IF THE DROP.COM BACKPACK IS OUT OF STOCK, HERE'S THE SAME PACK FOR A BIT MORE ($150) STILL WORTH EVERY PENNY đ bit.ly/2OdUbSJ This list legit took me 6 months of shopping, buying, and using. Hope it helps!!!
The GG Crown X(or V) 60 is a great pack! I agree. Iâve been using it for 2 years now. I definitely stand by it!
I use the Blaze which I am pretty sure is the Crown without the brain. Might be a little cheaper! Google Granite Gear Blaze
Granite Gear Blaze 60 weights 3 lbs but carries 50 lbs
It comes with a lid
a much better choice than the Crown that will not carry heavier loads
@@neemancallender9092 Mine didn't come with a brain/lid but you could buy it separately. I might get it someday, but I'm fine without. I love it. Great pack, great price.
@@neemancallender9092 Iâve used the GGcrown60 with up to 45lbs with no real issues. It also comes with a lid that can be removed. But I guess if you usually expect to carry 45+ lbs than perhaps itâs a better option. I rarely carry that much weight except in winter and wouldnât typically recommend others carry that much weight and Iâm not particularly âultralightâ either. Lol.
But HYOY!
Keep Moving Forward!
Done car camping my whole life, getting in to backpacking for the first time. I think I've seen you more in the last week than anyone else in my life lol.
Same here lmao
Bahahaha⊠this is me. Monday -âwhoâs this backpacking guy?â Saturday âDan-o my man ! â
Same. Lol
Just bought my first bag today. Been spending a lot of time here
Haha same! Different styles of camping here. Love our Jumping Jack toy hauling tent trailer. New to backpacking so we've been watching all his videos. So helpful AND with links! đ
I'm trying to get into backpacking and this was very helpful, thanks man
Youâre welcome!
Have you tried it yet
Did you smoke any rawog420 on the trail?
dude weed is so sick make sure to bring some weed to smoke on the trail dude itll be sick man
Jeez chill out kids! To each their own, no need for the childish bullshit . . .
Iâve come back to this video numerous times already-itâs gold. Iâm building my kit and ordered the Paria tent (2P for my wife and I), the quilt (I went for the 15 to stretch it to a 4 season quilt), and hopped over to Decathlon for the jacket.
Thatâs awesome to hear! So glad itâs helping you. I put a ton of work into finding all that gear so itâs nice to hear itâs actually worth the time and effort :-). Hope it all works out for you! And you and your wife enjoy your trips!
Get a higher R value sleep pad. The Kylmit wonât go near 30
Dan, you did all my research for outfitting a new backpacker. Thank you!
One of my wife's co-workers is 18, she's done some car camping and day hikes, and now she wants to backpack the PCT. My wife offered my help in building skills and collecting gear. Your list is a perfect start that won't break the bank and some pieces can trade out for ultralight when the time is right.
I've been using the Paria 15° quilt for three years and love it! Great to see them repped here!
Unbelievable the pricing for the budget ultralight stuff now. $700 for a 12lb weight is amazing. I love your picks here. The only thing I would personally upgrade is the rain jacket, I'd much rather have a slightly heavier rain shell that's a bit more durable.
I went with the Frogg Toggs XTreme Lite. At $35-$40, and 7 oz for a Menâs S, it has performed well with the feel and durability of a ârealâ rain jacket, as opposed to the âdisposableâ feeling of the Ultralite. It also breathes better. Well worth spending another $20 or so to get a rain jacket that works as well as my expensive jackets every did, is super light and will last several seasons.
@@hawkerbabe the sizing is a bit iffy on the small at least
â@@hawkerbabe what model are you referring to?
I have several of these products (pack, pad, stove, spoon, pot, rain jacket, medical kit, pocketknife, filter) and wholeheartedly agree with most of these recommendations. A great idea for a follow-up video would be "what might it cost to upgrade a few products, and what would the effect be on the base weight?" Upgrade the Sawyer Mini to the Squeeze for a bit more money and a bit more weight. Upgrade the pot to a Lixada (or equivalent) titanium pot for a bit more money and some decent weight savings. Upgrade the quilt to a Featherstone Moondance for 25% more money and ounces of weight savings. By the way, I'd love to see you do a review of that quilt if you might get your hands on one. I wonder if there's a straightforward way to get to 11 pounds for $800? Heck, this could be a series - 11 pounds for $800, 10 pounds for $900, etc.
Thanks for the review! Glad you like the Trek 100 Down Jacket :)
Damn, getting a comment from Decathlon USA - nice work!
Decathlon USA thank Justin outdoors channel that's how I originally found your trek 100 jacket. This is a great video. Hope the prices stay low.
As someone who motocamps. I've found your videos extremely helpful. You always help me find gear that is reliable and compact
I HAD A PIECE OF GEAR BEFORE DAN!!! I found the ozark trail spoon a while ago! I love it!! I've been using the brs stove and Stanley Cook Pot exclusively for a while too!! Great options!!
Great list! I've picked some of this up over the past few months in anticipation of my first camping season. I went with the Feelle Solar bank and a Suaoki lantern as well. Both have come in handy already dealing with constant power outages. Stay safe!
Thanks for this list Dan! Great suggestions and a realistic price point for folks who are ready to take the plunge into backpacking.
Your vids are always a joy to watch and eminently educational. Well done Dan!
Great list. Only change I would make is from Sawyer Mini to HydroBlu Versa Flow. Exact same size & price but a better flow rate. Good find on that jacket!
If you achieve a higher flow rate with the same size filter, it's definitely not filtering as well as the Sawyer..
Great information! There are SO MANY gear options out there! Thanks for making this video.
Excellent information and suggestions for gear. I've been backpacking for years and wish I had seen something like this when I was first starting out. Thank You!!
Super helpful! Definitely helpful to get a solid recommendation for some of the things Iâve been looking for. Weâre having to adjust a little bit because weâre family backpacking with littles, excited to compare the packs!
Great guide Dan, and the editing in this one was next level!
Thank you sir. I was looking at down jackets and didn't want to blow a ton of money and ended up going with the decathlon. I been binging a ton of your videos lately stacking up on some items for the upcoming spring/summer. I really appreciate you doing all this! The videos are great and really helpful. I saw your latest video of you hiking out of the canyon and having health issues, sorry to see that and am glad you are ok. You are making a ton of good content, I hope all this pays off and you make a million dollars, you deserve it, you seem like a down to earth dude. Cheers bud.
This is fantastic! Really, really appreciate this list, Dan. I've been watching a bunch of your videos before I head up into the Uintas and now I'd wish I'd started with this one and saved myself some $. I love that everything on your list comes in at 12 lbs total. Thanks for what you do to educate us newbie backpackers. I'm starting at 55!
Some great choices! Thanks for posting this great stuff for beginners. You are the best!
I think you should have recommended the standard size sawywer squeeze tbh. For only a few extra grams and $15 more or so it will save you the headache of that flowrate imo. Great lineup - would be nice to see more budget clothing in another video perhaps
Good thoughts!
Years ago I went on my first camping trip without testing out my new water filter beforehand đ live & learn
If you are having a hard time with a Sawyer mini, listen to this podcast called "Backpacking Experience" on Dec 20, 2020 it is with Travis Avery of Sawyer. He says that if you are having flow problems then you are not back flushing rigorously enough. He says that the filter element is extremely durable and to push the water through harder. You can find the podcast on Spotify. It is an awesome interview.
I agree. I hear people having nothing but problems with the mini. I have never had a problem with my mini, but I do back flush the dickins out of mine after every use.
I can understand spending the extra $15, but a few more grams!!! No thanks đ
Thats a pretty good loadout. Thank you for the effort. I'd like to add a new perspective. The costs that we are all referencing. You have a nearly complete loadout at about 12 lbs. When you add in the few things you didnt cover your still going to end up with a fairly heavy pack....at 700.00. My former passion was the NFL. 700.00 would cover about two games with parking and tailgate. I live in San Diego - Im surrounded by folks that go to the desert for their fun - the quads the motorcycles trailers gas generators. If you do nothing but cycle you would spend twice this loadout price on a decent bike. What about you boat owners. nuff said. Hunting?
point is that backpacking compared to virtually all other life hobbies is cheap at its most expensive. What would you have to add to this load out to go from 30 to 20 lbs (all in). Maybe 400.00 would put you in the best gear out there. even if it was doubled. 1500.00 would last you years in this hobby. I think its that we have a hard time paying the price simply because we have a history of prices to compare it to. How do I spend 600.00 on a tent when theres one for 100.00.
Now thats a video - compare the price of a great gear loadout with other hobbies. I'll bet its cheaper than 6 months of scrapbooking.
Everyone have a great day. Dont look at the news. and hug someone.
I can say the Paria Bryce tent is great! I have the 2p because I was traveling with 2 60lb dogs at the time. The 2p had enough room for me my dogs and my gear. I have been using it for 4 yrs and it is holding up great!
There's the tent review-4 years use with big dogs and still holding up is fantastic!
I've used the 1P for two years and Dan is right about the size. It is more like a 1.5 than a 1P. That's my go to tent for backpacking. Too bad he didn't talk about the lifetime warranty or their customer service.
@@gregmortonoutdoors I have been thinking about getting the 1P tent. I have one but literally no room for my gear. There are times I can't take my dog and considering doing the Wonderland Trail around Mt Rainier
First backpacking tent was the Paria Bryce 2P and its still going strong. Love it!
Wow! I really appreciate all the work you put into this list.
Here's a great little tip... the Energizer headlamp is the same one I use, Energizer makes a case for it that turns it into a lantern that can be hung and it's only about $7.00. It's definitely a convenience item and takes up some space but it protects your headlamp and adds functionality and I don't have to pack a separate lantern for my tent.
Im new to this world and trying to hike this summer you help me a lot thanks Dan!
Wish i saw this video first. It would have saved me about 100 hours of watching youtube because this is exactly what Ive been looking for to start buying some first time gear. Thanks brother!
Fantastic video as usual, Dan. Very helpful!
Super helpful list Dan. Great place for noobs to start and I got some great ideas as someone thatâs been at it for a few years as well. Cheers man!
Thanks so much, awesome video with plenty of info and the best bang for buck gear! Keep up the great work!
Differently a good list! Thanks for taking the time to put it together
Working on getting back in shape and plan to get into backpacking next year. Love hiking, and have been dreaming of multi day trips all year.
This list is really helpful as someone needing ideas on what Iâll need to get in advance.
Hoping to do North Manitou Island next Summer
Hello Dan we hope all is well . we sure wish we could get out and about. seeing you set up is really making us a little jealous right now. we cant even go camping unless we have our own toilet as the facilities are closed :( we sure cant wait to get back out there. we really appreciate all the knowledge and information you bring. Stay safe Love and Light Sarah and Glenn
Very good finds and useful items thank you very much for taking the time to do thisđđđđđđđ
Thanks for taking the time to put it together !
Dan, found your channel recently, I donât backpack but I do camp off my motorcycle so most of your recommendations are well suited for my solo camping off of my bike. Having less weight on the bike is a huge plus especially if I drop it đ , thanks for your assistance!
Wow, this video got me some ideas I didn't think about at all before. Very cool. Need to go shopping before next spring
Many good choices and very helpful for beginners. Also useful even for some of us who already have a full set, to think of replacements but don't want to break the bank
Many many ideas here for equipped and not so equipped hikers. I love these kinds of videos. Need to take our eyes off the big guys. Lots of great products out there not so well known.
This was seriously an awesome video!! I am looking for a new lightweight tent and possible some more camping essentials and wow some great tips and recommendations here! Thanks
This is honest & quality informational content. Excellent video.
Really good information. Thanks for sharing.
Great list!! Thanks, very helpful
As someone who plans to hike in the warmer seasons and not in winter I feel like I could change some of the items out, but otherwise awesome video and thanks for all the recommendations!!
Great list! Thanks Dan!
Thank you for the puffy jacket info. Iâve got the Mountain Hardware, but wanted an economical version for my son who will grow out of it in a year. I clicked on your link and bought one for the amazing price of $79!
Iâve said Iâd never get into backpacking and would stay dedicated to overland/car camping but my friend convinced me to try it out. When I started buying camping things my intentions initially were to get into backpacking so I had mostly everything. Just ordered the last needed things and were planning a trip soon. Looking forward to new expeditions and trying something new!
I don't comment often BUT...amazing video. I have been watching your channel for a while now as I am getting my gear set together for my first backpacking trip. I find your content so informative and guiding for a green trail junkie like myself! I'm definitely a budget guy! My first longer hikes will either be the Lost Coast Trail or Trans Catalina Trail. Also on my radar are the Rim to Rim Trail of Grand Canyon and Tahoe Rim Trail!
Thanks Dan, that was really helpful.
Thanks for the tip on the sleeping bag!
Thanks. Nice choices.
Really well done Dan!
This was really helpful. Thanks!
Very informative video, really enjoy watching the videos you post on your channel.
Great gear!!! You are fully right about the Decathlon Trek 100... Love this jacket
:)
Thank you so much for videos like these I'm the person that really enjoys and loves these videos.
Great video Dan and awesome find on Drop! More people need to be tuned into Drop for awesome deals!
Great video Dan!!
Great video Dan as always! I have almost everything I need for first time backpacking and I think Iâm sold on the Granite Gear packs from what I saw they have limited lifetime warranty meaning lifetime warranty to the purchaser of the pack unlike some cottage companies. Cant wait to hit the trail with the new gear! Your videos and input has been a huge help to saving me and family money and getting quality gear right off the start. So THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Very interesting choices. Especially the spoon. Thanks for that heads up. I need something that is cheap and actually works well for backpacking.
It's cheap, but it's a bit too bendy IME.
Very clear and precise information>
Thank You Mr. Becker
Thatâs it... this video is so all around good, Iâm subscribed!!
Love the vids Dan. I ended up buying and loving a UGQ Quilt and the pillow you showed here, all on your recommendation.
See ya on the trails đ
awesome list great info thanks dude!
Good job researching the options! Makes me sorta wish I didn't already have everything. No telling how much more I spent! đ
Just recently found your channel and this video is gold for someone like myself who is always looking for the beat bang for the buck or budget finds. Too bad Walmart killed off the Ozark long spoon. Now theyâre on eBay for $3-5 unless you get lucky.
Started off with a similar set up and that exact Paria Sleeping bag. Did me well for a long time as I slowly upgraded gear over the years.
Good set up Dan! I got my wife the static V insulated and she loves it and we have taken it out in Feb in Ohio and did just fine. Like the OZ trail spoon I have one too it's great đ
This was an excellent video. I'm always looking for new gear to try. I will definitely try out some of the items. Thanks for the video.
Good new style of editing, Dan đđŒ
I would suggest a sleeping bag if your going to use the Klymit pad. Quilts don't really go good with them. Since the grooves are designed to trap the loft underneath you. You will have a much warmer sleep with a bag opposed to a quilt. That said they are good pads but most of the complaints about them are from quilt users.
Agreed, except I'll add that I don't find the Klymit pads that comfortable. The Paria Outdoors Recharge is a much better budget choice. It is warmer and more comfy
This is a great list, Dan! All quality gear that will last a long time as well!
Such a great video, I love this great information, so helpful.
Thanks Dan, all your videos are great , honest and enjoying time
My favourite headlamp is fenix .. Actually, I love all fenix flash lights
Awesome video! I really appreciate how much work you put into it. I have a buddy whoâs just starting to get into backpacking and Iâm going to send him the link to that tent you mentioned. Looks like a great bang for the buck tent!
Agreed. Wish it wasn't yellow. Why do tent companies do that? Why not green, brown or gray.
@@MrCYCLESMITH Agreed... I'm a stealth camper, and I'm tired of having to consider camouflage netting for so many of the tents on the market.
Thank you for the update and info
God's Blessings on all your adventures
Just found your channel, been years since I camped and this is being very helpful, since I want to moto camp on my motorcyle, so need back packing gear to pack on bike.
DB has the best video advice out there
Outstanding video. Thanks
I think the list is very nice and I am sure very helpful to those starting out. Good job
Yes great to see it!! I just got that exact spoon ON SALE for 50 cents. Grabbed a few, like when I say Just got, literally 30 mins ago. Stoked, slowly gathering gear
Great timing on this video! Iâm trying to help some friends/first time backpackers get geared up for the summer months.
NICE! Excellent group of products- thanks for putting this together. I love the sleeping pad! We use the hit or hike pad and have enjoyed it- the uber pad sounds like it seals the deal! This tent sounds like all dream ...course we have a family so that one person aspect wouldn't work ⥠I mean...unless I put everyone in their own, which sounds pretty nice actually đ
Dan, you have great videos dude, keep it up! I really like this list. For the sleep system, Paria is the BEST bang for the buck, but I would have gone with their 15-degree quilt. I own it and it rocks. Just my 2 pennies.
Super helpful video!
Great job as always
Great content as always Dan!
I agree with the Paria Outdoors gear. Really good gear at great prices. I have the exact same tent and quilt in a bug out but also have their Sanctuary Sil-tarp which is an awesome lil shelter if paired with the right gear.
Energizer head lamp is amazing I use it for everthing. Got one strapped to my hard hat for work.
Thanks. Good info.
Happy Easter Dan.
Thanks Dan, I love these contents
Iâve had the Bryce 1P for a while now and love it. Great tent. Handled high winds and rain on Grassy Ridge Bald on the AT just fine for me.
I've used mine for two years in 4 seasons. You won't find a better one for that price with a lifetime warranty.
Thanks again Dan. I ordered the jacket because of your insights
Amazing. Thanks!!
This was a great informational and entertaining video
I appreciate you being serious about modeling that jacket.
