No cooking?
What brand of pack is that? I have a similar UL setup, but my pack looks much bigger, and weighs 12lbs before food and water. You mention electronics; does that include power bank? And no cookware… that would really lighten my load, but how did you cope with no coffee? Did you have any Ktape or moleskin?
No hand sanitizer?
Well done. ✌🏼
so no food the entire 1000 miles?
How is that enough water?
This way, you have to stop a lot to fill up on water with the tablets.
I am really impressed by this ultralight setup. I am still struggling to shave the pounds off.
Maybe you’ve already answered this one but , is your phone your main navigation device and how long does it last you with one small powerbank ? Do you stay overnight at every resupply town to charge all the gear or how does it work.
Maybe my phone battery sucks but i have to charge it everyday and have to carry a ton of powerbanks to stay self sufficient on multi day hikes.
Thanks a ton for sharing your experience and your setup.
No headlamp?
No first aid kit, no hygiene items, no cooking devices, no hat, no warm item of clothing, no flashlight or map. Thats just bad advice
7.25 lbs is 3.288 kg
No stove?
So simple! I appreciate you sharing and the weight
Wow , just a 1000 miles? The A.T is much longer than that … I’ve hiked it
You said it wrong :😐

LOL your a liar
Always put your electronics outside the bag; they love rain and moisture.

what about this one
I use less for 4000 miles. Whimp!
Wow
… how about the other 1190 miles
Where’s Your, GUN.?!
Wandering About Bear, Country, Without Bear Spray, &, Or, A Gun.!
Not Even A Jam-Jar, To Refill, With "Moonshine", I Think, Your Lying.!
👆🙄🤔🏆👏👌
Stove? Fuel? Cookpot?
No cooking equipment?
So you are literally one small cut away from bleeding out, away from civilization with no way to stop it. Got it.
How prevalent would you say Lymes disease is on the trail? Its my only worry of going this year 😂
Are you just free balling or what
No wrspon
Food????
Total crap. No fire starter, No real food. Only athletic shoes? No way you made 1000 miles with a Walmart pack and gear. You are full of fertilizer!!!
What is a smart water bottle
Definitely my #1 bucket list item. One day…
LOL smart water.
Of course it’s easy going on empty stomach!
No knife or multi tool, no first aid kit, no hand sanitizer, no cook kit, no light of any kind, no compass or map, and no lighter. I get being ultra light and trust me I try to get the best gear so my pack weighs nothing. Ur you can’t sacrifice your life for a couple of pounds
Soap? First aid? No? Good luck when it all goes wrong
1975 did the PCT Canada to Mexico no cell phone, no water filter gizmo, made it just fine with a Kelly pack
I have to take two full rolls of TP because I shit like I’m always eating at Taco Bell
Where’s the COFFEEEEEE????
How did you get by carrying such little water?! I needed 3-4 L between water sources when things were a little dry.
So I started making a list of items I’d bring on a thru hike. Would you really not bring a toothbrush, paste, floss?? I’m not going 1000 miles without that. The weight is almost negligible.
The smart water was a subtle flex
Scary that you dont have a first aid kit
Bro mi backpack weights more than ypu whole setup
I would at least carry a headlamp, and a toothbrush. Not to mention, stove, pot, spoon, and maybe some kind of first aid kit?
no hot food or clean teeth for 1000 miles is certainly a choice o_o
Knife cooking stuff and first aide kit bear spray for animals
do u eat, or just fast ?
Seems like a decent gear haul! I love these kinds of video! Good one.
Why do these ultralite backpackers look so sickly?
Minimum half my pack is filled with food!
Especially 1st couple days I’m fresh & strong to carry the load so I’m eating goood! This mofo eating like a hobo or homeless man. 😅
