What's in my Bag? | Hiking & Camping Gear for Summer/Autumn 2021

[@indiainmotion]

Any questions? Leave them below and I'll try to answer it. PS: The Solar Panel I use is mentioned in the video, and I will probably make a separate video about my camera gear later. For now you can see them on my kit page : kit.co/indiainmotion/filmmaking-gear

[@gauravverma5692]

The link doesnt talk about ur solar panel please provide details

[@indiainmotion]

@@gauravverma5692 The details of the solar panel was in the camping gear kit page. But now I have added it to the filmmaking kit as well. You can find it now.

Thbak you sir for motivation and such wonderful videos, just by looking at your videos I feel iam there on the mountains, also can you please make a detailed video on what you eat in a day and how much ration do you carry for a trip.

Thanks a lot sir, this will be very helpful for me and many other trekkers as well. Just one thing I will request is that the next video which you'll upload, just provide us with the directions about where you started your journey & how you reached the destination. You are an inspiration. Bholenath Ji aapko hamesha healthy rakhein 🙏🏻 Cheers💥

[@MattShafter]

We've spoken before and you said you said the two items you'd never change are the backpack and boots. I am happy to see you trying newer and lighter weight things. If you do go for the sleeping quilt, look to a Katabatic Gear Sawatch quilt with a bit of down overfill, that will take you to a real comfort rating of -11C for only 756g. If you wore all your clothes you would be comfortable to -13C. The patented strap system ensures no drafts either. Can I ask, why two sun shirts? Could you not wash one and dry it on a camp day? ............. All told I would do a total gear weight (not including food and water) in your region of about 4.3kg. I love to assemble gear that is very light weight but still safe, comfortable, and durable.

[@indiainmotion]

I actually bought the Katabatic Flex 15F after this trip. Very impressed with its design, but unfortunately it will be another 6 months atleast before I can try it in the mountains. Btw, I remember saying that I would not compromise on the weight of the backpack and boots, not change them. Any backpack is good as long as it allows me to comfortably carry all the things that I want to carry on my trip. I'am not sure about why 2 shirts though. I could have easily managed with just one shirt for the day and a soft t-shirt for the evening. But it was not a taxing trek and I wanted to spend a few days in the village on the way, so I guess I decided to carry 2 shirts instead of one.

[@MattShafter]

@@indiainmotion Ahhhh good point. I only meant you would not change on the category of boot and backpack. I didn't mean for it to sound like you would only use one single brand.

I usually watch youtube videos at 360p to save on data usage, but for your videos, its either 720p or 1080p thats reserved for sure. Thankgod that you mentioned about how cooking stoves can use a variety of fuels including petrol. So, now I'm going to buy that instead of the normal butane stove that's widely available in trekking stores around the market.

[@indiainmotion]

That's great. But you can watch this video in 144p and wont be missing out on anything :)

hey Hi ! its a pleasure to see you again back in action, sorry I was out of service due to my own medical issues (frostbites) lets see how it works out during this winter season, I enjoy reading the comments and answer section, its always so nice to learn and see something new and to know abour your new "Rucksack", my friends suggestion you should have a look at "Tasmanian Tiger Pathfinder MK ii, (a Tactical Backpack in your field of research) as per my question is where you basically find you favourite place during the winter season to call your home during this winter, where you set up your tent "do you see mice or other small creatures around to "nibble" your precious food ????? I basicall carry a 15 meters para cord to hang my food stuff in a "waterproof sack" up a tree branch :) take care and keep us entertained wish you all the success and stay safe , Namaste

[@indiainmotion]

I will check out the backpack, but I'm pretty happy with my setup right now. As for your other question, I have not any mice nibble at my food but did have a fox steal some food while I was sleeping.

[@filiporoque4997]

@@indiainmotion thanks for your valauble response while in NewZealand we have not come across any "clever Foxes" but NZ have a "Possums" problem, while in the open we used to dig a hole for food and cover it with a Huge heavy stone, for saftey we carried "Fishing string/cord and tie "small Christmas bells "around the "Tent" to alert us in the nights of any movement, hope this small info helps, ( basically there is no perfect solution) thanks and take extreme care of yourself and good luck

[@AbhayJSingh]

That pressure cooker always made me chuckle! But totally understandable as an Indian. I guess we Indians just can't live without the dal-rice staple!

[@indiainmotion]

Frankly I dont care much about dal/rice. I am more of a chappati/sabji guy. But nothing can beat the weight to volume ratio of cooked rice. 1kg of rice would feed me for double the time than 1kg of atta.

[@AbhayJSingh]

@@indiainmotion exactly the reason why I made pulav rice at uni all the time ! 😉

[@indiainmotion]

@@AbhayJSingh I might say dal/rice but I actually cook khichadi 99% of the time as it is more easy and saves a lot of fuel (as compared to cooking dal and rice separately).

[@amudupa]

Using a pressure cooker saves on fuel as it cooks faster.

[@RAPTORRUSTAM]

Good luck for the journey.

[@najmulhudaa1299]

Thank u sir for explaining all the stuff that every trekkers needed to know before going out for hikingg. You explained all the details perfectly except for one thing.. your underwear 😁😄 you just put it away without explaining the details like which brand quality etc😆

[@johnpowell8568]

I like your minimalist approach to equipment, clothing, and foods. One question though; Why do you not use a space/reflective blanket? Yes, they weigh almost one kilogram, but they return the effort with greatly increased heat retention, and they cannot absorb water or lose heat qualities when it rains too much, and everything is wet.

[@indiainmotion]

I just looked up space blankets and they look very very uncomfortable. I cannot imagine using them except in an emergency. Anyway, I purchased the Katabatic Flex 15F down quilt last month and that would be my summer blanket going forward.

[@johnpowell8568]

@@indiainmotion Yes, they are not very comfortable, but they are very efficient at returning body warmth. I thought that during the monsoon season, or any time of heavy rains, or wet-heavy snows, they are worth having. Mostly they are a good defense against hypothermia. Otherwise, I can see you are a veteran outdoorsman and know your own area's needs and conditions. You are lucky to have so much access to the great Himalayan mountains. Namaste!

[@indiainmotion]

Thank you Saurabh. That was a really generous contribution. Very grateful!!

[@mahmoudmarei3117]

I absolutely loved this! You have ultralight gear, but you still carry heavy things which give you pleasure like the pressure cooker. Good perspective imo. One question: do you use your stove inside the tent to warm yourself especially in winter? I personally do that in Soulo (wintertime).

[@indiainmotion]

Inside the tent?? Do you mean inside the vestibule? If so then yes.. I cook inside the vestibule in the evenings. The act of cooking and eating hot food warms me up and then i go straight into the sleeping bag to preserve all that warmth,

[@mahmoudmarei3117]

@@indiainmotion yeah I mean in vestibule. Only problem I have with multifuel stoves is the flames. I have to always start it outside and then I put it inside. Sometimes its my only way to get warm back again in freezing weather (-30 degrees).

[@indiainmotion]

I just keep the tent door open while lighting the stove and close the door when the stove is primed and burning properly. Yes there is always a small fireball when lighting the stove with petrol but I haven't burned down my tent yet!

Dear India In Motion (Saravanan if I am right) You are simply the best explorer I follow on YT as of now. Hats off for your effort. I have a question regarding MSR Whisperlite stove. On average, how many days of cooking is possible on a full can of petrol (900ML) for your cooking needs? Also I would be glad to know the price of this unit in INR and its availability. Do take your time to reply amidst your arduous conditions. Lots of love

[@indiainmotion]

900Ml would last me anywhere between 5 to 7 days. Less during winters when I sometimes have to melt snow for water. This stove is not available in India sadly, I sourced it through friends and family living in the US

[@chimetnamgyal3231]

U are an inspiration ❤️

[@agarwalvs]
