What's in My Outdoor Bouldering Bag 🎒

[@crashleyskader6495]

Hand sanitizer! Good for before you chalk up, after you pee, and before you snack! I also carry gum, eye drops for my contacts, sunglasses, a nail clippers and file, a travel size sunscreen and bug spray, and head lamp for when you climb too long and have to walk back in the dark!

[@christopherdavidhall]

A foil blanket! My climbing partner broke her ankle (fell awkwardly on the pad). She immediately went into shock, and became extremely extremely cold. I covered her in coats and jumpers. When mountain rescue showed up however, they threw some foil blankets over her and the difference from her was crazy. They can also be used to keep the sun off you if it's scorching hot or as a bright reflective thing to draw in helpers ect ect. Put one in your bag, hopefully you'll never need it. But it could be a lifesaver. Take a good quality, sharp knife too.

[@motherlove8366]

Awesome tip. I feel like ppl rarely consider situations where things go wrong.

[@aaroncope1833]

Why plan ahead when you can argue about whether you're at the right route for 30 minutes before bailing at the second bolt?

[@JenniferLangen]

Aaron Cope i, the boulderer, am laughing at your comment without really understanding the joke

[@zacharyruiz9479]

Hi you got me into bouldering and its so fun discovering what the human body is capable of doing, you're great.

[@endlessninjafury]

Some other stuff I have in my bag: Alcohol swabs to clean injuries Woundseal and New-Skin for especially bloody injuries After Bite for mosquito bites And a cheapo laser pointer so I can point out holds while working out the beta from the ground

[@bofi9301]

I like the laser pointer idea lol

[@lindac5287]

Headlamp/spotlight for night sending! Baby wipes for wiping your hands of chalk after the climb Extra carabiners - hold up your towel, hold up your chalk bag, holds up everything Flip flops to quickly change in and out of your shoes

[@hyperfocused3465]

Sunscreen, a hat, first aid kit, bug spray, pocket knife and tons of water/snacks is really important too! I also over prepare for if things went as wrong as they can

[@jimboshizz]

The guidebook becoming glasses literally made me lol, so thank you:)

[@VernonZachary]

I went to a rock climbing gym with my friend 2 days ago and had a blast. So of course I’m hooked already, watching gear reviews and building my Little Rock climbing gear bag. I came across your videos and you are by far the funniest, most entertaining, and informative person I’ve ever found. Please don’t stop making videos! These are awesome

[@chickenspy1854]

I bring my handy dandy Metolius Shortstop. It’s like a mini crash pad that I use to cover small rocks, fill gaps between pads, and as like a welcome mat to dust off dirt from my shoes before hopping onto a rock. It also conveniently fits right into a bifold crash pad.

[@Mark198d]

Also a headlamp or some type of portable light source if you end up sticking around at the crag into the nighttime. Also, the beta for using those Hot Hands hand warmers I've found is to open them when you get up in the morning. Those things can take hours to reach full heat potential. I used to open them when I thought I needed them but they take forever to heat up and were the hottest later on during the drive back home.

[@natchen2380]

big yes to clothes - a necessity, a staple! as some people (not me) have learned the hard way (definitely not me or anything though haha... unless?)

[@natchen2380]

as usual big thanks for all the helpful tips!! jennsends is truly the bouldering community's fairy godmomma 🤩

[@JenniferLangen]

@@natchen2380 bippity boppity boo to you too!!!

[@dirtbagclimbing5076]

Yo! If you’re interested in more climbing centric pants I highly recommend the la sportiva tundras and prAna has started to release some pretty dope pants for ladies too! Also pro tip for when your bouldering/climbing in the cold is to toss a hot hand in your chalk bag 🤙🏼 game changer

[@sgthuy]

Just always bring rolled gauze you can use it to stuff wounds to make a splint with wood and you can tear them and use it as a bandage. Climbing tape should be good to secure it to skin

[@AnnetteRodriguez]

Hi Jenn, I would also recommend you add a flash board. It’s a great way to warm up and get your fingers warm. You can hang it on a tree or use your feet. Also, instead of traditional climbing tape, I use Leukotape. It’s stickier than regular climbing tape. Also, Alex Megos uses it, so he must be onto something.

[@theamethyst93]

I love outdoor voices too.

[@jacobgaylord9277]

Really great video! In regards to your first aid question, you could always get a little first aid kit, I got a backpacking first aid kit from REI and it seems fairly thought out. I also fought the climbing pants koolaid...until I found some Prana Zion in a garage sale-they really are amazing enough to shell the money for. Another alternative though is running pants! They tend to breathe well and have the same amount of flexibility. Approach shoes are game changers, especially if the hike in is a bit rough. The Arc’teryx Arakys are a pretty great first pick, they are usually on deep sales and can be worn as loafers when belaying/resting so you don’t need a pair of sandals. I love the way you go about your channel, it’s inspiring and makes climbing vlogs seem like a fun side project, though I’m sure it’s not nearly as easy as you make it look! Keep crushing!

[@josefin_svedberg]

I bought a pair of climbing pants straight away because I figured even though they are expensive, about twice as much as the yoga pants I usually buy, they will hopefully last me a lot longer and will, therefore, be cheaper in the long run. My clumsy ass loves them, and I can move just as well on the wall as in yoga pants, and I would wear them all the time if I could.

[@guillaumechampagne6659]

Great video as always! Don't forget the sunscreen/bug spray though! For guys (and girls I guess), your T shirt can act as your hand towel lol. Also, if you're going to a super remote crag, bring clothes/water/food for overnight, better to be prepared in case something happens, you don't want to be stuck some place with no warmth, no water, no food. For approach shoes, I really like my Evolv Rebel. They're comfortable normal walking shoes with Trax rubber as a sole.

[@thesii213]

Jen! Let's see a workout video and watch you workout to crush a project!

[@CrossoverGenius]

i bring alcohol prep pads everywhere i go and they come in handy super often to get cuts and scrapes Really Really clean before you go for neosporin & bandaids. also so much sunscreen. sunscreen for days.

[@samwebb585]

Late to the party... I have an Adventure Medical Kits Ultralight / Watertight .9 that comes wherever I go. Really good for hiking / climbing / watery stuff.

[@robertliu94]

Good video as always. My only additional suggestion is sunscreen, especially if you're climbing sleeveless. Also I actually love my climbing pants (that I only buy on sale). They're super flexible, but more than anything they're super lightweight so they just feel nice? Definitely more a luxury than a necessity though.

[@joeyjepsen2337]

9:46 Yay Someone else has to project V1 outside 😂

[@charlesbisbee3014]

Same! Happy I'm not the only one haha

[@mikepalasek964]

I bring Visine or some type of eye drops. The bottle is tiny, inconspicuous. If you have something in your eye, it's game over. Eyedrops!

[@Nihal-wx3th]

Thank you for this video, really helpful 😊 Best wishes from Germany

[@funkkern8512]

Thank you Jenn Sends, very cool!

[@aznnuh]

im here for the kombucha girl facial reaction transition

[@WaitWatching]

Hey jenn I’m just getting into bouldering and doing some research on what shoes to get and all that. One thing I want some more info on is what brand of chalk works the best

[@JenniferLangen]

hey! i’ve heard that friction labs is really good, and bison climbing chalk is also up there

[@WaitWatching]

Jenn Sends awesome thanks! Gonna go grab some “unicorn dust” chalk made by friction labs. Btw I love how you edit your videos

[@imazingg]

Loving giggly smiley Jenn you're adorbs ☺️

[@WizardMindBarbarianBody]

I would check Ross or TJ Maxx for pants. I don't have $88 for pants but I got some awesome Pranas at Ross for $15.

[@Ibaikard]

100% recommend buying used climbing pants on Poshmark!

[@aries_9130]

Really solid list!

[@sophiemilord]

Ahh Tramway! Have you done a video there?? If not, you totally should :)

[@MrCineris]

Yeh, I bring that first aid kit that you can buy at REI

[@MelHyde]

Love this

[@deadlygamingmonkey]

WE LIKE HAPPY JENN

[@SeraphinoII]

Hand sanitizer! I feel a bit of a sissy using them but i don’t want to eat all the dirt of the crag and the chalk :)

[@crimpychris]

Nail clippers! 😁

[@connorfallon3514]

Great vid. Any guys who are looking for climbing pants should check out the Jimmy Webb series by Hippy Tree.

[@ilickspam]

instead of bandaids i use leukotape. i learned about it from hiking youtubers and they're incredibly durable.

[@ewane7230]

Hiiiii I love your vids

[@kattenmoos]

this was so cccccutteeee

[@stevenlee5847]

Consider a rechargeable hand warmer/battery back up, instead of the disposable ones that you're getting?

[@JenniferLangen]

Steven Lee that’s a good point!! haven’t even considered that! :o

[@quintonellis7446]

What kind of shirt are you wearing?

[@martinmullis9743]

It’s very important to bring a towel

[@hydra66]

definitely. A smaller towel also can double up as a bandage/something to splint with. Also consider taking a survival bracelet- when taken apart, the individual strings have multiple uses.

[@rescueropes]

Thanks for sharing! I like your video description, very detailed! Do you get enough referrals to keep your amazon affiliate active? Ive looked into it a little bit but dont have enough of a following yet.
