One of the best videos I have seen on how to pack a backpack for climbing. Very informative and one of the reasons that I am going to choose RMI for our ascent.

Bottom zipper and divider is for your sleeping bag and tent to keep it separable from your other gear

I would have liked to know how to pack it for a day hike. I plan to start my climb from the parking lot around 9 AM, summit and be back at my car before sunset.

Something too note... stuffing your bag and jacket into a stuff sack... you create a cylinder it will not conform to the interior of the pack and you will end up with small pockets of wasted space... kind of like putting a peg in square hole. I prefer just to stuff my sleeping bag into the bottom of the pack stuff sack free and that way it fills the space at the bottom of pack entirely... throw your jacket on top of it... then I fold my sleeping mat flat... (inflatable type) and place it on top of the jacket... then load pack as you will... I think it is a more effective way to utilize the interior bottom of your pack. The garbage bag will help keep it dry it you use one. Personally I do not... I do use a rain cover... haven't had any issues with dampness... I am a backpacker only not a mountaineer...

I don't use a garbage bag, but I do use a waterproof liner bag with a roll top. That liner bag I use over, and over. I must admit, using a liner is more of a hassle than a rain cover. However, I feel it's a better solution when conditions get really wet.

I don't get it - I thought you said you can compress down too much with a compression sack, and yet you are putting the parka in in addition to the sleeping bag and then using your body weight to compress them. Won't that damage the down just as much if not even more?
@timc75955 жыл бұрын
It takes more compression than that to damage the insulation and probably requires more than 24 hrs of compression as well.
@KestonMoore5 жыл бұрын
you just cant let it sit compressed for a long time.

@@BlueInOrangeAgain Yes, one should never store a sleeping bag compressed.That goes for down bags and synthetic bags as well.
@p.richter95924 жыл бұрын
I personally would never compress my down bag that much. Mybe I'm over cautious, but better to compress a little less, than too much. After all, down bags are quite expensive. And, I can't afford to replace my bag on a regular basis.

nice video, good choice of placing stuff. but i will never understand why people treat their gear so brutal, for example will tear their zippers like that. why not move them gentle and need 0.5 sec longer? the zipper will thank you :)

I'm sure the equipment can take a lot of beating. However, I like to be gentle with my equipment (that way I hope it lasts longer). "Take care of your equipment, and your equipment will take care of you".
