It's a good tip, particularly if all you have access to are those big brand producers who vacuum pack the meal into a softball sized lump in oversized packaging that you can't flatten. But I just avoid those guys and stick with smaller brands that, in my opinion, produce better tasting meals with lower sodium loads and which are not vacuum packed....which means the dehydrated meal is not compressed into a immovable lump and the manufacturer packaging can be flattened a bit (e.g. Pinnacle, Good-to-Go, Packit Gourmet etc.). If I'm absolutely certain I'll be eating it on the trail I'll even open the factory seal and let some air out of the packaging which lets me flatten them even more. This eliminates the need to double the packaging/waste impact by "repackaging" an already pre-packaged meal in yet more plastic. I also feel a LOT more confident pouring boiling water into the the manufactures more durable packaging than I do when pouring boiling water into a store bought "baggie". (I'm particularly wary of it on cold weather trips where I'm likely to pour in the hot water then insulate the bag in a fleece hat or down jacket so it can re-hydrate for the allotted time without losing all its heat.)

Thanks! Yes, that seems like a good way of both saving volume while still keeping the original packaging. Good for many reasons! I guess it also depends on the supply of manufacturers one has in one's country and the availability of different types of food/packaging. But again, very good comment, appreciate it!
@adrian.inthewildАй бұрын
Very useful tip man. I've been struggling myself many times with food packing and volume, especially on longer hikes. I see two additional perks. 1 the ziplock bags will also close better after the meal and prevent spills of residual food into the backpack, and 2, back home you probably can wash and reuse the ziplock bags a few times (same microplastics issue). Thanks man!
@backpackingadventuresswedenАй бұрын
Thanks man! I was a bit concerned to say the least when trying to fit everything in as-is, together with everything else in my 55L backpack. I was amazed by the reduction in volume by just replacing the original bags. And yes, you're so right! The spills of residual food will be solved and the ziplock bags are for sure reusable. The manufacturer of the ones I have supports reusing the bags and it is possible to run them in your dishwasher as well! Thanks for adding some very valuable tips!

The standard version weighs 38.4 oz (1085 gm) and the Pro weighs 21.8 oz (596 gm) with tent stakes. It is a big hit in weight but the heavier standard version is double walled and more durable.

This reminds me of when I got started. My first gear was so heavy but has gotten lighter and lighter, so much so that I showed up for the USA Fjallraven Classic with a "heavy" pack of 9kg base weight, and proceeded to walk the trip in hiking sandals at high elevation. It still sucked because I'm not used to hiking over 10,000 feet but there were people there with massive packs that were struggling under the weight of them. I still like comfort and there are certain things I won't give up, for example, I'm never going to buy one of those Neoair's, they're simply too narrow for how I sleep. I did try in the past and I constantly found myself slipping off the pad. But this is a great example of how to reduce weight drastically with the big three. Next, let's see footwear? I've been hiking in barefoot style shoes now for over a decade because in 99% of cases for people, boots are wasted weight when all they need are a pair of light trailrunners.

Other than that I'm game. But hiking sandals? Tell me more. It sounds taking it too far!?

@@backpackingadventuressweden I've been wearing them so long I can't remember how long it took my feet to adjust but it wasn't bad. However, I was also in my late 20s when I went barefoot so my body and am now in my mid 40s. Barefoot shoes and sandals aren't really much different in ground feel. I wear the Alpha version of the Earthrunners for hiking and the Circadian for daily walking. Your feet will get wet, then dry very quickly although you do have to deal with stones between your foot and the sandal like all sandals. For barefoot shoes, you can wear a pair of gaitors to keep out the debris but don't worry about having waterproof shoes. As long as you're shoes are super breathable, they usually dry out within about 20 to 30 minutes of walking. I hiked the west coast trail in Canada which is super wet and a pair of trail runners from Vivo barefoot. I just walk through the water and keep going. Nothing wrong with having wet feet for a few moments, the key is always to have really breathable airy shoes that dry out fast.

The sleeping bag from Cumulus has kept me warm. The temperature has not been close to freezing however, maybe coldest temperature around +5 degrees Celsius. I'm a cold sleeper but it hasn't really been tested for real yet. The sleeping pad is ultralight and it affects the sleep comfort in my opinion. But still, it has been a great sleeping pad. On shorter trips I have now tested a heavier sleeping pad (twice the weight) and it is more comfortable. I will consider this for future trips, but for the longer ones I may still bring my Überlite because it is so small and light and thus saves me quite some space in my backpack.

Thank you for your kind comments Mark. I'm still a beginner. The videos on my channel is where I started. I have never used a video editing program earlier 😅 Still learning, but it's a lot of fun! And the Uberlite, agree, it's not bad at all. But it definitely needs the extra mouth breaths. But as you say, maybe that goes for all or most of the inflatable pads where you use a pump sack.

Thank you Mark, much appreciated! It' seemed to be a very small box, but luckily the tent is that small :)
