Post Te Araroa Thru Hike Gear List 2020 - My 2020 Long Distance Hiking Gear

hello guys Michelle here in this video we're gonna cover my post yard or thru-hike gearless now if you for watching this channel for a little while you'll know that just before I set out on my team to thru-hike Taylor or I posted a gearless video right here on YouTube well by the time I finished hiking 1,800 kilometers of T at Aurora you can imagine that my gear had changed somewhat so in this video I'm gonna give you a full rundown of the gear that I finished Teodor and Northwest as a bit of an idea if nothing else of how a beginner through hiker can really get their base way right down to the minimum don't forget the full list of gear that I finished up t outer door worth as linked in the description down below if you want to check out more detail about the exact gear I used and the weights so first and foremost let's talk about the stuff that doesn't count towards your base weight and that is of course the clothes that I'm wearing now this basically did not change for the entire duration of my thru-hike I still finished off wearing this wonderful Columbia pfg button-down shirt which as you can see got some serious wear and tear and some serious fading from the harsh UV rays on the bottom I wore this wonderful pair of Katmandu trailhead hiking shorts for the most part which I've now been hiking in consistently for about two years and they're still standing up really well underneath all of that I wore a set of underwear and a crop top from the brand run der wear and they worked out really well and on my feet were a combination of engine G toe socks which really helped with my blisters and the most standard trusty smart wool socks and if you watched my video that came out last week on the gear that I ditched by the time I finished up the outer door you'll know that I'd switched out my hat to this lovely Mac pack and very lightweight bucket cap that I was given by my sister for Christmas if you've been watching my teredor thru-hike vlog series you'll know that by the time I finished up hiking I was wearing my keen targhee boots as with most true hikers once I hiked about a thousand kilometres I found that I really needed to swap out my Footwear I didn't want to do any long-term damage to my feet or my legs and I had always planned switching to my boots at some point so I ended up picking them up on my way through to the queen charlotte track in hindsight though I wish I'd known how different it was going to be hiking long distances and those particular boats even though I racked up plenty of miles hiking in them own day hikes over the last couple of years I'd never spent a full day in them before and I found them super hard on the soles and they rubbed my feet in all the wrong places I'd also failed to adequately plan for the shoe swap and instead of packing out some longer socks which came above my ankle and the boots I carried on wearing my smart wall low-cut socks which just didn't protect my ankles so in short on all my future long-distance hiking trips I'm gonna be sticking with trail runners if you've been watching this channel for a while you'll know that my pack of choice for the trail once the Z packs are cool I did an initial review of this pack before I started the trail and I will be doing an in-depth 1500 kilometer review shortly here on this channel I'll be doing full 1500 kilometer reviews of all my big three items a little later on this channel and if there's a particular piece of gear that you'd like me to review go ahead and let me know in the comment section down below I have been experiencing issues with my article for a few months before my hike began for one thing the torso length was slightly too short for me and the pack frame was also twisted which put too much pressure on one of my shoulders I'll go into more detail about this later but for now I'd say there I'm inish to work through these problems on trail without too much hassle and the pack was even starting to feel comfortable again by the time that I got off the trail I did notice some of the stitching where the side pockets attach to the pack at the bottom coming undone after only a few hundred kilometers but it didn't really have too much of an effect on my hike and I have now signed them out as far as my shelter goes you guys will know that I love and I rent and I rave about my Z packs to play extent and this thing I just could not be any happier with it was like a real home away from home it weighs basically nothing I think this entire package with the 10 snakes in it is around about 700 grams in terms of mostly system nothing really changed there either I still ended up finishing with my 10 degree enlightened equipment quilt which I packed down into the sea to summit waterproof compression set that worked out really well for me during the trail I know I had a lot of comments from people saying that I should basically ditch the stuff sack because it just wasn't worth the extra hundred or 200 grams with the weight but I have to say there were one or two occasions where I ended up fully submerging my pack in the water and some water did leak into it and so if I hadn't have had my sleeping bag in this waterproof compression sack I probably would have been in a little bit of trouble so I'm really happy with how this quilt worked I didn't end up cold at all on the trail and I really enjoyed using it and for my sleeping pad again I still finished up with my therm-a-rest NeoAir x-lite sleeping pad and rolled up inside there as you can see as the pump sac that comes with it what am I saying the pump sack doesn't come with it it's sold separately again I've had a lot of comments from people about dropping the pump sack to lose the extra weight but I have to say I really enjoyed using this and I really enjoyed the fact of knowing that I wasn't going to be damaging my pad from long-term use by building up the potential mold inside now as far as my tree ecology ultralight pillow goes I really enjoyed using this thing and I say that if you are just a little bit of a light sleeper you'd really benefit from having one of these inflatable pillows the only thing that I would say is that when I was going down the Whanganui River for some reason it just decided to stop working it just refused to hold here luckily for me Dad was carrying an identical trichology pillow which actually belongs to mum so when I lift him in Whanganui I was able to just take that with me for the remainder of the hike in the interim period I was actually just using the stuff sack that I was packing my sleeping bag into during the day and filling that with my down jacket and sleeping on that as a pillow but I have to say that it's not really my preference I do sleep quite cold at night so I like to have the option of wearing my down jacket and bed with me so that's not really a long-term option for me okay at least now cover my Cooke system and water now this pretty much didn't change at all during the course of my thru-hike I just made some slight adjustments to the equipment that I had in my cook system but nothing really major so I still ended up finishing with my homemade pot cozy this weighs something like 40 odd grams and I really did serve that purpose that I wanted to on the trail it helped me to conserve that a little bit extra fuel so I wasn't going through it quite so fast and it stopped me from having to actually boil and cook my food on my stove now it does weigh about 40 grams which if you're really going for an ultralight base weight is probably gonna break your budget and it was in need of a few repairs along the way I had to put a little bit more aluminium tape on it because it had basically broken and I had a little bit of an accident with my burner where I managed to melt some of it at one point along the trail but apart from there it really did do a great job no obviously packed inside my homemade pot cozy was my tokes titanium 900 milliliter pot and again I really couldn't speak any higher of this particular piece of equipment it weighs basically nothing and it is the absolute perfect size to boil just about a liter of water which is really handy if you are like me and you like to have your breakfast or your dinner with a hot cup of tea or coffee at the same time and speaking of having a hot cup of tea or coffee at the same time pack down inside this was my sea2summit collapsible X mug I would drink green juices out of it from a little powder mix that I was carrying with me I'd have my cup of tea in the morning in it and then I would usually have at least one or two cups of double-strength chamomile tea in it at nighttime or a hot chocolate or something like that as far as I'm concerned this is an essential piece of hiking gear and it will definitely be coming with me on future trips now pack down inside of that of course I needed something to actually cook with and that's where my MSR pocket rocket - stove came in handy I really enjoyed this stove while I was out on the trail not only is it very very light I think it weighs about 63 grams but it also packs down very very compact and I was able to basically stash it inside a little plastic pouch for most of the journey the only thing that I would say about the MSR pocket rocket too though and something that I got a lot of comments on when I was on trail is how loud it is once it's burning so in order to get the two-minute boil time out of it the MSR is very very proud of you basically have to open the thing right the way up and that means creating a lot of noise so it was a lot of about conscious of that and we're possible I tried to make sure that I wasn't cooking very very early in the morning or very very late at night now obviously to get that stove lit I needed to carry a little bit lighter with me and this is probably their standard size you can't really get the book minis here in New Zealand and I think it's basically still entirely full even after 81 days of hiking now some other little miscellaneous bits of gear that I carried with me actually inside my cook pot was this little towel here in this designated cooking towel now this one here I'm going to talk about first this is one of the sea2summit air light towels and it is absolutely amazing I picked this thing up in Hamilton on the way past it weighs basically nothing is incredibly absorbent and it dries very quickly so it made a very very good dish rag this little towel here actually started out as my dish rag but turned into just a little bit of an absorbent surface for me to pack my guest canister into because I found that I was starting to get rust rings around the bottom of my pot when my gas canister was getting wet in terms of my actual food itself I carried on carrying all of my food inside this large Zi packs cube of fiber food bag and this thing also was absolutely amazing it managed to fit up to six or seven days with the food and let me tell you I didn't really figure out how to condense my food bulk down during the entire course of my 81 days hiking it wasn't without incident though on my very very first day I sat down to have my lunch got my cheese and crackers out got my knife out put it all down on top of my food bag and cut a massive slit into the food bag so it's got a little bit of patching up but aside from there it's still functioned really well the entire duration of the hike now to eat my food I carried with me my trusty tokes titanium long-handled spoon super lightweight super versatile I didn't find that I needed a fork or a spork at all whilst I was going along and again probably one of my favourite pieces of gear now of course when you're completing a long-distance hike you really need to make sure that you've got some form of filtration for your water now in New Zealand this is a little bit of a controversial topic there are a lot of New Zealand hikers and trampers who knee ever filter via water but I'm not a person who wants to take that particular risk I have a very sensitive stomach and I just don't ever really want to jeopardize my hiking trips by potentially getting some sort of stomach bug so I carry with me this lovely soya squeeze water filter which is very very popular especially on the long distance trails in America I found it really really excellent I never found the flow rate to be suffering at all I did manage to keep it pretty clean as I was making my way down the North Island I kept it back flush to make sure that there was no buildup of sediment or anything actually inside the filter and I found that it filtered really well in fact I was pretty much filtering water from just about every single supply that I came across and lease it was obviously a town supply and if I was out in the middle of the bush I would use this soy a 32 ounce collection pouch to collect my dirty water and and then screw the filter onto the top roll it down into my clean water bottles and for my clean water reservoir I was carrying with me by the end of the hike this 1.25 liter pump water bottle now this is a BPA free water bottle which is very important to me and it basically weighs absolutely nothing now when I started the hike I was carrying 2 1 liter plastic water bottles with me and I found that there was a really good amount of water to be carrying at any one time because often there were longer distances between water stops further north on the North Island but as you start to get further south you often walking through forests or you're basically walking through urban areas anyway so the need to carry lots and lots of water with you by the time I reached the bottom of the North Island really became not necessary at all so that's why I basically condensed my water supply down to just one bottle as far as electronics go I was carrying this small sea2summit dry bag full of all my electronic equipment because of the fact that I was vlogging my hike along the way I was carrying a lot more electronic equipment then other hikers would be and as a result this little bag here weighs about a kilo which is a huge amount and what's in this bag is not even the sum total of my electronic equipment so what's in that little bag well first and foremost any good hiker even day hikers should always carry with them a hit and this is my black diamond spot headlamp now it carries three Triple A batteries and I only had to replace them once during my 1800 kilometer hike because of the amount of times I needed to charge my phone and my other recording equipment on the trail I carried with me this anchor twenty thousand one hundred milliamp hour battery pack and with that I carried the charging cable for it I also needed to charge my phone whilst I was on the trail so I carried an iPhone charging cable and if I was in town I made sure that I could connect to the standard supply by using the Signet power delivery wall charger and if you've been watching my episodes from the trail you'll know that by the time I finished up in Wellington I was carrying my dad's iPhone 6 as my main form of communication and the reason for that was because my iPhone 6 plus ended up taking a dip in the Whanganui River now again if you've watched the original gearless video that I posted before I started my hike you'll know that I was carrying with me at the start a Joby Gorillapod tripod now I have my doubts about that tripod before I started because I had read quite a few reviews saying that often the league's on the tripod would break off I think I managed to get about three or four hundred kilometres before the first of my three tripod legs broke off and by the time I had reached Hamilton the thing was basically completely broken because of their over Christmas I picked up another cheap tripod with flexible legs but I have to say this thing turned out pretty much useless as well the head on it is not particularly stable it wouldn't lock into place and so whenever I would put my phone in there it would basically just end up falling back like this because the phone was too heavy so this thing basically got trashed this thing basically got trashed and for the remainder of my hike down to Wellington I just didn't use a tripod at all and the final item of gear on the electronics list that I was carrying were my Apple earbuds these ended up functioning as both a microphone and also by the time I reached the end of the trail I was actually listening to audiobooks on a regular basis now how does one keep oneself from smelling really bad on a thru-hike well long story short is you can't you are always going to smell but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't still some toiletries with you and it's also really important to carry a first aid and repair kit and I carried all my toiletries and my first aid and repair kit and thus sea2summit dry bag now my entire toiletries slash first-aid repair kit dry bag ended up weighing nearly a kilo and that is far too much but I have to say I really struggled with culling items from that bag as any good hike assured whether there a through hiker or a day hiker you should always carry a decent first-aid kit and this is mine it weighs in at about a hundred and fifty grams and it has everything that I need in there it also includes some repair items I won't bore you with going through everything that's in here but basically I have any personal medication that I need any sort of painkillers like ibuprofen and paracetamol I have a tube of voltaren mu gel which was really good for the pain and moenay's and also an antiseptic cream then on top of that an assortment of anti histamines plasters antiseptic wipes and dehydration sachets in the back of the pack I was carrying my therm-a-rest NeoAir pad repair kit and I also in here had a little roll of duct tape rolled up with a needle stuck in there for emergency repairs I also carried some floss which had a double purpose of not just being floss but also potentially being used to sew anything together that needed to be sewn alongside that I then also had a separate plastic bag which was just full of my actual toiletry items so in here I have my toothbrush my toothpaste some earplugs for those awful nights where you'd be sleeping and a hut or some other communal facility with hikers that snored I had some nail clippers some eyebrow tweezers a little brush with a mirror attachment which I used every day and then also some panty liners which are really great to make sure that you don't have to wash your underwear every single day I also can't stand having any sort of regrowth on my legs or under my arm so dude carry a very lightweight razor with me and then as the final item in my first-aid kit i was also carrying this small roll of Luca PLAs tape which came in really handy for sorting out some of those blisters and raw patches on my feet by the time I finished up in Wellington now if you've been watching this channel for a while you'll know that one of the biggest things I like to make sure I'm doing as following routines whenever I'm away from my normal everyday life so on trail I made sure that I was always carrying with me a little bit of soap this made all the difference to just making me feel better at the end of a long sweetie awful day and also to really get me off on good footing at the start of the day now in addition to that I was also carrying this small little bottle of dr. Bronner's castile stove now this can be used for pretty much everything I used it from dishwashing liquid to basically doing laundry with it whenever I hit a town it can also be used to wash yourself probably to wash your hair it just has a bunch of different uses and I think in future this will be all the soap that I end up carrying to tell myself down after I'd had a shower I ended up switching from the concoction of a couple of yellow household dusters that I've made to picking out one of these in Auckland as I pass through and this is a larger version of the sea2summit air light towel that I use for cleaning out my pot again love the thing it actually got me dry and I was able to dry my hair with it too which was a bonus now on top of that I also carried with me my trusty little spray bottle of Metro foam stress maid relief spray and this thing you can tell was really really handy because it is basically empty I used it every single day I didn't really have any panic attacks at all on the trail which was perfect and a couple of miscellaneous items so I always make sure to carry with me a survival blanket wherever I'm going even though this was a little bit heavy and one of the things that I picked up about three or four weeks into my hike was a set of pigs now these are just standard cloth pigs but they came in really handy and because you're only carrying a limited number of underwear and clothing you really want the opportunity to be able to rinse those out and hang them out to dry at the end of the day so these came in really handy for that on the outside of my pack at all times I was always carrying with me some sunscreen the Sun here in New Zealand is so incredibly strong that you really must make sure you're always applying sunscreen even though I basically figured out by the end of the trail that was contributing to the heat rash that I suffered with all the way as far as actually toileting goes I think I'm pretty standard I always carried with me a spare roll of toilet paper and my juice of space trowel although this thing didn't get any use while I was on the trail now again if you know me and you know this channel you'll know that I had a massive phobia of long drops before I hit the trail so I always made sure that I had with me a stash of compostable doggy Doo bags and I would just leave it up to your imagination what happened with those now in a separate little plastic bag inside my pack I was carrying with me my spare set of clothes that all consisted of basically a spare pair of socks two spare pairs of underwear I also carried a couple of spare handkerchiefs I use these instead of using paper tissues and therefore I made a lot less waste on the trail I also carried my Outdoor Research Sun gloves I have to say though I didn't use these as much as I would have liked to on the trail I found that they made my hands ridiculously hot and that that basically contributed to the general overheating of my body I also carried with me a beanie for those really cold nights and also a set of these Reb powerstretch gloves which I only actually wore once on the trail it just never really got that cold I slept in this pair of matte pack Pro through more leggings on the bottom and then on the top depending on how cold it was I also slept in my Mac pack long-sleeve theorem or top or even though I took a spare cotton singlet with me on the trail to hike in I found that I just wasn't really wearing it during the day and I didn't really want to get it sweetie so this basically ended up as my sleeping top which I would wear underneath my Ironman Sugoi long-sleeve basically fleece top this combination worked really well and kept me really warm even during those really cold nights on trail once I got back on the trail after leaving to go home for a couple of days once I'd reached Hamilton I picked up this pair of bike shorts from home now I decided I just wanted something a little bit different to hiking on the bottoms that I wasn't always wearing my Katmandu trailhead shorts and they were really handy but I will also found that I was basically sleeping in them as well I don't think I'd carry these with me again on the trail though it's just extra weight and there wasn't really any need to be carrying them for my warm insulated jacket you guys will know because I've done a review on it before but I was carrying my Mac pack ice fall down jacket obviously I couldn't have gone without this on the trial that performed really well I'm so happy with that and I'm glad that I spend that extra money to get an 800 fill down jacket instead of the standard 600 or 650 fill because it really helped to keep me warm on those very borderline cold nights and there were a few of them as far as rain gear goes I finished the trail with exactly the same gear I started with and that was my backpack Traverse jacket and my Mac pack hightail pants so before I started I got a lot of comments from people asking me why I was taking such a heavy waterproof jacket with me and suggesting that I switch it out for a lighter weight alternative so my feeling was always there we have much harsher conditions here in New Zealand than you'll find on some of those overseas trails and I wanted a jacket that I knew would keep me dry an hour after hour of pouring rain and which would stand up to days and days of hiking through prickly gloss and unmaintained trails and the traverse jacket really did that very well I would only start to feel the damp or cold coming through after many hours hiking in the rain and towards the end of the trail I was also really glad of its wooden breaking properties so in short I think I definitely made the right choice with my jacket as far as my hotel pants go though they did have a little bit of an incident just north of anunnaki when I went sliding down a hill on literally the first day that I had to wear them on trail and put a massive slip down the back of them so they actually ended up finishing the trail heavier than they started because I had to duct tape up the holes in the back I was also really handy to carry with you an extra pair of footwear that you can wear around camp at nighttime and you probably remember that I picked up this pair of Crocs sandals before I started the trail was really happy with these I knew that they would be heavy-duty they were incredibly lightweight they basically weigh nothing I think about 200 grams it also turned out to be really handy because by the time I finished up the trail and I was having all those issues with my keen targhee boots I was actually starting to hike in these throughout the day as well very comfortable very light and I'd highly recommend them now I mentioned before there were a couple of times when my pack ended up being submerged water and there were also a lot of days on the trail where it just rained consistently all day so it was really important for me to line my pack to make sure that I was keeping my gear as dry as possible and I ended up just using a couple of standard bin bags for that purpose the ones you can get over here in New Zealand are not particularly thick they're not like the compactor bags that you can pick up in the USA so that's why I ended up double bagging them but they served as a really good liner to keep most of the water out when you consider the fact that I have a very water-resistant pack which has been seam taped okay so I'm now just going to go over the miscellaneous other items that I was carrying usually this would either be in my hip belt pocket or just attached to the outside of my pack somewhere so let's cover first where I usually carried in my hip belt pocket so usually that would be my phone my headphones my microphone then I would also carry my buff inside one of my hip belt pockets and it's because you know I would generally use this pretty infrequently actually on the trail but when I did want to use it it was always after I'd started hiking so I didn't want to have to put my pack down and then go rifling through it to try and find it and so I generally just use it to keep the hair out of my face or on mornings where it was just a little bit chilly and I wanted to keep my ears a little bit warmer I also carried my Gerber Mick knife most of the time in my hip belt pocket rather than actually wearing it around my neck and it was because it was it's a little bit heavy it weighs about a hundred and forty grams and just wearing it around my neck became a little bit awkward sometimes I'd sort of have to attach it to the sternum strap on my pack so that it wasn't swinging forward and backward all the time also I'm a hip belt pocket by the time I finished the trail I had managed a cotton on to the idea of carrying a small lightweight shopping bag with me but I just never factored in when I started the trail the fact that when I got to towns and I needed to resupply with groceries and lunch supplies that I was going to have to carry them from the supermarket to wherever I was staying at night New Zealand's of plastic free country now so we don't have plastic bags or anything to pack all about groceries in so I wish I thought of this a little so now by the time I got down to Wellington I'd finally cottoned onto it but it's just really handy to have a nice reusable bag for heaps of different uses when you're on the trail and of course hygiene is super important on the trail so I always made sure attached to my packs and where was this little tube of hand sanitizer now of course this has now become like gold and so it's almost impossible to find and I liked it because it's got a little lanyard type thing so I can just attach it to my pack means it's always handy and I wasn't even scared of just getting it out and using it and finally in my hip belt pockets I always carried my little lip balm here and this one in particular which is the Sun lip balm it has some UV protection in it too which was really good for that sunshine outdoors attached to my pack I also had my Garmin GPS map 66 I again in hindsight I'm not sure that I would necessarily go with this particular model again I thought it might be a good idea since I wasn't carrying proper mats to have a backup navigation system in case my phone died and I couldn't use the t-i app or gut-hooked guides and given the issues that I did have with my phone on the trail I think it was a really good idea at the end of the day though the main reason that I chose this particular model was because of the inReach functionality because of my anxiety I just wanted the peace of mind of knowing that if I had a massive panic attack when I was on my own somewhere that didn't have any cell reception I could at least send a message to my parents and hopefully I'd be able to calm myself down from a safety perspective I also liked Garmin's map share tracking functionality and the breadcrumb trails so I was able to stand a special minute link to my friends and family through the GPS so that they could log in at any time to see my exact location even though it was a bit more expense to spend and I probably could have achieved the same thing with a slightly smaller model like the inReach many I really still enjoyed carrying the Garmin GPS map 66 I and I can see how it would have potential for my hikes the future I also carried with me the ACR risky link beacon which I managed to actually hire from a local outfitter here in my hometown now many people asked why I was carrying both the beacon and the GPS so with the Garmin GPS map 66i I knew that if I had to push the SOS button right here on the side when it was actually sending their emergency signal it would basically seem to via the USA or a global system where it would take longer to actually get back to New Zealand search-and-rescue now probably in reality is only a matter of a few extra seconds it could even be as much as a few extra minutes but I just didn't want to take that risk so I did decide to carry that AC our rescue link beacon as well I knew that if I push the button on that beacon the signal will go straight to search and rescue services right here in New Zealand and I'd be able to get that help that I needed a little bit quicker a couple of other miscellaneous items that I had attached to my pack included this little safety whistle always good to have some extra safety precautions and it weighs nothing so it doesn't matter and then somebody put me onto a really good idea that I was saying that I didn't have a good system for storing my pack inside my tent at night time and somebody quite rightly identified that I'm using a duplex and that I'm using my two trekking poles to support my do play extent and that they have little loops on them and so what I could actually do is use a little carabiner like this one and attach it to the little strap on the back of my backpack and then basically hang it through the loops on the trekking poles and that meant that not only could I store my pack outside the fly doors at nighttime but also that it would be lifted up off the ground - and that came in handy for a number of reasons firstly the ground usually always got wheat at nighttime so at least I knew my pack wasn't going to be damp in the morning but secondly also rodents now that's something I'm going to cover in a video a little bit later on this channel but in New Zealand you always have to be wary about things like possums and rats stealing your foods now one piece of gear I carried with me all the way and I cannot believe that I nearly lifted at home before I left as my therm-a-rest zz8 I loved using this thing I literally used it every single day it was particularly handy if it was a cold day or a wet day we're sitting on cold or wet ground was just absolutely miserable probably another one of those pieces of gear that I'd say is non-negotiable and finally as you guys will know if you've watched these videos previously I took with me the Cascade Mountain check carbon fiber trekking poles on my journey with me and I am super surprised at how well they stood up considering they just cost me 45 US dollars and they lasted the entire way the tips on them are still really good I was using the rubber tips for a little while until I lost them just before all Clint the only thing I would say is that the quick lock mechanism on them did start to come undone towards the end of the trail I'd say probably within the last four or five hundred kilometres now I could have rectified that really easily just by doing up these little nuts here but I just got lazy and I didn't really have the tools so I just put up with the fact that over the course of the day the trekking poles would start shortening on me the other thing is that the cork grip on one of the handles did start to wear away and it was a little bit annoying that started happening very very early on but the other one was perfectly fine so I think it might just have been a bad batch of cork thank you guys so much for tuning in to watch this video on the gear that I finished out it all worth if you've got any comments feedback or suggestions I'd be really happy to hear that so leave it down in the comment section down below and while you're there don't forget to hit the like button and subscribe because those two things really do help me to support and grow this channel right here on YouTube now next week I have a little surprise for you going to be stepping away from the gear for just a second but then the week after we're going to come back and I'm going to show you exactly how I packed my pack on the trail stay safe and well at home during this time of coronavirus and I will see time [Music]
