Hey Pie, I noticed license plates attached to backpacks on several videos. Could you tell a story that's behind it?
Great overview! Totally dialed in!
Congratulations on your CDT through hike, much respect. I use a Zpacks 20 degree quilt now but before that I always used a sleeping bag. So like 45 years I carried a sleeping bag. In colder weather i still use a sleeping bag and I can highly recommend a Western Mountaineering 20 degree UL sleeping bag. Mine is about 11 years old and it’s In perfect condition. The zippers never snag and I have never been cold. I don’t have to wear any additional clothing to reach the 20 degrees comfort level. Take care and thanks for taking the time to show us your gear list.
Good to see you! Looking forward to your upcoming videos :)
I followed your hike on Insta..the film y'all were putting together by 3mph is gonna be awesome
Best of luck with the PCT 👍🏽👣👣👣👣👣👣🏔
Great gear review. Cheers
Good video! Congratulations!!
Love the breakdown, very helpful. A tip about chafing from a fellow chafee; Try wearing biker shorts, or spandex boxer briefs. The spandex will go between the afflicting areas, reducing friction and wicking away perspiration. Also, what's the deal with the license plate?
That shirt looks nice ! Might have to order one
Congrats on another thru Pie! Vans where actually my first shoes I hiked in when I was getting into it. Terrible shoe for hiking but not skateboarding lol. I've never used a dig tool since I always use my trekking poles. Do you think it's worth it?

Good work. Thanks!
I too cut that damn net out of the swim shorts.
Love to get the feedback from a finisher! Thanks for making this. Makes me feel better about my gear choices too haha
Congratulations. What did you wear for pants during the cold days of Colorado?
Excellent breakdown, you're articulate and get down to what's important. A few surprises in there, e.g. from quilt to mummy again. Congrats on another thru hike, seems like it was amazing. I hope we can work out a hike together over here in Scandinavia sometime, it was a shame that meet up didn't work out before. Take care and keep up the good work!
I agree there is a gap for UL zipperless bags in general, both mummy and also hoodless. Glad to hear you're still down for a hike mate, and agree with your observations. I think you and I were the only serious ones in that meet up, as we learned at the end the hard way. But yeah, I'm all about sticking to plans! Mo' peeps, mo' problems. I'll drop you an email shortly with the plans for 2018. :)
it turned out well. Come visit
You should check out the Feathered Friends Flicker 20 quilt if you're looking for a new bag. It's similar to the Enlightened Equip convert bag, but it seems to have a better build quality and it's cheaper and lighter. It's capable of being used as either a quilt or a sleeping bag depending on the temp, so it's extremely versatile.
I was just wondering how that pack stacked up against the OHM?
Try a BRS 3000 stove, cheap on eBay and only weighs 1 oz / 28 grams
What's the story on hanging the license plates off packs on thru hikes? Where did this originate? Is the weight worth it?
Curious to hear more about how you carried/protected your camera along the way during bad weather? How did the A7Rii hold up during your thru?
I used an RX100m4 during the GDT this year, and it was easy to protect due to its size, but wanting an upgrade I ended up getting an A6500 and a couple good lenses. Worried I'll damage it though, and considering (got it second hard for a steal so wont be a loss) switching to Olympus for its weather sealing.
pieonthetrail Thank for the response! Ended up getting an E-M1ii to replace the A6500. Think its way more dependable for weather sealing and I can be confident I won't destroy it haha. I'll take a look at the keyhole though! I think I'll use something like that or a fanny pack to carry the camera while hiking.
pieonthetrail I've recalling been wondering how cumbersome a full bodied camera would be on a thru hike. Currently, I have an A7ii, and it seems it may be a pita to carry. The keyhole looks great - definitely going to check it out. Would love to see you do a video discussing the subject of photography on trail.
what hat are you wearing? looks nice and breathable
#Pieonthetrail Which visa can be used as a Brit? I am going to Iceland, then Toronto and was looking at doing the AT. Ty in advance
@@pieonthetrail Thanks for the info, I have used that before for Camp America, it includes a visit to the embassy in London for an interview. I hope it helps others to know this and I really appreciate it ty and happy travels. :)
@@pieonthetrail I was at Camp Newaygo, Michigan. I really miss it, it was a long time ago now. We hiked and camped on North Manitou Island, much recommended.
Sounds like a nice London/Aussie accent you got there !?
Enjoyed the vid
Chelmsford,Braintree,Basildon ?!!
Assume you are an Aussie now...good onya if so .
Me, Grew up in the suburbs of south London...now a free ranging travelling bum !
Keep on walking man.....
@@pieonthetrail Thanks for the video mate, which type of visa did you apply for? Asking as a Brit. Thanks mate.
@@pieonthetrail Absolutely would love to do the AT or PCT at least. But I am disabled as well as mobility disabled, so very difficult realistically, but still planning, maybe a few more years, but definitely something I want to do, it will help me a lot getting out and taking on the adventure.
Why didn’t you say how much it weighed
Euroschimm I think is the name
Yes, I like it. Keeps the sun off while hiking in the open and works pretty good in the rain. Just watch out about the wind taking off with it.
Don't throw those clothes away. You can show them to your kids!
Let me guess with water 30 pounds
Lol bear spray will just piss a grizzly off
