Enjoy! :) Dave
Thank you so much, David, for your report. it was wonderful! I hiked the TMB in Jun/Jul 2021 and again in 2022. My key items were: (1) a washcloth that is terrycloth on one side and mesh on the other. The mesh gives you a really good scrub down when you shower after the day's trek. I felt so clean afterwards! (2) Flip flops, lightweight, rather than crocs. This saved weight and they cost less than $5 US. (3) A book to read. it was nice to unwind in my bunk at the mountain hut for a while before and after dinner. I would choose an older, small and lightweight paperback mystery to save on weight and space. (4) Sea to Summit dry bag, different sizes and colors of different kinds of items. One was my "evening bag" and held my paperback, ear plugs, head torch, sleeping bag liner, and phone (alarm clock)--basically the things I'd need to settle in for the night.
Two T-shirts and two slips are optimal. Change in the evening and wash the used ones while showering.
I'm doing this on the 30th of June over ten days, we are camping though. All carrying one man tents.
Bag liners are mandatory in huts. Get a light one made from silk.
Really nice vid as always! Keep up the good work.
This is great - loved the full film also, so thanks! Subscribed
thank you- good footage~đ
Thanks mate!! đđđ
Good information đđ»
Thank you đȘđ„ł
Maybe a stupid question but did you fly out from the UK and if so, how did you get the various items (scissors, trekking poles etc.) thru in luggage? Having had tent pegs/penknives confiscated before am always intrigued. + its a worry checking the bag as hold luggage without securely wrapping. Great channel content BTW!
I honestly didnât have any issue coming through customs! But thatâs a good point, I doubt theyâd let you take tent poles through if your unlucky! Thanks for the support pal! Iâm struggling to figure out what the next step of the channel is now, but Iâm enjoying the journey! More hiking content soon! Focusing on stealth camps right now, but will get back to my roots soon !! Cheers Dave
Thank you for this!! Which month of the year you went to TMB please?
September amigo đ
Were there any snowy patches you came across in September where you would recommend packing cleats/micro spikes? Weâll be on the main trail for a majority of the time, with the exception of the FenĂȘtre dâArpette variant. Thank you!
It was just at the last mountain peak before descending into Chamonix! Bring spikes you wonât regret it if you run into snow đ
Since when is 2 years old for a jacket?
How much was the weight of your backpack? I'm going camping and I'm an amateur vlogger and at the moment the weight of my backpack is 15kg (which decreased 400 gram of food / day). I'm doubting if this is really too much weight or ''maximum amount weight that is okay''.
The lighter the better but yeah mine was about the same amigo!
what about boots ? thanks
I did it in trainers!! Trail runners
I would disagree that buying âmore expensiveâ is always better. You could easily do the hike in more budget friendly gear (eg Decathlon), and be just as comfortable. You really donât need Pradagonia caps, or Nike undies etc, non brand stuff will do the job just ad well
PLEASE convert units in kilograms as well
Get some rainproof trousers for keeping you dry and warm in bad weather at high altitudes.
Which month did you hike?
The timing you hiked is useful for better understanding and preparation. Thanks.
September đȘ
