It seems like a bunch of the same questions keep getting brought up in the backpacking megathread, so I thought I'd put together a quick OP on gear. If you've got questions, have recommendations, or just want to brag about that sweet new bivy you just bought, post it here! I'll update the OP with any good insights as we go. The goal here is to provide some decent point of reference for people to make their own informed decisions. This OP is split into sections, so feel free to skip around, or post to ask any questions! Between everyone, there's a lot of great knowledge here. The basics:
Tents & Shelter
Insulation
Water Treatment
Materials
Hammocks
First Aid bringer posted:First aid kit chat: Hypothermia is a real killer. In addition to a basic day kit like in the OP, I carry a cheap survival bivvy bag (one of those plastic/Mylar ones), a waterproof/goretex shell, and a fleece/down jacket everywhere. ASSTASTIC posted:One piece of equipment that always goes into every single med kit I have is a roll of athletic tape. Get GOOD tape (johnson&johnson). If you get a nice gash out on the trail and have bullshit tape in your kit, it won't stick to poo poo if you sweat. I was hiking one time and hit a section of jagged rocks. Tripped on one of the rocks and got a nice gas on my shin. Wasn't horrible enough that I needed stitches, but wasn't fun either. No way a bandaid would be able to close up the wound, but I did have a roll of tape. OSU_Matthew posted:Unless she's taking a backcountry first responder course, realistically there's not a whole lot you can do first aid wise. I bring liquid bandage, alcohol wipe or two and a little bit of gauze for bleeding, ibuprofen for anti inflammation and pain, moleskin patch for blisters, bendryl for allergic reactions, zinc oxide paste for irritation and chafing, a tick key, clippers, tweezers, and some ace wrap for sprains and junk. That's way over prepared in my book. Reviewed: July 2022 Catatron Prime fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Jul 4, 2022 |

Cookwear/Stoves
Stoves by type: Food!
MoldyFrog posted:In terms of what to pack and eat anymore thanks to America's laziness there are tons of cheap "instant" meals open to you if don't mind putting it all together yourself. On the better side so to speak there's places like backpackingpantry and others that have put together quick to make solid meals. meselfs posted:
Random Stuff!
Vendors/Best of Recommendations
Oh, and here's a great link for used gear: https://lwhiker.com/used-gear-search/recent It's an aggregator for all the various used gear marketplaces on the different lightweight forums. Allows you to search everything from one convenient spot. Here’s a really great post about layering for cold and wet weather: Verman posted:That would be my suggestion. 40 degrees can really vary. 40 degrees and sunny might have me wearing a lot less than 40 degrees, rain and 15 mph winds. Everyone is different in how they perceive and regulate temperatures etc. Wearing three leg layers for 40 degrees and strenuous activity seems excessive. Stash the rainwear until you need it otherwise you're going to be soaked even before the rain comes. In general, you will likely start the hike somewhat cool because you will warm up once you start moving and have an extra layer or two in your bag for when you stop/if the weather gets cooler. If you're warm and comfortable at the car in your given layers, you are going to be too warm on the trail and likely will start sweating once you're moving along. I dont wear rainwear unless its raining. It usually doesn't breathe well so I dont wear it unless I have to, especially the pants. Bonus Ultralight Gear Chat! PoorHobo posted:Take what I say with a grain of salt, but I've been looking into some Ultralight stuff for my upcoming PCT Thru. Since the climate is different, my sleep system might not work due to colder nights, and you might want to double up on water filtration due to less people helping out hikers on that trail. That being said, here's what I think for the categories below. (FWIW, I'm 6'4", 25 y/o, 175 lbs so my big and tall decisions should still work in the height range for you) Getting Started - Camping On A Budget RodShaft posted:My advice would be to think about what you have that you can already use, then buy budget gear to fill in the rest. Then figure out what you like and don't, and upgrade to more expensive equipment accordingly. quote="Verman" post="535643525"] This ... is good advice. Basically everything I would've said but I'll give my 2¢ as well. Start out small. Agreed with doing a short distance trail that way you can easily back out etc if needed. I won't lie, I went through a bit of anxiety on my first few trips. You can feel a bit vulnerable being so far away from things in a remote part of the backcountry, far away from help. With time and experience it goes away but some people experience it, others not so much. Overpacking is a big deal. Most beginners worry so much about forgetting things they might need that they bring a lot of extra junk. I'll give a few gear guidance recommendations though. Backpacking is like stripped down camping. You need most of the same systems but in a smaller, lighter package. The more you go, the more you will notice what you need, what you don't. Its nice to keep a list the first few times to keep track of what you used, what you didn't, and what you might want to add. Base weight is the gear needed for a trip minus food and water. Trip length and weather are the biggest variables on your pack weight. Your base weight will be mostly the same for a 2 day as a 7 day trip. Food and water will be what adds the most weight. I would recommend to aim for a 20-30lb base weight, 30-40lb fully loaded pack weight for your first few trips. That includes water/food. Food is a tricky thing as each person will have their preferences. The freeze dried stuff is convenient but expensive and doesn't always taste great. There are some smaller boutique brands making better stuff but its pricey. Things like jerky, tortillas, cheese, dried sausage and cured meats, nuts, dry soup kits, noodles, instant sides like Knorr brands, peanut butter, honey, rice etc are all easy to bring and last without refrigeration. There are trail focused cookbooks to help with eating on trail. Here are the basics: Pack (for 3+ days I would recommend a 60L pack. Its just the right size for most people. Osprey atmos is my absolute favorite I will recommend to everybody) Shelter (tent, tarp, bivvy etc: Usually a 2 person tent under 5 lbs, REI passage 2 is a good entry level backpacking tent, nemo hornet for upgraded option) Sleep (sleeping bag, pad. I generally recommend a 15-20ºF bag under 3lbs if you can. Kelty cosmic 20 down is the go to recommendation. Also love big agnes insulated air pads as they're very plush) Cooking (stove/jet boil, pot/bowl, food, lighter/matches. This is a tough one. MSR pocket rockets are well loved, as are jet boils. Pros and cons with each but its a personal preference) Hydration (water storage (bladder or bottles), water filter for purifying. Bottle or cup for drinking while at camp or mixing drinks) Clothing (pants, undies, socks, base layer, mid layer, outer layer, rain/snow gear if appropriate) I generally bring far fewer clothes nowadays. Darn tough wool socks, exofficio boxer briefs, and one outfit with maybe a shirt or two to change out. I usually wear the same convertible pants for the course of a trip. First aid/toiletry (first aid kit for common injuries, prescription meds, allergy stuff, pepto tablets). This can be as small as a ziplock baggie since you're not doing combat trauma on the trail. Cuts, burns, stings, upset stomach, pain relief and allergy are the most common things to have to deal with. Also look for a pocket sized wilderness first aid guide to keep with it for basic guidance. I look at my first aid kit as a toiletry kit so toilet paper and/or nature wipes, hand sanitizer, soap, chap stick. Navigation (map, compass, gps, beacon if desired). I usually only bring GPS on new trails or places I'm not familiar with. Tools (small knife, paracord, tent pole repair tube, small bit of duct tape, air mattress patches if using one) You don't need a rambo knife to kill a moose or chop down a tree with. Leave the hatchet at home. A small swiss army knife or a single blade knife is most all you need for opening packages, cutting food, cutting cord etc. Lighting (headlamps). Headlamps are the most useful light. Bring a battery bank or spare batteries to keep it going. Lanterns and string lights are okay but a headlamp is a must. This technology is getting so cheap now that you can buy a black diamond or petzl but you can also buy a cheaper amazon no name for insanely cheap. Protection (bugs, sun, sunglasses). Some places are worse than others but play to the area you're going. Small form factor is ideal. Sunglasses are crucial on sunny places without much cover. Hiking poles are one of those things I rarely use on day hikes but I use on my backpacking trips. It saves my knees and hips on long or steep days. Extras These are your creature comforts like a book or kindle, a deck of cards, hammock, chair, battery bank/solar panel, camera gear, coffee making stuff. Every ounce counts and you feel it with every step so you'll need to justify what's worth the added weight. REI rents out most backpacking items so you can try things out before investing. You can easily spend a thousand or more on gear to go backpacking. The great thing is it can mostly be shared with someone else. Each person doesn't need their own tent, stove or water filter. I would recommend trying it before you buy it. Shop used if you can for things like packs and stoves.

Thanks for the great contributions! I'll be adding those to the OP! Question for you guys, I'm thinking about buying a rodent proof sack for storing my food. Normally I either hang a silnylon bag or bring my bear canister, and I haven't had a problem, but this weekend a pony ripped up someone's food bag in the Grayson Highlands so I'm thinking I'd like something a bit more durable but not quite bear canister heavy. I'm torn (wamp womp) between the Ursack Minor and Ratsack... anyone here use either of those, or should I do something else entirely? On the same topic, someone showed me the PCT Hang over the weekend and thought I'd post it here: When you pull on the cord, it just raises the bag up!

ASSTASTIC posted:Holy gently caress, that Ursack costs 80 bucks for a bag? I mean, I get why people use bear cans, but was that dude's bag that the pony got into hung correctly or on the ground? I've always used a stuff sack/silnylon bag to hang my food and 80 bucks sounds a bit too much for a sack. Any reason why its so expensive? Because it's a lightweight bear or rodent canister, so that's worth a pretty penny to people. Plus the fabric is pretty pricey and hard to work with. The guy that got his food bag muched was an idiot and hung it low enough that the pony was able to reach it, 100% his fault. But, I have heard plenty of other horror stories of raccoons and mice so i figured a chew proof bag might be a good preventative measure even though I've been pretty lucky thus far. I don't need their bear sack, just the steel threaded cut resistant bag to stop the local critters. I think I might try that over the ratsak since it's a bit lighter... CopperHound posted:I always scoffed at alcohol stoves, but today I had some denatured alcohol, aluminum cans, and time: Nice! You've got me wanting to bust out my whitebox alcohol stove again, now that it's summer. Only downside to alcohol is that it isn't very efficient in winter, but you can use canister stoves, like this 10$ chineesium Olicamp Ion knockoff stove instead if you want to save weight. That one in particular has been pretty skookum for me, and it's crazy light. So I finally heard back from Lowa, and it looks like I'm going to officially be getting my boots resoled by them, and it's only gonna be 85$! For reference, I had a catastrophic blowout on my trip to Grayson Highlands last weekend: Fortunately I had a pair of chaco sandals with me for camp shoes, (mainly because I saw the foam mid layer starting to blow chunks off the side right before the trip), so I was able to finish the hike no problem. However, I'd really love to get some lighter sandals for camp shoes that I can use as backup hiking sandals if something like this happens again. Someone suggested Xero Sandals to me... anyone have any thoughts or recommendations? The chacos just aren't comfy for long distances, and they're pretty drat heavy.

meselfs posted:seems like a good opportunity to bring up http://www.geartrade.com/ This is awesome, it's going in the OP! Waroduce posted:So I'm going backpacking through Europe for 10 days and I hike ocasionally in Pennsylvabia. I need a bag, and was going to go with the redwing 50l for 100$ off amazon, but my gf is bitching at me for spending that much. Ripstop nylon is ripstop nylon, might be thinner and more susceptible to tearage, or aluminum frame more susceptible to breakage b/c quality control or gauge of the metal. Since you're in Europe and not in the wilderness where you life literally depends on the integrity of your pack, you're probably fine with a chineesium pack. You might also look at old Coleman or jansport packs on fleabay, those brands are pretty skookum for durability on a dime. Kelty might be in your budget as well. Osprey, Gregory, Kelty, Z packs are some of the best ones I see most often. What else do you guys use? ROFLburger posted:I'm going backpacking tomorrow for a few days and I'm wondering if it's uncommon to just not bring a stove? Tons of people don't bring a stove! Just pick food you don't need to heat up. A lot of dehydrated meals will re-hydrate just fine cold, or pack granola bars, jerky, trail mix, peanut butter, tortillas, etc. Heating water over the fire is a tremendous pain in the rear end and I guarantee will not turn out well. One, building a fire takes a lot of time and energy. Two, a cooking fire needs to be hot coals, which takes hours to build up to. Orange flames make for a terrible cooking fire, it's not very hot at all. Lastly, how are you going to suspend your pot over the flames to boil the water? And now your pot is going to get blackened and nasty from the fire. You can try it, but plan for failure. I guarantee that you'll never try it again. Esbit tablets and stoves make a great cheap lightweight alternative fyi Catatron Prime fucked around with this message at 12:35 on May 8, 2017 |

Pennywise the Frown posted:I'm one of those retards who buys tons of gear but never uses it because I never do anything. Like, ever. I always want to go backpacking but I missed some opportunities when I lived by Seattle (just did day hikes) and now I'm back in Wisconsin which I'm not so happy about. In fact, I've never been backpacking despite have a pack that is used to put on my back. I've always just done car camping. None of my friends here have time to go on a trip, nor are they active enough to want to or anything, and I'm determined to get out this year so I guess I'm going to have to go solo. I think there's a really great backpacking trail around lake superior, you might want to Google around and see about that. Sleeping bear dunes in Michigan's UP and Grand Island are both places I would love to visit that might be relatively near your area. Check out meetup.com for any hiking and backpacking groups near you, there are several near me here in Columbus with some pretty great people on there. Also check out regional meetups on the hammock forums to see if there's stuff near you. I've had mixed success convincing friends and co-workers to come out, and even people I used to go with regularly are just flaky, either because they're in a new relationship or for whatever reason... It's tough to convince people that it actually is fun to get outside and experience the world in a whole new way. I swear there's gotta be more people interested in doing this kind of thing since nine out of ten people on social media always list hiking as their favorite activity ever.

Oh poo poo, thanks for the heads up! Pennywise the Frown posted:The patagonia houdini and the marmot precip look kind of nice. That's pretty much what I'm looking for. A lightweight but breathable jacket. I do actually have a Frogg Toggs jacket/pants for emergencies. I guess I'm looking for something for when it's just drizzling on mild days. This is a good start. I wouldn't recommend construction worker gear for hiking, especially Carhart stuff. Most of that is overbuilt for abrasion resistance, and uses some flavor of denim to achieve that. Denim is cotton, and cotton is bad, very very bad. It just absorbs water so you freeze to death in the cold, and never dry out when it's warm. I like my marmot precip shell, I got it pretty cheap at REI because it was a previous year model closeout. Just remember with any waterproof breathable gear, it's breathable only to a theoretical extent. It's all the same kinda material, and you're going to get wet nomatter what, either from your perspiration or the rain. Just dress in layers so you can regulate your body temperature and you'll be good! And remember, sometimes the best time to go hiking is in the rain, don't let inclement weather predictions disrupt your plans. 75% of the time, forecasters are wrong anyways! For ticks, you only get Lyme disease after they start regurgitating into your bloodstream, about 24 hours after latching. So, if you inspect yourself thoroughly after hiking, you can pry them off with a tick key and suffer no harm. They also hate peppermint oil, like the stuff in Dr. Bronner's magic soap--I'd recommend trying bathing with that before you go out of you're really concerned, and wear ankle length hiking pants since that's usually where they latch.

So I was about to buy [http://thetentlab.com/Deuce/DeuceofSpadespage.html]the deuce of spades poop trowel[/url], but then I noticed on their site that they've got a really slick looking tent called the Moonlight Tent. Even though I'm a hammock guy, I kinda want to get a nice tent for places I'm going with other people that may not have great hammock sites and I'm not sure what tents the cool kids are using these days. Anyone heard of or used the moonlight tent? Is it worth the extra pound or two over the Copper Spur or MSR Hubba Hubba? Is there something better I should be looking at?

Bogan King posted:Just use a tarp. That way you can take your hammock tarp setup and if there isn't anything to setup off you can sleep under the stars or tarp if it looks sketchy. This advice applies great here where it never really gets cold so ymmv. That's actually exactly what I did last time I went to Grayson Highlands and was told by the everyone else that there wasn't a hammock spot. So, I brought my tarp and old bivy bag, which actually worked out fine despite it raining the whole weekend, but I figure for the same weight I could just get a small tent and have some more footbox comfort for my sasquatch feet. Mainly I'm looking to paddle the Roanoke here in a few months and they've got little platforms your can rent and pitch a tent on right on the river, so the tarp is a no go there.

God, I hate to keep discussing this topic, but that's not cotton, nor are any of the other desert garb photos posted. Those are typically linen, which is made from flax. Linen is a very loose weave, which is what helps you stay cool. Usually they're also layered with silk, which also has a lot of great thermal, strength, and moisture wicking properties that combine well with the linen to dissipate heat, evaporate moisture, and block the sun. Modest Mouse cover band posted:Anyone have a recommendation for a sub $100 tent? They all about the same? Yup! At that price point they're all essentially the same. It's basically the same Chinese factories sticking a different label on them. Not saying this is bad if you're just looking for a cheap tent, my first tent was a steep and cheap high Sierra or something. I still have it ten years later and loan it out to other people who don't have gear. Mainly you're giving up a bit of durability and weight savings, but nylon is nylon, just a different denier and waterproofing coating. Just make sure you buy a tent with a separate rainfly and ventilation to prevent moisture buildup. In 2017, you should be perfectly fine as the general quality of stuff is way better than ten/fifteen years ago. Main things not to skimp on are your shoes, pack, and sleeping bag. Any of those fail you're screwed or dead. Your tent? Well, you're going to have a miserable night but you're not gonna die, and you might be able to fix the tent temporarily with duct tape.

Picnic Princess posted:If you want to fight about material, you have my blessing to start a thread. Keep it in there. I'm just happy that people are getting out and trying to educate a little bit about different materials and such for anyone that's never considered that there's even a difference. Meselfs and Epitope have a fantastic point that people will buy stuff simply because its expensive and marketed a certain way rather than knowing anything about it or what they actually need, eg that the 3$ performance golf polo from goodwill is the same goddamn thing as the 90$ Actyrex shirt from REI Hiking poles are awesome, especially for rough uphill and downhill! Plus your can really get a good speed boost if you use them correctly and plant them to propel yourself forward. Plus they're awesome for moving briars and poo poo out of your easy on the trail, and feeling out how deep/soft mud and puddles are as you pick your steps in certain places

bongwizzard posted:Other than weight, why should I not use my packraft as a sleeping pad? That's a really clever idea! Let us know how you like it... would it be lumpy and oddly misshapen with random hard plastic knobs, or does it cover you pretty well? Cheesemaster200 posted:Thoughts on Steri-pen? I noticed it wasn't listed in the OP. I have used one on three continents and haven't had any problems with the water it treats yet. So far it is my favorite water treatment. I've never actually tried it myself, but it seems like a really cool idea. My main concern would obviously be batteries, I hate relying on anything technological that could malfunction, but if you just brought a small bottle of aquamira tablets as backup that'd mitigate that concern entirely. The only other thing to remember is that you probably still want to filter water for sediment, like with a bandana or something, and that it obviously doesn't do anything for filtration, only organic stuff. Main thing to keep in mind is that no filters really do much for stuff like heavy metals, so you just want to be aware of the water sources in an area before hand. I know in Zaleski State Park here in Ohio, they actually provide potable water cisterns at all the backpacking sites, because the streams and rivers in the area are polluted with yellowboy, which is acidic mining runoff. Never ever ever drink from a yellow tinted water source, nomatter what kind of filter or treatment you have. I don't know how much of an impact this has had so far, but my new concern is Fracking... has anyone ever heard of there being any backcountry water issues related to fracking?

Terminus posted:The Kelty Trail Ridge is catching my eye for my car camping and maybe light backpacking needs. Kelty makes excellent external frame packs, never tried their tents but I would expect it to be decent, if not a bit on the heavy side. Picnic Princess posted:I'm "backpacking" next Saturday! The campsite is only 2km from the road so it's considered backcountry. But that means we're shopping for a new tent, because our MEC Tarn 3 has a torn fly, bent poles, and broken zipper. The last few car camping trips were interesting to say the least. The poles actually bent in Canyonlands during really intense sustained winds over 3 nights. So at least the story behind that is interesting. As much mountaineering and heavy duty use as you do, you should check out Tentlab's moonlight tent: http://thetentlab.com/MoonLightTents/MoonLightIntro.html It's designed to withstand heavy sustained winds, can be pitched rainfly first, and has a spare backup zipper built in. Never used one, but I stumbled across it when I bought my deuce of spades and it looks pretty skookum! Suspect Bucket posted:Does anyone have swamp camping advice? The trick is outfitting for hot, wet, HUMID conditions. A hundred degrees ain't nothing when it's breezy and dry and evaporation is a thing that happens, but 90°/90℅ is miserable. And that will be in October sometimes. Does anyone have suggestions for surviving a florida expidition without getting malaria (besides 'go in winter')? Here in a month I'll be kayaking down the Roanoke and camping out on swamp platforms, so I'll be in the same boat (pun intended). I'm treating everything with permethrin and wearing long sleeves, and bringing lots of water. I can't think of anything more specific though. ASSTASTIC posted:

So, I finally pulled the trigger... I bought the Blackbird XLC hammock AND a ZPacks Arc Blast! Between the two, I'll be losing three pounds off my back, and the hammock should be more comfortable than the one I made several years ago. Mainly I didn't want to have to gently caress with sewing the mosquito netting on mine and I never finished trimming it down for the hammock, so it'll be nice to have a finished product. Plus I recently went backpacking with a guy that has the Zpack, and it's a pretty skookum looking pack. Plus I love the big hip belt pockets and organization of the pack, it just looks awesome. It's just crazy that it weighs less than half of my Osprey pack and honestly costs about the same. I'm really stoked for both! Catatron Prime fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Jun 6, 2017 |

FogHelmut posted:Hopefullly I'm going to be doing some car camping in the Southern California area. I'm looking for a tent, and/or other gear. Weight isn't much of a concern, though I'm not really looking for anything larger than in the 4-6 person range. Breaking the bank, however, is a concern. I've been looking at Alps Mountaineering and CORE Equipment - something a step up from Coleman stuff, but not anything super high end. Although I read somewhere recently that Coleman was making an effort to improve their quality? Asstastic posted a really good primer on materials below you, but to answer your question, if you're car camping, you can throw all the rules out. The biggest reason nice gear costs so much is because it weighs a lot less and it's just designed for better durability. But if you're not particularly concerned about weight, you could go to walmart and buy a 30$ tent and 20$ sleeping bag/9$ foam pad on amazon and you're all set to sleep outdoors. Coleman/Guandong Province's finest will be perfectly adequate for car camping, because your life does not depend on nice gear, merely your comfort. Hell, for that matter, just get a 10$ inflatable air mattress. That plus a sleeping bag will be perfectly adequate for SoCal summer camping. Bring your cooler for food, and grab a couple folding chairs for the campsite. Heck, grab a cord of firewood for a few bucks from places near your campsite, and a duraflame log for good measure. And don't forget a few cases of beer, though you should always make sure you're bringing cans while camping and never glass. Also bring stuff like frisbees, footballs, and other activities for around the campsite so people aren't sitting there on their phones. A few gallon jugs of water in your trunk would also be a great idea, and a backpack and some water bottles would be great if you wanna do some hiking. And don't forget the smores either... yeah it seems lame, but it really does hit the spot when you're outdoors next to a nice fire. Do your neighbors a favor and leave the portable bluetooth speaker at home though.

Alehkhs posted:Oh yeah, I'm not looking to destroy the pads and then return them. I can definitely understand retailers dropping customers that abuse no-worry returns policies. Oh yeah, no hesitation--inflatable pads are the poo poo. Earlier this year I picked up the REI Flash pad for a trip I couldn't take my hammock on, and holy hell that thing was ridiculously comfortable. As a hammock camper, I'm absolutely shocked at just how great pads have gotten in the last ten years, it's pretty unbelievable. FCKGW posted:Went car camping last weekend and realized the kids novelty sleeping bags don't work at all in 35 degree nights. We were mistakable and came home early. If you're camping in anything that cold forget about any kind of novelty or rectangular sleeping bags, you absolutely must have a mummy style bag with hood, draft collar, etc. And don't forget an insulated sleeping pad, because the ground sucks all the heat out of you like a giant heatsink, the compressed insulation under you doesn't do much good. Even an inflatable air mattress doesn't offer much in the way of insulation on cold nights, you'll need a foam pad or something like that. Another thing you can do to improve tolerance at colder temperatures is to boil some water, throw it in a nalgene and put it into a thick sock, and stick that between your thighs. Basically it'll radiate warmth to your femoral artery, which will pump that warm blood all throughout your body. Since you're car camping, you may look at just getting an adult sleeping bag (depending on how old/fast they're growing) and just fill in or sew up the bottom half or something since you're not worried about weight so much.

FogHelmut posted:Its a question - like should I bother? Is there any advantage over bedding I already have since I'll be using an inflatable bed. Nah, not on a nice summer or fall night. If it's going to around freezing, yeah, you'll definitely want a good mummy bag and something that'll insulate your backside better than an air mattress, but for car camping, just grab your air mattress, some old sheets and pillows, and a blanket from home

Leperflesh posted:Hi backpacking goons. My wife and I are heading up to the Mt Jefferson Wilderness area and/or the surrounding national forests in mid-August (to see the eclipse from a campsite) and "dispersal camping" meaning off-trail, find a spot as you can, because it's gonna be a total madhouse with every hotel room in Oregon booked for months past and people charging hundreds of dollars on air BNB etc. etc. Sawyer is great, it's lightweight, lasts ages, and it does work. The downside is the effort you have to put into squeezing the bag to get water out, which is why I'm nthing having switched to gravity filters. Trade-off is a bit heavier and pricier, but way faster and much easier to filter water. I think you'll like the Sawyer though, and if you don't go very often, it's perfect especially at that price point FYI, those bags can be a pain to fill. I'd grab an aquafina type water bottle, cut off the base, and use that as a scoop to fill the Sawyer bag, and then filter that into your water bottles. I usually like to bring minimum 2L on a trip to start with, and I actually have several empty clan Sawyer bags I can fill with extra water if need be on a trip.

Leperflesh posted:I'm not a micro-ouncer or whatever so any backpacking stove is going to be reasonably lightweight and compact. I'm almost always going to be cooking for two, in 3-season conditions, so not melting snow. Fuel flexibility seems like a good way to ensure future-proofing so I don't have to replace it (again) in ten years, but on the other hand, being over $100 is overkill given how (in)frequently I'll be using it. Pocket Rocket is a time tested and proven canister stove. Only downside is that it's on the heavier side. I particularly love the Olicamp Ion Micro with accompanying pot with heat fins, for an effective stove that weighs less than your shoe laces: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BISS1RM/ref=asc_df_B00BISS1RM5104127/ I've been rocking that pot plus the chineesium 10$ knockoff of that stove for several years now and it's been very good to me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01AKF4USW/ Fyi, you can find these stoves on fleabay for 5-10$ shipped directly from guandong province. They're all the same if you search 25g titanium stove, just different brands and labels slapped on. That Olicamp pot is super worthwhile too if you're upgrading your cooking stuff.

Right now we're working in the Frank Church and Selway Bitterroot Wildernesses in Bitterroot and Nez Perce NFs out of Darby south of Missoula MT but this spring we'll be working out of El Yunque NF in Puerto Rico and possibly out of Virginia this fall (bid decision not made yet).

It's incredible the amount of work and design that go into something that if done properly, nobody will ever know anything was done at all. Gear related question, but I'm looking for a new puffy mid layer kind of jacket for the shoulder seasons. I currently own a wiggys sweater, which is great, but I just want to try something a bit lighter and more compact. Any recommendations? Synthetic would be my preference over down, but I'm not opposed to down if there's a clear hivemind preference.

Crossposting from the purchases thread, but I picked up some new gear Snagged a 30° underquilt from HammockGear (who makes everything right on the other side of town here, which is pretty cool) Apparently the econ line is just made with a new kind of fabric which is a bit cheaper, and with a slightly less fill power down (800 vs 850). The combination of these things saves about a hundred bucks a quilt, while not really sacrificing much of anything. Picked up a new reflective ridgeline with tarp connectors from DutchWare Gear: A new midlayer puffy synthetic jacket: Wound up going with Thermoball, so we'll see how good it is. I really loved my Wiggy's sweater, but I just wanted something longer and with a hood, and down doesn't work well for me as a midlayer. It just gets permeated with sweat and collapses. A BeFree water filter, which will cut down some weight from my current gravity filter without sacrificing flowrate and ease of use: One of the guys I went with on my last trip had one of these, and drat these things are just awesome! Less hassle and squeeze effor than a Sawyer, substantially better flow rate, and much easier to clean. This is what I always wanted the sawyer to be. And some other bits and ends from Dutchware gear like reflective tarp tieouts, new stakes, and possibly my new favorite thing for backpacking, these tiny compressed towels that rehydrate with a few drops of water:

SuicidalSmurf posted:The hammock thread seems a bit cobwebbed, but if anyone's interested there appears to be a big sale on Eno products at backcountryedge.com. I've never heard of the site to be honest, but it was the cheapest result on google when I was looking for a new rain fly and had good luck with a service rep when I ordered the wrong thing. Looks like all their Eno stuff is 20% off. Wasn't even aware we had a hammock thread! That being said, I still wouldn't buy an eno at that price since there's too many other great options out there. If I were to start over from scratch I'd get a Blackbird XLC hammock with some flavor of hex tarp and snakeskins, Dutchware ridgeline, and HammockGear Econ quilts, rather than DIYing and buying basically everything multiple times to get there. The new DutchWare chameleon hammock might also be worth checking out, everything else Dutch does is top notch. I will say, generally speaking, one of the best quality of life backpacking purchases I've made was upgrading my Osprey pack to a Zpacks Arc Haul backpack. Over three pounds off my pack, magically gone forever, for roughly the same goddamn price of the Osprey, and the hip belt pockets are huge and actually functional (unlike the Osprey's tiny too far back hip pockets). Sucks buying the same gear twice, but I have zero regrets.

Leperflesh posted:Excellent explanation Dehydration from diarrhea is absolutely a real concern and people die from that every year. You don't know who or what has been making GBS threads upstream, so why risk it? I carry immodium in my med kit so I don't literally poo poo myself to death. I've actually seen Yellowboy mine runoff near Zaleski, it's literally a yellow tint in what otherwise looks like great water. I also hiked by the remains of an abandoned uncapped gas well in Allegheny, and the whole area reeked of sulphur. No idea what that kind of poo poo is doing to the local water table. For reference, here's one I found at Daniel Boone National Forest: Most popular places where this is an issue will post some sort of warning or provide alternative water.

Loucks posted:I actually am starting over with respect to hammock. I recently felt the urge to spend some time in the Hennessy Expedition hammock I used to stealth camp with before trail races. Between the hammock, blue foam pad, and vintage 1980's US Army-issue down mummy bag the set-up was ridiculously heavy and bulky and I never wanted to walk more than a couple of miles into the woods with it. I was going to get one of the single layer 11' Dutchware netless with ridgeline, a dutchware summer sock, and the hammockgear 20F econ quilt set. Just glancing at the relevant sites puts that whole set up at <5lbs, which seems reasonable for the price. Why the Blackbird XLC? It's basically a much more comfortable hammock, with a built in footbox and shelf so you lay flatter and have some out of the way storage for stuff like a jacket or your phone. I was pretty dismissive of both until I tried it, and it's actually super useful in practice. Plus the included suspension is really easy and works great--just loop around the tree and pull the strap to tighten. To me, it's absolutely worth the extra price premium to just buy the best stuff, otherwise your mentality is always well, if only I had X. If you're looking at Dutchware stuff, the chameleon hammock looks promising. I trust Dutch to be innovative and do stuff right I'd also make sure you always bring a tarp, you never know when it's going to rain, and the Dutch sock isn't very waterproof on it's own

ASSTASTIC posted:Relevant AvE reviewing a MSR water filter: Dang... I was actually hoping for more detail and poo poo being an Ave vid, instead of just talking about the O-rings for half the video Loucks posted:I really ought to do a little more research. I used the blue pad to keep my back/butt from getting cold due to not owning an underquilt (with mixed success), not so much for comfort. I've slept comfortably with just a fleece blanket on warm summer nights. Do people usually use both pad and underquilt? Most people start out with a pad if they've already got one to start with, to save money buying an underquilt. A half inflated pad is a bit more comfy than a foam pad, but if you don't have one, HammockGear.com sells an econ quilt line that just has a new, significantly less expensive but basically similar Ion fabric being the only difference. The main downside to a pad is that it doesn't breathe like a quilt, so it may get damp, and it's just not as comfortable/stable. You usually only use one or the other. A good topquilt and underquilt is definitely a worthwhile investment, and HammockGear sells both for basically half of what I paid for mine several years ago. khysanth posted:Leaving tomorrow for my first solo wilderness backpacking trip in a long time. Just two easy days/nights. Wife meeting me at the end to drive me back home on Sunday. That looks awesome man--have a great time on your trip! If you're going solo, I'd highly recommend bringing a Kindle or a book with you. Also, putting your phone in airplane mode saves 99% of the battery while still allowing you to use it for pictures and whatnot.

I live in the south east (carolinas) and have good proximity to a lot of good places to backpack and being newly divorced...have a lot of time on my hands I'd like to steer into something productive that isn't chasing skirt or hanging out in bars or staying home with the vidja games. Congrats! You bought the right stuff--it's better to just get something OK to get started, and then you can upgrade your gear to something lighter over time as you figure out what you want and need. Don't go too crazy spending upfront. That being said, since you're in a tent, an inflatable pad is ABSOLUTELY worth its weight in gold for comfort. I like my REI flash pad, and the inflator makes a good pillow as well. If you have an REI nearby, try out several inflatable pads with some r-value since half the point of a pad is to protect you from the ground sucking out all your heat through convection, even with a sleeping bag. Light, inflatable pads have gotten really good in the last several years, absolutely worth it for a good nights sleep. If you're in the winter, you can double up pads with a cheap blue closed cell foam pad for extra r-value, but otherwise I'd get an inflatable with something like 3.5-4 to get you through 3 seasons comfortably.

Leperflesh posted:Trip report: A small foam pad works great to make comfy chairs out of rocks and logs. A hammock makes the best camp chair though, and doesn't weigh anything extra if you're using it for your sleeping arrangements Tents these days are awesome for how lightweight they've become. If you want to do ultralight, I use something like this for my hammock (or bivy if I'm on the ground), it's just a Hex Tarp you can string between two trees and a small ground pad to insulate me from the ground on trips I don't bring my hammock because of the group I go with. One of these might work for you: https://sectionhiker.com/twelve-ultralight-tents-and-shelters-part-1/. The REI quarter dome, MSR hubba Hubba, or Copper Spur tents might also interest you. The e-vent bivy only weighs something like a pound if you want to go ultralight. Those kelty external frame packs actually don't weigh hardly any more than most internal packs, plus they haul gear more comfortably, especially if you have a lot of it. If you want any weight savings, and if you're looking for a new pack, skip the Ospreys and other internal frames and buy a Zpacks Arc Haul pack. It's essentially the same price (~300$), but it has much bigger and more useful hip belt pockets, just as much storage and durability with the dyneema fabric, is waterproof, and most importantly, it weighs three pounds less. This is with the caveat that it works best if your pack is under thirty pounds, and weighs no more than 40. But considering you save three pounds for the same drat price point as an Osprey pack, why the hell not? Mine is comfier than my old Osprey Volt 70, only reason I'd use that one again is for winter backpacking where I want to bring a ton of crap. Ditch the paracord--it's crap cord. Some extra cord is handy to have, but there's better stuff out there like Amsteel. Also go through your medkit and get rid of anything you don't know how to use or wouldn't immediately go for in an emergency, and remember any real emergency involves someone else hiking out for help and evacuation. Ounces add up to pounds fast. Ditch the shovel (unless you're building foxholes and trenches). Buy a plastic spade or the Deuce of Spades Only weighs .6 ounces and digs great holes. Everyone always brings way too much food. Just figure out what meals you're going to eat, buy dehydrated meals from Packit Gourmet, and pack a few snacks for in between. People can live weeks without eating, water is substantially more important-you can only live days without it. If you're in popular areas and parks, and let people know where you're going and when you're getting back, you won't get lost for days so long as you pay attention and don't do stupid stuff in unknown areas where nobody knows you're there. Even if you do get lost, so long as someone reports you being missing to a ranger or you register at the trailhead/ranger station, they'll organize search parties and more than likely find you if you don't get back on time. Plus if you keep walking in one direction you'll find a road or something eventually to get you back to civilization. I'm not a big fan of water bladders--they taste awful and leach petroleum byproduct vapor into the water if they get hot, are prone to freezing and puncturing/leaking, and are drat near impossible to adequately clean. Gatorade bottles or wide mouth nalgene are absolutely the way to go. More awkward to carry, but far more reliable and taste a lot better. A buddy of mine used one on a winter backpacking trip, and the hose froze and punctured, leaking all over his sleeping bag. He then tried to dry it by the fire and accidentally ignited the edge of his bag. Some people like them because they're easier to access, especially while biking and stuff, so it's up to you... My experience is that they taste like poo poo over the course of a trip, and disaster prone. A puffy jacket makes a great pillow, and a good midweight puffy is always something I carry except for maybe the hottest month of the year. But even then it's probably because I'm kayak camping instead of backpacking. Camp shoes are an absolute essential in my book, you gotta let your feet air out and dry at the end of the day, plus nobody wants to lace up their shoes or boots to go pee in the middle of the night. I use Xero sandals that I really like, and I see tons of people with Crocs for camp shoes. A dollar pair of flip flops also works great, I just like the Xeros because I can hike in them and I've had a boot sole blow out in the middle of the trip before, and was able to hike out with the chacos I had brought as camp shoes. Congrats for getting started backpacking! You're going through the same growing pains as anybody else--just keep asking questions and always keep re-evaluating your gear to see what you can improve over time or ditch altogether. A lighter pack makes everything much more enjoyable all around.

Leperflesh posted:
Sorry, should have clarified--it's not BPA I'm talking about, just the cheap lovely camelback my girlfriend brought for hiking around Moab last week. I had some gatorade bottles I filled up and threw in my daypack (which worked out great), but her water bladder (which I had rinsed with hot water before filling it and bringing it along) heated up and over the course of the day the water inside became drat near undrinkable from the lining leaching off into the water. The thing tasted like chemical runoff, and even subsequent fills didn't improve the flavor much. It's not any exposure to anything toxic I'm worried about, just the dogshit taste. The whole BPA concern in water bottles is kinda funny though, since the thermal paper used for receipts actually uses the active form of BPA, and frequently handling receipts will actually cause BPA to show up in your bloodstream whereas it's just really not so much an issue on water bottles. I'm sure higher quality bladders don't have this issue, and maybe it was a one-off thing, but it was a truly repugnant experience. Plus I've never had any issues with water bottles rupturing if they freeze, and they take a whole heck of a lot longer to freeze since they have a greater thermal mass that's concentrated in the bottle instead of a narrow exposed neck with weak connections. Winter backpacking is my absolute favorite time to go, and I've been out backpacking down to -7* F and never had any issues with leaky water bottles. Absolutely--Obsessing over kit is one of the best parts. It's incredibly satisfying to find something that just works great out in the backcountry, to just have that feeling that you can take care of yourself. I especially love finding edible plants and fruits, because you can just absolutely feast if you're in the right place and time of the year, like right now with PawPaws. Which speaking of the food, absolutely bring that hot chocolate or s'mores or some other treat with you--it hardly weighs anything and it's an awesome endcap to the day. I usually bring a couple packets of hot chocolate for a nice hot drink before bed in the wintertime I used to cook a lot more but I hate cleaning and sterilizing dishes while backpacking, so I've mostly just switched over to Packit Gourmet because it's a hell of a lot more convenient, and just tastes drat good, especially for freeze dried meals. Plus they have a bunch of meals that you don't even have to boil water for, like the Kickin Chicken Hot Wings Wrap, which just rehydrates with cold water and is loving awesome for a quick and easy lunch. Puffy jackets are hands down the way to go--I just picked up a thermoball hooded jacket, and it's been surprisingly great on the few trips I've taken it on, including my recent one out to Colorado. It even stayed warm in a whole days worth of drenching cold rain, which is about all I could hope for. It's nowhere near as warm as my Wiggy's sweater, but it's a good mid layer or spring/fall jacket. Shachi posted:I'm going to look more into this cumulative R value thing. A cheapish 1.5 R value inflatable for the comfort/small pack size/weight advantages coupled with a decent 20 degree mummy bag seems like it would be ok. Add in a cheap Z-line which I think they are rated at 3 something youd be sitting on a 4 or 5 R value platform no? The downside of course being having to haul a pad in addition to your inflatable. Levitate posted:
Before I switched to hammocks, this is exactly what I did for winter camping. It absolutely sucked though, because the pads kept slip sliding off one another so inevitably a leg or something would wind up with crap insulation or roll off onto the ground, waking me up in the middle of the night to readjust everything. You could probably jerry rig something with velcro, but if I were you I'd rather just buy a good inflatable with R-Value ~3-4 and you'll be good for three seasons without having to gently caress around with multiple mismatched pads. Another thought, someone mentioned Big Agnes earlier, and they have a bag with a pad that slides into a bottom pocket, so you save weight not having worthless bottom insulation on the sleeping bag, and your pad stays under you. Seems like a really clever idea, if I were starting over on the ground, I'd probably go with that honestly. Sleeping outdoors is my favorite part of backpacking, so I'd rather spend a bit extra upfront and be comfortable rather than cold and miserable.

^^thanks Moldy Frog! I'm putting that in the OP blue squares posted:I'm having a tough time finding a good resource online for understanding how to pick a single method of cooking and the types of foods I should prepare and bring for wilderness backpacking. Maybe I need a good YouTube series on backcountry cooking? Anyone know one? Moldy Frog and everyone else have a bunch of really great suggestions--especially the hard cheeses, crackers, and meats. Those absolutely hit the spot and are great to share. Tortillas are awesome because, hey, no dishes-you can eat the plate! And speaking of no dishes, there's a company in India that just blew up on Kickstarter that are making edible spoons, called something like Bakies. My buddy got a bunch on the Kickstarter, and I've tried them and they're actually really awesome! They actually work and don't taste half bad! Sadly they're so backlogged they're only serving the Indian market at the moment. I'm really lazy and I absolutely love Packit Gourmet for awesome dehydrated meals, because all I want to do anymore is boil water. Their recipes are phenomenal, the clean up and trash is easy and self contained because they double bag it, the price is cheaper than mountain house, portions are just right, and the cook in cozy is worth it's weight in gold. Plus! Their recipes require very little water to rehydrate, which is great if water is scarce at camp, and a bunch of them rehydrate with cold water! Zero cooking required for something like a delicious hot wings chicken wrap for lunch. I absolutely cannot recommend these guys highly enough-Packit Gourmet is just tits.

pointsofdata posted:I've always found that I've got such a big appetite when outdoors that this is rarely a problem with boil in the bag type solutions, and if one is not enough rather than making more at the same time it's normally possible to fit an extra meal in. Weirdly enough, I'm a lot less hungry when I backpack, I think because I'm not getting the constant reminders to eat and advertising for delicious looking meals thrown in my face. We actually had a bear rooting around camp last weekend in Dolly Sods, because someone spilled a few bites of their dinner on the ground and didn't bother to clean it up. My buddy awoke to snuffling and snorting right outside his tent, so he blasted an alarm on his phone, and sure enough, when everyone woke up, the ground was dug up right where we all ate and there were paw prints and berry-laden bear scat nearby.
