Since a few people wanted the older “Favorite Gear” to remain public as a frame of reference for how my gear preferences have changed over the years, I’ve re-listed the old video, but changed the name so people don’t mistake it for current information. Old Favorites Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mAcUwmcaSk (Zpacks Sleeping bag, NeoAir Xlite, and Moment Macro lens)

On my PCT thru-hike I used the Hyperlite Mountain Gear Southwest 3400 pack for about the first half and the Zpacks Arc Haul the second half. Since I ended up with over 1,000 miles with each pack I wanted to let y'all know which one I preferred and why.

Hey y'all! Whenever I take a zero I try to do a Live Q&A on Patreon that usually lasts 1.5 to 2 hours. Sometimes we edit them down afterwards and post some of the questions on here in case some of y'all who aren't on Patreon have some of the same questions. These questions are from some of the Q&As earlier in the trail that we didn't post to Youtube, and I hope y'all find the information here useful/interesting! Here are all the topics/questions discussed and the time stamps, so go through and find something that interests you!

Hey y'all! Since Christmas fell on a Wednesday this year, we've decided to do something a little different than the type of videos we normally post. The summer after completing the Appalachian Trail I found Fancy in the trash behind my house, and she's always been an anxious, skittish dog. This past summer I took her backpacking on parts of the Pacific Crest Trail and she did an amazing job! Fancy never ceases to make me laugh, so I hope some of this footage of her can spread a little joy into your homes this Christmas. Thank y'all so much for following along with me over the years, and we'll be back to regularly scheduled videos next week
