I keep looking at the title and 15,000 miles just keeps jumping out. Although I dont camp out, it's still an interesting subject, especially when the advice is coming from the basis of experience and I'm sure many people will benefit from following your thinking around this subject.

Great video, Thanks for sharing all your experiances

Terrific tips and I always appreciate your videos Dave. Keep exploring! I love being along for the trips and learning so much to prepare for my own.

Hi Dave: Your web site says to leave questions here, even if it doesn't exactly pertain to the topic of the video. I have been backpacking with my camera for about 50 years now. Although I turn 70 this year, I see no reason to stop now. I just need to plan a bit more thoroughly and maybe shorten the hikes just a bit. None of the of the other youtubers who I occasionally drop in on are backpackers, so I really enjoy your videos. I have never hiked the Cascades but I enjoy them vicariously through you. As a wilderness backpacker/photographer, I was interested in your thoughts wrt filters - CPs and NDs. I try to take pretty good care of my gear, but despite my best efforts my current filters (not the cheapest/not the most expensive) have lots of microscopic scratches on them - which is disappointing. I've seen the "scarring" on your tripod ball head in some of your videos, so I know you meet the terrain head on. Which brands have you felt held up the best to these demanding conditions? Thanks Doug in Montana

Hey Doug, Good to hear from you. Thanks! Here ya go: www.davemorrowphotography.com/p/whats-in-dave-morrows-camera-bag.html I don't use ND filters. Just CPL. Instead of shortening your hikes, my recommendation would be to drop your pack weight as much as possible, and walk the distance each week consistently that you want to hike during a week of backpacking. Most peoples packs are really heavy. Here's my gear list if you're interested: www.davemorrowphotography.com/backpacking-checklist My pack weight minus food and water is 12-16 lbs, depending on the temps and conditions. Camera setup including tripod is another 7 lbs. So sub 20 with camera gear for all but winter hikes. The difference that makes is immense. I'm not doing anything stupid like not having enough warmth/insulation or first aid gear either. Just takes time to get your setup really dialed in and get rid of all the useless stuff. One of the most useful things you can do is make a gear spreadsheet that lists each item with it's weight in oz and adds up all these items so you can see what your base weight is on each trip. I made my own in google sheets but you could also use this: lighterpack.com/welcome

It takes some big efforts to be a nature photographer. Never thought to switch to glamour photography in a luxury condo 😊?

[@UzmanN5]

What do you use for rain situations? Any jackets?

[@danwhitton7966]

How do you pack your lenses and body in your pack? Do you wrap them between clothes or use a small camera bag? Waterproof them?

[@danwhitton7966]

Awesome!@@DaveMorrow

[@brucegaucher2350]

Dave just curious what is your pack weight for 1 to 2 weeks. Thanks Bruce

[@DaveMorrow]

Depends on the temps and conditions. Base weight anywhere from 10-16 lbs temp dependent. Camera gear 5 lbs. Food, 2 lbs per day. Here ya go; www.davemorrowphotography.com/backpacking-checklist

[@tiptop9909]

What is your recommendation to keep dry when hiking in rain/heavy rain? Men's Copperfield Wind Shirt , I see that you are using this jacket, does it keep you dry when you are hiking in heavy rain/rain?

[@DaveMorrow]

you'll never stay dry on the trail in heavy rain no matter what gear. Makes more sense to use light gear that will keep you warm when wet. It's just water. Keep your body temp up and your camp clothes dry that's all that matters.
