Hey Indy, love the vids and found them for your TRT content. Planning on that hike for me next year! A few thoughts (I did the JMT and Uinta Highline Trails this summer): If you are going to use a quilt, I don't think your foam bad is going to be the best option. Quilts work best inflatable pads in the sense that they are a system that needs to work together, as you know. I am just not convinced a quilt will keep you warm on a foam pad. Tent: I used the Zpacks Altaplex (I'm a little taller) but the Plex Solo may work well for you. Relatively small footprint which wasn't a problem for me on either of those two trails. CNOC Bags: Awesome! You can also choose to have one of your bottles as a dirty bottle and use that to get water in tougher/shallower streams. Cold Soaking: 100% agree with you. Food for me on trail is very practical/pragmatic. Pack: Sorry about your pack. I've enjoyed the zpack Arc Haul and ensuring my waist straps are snug. Good luck on your choice for a new one, shopping can be fun! Socks: I love toe socks too! I bought a pair of XOSkins from Garage Grown Gear and they worked for the ~350 miles I did this summer. I'm gonna have to buy me some of those portawipes, never heard of those before. They look great! Thanks again for the videos, they've been fun to watch.

@@ColbyPark-dj6zx Hello! Thanks so much for the comment! I was actually wondering myself about the quilt / foam pad combo and if that would work. I hadn’t researched it yet. So I wonder then if it’s worth getting a quilt if I need to add weight back for the pad? The JMT is at the top of my list, after I finish the CT. Did you go NOBO or SOBO? I’ve heard NOBO permits are easier to get. I hope you have a great time on the TRT next year! Desolation for me truly lived up to the hype. I’ve been looking at the zpacks tents, I’m guessing that is the direction I will go. Getting weight down seems to be a challenge for me. And it’s not the number per se that I care about it’s how it feels on my body. It’s encouraging to hear when people are successful with cold soaking. I think I’m going to do it! ☺️ I’ve thought about the one water bottle as a dirty but I like to keep my water stops to a minimum but I guess I could just drink from the dirty through the sawyer. I haven’t done that but see people doing it sometimes. Definitely something to consider. I’ll need to check out those socks! Happy hiking! Thanks for watching!

@@hiking_heather With the sleep system, you may be able to see how much weight you save going with a quilt and what you'd add by picking up an inflatable pad. The Thermarests can get quite light, but the lightest ones are hard for me as a side sleeper! JMT was amazing. I was able to go SOBO from Happy Isles (Yosemite, the golden ticket!). I did it with my 15yr old son which was a fabulous experience and such an amazing trip! There is so much water on the JMT that you can literally just carry 1 liter almost the entire time (depending on what month you go I guess). Just put the sawyer onto the bottle and dip it the streams. It can work if you are ok drinking through the filter (which isn't a bad option, IMO). Curious if you'd possibly do a "Logistics and Planning the TRT" video? I know you can just do the entire trail without a permit but may mean you have to do Desolation in 1 day (~30 miles?). How does the TRT Society do permits or through the Desolation? Lots of questions I'm trying to find help with on KZbin. Anyway, fun to watch your videos! I'm now considering the CT, but I don't know if I can do it all in one hike which makes me sad! I'd prefer to try and do it together, but that may just not be feasible unfortunately with my work schedule :( Keep them coming!

@@hiking_heather I think the permitting and longer water carries are where I am most concerned/have questions. What options are there for those longer stretches on the East side? 1. Just carry a lot of water starting at X point and ending at Y campground. 2. Pay for or create your own water cache at X and Y locations. 3. Do a REALLY long day from North Kingsbury (?) to Spooner, Marlette, or even Tahoe Meadows? I feel like food resupply is pretty straight forward with South Lake Tahoe and Tahoe City but maybe there is something more/different?

Thanks for your gear review. I hiked the CT by segments in 2020 and found that I was just too tired to cook food after a day of hiking. So I switched to cold soaking for breakfast and dinner. Lunch was dried fruit and nuts or a raw bar. For 2-3 day hikes in sunny and warm CO weather it worked really well. To keep plastic waste at a minimum I dehydrated my food before a hike and then mixed various ingredients together, Powdered peanutbutter and coconut milk were key ingredients. I use pockets for everything: watterbottles on a shoulder strap, two pockets on my hip belt and I bought a hiking skirt with at least 6 pockets. I love organisation and this works so well for me. Maybe I ought to change my trail name to "pocket", haha. My pack is from Zpacks and my sleeping quilt from Enlightened Equipment and I love both. My pad is the same as yours. My pillow is from OutdoorVitals. My water system is heavier, but it works well in shallow water, so I am sticking with it.

I think it’s interesting to see what everyone uses and likes or dislikes but end of day it’s so personal. I also like to be organized ;-) and use stuff sacks for that purpose as well.

Great gear review! You are going to be changing quite a few things. I used your same tent and BV on segment 24-28 of the CT in August. I also carried too much food. I am going to try the BV450 to reduce weight and volume. My backpack is the Flash 55, which is not ultralight, but I thought it was very comfortable. I wear the Topo Traverse for hiking and on the CT, and I really like them. I have worn Altra LP also and the rock plate in the Topo makes a big difference when hiking on rocky trail. I used the BeFree 1L and I liked it better than my sawyer mini. The 1L bottle is the perfect size for a dirty water bottle, is easier to fill up than a smart water bottle, it collapses and I can drink from it through the filter. Cheers! Add: I forgot to mention that I cold soaked 100% on the CT. I soaked oatmeal or lupini flakes with protein powder, green powder, peanut butter powder, olive oil and dried cranberries. Each soak had about 500 calories. I am a very easy eater, so my food choices might not be for everyone.

@@xbalance Yes, unfortunately I do want to change quite a few things. :-( I feel like so much gear is trial and error. Hopefully I can get it dialed in soon though! Eating enough money has been a big struggle of mine but I can tell how much better I feel and perform if I’m getting enough calories so I’m not sure if I could go smaller in BV size but it’s a good thought! I’ve thought about looking into the Topos. I might make the switch. I misspoke in my video, I have the Altra Lone Peak 6, and from what I’ve heard about the 7 and 8’s they haven’t been getting good reviews. Nice to hear that you were successful cold soaking on your CT hike, I really need to think about what my food choices would look like but I think I want to go that route l. Or at least try it. I also already cold soak my breakfast, similar to yours. Oats and PB2 powder. I hadn’t considered adding my greens to that, I was drinking that separately, might need to try it. I’m also vegan so I’m somewhat limited when it comes to my dinners. I actually might do a video on that. If you have any cold soaking recipes or meals that you enjoy please let me know! Cheers!

INDY --- Many times in my life I have wished I could move and change my name. I love how hikers can get a trail name and go hike somewhere new. I look at it as a life refresh Though many have trouble adjusting once back home. If we could figure out a way for a smoother transition once home, it could help so many. Some hikers end up making hiking their job. They are either prepping for a hike or on trail. There is no one size fits all and the WHY is unique to each hiker. Miss you... Hugs

Hey Indy, thanks for a little insight. Yes coming back from a adventure can be a challenge, it always was for me until I understood the reasons that created those issues. I have been very active outdoors since I was a kid. Pro ww kayaker, rock climber, mt biker, and occasional backpacker and they all had different "why"s. The more risky the sport the more important the understanding of self, very required in dangerous places. My why changed through my life matching the change in sports, but I've always asked fellow athletes for their "why" from world class racers to average Joes. The answers for the most dangerous sports tend to be similar, but then get much more random as you cover the safe activities. The red flag people are the ones doing the high risk sports with a weak "why", I steer clear of them as they show very little awareness.

As far a thru hikes go, I've completed the Superior Hiking Trail in MN and the Centennial Trail in SD. My next thru hike is the TRT next month. I'm 50, married 30 years and have 7 adult children and 1 still in high school. My 'why' isn't complex. The wilderness has always called my soul. And even after a lifetime of bimonthly trips through the airport and rental cars and living out of my suitcase for weeks on end, I can't ignore it. I've never felt more right than when I'm huffing up some desolate track in the middle of nowhere. I've been dreaming about hikes I always wanted to take mumbling to my self that I would get to them "after retirement". Well, my old man passed away almost 5 years ago and he was retired for about 2 years. I've come to terms with the Idea that I shouldn't wait. "It's closer than you think."

Excellent video. I'm 53 and have taken up hiking and backpacking as my primary hobby. Your video and commentary clearly laid out all the reasons I think many of us older folks hike and backpack. I recently moved to Nevada, part time, and hike 8 to 10 mi daily just to condition myself for section hikes on the TRT, in preparation for next year doing the thru hike. I couldn't help but get emotional listening to your commentary because it hit home hard with me. Tomorrow morning I'm being dropped off to do just a 20 mile section of the TRT and I can't wait. I've done several sections already, however only do them in chunks since I only live in Nevada part-time at the moment. I'll be here full-time in a few more months and can't wait to finish all of the sections, ultimately before setting off on the thru hike at some point early next year.
