  • Wow,,,,,A backpacker with proper grammer.

    I carry only around 35lbs, and that's mostly comfort, and food items depending on my destination. I would bring the wife, but she weigh's too much for my pack.

  • OMG, lame. My video is on the way. Ugh...

  • I believe a camp Knife or Bush knife would be much useful #1 on my list.

  • @ArcaneLogic I only bought my pack, the rest I got from my dad.

  • @SarahShalomDavid Most hikers lash them to the back of their packs. Many packs provide lash points or loops for hiking poles now. Even cheap WalMart/KMart packs have them. Hope this helps.

  • With the hiking poles, what an earth would you do with them when you arent needing them? I mean they would probably benefit my knees but.. where an earth would ya stick em!?!?!?

  • i pack my shotgun.

  • expertvillage should stop makeing vidios they have no idea what to do. Also they can't make a propper vidio without being stupied and gayl.

  • i say...ditch the pussy pad, the stove, the untensils, the food, maybe even the tent...backpacking is about living with the land is it not? so why are we bringing a bunch of luxury stuff now?

  • My ultimate advice for beginners - don't buy anything! Rent or borrow your gear and go backpacking with someone who's experienced - let them walk you through a gear list that will be appropriate for where/when you're going. It takes time to work out what gear you like, what your style is, and what system works for you. If you're a beginner, I guarantee that no matter how much research you do you will spend thousands of dollars on stuff that you will be unhappy with after only a few excursions.

  • @iammuss01 Unless of course, you're on the side of a mountain above the treeline in 40mph winds and heavy snowing.
