Loved the videobomb comedic addition. These little extras you're putting in lately are lots of fun. Thank you for the extra effort.

Greetings from Russia. I learn English from your videos

The EVLV is the backpack I didn’t know that I was waiting all my life for. I didn’t think it could be possible that a pack can carry 20lbs so comfortable and stable without a hip belt, I feel zero weight on my shoulders. Outstanding job on this design Darwin.

Great to see that your gear doesn't change much and remains very simple. Looking forward to your upcoming videos of this hike.

I love the relaxing jazz music in the background. It's very cozy.

[JordanGreenPNW]

So stoked hiking season is right around the corner, great setup.

Darwin I think you might just be the best person in YouTube backpacking. Everyone else is doing nothing but stale old top 10s and gear reviews. And while you are doing similar sorts of videos you keep trying to make the videos more fun.

I liked the music while going over the gear. Happy hike to you!

[theadventureswithben]

Thanks for the gear load out. Nice job getting your baseweight as low as possible especially for a winter trip. Good luck on your hike!

[JaredHikes]

Thanks Darwin, great vid. Have fun on your trip. I just got back from my first long (just shy of 70 miles) hike... Backbone Trail in California. You are one of my huge inspirations for that trip. Keep on trekkin'!! 🤠

Just putting my gear together for a 10-12 trip (without option to re-stock) and struggling with that gradual creep. Nice to get a refresher on how hard you have to slash 😊

[vampirebottom]

I'm hitting the BMT/AT loop this fall and putting my gear together, so this is getting me hype as hell.

[TRISTINBLACK-dyjx]

Camera quality is looking great Darwin! Appreciate you putting me onto new gear. Good luck on the trail.

[herbhometales]

Hey Darwin 😊Thanks for the work you do.
I’m an older hiker and your videos helped me to be comfortable with packing what suited me, not the shoulds, lol.
We’re planning on thru hiking the Ozark Hilands Trail this fall, can’t wait to get on trail again!

[chadsavage]

If you need a resupply, shuttle, or anything else let me know! My wife works about 3 miles from mile 110 (Childers creek) and I fly fish that river most weekends! Gorgeous trail!

[Theoldmaninthewoods]

Excited to see your hiking this trail as it’s a trail I have wanted to do. Looking forward to your videos

[alyishiking]

I have to go as light as possible on my next thru because of my knees, so this was super helpful for dialing in my own gear list. Awesome stuff!

[aleichorn]

Thank you Darwin. Great information. Hope your recovery is going well. Hike On!

[robopecha]
