I’m glad that neither of you got hurt on that trail. As a certified outdoor guide and paramedic I know about that trail. It’s extremely dangerous and they give very stern warnings about it. I’m glad nothing happened to you both. It’s not something I would take a group on in fact, I wouldn’t take myself on it given that it rained so much there in the fact that it has no protection whatsoever, it’s just absolutely terrifying. Glad you’re both OK.

@eric_hanson7 ай бұрын
it's widely considered a dangerous trail. However the conditions really matter. If its raining or just rained, then the slippery nature of the trail and possibility of floods (multiple river crossings) would make it a no go. But if you have dry conditions then it's much safer, just very scary!

Two thumbs up to your comment about the trekking poles. My wife and I went to Maui last yea, travelled totally with carry-on luggage. We weren't backpacking but planned on some hiking, so for the sake of my ailing knees we went to a Big Box Store in Kahului and bought a $20 pair of trekking poles that worked just fine. We 'donated' them to our AirBnB host's recreational equipment stash to avoid hassles in getting them back home...

The ultralight backpack that I decided upon after using a disappointing ZPacks Arc Haul ("Squeak! Squeak I say!") is The Seek Outside Divide 79L backpack. It's amazing. It's not as light as the Arc Haul, but depending on how you set it up, it can get pretty darn close. Last I checked, the Arc Haul can't carry 200 lbs.. The Divide can carry 200 lbs.. It carries 50 pounds very comfortably. The strap-n-buckle system is ingenious. The front pouch is made tougher than the pouch on the Arc Haul. A large Bear Vault fits horizontally, perfectly. Most importantly, the straps DON'T slip. And the straps on the Arc Haul? You know the answer. If you're carrying extra gear (winter gear, camera gear, bear canister, etc.), this is a pack worthy of your consideration.

I've found that a lot of accommodations will hold a bag for you in their storage area, if you are coming back to stay at their establishment, or stayed there and want them to hold it until your flight leaves so you can explore the city that day. A lot of rail stations, especially in Europe, have lockers you can use as well.

Thanks for the great tips. I am especially interested in how the Outdoor Vitals CS40 pack compares to the Z-packs Arc Haul. I got an Arc Haul last year, to save weight (due to back issues) but have not been impressed with the fit. The main issue I have is a problem many hikers have mentioned with regard to this pack: the inability to reach the water bottles. The pockets are upright and very hard to reach. Is the OV pack better about that? Another issue I have is the top of the internal frame pushes against the back of my head while going uphill. (Yes, I got the smallest frame they had.) Is the OV pack shorter in frame length?
@eric_hanson7 ай бұрын
I haven't used the Z-packs Arc Haul so I can't compare them. The OV pack also has upright pockets but we haven't found them to be a pain point of the pack. Neither of us have had issues with the frame pushing against the back of our heads but maybe depending on how high you stack gear, it could? But I mostly don't think it would do that. Aside from it being probably too small in capacity for most of my trips, it's the best pack of its style that I've used.

I myself made this error so I try to prevent anyone else from doing the same. Duck down does get a funky smell going on too. They have a neat design and I would love to see them improve it and be more transparent to the customer about what they are getting. I could also say the same for most manufacturers and marketing in all the different markets not just backpacking.
