- Game Changers can be small, cheap and almost for free... or expensive as hell! Today about 4 pieces of gear that made a difference to me during 2022 and why I did them. Maybe this gear changes is something you should do too!?
I didn’t to many changes during 2022 on my gear set up, mainly because I god injured and couldn’t hike as much as i wanted but also other factors that the dollar got crazy expensive and the gear changes I wanted was mainly from US...more about that in a later episode.

I'm glad the changes made it better for you. It's always interesting to see what others consider necessary gear. Here in Florida staying cool is the challenge since it's hot most of the time. No down jackets on my lists. I pack Ultra Light so the Thermos is out , tossed. My coffee filter is light weight ( 1.27 ounces / 36 grams ) titanium form Vargo and reusable. It brews a great cup of coffee , just add the water slowly. I believe in Freezer Bag cooking so the cozy is home made to fit the freezer bags.
Nice job editing this video. However I must chime in here for fear others might get the idea that it's ok to deposit coffee grounds in the wilderness. Now, granted it might be different in Europe but for those in the United States let me say this.
I've been backpacking since the 60's. Back then the mountains were pristine... we could drink right from the streams and you NEVER ran into trash or T.P.. Now there are many more people enjoying the backcountry and we need water filters and often are picking up other's trash. We have to enjoy the backcountry responsibly or there will be no more backcountry. So, with that in mind, when you travel into the mountains please leave it at least as good as you left it. "LEAVE NO TRACE" means "LEAVE NO TRACE". So please, I strongly encourage people that wish to brew fresh coffee, to pack out their coffee grounds and PLEASE don't rinse your reusable filter in the creek. Doing so is indeed damaging to the eco-system.
Apologies Robert for posting this on your feed. I generally let things I disagree with go but this one required I step in.
First of all thanks 🙏🏻 and yea, I know different recommendations exist based on where you hike and although coffee grains ain’t directly harmful …in some places you should always bring it with you…hence the small but I hope visible disclaimer in the video.
When hiking in the woods I dump the coffee but out on the trail in the mountains I tend to bring it.
Always look at the local rules and regulations, and follow them.
@@roberthammenrudh Man, I'm going to sound like a jerk here so let me apologize in advance.
Coffee grounds aren't good for any ecosystem. Yeah, a small amount won't hurt I suppose but if everyone starts dumping grounds and washing them in streams it will damage the natural occurring pH and therefore damage the ecosystem. It's never a good idea to introduce foreign substances to an eco-system and assume "it's good".... Again, I don't know what the rules are in Europe. They clearly seem to be different but in the U.S., regardless of where you're traveling - don't pollute.
FWIW I used to fresh brew when I hiked in the Sierra but it was a huge mess and carrying wet grounds adds up over time so I bring freeze dried.
Again, sorry to be a jerk about this but you have quite a few followers and I wouldn't want them to get the wrong impression about coffee grounds.
Hi Robert, I like some of the little edits you do, such as moving the text with your hand gestures. Nice work.
Thanks 🙏🏻 playing around a bit at the moment and the text was one of them. Glad you liked it, maybe a keeper for future episodes 🙂
The coffee filter was a game changer for me too. The joy of good coffee, when out in nature is highly underrated. And my kitchen setup plus two 250 ml seatosummit cups still weights less, than the thermo bottle I used to carry. Plus the coffee is fresh and hot, not stail and lukewarm.
Glad to hear we had the same experience and YEA a good cup is so nice after a long day!! 👍🏻 🙂
You really have become great a presenting and editing your videos
A big thanks for such a nice comment, glad you like them 😊🙏🏻👍🏻always a struggle to shoot/edit videos and a long learning curve but slowly slowly getting slightly better at it and getting such a nice comment for it feels great! 🙂
I carry the coffee filter, but not for making coffee, I have it so I can pre-filter any water that might muck up my sawyer squeeze 😄
That’s also a good way of using it off course 😄less clogging 👍🏻
Nice video. Do you wear trail runners in spring/autumn Sweden? Not too cold and wet? How do you manage with the nasty weather?
Thanks….Yea only trail runners. If wet they dry during walking or during night. Only hike during 3 seasons so not winter even if it can be down to -5 on occasion.
No problems for these kind of temperatures in my experience.
What hoodie are you using ?
The blue one is the Arcteryx Delta LT hoody. 🙂
@@roberthammenrudh Thanks
Coffee may be a good fertiliser but that doesn’t mean dumping it in a stream is remotely okay!
So what do we say to all people cooking and cleaning their pots, plates and cutlery? Coffee grains ain’t that big of a deal in my opinion.
@@roberthammenrudh they shouldn’t be doing that in a wilderness stream either. At least don’t say “it’s harmless”. It’s not.
@@seankelleher4222 well I would say it is, unless you have a good explanation it’s harmful? I believe it’s more a “leave no trace” discussion rather than harmful or not.
@@roberthammenrudh adding extra nutrients to naturally low nutrient environments, particularly water environments, is harmful. In Europe it might not be a big deal often, but your audience is global. You made the original claim (harmless). The burden is on you to show that’s universally true.
@@seankelleher4222 following the local rules is every hikers responsibility but I agree I should have added that as a disclaimer. 👍🏻
Fertiliser can damage sensitive environments that are naturally low in nitrogen phosphorus etc it encourages weeds, best to take all of you rubbish with you. Thanks for the video I like the food cozy thing!
Yeah you’re right, some environments are more sensitive than others and one should follow the local rules and guidelines 👍🏻 didn’t make that clear enough. Glad you liked the video otherwise 🙂👍🏻

Jesus Christ, they don't have sissors where you live? Just cut normal filters to size?
Well that not very easy either because conical filters are not very common, or at least not here…most of them have a flat bottom!
The main reason here are the weight saving and ease of use and no waste. The filters just something I found a bit irritating 😄
Thanks Robert.

Ah ja det kan bli så när man inte har någon som korrektur läser. Ordlistan rättar en ibland och i detta fallet missade jag nog just det, just stavningen är lätt att missa!! Men tack 🙏🏻 kan tyvärr inte gå in och ändra dock!
Andemeningen går fram i alla fall! Bra redigerad video!
@@P.normal tackar 🙏🏻 och ja precis! Bara glad när någon säger till och engagerar sig 👍🏻
