Is it just me or does Flossy look way better at the end of the video? Also, we're only 10 people away from ONE HUNDRED Patreon supporters. If you want to help support the content from the PCT and beyond, check out www.patreon.com/kylehateshiking/ Love you all.

[@tootsla1252]

Nicely done! Looking forward to following your adventure.

[@yorkiemeetsworld2224]

Flossy got better looking since your last video.

[@k-bar2557]

More handsome but also less jacked..

[@modestadventurers]

It’s impossible for Flossy to get any better looking. That’s just fake news.

[@trailname_ziplock]

🤣🤣🤣 Nah, there can be only one true Flossy 🤣

[@BurroGirl]

I love you guys because you don't take yourselves too seriously! You make me laugh and not get too stressed over the details.

[@NickEDowning]

He has a certain charm. Your styles compliment each other.

[@KyleHatesHiking]

😂😂

[@Coreycry]

for real he's funny while remaining dead serious almost boring , then drops you a 1:25 out of nowhere I spat my coffee

[@adavid2548]

Flossy is awesome. More videos with Flossy please!

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Will do!

[@mattmatthewmatchuu]

Netting that is used for bulk onions at grocery stores works great for cleaning the pots

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

flossy was great at doing the sponsorship! and the ending was pretty funny 😆

[@KyleHatesHiking]

He did great!

[@aaronmcghee2286]

Those shorts really shows "Too much floss." Great video Flossy.

[@KyleHatesHiking]

😂😂

[@bucky716]

Flossy needs to take over this channel.

[@moinab]

LMNT is awesome! I first learned about it on this channel and got the sample pack. Seriously the only hydration product I’ve ever liked.

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Hell ya, thanks for supporting the sponsor!

[@kdavis4910]

This was a fun video. I'm looking forward to the vlogs guys.

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Thank you!!

[@Golddragon214]

You have become ONE. It is time to start the PCT!!!

[@KyleHatesHiking]

!!!

[@campchairchris]

Y'all probably already know this but "The One" has a pretty slippery floor so you might want to see how your sleeping pad reacts so you're not surprised by it out on the trail.

[@michaelb1761]

When I seam sealed my SMD Skyscape Trekker, I used the leftover silicon sealant to paint stripes on the floor. Works well for providing some tackiness to the floor to grip the sleeping pad.

[@petitehiker754]

Burp Cloths > Bandanas. Absorb a lot more moisture and dry faster. Wash, dry and fluff up that quilt ✨

[@dustyc324]

bandana usually suck at absorption. I'm gonna keep burp cloth in mind. golf towel usually has a clip or a hole with a grommet. maybe one of those would be nice. also easy to attach to the outside of the pack. hmmm

[@LMay64]

Love Flossy! My feedback on the new version of GG Trekking poles (my previous pair lasted 6 plus years): My second trip was out in the Gila Wilderness along part of the CDT and one pole completely snapped and splintered. The trail was pretty average, slight rocky, but not what you'd see heading up to a pass or anything as bad as that. It was the lower section that busted. I decided next time, I'm not going to telescope those bottom sections all the way to "stop" like I usually do, and telescope the middle section, which is a little wider, out longer to compensate for the length. I don't know if this will add any strength to the pole or not. Honestly, I lost confidence in them and am not as likely to use them on tougher hikes here in CO because I need a reliable pole for my tarp set up and getting through trails on the CT. Good luck with yours. Have some back up trekking poles ready. I just don't feel like the quality is there with this newer versions. A thought regarding your HG quilt.....sometimes the dirt and oils from using it will begin making the down feathers stick together and lose loft, therefore losing warmth. Washing it will help and restore warmth and make it like new again. Good luck and have a super successful trip out there!

[@accidentalhiker3069]

You get couple of strip of KT tape. It saved me when I tweaked my ankle. San Jacinto Mtn has flying bitey bugs. I hope you treated your things with permethrin. I hope you guys are planning to get to California early before starting. The weather here is way different so get yourselves a little time to acclimate. Get ready to use rocks when pitching tent here. Some areas will be too rocky.

[@ataneRxR]

I love you 2!!!!!! Can't wait for PCT films 👍

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Thanks for watching!

[@freeheel748]

Great video. Funny. Looks like you had fun and I had fun watching.

[@earthlingannie3426]

Best ending to a video I've ever seen! 😂 Absolutely hysterical! Bravo boys! 👏

[@KyleHatesHiking]

So glad you watched until the end lol that's the best part

[@earthlingannie3426]

@@KyleHatesHiking you completely NAILED the "flossy face." I'm still laughing about it. 😂

[@yoalmocalderon3197]

Good stuff! Happy trails

[@yvonnesmith8245]

Awwww, Flossie is so cute! Thanks for the gear hacks!

[@trailname_ziplock]

Okay, I finally ordered the Drink LMNT sample pack...just because of Flossy 🤣

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Thanks Lexie!!

[@ericabraun5116]

Honestly, respect for the ass pad, it’s a small weight penalty to pay for a well needed comfort

[@KyleHatesHiking]

I can look past the ass pad a lot easier than a camp chair

[@robs4516]

You guys are a hoot.

[@KyleHatesHiking]

🦉

[@Chris_Martin707]

Best gear video ever

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Thanks Chris Martin! Big Coldplay fan

[@calmmusicforsleep]

Awesome review! Thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend!

[@wesleydietsch1859]

when you hit southern Washington to Chinook/Snoqualmie Pass ... you will be glad you have the bug net

[@johnchaney9932]

You won't find any ticks in the Sierra Nevadas but there are deer ticks that carry Lyme disease in the Trinity Alps and the Klamath National Forest before you pass into Oregon have a great adventure be safe stay healthy

[@jeffpeters5347]

Best ending ever!😂

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Lmaooo

[@mothhater5134]

Yo Kyle and Flossy: Just a little note about “The One.” I had a ton of issues with it blowing over in wind. Maybe I’m just dumb and wasn’t securing it in totality though. Best of luck on the hike!

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Damn hopefully ours will withstand the wind

[@jhonyermo]

ULA CDT now ‎$179.99. Mox Nix. I love mine and just got it two days ago. So worth it. Got rid of my Z-Pack nero. $200 down the drain.

[@sam.and.moriah]

Good luck out there! You’re Going to have a blast. We are about to enter the Sierras!

[@Archer21344]

I just found out the other day through from testing that Drink LMNT is great for hangovers!

[@DeloraUpwards]

Based on the ending, this is advice that Flossy could use

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Science!

[@dorsalfishing]

We definitely have ticks here on the west coast but as a buddy of mine from Connecticut so elegantly put it, the ticks over here are "like great big puppy dogs". They are huge and have a tendency to just cuddle up with you rather than burrow in right away. I pulled 3 off my pants yesterday one out of my belly button.

[@WeekendsOutsideFL]

A tick in your belly button is not ideal

[@marcsorensen2985]

the only thing i might change is your quilt but it might just be that im a colder sleeper, i would go with a min 20 bag.

[@a.ramosakadrumgrl6677]

Lots of sunscreen, make sure you apply it every 2 hours!! Lots of water too!! It rained last night and it was in the 90s three days ago.

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Damn haha

[@deelo0]

When the director takes over at the end 🤣🤣🤣

[@KyleHatesHiking]

😂😂

Who doesn’t like that little bit of cushion every now and then

[@Self_Proppelled]

I don't think you can take that fuel canister on the plane. Might have to get one out there.

[@misscandy84]

They got snow right now in sierahs

[@heartattackhiker3527]

You'll definitely need a bug net for a week or two in Oregon.

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Will do

[@Diver_Monkey]

Looks like the sponsor is Yuengling Company. Not that I’m complaining. I’m from Pa thirty minutes for Pottsville where Yuengling is born

[@SigfridSWE]

Love this dude 😂👌🏻

[@lisasdayoff503]

You'll be lucky to hang a bear bag anywhere. All the trees branches go downward. And there's no place to hang one in the desert.

[@helpfulcommenter]

Yeah most of the places you'd hang one you're forced to carry a bear can anyway so y'all can just leave that apparatus at home. except find another use for the rock bag because it's dope

[@misscandy84]

Flossy cool from Maine that's awesom

[@TheUltralightMindset]

Damn, I thought I was the only one who puts their spoon in their hat like that. Next level SH*T fellas!!!!!

[@KyleHatesHiking]

🤙🤙

[@phreakout]

oh man, i'm so glad you told flossy to smack his backpack. i swear this is something you perpetually see in ALL GEAR VIDEOS. why is this a thing? anyway, wish you both the best of luck on the pct!

[@michelleharnett1351]

Think about sunscreen lip balm stuff, too.

[@richbanister]

We are receiving fresh snow out here.

[@MikeHacker]

Metal straw good for blowing fire

[@ok-xb6vr]

Do you know if ULA CDT comes seam sealed or just with bound seams? Hopefully dont get too many storms either way. Have fun!

[@CanHike]

Suggestion that you may or may not decide to take… look at some D.B. content to decide what chair will work best. Maybe also a chair support thing? 🤣 Have a great time guys! Had to make an edit: Maybe D.B. Can do a gear shakedown for you? Seriously would be the ultimate in laughs!

[@P373RV2]

Damn i laught so hard… thanks guys and thank you flossy! nice!

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Thanks for watching Peter!

[@tleb8111]

Go! Flossy! 👍

[@aw1008]

Pro tip: decathlon sells an accordion style sleep pad for like 20 dolla!! It's so cheap you can cut it up and have multiple sit pads, kneeling pads, tent entrances, etc.

[@tubewatcher164]

Love the Moxie hat. Moxie is an acquired taste.

[@KyleHatesHiking]

I'm gonna try it today

[@cwicker454]

I'm a Fuzzy follower!

[@GrizzlyGaz]

Check out flossy's catalogue pose! 👌

[@freeheel748]

I replaced my sun umbrella with a cast iron skillet. Unaffected by wind.

[@volrhiannon5936]

are you going all the way to canada?

[@samcarter596]

Let's go!

[@Shrouded_reaper]

Man I hate foam handles. Cork is absolutely essential.

[@Andy-Mesa]

I'm sure by now Flossy has discovered that the power bank solar panel is useless (I had one too and returned it).

[@JamieEnglish]

Oh man, did Flossy get rid of his Instagram account?

[@brycewalburn3926]

Is The One tent big enough to put your pack in the tent with you?

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Yup

[@modestadventurers]

You make an adorable couple. I hope you don’t die. 😋

[@rcbuke]

Wait... you guys aren't sharing The One? Not very UL of you.

[@lauraa1430]

There's a metric fuckton of bugs around Silverwood lake around Big Bear so bug net is the right call!

[@BrianMurfitt]

How did Flossy, get his nickname? And what's his real name? 🤔

[@MikeHacker]

Don't salt make you more thirsty?...

[@jeffortl4495]

Love the lettuce. You look like Nicholas cage in ConAir

[@andymytys]

Next level Thumbnail photo you’ve got there... put Flossy in shorts and it’ll be Click Bait. 🤣

[@KyleHatesHiking]

😂😂

[@ifonlyseethrumyeyes8957]

Jezz Kyle, who's your friend? 😜

[@chrisr2925]

Kyle who? Nice job Flossy.

[@eaferstl]

you guys are silly af hahaha... whats his base weight?

[@KyleHatesHiking]

He doesn't weigh his gear lol I tried to get him to do a lighter pack

[@aurtisanminer2827]

Did he call Kyle ‘Nora’?

[@rachelfoss5455]

SPF Chapstick. Other is just like adding baby oil to your lips. No bueno.

[@phillipp1399]

Holy sh*t Kyle. Don’t let him talk so much anymore or you may get seriously upstaged. Wow. I mean I’m presuming your writing and production have a big impact here but still. And tbh he’s kind of hotter too but in a different way. Speaking of which, it would be cool if you guys were like a couple. Not ribbing you, just saying it would be a neat addition to KZbin/hiking culture- were it the case and not saying it should or shouldn’t be.

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Lmao wtf

[@helpfulcommenter]

You probably won't need that tick key here

[@aaro3455]

does flossy sniff glue??

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Yes

[@markhaneklau5021]

Where’s your firearm?

[@MixMeister5000]

" Dan Becker sucks " 😂

[@mcapaldi3]

Good to see Floss for once. Screw you Kyle

[@Jan.harvey]

Rent your canister!

[@jasonzeone1334]

Thumbnail pic needs to be a tinder profile pic

[@colinking3314]

I used the one and the lt5s on the Colorado trail last year and they did me well. The foams gonna break off the handles though, not very durable.

[@colinking3314]

I just wrapped them in athletic tape when they cracked

[@takinghomethetrail9158]

Flossy looks like this guy I used to buy weed from

[@KyleHatesHiking]

😂😂

[@modestadventurers]

I’m disappointed you haven’t made the life changing move of getting an Uber cool camp chair. I don’t expect-much from Kyle but your better than this Flossy.

[@tzrunnerau]

Glad to hear from The Floss Boss. Video would have been better without Kyle.

[@KyleHatesHiking]

😳

[@Schnot]

👌🏼🤣😂😂👍🏿

[@mattaylor8935]

Just do it great you got decent gear you in Washington now wtf

[@woodyshepherd6904]

Just my opinion... trekking pole straps are useless. Take them off and you'll never look back!

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Nah

[@globaldouglas6375]

After almost 5,000 miles (and still using my original Leki poles, except for one pole replacement on first AT thru-hike) I can't imagine removing the straps. I find them particularly useful on steeper elevation changes (esp. descents) and/or when I'm pushing it to my limit. Plus the straps are great for hanging the poles in shelters when not in use.

[@Rougarou2023]

Flossy have you ever cheated on Kyle and watched a Dan Becker video on trail for “advice”?

[@terrypanama8004]

Lmao thanks Obama ain't that right

[@hikebot]

Don’t wear that hat.

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Boo

[@moinab]

Followed both of you on IG!

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Thanks!

[@theamericanhiker9655]

Good luck boys

[@KyleHatesHiking]

Thanks buddy!
