I had friends laugh at me saying I was carrying too much on a day hike until one borrowed a layer because they were chilly, took care of blisters on another and filtered water for one who ran out. They now get it and beefed up their day kit.

Gear videos are always great. It’s always good to take account of what you’ve got, what you may not ever use, what might be better to use etc.

Thanks to you I have a Waymark EMBR and a WM Ultralite bag. Love them both. Great tips on the day items. I bring an emergency bivy because I once found a hiker soaked to the bone and shivering on a rock. Your entire family seem like great people. Rock on, Devin!

This was brilliantly executed video bud, helpful and simply presented in one professional and enjoyable way!

Great video!!! I love my day hikes and always prepare for the unexpected changes. I always add my Dyneema tarp and headlamp for the event of something going sideways and getting stuck out in weather or overnight.

Nice video - I think #1 could have been some form of communication. If it's a smart phone, confirm you'll have reception. If its a Satellite system like your ZOLEO confirm it's active and fully charged. FYI, I carried a ZOLEO on my AT Thru Hike this year and it was terrible so I sold it as soon as I got home.

I’ve been hiking a lot this season in the Wasatch mountains in Utah…shocked how many “hikers” I see, literally on every hike, that don’t even have water.

A pregnant women last week with her partner- no water, simple pack, or hiking shoes.

Great video!

We saw a total eclipse a few years back. Very cool/weird experience. It was like twilight then dark for a few minutes, but no long shadows. All the birds got quiet, and the crickets started chirping. My dog curled up and laid down. Then the sun was back out.

Nice video. My step son and I are doing the Dragons Tooth and McAfee Knob in the Blue Ridge Mountains next weekend! As an amateur hiker, I'm trying to get all the info I can ahead of time.

Great pack by the way. Big Agnes killed it with that little guy.

Awesome hike with your wife. I love that trail. Such a beautiful area. Looks like the early snow is staying in the area too. Nice packing job and gear selections. Keep it up and you might start having a heavy pack like me. LOL. Cool video. Glad you got to hike on eclipse day. Take care.

Great list. I always carry a bandana as a handkerchief, a family sized first aid kit, a small Swiss Army knife and an extra pair of gloves especially in the cooler months. I try to carry and cover the ten essentials list on every hike. And of course extra snacks!

[overwatchxrescue]

Excellent gear considerations and list!

[travislake]

I love your videos. I was wondering what the best resource is to find overnight hikes for beginners so I could do a gear shakedown. Want to start overnight backpacking. I am in Southern Utah but would love to also do some Uintah Mountan hiking and camping also. It’s hard to find local overnight hikes in my opinion because you don’t know if camping is allowed

[jarrodyeager]

I don’t consider myself a “beginner”, I still find this video valuable.

[nobison]

Sh.t Kit. Could save the day for you or someone you love!

[PrybarCommando]

Doesn’t include weed, cigars or whiskey. Boo.

[orlsifo]

Hydration, shelter and a fire starter

What are the shoes that you're wearing in this video? Thank you and great video as always! :)
