Packs I Used on the PCT (Zpacks Arc Haul vs Hyperlite Southwest 3400)
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.

I hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2015 and posted 44 Updates on this channel to document it. I figure at this point most people new to my channel may not want to sit through so many episodes, so why not try to make them all fit into one movie?

Hey y'all, I hadn't planned on making a video from our trip to Costa Rica, but I ended up getting so much footage of really cool critters and the landscape I thought some of you might enjoy seeing it. Since I didn't plan to release this I wasn't narrating everything like I normally do, but hopefully this gives you a pretty good idea of what it was like. Still can't go on a proper backpacking trip, but I hope you enjoy this *bonus video!
