Hi Paul, I know you're obsessed with low weight and that's an admirable pursuit, but, if you're swapping out a multi functional SAK for a single function Opinel, you're taking it a bit far. What if you need tweezers or a toothpick ? A screwdriver for your tripod ? Even a can opener ? It's a false economy....

Hello Paul from NZ. I like your choice of pack, I have the same I am in the mountains over 40 times a year from one day tramps to 5 day tramps (we call it tramping not hiking). The pack is very light and easy on the back. I carry up to and over 15kg depending on how many days I'm in the mountains. I think that your videos are one of the best no nonsense on KZbin . I have had over 50 years in the mountains 9 Years as a guide and I'm still out there doing it. So I know that you know what you are talking about. Well done. Keep the videos coming. 😀

I was a bit like this when I packed for my 5 weeks Canadian trip (Sept-Oct). 30 liters rucksack, under 10 kg weight, same tent (broke/repaired in 2 weeks), down sleeping bag (-7C). I took hiking boots and wellies and when, just before the flight posted hiking boots back to home. I think hiking boots better for Canada, wellies - for Scotland (hiked cuillin ridge in wellies). If you hike in the boots good thing to take - newspaper. For lightweight food: ground porridge and buckwheat

Great video. There’s such a lot of gear out there it’s hard to know which is best. I did a five day hike in summer and didn’t bother with a sleeping bag. I just wore my down jacket and put my feet in the rucksack. Sometimes it’s good to see how little gear you actually need and sometimes it’s good to splash out on a few luxuries. Good luck on your trip.

Big knife, folding saw, multitool, small knife. Small fishing kit with slingshot. Heavy snow goretex jacket. Canvas tarp/bivy/poncho and my pack is a 55L 5.11 tactical rush 72 @ 2.4kg empty. Mines more of a camping, bushcraft, fishing kit with an emphasis on being heavy duty for bushcraft/survival skills. 16kg includes 3 days of food and 2L/kg of water. Thanks for sharing.

Your setup is good, my kit weighs around that too with water and food added (3 season). In the summertime i can go down to 5 kg. I go ultralight mostly because of backproblems. As for kit: I'd add a first aid kit, including blister treatment. A belt with at least one storage pocket (unless the backpack got one) would mainly use it to store quick access stuff like a map/compass. Finally, i'd add some spices for the food since it ca be a bit bland.

I just came home from a 2 nighter. My pack weight was 16.3 kg. I'm in mountain terrain above the arctic though so I need a bit of extra clothes and warm bag and a sturdy tent. I use an older Arcteryx Bora 65 (made in Canada), Hilleberg Soulo, Marmot 3 season down bag and I go all luxury and bring with a porlex coffee grinder, aeropress, black diamond lantern (~350 g.), Hemingway short stories, Swarovski binoculars, fishing pole and lures, one Bamse extreme sleeping mat and one of those Exped UL inflatable mattresses that should not be trusted. Very interesting to see how light kit you have put together for a three nighter.

Use mesh bags for damp , soiled cloths, T shirst, socks etc to allow them to breath rather than sealed plastic bag. Also use a thermal blanket in summer great weight saver. Use 'firebox' to heat water & cook, only needs some twigs, so saves on cannisters & they can easily run out of gas on long walks.

If you stick a couple in for medicinal reasons, it doesn’t count towards the overall weight 😂

I love Osprey packs. Got one mountain biking hydro-pack, a day hiking pack and my trekking backpack. They're just brilliant, comfortable and super strong. Great video Paul. Thanks for sharing!

I’ve found a guy like me! Agree with everything in this video. I’m just a bit surprise by the down from Decathlon. French I am and I tried few of them in store, without finding the right one. I’m curious about this model which is maybe no more selling in France anymore. Thanks mate!

Hey buddy, quite efficient. Nice bag too, great pocket sizes. You might be interested in finding a healthy adhesive to glue two bottle caps together which have a hole bored into each, then if you choose, you can attach your sawyer to a bottle :)

Hi Paul, wonderful setup ! Have a look at Optimus Crux burner, it's foldable and you can fit it on the bottom of the gas can. Cheers !

This is one of the best full kit reviews I’ve seen for a long time. Love the lightweight performance kit. I’m still undecided on whether to buy a JetBoil Minimo or one like you used...

the Levity is a nice pack, except, it will not stand-up and always falls over and the side pockets are really hard to get a water bottle in and out of when the pack is full, plus the hip belt rubs a bit on the hips, the Exos belt is better

Really good video, your complete pack out list is great. I hope you have good luck with the Soto stove and cook set. The cook set is a little small for me, but I am so used to traveling with a larger group.
