- I love gear but making this type of video can be very complicated and time consuming. I want to keep making them each season and improve.
By making this video, I do not mean to imply my gear is better than other gear. Each hiker has a unique set of needs and tastes. There is a wide variety of good gear available.

Very complete list. You can tell you’ve been refining your list as you gain experience. Like that tip about putting a hand warmer with your batteries. I’ve had mine freeze on the way up/down Franconia Ridge.
Looks like your cat wants to go camping with you (or at least help you unpack each time). 😊
Yeah, it's funny how sometimes a battery will be low/dead from the cold but revive after time in your warm pocket. But the hand warmer and insulated pouch do help keep them from tanking.
Thanks for sharing your kit. I have a lot of the same gear. And I'm happy to have found you and know I'm not the only woman who likes winter camping. 😆
Awesome! Thank you!
That was great thanks for sharing. Loved the cats making appearances. Great comparison with the sleep systems with your husband. I used to be able to sleep with just a foam pad but now I need an air mattress to not wake up with a stiff back. You may want to add in some nail clippers to your first aid kit, they come in very handy sometimes.
Oh, thanks. That is a good tip. I always check my nails before going out but I can imagine various problems could arise where no other tool could be as helpful. I will add one!
Good video! Pretty sure your husband worked down the hall from me lol
I have the same pack, it's like a wall. I can't see people around me easily. I use it when hot tent camping. Fun video, btw. Thanks for sharing.
My husband also has that same pack. How could they stop making such a great bag?
I’m new to hiking and backpacking. I’ve watched all your videos and learned so much. The last warm spell I stayed at Barnes Field which I learned about in one of your previous videos. Many thanks!
That is awesome!
I’ve found your videos recently. I really like them and your demeanor while on trips. I also solo hike a lot in the Whites. Your videos are great for while I am working, but wishing I were out in the mountains.
Thanks! It's cool to experience the act of learning and capture and convey that in video format. When I look back at my older ones, I am amazed how much I didn't know that I didn't know.
Beautiful work my friend, enjoyable and funny! 👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate the positive feedback.
Love the split screen aspect. Also hate when I forget to try new gear lol
Yeah, it's easy to buy something and imagine using it, then being so tired out there that I totally forget I have it!
Love the pack. I started with Camptrails external frame pack and used it for years, never failed. Still use it occasionally.
I never even considered an external frame pack until wearing one. Then I wondered why they aren't equally popular. I like both types!
This was great. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment.
I have that same cup and I love it
That company hit the jackpot on this mug design.
.. Nice loadout ... gear changes over time ,, your carrying what works foy YOU ... Especially in winter ,, you have to be warm and comfortable or there won't be a second hike/camp ... over time ,, gear choices get more expensive but time and observation helps to make choices .... once I find what I need/want ,, weight does not play a role ,, it is what it is ..... Have also used a double sleeping bag system in past ,it works ,, but would never NOT use an air pad ,, winter or summer ,,, old bones and joints need the cushion ...
Yes, that's right - personalization is the way to go. I agree on the air mat and feel surprised some people don't need one.
S.O.S for whistle one long blow then two short blows and one long blow again
Oh! Thanks. One long, then two short, then one long. Oh man if I ever panic I'm sure to mess that up.
you got this. something that i tell others to help them remember the signal is to write it on their gear itself weither its the head lamp or the flashlight itself. i teach them the 1- 2 -1 rule you keep your light on and you use your hand to cover it. and move your hand away from the light itself to make the signal instead of turning the light on and off itself. stay safe out there happy trails!
@@RachelWhelton ...just carry a gun ....three shots ...
Well done!! Appreciate the comparison between preferences of sleep systems at the end.
Which stuff sack do the cats go in and do you take one or two? 🐱😉
Ha ha... the cats, yeah... They are characters. They enjoy coming out when I work in the garden but they zoom back into the house as soon as I do. They do like tents, however. Whenever we air out the tents in the backyard, the cats are quick to go inside of them. If the doors are zippered shut, the cats go UNDER the tents!
I'm in the market for a winter tent. What brand / model tent you are using?
Slingfin Crossbow. It is a great tent but I think I could have gotten by with a much less great tent. I could probably have done this whole winter with my old summer tent. However - now that I have this great tent, I love it. Having a very warm sleeping bag is MUCH more important than the tent.
Thank you so much. We've stayed in trail shelters with our bags down to 20F. Next season, we're looking to start winter tent camping.
