My Backpacking Gear As Of Now

Starting to get heavy into backpacking this year and wanted to share some of the gear I currently have. I grew up in CT always playing in the woods and I have a great love of the outdoors. Now in FL I'm starting to do a lot of hiking and 1-3 day backpack trips. Been watching a bunch of the you tube videos on hiking and backpacking and getting very inspired by the likes of nutnfancy and cr0cket20 and so on. Please share any ideas you may have for this FL environment...thanks

great vid man, my stuff is walmart too so dont feel bad, atleast you got a good bag, i only got an old army surplus bag haha

@KnifeFighter666 Thanks man it's funny this year I have a job again so I can afford some upgrades but now I don't have the time to get out there!

[dukejuno]

Well done, I love to see people that make the best with what they have and can afford, it's about getting out there and having fun. There is a ton of great stuff that can be had on the cheap, and great stuff you can make for even cheaper. I am really lucky, my mother works for Kelty so I get gear real cheap.

How did the trip go?

And don't ever ditch the gun, it's your life, not the people who leave comments.

@dukejuno o man your mom works for kelty?! awesome. teh trip was fun thanks. The best tent I've seen under $100 is the kelty zenith at target. it seems almost identical to the kelty gunnison 2.1. but yeah i agree with the gun thing i never leave it. hope to ahve some more vids this fall/winter

@Gman7e Try the Ozark trail Jr tent for $19!!! I have used it for two years now and I do not regret it. SUPER light weight.

[Gman7e]

@militaryman69 It's funny you say that because that used to be my main tent ha! If you slept diagonally it was alright and fairly waterproof.

[billybobsdestruction]

wal mart crap still works. And you are the 1st person ive seen to pack stuff for fun. its always mre's and tarps never fun stuff . thumbs up for that

@defhalo so how many bears have you shot????

[moonprintHIKER]

cover the chiger baits with finger nail polish it will sufer them

[mark12videos]

Shake it into the tops of your socks, around the ankles, and down in your underwear and the underwear waistband. Those are the places those little chigger mother'fr's really attack. Now the AFTER BITE remedy is to take CLEAR nail polish and apply it over the bite. When a chigger bites you the reason it itches so f''ing long is that the bug burrows under and stays in your skin. The nail polish suffocates the little bastard and he dies. Plus the nail polish will seal out infection.

Good video dude. I too have a Kelty RedCloud. Awesome. I bring a Beretta 9mm 17+1 clip.

Now here is THE SOLUTION for heavy chiggers in the Southeast USA... I took this along on a 21 day canoe trip through the Everglades and it was incredible: Take 1 part sulphur powder to 3 parts baby powder and shake it up mix it well inside the baby powder shaker bottle.

The sulphur powder stinks like eggs so the baby powder compensates for that.

Great video, I think it's good to remind yourself- although your gear may not be the top quality- it gets you out there in beautiful nature which doesnt care how much money you have- it's free for all :) I think you show a great example here that you can have basic stuff and have a great time. :) thanks 4 that.

[defhalo]

@brennanfee73 Totally agree, most handguns (unless you get an amazing .01% shot) don't have stopping power where as spray works wonderfully.

that gun aint doin shit if anything itl just piss it off.
