I do appreciate the title of this video, "Gear I would use" instead of "Best ultralight gear". I don't know if you did this consciously, but it shows that this list is subjective to the person and I appreciate you making that clear. You seem to also say as much in the video. I want to give positive feedback about ways I see you improving instead of just being critical.

Demo-ing the bidet. My boy Justin is fearless. Great channel. 😊

You should do a review on some of the new MEC ultralight stuff. Aphelion sleeping bag, pace UL 40, vectair UL. Pair it up with a spark 2.0? I’m sure the Canadian crowd would love to see it!

Of all the ultralight hikers on YT, you seem to have the most dialed in system. A truly refined minimalist vibe. Bravo 👏

I really appreciate the bidet demonstration. I kinda wondered about how that was done.

Justin, great UL video! I see the"lid" made another cameo appearance, I recently discovered the lid from the Chockfull-of-nuts coffee can fits perfectly over the Toaks 650 Light pot with it's lid. I only boil water for dinner and cold soak the rest of the time.

When will you be ready to talk about the new lid you’ve been using on Toaks pot?

If you live in Canada, GearTrade is basically the Canadian version of GGG. Buying from GGG and shipping to Canada can get pretty cost-prohibitive due to shipping costs and duty taxes.

Nice man ExPed pad! Yes! I went from ThermaRest Uberlite to the Ultra 1R WIDE edition 😴 Worth the weight, the vertical baffles let me just die in one spot I don’t slide off

Nice video. I really wanted to like the Mariposa but it was just not a good fit for me.
Instead of mayflys, i like water shoes that i got on amazon for evenings in camp.
happy hiking y'all!

Great place to buy cottage brand gear. Gear is always evolving. As for tents! I’ll stick with my Durston X Mid pro 2 or 2+

I loved my Mariposa but I got tired of the back sweat on that one. The Zpacks Arc keeps the pack off your back and you get a nice breeze through there! Stay nice and dry! Ha! Worth every penny on a thru-hike!

[TonyArechiga]

Backpack bidet is something I'll never leave home without! That changed the game for long hikes! Haha

I have a Mariposa and didn't realize the waist belt was removable. But I had a look, and yeah, if you remove the frame, it frees the belt to slide out. Cool. I got some holes in the bottom of it my first trip out (in the desert) and was bummed I bought it. But I couldn't return it, and didn't want to spend money on a different pack, so I kept using it, and now kinda like it.

Love seeing such heavily worn Space Bear Bags stuff!

I have the OG Mariposa. I use an older Zpacks Solplex (2 pole) and keep it in the tall side pocket. I keep my sleeping pad in the hydration bladder pocket.

The 2024 version is tempting because of the new straps, belt, and load lifters. But no hydration bladder pocket for my sleeping pad. 😢 Plus my OG Mariposa is still in great shape.

[wizardthinker]

Wow, this is great! So intrigued by the clips on the pad that hold the quilt in place. Anyone know where they’re from? I slip off my pad all the time! 😅

I love the Pink Titanium Spoon! I have a titanium spoon, but mine is not pink and magic!

[jennymckinnon]

Ok I've used the bidet before, but have never heard of anyone using the soap on the hand method before. Interesting. Not sure if I'm ready for that yet. Lol But, will keep that in mind. Especially if I run out of toilet paper!
