Really appreciated the recognition/acknowledgment that not everyone has access to REI. They don’t ship to Australia and will only ship a bunch of brands within the US. I think it’d be cool to see more reviews from products not from North America in general. Love that Decathlon gets constant mentions. Backpacking does manage to happen with amazing gear and companies not from NA…

It always makes me chuckle how much Justin loves gear, then tosses all of it on the ground like "whatever"! You can hear the titanium spoon clanking on something lol. I was watching a different video yesterday and everything he threw down kept bouncing off the power-pack. One of the best reviewers on youtube..thanks Justin keep it up!

The only reason I'm splurging on some seriously ultralight gear is so I can bring comfort items without pushing the pack even heavier. If i can save one pound shaving off weight of say 5-6 items, then a 1.2 lb comfort item, like a chair, or a real pillow doesn't sound as bad to add. lol

I loved this video Justin and you make some good points. I was thinking a lot lately about the moniker "Ultralight" and how people get so caught up over a pound. I rather enjoy my time than fit into a category. My base weight is ultralight, but I decided to start adding some luxury items in and the chair seems like a great idea.

Great Video! When I'm backpacking, my ultimate piece of comfort gear is a notepad. I enjoy playing games like hangman, taking notes, and making sketches during hikes. I use the notepad for both practical and recreational purposes. While I’m open to trying new products, I currently use Rocketbook Mini for several reasons. First, it’s lightweight, weighing only 80g, and has waterproof pages. Second, I can easily scan notes to my phone, then erase them with a damp cloth, ensuring I never run out of pages while on my trip. Third, the cover that serves as a flat writing surface, can also be used as a windscreen. As a bonus, the pages can even be used to start a fire in an emergency, although they smell ghastly. I'm not sure if there's a superior product out there, but I’m quite happy with it so far.

I’m huge fan of Gregory. I wear a Jade and even though it was only a 40lb payload max, it carried over 50lbs easily.

My favorite rain jacket is one that my husband got from his work. He does distribution for a major food/beverage company. They outfit their drivers with some good outdoor weather gear.

I really love the outdoors and so on, and your gear selection is terrific, yet everything is so darned expensive! Not everyone has the cash to purchase these items. Suggestions, please, and be nice, okay?

Love this approach, usually videos are either for car camping which is waaaay too heavy or ultralight which is pure torture. When I camp, I usually park at a camping ground and then leave on kayak to reach a more back country spot where I can fish from. Having a kayak mean I can bring way more weight than a backpacker, but way less than a car camper.

Thanks Justin i like the idea of the Russbe Lunch Systems for my oats in the morning Thanks again always something i can buy for camping Dave from Labrador City

.... spiced apple cider with some fire ball.... so good especially after a long day of hiking. Did the WCT last summer and it was so nice to have that to warm up.

Have you ever tried a hammock? It was a total game changer for me in terms of comfort. I got a custom Dream Hammock specifically tailored for a side sleeper with my weight and dimensions and I never want to wake up. It is a bit heavier (even with a DCF tarp) and takes longer to set up but, in my mind it's totally worth it. I have a pretty sweet tent set up but if there are plenty of trees, I'll choose the hammock every single time. Plus you can set up in a lot of diverse, out of the way locations.

I appreciate how much info you got into this short video. Some other YouTubers who I wont name wouldn’t even be past their into jokes at this point. I get a lot of good tips from your vids

[chrishamilton]

My goodness, refreshing post. Not full of waffle and practical.

"I love this spoon! **chucks it off camera**

If you buy a sit pad and bring a piece of nylon strapping with you, you can make an ultralight version of a camp chair and it’s still very comfortable. You tie bowlin knots at each end of the straps for your feet and have the strapping reach chest height while you’re standing with each foot in the bowlin loops. Then you can sit down with the webbing flat against the middle of your shoulder blades and lean back while sitting on the pad. Boom.

Hi Justin, fantastic video and I don't think people appreciate how much more enjoyable hiking and wild camping is with a few of these comforts. I use the helinox chair zero (which is great when you take a break), and thermarest chair for sitting easily in the tent, and coupled with the little table just makes everything so much fun. As you say, if you have a very comfortable fitting backpack then a heavier load is not an issue, and the Hoka trail shoes I use for running and they just make you feel like you are walking on air. Nice to see some products we can actually get here in Scotland! Keep up the great work my friend, terrific!

[mysterylovescompany]

Great video, Justin; I especially like your emphasis on economy with that quilt! Because quilts can get exxy, so fast ( _weeps in Poor_ ).

When I was young a 50 pound pack was nothing, today a base weight of 8 pounds feels a lot better. I'm 78 and have been going UL for the last 20 or so years. Never, Never will go back to a heavy pack. I'm just as comfortable today, even a shade more comfortable then when I was younger. I don't feel like a pack mule at the end of the day. My Jungle hammock doubles as my chair, lounger, bed and camp comfort. I like my gear to do double duty or even triple duty when possible. It eliminates a lot of extra items. That's what keeps life interesting, everyone has different ways of doing things. It offers a wealth of information a person can learn from

Nice options for reusable food storage 👍🏼
