very practical and cool gear….👍🏻‼️
Thanks for sharing…..‼️
Stay Strong 💪🏻 Brother….👍🏻🪖🫡🇺🇸
Thank you AlpineWarrior so much. I really appreciate it.
The bags are ok but my ziplocks are see thru, cheap & work. Those Sandlers make me smile but really if you wear those you must have a ggg ul titanium one hitter or ty cob pipe. I’d be willing to bet Runner has one 😂😂😂
Like your closing music.
That is funny. I have been eye balling that. And that titanium funnel for my flask that Runner gave me. Both from the same company. I love ggg. Ever since Midwest Mountaineering move out. Now that is my favorite store. Only a half an hour from my house. If i want to pick it up the same day.
"Never shake the hand of a gram weenie"
Words to live by.😅😅😅
Otherwise you better have hand sanitizer! Thank you HHappyfuntimereviews for watching. I really appreciate it.
Not shaking hands with anyone on trail. A friendly nod or at most a fist-bump. ...but most likely I'm going with the friendly nod. lol
I like that camera mount on your hiking pole
Simple and readily available. Thank you John for watching. I hope all is well.
😂😂 "I didn't lose my cap" @ 3:52 where it then processed to roll off the table
It took me awhile to find that cap. That is why I bring extra caps. Thank you XalphabotX for watching. I really appreciate it.
Great load out Ron! Feels good with a lighter pack. Where did you get the Kevlar straps. I recently bought the Spiderweb Straps from Dutch. but I’m worried they will roll up and cut into the trees. The strap chair was interesting. 👍
I have a few that I got from Dutch a couple of years back. Like a Cuban Fiber tarp. They are strong. But if something sharp comes against it. They will brake. You have to be careful with them. I found out the hard way. Thank you Dan for watching. I always appreciate it.
Very svelte! And a good presentation too. If you need to carry more but don't enjoy the belly band much, like me -- you might consider a decent hip bag like the Savotta Askare 7L. With or without using the PALS webbing, it can carry heavier small items and even a small tent, leaving my 30L vest harness shoulder pack for bulky, lightweight items. The weight can quickly be taken off your shoulders by resting the upper pack on the lower "shelf" -- and the weight on your hips never shows up on the shoulders!
Thank you Robertphillips for sharing that. Good stuff!
I appreciate that you showed the video gear which most folks omit. I'm not a high powered CZcamsr, but I do occasionally video some things to share with my family so seeing what others use really helps me fine tune my efforts.
I really try to do an honest review on gear. Is it functional or not. For an example. Those three luxury items. ( camp shoes, saw, and strap chair ). I need to do more testing in different conditions and situations to see if they are worth having in the pack for a trip. Then I will do a review. I really do appreciate and thank you Georgeclark for watching.
Interesting…very advanced in fact! Hi from UK.
I attach a pair of crocs rather than flip flops using a piece of para cord and a climbing clip to the outside of my rucksack.
Also a Nitecore head torch and a small Nitecore torch which lasts 2.5 hours at 200 lumen.
I am not an expert like you though.
I am no expert. I am always learning to be a little better. The Crocs are the best camp shoes by far. I even use them to portage the canoe with a pack on my back. From lake to lake in the Boundary Waters. Thank you Hamwhacker for watching. I really appreciate it.
😂😂😂😂never shake the hand of a lightweight on trail! Best advise ever.
I seldom watch gear reviews but love your channel & haven’t watched in awhile. I’m familiar w/ all the gear & use my trusty cheap see-thru ziplocks.
Those sandals tough 😂 I think anybody wearing those has to be simultaneously smoking a bowl in GGG titanium one hitter or pipe w/ short or long stem. A new look for you - add a pony tail & slowdown a bit. Runners there. 😂
My two cents Marine! The shoes?/sandals were worthless😂😮😊Runner
Great job on the video since you were so lightweight. Maybe you should’ve carried some runner’s stuff😂😮😅
Guess what you are getting for Christmas?
Brother you've dialed it in. I've just been diagnosed with arthritis (old injury) in my right ankle and although I wasn't heavy before I am looking at super light weight now. Some great pointers here - it all counts. Thanks dude. I trust you're well. Mark
It is tough getting old. Lately I have been having troubles with my left ankle. I am not ready to slow down yet. So I just keep on moving. The old saying " motion is the lotion. Otherwise, everything is great. Just very busy. It is always good to hear from you. Thank you Mark for watching.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Yeah, it can be. Sounds like one of the solutions for your ankle is to go light as possible. And why wouldn't we as things creak a little? Yes, use it or lose it. Good to hear you're well. A pleasure as always. P.S just to say why I haven't seen your uploads - just realized after all this time that I can look into subscriptions and see who has upload. What a dummy.
Thanks for the info.
It’s nice to see an expert like yourself using some of the gear I have. Nothing like gear confirmation.
Number 1. It has to be very functional. Then I try to find the lightest weight in category 1. Thank you Barondavis for watching. I really appreciate it.
Another great video. Never seen the gear slinky before. Your always an inspiration. Thank you.
That gear sling from Dream Hammock is a keeper. Semper Fi my brother!
Little trick with the Sawyer squeeze: I fit their inline adapter on the outflow of the filter, and it pops right into the Smartwater sportscap for a no spill filtration😁. My luxury item: Onewind’s Gear hammock, makes for a very neat rest for snacks plus an off ground backpack and shoe storage at night under my hammock
That's a great idea! Thank you Matwinner for sharing. Very much appreciated!
had the same issue with my platypus ... Sawyer all the way
The most important thing on a trip is water. A unreliable water filter will destroy that trip. Now I know why they only distribute Sawyer Water Filters through out the world. thank you J3hikes for sharing that. I really appreciate it.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Oh man this is worrying, I'm doing a trip right in the heat dome with one of those this week! I had no problems with the wetting process when I first got it and another quick test of it just now. Either way, my buds will have sawyers just in case. Thanks for the tips!
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Would you consider a few water treatment tablets as a backup?
Good Morning Marine!! great video - lots of great info for those of us "older" persons looking to shed some weight when hiking about. "Bestest" part though IMHO was when you said "...and the cap, I didn't lose my cap" as the cap you placed down on the table rolled off the table. Perfect cinematography moment captured for YT.(‾◡◝)
When my wife watched it. She totally missed it. Then I thought I should of looked down and said ahhhhh... Or have done a close up of it rolling off the table. But you can clearly see it and hear it hit the table and roll off. Thank you Ken for catching that. I hope other will catch that.
👍 Very helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome! thank you ROE1300 for watching. I really appreciate it.
My husband likes your channel and wanted to show me your videos. They are great! What state do you live in? In one video the lake in the distance was like a beautiful baby blue color. Where I live, I’ve only seen brown lakes and the Chattahoochee River here is brown, too.
Tell your husband I said Thank you. I live on the border of Wisconsin and Minnesota. Next to the St. Croix River. I am on the Wisconsin side. As I am writing this. I can look out the window and see Minnesota. Most lakes up here in the North Country are are clear and blue. Some you can even drink out of with no worries. Thank you Gojolly63 for watching. I really appreciate it.
Great Video. Keep doing the things.
Always! Thank you Paemtff for watching. I really appreciate it.
very nice gear and well thought out
,I made a back pack this winter based upon a teton 85L pack with the underquilt, wind sock, hex fly, HH jungle exped, freeze dried food , gas one stove, kettle etc all comes to 35lbs
No skimping on gear for winter. Otherwise you will be miserable! Thank you AA1PR for watching. I really do appreciate it.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Always Brah, be safe
Sorry, it's a rain skirt. If it was a kilt, it would be plaid!😉
And also. You wear underwear under you skirt. Thank you Armchair_Backpacker for watching. I really appreciate it.
Hey, for a 6'2 guy, weighing 250 lb, how big of a hammock would you guess would be big enough for a permanent shelter? Was looking at the kingsize Ticket to the moon version, but 90 inches wide seemed a bit too much? Was also looking at Lesovik Draka (11 feet long, 60 inches wide), But those 60 inches seems a little narrow?
Yes im a total noob. Thanks. SUBBED!
A great hammock for you and one of my favorite and most comfortable is the Dutchware Gear WIDE Netless Hammock. When you get inside thar hammock. You are never going to want to get out of it. Thank you Antijab for subscribing and watching. I really appreciate it.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Thanks!
What size was your hammock? Thanks
12 feet in length and 60 inches in width.
Can you add links to the gear you use?
What I did is I listed the gear that I used and than I put a link down below of that list of gear. For an example. The longest list of gear has the link to Garage Grown Gear. They are a small cottage company that sells a lot of other creative cottage that makes some pretty cool gear. Check them out. You will be well pleased. Thank you Craigclarke for watching. I really appreciate it.
what it is exactly at 5:53 ? can you be more straightforward on this?
It is a small apparatus that fits on a water bottle. Instead of using toilet paper. You squirt water up your behind. To clean your bottom. I was a Scout Snipper in the Marine Corp. But I am afraid my aim is not as good as it use to be. Thank you Manreus for watching. I really appreciate it.
If you carry your waistband why not use it permanently?
With an ultralight pack. It is more comfortable not to use the waist belt. And only use the shoulder straps. Buy once the weight goes over 15 lbs. ( for me ). Then it is time to put on the waist belt. Plus taking off and put on the pack was so much easier and of course faster. Thank you Lukaass for watching. I really appreciate it.
What does the skirt do?
Nothing worst than wearing rain pants when hiking. Especially crossing a river. Like we did three times on that trip. The rain pants cause overheating and restriction on your strid when hiking a good pace. Plus they eventually cause chaffing. With the rain kilt. ( skirt ) Only the bottom of your pants below the knees will get wet. But if wearing shorts. That would not matter. Great air flow so no over heating. ( sweating ) And with the legs free and open. You still can have a great strid with no restriction. No chaffing.
Part two is coming out next Tuesday from our trip on the Centennial Trial. You will be able to see them in action. thank you Snodebbs for watching. I really appreciate it.
I don't understand what is the red thing in the poop pouch :/
You attach it to a water bottle. And than after your number two is done. You squirt the water up your behind to clean. People will use this instead of toilet paper. They are big in the European countries. Thank you Lecoachonsporctif for watching. I really appreciate it.
@@AdventureswiththeMarine Whaaaaaaat. I hope they use it in conjonction with toilet paper xd. I'm european and pretty old in the hiking game, never saw this. Personnally in the poop pouch i have a micro bottle of water + a micro bottle of liquid soap to put on the toilet paper to finish the job right clean.
Thanks for the explanation anyway, love your videos ;)
real men wear rain skirts, not kilts. 😋
That is funny. I had that rain skirt in my bin and not ever using it until this trip. Because of my insecurities. What a mistake that was. It really was a gamechanger on this trip. Now only if I can get Runner to show so knees. Thank you Higler for watching. i really appreciate it.
