I had seen your video before but revisited recently as I was preparing for the ultra in SoCal this past weekend. It is incredibly informative and comprehensive. I went with the square bin as you suggested, and booked it out of transition area in 5 minutes. Thank you for helping me earn my buckle!

[@obstacleactivist9741]

Congrats on getting that buckle! Glad it helped 😊

[@summerfisher2941]

Heren -I was debating using the square bin. How big was yours? Was the lid secure?

[@lefousuisse]

Obstacle Activist : I would like to tell you a huge thank for your vidéo and your organization that I managed to finish my ultra in Scotland (Perth) in 2019. And know that I really did everything that you advised, put the bag in height, stay up, stay less than ten minutes in the transition and leave without asking any questions. This year, I'm going to make an ultra-hard one, Morzine's, what I'm going to add is plastic pockets in my hydration pack for when we get wet because there will be water. Aroo!!!

[@obstacleactivist9741]

Glad you completed your ultra and got it done! Good luck at your next one, plastic bags definitely will be a good idea for the water

[@mattd1575]

3:33 ❤👍 and yeah, my square bin was easy to visualize to access what I needed and keep things organized instead of taking shit out from a bucket and tossing everything around lol

[@Mamba151]

I used nylon drawstring sacks for camping inside my 5 gal bucket. Used the same system for the agoge and it worked awesome. Orange for food, blue for drink, green was medical stuff, spare clothes and shoes in black, etc. lithium batteries for the headlamp are lighter than regular batteries and i always keep a spare set in a waterproof container just in case. Great video though, always enjoy watching other peoples ideas to improve my system. I also write down each item on a notecard, sorted by location i.e. med bag: 1. Bacitracin, 2. Krazy glue etc. I laminate the card and tape it on the top so if someone needs to find something it is easy for them to find it. Another agoge thing, in the event someone had to get something out of my ruck it was easy for them to find it and retrieve it.

[@obstacleactivist9741]

Love the card idea!

[@DrERtv]

is this for BEAST or ULTRA? they are different right?

[@absilva76]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing it, very helpful to me it as I will run my first ultra in Fayeteville this coming June.

[@obstacleactivist9741]

Good luck!

[@HoldMyBeerJeeping]

So if you have to fly in for an Ultra...how do you get your bin back home? Ship it back? Pay for another checked bag, which is a bin/bucket? What does everyone do?

[@obstacleactivist9741]

I've never flown for an ultra, but I know some take their bucket as their carry on. Anything that you're not allowed to put in it with TSA restrictions can go in the checked bag

[@HoldMyBeerJeeping]

Thanks! Yeah, I can get all of what I need locally close to the venue. I will bring the headlamp, shoes, compression, and all of that stuff. Only question at this point will be wondering how cold it is lol. That remains to be seen. Doing Tahoe.

[@lefousuisse]

awesome! Confort food is a brilliant idea!!! Aroo bro!

[@jhundley3736]

I really enjoy your videos. However, it seems this is the only video on KZbin I can't play 🤷‍♂️. Not sure whose end it is on, but would love to be able to view it!

[@obstacleactivist9741]

i'm sorry to hear that, not sure why it wouldnt play for you. I haven't had an issue with this in the past

[@100flyking]

Thanks for the reminder that it's December and that it sucks

[@obstacleactivist9741]

🤣😂 you're welcome

[@NomadTerraCrawlers]

Would you recommend hydration bladder or soft flask on the race? Or both?

[@obstacleactivist9741]

I think that's completely dependent on the individual and their preferences/abilities. Me personally, I used a salomon adv skin vest which has two speed flasks on the chest, but also a sleeve in the back for a bladder if you buy one separately. When I did Killington ultra last year it was pretty hot and I wasn't used to doing that distance so I used both speed flasks and had a bladder in my vest. That being said, the bladder was more so for a "just in case" scenario as I think I only used it a handful of times that day. Mainly used my speed flasks and the aid stations

[@NomadTerraCrawlers]

@@obstacleactivist9741 good tip. I'm just worried about a) Bladder leaking and b) Dunk wall where mud will be all over the mouthpieces. 10L bags would suffice? Thanks

[@obstacleactivist9741]

Dirt and things will in fact in on the mouth pieces, but if you're racing that's the least of your worries. A little dir doesn't hurt. As for the size, 10L is HUGE. Most hydration packs and bladders are 1-2.5L in size

[@NomadTerraCrawlers]

@@obstacleactivist9741 I was talking about 10L bag. Anyway, where is the nutrition vid? =)

[@8bit_misfit]

Super helpful, thanks bro!

[@obstacleactivist9741]

Glad it's helpful!

[@AllanVallejosBRAWBO]

thanks

[@obstacleactivist9741]

Hope it helps!

[@zetsu8526]

Where do you get salt tabs and caffeine tabs

[@obstacleactivist9741]

I have them listed in the video description. I get them on Amazon

[@ant2464]

Dude what happened to channel??

[@obstacleactivist9741]

Revamping for 2022

[@ABSallah1]

Makes a video for ultra but wears a sprint shirt lol

[@obstacleactivist9741]

I had an ultra shirt on for the entire video minus the beginning which I filmed 2 months later
