Essential Camping Gear

[@tacticalstrategist3842]

Thanks for the cool video. Just a couple of things. The Leatherman you showed isn’t a Wave, it’s a Free P4. And the water filter you referred to as a squeeze and showed in the video isn’t a “squeeze”, it’s a micro squeeze (the backpacking/hiking/outdoor community differentiates to the two, since the squeeze is known to have better water flow than the mini or the micro). Sorry to sound like I’m nitpicking, just wanted to make it clear in case they wanted to purchase the items, but are surprised or upset to get something different than what is shown in the video (since you linked to the items you talked about, but showed a couple of different ones).

[@HeyJonMoore]

Dang! Good catches. And you’re totally right on both accounts. Tbh I knew about the squeeze one. I typically use the ‘squeeze’ and like it better but had to go with a micro squeeze on a recent trip because that’s all I could find. But I definitely misspoke on the Leatherman. Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate the comment 🤙

Backpacking is good for so many reasons. High country is a great place to be. Solid list. Keep it up dude

[@HeyJonMoore]

Amen to that! And thank you. I really appreciate the support 🤙

[@tessahbooth]

So glad I found your channel! It's so entertaining. It's clear that you're putting a lot of work into this, but still enjoying the process. Excited to subscribe and watch more.

[@HeyJonMoore]

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos. Your stuff is so well done too!

[@rignacio5199]

Great video. Lots of good info here. Headed out this weekend on my annual backpacking trip and came across your video. Excellent video and audio work. Subscribed.

[@HeyJonMoore]

Hey that means a ton. I really appreciate the support. Have a stellar backpacking trip 🤙

[@Nevermind_Im_Lost]

Been in the bush off and on like 20 years and I came in skeptical, but that was a very good list. Color me impressed

[@HeyJonMoore]

Ayyy thank you! I appreciate that

[@Jaypher]

My back could never allow backpack camping. Great video, Jon!

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thank you brotha! 🤙

[@susans8539]

Great list of quality clothing and hiking gear. I’m all for paying more for good quality products. Hope you are thriving! PS- you make a very convincing clothing model. ❤

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thank you Susan! I really appreciate it :)

[@dangerousfarmer]

Excellent video dude. I Iike your style and pacing. Fun and easy to watch.

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thank you! I appreciate it

[@bruce4695]

Happy to see you making vids, just subbed this past month but kinda figured you’d be out of the KZbin game with going back east, btw 2wd overlanding for the win 🤘🏻

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thanks man! I took a little time off after the move but I definitely don’t plan on stopping. I love making these videos. Yee yee! Appreciate the support 🙌

[@abdullahalazzawi1848]

Thank you

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thanks for watching!

[@user-ul5yu5hk9k]

Well done video

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thank you!

[@matthewlockhart3226]

I have an EE Apex jacket as well and you're right on both accounts: it's not much to look at but incredibly warm. And I carry a Therm-a-rest ass-pad. Indispensable!

[@HeyJonMoore]

Haha I got nothing but love for the EE Apex. I don’t even care how it looks. And 100% I don’t go on trips without the butt pad. Cheers man!

[@Iron-Outdoor]

Thanks for sharing!

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thanks for watching!

[@themessipilot]

Lets go camping buddy!

[@HeyJonMoore]

110% man. Can’t wait to see ya

[@CrippleCreekStudios]

Not going to lie, I’d love to come along.

[@weberbm]

Great video!

[@HeyJonMoore]

I appreciate it!

[@meric4921]

love it jon!

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thank you!

[@CrippleCreekStudios]

I really enjoyed this video. I want to use it as a checklist of sorts to round out my gear. Also, I wouldn’t mind if you did this same sort of video for medium to advanced backpacking/camping.

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thank ya! I’m stoked you found it helpful. I’ll definitely put that on the list for an upcoming video. Cheers!

[@abdulhakeemalabsi3575]

Good luck in work

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thank you!

[@FredPerryUSA]

Thoughtfully done...

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thank you man!

[@robertphillips93]

Had to chuckle as I began to see the close correspondence between your choices and mine. Not exact duplications of course, but close. I've preferred a bivy to tents, for instance -- but recently compromised on the very affordable and light Onewind bivy tent with bugscreen and superior ventilation (it's singlewalled). Also, for the sheer utility, a ripstop nylon poncho is hard to beat (pairs really well with the rain pants). DWR on clothing has limitations, and that I don't want to find out the hard way! And if wood fires are a likely means of sustained heating, a decent fixed blade knife is more serviceable than most folders and multitools.

[@HeyJonMoore]

Haha I bet most of us who’ve thought about this scenario have arrived at similar lists. Hard to beat the basics. You made some great points though! I appreciate you taking to time to share

[@prolificnorthwest]

Love it!

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thank you brother!

[@PrestonGladd]

The Cuban fiber and down fill items are the only big issues with your gear for the given scenario. A canvas tarp and synthetic warmth gear would be a lot better.

[@HeyJonMoore]

I hear that. I like the tent specifically for the SE because of ticks but yes synthetic is beneficial for sure depending on the climate

[@JeffCanyon]

Jon, always another calming great video..... As Steve Jobs would say "and one more thing", where did you source the zippered screen door? Thanks Jeff

[@HeyJonMoore]

Thanks Jeff! It was a custom screen made by my friend who does upholstery.

[@urhor]

tall and narrow or wide and shallow cooking pots? Wide pots are more fuel efficient but tall pots, like canteen cups, work better as a cup.

[@HeyJonMoore]

Haha for all around use, wide and shallow because it’s better for fresh food and you can use the lid as a plate and a frying pan. Tall and narrow for backpacking because it fits in my pack better and usually has measurement marks. Good question!

[@urhor]

@@HeyJonMoore Thanks!

[@briankaplan1482]

I might of asked in the past, but what screen do you have in your Ovrlnd? Love the videos as well.

[@HeyJonMoore]

All good! It was a custom screen made by a friend who does professional upholstery

[@admiralsever]
