JOHN MUIR TRAIL GEAR GUIDE | Part 4: Extras

[@TahoeTrailRunner23]

You might get shit for the multi tool, but as a handyman I can complete 80% of projects with that tool… so well worth the weight!

[@lightwalker4558]

Very nice gear vids. Thanks. I have most of my JMT gear from prior hikes. I'm getting the BV550 and trowel new from REI as I want to see what fits in advance and would pay more on ebay for new. Go figure! The deuce3 trowel seems like a sound choice. I can't afford a nice watch but will bring my fitbit along. I will also bring my GoPro and new Google pixel 5 phone. Wish me luck in this year's lottery.

[@itravel24]

Any luck ?? What day did you plan on going ?

[@lightwalker4558]

@@itravel24 I won't be applying for a couple of weeks and it can take 3 weeks total to get a response. I will keep you posted.

[@mambojambostudio]

So stoked about this series

[@papiquetravel]

thsank youuuuuu

[@BoundForNowhere]

You are so welcome

[@BarefootMonkey23]

Your channel has quickly become my favorite. Watching your videos always seem to brighten my day. :-)

[@BoundForNowhere]

You are all too sweet!

[@dougmeyer2562]

Really great (and honest) reviews. Helpful for everyone - even those just on day hikes!

[@juliebutterfield380]

Ahh, I’ve fallen prey to your influence - I’ve just bought a new pair of trainers for walking in, the Columbia shirt and a pair of sandals. I’m going on a camping holiday, walking in the Scottish Highlands in a week and I have perfectly good existing gear but watching your review made me do it....... ... Oh well, so much for minimalism on my part! But thank you for all the information and entertainment. You’re doing a great job, loving your videos, so organised, structured and thoughtful, and of showcasing your beautiful country.

[@BoundForNowhere]

I'm so sorry! We didn't mean to make you spend money, but only to inform you ;) The Scottish Highlands are high on our list by the way!

[@lenward474]

Film lady!! Good on you! Been using f3hp since made. The 28 is my go to for landscape. Some like 35 but I find the 28 just works with no edge issues. Lots of used out there. Have fun,keep on developing!!

[@BoundForNowhere]

GOOOOOOD to know! Today I was actually going to start looking for a good landscape lens for my camera! Thanks for the tip!

[@johnguertin5054]

Check out the thermocell. Maybe not for ultraweight hiking (maybe yes for me!) I use the original one. It sets up a force field that biting bugs hate with about a 10' radius. Seriously my wife would not camp without it. It makes you think there are no bugs around! You can even wear it while you hike. The downside is it makes a bit of trash with butane canisters and foil but NO BUG SPRAY. We don't even bring spray anymore. My son is super allergic to mosquito bites and it has been a lifesaver for him.

[@BoundForNowhere]

I hear great things about those! We've thought about getting one for the truck!

[@johnguertin5054]

@@BoundForNowhere absolute game changer. Get the original not the "patio one" I also have a belt holder for it that holds the unit and the refills

[@perfectlylonely]

Thanks, Owen

[@BoundForNowhere]

Our pleasure!

[@chrisnigul]

Hey guys, I have a few questions relating to the camera and the batteries, hopefully you can help me out on this 1. I'll be rocking the a6600 on the trail and I was wondering how many minutes do you get out of 1 battery when recording in 4K? 2. How many charges do you get out of the anker battery bank to charge the camera battery? 3. Also, was it easy to ask the staff at resupply spots to charge your stuff, or did you have to pribe them lol? Cheers, Chris

[@mkramme]

Great video as usual - I have the same watch and love it as well for the info it provides for hikes etc. I wear it as well most days.

[@BoundForNowhere]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@alwaysancient]

Such a good list. Jotted down a ton. I swear by the CBD patches to help with inflammation. Also, grounding, in my experience does help with reducing inflammation.

[@duncdunc76]

Great series Guys I thoroughly enjoyed it thanks for sharing!! Shooting with film, now that's an enthusiast for sure! Looking forward to your additional thoughts on the in reach, I've been thinking about getting one for a while now.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Yeah we look forward to putting that review together! We've really enjoyed the InReach and have used it for a few trips since the JMT! That thing is worth it's weight in gold!

[@dennisoverholts8396]

I wish I had taken wilderness firstaid and cpr, wilderness EMT is a good one too. Those courses would be sonhelpful since you guys are always so remote. Love you guys and your videos.

[@maddie4077]

Cant find the list of all the products.

[@BoundForNowhere]

It's the blog post listed in the description: www.boundfornowhere.com/blog2/2019/jmt-gear-guide-extras

[@casey7783]

I'm confused about Owen's Sony setup... it looks like the lenses are full frame but the camera itself is a crop sensor? Wasn't that a bit of a mismatch?

[@BoundForNowhere]

We had both cameras at the time which is why we have full frame lenses. Now we only have full frame after some upgrades

[@lillypatience]

Thanks for taking the time to do this series! I had no idea that Dr. Bronner's wasn't biodegradable in water...good to know! I just started giving my 14 year old Golden CBD oil...what a difference! :-)

[@BoundForNowhere]

We hear great things about giving CBD to pets! And yes about Dr. Bronners a park ranger told us that! Apparently it is a common misconception!

[@tailhookactual]

Great video, MAK and Owen! As a paramedic, I highly recommend adding a tourniquet and emergency pressure bandage to your med kit. Insurance definitely worth the weight penalty :)

[@BoundForNowhere]

I agree with that! We will add it to our supply list for our future trips!

[@mikeecker146]

I see you do VW van apparel. You should consider doing some for the Taxa Cricket camper too. There is a Cricket Facebook page too. It is a growing community.

[@BoundForNowhere]

I was hired by them to design those!

[@dennisoverholts8396]

A.T. threw Hike? Pacific Crest Trail????

[@johnhill9504]

Gosh, that's cool you shot film. Was it expensive? Where did you take it to get it developed?

[@anthonyhitchings1051]

Back in 1973 I did a week-plus hike in the south island of new Zealand with my Pentax H2 film camera - I had a 35 mm prime as my only lens I felt that it worked out well (I shot slides).

[@vincentlinares4601]

Great video. Do you have the Sunto watch with or without the heart rate monitor?

[@johneason6540]

Hello again. Would you please add links to the watch and the cbd product provider. Thanks

[@BoundForNowhere]

There is a link to a blog post that has the links to everything listed in the video!

[@johneason6540]

Thank you. I overlooked the link.

[@williamkenyon9858]

Ok, gotta be honest here...the big watch looks great on you! Another great video. Thanks for including the portion on CBD oil. Been thinking about that a lot lately given the increased access even over here on the east coast. SO, not sure if it was in the pack video, how much was your pack weight with a full bear can? I am not a camera person like you guys so I will be less that weight. Be safe out there!

[@BoundForNowhere]

My pack with one day of food, full water, and bear can was 23 lbs! I would add a pound of food a day roughly on top of that

[@BoundForNowhere]

And thank you for the kind words about the watch! I really love this thing!

[@57NUPE]

Hey Mac and Owen!!! I really enjoy your channel and hopefully I will get my rig together and meet you on the road. I do have a question about your new rig; The Vinyl Pop-up top; how is it holding up? How often do you clean it and have you had any issues with it? I had a pop up trailer way back in the day and I constantly had to clean the cloth/vinyl portion so mildew would not build up on it. I know you guys are full time and I wanted to know how the pop top was working out!! Thanks and can’t wait for the next segment!!!

[@BoundForNowhere]

Hey so it has held up really well and has not needed to be cleaned yet. I will talk about that in our next video which is a 6 month review of the camper!

[@borntoball]

I think with the new Huawei watch with a battery last 14 days you will change your mind on the Suunto🙂🙂

[@rd4660]

Love your channel, but as a certified old guy, I have to chuckle at all your battery powered technology stuff. How have I backpacked for 50+ years with a compass and paper map is beyond me. :-)

[@BoundForNowhere]

We could do it if we had to but we like a lil technology! Also we were map guiding the whole trail ;)

[@CopperCityPatriot]

Hey Mac. Wouldn'tt a pamphlet and/or knowledge of Morse code, be prudent for long ventures? We don't know any. But we thought about it one night relaxing by a campfire watching a couple raccoons eating our popcorn.

[@theleafybean]

HI! I loved this series. Thank you so much for sharing all of the information with us here on KZbin :) I'm sure you've gotten this question before, but where are the shorts you are wearing from?? Would you recommend them for hiking long distances? They just look so comfy. Thanks again!

[@57NUPE]

Hey guys, I have another question; how are you utilizing the back seat in your SR5?? Did you take the seats out or build a shelving system?

[@BoundForNowhere]

We left the seats in because we have to have a seat to belt in the cat as well as the occasional friends we carry. One seat is dedicated to holding our table, cat, and ladder. I will include it on the next video

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

ABOUT THE FILM / WHERE DO YOU GET THE FILM PROCESSED & WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR FILM ? THANK YOU ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ! ENJOYED !

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much! So film we buy in camera stores or on Amazon and we get all of our film processed through The Darkroom Lab! They are really great at what they do!

[@johneason6540]

This is a very informative video for me. Several things mentioned that I had questions on. Good job on the entire series for gear,food too. Great trail video series of the JMT. I have subscribed. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

[@BoundForNowhere]

Thank you so much! We're happy to have you along for the ride!

[@pierogies_and_pie]

Did you guys know your final base weight?

[@BoundForNowhere]

It was a little less than 20lbs

[@familyfun247]

Where was the cat during all of this?

[@BoundForNowhere]

She was in a cat hostel in Sacramento

[@57NUPE]

I Know I’m asking a lot of questions, but which inverter did you go with? How may watts was it and which brand did you choose?? Thanks again!!
