My wife and I drink a shot every time we see the bidet in your videos.

[@cwiseguy1328]

Congrats on becoming a father Justin!!!

[@davidcooper8390]

Good gear list, getting a tent for under $150(even if it is a 1P) is a fantastic value.

[@deevine7940]

I have the Hikenture pad and I love it. I have never had any issue with the valve and find it very easy to inflate and deflate. 👍

[@brentperron6914]

Happy to say I have a few of the items and they all have worked well. The little flashlight, MT100 jacket, and pad especially, have surprised me with how well they performed at their price! Even the charging bank is my go to for traveling in general not just pack packing. Good list Justin! Look forward to seeing how the pad does in colder temps too. Have used it down to 10c and found myself really warm still, so I'm hoping for good things!

[@kcricket39]

I have the Hikenture pillow, and I love it! Its about the same price as the Trekology ($22 vs $20 USD) but is a different shape that works a lot better for me. Ive not tested the pad strap on it, though, because im a mummy bag person.

[@PaoYong]

This is such a good list in every way.

[@IanTheOutdoorGuy]

I really want to try the trekology pillow. Good colour selections

[@AldenWeebsta]

It's great. For $20 you really can't go wrong.

[@danbar32]

Quadzilla is doing a budget AT hike with $385.00 in gear. A lanshan 1 type tent seem to be working for him.

[@zakafx]

I bought thst sleeping pad from your last video, its comfy! Tried it last weekend. Looking forward to using it in the colder temps. Thanks Justin, you rule! It was on sale for $75CAD a few weeks ago but regular canadian price is $99.

[@4i4i14]

Rock front 👍👍👍 Like how it combines with Nemo's Tensor long-wide.

[@jamescrews3516]

Very nice setup,bro!!

[@Obi-Wan_Pierogi]

I need a pink spoon. I need a flavour enhancer. Best tip!

[@CaptivatingVisualsMedia]

Thank you for this Justin! Super helpful for building our packs for next season

[@Andy-x3i8y]

That inexpensive power bank also out performs almost every other power bank. It’s rated at 10,000 mA but it’s actually 15,000 mA. It beats any of the big names out there. I have two of them and I love them.

[@georgesolanakis8264]

"TOP SECRET" really Justin! 🤣

[@draekko_]

Revisiting this video, finally got me the Hikenture sleeping pad, you're right the vavle is finicky but if you use a tongue depressor, popsicle stick, or preferably a pink long spoon handle to leave the valve open which then works ok to get the air out faster than having to handle the valve every two seconds.

[@brosoutdoorsofficial]

I've found (And I belive it may have said on the packaging) that you can pull the flap sort of out of the value and it will catch itself in the hole to dump air quickly

[@draekko_]

@@brosoutdoorsofficial i'd rather not pull on anything that might break out in the field, especially if your tired or cold you might pull to hard and break it. It looks fragile AF. Ergo i'd rather wedge something non sharp in there than possibly break it. It's not like it was a Nemo or Xterm or some other big name where you could get it fixed or replaced under warranty so being chinesium products they have technically no warranty imo whatever the paper says in the box. So i'd rather baby it than not.

[@brosoutdoorsofficial]

@@draekko_ I don't know if I was fully clear earlier where nothing is actually coming out, but more that the flap that serves as the valve is just being flipped in the opposite direction as if you were to press it and let air out. That being said, it's definitely fair to want to avoid any potential strain on the pad but in my experience it seems pretty harmless. (edit: there is a visual of what I mean on the 3rd picture of the amazon listing page)

[@vlanazigo]

Surprised to see Ukrainian brand - Rockfront. They're making good and affordable products. I'm using one of their sleeping bag - nice piece of gear for the price. Thanks for video!

[@Walk-retirement-travel]

I’m interested in the hiking stick you use. And I almost only see you use 1 but I think that’s because your usually filming

[@r2herzog]

It’s the Komperdell Camera Staff…

[@Berttheturt314]

Also it's very easy to make toothpaste tablets by just letting blobs of toothpaste dehydrate with air on a sheet overnight and then coating them with a little baking soda to avoid sticking

[@frogturtle]

Love the content man! Great video as usual. That sleeping pad looks more comfortable than my xtherm…

[@nicholaslafferty3928]

I cut a tarp and sewed it into a mid tent, ground sheet is tyvek. Myog backpack with ccf mat pocket for rigidity. That way I have winter and summer kits for under 1000. Thermarest pad and bag for winter Klimit xframe pad and northface bag for summer. Black diamond shell, marmot midlayer, various merino base layer. Showa black gloves, milspec wool liner gloves. Not sure what else but i was boelrn into poverty and while climbing out can still afford and understand gear by employing myog wherever possible, even with a trowel.

[@nathanlockhart3876]

Why does no one talk about about stomach sleepers?

[@kcricket39]

No one likes us! I'm kidding, but I think we're the most rare. I don't think most people can stomach sleep without being on a real mattress. I've had decent luck with the Klymit Static V Lite Insulated and a mummy bag from Big Agnes. It isn't an ultralight set up, but it has worked for me so far.

[@northeast2702]

great vid. Love this channel so much

[@FractalLover213]

another great vid, thanks

[@jeffreycarman2185]

Thanks for the great video.

[@jbvertexx]

I really like these budget gear list videos. Regarding tents, there are many cottage options for tents for just a bit more than the Lanshan that are totally worth the mention. Gossaamer Gear One, Tarptent (Preamble, Protrail, Notch, Stratospire 1), Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo, Durston Xmid 1). All of those I'd recommend before the Lanshan. Also recommend the Uniqlo Ultra Light Down collection for a solid budget down jacket.

[@elizabethzheng1488]

How come you recommend them higher than the 3FUL Lanshan?

[@jbvertexx]

@@elizabethzheng1488 All of these are going to be higher quality and will be supporting a cottage brand rather than the Lanshan.

[@dylanpausic5026]

When will the pot lid be available 👀

[@scottyplug]

I want mostly all of this. . .

[@bertman4]

Regarding availability, I think it's okay to introduce people to gear that is not available world wide. In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing some of the MEC gear you might have up in Canada.

[@Colby168]

Is there a good website to buy used gear?

[@whogotgame101]

Kakwa 55 is 🐐

[@Berttheturt314]

I wish the moondance was just a tad warmer for a bit more money. 20 limit rating is the sweet spot for me if I'm only going to own one bag

[@MattyOutdoors]

That pad has been on my radar for a winter pad. And I'm always baffled that the decathlon jacket is more expensive in the US then up here in Canada. Its only 85 canadian

[@kcricket39]

I travel internationally for work a good bit, and I am considering bringing a spare duffel for my next trip to Spain to buy a bunch of things at Decathlon because just about everything is cheaper outside of the US.

[@garylindenmuth7468]

I have one and is a great tent

[@USMCdude001]

This is ironic as I was making a wish list of gear to help me meet the UL threshold but I was looking for more budget friendly items. I'd be interested to see your thoughts on the Naturehike 65L backpack as that will be my upgrade pack. Same volume as my current pack but nearly a pound lighter. I love the pad recommendation though, I hope they bring it to the US soon as that R value is something serious! Peace!

[@philsmith2444]

Have you ever tried the Granite Gear Crown series of packs? They’re a little heavier than the Durston at 2.5lb for regular length, if you leave the lid behind it’s 2.25lb (55l capacity) and I think another 6oz if you remove the frame sheet (I wouldn’t myself.) I got my Crown2 60l for $75 new about 2.5 years ago, MSRP is $200 but you can find them for $125ish often. Much more than 32lb and mine starts to become a little uncomfortable but it might just take a little change in packing. Up to around 30lb, though, it’s amazingly comfortable. Plus you get nice long load lifter straps and a hip belt good for up to 42” waist. Huge hip belt pockets with smooth zippers, too. The Crown3 60l MSRP is a little more, I’ve seen them for $175 but don’t need another pack. Weights are about the same, you can add a 3oz aluminum stay that pushes the nominal weight rating from 35lb to 40+.

[@skidrx]

Great video from a dad! 🎉 I dare you to say 'refined' one more time. But in all seriousness, great review

[@abibayuaji3328]

there is a specific wind barrier thing for brs-3000t, i think i see one in alibaba

[@UncleHobbot]

@ROCKFRONT is super cool!

[@kyletanner7501]

What about the mesh shirt and the alpha direct mid layer?

[@TheNewGreenIsBlue]

Hey @JustinOutdoors , one thing I've NEVER seen mentioned on anyone's list of ultralight gear is Decathlon's MT900 Down sleeping bag. Is it any good? A down sleeping bag for $240 CAD seems reasonable. 950 g 500g of down. 800 cuin 90/10 mix down/feathers. 0º comfort / -5º Limit I don't know if it's bad or good or just meh... as I never see any reviewers mention it. How does it compare to the Moondance? I know you've extolled the value of Decathlon before, so I figured I'd reach out and get your opinion. I guess the Moondance is quite a bit lighter.

[@JustinOutdoors]

The MT900 is a really solid bag and one of my top recommendations, but is a little on the heavy side for the temp rating. Pretty standard for bags though. If someone likes sleeping bags and wants the best option out there (not even budget option necessarily), then then the MT900 is the way to go.

[@TheNewGreenIsBlue]

@@JustinOutdoors Thanks so much for the reply! I always wondered why it wasn't mentioned. The cynic in me always wondered if a lot of YTers can't get some of these larger "consumer" brands like North Face/Ice Breaker to send them samples to test... whereas random Amazon brands and cottage companies will... but I know you've put Decathlon stuff to the test before and it's very accessible to most, so nice to hear how it compares!

[@keepitroosting]

cheaper and in my opinion better quilt option! Paria Outdoors Thermodown 30 quilt its $160. Comfort rated to 30 I just did the Nikwax waterproof down treatment to make it even better.

[@tannerwilcox8942]

Is packwizard open source? I'd love to add some features to it like a wishlist.

[@Mikey-rm4yw]

As a fellow Canuck, I came to your vid to see a setup under a grand. Then I see you're using 1k USD..... sheesh.

[@nalonabrato8900]

It’s a fact! Food eaten with a pink spoon tastes best.

[@jayfinch4174]

Lanshan is kind of outdated (the design has its flaws), since cajnyz guys came up with a copy of Durston xmid 2, you can find it from 170$ during discounts, ... probably I'll buy it too someday.

[@javierm.a.4914]

Cajnyz ? I search this brand and i dont see nothing

[@anglerjon4444]

The website that shall not be named 😂

[@SmokeytheJeep]

What did I miss?

[@amiestreater]

Yeah what is the website that shall not be named? I must know!!!

[@Berttheturt314]

​@@amiestreaterAliexpress I believe. It's great for the titanium items in this list

[@TravelosophyTV]

Add $800 and that's the price we have to pay in Sweden hah

[@micahclifton2245]

Haha you might bring some drugs or ear plugs to make your trip more enjoyable. I had to go back a few times and make sure that's what he said. Lmbo

[@abdoubabaich5103]

I thought, "under 100$" 😅

[@ericwilson4553]

That isn't the ultragrid...

[@RANDOMNPC906]

How can you tell

[@JustinOutdoors]

Nope. I didn't think it was worth buying or asking Dan to send me essentially the same pack with a different fabric.

[@JustinOutdoors]

@@RANDOMNPC906 The materials have a different look to them.

[@RANDOMNPC906]

@JustinOutdoors I was going to assume that since it was essentially the same pack, like you mentioned, I wasn't going to worry about material. The point of the video was the price and weight

[@literallyanythingelseother]

I feel like apex series from enlightened equipment is better. Not down but full customizable at the price... Big move and like 3oz difference

[@Berttheturt314]

It's a lot less compressible

[@literallyanythingelseother]

@@Berttheturt314 not really. The pack size for 40° extra long is 13"x5.5" for the down, and 13"x7" for the apex.

[@literallyanythingelseother]

Nevermind I see now how the sack size is different than the compressed size it's a huge difference. Thanks for clearing that up for me

[@DaveOffGrid]

Please adjust your list and add a satellite device. Not really safe without one.

[@christopherhaak9824]

Imagine all the years of unsafe hikers.

[@TheProtagonest]

Poop pov

[@christopherhaak9824]

If you are going ultra light, why would you need a 55l pack? So you can carry a bunch of stuff and not be ultra light? It's an oxymoron for sure.
