I've done the TMB before - to anyone reading this, make this trip a priority. You won't regret it. Go with friends or alone you'll have an amazing time. This gear list is definitely solid advice. I'm looking forward to picking up some Evolved Supply Co. Gear soon.

Interesting. Did the TMB 2 weeks ago. Finished in 9 days with the full camp setup. While I can attest the refuges well frequented we met a lot of people going full camp mode and sleeping at camping sites. Usually that gets you water, a small store, shower, toilet and a way to wash your clothes. 10€ a person plus 7€ a tent or so. Only in 🇮🇹 it's a little bit harder, could stay in a Refugio there. That said can't confirm your fear of bad coffee at all. It was a treat to have so many stops with nice espresso or americano.
Food and water supply is good on this trail so can really cut the weight there, but no need to sleep in refuges every night - that's hella expensive.

The roommate and I just got back from backpacking the Blue Lakes, both of us thought we packed minimally and still ended up carrying 30-40lbs respectively. Obviously, the bear canister that we're required to have did add a significant amount of weight and our 7lbs tent probably doesn't help either. We're hoping to do the TMB soon, but we desperately need to figure out how to get our base weights down without completely breaking the bank. Thank you so much for these videos, we've been using your gear recommendations for years and it hasn't let us down yet.

I drove down from the UK and did this last year, I camped every night, there are several free camp sites or wild camping is also easily done. I did a mix of both and had no problems at all. I’m 48 and had no problem completing the walk. If you’re used to walking all day you should be fine completing this.

TMB is on my list for 2025. Turning 50 next year's so seems the perfect time

TMB was nice I did it a couple of years ago also in ~ 8 days. About 1/2 camping 1/2 huts.

[richardinacan]

the TMB is one of the highlights of my life, 100% would do it again. I'm glad I camped it too, selecting and using the gear it's a part of the experience that i really value.

[christiannisonger]

Finished the TMB last month. I was probably a week or so before you. I did the slow 11 days classic route. It was fantastic. Thanks for all you do, you’re a pretty good dude.

[ClaireReese-dg]

The towel and collapsable water bottle are on my list now!

[josiebones]

TMB is definitely on my bucket list. I just put together my bikepacking kit, minus a few odds and ends, so I'm looking forward to that video. I'm planning my first trip as soon as it cools down a bit in the fall.

What a beaut I think you plucked the Mallory right out of my dreams. Thru hiking the Via Alpina next summer, here I was debating between an Evolved Supply Co. Ranger and a Black Diamond Distance 22. It looks like a gorgeous marriage of the two that I would trade an internal organ for if that turns out to be true. Signed up for news via your website, I really hope you get it launched before next summer

[Lizzybeth]

Looks a lot like my Camino gear list. I carried a similar style pack with the running style vest and water bottles up front which worked great. I need to check out those CNOC bottles 👍🏻👍🏻

[johneason]

I just dud the TMB, I think I was 2 weeks ahead of you. You went thru the same company. I had such a fantastic time, I will do it again. We had tough weather and still a lot of snow to hike thru. But best of memories, we had 7 hikers and a guide. Awesome group.

[Harry-Giles]

Just got back from hiking a modded version of the TMB. Second time around and utterly beautiful.

[BreathNino]

Going to do the TMB in 3 weeks time 😁😁😁 but with the camp set up

[CharlesTracey]

Your attention to detail is amazing. You would have made a great engineer, but luckily you found a better vocation.

[stby_outdoors]

I love that these new packs are uniquely designed and are more than just bigger or smaller Rangers. I could see this next one being a great day pack 🤙🏻

love the color selection for the collection of clothes

6:03 Glad to see you are using Norrøna🇳🇴. Another norwegian brand that has taken off the last years is Lanullva, very comfortable!

[markallen]

Will we see a video showing us the hike? That looks fantastic!
