5:29 best moment for me as a swede 🇸🇪 😂

[@bonpecheur4565]

This video is going in my favorite as future references, thank's, well done 👍

[@BushcraftEurope]

Same

[@davecorbett0507]

Great video, covered everything and it was well delivered too! You’re inspiring me to make a gear load out video!

[@BushcraftEurope]

I reallly love this video!! A lot!! Someone that care about fire, knife and first aid kit as well as water and nav is my kind of backpacker! Everything else can be improvised. We have more or less same base weight and not cutting on anything. But I am on a slightly heavier side which is great as I have Silky saw with me also and food and stuff for my dog also 😂

[@keegankim3606]

I read your book and am excited to see videos on here as well! I am planning my first expedition to Kauai as I speak and was getting the details on the backpack for a 3 day hike over there. This is all super helpful information and I look forward to the quest!

[@heatheranneultimatetravela2264]

Very comprehensive packing list and cool gear! Excellent advice!

[@sdnalyam]

Look at PCT gear lists, DCF tent, quilt, much lighter sleeping mat and smaller backpack, around 40-45L max. 7 oz or less rain jacket and also cut down on your cook kit.

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this fine video. You made some great gear selections. All the best to you out there on the trail. 🤗

[@DustinBackpacks]

Some great views you have! thanks for sharing what you bring with you take care!

[@AdventuresinBackpacking]

Great breakdown of your gear. Looking forward to your future video on packing in your camera gear. We are currently researching practical options for carrying camera gear in the backcountry.

[@KevinTheLion]

Super helpful video as you normally are when it comes to back packing

[@darylroddy112]

Stumbled upon this video and have no idea where you’ve been all of my life! Just got yourself a subscriber! Keep up the great work

[@lt2246]

Great video. It would be interesting to see a video on how you load it in your pack efficiently.

[@rickyrivera5489]

Matt I am loving your channel. Fun and entertaining :)/ love from Puerto Rico.

[@AJauntWithJoy]

I have the same tent! Picked it up at an REI Garage Sale for much cheaper than it's original price! Can't wait to use it now.

[@natalieberg2102]

Loved seeing your gear :D

[@passiveincome6154]

Great inspiration video.

[@SpanishandGo]

Great video, Matt! It looks like you've done an excellent job getting the essentials packed down into a really light setup! Fantastic gear guide. I'll definitely refer back to this if May and I decide to go on a long hiking trip someday. Cheers! -Jim

[@SpanishandGo]

[@AdrienMinot]

I'll be on Reunion Island soon and thinking what to bring in my bag ;)

[@jegibson10]

Great video! I’m in the market for a tent, so I appreciate your information. Where did you get the small bags for toiletries?

[@jennifercowick2731]

What compression sack/size do you use for your nemo sleeping bag?

[@littlesparrowchannel7637]

👍👍👍nice one

[@reginavaughn6059]

What brand of bag or what kind of zip bags did you use for your towel and poop gear etc? Great video btw, you have a nice set up. Def gonna use this for reference. Thanks

[@SheerStitchery]

I love my trail runners, I prefer a lighter shoe too!

[@RockTheParkOfficial]

2nd that. Lighter shoe is the way to go

[@Besalu]

What is your base weight for that set up?

[@johnsnyder7295]

Good stuff. But that Nemo tent is Straight Garbage in rainy weather. I HAD one.

[@danielcluley870]

I mean, I'm not a weight-weenie, but 20 lbs is a bit un-necessary if you just trimmed back a bit of non-need like stuff sacks, etc.

[@redgodofcrimsonpurgatory7975]

Cooking thing called????

[@Besalu]

Ah, you said it at the end: 20 lbs. . .. I see. . .

[@rocketjo]

[@raduku4all]

[@Patriot-1]
