[@keypermaculture]

Thanks for sharing Scotty! The only additional thing I'd carry is Celox powder in a 5g pack in the first aid kit. It's a clotting powder that gets you right outta trouble when the red stuff is leaking bad, even from something as simple as catching yourself on a silky saw. It also is great cause it's non surgical removal, some clotting powders are so effective they need surgical removal!

[@helenaglanville9946]

I have Celox powder in my first aid too. I have to take rivaroxaban every day, as I get big bad clots. Gives me piece of mind.

[@sparrowflying864]

Use skin glue. It works great and no surgery needed lol.

[@yhsh1874]

@@sparrowflying864 in the military, simple super glue is at least as effective, only downside is the chemicals you put into your body, but same goes for everything you put in it these days and the "skin glue" is not much more healthy in reality. Neither is the clotting stuff. I just carry a small tube of super glue for really gaping cuts and wounds. Never had to use it though (knocking wood).

[@geeetube1]

i was told once also that putting black ground pepper on a wound helps clot blood, takes away pain and is like a disinfectant

[@yhsh1874]

@@geeetube1 I was once told if you smear it into your eyes, your eye-sight improves. Gotta repeat the procedure at least once a week though.

[@swingsloth]

Due to you, Scotty, I did my first two night solo a couple of weeks back. And I learned a lot. But I DO need to learn to leave some sh!t at home. Thanks for your vids.

[@emanuel290]

My first overnight i swear i packed the full contents of my house! Never again

[@swingsloth]

@@emanuel290 i had no choice but to haul in 6l of water as I was unsure of availability where I was going.

[@chrisdornerrespecter8884]

It's all part of the learning process. You'll learn what you need and what you don't from experience

[@Rob.Parsons]

Nice one Scotty. Looking forward to the WOJ vid 👍

[@jonnywestmoreland3230]

You guys would make for a very cool collab!

[@Pneumaticcannon]

Nice gear Loadout ! Another thought would be to add snoseal to your leather boots! Will help protect the leather and keep them more waterproof. I've got the same boots myself.

[@ERIKOFFTRACK]

Thanks Scotty, always interesting to see what other people use. Agree you need to be careful of the ultralight rabbit hole lol. Keen to hear how your new tent goes in strong winds and stands up after a bit of use. Cheers mate

[@desperadodeluxe2292]

One item I see not used often is a gear brush for dust and dirt. I just use a curve handle palm brush from the dollar store. I use it for everything but I also have a bicycle. Oh dish soap is a good addition.

[@EB240]

Excellent kit scotty, if i could recommend one small thing to add when filming just incase is a 1-2m length of small gauge insulated copper wire, that way in a dire case you lost some gear you could start a fire with a camera battery using the wire on the positive and negative, probably very unlikely you may need it, but its cheap as chips, super light and may come in handy for other things. really enjoy your content scotty, all the best.

[@unfi6798]

Great set up mate for 10kg. Similar set to ours but just a little bit heavier with necessities. Thanks for sharing, it's given us some great ideas. Cheers cobber.!

[@williamthegriffin6185]

ALWAYS love seeing what people put in their kit! Very much enjoy the videos! Thank you Scotty

[@mickbeckers]

Thanks for sharing Scotty. If you want to go lighter, you can shave off close to 250g by ditching the nalgene and replace it with a water bottle, attach a sports cap to your sawyer and carry the sawyer attached to the bottle. Sports cap easily back flushes the sawyer in the field and you can leave the syringe at home.

[@ProcrastinatingWoodsman]

Cheers for running through your camera gear bag! I'm an aussie over in Europe at the moment and you've inspired me to have a crack at the KZbin thing over here. No where near anything home (Australia) but at least you don't have to worry about snake, spiders, and where I'm from Crocodiles! 🤣

[@BrianCapezzone]

Thank you for another awesome video. Very informative, really appreciate the knowledge transfer and your insights. Take care and happy trails!

[@CP-wv2qs]

Really sick video, and shot excellently. Well done!

[@DTCampingAdventures]

Always wonder how hikers pack their bag and what's to bring - another awesome vid and knowledge sharing - thanks Scotty!

[@sirhetmanpirate]

Wife and I did an overnight hike last September - two of us, each had 20kg packs... Hmmmmm. Seemed normal to us, but after watching this, got a lot of improvements to make!

[@chrisschuster7728]

Hey Scotty, good kit. A tip for the Sawyer filter. There is a "Tornado" connection for the Sawyer to a clean water bag. Ditch the syringe. Connect the CNOC to the Sawyer and then with the Tornado directly to the clean water bag. No more spilling, hang the CNOC high for a gravity feed- and when you done just give the clean water bag a quick squeeze to backflush the filter.

[@jasest14]

Thanks for sharing. Watching from Philippines!😃

[@Matt-jb1pb]

I really wish somebody would do one of these pack dumps for the poor guy in mind a lot of us don't have a lot of money

[@DP_walks]

no one does, but you start with what you have and work up from there. most people with ultralightweight set ups and top notch gear didn't get that all at once, they buy piece by piece over years.

[@caddycallaghan]

That was so calming to watch and learn from!

[@annieb7868]

Love that you did a loadout video and love the gear!

[@markallendelisle]

Great video thanks for sharing! One tip if you want it I’d swap out the knife/fork/spoon, pot gripper and case pocket knife for a multi tool with all the same and more. Leatherman, Swiss Army, some even have spoons.

[@andrewpolzin8489]

Awesome video. Very thorough and informative.

[@bevestush]

Thanks for the bald eagle weights printed on screen! =)

[@TDOLLA]

those durston adjustable poles are great! like everything he makes they are well thought out and function well

[@allanfahrenhorst-jones6118]

Excellent video, great stuff. 👍❤️😇

[@camgrice]

Great to see a new gear update, love it ❤

[@47Rolling]

Nice video. I don’t carry as much due to the camera gear really but one additional thing I do carry as part of emergency gear is a couple of feet of thin tubing ( bit of old dripped system from the garden actually) just in case I can’t find running water and I need to suck water out of the fork of a blood wood etc.

[@varin5749]

Cant wait to see the tassie trip!

[@Blashswanski]

I'm a convert to superglue for cuts, Scotty. It really works a treat. You can put a bandaid over it if you want the extra protection.

[@grios62gr]

Dude how ya been, I haven't seen any update new video, I miss it lots... Hope all is well with you... Anytime time you at the States, look me up, I'll take you to Ocala State Park in Florida 😎👍

[@baiaphilia]

Great overview! I'm currently in the middle of changing my shelter set up. Been looking for a multi-use set up where I can double up my ground sheet as a hammock but it's looking like I will need to get it custom made because I haven't seen anything along the lines of what I want. I also don't use the trekking poles, though I figure for the size of that adjustable pole it would be worth the extra weight so you've got a double use. Agree with your first aid kit; compression bandages are a must for any aussie first aid kit, they're super versatile beyond snake bites (splinting, wound dressing, etc) and for anyone looking I would highly recommend the specifically designed ones with the squares on them, they're twice as long as most normal ones as well so you can sometimes get away with one if need be. The only thing I would add is some water purification tabs (In case your filter breaks) as they're super small and light weight.

[@KenmeriCaptain]

onya mate! cheers for the gear runthru and looking forward to your adventures for the rest of the yr - i'm heading off to glenelg river in may for a canoe trip inspired by your vids!!

[@frugalmum7943]

Emergency bandage (also called 'israeli bandage ' ) is useful, multipurpose and lightweight. Great all rounders.

[@ToadlyCool91]

nice to see all those broccolini rubber bands gettin a second run

[@lazsamuels64]

Ha ha. I definitely keep all my broccolini rubber bands for this very purpose! They last ages.

[@Moneyless.In.Brazil]

This gave some good ideas with equipment going forward, cheers

[@BlackshacksBushcraft]

Great load out for such a big trip. Well, that's 4 of your videos in a row I've caught up on. They looked pretty awesome on a 75" telly. 😃

[@duckman12569]

With that Akubra, I have a Jackaroo and it's the scrunchable one, doesn't block your peripherals when you're wearing a bike helmet. Quite pleased with that.

[@adbc8213]

Thank You!

[@_Caffeine_1]

Been hanging out for this!

[@finnjuniperdenaro]

Love your WOrk Brother =) Always a nice informative experience tuning into your walkabout how to's - All the best one your voyages ongoing 🙂

[@jejakdhasyad]

❤❤❤nice to meet you bro, In INDONESIA. the tent is nice. the sleeping bag is good, the bed is good, the view is amazing❤❤❤❤

[@robslater4358]

absolutelty love your videos, so inspired by them, every evening im researching things i need to get out there hiking and camping, unfortunately all the items you use are so expensive, any advice or tips on budget gear that wont turn me off the whole experience. is anaconda gear ok to start with

[@kristenvincent3622]

Love seeing different gear loads, compared to Canada it’s a very different load out, but the mirror… I never thought it was important til I got a 4mm rose thorn in my eye and had to walk a km to get to a rendezvous car mirror for help getting it out.

[@Max-lf4br]

nice looking setup.

[@richardeljay]

Really informative. What I really wanted to know about was the hat you wear ..thankfully they have a UK site ..so getting my order in today

[@josephlau8476]

I like camping very much too.

[@canastasiou68]

Awesome mate, really had a good day

[@Jondantic]

Nice to see the snake bite bandages in the Aussie bush first aid kit. Not easy to improvise that stuff in the unfortunate situation that you get bitten

[@genomedia44]

Fantastic to see your loadout. Must be something wrong with my brain, but whenever I see all the items laid out, it just seems impossible to me how all that stuff fits your 55L backpack! I have noticed how a couple of your items (eg tent, quilt) are quite a bit smaller than my own, but still! Thanks for the share

[@darcycameron3364]

This is beast

[@ryandel]

Love it! Some inspiration from Tom's Gear Guide in there I reckon

[@geeetube1]

not sure if youve ever mentioned it before but if in emergency your phone is going to die you make sure you change your message to your current location so when your phone is dead people will get the messge when they try and call you :)

[@geeetube1]

also get a gorilla grip pod camera mount that you can attach to any stick you put in the ground and save yourself almost a kilo for your tripod ;) and you dont even need to try and balance the stick like a tripod... and it holds 3 kg!

[@rmarques82]

When water inside boots, fill them with magic dry (aka newspaper)

[@hikinginharmony]

Thank you for sharing! We loved your Tasmania film ☀ What has been your favourite hikes so far? We're hoping to make it out that way from British Columbia in the next year or so.

[@driver3899]

Gday Scotty, always enjoy seeing your kit choices for extended trips. Great Video I have wondered about those Dyneema packs, I really like the idea but I know from climbing that UV destroys Dyneema anchor slings and you should replace them every year. With our crazy UV ratings in oz I wonder about how long the pack material will last? Maybe they blend it with something and so its not like the climbing slings, Idk. Would be interested to hear your thoughts

[@Philipk65]

Really interesting video and gear run down. I have an Ottie Merino Tee as well they are so comfortable.

[@waynehogan5064]

Hey Scotty great video I'm interested in your thoughts on how you have evolved from beginning to where you are now with your camping and gear

[@Craigsoutdooradventures]

Some good kit there, I’m waiting for the x mid pro 1 to be delivered to the UK and kicking myself for not ordering the poles at the same time

[@owlypacks]

Good stuff

[@Davefacestation]

You didn't cover anything in terms of food?

[@overnightOCD]

hi scotty im from Queensland and just started doing vids

[@oak664]

Ditch the Nalgene bottle and used a smart water bottle

[@infyrno]

@Scotty what ever happened to that Australian bivvy thing you where trying to produce? I forgot what you said it was called?

[@damienheaton7571]

Are we going to see a video of your tazzie trip? I hope so mate, would look foward to that one.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

Scotty went ultralight!

[@Rjs_media]

Okay you smashed it compared to me, I managed 13kg as a lightweight pack 😂😂

[@nzadventurer]

Looks like you've got some nice gear & very light! My set is 5kg+ heavier!

[@Jim-yk9zw]

My normal pack weight is about 20kg 😅 10kg would be a dream!

[@scottashley3830]

Scotty your a really great guy!! Im sorry i called you selfish that time ❤ I apologise!! Youve a very bright future 😅

[@adammoritz1643]

good, do you need to prepare one wood fire stove for cooking and warming in the night ?

[@kylemos1088]

Scotty, I'm a huge fan and watch all your vids but please start wearing sunscreen 😂 I'm from South Africa and I know that sun in Australia is hot. I always see you've got a red tinge at the end of the day- protect your skin while you are young !

[@craig5147]

Cheers for sharing, are you still using the durston xmid 1? I'm a tall guy 6'4 and I'm finding it tough to find a light weight tent I'll fit in. So was keen to see how you found the length of the xmid 1?

[@rikkim4818]

Have always been curious what u take with u on your adventures. Ty.

[@stephentuck6607]

That is a great Ultralight Backpacking Kit! Definitely no need to try and go lighter when you are still young and strong. So what do you think about doing Alone Australia Season 2 or does being stuck in the same general location turn you off the idea? You've got all the survival skills and experience but being stuck in the one location would be the big downside as well as being away from loved ones.

[@73N5H1]

No way that kit is ultralight in any way

[@mjfalcon007]

​@@73N5H1 I was thinking the same thing recently and would love to see Scotty on the show!

[@SophisticatedDogCat]

Hike on. 🤙

[@Kamaljitt]

Hi I watched all ur videos and they are all awesome.. I m just curious to ask you about snake 🐍 gaiter .. r u wearing them when u go for hiking specially in Australia? I m from Melbourne I hv been few places for hiking only for a day hike and spotted snake 🐍 few times ..

[@BushcraftEurope]

If you had that Tasmanian Tiger you done a review on you wouldn't had a tare in a pack

[@someoneusedtobe6655]

Hello. How are you satisfied with your Akubra hat?

[@debs_hiking_journey]

Hi Scotty, can you please tell me the size of the Alton bags you use for your clothes and electronics?

[@sushisacha111]

Great vid! Just got myself a xmid as well. Debating whether to bother with a groundsheet for it so was wondering if you usually take one or just did for this trip?

[@Americaforthemoney]

Man I like his livingroom looks so clean

[@blackbirdxx4613]

Good stuff scotty...did. Malcolm Douglas have this stuff 🤣🤣..... What would be the average cost for your kit

[@karenhennessy9971]

Would you use a bivvy bag inside a tent to add warmth? I’ve got a -10 sleeping bag, liner to give me an extra few degrees and a self inflating mattress that’s good but in zero degrees or less I’m still cold. I thought a bivvy bag might help.

[@daneofarrell9460]

Where’s the tourniquet Scotty! First aid kit isn’t complete without a couple of those. And an Israel bandage if you wanna go the extra mile

[@bobbymicvoo6232]

Hiyo scotty, our of curiosity, you mentioned the pros of carrying your gear but was there any cons to them (other than cost)? Or is there any lil peeves about some of your gear?

[@mcmacmcgee]

Does 5-6kg include water? Would seem a bit crazy to be carrying only 4kg of gear given 2L+ water is pretty standard in the summer months.... don't know if you stick to better watered country though

[@androarta2357]

Is your backpack 55L for the main compartment or combined with all pockets? Thanks 😊

[@logictd567]

Do those gaiters protect against snake bites or is it just for brush?

[@TheMykos]

And 25 broccolini rubber bands

[@FishionFishing]

How about your drone bro?

[@headwerkn]

Can’t be flown over 50% of Tassie, including any National Park, Conservation Area or Reserve.

[@Rhubarb2]

Do you water treat your Akubra?

[@lottytaylor572]

When they asked to see you ‘pack’ … this isnt what they meant 😂

[@cybersecurity_7704]

all these brands are american, how do you ship them to Aus without paying 100's extra?

[@MissMelSad]

If you're in NSW there are two suppliers/stockists of the Hyperlight gear - Tom's Outdoors in Tumut and Adventure Base in Katoomba (if you're in another state then I'd suggest a quick google search for local stockists). Unfortunately Durston do not have any stockists in Aus, however they have capped their international shipping with Canada Post at $20/$25 dollars. Alton is an Aussie brand based in WA I believe and Sea to Summit gear is at most outdoor retailers. Hope this helps 🙂

[@cybersecurity_7704]

@Melanie Sadleir Thanks this is really helpful. Over here in the uk your expected to pay £200 for international shipping...

[@NTB_Retro]

The brands are American, but we have local resellers.

[@evanhammond7305]

Durston is canadian.

[@NTB_Retro]

@@evanhammond7305 the guy and the brand is, but pretty much everything besides the Pro tents also sells from the US (Kaviso)

[@israelolvera558]

♥️💓❣️😇💖⭐💗❤️✨

[@burninggiraffe6615]

Omg only Australians would understand what you are saying!

[@z0uLess]

dont spend more money to reduce weight, cut out stuff instead, like all the packing bags. lighter, knife, toothbrutsh and water bottle can all be much lighter. instead of bringing a whole roll of tape, cut out strips and put them on wax paper. I mean, to each their own, but the backpack is the lightest thing you can get, so why not follow through with the other gear? I also never wear gloves -- if I am cold I just put on a pair of socks on my hands. dont see why you need a beanie when you have a hat like that. the hat itself seems plenty warm.

[@metaauatralia]

Here's my logic.. my pack base weight isn't close to 'ultralight' but I want a reasonable pack base weight eg under 14kg. I also love bringing luxuries, comfort items and favourite tools. So I buy ultralight bags, tents, mats etc to keep a reasonable weight on the big items while also bringing excessive luxuries like gin, whiskey, an awesome knife and saw to balance it out.

[@z0uLess]

@@metaauatralia Yea, balance in life is super impotant, but the word "important" would lose all its meaning without the rationality to support it (framing it into systems of hierarchy where some things are important and others are less important). To conclude: not caring is the best way to take care of things.

[@calanandrews3346]

Man eats plenty of broccolini

[@willek1335]

Overall great pack list and nice video editing. :) 👍 Ember ultralight down quilt weigh 970 gr for -4/-8 C at 550€. Down, so it perform worse in wet conditions. Made in China. MLD SPIRIT QUILT 28 ° (F), which is rated to -6°C, but I've comfortably taken it to -8°C at 245$. It weigh 740gr. Not down, ergo perform excellent in wet conditions. Made in USA. I don't understand how STS can make a quilt, with some inferior specifications, with much lower salaries, bigger scale of production, and somehow charge you for 250% of the competing cottage industry quilt.

[@lazsamuels64]

The Ember uses Ultra Dry Down with a DWR treated 10D nylon shell, so it has solid performance in wet conditions. Sea to Summit Quilts and Sleeping Bags have a solid following around the world and there's a reason for that. They are not the only brand I use, but I'm very happy with every STS product I've ever purchased. Scotty is no fool when it comes to gear either especially as going outdoors is a source of income for him.

[@JDGTubed]

Great....now there will be hundreds of Scotty mimicking guru's out there. How will we know the difference😂

[@TwoWheelerSparky]

No offence, but this popped up after another video. I was waiting for the skip ad icon 🤐
