My new ultralight pack- Whippa Overland 60

[CC-enlj]

Great setup. It’s a proper outdoorsman setup with a proper emergency kit, proper gear to deal with most situations. So many ultralight people just don’t go off the “trail”. I like the double pillow idea. So I carry a “light my fire” mora knife. Check it out, super light super strong, awesome clip/holster, integrated Ferro rod in the handle, knife has flat edge. Could even process firewood/bushcraft if needed.

I see a lot of comments critical of the cost of the gear. I started with over nighters in summer with nothing but a sleeping bag & my school bag, a bottle of water & a few packets of chips. Each trip i would note something i could not do without & built my pack & learnt as i went. Salvation army second hand store are a great place to find stuff. Having no $ is really not an excuse

I love the broccolini rubber bands . I’ve seen them in a few of ya videos .

Keep up the good work mate

[UrbanKiwiana]

Gidday mate..this is helpful for my noob arse, im about to walk around and all over New Zealand, for the next 12+ months.
So its helpful seeing what others carry an though most of this is well out of my budget it still gives me a idea.
I found I brought alot of cheap things thinking she'll be rite..then literally this week I panicked and upgraded everything lol.
Though my sleeping bag is let down it was ment to be good -14 It was literally 6 degrees the other night and I was so cold lol.
Hoping it'll be warm summer this year.

Ive been wanting to find better tools for filming but everything is so bloody expensive.
Thanks mate have an amazing weekend ahead.

I think that’s how I found your channel. Through one of your gear videos. Great stuff Scotty!

[wk]

Another awesome video mate! Promoting camping, fishing, hunting, hiking and Aussie small business on your channel is great to see. My son and I are looking forward to the next one. Keep it up.

Great round up Scotty.

Just got my own pack weight down to 9.5kg base weight, also not going ultralight.

Very happy with where it's at considering my first hike with my mates 5 years ago I was lugging around a 21kg pack for a single night's hike. Don't ask. Hahahaha!

[Amanda-eioc]

Thanks for the rundown Scotty. Have been looking at the Durston for a while now so good to hear the difference between the two options :)

[bluedog]

Good set up Scotty; this is very minimal, but have you ever thought about buying a small black sharpie pen/texta for the medkit? just, if you're conscious and remember or have a mate assisting so you can mark on the bandage a snake bite location. Knowing a lot of ex patrol medics (ADF) and paramedics one of the biggest delays of snake identification to get the correct anti venom is trying to find the bite location. Food for thought. Loving your vids mate.

[jackkermode]

Great video Scotty - I’m trying to run a similar set up- albeit most stuff from Temu 🤣. You are a big inspiration for me getting into solo hiking and YouTube so keep doing what you are doing mate and thank you!

[Andyb]

Nice run down of the gear mate. Cheers

[stevenloynds]

Ive seen some of the comments and i agree with some, so i dont really need to watch this video...this is definitely top tier gear and way out of my price range but understand you have responsibilities to uphold by reviewing the products supplied...I seen someone ask for a budget gear episode "yes please" can you do it without conflicts with sponsors....I would like to see for someone that wants to get out try before they commit to the hirer end gear...im not talking Temu crap just good solid start of equipment that works...Hope your break with new baby going well.

[zeph]

Hi dude, I discovered you a couple days ago and I really love your videos. Can you make a video with the Alton Swag ?

[Blanche_Gale]

Very meaningful video, amazing quality💝💝

[Bryan-rzzg]

Nice video - I was hoping to see your fishing gear setup and pack raft loadout. Maybe you can do another video on that

[hazard]

Thanks for some great ideas! When are we going to get the troopy mod videos?

[captxcountry]

Nice! Don't you use a Hyperlite bag as well? I have the Hyperlight Southwest pack & love it! Excellent for Packrafting trips too :)

[eyeofthetiger]

G'day Scotty, gotta say mate, I've noticed a few haters in the comments, (there always are lol), because you've acquired some more expensive kit over the years. To those I say f*ck ya because have you done the work, carried the extra gear and taken the time to make awesome vids, nope thought not, myself included.
If you're gonna criticise at all, at least have a logical basis to do so.
Cheers Duke.

Parabéns pelos equipamentos, muito bons

[Max-lfbr]

Cracker of a video as per usual Scotty!
