Backpacking System, Extended Stay by Nutnfancy, Part 2

[TheRebiirth95]

when are you going to duracoat allie?

[sandman503]

you should re do these videos, because im sure a bunch of stuff has changed.

[zackcat276]

great videos man! thanks for ur channel learn alot! ik an avid hunter, fisher, and hiker. by the way im a sock guy too, i always buy wool socks and i always check the tag for the actual wool content.

[Ballisticbob517]

Hey nutn, speaking of waterproof rainshells you might want to check out the arctyrix jackets with gore-tex tech. They are virtually waterproof to the point of duck feathers!

[TheTobyKing]

Hi Nutnfancy and other Outdoor enthusiasts! Recently, ive started hiking and camping a lot. I have a nice layering system for my torso for different conditions, but do you have any tips for layering for pants? I have some thin synthetic pants (zipoff) which work great in summer, but what type of clothing should i look at for campin in cooler conditions (even up to 20°Fahrenheit)??

[69fuzzynutz]

good vid, never heard of LL Bean but then im in the uk i normally go for snugpak or keela stuff with RAB waterproofs.

[SuperRip7]

Patagonia works well in the cold.

[TheBrushful]

although they are gortex have you looked at the yeti extrem gaiters from berghaus for winter use

[IvanKesja]

As i watch this i'm grilling shrimp for a girl i work with, it's a her last day. So testing food plus watching nutn equals awesome if the math is right.

[Rhinoch8]

EMS, in switzerland, means Medico-Social Establishment, for old and crazy people

[ToddIngram1000]

@Rhinoch8 isn't that mse?

[Rhinoch8]

@ToddIngram1000 No because English isn't the main language you know...

[ToddIngram1000]

@Rhinoch8 my bad, I'm not from Switzerland

[mostcanwait]

Loved the unintentional comedy....off to part 3.

[grizzcope]

how much did all that gear cost?

[6packbrad]

hi nutn ur videos are great i was wondering how do u wash gloves properly mine always seam to go hard (crispy) and are very hard to break back in thanks dude

[bmx65]

"Melt like a Birthday Candle" ahaha great

[charlesburton95]

Haha, I'm 99% sure he's wearing LL Bean slippers in this vid.

[andrewubaldi]

are the leather gloves you always wear made by wells lamont

[TimandRyder96]

what does "Bivewak"???? mean???

[markshmily]

@TimandRyder96 I believe it means base camp. Like you'd set up a base camp and day hike around the area.

[spartansfan5]

hey nutn do you use snowshoes

[markshmily]

@spartansfan5 I've seen him use msr denali ascents and he's also done a review on them.

[ClubAverage]

I took the plunge and purchased some items from LL bean and had it shipped to Australia. One of the items was the windchallenger what a great company and the value for money since the AUS dollar is high blows away local competition with their cheap made in china junk selling for twice and even three times as much. I wouldn't do it any other way now!

[bencrazy702]

thank you

[MagnumPI4]

Military surp. gloves are also very good. And are pretty cheap. U can also purchase liners for less than four dollars just in case it gets really cold. In my experience they are good down below freezing. The same with military surplus boots and liners

[crazyoutdoors556]

veri ?? why dosnt nutn do his vids

[jacobzjf]

A major problem with all of this, and most equipment out there is that is it not availible in white. I live in colorado and there are time when ANYTHING you're wearing that isn't white is going to point you out BIG TIME... hate it, can't find anything in white.

[derekghose]

dude on gloves I use the weather sealent that I got from cabelas! It works on everything. from my canvas tent, to my gortex, my old boots from Iraq, to my maxpedition wallet! NO JOKE BRO!

[littlejayhawk96]

have you ever backpacked in Kansas if so what were your favorite places... i have no where to backpack!

[mrcabasa]

Bravo on the, buy when they're on sales, advice. Good plan!

[mehtl]

you say you like long pants if i were to wear sinthetic shorts and long ski or work sox would that surfice in your eyes. take into consideration im an australian

[siffoine]

Couple of ideas that work for me... I would recommend you trying woolen socks and base-layer. Natural material which kills bacteria, thus preventing smells. Wool also keeps warm when wet (thin wool still dries as fast as synthetics). I was using all kinds of synthetics before I found wool. Also I've found that traditional "Sami knife" kills the need for most of the other knives.

[DSL3Productions]

I always use the zip off leg pants, and i have never found that they break.

[tbj0820]

i always like to take a good set of ACUs or BDUs

[Kingmaconha]

I LOVE WATCHING THIS GUYS VIDEOS HES GOT THE COOLEST SHIT. I LOVE THE GREAT OUTDOORS!

[jin4da1abv]

dude, I've been watching your videos on knife reviews and your backpacking system... just awesome! thanks man!

[survivalkid5108]

what do you recomend for a boy scout who can not take fixed blades which pisses me off

[OneWithGuns93]

@survivalkid5108

nothing you really can do then, just take a folder.

[CHRISBERZ]

I am trying to put a video on YouTube but it says it can't be more than 10 min. How do you put a longer clip on?

[kornfan95336]

haha.. alright well im not gunna say im a huge hiker because i have never gone hiking before... but i have been in the snow a few times and i have never been dressed right... rashes SUCK... lol they are one of the worse things you can get when out anywhere where you are going to be in a moist area... but anyways... What would i want to wear in the snow... thx :D

[warpuppyTN70]

hey nutn you know what else helps chafing? bike shorts. i use em for soccer and they've prevent strawberries ( the rash/cut from sliding on grass/dirt) i use for for hiking and they prevent any sort of chafe/dangle if you know what i mean. not too expensive and they wick moisture great for hunting when you hike in and sit for 2-4 hours.

[classicjudo]

I am 6' 2" but very skinny 33" waist line. It hard to find pants and especially jackets because I have huge brood shoulders aka bodybuilder "once". Any Ideas since I only seem to find the lengthy pants in my waist size which are convertibles and I hate those?

[KJJohnson05]

LMAO...

"fleece gloves->"

"Allie the mountain dog in snow->"

[bushcraftourway]

:O well i personally love my goretex gaiters.... but i also loved the money the cost :/

ah well

[flex221]

i like the military grade pants..65% polyester 35% cotton..i think they are both rugged but they let your skin breathe...100% synthetic does not do that

[MagicForLife1995]

Do you use snowshoes?...

[petertheallblack]

Nice video a lot of gear no offense by the joke.

[no1livez4evr]

the ll bean anorak is no longer being produced

[Billy951ownage]

wow u have aLOT OF camping gear to review its good d:]

[johnmonk66]

Just a newbie comment on gloves, but I got a pair of bamboo gloves with rubber grip coating in Walgreens. They are super light weight, and bamboo dries easy, is breathable to keep your hands from sweating, and are anti-bacterial, so they don't get that famous damp smell. Just thought you might be intereseted in them

[dex0186]

hey can you do a review on the snowclaw? i have been looking at it for awhile but i dont want to buy a crappy product.

[HHSFHarry]

Nice system Nutn. I love those Mechanix gloves as well. You know what you should do? A video on the proper way to pack a pack. Lots of dudes don't know how to do that. I know when I started out in the scouts I had NO idea...I used to put all my heavy stuff in my sleeping bag pouch, I didn't know any better back then lol!

[biggin2155]

I always thought you were a tall guy.... so how big a boy are ya?

[nutnfancy]

He's 6'3". - Veri

[Rhinoch8]

@nutnfancy Just like me! We are big guys^^

[gunlover556]

you got that from the bob and tom show right ( roy d mercer ) lol

[biggin2155]

I was hoping someone would get that! Me and my dad would listen to the bob and tom show everyday when he brought me to school

[gunlover556]

cool i love that show i even have it on my  i pod

[smrobot1]

thnx 4 vids. The anorak you mentioned is no longer provided. Can you or veri guide us tnpers on what is comparable in the llbean line or another line.

[nutnfancy]

Smrobot1 - Nutn says he has to do research on that and hasn't gotten around to it yet..sorry! -- Veri

[santacruzsl06]

bivwack???

[jobo80]

bivouac. Its essentially an improvised shelter, either with a stick frame and leaves covering or with a bivy sack which is almost like a large sleeping bag that you and your sleeping bag go in to keep dry in place of a tent.

[MrJivePirate]

I love my gore-tex gators.

[TheTonyjara]

how did you get the job as a llbean product tester?

[nutnfancy]

Basically, he wrote several manufacturers and told them what he thought was missing in the tents that were being produced at that point. Some of them wrote back, but LL Bean liked what he said and formed a relationship with him. -- Veri (Nutn's sister)

[francescaloves2hike]

Cotton: Hikers call it  "the death cloth". Better believe it!

[XCritonX]

Cotton is good for relaxing on a beach in the Caribbean. Its also good for an office/dress shirt (I prefer linen, it lasts longer).

For difficult outdoor situations, you hit it right on the head, "death cloth". Nice!

[leeuell]

Great videos, thanks for all the info. I have been searching for the Anorak you mentioned but cannot find it anywhere, any good ideas where to find these items? Thanks for all your help.

[Zakeof8]

nutnfacny, man you are a great help. But can I just request one thing ?? When you are doing these part by part videos please post all the links in the description. It helps a lot man !

I mean for instance. I see in the related vid section right now part 4,6,7 no 3 if I had the link it would have been great. Thanks anyway man !

[jpr21b]

nice video

[flipincanadian]

Either L.L bean no longer makes the anorak or my searching skill aren't up to par because i could not find it one their website.

[tacknifenut110]

1:56 prevent you from gettin...CHAFED!

hahaha great vid man 5/5

[kensho3]

If you invite a fat guy to backpack with you, watch out! Inner-thigh chafing to the point of gushing blood is guaranteed. I've seen it. Not pretty.

[sswade1]

I've noticed Harbor freight has mechanic gloves in the bargain bin at all times. Hold up reasonably well for a few dollars a pair.

[melear22]

Harbor freight ROCKS, I picked up a folding saw there for $6 and for the most part it's as good as the $30 and $40 ones.

[RazorSharpVideos]

use a marine wet suit if its raining

[bali0025]

nice mokisins nutnfancy

[fixdeluxe1]

You should become the leader of a civillian militia.

[username2274317]

i'd be the first one thier

[Spaceman7o]

sealskin gloves!!!! amazing

[6x5magnum]

Like seriously dude you should be the head of an elete search and rescue team or something,, definately glad your a good guy...

[rosswes1]

Does not blend!

[lenny380]

wool is warm, dry quick, and dont melt by the fire

old school but the new wool gear is nice

[kRmAKiLLeR]

haha 1:55

[8kupkake]

lol

[leestephenj]

That primaloft snow suit is awsome.

[airsoftking9876]

you rock

[QuietBearr]

Just wondering, have you tried Cupron Socks? (Google it)

They have a military version as well as lighter weight normal socks.

Advantages are they are anti-microbial/bacterial, and they will literally never smell. You dont even have to wash them and they wont stink. Found that trait usefull in the bush.

In addition, if your feet get wet, you wont have any trenchfoot or other infections, and if you have problems with athletes foot, they will cure it....

[QuietBearr]

They also make Cupron clothes, bedding, etc as well. (Copper Ion Technology makes them totally anti-microbial)

Just thought you may want to try them out, I know my feet can get pretty nappy when on larger hikes.

[primopalombo]

ever hiked in Louisiana

[Fuzzypanda91]

Just a couple additions from my experiences backpacking in the Olympic and Cascade ranges, gators are a must. All through the year dew will be present and any small plants you walk past will soak your ankles without them. Also, synthetics are an absolute must. Since fires are illegal in most areas worth visiting there will be no way to dry your cotton clothing, trust me it's not fun :(

[gunge1775]

excellent content and presentation

[rvlqcitizen]

I just found your vids today. I have many of the same items. But money was real tight when I got my stuff. Ya can't beat LL Bean! Last year I stranded myself on purpose in Northern Maine for an extended stay. Waaay off the beaten path. Wish I had seen your vids before THAT. But it wasGREAT!! Rock on n keep it up. Love the vids. Thanks! Oh, and ya can't beat LLBeans quality guarantee. They ROCK! And NO I never worked for them. lol

[havikiller]

What kind of pack do you have for your dog, and how do you pack her?

[teagueh]

What do you wear on your legs in snake country?

Great Vids!

[tommie314101]

a heavy duty pair of titanium chainmail-pants

[d8mac9]

a great winter jacket i use is by columbia sports wear. i ski in that and dont get held down at all.

[ssstealth]

LLBean makes talls because we know how to grow them big up here in Maine! LOL

Awe heck, I'm only 6'3"...

[comicfanartist1]

where in maine? im from wilton!!

[ssstealth]

I'm in Brunswick, born and raised.

LOL, my family and I will be driving through Wilton TOMORROW. Goin' campin'!!

I'll be testing my gear all week :-D

[comicfanartist1]

lol wilton's definitely great for camping ;-)

[suckithardnfast]

In west Philadelphia born and raised

On the playground was where I spent most of my days

Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool

And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school

When a couple of guys

Who were up to no good

Started making trouble in my neighborhood

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared

She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

[CHARLIEISALOSER]

were you in the regiment

[Manny4155]

Have you ever hiked Michigan?

[tallswede68]

I love deerskin gloves. They allow you to feel everything you touch, almost like latex.

[tallswede68]

Hi, I'm 6'8". Will LLBean's tall sizes work for me?

[Stargazer88]

in the norwegian army, one of the first things they teach you, is cloathing yourself. sweat managment is critical at -20 celsius.

great video man.

[robert5117]

Love this.

[jetfuel545]

5 star Awesome, you bet. This is perhaps my favorite series yet. Nutnfancy pourin down the knowledge. Thanks bro for all your time once again. Like you said in the past give a man a fish feed him for a day, teach a man to fish feed him for life. Well this rings true here once again. See ya in round 3. Jet over and out

[chrisw40]

mmm huevos rancheros

[jeepnicc]

Awesome job man! Right there w/ ya on the syn. clothing. Cotton kills!!

[Pukka25]

Glad you covered all this clothing its very important to check weather updates before you go out as you may be prepared for one thing then hit by another. Also sweating is very dangerous in certain survival situations and can be a killer as hyperthermia sets in, so yes clothing for the day and clothing for the night, some places it can be 45°C in the day then plummet to 0°C at night

[dave997]

i can only see parts 1 and 2, is there supposedly 8 parts? are they just not posted yet?

[whiteboystomp777]

Great video nutnfancy! keep em' comin.

[sc00ny]

Glad you're placing priority on layers of clothing. Responsible stance.

I think people should get all this gear and whittle it down to what they use/prefer.

Nutn, do you use an inflatable mattress in your bivouac? I'm testing a thermarest pro lite 3 next week

[LIGHTNINGLEVIS]

I learn alot from your vids, thanks

[yxvq]

great vid, dude, just like almost all of yours *thumb up*

Keep it up! :)

[Rasenkrieger]

"sweat management is one the most important principles of backpacking" !

[aggelos123]

awesome

[Burson69]

Rock on
