Excellent breakdown, thanks for the info and the ideas!

No battery pack. Nice to see your not addicted to rechargeable gear like I am 😀

Never seen someone pack their sleeping on the the top. Why wouldn't you put it in the bottom and raise your food and cooking supplies to the top? Your pack designer Steve does it that way so you got me intrigued, whats the method to this madness ha?

Great video and products. Thank you. Is that a thermacell on the table? I’ve never used one, do they work?

[T-K]

What’d ya think it weighs?
I like it, basic and efficient. Thanks for the info

Nice video. I am looking for a warm pair of gloves I can still shoot my thumb realse with. At least a few times every September I find myself in a situation where I get really cold hand. Any recommendations?

Super confused on why you want the heaviest items in the bottom? I heard you mention keeping them close to your back, which id agree with. Not saying you’re wrong, to each their own. Not like you don’t have a ton of backpacking experience haha.

But typical rule of thumb you want that heavy weight in the middle of your back, light fill in the bottom/front and medium weight on top.

No power bank? You never know when you get that message saying you can stay a couple more days 🤷🏼‍♂️

[kenwiltsie]

No extra underwear? Definitely be last in line 😂

This is backwards of everything I’ve ever seen and heard. You don’t want to pack your heavy stuff at bottom, you want it mid-bag against your back. Light compressed items go in the bottom. Never heard of everything on top of food bag.
