Backpacking Tips - A Light Weight Multi Day System

I'm preparing for a 3 day, 50 mile hike and wanted to show you guys my lightweight system. This pack only weighs 28.5 lbs fully loaded and has a lot of capabilities. Some luxuries were left behind, but that is necessary for a long fast hike in high elevation country.

Is the fiskers saw as good as a bancho laplander? I am new to bushcraft/hiking etc and Im still researching LOTS before I make each purchase. Thanks. UK newbie :)

I've been using the fiskars saw for 10 years now with zero complaints. Its super lightweight and it is a fast cutter. They are also pretty inexpensive while proving to be invaluable in the backcountry

How muchi does your pack weigh when its empty. Nice pack,

Thanks, Steve,

@stevebushido pack weighs 3 lbs 1 oz empty. It's pretty nice. It's tuned for a woman, but I don't have any adjust-ability issues

28 lbs. is NOT light. If you get the weight down, which you can easily and safely do, you can cover 16-18 miles before lunch without much effort. Why drag all of your crap into the woods? You've fallen prey to man vs. nature marketing. Enjoy nature, don't fear it.

I average 3.5 mules an hour at 10,000 plus feet elevation with this rig for days at a time. Hasn't caused any issues for me and I use all my gear.

@TheVyndictus Yup! Like that'n, too. Thanks. By the way, I don't use this channel anymore. I'm rainbowhiker 's channel these days.

@TheOutdoorBasics He's giving the full weight, not the dryweight. He has 4 kilos of water, which is near 10 lbs. Folks competing for the lightest pack never seam to include water, food, fuel, what they wear, their poles..

@TheDanMcK Thankyou for the info. I was going to go for the Fiskars based on the weight. But everyone keeps going on about the Laplander. Including our Bush Demi-God over here in the UK, Ray Mears. When you have pedigree of that calibre telling you, the Laplaner is the one they use, you sit up and listen, Maybe ill do a little more research before my purchase. The Fiskars looks a little fragile, IMO. You don't need equipment failure out in forest/backwoods, where you need it most. Happy hiking.

@trailrunner733t Not everyone is there to be "post zombie apocolpse man with a big knife and fire bow" Some of us like to go out and enjoy nature and also utilise the tools that science and tech has provided for us, so we can look around more and not spend all our time purifying water and making fire. Lose the superiority complex and have some fun. Maybe try being a little positive to the community of nature and mother earth lovers instead of sounding like a red-neck facist? Good day to you.

What kind of pants do you wear when traveling/hiking? How many pairs or changes of cloths do you carry?

28 lbs is pretty light, but I'm pretty sure that's a girls pack.
