As a Search and Rescue volunteer over the last 12 years, I have never been called on a mission for a broken ankle or sprain ankle with someone wearing hiking boots. It’s always been trail runners or those low top hiking shoes. An occasional Choco sandal. Just something to think about. So if you’re a clumsy hiker when you get tired at the end of your track like myself, then maybe high top boots are a better choice for you. Think of it as insurance. I paid the price for this decision hiking the Northwest National Scenic Trail.

Counterpoint. If someone is already prone to ankle injuries they may benefit from the extra support. For others, they'll develop better intrinsic stabilization using a lighter shoe and be less exhausted (and potentially less likely to suffer overall injury) by using trail runners.

I don’t know if this has been mentioned before, (I looked through a lot of comments), but sunscreen can become less effective if transferred into a different type of plastic bottle. Chemicals can react with different plastics which is why it’s recommended to keep sunscreen in its original container. Might be worth just buying travel sized sunscreen. Hope this helps. Stay safe and stinky!

What solved our bear canister issue was a small washer (like for screws)! We tie a piece of cord through it so we can clip it to our pack or mug and when we need to open the bear canister, we just press the washer into the locking tab. Makes it super easy to open especially when it's cold and your fingers don't want to work. You could even keep your gloves on depending on how bulking the gloves are.

A suggestion on decreasing weight and increasing space is to put your meals into zip lock bags when packing since you’re already eating out of your cup. The packaging that comes with the dehydrated food is bulky and wastes a lot of space in the near can. I use the Lighter1 Lil Sami Bear Can and can fit 5+ days of food in there with the zip lock method.

Re the boots / trail runners thing, it’s light weight shoes for me all the way if there’s any sort of a trail, unless there are proper reasons why boots might be better, when I do sometimes switch. In trail runners I get less fatigued, have more accurate foot placement, and I am much less likely to trip or stumble. My legs and knees definitely finish the day in very much better shape All of these things contribute to overall safety in my experience. Over the decades I have sustained occasional injuries wearing both boots and trail runners, stuff will always happen, but I am sure that the lighter and more positive footwear has massively improved both my enjoyment and the general efficiency of my hiking. Thanks for the videos Darwin, I’m pushing 70 years old now and the amazing lightweight gear of today really helps to level the playing field and keep me out there 👋

Rather than a safety mirror (which is only useful if you have practice aiming it at a helicopter that is potentially very far away) (furthermore you must still be conscious to use a mirror, where a fabric is useful even if passed out), consider buying an ultralight yellow or orange fabric that can be laid out. Also, something that is striped yellow/orange/etc is also good to spot because straight stripes don't exist in nature very often so they are easy to see.

Kinda same comment… I’ve been watching other vids and noticed tent goes last because it’s the first thing they take out to set up. Then again it’s individuals not couples. Another couple decided to pack as-if solo… but they walked at different paces, which what’s the point of that.

I think you could still fit it. I mean people are doing it with those hyperlite bags. Just depends how ultralight you’re trying to go.
