THE MOST ESSENTIAL THINGS IN YOUR DAYPACK. you can't disagree!!

[@patrickl.2076]

I would add the first aid kit including a rescue blanket that could be very helpful in case of an emergency overnighter or accident

[@TedWeirum]

Great points here brother! Appreciate it!

[@EspenFrafalne]

The Hilleberg Bivanorak is pretty nice as long as its not too warm outside. It weighs half a kilo, and functions as full body raingear, windbreaker, or a "bivy" that allows you to sit up and cook food or whatever. When used as raingear, it doesnt have as good ventilation as a rain poncho, but still MUCH better than a rain jacket - and it is roomy enough to cover a fairly sizeable backpack too.

[@TedWeirum]

yeah, its a great piece of kit! :)

[@iMbUSkO]

Great tips. I am always bringing my swiss army knife with the small saw included. Priceless!

[@TedWeirum]

Great tip brother! :)

[@ianbachanek2538]

Nice video! I also bring a small first aid kit. Also you're allowed to bring chocolate that you like. I'm no coffee drinker but I wouldn't turn down some 12 yo single malt "coffee" if offered.

[@TedWeirum]

That was the best coffee I’ve had in along time! ;) I get what you mean with the chocolate there, I’ve turned it into a sport to just bring the nasty one! :)

[@dag36523]

Just discovered your videos! I like your style. Great daypack video.

[@TedWeirum]

Thank you! Welcome to the party! :)

[@biancadewarle8042]

I bring pretty much the same except for the fire kit, thanks for the idea! What I also bring is a small first aid kit, which I made from an empty can of electrolyte tablets. And a trash bag is always in my daypack, even in my everyday backpack.

[@TedWeirum]

thanks! I will talk about the first aid kit in the overnighter backpack video! : )

[@GottoLoveNature]

I almost agree.. One very important thing missing though.. As one who loves a campfire and doesn't care about weight - at least after my time in the royal guards - i always bring an axe or small hatchet! Great video though! Don't know if you've forgotten, but I haven't. I will get the tent to you, but life.. 😅

[@TedWeirum]

So close! Who needs an axe when you have the two handed broadsword of a knife that fits in my little fire kit! ;) No stress about the tent brother, really looking forward to do that video! :)

[@rafaelmaluf533]

Your videos have a beautiful photography , thank you for inspiring me to get started with hiking

[@TedWeirum]

Thanks brother! Best of luck! I’m always here if you got any questions! :)

[@sebastienjaniaud9]

I take approximately the same things with the same bag... plus a hydration pack. Thank you for your share!

[@TedWeirum]

the hydration pack is a good option! thanks for sharing brother!

Thank you so much brother!

Comment Section Expert and official Swede-to-be checking in. Unfortunately, they don't sell the Abisko tarp in the US. I've been eyeing various Dyneema ones, but they are super pricey. The ones intended for hammock camping have the most versatility with all their tie out points. The tarp I currently have is a 4mx4m one that goes up over a picnic table when car camping; too big for the trails. Ted, you will be happy to hear I am the proud new owner of a Kajka 75; it has yet to arrive. It's my new winter camping expedition pack. It was such a tough decision between it and a Keb 72, but in the end the front loading of the Kajka won out over the side-zippered Keb. I need full unrestricted access to those big bulky winter items. Singi heater just got 2 coats of wax last night in preparation! No first aid kit on a dayhike? I bring my standard FAK with me on any hike, just in case.

[@TedWeirum]

Valid points from a seasoned subscriber! I'll have to talk about the first aid kit in the next video!

[@MrWipex]

Great choice of gear! Thats a sweeeet looking pack you got there! 😮 and here it is 🤣: I would replace the fire steel, hammock and the heavy sweater with a bic lighter, light weight puffy jacket, a solid knife and a Laplander saw. First aid is always in a leg pocket, right?😅

[@TedWeirum]

You'll never walk alone! :) FIRST AID!!!!!! will talk about it in the next overnight pack video!

[@evelinahagelberg6240]

Would add toilet paper in a plastic bag and (depending on your habits) a small spade (yes, that's apparently an English word too! 🤪). Leave no trace! 😉 Great idea with the fire kit - I will steal that one!

[@TedWeirum]

yeah! ill bring it up in the multi day backpack video!

[@Pytte]

headlamp always gets chucked into my bag..

[@TedWeirum]

smart! you never know!

[@nathanlockhart3876]

Depends on where you are and what time of year. All of that layering would be unnecessary where I live in the summer.

[@TedWeirum]

Correct! All boils down to where you are and what you’re doing! :)

[@jaydunc2k1]

Nice easy going video Ted. Phone! More versatile than a branded small red pocket knife. Take only memories and photos, leave no trace

[@TedWeirum]

So true! I bring my phone wherever I go, forgot to mention it!

[@jaydunc2k1]

@@TedWeirum phone protector, like Exped pocket or 'as is' and hope its waterproof?

[@TedWeirum]

I’m living on hopes and dreams there, I do have a leather case, if I go paddling I put it in a ziplock bag!

[@Rakeeten]

Thank you Ted! For me, my buff is essential :) Also good reminder about the trash bag. I always forget about it and have to use a couple of dog poop bags.. Take care!

[@TedWeirum]

yeah, buff or neckgater makes a huge difference! :)

[@jaymichaelson17]

Not an expert but it appears you had the bases covered. Always nice to have a few special comforts. As far as chocolate, I like the darker 80-85% types.

[@TedWeirum]

I knew you like the darker ones! :)

[@dapperdingo]

Nice! Campin' ain't campin' without a campfire.

[@TedWeirum]

Preach! :)

[@alexandrucovaliov8989]

Great video. What is missing is the listing of the products you use. Maybe there are same items here in Canada, but I don't know what brand or model to look at.

[@TedWeirum]

Solid point brother! I’ll see if I can make a list, brands are fjällräven, hestra, Morakniv, Hanwag, sea to summit! :)

[@grueneauen]

You inspired me to get out again. 🙋🏼‍♂🙏🏻 I am actually also an All-In-Fjällräven-Type-of-Person but now I am considering to change more towards the Lightweight-Group at least for backpack, tent etc. Any thoughts on this topic? Kind regards! 🙂

[@TedWeirum]

Sounds interesting, what brands are you considering?

I'm jealous. Every time I watch one of your videos I dream about being able to afford that much Fjallraven stuff.

[@TedWeirum]

I feel your pain my friend, I borrow most of it! :)

[@siouxbe1]

I didn't see you bring a HeadLamp

[@TedWeirum]

Can’t remember if I did, in the summer time I don’t use one, winter it’s standard!

Ted, there is a hidden zipper in the main compartment of the Keb Hike 30, behind the top pocket pouch. What is that for?

[@TedWeirum]

there is! it's for the rain cover, of course you could put other small things there as well! : )

Thanks for posting My wife also has a Keb Hike 30 and it is really nice But I am 2 meters tall and it just fits so badly on a tall man, just like their other Daypacks are made really really small - It's unbelievable that Fjällräven can't figure out how to make Daypacks that fit tall people - Love my Keb 72 but which is great for tall people, but I can't go with it on day trips, so on day trips I use Osprey Talon, although the Fjällräven is better, but it doesn't help when they it is too small. It looks like you advertise Fjällräven so cant you kick their designers so they can figure out to make Daypacks for tall people also 🤔 Or do you have an idea which Fjällräven I can choose? Jesper

[@TedWeirum]

Understand, hard to say what pack would work for you, do you have a store nearby where you can try the backpacks?

[@jesperjohannesen4247]

@@TedWeirum I have tried several of their Daypacks and all the ones with a hipbelt are too short if you use them properly and are Tall.
