Get well soon!! Now I know what you wear and use on the trails! Very informative and interesting. Take care of yourself my sweets❤

Love my Ciele hats!

[@gwilymeades]

Yep, I love that Ciele hat, and have the same one. I have another Ciele hat too, they're the best!

[@denpopa]

yes!! totally in for the bandana merch ❤

[@MountainHighLife]

Yay thank you for the feedback! 🫶

[@ricodelavega4511]

cant do hats with buttons on top. My sweat oxidizes with the metal and crystalizes on it, meaning there's a white gross sweat-encrusted button that is impossible to clean off. If the hat is light colored, the metal rusts from the sweat and streaks onto the hat. Just go without a button top. Also, good advice on satellite/locator beacon. Apple 14 has SOS satellite.

I absolutely agree with getting the bigger volume vest. the difference in weight and pack down size is next to nothing. Also, for summer time I love to fill a bladder full of Ice and water (very heavy on the ice) for the back panel. It is a game changer on a hot day!

[@MountainHighLife]

oh my gosh that sounds like such a gamer changer- I never thought of that! absolutely genius!!

[@josiebones1]

@@MountainHighLife I have a relatively short drive to my trail heads, 15-20 minutes, but if it's any longer I put the bladder in a small cooler and cover it with an ice block. That keeps the ice from melting really well.

[@YouTubedarek]

Another vote for your first vest being on the larger volume side! After a couple of years, I've now bought a 6L as well (since it's more than enough most of the time) but 12L was the way to go to start off.

Short bills good for rainy days or hunting season where I might not wear a hat otherwise (Got one in bright orange.) Ciele needs to sponsor you for always rocking their logo.. their hats are perfect

[@ringspanner]

That was a cool insight Steph, thank you. As my journey progresses, I can see a place for everything you showed. TP necessity engaged.

[@MountainHighLife]

Thank you so much! and the TP is clearly something I take very seriously 😂

[@JessCoffman]

Great breakdown of everything, hope you fully recover soon.

[@MountainHighLife]

Thank you!

[@timothyhBoulder]

Feel better, thanks for the gear breakdown!!

[@MountainHighLife]

Thank you!

First aid kit is very dependent on the person and the area they run in. For me I have to carry an Epi-pen and also several post exposure wipes for poison ivy. Good video though.

[@gregory_adam5350]

Been digging your channel - very chill 👍🏻

[@MountainHighLife]

Thank you so much!

[@davidb5260]

Big fan of Ciele hats!

[@deminmax]

You look wonderful! Get well soon!

[@MountainHighLife]

Thank you! Getting there!

[@uptone12111]

Thank you/Looks like I need a bunch of stuff-Might have to take out a small loan lol. Now to find some good shoes

[@MountainHighLife]

haha if you can do a little at a time, you'll build up your collection in no time ;) also this is a great time of year to scout out some sales and thankfully the gear will last you a long time!

[@KaitlynMcLachlan]

I’ve go the 7s as well and really want to go bigger, but it really is big! Hard for everyday wear, fitting under a long sleeve top, etc. 😭

[@MountainHighLife]

that's my only fear with the size up- I pray that one day athleisure will be an acceptable form of business casual so we can wear athletic apparel at the office LOL

[@LiquidChromeNails]

We do have aquaphor in Canada 😊

[@MountainHighLife]

Yay good! I love that stuff so much 😂

[@AI-ed5jz]

Good 👍

[@RunningUphill]

[@MountainHighLife]

Thank you! I take the TP very seriously 😂

[@philluke56]

Hahaha haha yeah always take a poop kit 😂

[@jamesnolen3934]

Fantastic video. I love hearing and seeing gear breakdowns. I just hate that Garmin donated to Trump's campaign.

[@SuperLogandog]

Ugh, hate this too.
