But I guess if you usually expect to carry 45+ lbs than perhaps it’s a better option. I rarely carry that much weight except in winter and wouldn’t typically recommend others carry that much weight and I’m not particularly “ultralight” either. Lol.

    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.

    • @hawkerbabe
      @hawkerbabe Pƙed 3 lety +9

      I went with the Frogg Toggs XTreme Lite. At $35-$40, and 7 oz for a Men’s S, it has performed well with the feel and durability of a “real” rain jacket, as opposed to the “disposable” 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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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 they’re 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 😂

    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.

    • @jays7318
      @jays7318 Pƙed 3 lety

      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

    Awesome video! I really appreciate how much work you put into it. I have a buddy who’s just starting to get into backpacking and I’m going to send him the link to that tent you mentioned. Looks like a great bang for the buck tent!

    • @MrCYCLESMITH

      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.

    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 😆

  • @samb4577

    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.

    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.
