CAMP SHOES AND ULTRALIGHT BACKPACKING?

I burst out laughing at “I am not sponsored by Arnold Whole Grain”

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Thanks. I couldn't resist..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@cheri7828]

I have used bread bags myself, exactly the way you do in camp. All of us in the neighborhood were poor when we were growing up. None of us had great winter boots, so we all used bread bags to keep our socks dry when we would go sliding. What I really need is something I can use to protect my feet while using showers in the hostels.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Yep. Did the same as a kid...👍👍👍

[@dzedogranatovich7085]

I'm and old Dogface Soldier, so I learned to keep my feet as clean and dry as possible, all the time. I have tried all kinds of camp shoes, etc. I've settled on Crocs, my personal luxury item. I'm not in that big a hurry that I can't slip off my boots and put on my Crocs for stream crossings. Sometimes it's an on and off day. That's okay. I like to keep my puppies happy. They have given me thousands and thousands of miles of wonderful service.

[@kennethearl3079]

Hey Scott. It was such an honor to hang with you last weekend in the gorge. I have been carrying a pair of xero sandals but will be switching up to the multi purpose bread bags. Great suggestion.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

You too man. Always great to meet other hikers. Keep an eye out for that email. I have it on my list of things to do. Lots of pics and video between the three of us including bread bags of course. LOL!!!There's a few up on Instagram already if you use that platform. Same handle for me. @bnulte for Brent and @stevenpack630 for Steven. Hope to run into you again in the future. Happy Trails Ken!!!!

[@jasonblack460]

Good idea! Definitely new to me. I go under armour shower shoes...wear them daily, and kayaking...just a piece of rubber with drain holes weigh about 8 oz for the pair.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Nice. Thanks for sharing!

[@scotbush283]

I have done the same thing for years....I thought I was the only one!

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Your not alone my friend.😁

[@AndrewWisler]

I’m also a big fan of Trail Toes - a trick I learned from Skurka’s blog. At night, after your feet dry out, rub some in, and out kind of seals the skin, so when you’re hiking in wet trail runners the next day, your feet don’t get soft. Since doing that and using Injinji socks, no blisters even in sopping wet conditions.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Good tip. Skurka is a wealth of information. 👍👍👍👍 Anyone else who reads this, check out Andrew Skurkas website.

[@KrizAkoni]

They are certainly more versatile than I expected! Disposable foam salon sandals make pretty light camp shoes and are a great conversation starter.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

😆😆😆😆😆

[@kirkrozelle1900]

Great idea ... thanks for the tip! I've always struggled about bringing water-crossing/camp shoe sandals because of the weight. I will seriously try this out. It sounds too good to be true ... and too inexpensive (ha, ha!). Thanks again and I really enjoy your channel.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Thanks Kirk. 👊👊👊

[@bluestag5744]

Lol and I’ve been using $0.98 flip flops and eating the 6oz they weigh. I’m going to try this bread bag idea next time.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

98 Cents???? Good God Man!!!! UL Gear is so expensive. LOL

[@toastiesburned9929]

6oz, jeez! How is your bag not popping at the seams!?

[@MLwait]

After sliding out of my flip flops and tripping on my last two backpacking trips, once coming from filtering water and mist recently walking back from the privy, I just picked up a light weight pair of sandals that Velcro on. Went from 4.8 oz to 9.1 oz. They have got to be better at camp, and also planning to use at really bad water crossings if needed.

[@rhermann9595]

I like the stability of Crocs sandals around camp, but they are a bit heavy. I went to Teva mush sandals at 5.9oz/pair they are a luxury item worth taking. In lower temperatures I'll pair them with Injinji toe socks as my sleep socks. I figure the sooner I can get out of my shoes the drier they will be in the morning.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

That's very light for a sandal. Are they flip flops?

[@BackcountryTreks]

Z trail sandals made by xero 100%. Lighter than crocs and pack flat in my pack👍

[@graydogtreks]

Grand ideas! Thanks for sharing. I have used this "camp shoe" technic for over 40 years before camp shoes were conceived. I trekked in "Converse" basketball shoes. A.T. class of 1970. However I now use jumbo freezer bags for durability.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Yesss!!! Hiking in Chucks! Thats killer. Thanks for sharing...👊

I appreciate your integrity in not being sponsored by these bread companies. 😉 Seriously: GREAT recommendations!

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Thanks.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great content and wry humour are much appreciated. Always value those videos that portray simple common sense and innovation, rather than an encouragement to spend several hundred quid on high tech, usually unnecessary, kit ... Cheers.

[@lisaray6493]

I’ve been repurposing old bread bags for years. Glad to know I’m doing something right lol. I recently shifted to actual dog poop bags because they are lighter yet and every ounce really does count around 60

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Yea.... My feet are too big for dog poop bags though, and I eat a lot of bread...😆

[@pgreenx]

Great advice. I also carry them in the winter as emergency vapor barrier socks if my boots/shoes get cold and wet and I need to put dry socks on to keep warm.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Good point. FUNNY, We used grocery bags inside our winter boots as kids. DYI Goretex snow boot. 😁 I have played around with them sa little as a VB, but I don't hike in extreme cold enough.

[@robertlarkham2428]

As a kid bread bags went in my winter boots all the time. Dry feet!!

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Same here. Instant Snow Boots...😁

[@trailpix2273]

That was my first thought LOL! Everything old is new again.

[@d.williamvitt3869]

I use Vibram Five Fingers. At the end of the day they stretch out my toes and in the event of a Trail Runner shoe failure they can be called into service as ... well Trail Runner replacements. Also if the ground is forgiving and there are numerous repeated water crossing I just switch to them for that section and keep my Trail Runners & socks dry for the trek up out of the canyon.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Never tried those. I'm not a huge fan of Ingingi toe socks so I'm guessing the 5 fingers might feel weird to me. But, it sounds like they work great for you. And that's all that matters!

[@melindaadams6520]

Once apon a time, bread sacks were saved and repurposed. When I was young child in the early 60s my mother kept a drawer full of them in the kitchen. I'm not sure what all she did with them, but I think she froze stuff in them. I do remember when it snowed we would be allowed to play outside wearing bread sacks inside our shoes just like you do in camp. Being in Texas it didn't snow enough to buy rubber shoes for all is kids. Anyway, brought back memories. I wash them out and save them to put homemade bread into.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

We have a spot in our pantry where we keep all our bags for reuse...👍🏻

[@GreyBeatle]

I actually use three pairs of waterproof socks...is how I do it... Waterproof socks are a bit heavier than regular socks, but well worth it. I was skeptical when first trying them, but after I got the hang of them, I won't go without. The trick to them is, you have to change them half way through the day, even if you're a moderate sweater.... if you sweat heavily, you might have to change them more! They do gather moisture from the inside, off your body as waterproof works both ways. The best part about these socks is that even if water goes over the top of them, they still somehow manage to keep your feet dry! Usually when I feel moisture build up inside from sweat, I change them right away, and hang them out of a pocket with paracord tied around them and turned inside out, and in a few hours (as long as it's not raining) they're dry again... Some guys get away with two pair...I always bring three. No need for baggies ever again!

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Interesting. I use SealSkinz WP socks in the winter. Fantastic socks for snow, but their almost twice the weight of my darn tough socks. Im not great at math but three pairs would add somewhere around 9 ounces of additional weight. My old crock knockoffs (pictured in the video thumbnail) weigh 9.5 ounces and my flops weigh 5.6 ounces. If bags weren't an option and I had to carry the extra weight. I think I'd go Darn tough and flops/crocks. Sounds like the WP socks work well for you though, and that's what matters most.🤘🤘🤘

[@GreyBeatle]

@@TheUltralightMindset Winter here there is no such thing as light weight for feet if i want to stay warm and dry unfortunately.. I still use an old pair of -74 Centigrade -101.2 F Sorel boots that keep me warm and dry.. down side to those boots is their so old that modern snow shoes aren't usually built big enough with the quick strap and release to accommodate them...one of my big pet peeves currently...but still shopping...the bread bags of course work well... we did that as kids when our parents would buy us experimental boots that we never believed the waterproofing on because they never were waterproof back then....glad gear has become better for winter especially....pulks sleds dragged in) is normally how I carry gear in winter.. but used to strap my pack to a G.T. snow racer too with string attached so I could steer it on the way in too for more hilly terrain it worked good.. ride the adult G.T. snow racer down the hills and complain while pulling it up the next one... Joy's of weight in winter makes me look forward to spring summer fall camping.. but then I miss winter camping again and the cycle continues..lol

[@Obdewla]

I used your camp shoe hack last week during an overnight on McKittrick Ridge in the Guadalupe Mtns. Nat'l Park. Had hiked in snow left over from the day before getting there & remembered I had them stashed in my essentials bag. They worked perfectly for during the night excursions.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Hell ya...👍👍👍

[@markheming3507]

I have a fair of mayfly’s from GGG that works pretty well coming in at 1.9oz but that’s a great idea! You could also use the bread bags as a wag bag

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Yup!

[@gravy9587]

There is a cottage company that makes DCF bags/socks for the same purpose. They obviously will hold up a lot better as socks or gloves, I believe they are around $35. They can be used as water bladders as well in dry climates.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Good to know. Do you have the name of the company?

[@gravy9587]

[@rickb5275]

Great content, thanks for sharing. I made some hirachi sandals from some old lightweight running shoe soles (Salomon trail runners I think) They weigh 1.5 ounces for the pair, take up very little pack space and let my feet air out in camp. Beware prickly things poke right through them.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Lots of love for Dyi insole sandals in the comments. 👍

[@marambula]

excellent solution to “camp shoes” for ultralight and distance backpacking. thank you, I think I will prefer this to buying a pair of sandals and this solves the wetting issue of my sleep socks!

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Awesome!

[@tonyjharris]

Hi Scott.. bread bags.. freezer bags.. shopping bags.. over here in the Uk .. mountain marathon runners have used them for years.. great with a dry pair of socks to help avoid trenchfoot on multi days runs or hikes.. 👍😁

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Never had to use them for running. My runs so far haven't exceeded 50k so no worries there. I can definitely see the benefit for multi day runs for sure....👍

[@littlethislittlethat456]

I've been using xero camp shoes but they are over 12 oz. I'm going to try bread bags and see how they work. I actually injured my foot on the AT when I was wearing the Xero shoes. They don't offer much protection and I stepped on a root at camp and my foot twisted. I thought it might end my hike but in the morning I managed through the discomfort. Having my Altras on with bread bags would have prevented that injury. John from MI

[@TheUltralightMindset]

I do love some bread bags. Great for lots of things, especially picking up trash while you hike. Take care. S

[@iqqmut79]

I've Been using Skinners socks as my only footwear for about 4 months now. I haven't used anything else, both in city or on trail. A pair weighs depending on size 150-200 grams (roughly 5-7oz). They are essentialy elastic heavy duty socks with textured rubber coating on the soles. I really love these!!! :)

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Sounds RAD! I'm going to check them out right now. Thanks dude👍🏻

[@iqqmut79]

Motivated By Mountains I just weighted my size XL(45-46) Skinners and the scale stopped at 223g/7.9oz, grime included :)

[@EddieErion929]

My camp shoes are lightweight insoles with ribbon. And plastic bags to pee in middle of night. I am highly considering a pair of Borah rain mitts as camp shoes 1 oz for the pair. They work great on my hands

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Rain mitts as camp shoes? Never thought of that...😏

[@MarisolsAdventures]

but once you put the bags on wouldnt your feet start sweating since the air cannot go out..just curious. thank you

[@jamusjones9971]

I was taught this trick when I was a kid and it works great, people laugh but it's cheap and light weight. Glad to see I'm not the only one👍

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Team Bread Bag FTW!!!

[@MightyMidgey]

There's just something about letting your feet air to at the end of the day, so I sport Bedrocks and then add some socks once it gets cold.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Totally agree. Airing out the feet feels great. Doesn't smell great, but it feels great...🤣🤣🤣

[@rodneyp9590]

That's thinking, I'm doing that. I hate camping shoes. I almost think you might as well bring an extra pair of shoes to hike in for the extra few ounces vs camping shoes.

[@jhonyermo]

I think the entire video was great. Not crazy. Good ass info. Possibley some will be offended that they do not cost at least $20, and have a very spiffy logo, if you get my drift

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Oh, I get your drift. Thanks dude...😆😆😆

[@mikey955]

Excellent in every way...used to use them in old caulk boots that leaked when logging...feet would sweat like crazy... but stayed warmer on a cold wet day. Great tips,keep it up,Thanks !

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Thanks Mike...👍👍👍

[@hildadoesit4406]

Very clever. I’m considering this. I like to make my pack as light as I can while still being comfortable in camp. My pack was 20lbs fully loaded on my last trip and I was pretty happy with that. I usually bring my earth runners sandals to air my feet out. They weigh about 5oz I believe, but compared to bread bags they are heavy. I’ll definitely pass this info along as a great ultralight option.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Give it a shot. You might like it.👍🏻

[@4leaftayblack418]

Never would’ve thought of it. I was literally gonna X out of you video but I hung on. Wet feet are my Achilles heel. I’m heading out to the Foothills Trail in a couple weeks and it’ll most likely be rainy. Words I never thought I’d say: I will have my bread bags just Incase it does rain.😂

Love it! I thought of this in the 70s in scouts. Worked great with wet boots. Even hiked with the bags on!

[@JuanMoreFish]

That’s a good idea. I’ve also seen ultralight backpackers use the shoe covers used by surgeons overtop dry socks. I assume the don’t let liquid seep through.

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Interesting. That's one I haven't heard of. Thanks for sharing..👍

[@JuanMoreFish]

I made a pair of utlralight camp sandals out of old sports shoe inserts and small diameter bungee cord. Both combined are less that one once. I definitely wouldn’t be hiking around in them but just for walking around camp.... they are good enough.

[@davidson_oldbull_sectionhiker]

Great hack and I think I will add bread bags to my kit, however, probably not for camp shoes. May reason is that I purchased a pair of North Face GTX trail runners, which I really like, but as you know don't dry out too quickly. For camp shoes I carry a pair of Walmart knock off Crocs which weigh 8 oz.. With that said I always keep and open mind. Hope you are having a great weekend. God Bless

Dollar General crocs and cut the tops out following the molded toe bumper to ankle strap seam(look at em from the top to see the seam). Many ways to wear em and still air your feet. I will be trying the bags soon on gram weenie trip. Edit: Not recommended for stream crossing.

My feet perspire. I’d be concerned that the plastic would prevent ventilation and the dry socks would become damp or wet. Not good for sleep socks which you want dry as possible. Other ideas sound great and I’ll remember them going forward. Thanks

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Yea. I only use this method in camp, at rest. If your feet sweat a lot this may not work for you.

[@AdventuresinBackpacking]

My wife has been doing this for the last two years. I tried it and hated it; after a couple of days, the bread bags, because of all the sweat, tend to smell pretty awful. I don’t bother, but she loves the method.

I love having camp shoes when backpacking. I've tried flip flops, crocs, zero shoes, and just bought a pair of Oboz sandals. I think they all have certain applications. For general multi day backpacking, where I'm trying to be reasonably light, I'll go for the zero shoes. I like them because you can wear socks with them. If I know it's going to be really wet, the crocs are a bette choice. The Oboz sandals are heavy, but the advantage is they are almost a full shoe. Anxious to try them out. I'm not a gram weenie, so I don't mind a few extra grams for improved comfort.

Stuffing my feet in a plastic bag would defeat the purpose of letting them and my shoes air out. Dumbest video I've ever watched regarding backpacking.

[@jpriddle]

As someone who successfully uses this method, I have to disagree. I let my feet air out first and the shoes have plenty of time to air out while I’m sleeping. Have you tried it?

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Your absolutely correct. Your feet will not air out while inside the bread bags. I'm afraid you may have missed the part where I stressed how important it is that I always air out my feet before and after wearing the bags. I felt like I made that very clear. But, like I said multiple times, in the video, this method isn't for everyone. Happy Trails.
