This #short shows how we pack our backpacks for overnight trips and how it all adds up to right around 9 lbs. This is our “generic” list. For specific trips, we often add items such as extra water bottles or we swap out the tarp for a tent, which often makes the total closer to 10 lbs. Our complete gear lists for various trips are available on our website:

Thats less than my backpack for school 😅
I'm curious as to what you hike for? Is it the scenery? The exercise? The adventure? What's your reason?
Your hiking backpacks weigh less than half of what my every day school backpack weighs
Weirdos
What backpacks do you guys use?
What about the drugs?
Where do you put your weed and fishing poles?
no change clothes, lights, water bottle and filters, cookware… I mean my bag for a solo trip can weigh less than 10 lbs this way …. just saying cz I am frustrated cutting weight rn
What is the back pack. They’re using
Great hikers no doubt!!
What bag do you use?
You both need to be carrying bear mace, if not for animals then for people.
And frankly the negligence of all these ultralight hikers with their "first aid kit" bothers me. A dedicated trauma kit with a Tourniquet, hemostatic agent and compression bandage is under 1lb well spent….. Don't need it until you NEED it, but would sure be a damn shame to lose your life partner because u wanted less than 1lb less.
Your mileage may vary so far, but someday you might just regret it.
What backpack should I buy for all of that ? Especially one that can hold my sleeping mat on top .
That’s AMAZING how light you pack! My work pack weighs more than your pack!😬
That looks like a ULA…i don't think they put all their food in their pack
Electronics & food = .9😂
How do you guys avoid attracting bears with your food?
Jesus, my Alpine pack upwards of 60 pounds with climbing and backpacking gear
Ok renee!! Carrying basically just as much as her mans. 💪🏻
Damn that's so light
Day 3.993: what have y’all go to the bottom tip of South America and go to the top tip of (excluding the islands) unless you want to! Maybe even go to Greenland!
Tips for if you don’t have a ultralight tent? I have a Walmart single person because I can’t afford 200+ dollars for an ultralight
I've packed a 55 pound bag for a 4 day trip on some military shit
Yea im packing a 30lbs back just for an overnight trip.
My Bergen and sleeping bag only weigh half of their all stuff😮
tent??????
I want to do this really badly, but I have pets, I’m not sure if it would work with them
What kind of bag is that
Shared weight is a blessing! 😂 Still impressive if one were to carry the tent and cooking pot on their own.
What do you do about predators? It's not like you're here in the UK with all these deadly cows 😂
What do you recommend for starters?
The man wears less kilos than the woman. Shame!
My toxic trait is thinking I can do this
I’d be carrying 20lbs and my wife would slackpack 😂
What is the brand of backpack you used? Is Renee''s a different size than Tim's? TX, I enjoy your adventures and info.
May I ask what type of tent you use? I noticed there are no tent poles and stakes. I’ve been section hiking the AT around work, and my tent, food, and sleeping bag take the most space. My tent is an. REI half dome SL 2 – withstands rain well, and I’m about to store my pack and shoes in it, but I wonder about something lighter (less than 2 lbs) and more compact.
Does the stove ever run out of gas?
still lighter than my school bag😂
