Sweet. How do you like it so far?

[@davids9549]

The 'Big Three' have become the 'Next Three', because these days most hikers' heaviest thing is their Electricals

[@tommcgilliard3598]

First time I've watched. Great video. Thanks and....I've been debating on the Gossamer G4...you sold me on it.

[@goldenblazehikes]

Thanks Tom. Still love the pack, just took it out last weekend. Hope you like it.

[@harrisonmccoin]

Great video! I just got the pack and I love it

[@goldenblazehikes]

Thanks. Hope you enjoy it! Still loving mine too.

[@mitnwes]

Great video. Really like the looks of that pack

[@goldenblazehikes]

Thanks Wes. I really like this pack. It is frameless, so feels a bit odd the first time you use it - but find it to be very comfortable and super light.

[@gregpatterson134]

5# base weight!!!!! I'm so jealous. Great work getting all things to this point. Definitely takes work to get to this point. thanks for sharing Paul.

[@goldenblazehikes]

Thanks Greg. Hope you are feeling better. 😊

@@goldenblazehikes Yes, getting close to back in the woods. Might be able to convince my wife " I sure could do better with a light backpack setup....." Lol

Love the video brother always

[@goldenblazehikes]

Thanks Mook! 😁

[@vibelife5133]

13 pound base weight sounds awesome!

[@goldenblazehikes]

No kidding. 30 years ago was carrying 30+. 😂

[@vibelife5133]

@@goldenblazehikes My fully loaded pack is over 25 lbs easy probably 30lbs+ with winter gear, I may have to look into getting some gossamer gear like yours, that's nice how the tent fits in the side pocket on the outside.

[@goldenblazehikes]

It's a really small pack and would be really tough for winter, but make a great 3 season bag.

[@jodaboda1]

capacity is 30+12; Gorilla is 32+18, so it's basically the same size of main compartment. Mariposa is 36+24. Not sure why they do this.

[@goldenblazehikes]

LOL - no idea.

[@stevevehorn5732]

Do you use smell-proof/animal proof bags when not using the bear can while in the SNP or Smokeys?

[@goldenblazehikes]

Hey Steve. I always hang my food when not using the bear can. They make it easy in the Smokies as each site has bear cables. Otherwise I use the old string method and hang it from a limb. Thanks for watching!

[@jamesking2851]

Say what size is that pack and how tall are you if you don't mind me asking? I bought a large and im thinking maybe i should have bought a medium. Love the pack none the less

[@goldenblazehikes]

Hello James. Bought the medium, I'm 5' - 7". Thanks for watching!

[@jamesking2851]

@@goldenblazehikes Thanks thats very helpful, I definitely need a medium should have paid more attention to the measuring charts.

@@jamesking2851 - I'm 5'8 "but my torso is 20.5", I need size L, can you tell me what is the length of the frame for size L? I want to know if I can take it on a plane as carry-on.
