UPDATED Gear List (8.5 kg baseweight)

[@hoppy1970]

Great video, thanks. Here in Scotland I spray my footwear, clothing, and tent with Lifesystems EX4 (let it dry before wearing) and I have never had a tick since. EX4 can be effective for weeks. I wear Smidge on my skin - a natural midge repellent. Good luck.

[@ervinslens]

Glamorous landscape scenery, and really touching shots. Such a great presentation 👏🥾

[@zoes1463]

So cool to see you making vids again! I also love that all your gear is mostly colourful!

[@victoriazhang9963]

I also recently bought an Atom Packs Mo and customized it with yellow, blue, and orange color. Love your videos and energy. Cheers from NYC!

[@floordenil]

Ahhhh we can go twinning if we ever bump into each other on trail! Happy hikes 🏔️

[@milupaoutdoor]

Hi Floor, thanks for the funny video.. I will start the Skye Trail next Friday. Hope I can watch your video before. Greats from Germany

[@raktoda707]

Now you have to pack everything back up...thanks some interesting things sounds like you are prepared for all things

[@markcummings6856]

Great to see your kit. Thanks. Have fun on your hike. Looking forward to seeing your videos if you post. Happy Trails

[@neelmistry]

So glad to see you hiking again! Excellent kit list!

[@tomson842]

Solid kit! Ben echt enorm benieuwd naar de Isle of Skye video! Staat al een lange tijd op men lijstje.

[@dgmstuart]

The fact that you've very slightly picked up a Scottish accent (particularly on the word "Scotland") is adorable ☺

[@fabien5502]

I usually carry a lighter and a tiny ferrocerium rod as backup. I mean, it won’t brake and it wold work even after days in water…cheers!

[@jacquesbasson]

Brilliant as always

[@miele6372]

Bijna dezelfde fout gemaakt bij mijn tent! Wou de durston x-mid solid kopen tot ik bij het afrekenen opeens 108 dollar tax zag staan lol! Mijn broer gaat toevallig naar New York binnenkort en gaat hem meenemen voor me, lucky me! Anyway nice gear list! Hopelijk heb je genoten van de trail! Ben benieuwd naar de droneshots! :)

[@floordenil]

Haha letterlijk TWEE droneshots dus alsjeblieft don’t get your hopes up too high 😭😭😭😰😰😂

[@helena9398]

loooove your happy vibes! would be so funny to hike together, I’d be like your exact dark shadow cause no color, all black gear 😅

[@nixxrunner]

Weer een mooi filmpje, dank je voor je gearlist!

[@janfwhatever]

Leuk je packlijst te zien (en tofste website ooit!). Love mijn Thermarest Neoair, maar het opblazen is iedere keer weer ... euh... adembenemend. Sinds kort de Flextail Zero pump ontdekt en wat een verademing (puns keep on coming). Beste 60 extra grammen ooit, worth checking out.

[@dougieranger]

It’s always interesting to see what others carry. Slàinte mhath Floor! 🥃🥃

[@franzmerkhan1237]

very fresh and clever, very good to understand

[@uweburger]

Nice to see you again

[@chrishiking8818]

Really enjoyed your video, as a hiker myself you do a great job if explaining everything but also the things you take like everyone else. Take care Floor groetjes Chris

[@donnavansenior]

New sub, really enjoying your hikes and also seeing what gear you pack, and don't pack :)

[@glennoc8585]

Cool kit. I'm more a cyclist but would love live to hike especially with one or two people aswell.

[@DenisSijanski]

you should put heavy things in the middle for balance

[@HoppasJagStoer]

Thank you for sharing and God bless!

[@bkpktrekker4086]

Hi Flor. Did you trek Skye? Is there a video coming? I just walked half of the Massiv and was considering Skye when I saw you were on Skye. Love your videos. It's funny because I was also looking into Peak of the Balcans. Looking forward to your posts!

[@floordenil]

Hey! Yes, I did the Skye Trail. Video is coming up, still working on it!

[@alicenogueira]

Hey Floor! Thanks for this video. I'm curious to know which backpack you liked better, the atom plus or the Mo. I'm buying an atom backpack and I can't decide which one to choose, so any input would be appreciated :)

[@VeritySnatch]

fanny has a completely different meaning in Scotland.

[@baba_zhenya5227]

Thanks for a very informative Video! How do you shower on the trail if you do not stay in the hut? Best Greetings! :)

[@megalicious7757]

oooooh gifted pack! Next: sponsorship!

[@HypnoseBerlin]

@floordenil Were you able to use your standard screw-top gas stove on the Peaks of the Balkans Trail? I read that you can only find the puncture-top gas canisters in the Balkans? I am wondering whether to bring an alcohol stove instead of buying one of the heavy puncture-top gas stoves.

[@jonyverheggen2484]

We did found a standard screw-top gas in Bosnia…

[@joaogabrielp.agapito626]

What camera gear do you carry?

[@RustyMisterTwo]

The Solomon x ultra pioneer boots you list do not have goretex. They are not waterproof. A goretex version exists but it’s not the pioneer

[@manouschkamuilenburg4933]

Ik dacht altijd dat de slaapzak onderin moest en daarna in het middelste gedeelte de zware spullen moeten. En dan eigenlijk zo dicht mogelijk tegen je rug aan. Maar jij doet juist de zware spullen onderin. Maakt het uit hoe je je backpack inpakt?

[@MaRysiaStudio]

Hi! Thanks for sharing your list! Are these sandals comfy? Are they also ok for hiking? I'm looking for hiking sandals and wonder if this could work, coze they're pretty!!

[@floordenil]

Hey! These sandals are very comfy, although I would not recommend them specifically for hiking as they don't offer a lot of support. I have a new pair from Lizard now, still cute and more support!

[@MaRysiaStudio]

@@floordenil thanks!!

[@DARRBEV]

Aeropress is a must lol

[@enjoyphi7378]

Hello from France !

[@dgmstuart]

I’m curious about the fanny pack: I guess it’s worn in a different place to the hip belt? And it doesn’t dig in to your back? I’m wondering if it’s instead of a second hip belt pocket, or if it would work with two pockets?

[@floordenil]

It’s bigger than a hipbelt-pocket, so I can fit my camera in there :). Easier to acces as you carry it a bit higher, indeed! The chord on the back can be a pain in the ass if you put a lot of weight in the fanny pack, but up until now I haven’t had any real issues or frustrations with it :).

[@henriontour]

Dankuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@ForensickSVK]

Hi Floor, I have a question about the quilts. Why have you decided to switch from EE Revelation to Hyberg? Are you satisfied with the new quilt? I am also considering Hyberg, just don’t know if it would fit me (I’m 171 cm tall, but sleep on my side and turn like a rotisserie chicken all night… 😂 Thanks!

[@floordenil]

Hey! I switched to Hyberg because I’m striving towards an all-European setup (most people here are living in Europe and I don’t want to inspire them to pay those big import costs, ordering in America). I’m very satisfied with both! I’m 1m75 and the Hyberg quilt is big enough for me (I sleep on my side and stomach), so I think you’ll be fine :).

[@ForensickSVK]

@@floordenil Thank you so much for the answer! ❤️

[@ForensickSVK]

⁠@@floordenili just want to update, that I really got inspired by your gearlist and got the same sleeping mat (just in the version XLite) and the Hyberg quilt and I love this combo! Super comfy. Much thanks and can’t wait for your next journey! 😍

[@JessicaPutting]

​@@ForensickSVK Good to hear that more people are enthousiastic about the Hyberg. There is not much information on the internet. Which size did you buy? The L or XL? I heard that a quilt must be wide enough to protect you from drafts...

[@ForensickSVK]

@@JessicaPutting L is enough for me :) on the Hyberg website is the sizing, I think the XL is more for tall men.

[@jackdkakk4801]

Great deodorant! =) Thanks for de videos

[@harrykey2448]

Gortex doesn't work in cold, wet Scotland.

[@angelalau28]

Do you check in backpack or take it as hand luggage on plane?

[@floordenil]

As I’m carrying hiking poles, I check my bag in at the airport!

[@adriaanrijkse]

Same here, hate the weight of the flightbag tho Do you use a flightbag or something? Thanks in advance!

[@floordenil]

@@adriaanrijkseI don’t! Sometimes I wrap it in these plastic things at the airport, but lately I’m just tying up the outer bands and checking the bag in as it is. So far, I had no problems with it! Let’s knock on wood now 🤞🏼 :).

[@davidbennett60]

I'd also include a collection of very small light things like safety pin, paper clip, bobby pin, needle and thread, elastic band, some string, etc.

[@jdinge48]

How much litre is the bag?

[@floordenil]

50L!

[@jdinge48]

@@floordenil super. Thanks for the quick reply

[@jzcrossan]

Why don't you just use coffee grounds? Then you won't need the grinder

[@floordenil]

It’s tastier when you grind on the spot :). Personal choice!

[@jzcrossan]

@@floordenil yeah I agree 👍🏼 and I guess it's not a lot of extra weight is it?

[@ramdas363]

@@jzcrossan She already schleps all that other stuff around, does it really make a difference at that point? More things than I'd take even on a regular non-hiking holiday, despite being a place where the next house is never more than 4kms away, often in multiple directions.

[@jzcrossan]

@@ramdas363 thanks for your opinion 👍🏼

[@user-oi8tt1ct7q]

Is all of this 8.5kg?

[@floordenil]

The baseweight: yes! So without food, water and the things I carry on me (my basic layer of hiking clothes and fanny pack) :).

[@user-oi8tt1ct7q]

Thanks! @@floordenil
