As far as filters getting clogged from some of the more nasty AZT and PCT water sources, I've heard some people suggest pre-filtering. Basically pour the nasty cattle water from one dirty bag (or bottle) into another, but through a bandanna. That clears out the larger floaties, and then you can run it through your Sawyer or whatever filter you have. Obviously that increases time and effort to filter your water. And maybe it increases the number of dirty bags or bottles that you have to pack around, but some found it worth it. Just a thought.
@JohnMury6 жыл бұрын
I use a collapsible cup to fill my dirty bag if the water is murky. Just put my buff over the cup as a pre-filter while pouring into the dirty bag. And by collapsible cup, I mean the bottom half of a 500ml water bottle. I'm surprised by how many times I can crush it down before needing to make a new one!

Awesome video as always! Thank you for your transparency... With the emphasis from every "youtube" hiker to push the envelope and be an ultralight hiker, I actually enjoy the perspective from you and several others, that having luxury items and those items that help us sleep better despite the weight penalty is ok. I started working my pack weight down several years ago, but felt that I hiked best, and was most comfortable at the 13 pound base weight range, and I for one dont feel pressured to go any lighter. Happy hiking Darwin!!!

On the zpad. I am also a side sleeper who had issues with not enough padding on my hips when I tried to sleep. I had the full length pad but that last foot was not really necessary. So, my solution was to cut off the last 4 folds of the pad and then use that cut off part to double up the pad under my hips, which works well for me. And the 4 folds also works as a butt pad for use in the day. If you have the short pad, you may want to at the Z-seat to you gear and use it at night to double up the pad under your hips.

Also, I'd have to move away from camp to spit and it takes more water. Brushing with just water means I drink all my water, which can be important when it's scarce.

Love the review. I’m a huge fan of the AZT and hope to get back there. I thought about what you said about the sleep pad. I’m a side sleeper too and it was side sleeping that that grinding into the ground you discussed that had me becoming a hammock hanger. The trouble is, “they ain’t no trees in the desert”. So when I section hiked the AZT, I ended up using my modular hammock which converts to a bicycle.. but then what about sleeping on the ground? I’m with you on using the NeoAir inflatable, but have wondered about getting a hole from all the stuff on the ground out there. So something that came to mind was the possibility of taking a full-sized closed cell foam pad and just doubling it up on my torso. Not sure whether or not it will work, though. Thoughts?

@cameronshaw5995 жыл бұрын
Hey! I’m obviously not Darwin, but this is something I’ve put a lot of thought into after over 4K miles. Ultimately, I have two set ups: one for dessert/unlikely rain situations and one for PNW/mid-Atlantic/buckets of rain scenarios. If I’m unlikely to encounter prolonged rain, I carry a poncho tarp as my rain gear and addition to my MLD superlight bivy for overhead rain protection should I need it. This served me well on the Arizona Trail, the JMT, and in Red Rocks and Moab. That said, if you get days of rain, you will be uncomfortable with this set up. Your lower alarms will get wet, your legs will get wet (even with the addition of rain chaps), you will get fully soaked staking out your tarp because you have to take off your poncho to make it into your tarp, and some splash-in from the open end of your tarp will definitely happen. Make sure you’re highly unlikely to encounter more than one full day of rain if you carry this as your set up. For those rainier areas, I split my rain gear and shelter systems. I carry a full set of Frog Togs (I hate having soaked, cold legs) and carry a ZPacks pocket tarp with storm doors and a bathtub groundsheet to complement my bivy. I’ve been carry some version of these two set ups since 2013 and have found that I’m able to stay comfortable when the AT pours six days of rain down or in the dessert when I’m cowboy camping every night. TLDR; the rainier it will be, the more likely you’re going to want separate shelter and rain gear systems and the more likely you are to want a jacket and pants over a poncho.

I agree about the sleep pad. I need my air mattress, as I side sleep, as well. One thing I've found about the Nero (and I just used it for a few hikes this summer), I don't really think it needs the back pad. If I pack it right, I find it to be more comfortable without. It conforms to my body much better. Your thoughts?
@kevinludwig18737 жыл бұрын
One thing I did do, is without having the shock cord straps to hold that pad in, I, instead, ran it around the front of the pack, using those loops. It enabled me to compress it a bit more and gave me some good spots to hang socks, etc, to dry while I hiked.

It honestly isn't difficult to achieve, not for warm weather hiking. You can do it without even bothering with cuben fiber stuff. I have a setup that weighs about 4 kilos, which includes an Osprey Exos 38 backpack, an insulated air pad, down sleeping bag, Thermarest pillow case and a bivy. So it doesn't skimp on comfort. This also includes a full cook-kit, with gas, gas stove, titanium spork and cleaning sponge. I could drop the weight to 3.5 kilos by using a frameless bag, but after a certain point you gotta ask yourself if you really NEED to drop any further. The pack already feels practically weightless with the good support that the Exos 38 provides, so I personally can't justify a 150-250 dollar pack to lose the last 500 grams or so.

The tarp Darwin used is large enough that splash shouldn't be a concern. Bugs really aren't an issue on the AZT either. That's why I posed the question to Darwin.
