How to pack your bag for a multi-day hike in the backcountry

[@mia13144]

Heck yes. Thank you for not doing a 30 minute video this was perfect!

[@MadisonClysdalee]

Great to hear! Thank you

[@katls136]

​@@MadisonClysdaleeI would LOVE a full video where you talk through all your gear choices, packing tips, weight of pack, etc

[@robertcritchley1338]

So super that you are able to do this activity. For many, it's just a dream. Do as much as you can. Thank you for bringing me to my past. My wife and I bugout off-grid for 3-4 weeks in the Georgia mountains most years. Thank you and keep at it.

[@ricoelectric]

One tip I would give would be to pack your tent poles separate from the rest of the tent. That way you can compress your tent and it can fit in your pack.

[@Dr.T5949]

I can vouch for this one. I have my poles in one of the side pockets and my tent proper now fits in a 5L stuff sack (Softball Size)! So much easier to pack!

[@giovanni5819]

Damn Rico! Thanks for the tip! Definitely going to use it

[@Masterkey96967]

I will be doing this from now on

[@RRavencraft]

Awesome idea !

[@thesacvroom]

I do the same thing.. And also, avoid putting heavier things at the bottom of your bag.. So hanging a tent at the bottom is not advisable..

[@recondovargas3788]

LOVE HOW YOU LOVE THE OUTSIDE AND CAMPING. VERY NICE AND SMART CAMPING AND HIKING WITH YOUR DOG ❤️ ALWAYS HAVE EYES ON YOUR SURROUNDINGS !! I NOTICED YOU PACKING YOUR BACK PACK AND WHAT I DID FOR YRSSSSSSSS IS EVERYTHING GOING INTO OUR RUCK SACKS I PUT TWO TRASH BAGS INSIDE AND THEN EVERYTHING GOES INTO THE TWO TRASH BAGS ALWAYS KEEPING THEM WARM AND DRY AND CLEAN. AFTER YOU FINISH YOUR CAMPING YOU NOW HAVE A TRASH BAG FOR DIRTY OR WET CLOTHS AND YOU'LL STILL HAVE ONE TRASH BAG FOR YOUR CLEAN CLOTHS. I LOVE CAMPING WINTER, SUMMER, AND FALL TIME. LIVED MOST OF MY LIFE IN THE JUNGELS, DESERTS, MOUNTAINS, AND SWAMPS. 30 YRS US ARMY RECONDO VETERAN.

[@jshepard152]

Nice. Water bottles always go to the side or bottom. If it leaks, you don't want it soaking your clothes and sleeping bag.

[@willcraig1203]

Love your videos! Hiking with me and my pup soon, your tips are great! Hope to move into longer hikes this year!

[@Swimdeep]

I really love you unabashedly doing your pack shakedown for the world to see. A change I’ve made over the last to years is TP 🧻 to UL portable bidet. There is a learning curve but practice (at home!) makes perfect on trail. Not packing poop paper is a delight.🌿

[@RealBoiJare]

I always love to see people gear. Looks good! I think share the same tent as you - just bought mine this year on sale

[@davidcastro181]

😊 Nice pack. I’ve always wanted to get into backpacking but never really had a chance.

[@HikingWithShawn]

I think this is a very efficient way to pack your backpack! It gave me ideas on how to pack mine a little better. Thanks for a great short!

[@MadisonClysdalee]

What I bring for a multi-day hike 👇🏻 63 L Pack Bottom of pack: - sleeping bag in compression sack - puffer jacket - fleece base layer long sleeve - Baffin Hybrid Slippers + socks (I hike in these socks the next day) - extra leggings (I sleep in these & hike in them the next day) - gloves Middle of pack (heaviest) - jetboil + spork - camp food - toiletries - sleeping bag - pillow Brain: - first aid - headlamp - bug net - water filter - rain cover - snacks - bug spray - face sunscreen Outside of bag: - sit pad - tent - toilet paper - crampons - mug - bear spray - water bottle - tripod

[@velotank]

Thank you! Great video and informative. May I ask what brand/model backpack you have?

@@seldomseenn sounds like fun

[@DoYouHaveCRPS]

@@MadisonClysdaleeYou’re going to learn your lesson the hard way when you get a leak in your water reservoir & soaks your pack because you didn’t line it.. Also, pack your tent inside of your pack, poles outside. You’re welcome!😂

[@aydinsha]

Awesome. Do you know the est total weight? And about how far you're hiking?

[@sparthacuster]

So sleeping bag in the bottom or in the middle ?

[@Hez.cragzer]

In 45 years and serving in the British military, hiking and wild camping all my life, I’ve never heard the lid of a rucksack being called “THE BRAIN” you Americans crack me up 😂

[@nikolai6489]

Do you put your tent outside or inside? I know most put sleeping bag inside at bottom

[@Chase3141]

See there's your problem: This is a backpack, not a rucksack.

[@juan_salvador_gaviota]

We also don’t wear THONGS on our feet, and we really love our FANNY packs. 😂

[@johnnyolson258]

[@JohnBingo-p3h]

I was a grunt for a little over a decade. No matter how carefully I planned and packed, I invariably found myself inverting my ruck and shaking it to get what I needed.

[@LeopoldElwes]

It's more fun to check the Fed and State park news and see how much search and rescue costs them in the end......😅 Then the ER omg

[@BravoGolf-vw4ec]

Packing light gives room for lifesaving equipment. Where’s her first aid, tourniquets, quick clot, gauze for stuffing wounds? It’s no different than going open ocean, traversing the Pacific. You prepare for the worst and hope for the best! Every time! BTDT. Having your shit together saves lives and saves essential services for those who truly need it. Yeah, that’s snobby enough…..

I love all your hiking videos. I haven't ever slept outside or carried such a backpack and the longest I've hiked was 30km in the Alps.

[@UmbreonBoi88]

I can tell your from Wisconsin just from the way you say "bag" lol 😂 or bey-g, a girl 8 use to work with use to say it like that and she was a cheese head 🧀 as well, recently watched a video of someone saying it's for sure a Wisconsin thing too 😊 awesome videos to btw! 🙌

[@donaldlee6760]

I live in Northern California and backpack in Yosemite. Over here we must use a bear canister to store food, chapstick, bug spray, basically anything with a smell. We don't need bear spray because Yosemite rangers advise backpackers to act aggressive toward bears, throwing pine cones and sticks and yelling at them. I once saw a group of teen boys running full speed behind a bear inside of Little Yosemite Village (the main camp site before reaching Half Dome) yelling and laughing and having great fun chasing this one bear. That same bear came back around 3 AM sniffing my backpack.

[@RRavencraft]

I have those Baffins, omg huh ! Crazy to be able sleep without cold feet! I got the wine color on Amazon for 12 dollars Feb, 2024. So tempted to grab another pair. I got the booties for car camping probably ten years ago and those are amazing as well just too big for a smaller pack.

[@MoonBeam555]

Are those water reservoirs full when you pack them?

[@jackluke6209]

With the goal being to position the heaviest objects in the middle against your spine, I wonder if you fit the tent in your pack just above you sleeping bag. At the very bottom and away from your back seems like it would throw your balance off.. idk just my thoughts

[@DragonsBeard444]

Love it, i really envy countries that allow you to camp just where ever. Where i live you are basically restricted to camping sites, which are always totally full and just no good if you want to go away from people.

[@lv834]

What backpack do you use?

[@JacqInTheWild]

I am always intrigued by everyone's tent packing habits. Unless wet, my tent goes in the backpack. Although winter camping it does sometimes end up on the outside.

[@owenmb984]

It's not realistic with a tent of that size

[@RJ-pu8yh]

How much does your pack weigh?

[@mountainguyed67]

It’s says right in the video, 63 lbs. 28.5 kg

[@mountainguyed67]

Oops! Now I see it’s 63 liters, not 63 lbs. She doesn’t give the weight.

[@Crimemastergogola]

63lbs would be insane. My guess is around 40-50 lbs

[@jenniferlindsey6391]

Do you bring and other protection besides bear spray? As a solo female hiker I worry more about humans with bad intentions. Advice?

[@panda_dva2261]

I have a question. Putting your tent hanging from the bottom doesnt create some force that pulls your back? Would it not be better to put the tent inside the pack towards the middle to be right on your back to distribute the weight alot better?

So you can predict there will be no rain? I mean,if your bag is that strong to hold rain i still prefer to put trash bag inside the bag and fill that trash bag with your equipments,or if you even want to be more advanced. You can pack each shirt in its own plastic so that it leaves just stuff that will be used so much in the way to campsite easy to grab
