The sleeping bag I used in February was toasty warm. The mountain warehouse Everest down bag was taken out of its stuff sack one day before I went camping after being in there for ten years.

i use soap and sand

This is bollocks, the plastic splits. A small hard wood square works better.

Don't show him metal sponges - it'll blow his mind off.

brynje are super good, panty too

Thx broo!

12:14 don't use a foam pad, that's an increible amount of weight and bulk over an inflatable one.

what other fetish gear is also functional I wonder?? try hiking in a gimp suit next!

How is that better than my boot? 😂😂😂😂

you can go into berghain with it

I think that sock trick probably varies from person to person. For me it wouldn't work because I tend to sweat a lot, particularly around the chest area.

😂😂😂😂

good lord. guys dont follow every trend. the whole camping backpacking community has lost its mind

Measuring water for a cup of coffee and not just using that cup? Or your brain? You already know roughly what 250ml, 500 ml and 1 l is, bc you use it everyday. I mean, most people do, right? Same way that you know roughly what 1m or 1 kg is. Just life experience.

What a jackwagon.

great video, thanks!

Excellent video! One set of trails you haven't mentioned are the European Long-Distance Paths ("E-Paths"), a set of 12 trans-European trails that cross the whole continent. I've been trying to advocate for them as an alternative to the US long-distance trails, because some of them are truly enormous undertakings (the E1, for example, runs from Nordkapp on the northern coast of Norway all the way south through Scandinavia, Denmark, Germany, down through Italy, and eventually to Sicily, a distance of over 7,000km). I've been gradually hiking the E10 in Germany (it runs from Rügen on the Baltic Sea down into Czechia, then across Austria, then meets the E5 in the Italian Alps), and I can confirm everything you've said about the difficulty of camping on the trail here. "Camping" for Germans seems to mean with a caravan or trailer, and the idea of a through-hiker backpacking through seems almost completely alien. But the trails cover such a wide variety of terrain, across such beautiful landscapes, I really wish more people would hike them. Anyway, thanks again for this video, and please keep advocating for long-distance hiking in Europe.

I use my frogg toggs as an anti slipp mat under my sleeping pad due to it’s rubbery material

Great tip my friend. I carry two extra caps on long hikes. 😊

The most common tent mistake that I'm aware of is using a tent. Pro-campers sleep naked on the ground, just like mother nature intended. : )

I mean packing within your weight limit is a smart way to go hiking camping. But ultra light? Doesn’t that kind of take the difficulty aspect away from hiking? The pride from carrying some decent weight around. Idk man this just seems stupid to me

Which self-inflating pad did you use before? It seems quite compact.

Yes those emergency blankets are a life saver. My wife and I did a school trip for her class and the “nearest” town to reference for forecast was about 1200 feet lower elevation and we were up exposed on a plateau. Temps got about 10-15 degrees below what everyone thought they would be. Instead of a chilly 45° we hovered above freezing. We couldn’t sleep at all cause we were just shivering trying to stay warm and I when I went to set up the car so we can turn it on and run some heat I saw I had an emergency blanket in the car so we put that between our sleeping bag and the quilt blanket we had over top of us. At least kept us warm enough to get some sleep for a few hours

So how Einstein do you explain an unoccupied tarp set up 4 feet from the ground being totally soaked inside and out in the morning ? just repeat what other morons have said .

If it is an overnight trip, I don't take food. If it is a bit longer, I'll bring nuts, seeds, and dried fruit, but I leave all the cooking gear at home. You can typically save a lot of weight and pack space by taking food that doesn't need to be cooked. If the area I am going to has fresh water, I just bring a filter and a water bladder. I also find that hammock systems generally weigh less, take up less pack space, and cost a lot less than a tent.

Just as many others here pointed out already: that language Part is absolutely Not true! Basically every European country teaches english since primary school and gladly talk to you in english. I'm Austrian, for example, and it's quite likely to meet Italian hikers here where we automatically just switch to english. It's really quite common.

I thought wool is supposed to produce friction between Fibre to keep warm?

Hey, thank you for video:) Just a comment about plastic bottles, the problem with PET bottles is that they emit toxic substances at sunlight

I'm using exactly the same shoes! Very happy with them, I have a 3rd pair now and I'm not going to change anything.

Guys do not use hot glue please

Where's that river/stream on 4:13?

My biggest mistake was trying out different sized pee bottles in the supermarket.

dude why you talk about EUROPE and completely miss Central European countries? Like Czech republic and Slovakia have the best trail marking system in whole Europe (it´s not complicated, you cannot get lost there) as well as long distance hikes (in CZ longest trail has 2000km and in Slovakia 770 km). Also Slovakia has around 1200 bears. Worth to mention, don´t get it why u skipped these countries man.

Thanks you. Sooo much good ideas. Bit I would absolutely not recommend to use a grocery store plastic bottle instead of a Nalgene or titanium bottle. Most of them contains bisphenol A that dissolves in the drinking water and is not healthy at all. Use a good bpa free water bottle instead.

Pillowshirt is a great tipp, also the bottle cap tipp and the net thing. But I would absolutely not recommend to use a plastic bottle instead of a Nalgene or titanium bottle. Most of them contains bisphenol A that dissolves in the drinking water and is not healthy at all. Use a good water bottle instead.

ever thought about using steel wool?

bleh. why spend money on something fingernails and pine twigs can do?

Thank you for mentioning the sleeping bag one its annoying how much miss information there is on sleeping naked.

Thank you for this solution

You look like Linus Tent Tips.

LOL - what are you even doing Bro?!

Sweet 🤙

A true ultra light hiker doesn't bring a pot.

Dont forget the lether jeans and cowboy hat Fresh from kiss concert into the mountains

Naked you goin naked in the sleepin bag It works with youre body temp And a bean on youre head The hwad coolin out first so head with hat or beanie warm and naked in No thermo clothes No socks Maybe underwear God damn

I can bet 100 bucks to the most experienced ultralight hiker that he couldnt tell whether there was a sponge or not in his bag and win that bet a sponge is as lightweight as it gets

I put it on a wild animal if i need it i clap and he comes Hi my name is bear grillz

Did you try the penny stove? What are your thoughts about it?

Just take some hot hands with you. Just 1 in your bag will warm you up no end and better than that Nalgene that possibly weighs more than 10 hand warmers.

This is idiotic...
