I've found I don't need much of a pillow in a hammock, but when on the ground a real pillow is the best thing you can do for a good night's sleep.

Remember, funding a trip with great people is more important than splurging on all the best gear!

On your 1st aid kit—I’m an 8 year vet of the Marine Corps and I don’t pack much more of a kit than you do. I do make sure I have a tourniquet, super glue (better than butterflies for deeper cuts), alcohol and peroxide (because river water is full of critters—kept in small plastic squeeze bottles), tweezers and a small razor), cortisone cream, and Tylenol PM—kills pain and induces sleep. Nothing larger because I don’t expect incoming fire and sucking chest wounds! Always bandaids and yadda yadda.

In addition to a first aid kit, I usually carry some kind of boat patch kit just to have in an emergency.

Just got back from a 2 day kayak trip at horseshoe bend AZ it was epic! Me and another in our group had your dry bags and man what a game changer. Super high quality and didn’t leak a drop. Can’t wait for the duffle release!

Black diamond makes really great dual power weather resistant head lights

It's nice to see how your loadout evolves from year to year. Change can be good! One thing you might think about changing is loose ice. Freeze 500ml water bottles ahead of the trip- they last longer, don't leave slushy water to ruin food, are drinkable after they've served their cooling purpose, and as long as we pack them empties out.... 8^) Keep up the good work!

Your dry bags/back packs look great. For sure going on my wish list. I'm gearing up for my first kayak overnight trip next month on the Buffalo. These gear list videos are super helpful.

[DanielGagne]

Equipped ourselves with camping gear this year. So far we've been only doing kayak day trips, but thanks to your lists, we're now ready for our 1st overnight! Can't wait! You vids are ALWAYS amazing! Thanks for the content!

We need an updated 2023 gear list video!

As an alternative to the hot hand, just bring a pair of cheap leather work gloves. Might not be quite as insulated but a decent pair costs like $10 and I regularly stick my hand in raging fires to adjust the log with one on without worry so long as I don't dawdle.

Hey how's it going . So glad Spring is here now . I got a new car after we had the bad wreck in one of our Dodges . I got a Subaru Impreza hatchback AWD 4X4 and I bought a set of saddles for my kayak can only carry one kayak but 90% of my paddling is by myself anyway . About head lamps if you haven't looked at the one at Harbor Freight with the adjustable beam for the camp you should I don't know if it is waterproof but I try to be off the water by dark anyway . It is SUPER bright and goes from flood to tight beam simply by pushing the lens in or out . And it is not bad on batteries, I love it .

Setting off with my oil-geologist son in law from Montrose in Houston this Saturday morning on an adventure up here in Kansas. Kayaks and Aqua Bound Manta Ray paddles for the trip. I’ve got the Remote Designs back pack loaded and ready. Also using the Jet Boil system and an Aero Press for the all-important coffee on this trip. We will be rocking some Townes Van Zandt tunes during the stops (with the coffee). You have a great list on this vid and it’s good for thought! Thanks for keeping us stoked!

Dude, we look like the Clampett's rollin' into to Beverly Hills when we go on long cane camping trips. My buddy Poe has even been known to pack his zero gravity lounge chair on trips into the Okefenokee Swamp! I have a pic of him napping in his chair with an alligator sitting in the water behind him, just waiting on him to fall in! LOL!

[micah]

Thank you for the full gear list in your video description! The link to lighterpack is so useful for not just seeing your gear but also to make and track my own. Many blessings brother 🤙🏼

Hey buddy how's it going. Man that was a good gear list for 2022. This is perfect timing cuz I need to go figure out what I need to upgrade this year too besides Footwear that I cannot find wide enough to fit my foot. The grill is definitely one thing I need to get. Cooking my hotdogs, Burgers, & bratwurst on a pan for now. It's working for now though but it will be nice to have a grill that would set over top of the fire. I'm hoping and praying that the weather won't be severe this year so I can take the family out kayak, kayak camping a lot this year now that my wife has a friend/co-worker that does a lot of kayak camping she can go out with. My wife did not like river water until her co-worker talked her into doing it one time with her to see what the experience was and my wife fell in love with it. She went out and bought a kayak last year and now loves kayaking. Hope you and your family are doing well. Good Gear review list. Thank you for sharing this video.

I moved to a jet boil last year. Best camp stove I’ve ever had. Super light. Great video !

[anthonybarbour]

Hey Gatewood...great video. To protect your Paddles, go to an auto parts store and buy some black door edging, the one for vans works best. Wrap it around the edges of your paddle. You can probably see how looks if you watch one of Pete's videos and look closely at his paddle.

I've been binging your videos, they're so good and really makes me wanna get out on a river and spend a few days away. A question I've had is how you confirm you're not setting up on private land and potentially trespassing when you're camping? Is there a resource on the web you check before you head out?
