@@dnlgrhm yep you have that right, I've lived in the Cascades for most of my life and a lot of the places on both the east and west side have microclimates that don't always follow the rules. I suspect Cody may have gotten just a little bit wet if he didn't take the fly

If you go into Canada what are you going to do with the Glock. You will not be able to take it into Canada.

[@The_Story_Channel]

I was just going to ask the same question. Handguns are restricted in Canada so it will have to be left American side.

[@craigc6626]

Same! Plus you should have a small am/fm radio some parts of Canada has no cell services. If you happen to get lost at least you'll be able to hear the radio that see if they're even looking for you on the radio.

[@lukasgiese2331]

As I am just a guy from Germany, where firearms are treated like demons, I was wondering how carrying a firearm works if you were to cross over into Canada? Would you have to leave it behind somewhere or are you allowed to take it over the border and back? My take on the watch: Put all layers on that you would wear riding, gloves and all, make it all as tight as you would wear it and see which watch feels better on the wrist. They are both tough watches, so ultimately it comes down to your comfort level with them.

[@yaboidayron1833]

He would never get into Canada with that hand gun . There is only one exception and that is for people that are from the USA and they are going to Alaska by road

[@caejoutdoors4269]

You don’t need three bottles of fuel for your stove. For a five day trip, cooking two meals a day, the one small canister will suffice. Since you’re only cooking one meal a day you’ll be fine.

[@rwomble]

I second this

[@chrischristensen73]

I agree. One 8 oz. canister will yield roughly 12 boils of 16 oz of water.

[@jacksontrumper5012]

Extra gas for the bike, he mentioned it last video.

[@chrischristensen73]

@@jacksontrumper5012 Those are the large MSR bottles. The smaller bottles are fuel for the stove. More than likely Isobutane/propane mix.

Ah gotcha, yeah I split a small can like that and fed 4 guys on the Appalachian trail for 4 days and nights. Should be fine with one small canister. Maybe he isn’t sure if they are full😂

[@yaboidayron1833]

Lifetime warranty got me in.

[@hoppy640]

If your enter Canada with that pistol it will be seized due to the fact of barrel length and not properly stored. May or may not get a fine for entering the country with a prohibited weapon.

[@dzengerink]

Will definitely get in trouble for it somehow. I would reconsider it bringing one.

[@jonbarnard7186]

You won't get a fine as long as you disclose it. However, you may not be able to cross with it.

[@danvondrasek]

"In general, Americans are allowed to bring up to three allowed guns into Canada as long as the proper forms are filled out and fees paid. Guns must be declared at the border crossing. Even when guns are declared and the proper forms are completed, Canadian border service officers require travelers to prove they have a valid reason for bringing a firearm into the nation. In addition, the border officers will check to ensure that all firearms are safely stored for transportation and that the guns actually being transported match those described in the declaration documents."

[@hoppy640]

Minimum barrel length for pistol to enter Canada is 105mm ie 4.1 inches . Which would mean the glock 26 barrel is just under legal length to enter Canada at 4 inches. If you don’t believe me you can look on line at the Canadian border agency

[@hoppy640]

Canada doesn’t care what guns you’re bringing in to Canada just as long they fall within barrel length and magazine capacity

[@reclhoss]

In Colorado I tend to use a hammock instead of a tent when backpacking. I just buy rip-stop material and make the hammock and rain-fly. The carabiners and cord outweigh the material. I bring the tent when car-camping but usually use the hammock anyway. Crocks > flippy floppys. I don't know who told you flops were manly footwear :p

[@grandpied]

Wool socks seem expensive, but they're actually cheaper. Considering how long they last, maintain quality, and function. After using for couple years they are still like brand new. A wool duvet-comforter is far superior to goose down. Even when wet they still work. Dust mite resistant. Wider range self-regulating temperatures from 60 degrees to below freezing. Wool wicks body odor far, far, far less than cotton.

Forget the camp chair - sit on your bike seat like a bench. Works like a charm for me!

[@TroutWest]

if you ever watch any survival shows it's pretty easy for Ninety-Nine percent of the population to survive with nothing more than a little bit of water. the only time this would change is in severe cold outside of that you will have no problem surviving five days with nothing more than one or two bottles of water.

I will never ever go to a Starbucks again. Here in Canada if we want a coffee with two milk or cream and two sugar we say medium or what ever size coffee we want small medium or large and so on and then will say double double. Starbucks people know that. No question they know that . Yet about two years ago I went in a starbucks with a friend and she said here you have say such and such words that are different then small med. large coffee .Some silly non English words. I said to here watch me I will not use such silly words in order to over pay for a coffee. So I said the girl at the cash I would like a small coffee double double please. She then said do you want a Granday or some other silly words they have for the over priced coffee. I said nope and just repeated what I had just ordered. In the end she took the order and I got the coffee but wow. No way I will act like a trained seal in order to buy over priced coffee from a place that is ultra liberal and has refused to allow police officer service. Later the corp. said Sorry sort of to the police dept. But it happened again. I have also read that the refused service to a woman who was wearing a MAGA . hat. and told her she had to leave as the hat was upsetting people and making them feel unsafe. So no to starbucks. I really hope that company goes broke soon.

I'm sure you knew the gun which you barely mentioned would be the main topic of discussion and that's a brilliant way to light up the comments section. Of course a well organized person such as yourself has a plan for dealing with the legalities of the gun, rather it's dropping it off with friends or whatever. I'm not concerned in the least. I'm not familiar with the route, but if you already carry at home, of course your going to carry on a 5 day trip. There's no telling what kind of trouble you might encounter. Likely there will be none, but I'm behind the decision 110%!

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Hey Cody, its it AMAZING all the folks that seem to think you don't know that you cannot take your pistol into Canada LOL. I'm confident you have a plan. Your kit seems to be rather comprehensive, I will look forward to seeing what worked and what you can improve. At some point I would LOVE to see what is in your tool roll, that would be a whole video of interest for me! As to the watch, I don't wear them, as I destroy them, they seem to just get banged up for me, but I'd take the lighter one, the Explorer, might fit better with all your riding gear? You are going to have a blast, you will hurt in places you forgot you had, but you will build memories that will last a lifetime, colour me green with envy on your trip! You did not mention which glue or tape you will use to keep the rug in place...? Have fun, try to keep the rubber side down. Cheers from Japan!

[@AH6man]

I think you can get by with one msr fuel canister. My brother and i did a one week camping/backpacking/ hiking trip and cooked all our meals on our msr stove. We went through half of one.

[@krissfemmpaws1029]

As for watch Cody I would wear whatever is the lightest for the simple fact it's going to be bouncing around on your wrist so the lighter the better. Seeing how you are going into Canada there is a problem with the G product that you will be carrying they are illegal in Canada. If you go into Canada they will confiscate it and you'll be facing legal action.

I think that the explorer watch would be better due to size. The tuna is great but wrist flexibility may play a role and less bulkiness may help with the explorer

[@oceallaigh1218]

sorry why do you need an extra magazine for the gun? how many times are you planning on firing it? hes worried about the size of his coffee packets and then brings something so unnecessarily bulky and heavy, it just makes no sense

[@BrockNessMonster1991]

O Ceallaigh - good point but in my opinion you should always carry a spare magazine, regardless. You don’t really “plan on firing it”.. it’s a just in case. You could also have magazine related malfunction/feeding issues and need to reload your spare mag for function. Just a thought

[@oceallaigh1218]

@@BrockNessMonster1991 I know what your getting at but at that point you may aswell bring 2 of everything incase it all malfunctions, I mean there is little to no scenario where he'll have to use a full magazine on a road trip, let alone two, hes not in a war zone

[@cornpop7805]

My paraphrased version of the saying goes: No one ever stops in the middle of a gun fight wishing they would have left their extra magazines at home.

Way too much gear for a 5 day trip. You have a lot of nice comfort items, are you willing to sacrifice a little comfort in some places to save you the hassle and weight of carrying all that around with you? Can you have a campfire where you're going? If so leave behind all the fuel and cooking gear except for a pot and spoon. I would leave behind the camp chair and the ACR also.

Just watched your 3 year old video about the Benchmade 940. Started watching you about 6 months ago or so. Love the videos and definitely have become a fan of Benchmade based off your reviews. Started with my first pocket knife as a Kershaw leek. Very small but amazingly convenient knife. Recently bought the BladeHQ special edition Blacked Out Bugout. Great knife, super lightweight and the shape of the blade is amazing. I love the axis lock so much that I used it as a fidget spinner. Ended up breaking it so I went to Cabela’s and bought the 940-2 (S30V with G10 handles) while I wait for a replacement. All I have to say is wow. Amazing knife.

[@ledlightboy]

A couple ideas for tech stuff. I would only use one output at a time with your charge out cable and I’d grab a backup iphone and battery bank cable with you. Also, your Apple wall adapter is only 1 amp output, your phone can do 1.5+ and battery bank can do 2+ so I’d upgrade to an Anker wall adapter with 2 USB outputs, if you are charging inside, you’re gonna need to be quicker anyways.

Your Glock will be a problem for you to take into Canada unless you applied to the Canadian government to take it in. Regardless, they do not allow civilians to own or use a handgun with a barrel less than 4.2" in length. I've hunted in Canada a few times, and taking a rifle in is relatively easy. Simply fill out the CA form 909 in triplicate and get the RCMP to inspect your firearm at the border. Incidentally, you might want to make sure you get the US Customs forms to document your property so that you can prove you owned it before you went into Canada. Back to handguns - I wanted to hunt bison with an S&W 500, but found I needed to get the Canadian government permission to take a handgun into Canada. At the time (2014) that process took about 90 days. So, I hope you have made plans to leave your Glock in the US before you cross over into Canada.
