The thing I love about your channel, is that every video I watch I feel like I'm hiking up a trail with a friend. Quality content my friend.
Thank You! Glad you dig the videos!
Just excellent! Really enjoying your vids
I'm an addict. Thanks for the gear update and change-outs. Looking forward to the Uinta Videos. Thanks for the work and for sharing what you are doing. Cheers
The highline is a hard hike and can offer some very interesting weather in the best of times. I've never completed it all the way thru but someday I plan to. Looking forward to the video!
The Uinta’s are my playground!! I’m headed there this week!! Glad to see you hiking in Utah, and I love you’r videos you’ve taught me so much!
You are looking fit Darwin!!! You truly know how to do it. Hope you are successful with your remaining hikes. Hike on friend
Yes it does. Thank you for all
Loved the video! I'm starting a solo hike of the Highline Trail tomorrow morning and I'm so stoked! Bummed I can't meet you out there but I'm really excited nonetheless. Really stoked for your Highline video!
Have fun!!! 🤙
Thank you so much for adding Full Weight for this video! I have often wondered how that compares to your base weight, and how your gear list might change for a multi-day trip wherein you are not going into town (helpful for planning extended weekend trips ie Labor Day as well). As always, coming to your channel I enjoy learning something new in a really approachable way.
Planning to do the Colorado trail in 2021 and can't wait to see your experience with it!
Love these gear vids, makes me want to try more stuff
Can't wait to see the Uinta Trail videos. That part of Utah is so vast with some amazing views.
Great list and a light pack list! Thanks for sharing 🤠🤙
Thanks dude, appreciate ya!!⚡💜
No problem 👍
Great recommendations. I took some of your advice and got some great gear.
Always fun and interesting. Lots of informations. Thanks for sharing
Another awesome video your presentation is like you are speaking one on one to your audience. Take Care
I used the Uberlight pad on the JMT. I ended up blowing it up 5 or 6 times every night for the last week or so.
I have been using UGQ quilts since the AT. I know the owner Paul personally and the level of customer service i have recieved is outstanding.
Good Luck on the Colorado Trail buddy.
Put the Uberlite in the bath and it will help you find the leak that you definitely have
My troop is looking at doing this in 2022. Loved the video!
Always informative 👍
love it. if I get a chance to listen to some music when on my hiking trips I always choose music like Delta Parole or Guns N Roses, the rawness is the best with nature.
Perspective. You crack me up. You’re like I upgraded to my big sunscreen & you bust out a tiny lil stick 😂 love your content
I did the Highlilne about 5 years ago and my starting weight was 35. I brought 6 days of food even though it only took us 5. Can't imagine doing it with only 20lbs. Luckly I have been able to lower my base weight quite a bit since then. I want to do it again and try to do it in 4 days. It's a great trail, I must have just missed you. We were at Dead Horse Lake on Sunday July 19th. Nice to see the Highline trail get some recognition.
\m/ rock on Darwin. I'm a audio engineer by trade who has recently gotten more into ultralight hiking due to a lot of your help and others like my girlfriend's brother. He actually did the highline trail a couple of weeks ago as well. I lost my job due to the pandemic. I saw that you also used to mix (or still mix) for bands and such. Very cool man. I'd love to hear some of the projects you were involved with! I was on tour with K. Flay and Donna Missal personally for the past year out in Europe, UK, and US. Great videos man! You are truly inspiring! Keep up the great work!
Very informative, thank you for the effort you make.
Glad to see things are coming together for post-virus adventures!
Trying to get what I can in. 🤙
I ordered my custom Enlightened Equipment Enigma quilt almost 10 weeks ago based on your recommendation. Can't wait for it to arrive. I'll be test diving it on the Section L of the PCT up here in Washington!!
great video mate!
Great video, thanks for the hoodie links
Good to see you at the Waymark shop.
I switched from my long sleeve silverridge for a OR hoodie on the CT last summer because of all the exposure. at the very least it saved me a ton of sunscreen but I felt like it breathed so much better. I would definitely recommend the sun hoodie baseball cap combo
Great video as always. 😊
Another nice video . JIC it might help you . My son did 3 days in the Maroon Bells a week ago . It was getting down to the mid 40's . Also BTW . Montbell makes the best rain jackets out there for weight and waterproof / breathability ratings . Oh , and bears are very active around there . One got in a house that week in Snowmass that week :D Be safe out there and have fun .. gubs
The UHT is in my back yard. Looking forward to watching the hike videos (assuming there will be some). Was planning on starting at McKee Draw this year but had to get ready for the JMT and my IT Band has been flaring up too much to squeeze both in. Hopefully next year!
I’m hitting the Highline Trail in a week and two days. I’m hoping your trail report drops before I head out. 🤞🏻
I watched Amy Routt walking in the Uintas last week. looking forward to your take.
Ya buddy, here come the Uinta videos. I hope you had a great time up there! It's my favorite place on earth. Can't wait to see how it went.
STAY TUNED!!! 😉
@@DarwinOnthetrail Sheesh! 20lbs for 5 days! Nice dude. My last was 30 for 4 days, which includes a massive .44mag. (I'm Utahn, ha ha) I need to watch the resupply vid you linked to get a refresher on the food you take. Also, the best bug repellent on the planet is the Jungle Juice from REI. It is a death wish going into the Uintas without good repellent. One question, are you going to share what you did to map the route?
Thanks super informative. .. Been weighing out the Visp. 😊 Here's a few odds and ends that I've discovered. Sponge cloth by If You Care. Super thin sponge as a camp towel. They are 9 grams /.3oz but I also cut them in half so half that. Great for absorbing tent condensation and general use. Around home, too. Excellent around sinks. Compostable but last for months of regular use. And dry super fast. For a toothbrush I use child's size from Sofresh. It's not mushy like a soft or kids brush. It's called a flossing brush and gets in between teeth better than anything else I've tried and has a grip gaurd in just the right place to cut it down. They have skinny necks. Cut down...not all the way in half is 11 grams or just under .4oz.
I'd recommend the sun hoodie for the Colorado Trail. You're going to be exposed at much higher elevations for a lot of the hike and we have lots of strong sunshine every day.
Ditto - I just finished the CT and I used the Patagonia Sun Hoodie and it was awesome, many many exposed miles above tree line.
I highly recommend a north face drizzle rain jacket. At least for summer I swapped to a 5mm closed cell foam pad for pure ease of use
Thanks for the calorie count and the bug warning. Doing that trail next week!
Awesome job.
Very informative... got some good ideas.
Hellou from Finland. I like your hiking videos and thanks for very inspiring chat
Thanks for watching! 🤙
Hey Darwin, looking good! Could we get links to the cap and shirt you are wearing in the video as well? Also, will we get a longer review of the new Bandit with a comparison to the Enigma at some point?
20lbs! That’s awesome 👏. It’s almost like hiking with nothing at all!
UGQ Bandit XL ... awesome quilt
Always love gear lists thanks, that charger looked a little large for you. I think there are 1oz 18W chargers in $15 range now
It's because it's a PD Charger. Need it to internally charge my cameras batteries 😉
i also have a ugq xl bandit and i love it
I love the Uintas practically grew up in those mountains. If you’re ever in the area again check out Red Castle Lakes its serously the most gorgeous place I’ve ever seen. Looking forward to your highline trail videos
You should check out the Voomi River Run Hoodie, so great for the sun! Wool and doesnt stink!
NOTED!
Thanks for sharing Darwin! Great video as usual. Do you find switching from IF to trail meals and snacking taxing on your system? Do you change your at home diet a few days prior to prepare your system for a few trail days? Thanks in advance for any comment. Be well everyone.
Woah, 11 lbs with your camera! Haha, warm weather is nice.
Love ugq! Only issue I've had is the wait, but hand made high quality gear can't be overnighted lol
Been following on your Facebook page I finally found! Lol. Looks amazing out there.
For sure it was!!!!
About time you went back to UGQ, way better than the EE quilts.
Very cool that you gave the Bandit another try. Did you get the side tensioning option? I have that on a quilt and it provides great adjustment to really trap in warmth when it is cold vs loose when it is not.
You probably know this, but wetting out is a function of the hydrophobic layer wearing off or not being applied properly at factory. If you just get some more (Nikwax is a brand, tons more) it'll come out like new.
REI here I come!
Hello Darwin I'm a larger man and walking shorter distances but I still get out there and do 5 miles once a week. I've been subscribed here on your Channel for six months now and am now dreaming of a vacation we're all I do is walk around and camp. The amount of distance traveled for me would never be the goal just getting out there and being in nature and away from everything just looks like that most absolute best time. I have seen you do small video segment on medical on the Trail such as taking care of blisters and proper wrapping. I would like to make a request, a video that details your medical kits and it's different uses. Thank you so much and may your time on the trail be everlasting.
Nice vid again.... how long did it take? You’re editing and filming is so good!!! Still learning how to do all this.. 😢😢
Good video, still need the one for last week. JK, keep up the good work.
Hey Darwin, awesome video! Quick question: have you tried and/or had any luck with taking small amounts of picaridin for buggy trails? Have heard of people using those but dunno how effective they are. Hike on bro!🙌🏼
Your videos are the best!
Awww... Thank You!
Can you review indonesia ultralight backpack ? The brand is kalahari. Thx you Darwin,
Ive been following you for a while now. Ive noticed your diet on trail change some to more quote unquote healthy options. Have you ever considered, or know anyone of your caliber, who eats a ketogenic diet? I dont have many miles under my belt hiking, but find I can go longer farther with less food, because of ketosis, both hiking amd everyday living. I feel one would have to be somewhat creative on longer thru hikes with re-supply. You always strike me as someone who looks for advantages and I believe ketosis is definitely one to consider. My 2 cents. Thanks for the great videos! I really appreciate what you do, and respect your advice and opinions.
"It was wetting out on me." If GoreTex ever does that, they replace it for free. A little heavier, a lot pricier--but cheaper than buying replacements!
To anyone doing the UHT I strongly recommend taking the bypass through Lightning Lake instead of following the official trail across the bottom of Rock Creek. Maybe this is common knowledge. I wish that was the official route. Some of my favorite scenery in the Uintas is on that bypass.
Will you be showing a Highline Trail video? I've hiked most of it but had to leave because of HAPE, the same thing that happened to Joe Valesko.
What do you think of the Great Western Loop and do you think you will ever attempt it?
When are you planning to do the Colorado Trail?
I didn't realize you were gonna come up and do the high line I would have loved to jump on trail and hike that out with you. I have been following your videos for a while and yours have been instrumental in getting me on the trail for the 1st time this year. Would you be intrested in a hiking the taho Rim trail next summer?
Curious your thoughts on Lightheart gear sylpoly rain jacket?
I just started using a fanny pack. I am a fan. I'll keep some camera equipment and snacks in there.
You cant beat the weight savings of the uberlite. Not nearly as many miles but I've had zero problems
SWEET!!!!! 🤙
Great video, have you ever thought of thru hiking the Tahoe Rim Trail?
It's definitely on my list!
What size is the Visp Rain Jacket? I'm the same size as you. Lg. or Xl. not sure.
Hi Darwin, I'm lazy. I'd rather not take a GPS, but fine with a map and compass. Is the trail obvious enough without a GPS starting east side of the 100 miles, especially on that side where it isn't well marked for 20 miles?
I'm 6'3" is the UGQ xl long enough at 72 inches or is it better to get the 78 inch upgrade?
I would recommend taking the app hoodie to Colorado. It can get to the mid 40s deep in the mountains even mid summer.
As someone who hikes Scottish mountains, 7c isn't much. A hoodie is one approach but more importantly anything that stops the wind chill. Providing it's not below freezing mostly a simple windcheater is enough to turn a t-shirt from a near-death experience to a lovely day out.
Darth KEK the wind isn’t bad here though. It gets gusty above 12k feet but it doesn’t have much bite to it. Only time I worry about an actual shell outside of a froggtogg here is during ski season.
@@jdude9922 fair play, thanks for the insight. Different conditions different kit. :-)
I love gear list videos lol. and it reminded me i've got a few 20$ coupons from rei :)
NICE!!! 🤙
Thanks for mentioning your coupon, I have never stepped foot into REI, but.. I probably could lighten my wallet at that place!
I sometimes go a local shop called The Alpine Shop, I almost forgot about it, but they gave me a coupon last time I was there, I read your post and immediately went to find it!!
Have you tried the salmon version with olive oil?! Just as tasty and more calories!
Oh dude! You already did it?!? Did you go East-West, or West-East? Very much looking forward to seeing it. I'm going up into the High Uintas tomorrow through Sunday.
I sure did! Stay Tuned for the Hike Videos! 🤙
Darwin onthetrail so you went both east West and West East 😂
Definitely interested in that trail, did you guys just stage a vehicle at each end?
Got dropped off & hiked back to the car on the other end. 😉
How you pack your sleeping pad?
Why do you prefer a quilt? Weight? Comfort?
Darwin, I’m doing the trail at end of August. First stretch has a 15 mile dry bit. How much water did you carry at a time after that first stretch?
I am curious about water resupply as well.
8:45, hahaha, that face!
😳😳😳😳
How many days did it take you to hike the Unita trail?
What backpack did you use?
👍👍👍
Mosquito wipes? Never seen that. Is that lighter than bringing a spray? You’d still have to carry the wipes out.
What took so long on the full weight? I always figured 2lbs per day and less.
Great video.bro just a question.when you walk in the trail 22 miles in day, usually how many hours you walk and how many you relax?what is your day program in trail?
Every trail is different, but I too am curious what a ' typical " day might be like .
@@leftycut1 agree is not only the trail.The weather, the physical condition, psychology.
Will you post videos from the Highline trail and Co mtn trail?
Oh Yeah!!! Stay Tuned! 😉
Stay away from the Uberlite. I had two. One was fine. The other developed 4 holes in first 2 nights of a week long trip (2 on each side!? No I don't have pine needles in my tent). I know how to place my tent. One out of two pads definitely defective.. 4 additional nights on the cold ground. Back to the Xlite.
Pretty nice gear. What was the lense you had over the go pro 8
ND Filter from FStop Labs 😉
@@DarwinOnthetrail is it a polorized one or just a darkening filter. I have a huge problem shooting outside with blown out skys looking for something to calm it down
Why does the sun bother your ink?
I have a pair of darn tough socks and I heard you can get them replaced if they are worn out. how do I do this

Where is the Uinita trail anyway? This is the second video I’ve watched to find out. I would have watched anyway.
