[@backpackingdoor994]

[@BryceNewbold]

best comment ever!! thanks!

[@joshantonich2930]

I enjoy his sarcastic humor, you know this dudes legit when he says stuff like, "Ask help from a day packer or risk death? I'm going to risk death..." lol

[@joemikeska2657]

Your sarcasm is one of the things that keeps me coming back to your channel. We need more sarcasm in our lives.

[@BryceNewbold]

thank ya! i agree

[@darodes]

Bryce thanks for this. I dabbled in backpacking for little bit before my dog died (he was my camping buddy), so it’s been tough to get back out there. I’m motivated to try again next year because I did really enjoy it. Thanks again

[@HikingwithGus]

Sorry about your dog. I cannot even begin to fathom hiking without Gus. I did hike with Bryce for 5 days but was a substandard substitute, plus he kept pulling at the leash.... :) Just kidding. But seriously get back out there it's the best therapy for what ails a human.

[@darodes]

@@HikingwithGus I appreciate the kind words.. we have another pup that Im hoping will be up to the tasks next year. Gonna start him on some overnight trips first 😊

[@BryceNewbold]

Thanks for watching. sorry to hear about your little buddy

[@rbstevens1]

Thanks! Bryce your videos are reaching a whole new level fucking fantastic - funny educational, total entertainment.

[@BryceNewbold]

Thank you so much! I think that's the first super chat/like thingy I've ever got. 👍

[@joshantonich2930]

Dude, after this video I have a new goal, go backpacking with you, I laughed so hard during this video I can't image how joyful a trip with you would be, how do I get connected to trip with you one day in the future? 😅

[@ItsAdventure]

Laughed out loud a lot. You sir are an honorary Brit with that fabulous sarcastic Shining Wit! Many thanks for the info and and a giggle! Rich ;o )

[@BryceNewbold]

thank you so much!

[@TheNoobHiker]

Hilarious video with a lot of great advice. Looks like you are doing well, have you made it back on the trail? Any chance of a link to the scale you use? Always looking forward to the next video!

[@pedroclaro7822]

I am a hammocker, as well as a long distance bicycle tourer. I am used to being called crazy. I take it as a compliment. But being called an idiot for having usual ideas is new for me 😂

[@BryceNewbold]

haha! ;)

[@amerphoto1]

YES! Backpacking problems pop up everywhere, they follow me everywhere like I am the Pied Piper just like Dollar Generals...and then to beat all...a Dollar General popped up kitty corner to my house...and we don't even have a population! Literally 100 yards from my house! (Now I don't have far to go to resupply)

[@DylanBrown-i2m]

Bro!!! Crack up. Love watching your vids. Humour mixed in with hard work and some amazing vistas. Will forte doppelgänger 100%. Keep them coming.

[@BryceNewbold]

haha! ive never got that one before, i love will forte. "last man on earth" was so entertaining... for a few seasons

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello 👋 Bryce, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing this entertaining video that is loaded with vital, need to know information. All the best to you. Stay safe out there. 😊

[@mbarr1029]

One of your best tips for ground dwellers was use your chair to keep the foot box of your sleeping bag off the side of the tent you missed it here

[@patrickflowers9140]

Awesome tips thanks for sharing!

[@tomlovesdiy]

Love your videos! Informative and fun. Thanks.

[@countrygirl63baker64]

❤😂🎉🎉🎉 Thanks Bryce, love the double drip of sarcasm 😂🎉🎉🎉

[@kristymoore7052]

I’m going to check out that soap! I don’t normally bring any. Heavy, but I do know that if I get cut or scraped or a bug bite starts getting infected, soap seems to be the cure while camping, so it would behoove me to bring on longer backpack trips. Thanks for the tips.

[@kristymoore7052]

Me again. Just purchased a couple of suds packs from your link. For me and stocking stuffer for my son. tHANKS.

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

Bro the humor in this one⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@jerryg957]

Great vid man, keep um coming. ~

[@MultiBassman62]

You should check out the Showa 282 insulated glove cheap and work well

[@ericwilson4553]

You should try Salty Britches, it stays on much better than body glide.

[@dakotaescher1]

Weight is huge if you are hiking longer trails. My first trek of the JMT was rough because of my age and the amount of weight in my pack. If there had been a ZPacks store on trail I would have replaced everything there and then.

[@Swearengen1980]

Can't say I entirely agree. Your fitness level plays a huge role. Granted, the average hikers I see are surprisingly not in particularly great shape. I know an older guy (late 50s) who can hike the steep slopes of a mountain, not a simple trial, with a 60 lb ruck....granted, he's a pretty jacked, former military dude, but he can do a long trail day and night with that weight and be cool. I can do comfortably do 10 miles a day with about 30 lbs. I'd rather hit the gym and get in better shape than to try and go ultralight with 15 lbs and short myself on gear.

[@julainenelson4204]

Loved your video!

[@Learningthetruth7]

Hammocks are bear burritos!

[@roselee_explores]

The "butthole squirter" ... 🤣🤣🤣 Great video - fun to watch!

[@kamuqamu4341]

your advice is solid and your attitude reminds me of my sister

[@kevinmacwatters1519]

How would you layer outdoor vitals for a nobo at thru hike?

[@BryceNewbold]

Tern hoodie for baselayer, ventus for mid, and nova ul for warm layer.

[@kevinmacwatters1519]

@@BryceNewbold sounds great, thank you for a reply. I'm just catching up on your channel. Funny and informative, keep it up and good luck

Bryce tip- bring chicken and rice or sometimes a steak

[@BryceNewbold]

chicken and rice... circa 2018.. haha!!

SMASHED the like and subscribe for the hammock hate 👍🏼

[@scottplumer3668]

The "lonely" comment made my choke on my coffee. Well done!

[@BryceNewbold]

haha... that might of been my favorite one.

[@RyanSchell]

As an idiot hammocker I appreciate these tips. One day I'll downgrade myself to dirty ground dweller. I don't even know what condensation means with a hammock. 😂

[@NelsonSherry]

For what it's worth, a surprising percentage of people in New England don't get sarcasm either! It's seems both weird and a little scary to me.

[@Swearengen1980]

The "oh you think you can prepare for everything?"......Hammock or bivy campers (or anyone whose pack is left outside), you gonna keep going if you wake up to find someone stole your shit because you couldn't keep it in a tent with you?

[@LeopoldElwes]

Oh no, you're the tent type and no, I'm not the type of person who sleeps in a hammock.😂 Guess my setup style. 🤪👍

[@BryceNewbold]

tarps for the win!... on eastern U.S. we have too many ticks for year round tarping. i dont want to die. lol

only part of the video that still makes me chuckle

[@gmonteith]

Yes, I think you owe your subscribers a separate video just on that bidet. Thank you in advance.

[@BryceNewbold]

perhaps... how do i make an 8-10 minute video on it though.. hmmn.. haha

Hero status 😂

[@johncheeseman6764]

Bryce, do you mean like getting a text that your mom died 8 miles into cinque of the towers trail. Happened to us 2 years ago. Zoleo to the rescue

sorry to hear that. hope all is well

I had to bail on a hike. I broke my arm from a fall.

[@BryceNewbold]

thats a huge fear of mine...well more so a leg but arm is pretty bad too!

[@HikingwithGus]

LOL... love it. Once again you nailed it! Gus can smell thru hikers 15 to 20 minutes before we see them.... Ya have to be careful with those bidets... if you squeeze to hard they become an enema....

Sepratec underwear. No chance of chafing.

[@LWilli5]

Always map out the nearest Waffle House! BTW, warm water Bryce, use warm water.

[@f.d.5952]

Your sarcasm is very abstract. You hop from one topic to another without much explanation, to make it funnier, but not everybody gets the references... That's. why not everyone undertands you. Try to make the connections in your references more clear and give people some time to think about it. That should help 😅

[@BryceNewbold]

thanks so much for this comment. and your right. I actually think about the exact things that you said... I really thought about this comment for days... i really appreciate it! and please send more constructive critisms in the future. very helpful. :)

[@Dutcharmytent]

In the UK the law says that you can only carry a small folding pocket knife so that has put me off backpacking. I tried it! but chopping wood for a fire was a nightmare.

[@Swearengen1980]

Every time someone from the UK (or similar Euro Nations) shits on America for our guns, I always point back to how it progressed that y'all can't even carry a damn knife (not directed at you)....I just can't imagine being told what hobby or way of life I can or can't have. In any case, can you not use a fuel cannister or some other form of fire that doesn't rely on wood over there? $60 for a Soto Amicus or more for a MSR Pocket Rocket 2 and a $6 canister of fuel and you're good to go ( assuming you mean actual backpacking and not camping where you may have the need to cook actual food).

[@panhandlejake6200]

Are camp saws (Fiskars for example) allowed? They work very well.

[@nicksam5518]

I have a number of ax''s and hatchets for car camping. I have recently rediscovered smaller folding saws. They work so much better! could you in the UK not buy or use a saw?my silky was like 60$, but a cheapie like bahco is like 20 bucks.(in the USA)

[@Ellie-rx3jt]

Uk law allows you to carry any knife if you can justify your reason for carrying it. Not that you would generally use a knife for "chopping wood". A small saw would be more appropriate if in an area where gathering wood is permitted. But yeah, have carried mora frost fixed blade bushcraft knives all over the countryside. Never even had someone question it. Not like the police are lurking on the hills in the evening anyway 😂

[@Ellie-rx3jt]

​​@@panhandlejake6200 Yes, as long as you can legally gather firewood in the area having a saw is totally fine. More official guides tend to recommend against axes, but plenty of people use them without issue. What people forget when it comes to UK knife laws is that if you have a legitimate reason (no, "self defense" doesn't count) to be carrying a knife you aren't restricted to the 3" non locking rule. And that there's very little chance of even being questioned over it, since your knife/saw/axe should be in your pack when you aren't using it and the police don't tend to hang out in the countryside.
