Hiking Gear

Had to ditch the big towel for a small one, also ditched the headlamp and some food. There should be places to eat and resupply on every day of the trip so I'm really only carrying food for one day in case of emergencys/slow days/what not. Edit: Super happy about critique/feedback Final weigh in at 16,5lbs not including 4,5lbs water weight of the full bladder. submitted by /u/peccatieritvobiscum to r/CampingandHiking [link] [comments]

I‘m collecting gear for a 1000km hike over the span of 30 days. Only now i‘m starting to learn about these Brands for the last couple of weeks. I was a Lifestyle The North Face person till now, but learned that they‘re not quite a reliable Brand. Rather a hit or miss. What Brands do you think are worth the money? My budget isn‘t great, but i‘m willing to spend on the things that can make this hike a great experience instead of a disaster. submitted by /u/Unfair_Temporary8858 to r/hikinggear [link] [comments]

Hi, What’s a hiking gear you’re willing to spend money on? I love photography but not so much love the struggle of hiking. But i do willing to do things to get a beautiful shot, so i do easy and moderate hike occasionally. That’s why i’m always trying to find things that actually would make my hike feel more comfortable? But i’m not that rich either so if i can buy things that are cheap with the same quality then i would prefer that. But if the extra expensive one does bring more comfort then i might prefer that. For example i do feel the difference when i use my osprey 44l carrier bag compared to a cheaper one that i bought from other brands. Right now i’m looking for jackets and a hiking shoes. Some people say decathlon hiking shoes is amazing? But does it compare to other big brands like salomon, or mammut etc? Need advice from you guys! Thank you! submitted by /u/inrlia to r/hikinggear [link] [comments]

A few years ago while on a hike with my wife, she slipped and fell. I was not able to get her up. For those of you who are familiar this took place on the 14er group out of Chicago Basin. So it was stressful. Thankfully another man was able to get her out, but it was hours later and she had been perched on a cliff under the drop site. She has never been upset with me for not being able to help her by myself. We are both avid, experienced hikers but I am not a strong guy and she is a sturdy gal. The fear on her face as she fell is imprinted in my mind and something that will always haunt me. For that split second I thought I would lose her forever. Not being able to help her haunts me. She and I were together at a brewery with some friends. One of them was talking about a trip he planned up Como to the Blanca/Little Bear traverse. We did that one a while back, and I had some advice for him. For absolutely no reason he looked at me and said “Okay, bro, I’m not taking advice from a man who left his wife to rot on Sunlight.” My wife immediately corrected him, but I was stunned. He thought it was hilarious and had a huge grin on his face. I didn’t know what to say, so I just got up to get another drink but ended up going outside. My wife came to find me and asked if I was okay, I was honestly very upset and said I’d like to go. She drove us home. The issue: Our friend was expecting us to drive him home, and I didn’t say anything or tell him I was going. I just left. He texted me “Where the fuck did you go bro” and “Bro why are you ignoring me” and all that. He had to take an Uber home which was expensive. I asked him why he would bring up that accident when he knows how I feel about it. He responded with a bunch of images of emojis pointing and laughing. He said that my hypersensitivity cost him money (he is out of work so that is true). And that I need to nut up and learn to laugh at myself. This is not typical behavior for him. I don't really hang out with guys who do all that "bro" stuff. He has historically been a nice guy. I also would not normally just abandon someone I had promised a ride. Am I the asshole for leaving him without a ride? Writing in an edit: Thank you for the responses, everyone. I did not want to bog down this post with the technical parts of what happened during the descent with my wife. I can carry my wife; that was not the sole issue. There was not a safe way for me to reach her and pull her up from where she was without help, nor to get her from below or the side. The man who came through had additional gear that helped, on top of having more upper body strength. It was the combination, and I apologize for not making that more clear. submitted by /u/GoneWandering2 to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

Hello everyone! As always, thank you for all your comments and votes under my last post about Atraya Berardi- I actually have wonderful news! Atraya was found safe just last week, around 27th-28th of January! I'm so happy she's been found, I hope that she will recieve the care and support she needs right now and that she's doing well :) Today I'd like to bring up another recent disappearance. BACKGROUND Lesner Noe Velasquez Cardenas was 21 when he went missing from Redding, California, USA. Lesner was originally from Honduras, but he grew up in Lake Elsinore before he moved north for college. Lesner used to study at Mount Shasta College, where he was a member of the wrestling team. He also trained as an EMT at the college and wanted to become a first responder. He had only recently recieved his driver's license. Lesner was allegedly terrified of ICE. He had a passport, a driver's license and a school visa, but the mere mention of ICE was enough to "trigger" something in him. Brian Kyncy, father of Lesner's best friend, said that he has a "14-year-old mind", that he was "extremely innocent” and “naive to the extreme". Still, he described him as "one of the good guys” who had "so much to look forward to". DISAPPEARANCE On the 29th of May, Lesner was involved in a rollover vehicle accident after he dodged a deer on Oak Run Road around 10:30 AM. He reported the accident to CHP, but for unknown reasons he left before the authorities arrived. A passerby took a photo of him at the scene, which is the last confirmed image of Lesner. The photo is available online. A woman who knew Lesner gave him a ride to his home in Trudie Trail, a residential area near Redding's Walmart. According to her, he seemed coherent and had no injuries. It's confirmed that Lesner had made it home- the clothes he was wearing during the accident were found at home later by his roommates. A pair of "girl earrings" were found in the pocket of the pants Lesner left behind- earrings that didn't belong to any of his female roommates or other women he associated with. It's unclear why he had them or who did they belong to. Lesner left his home at an unknown time with his hiking gear and boots. At some point after the report of the accident, officers have visited Lesner's apartment, but he wasn't home when they knocked on the door. Lesner was picked up by a cab near Wells Fargo Bank on East Cypress Avenue in Redding at 2:22 PM. After a two-hour ride, the cab dropped him off at the trailhead to Avalanche Gulch- Lesner told the driver that he wanted to beat his friend's time completing the hike, which is straange, as none of his friends were hikers or climbers. Josefina Jiminez, Lesner's friend and roommate, went home to check on him around 3:30 PM, but he wasn't home. A "few hours" after Lesner's accident, Hunter, his best friend, came to check on him as well, but he also didn't see Lesner. Lesner's friends grew concerned when he didn't respond to their messages and calls. His phone last pinged near Mount Shasta, where Avalanche Gulch is located- Josefina drove there the night after Lesner went missing, but didn't find him. The phone has been out of service since that afternoon. Lesner left his cash and wallet at home. The only thing that was missing from home was his passport. It's unclear how he managed to pay for the cab. Lesner was officially reported missing on the 31st of May. The officers started looking for Lesner on the 6th of June, but haven't found any clues. CONCLUSION At the time of his disappearance, Lesner's family wasn't able to join the searches as his mother was suffering from stage four cancer. They have, however, made a statement that they want to find him and that the disappearance is out of character for Lesner. His father and sister said that the only thing keeping them from joining more active search efforts was the poor health of Lesner's mother. Brian Kyncy believes that Lesner might've fled the scene of the accident because he feared the consequences that were far out of proportions for crashing the car. He also theorizes that due to the fear he felt after the crash, Lesner decided to hide in the backcountry to potentially avoid ICE; Lesner's name doesn't show up in any ICE databases, however. Hunter Kyncy has uncovered an odd inconsistency in the timeline. On the 29th, he logged into the FindMyiPhone app on his laptop and saw that Lesner's phone pinged at the base of Mount Shasta at 2:06 PM- 16 minutes before he even got into the taxi. Lesner Noe Velasquez Cardenas was 21 when he went missing. He is a Hispanic man, 5'4" (64 inch / 163 cm) and 145 lbs (66 kg). He has black hair and brown eyes and was unshaven. He has an "anime image" tattooed on his back. If you have any info about Lesner's whereabouts, contact the Redding Police Department at (530) 225-4200 (case number RPD25-006472).

Granted we were 2 people and 2 large dogs dispersed 5 nights with our outdoor hobby gear too, I’m still jealous of this single person setup. submitted by /u/sarcasticb to r/camping [link] [comments]

For whoever saw my last post. I did listen and took a lot of unnecessary stuff anywhere from my large medkit true taking out the tent and the inflatable sleeping bed (I will probably put some back on the second part of my hike where they will be more relevant, although I will need to buy a new much lighter tent) . In the black bag there is my clothes, on the third picture I can see the clothes I will take with me of course one outfit out of it will be on me. next to it there is the electronic bag with power banks and my wallet. In the red bag next to my med kit there is the electrolyte tablets, next to it all of the parts for the Sawyer and it's heads. In the white bag my food . Also in the end I ended up with the osprey aether 65. The weight of the whole gear including the bag is about 12 kg without the water, I will probably will take with me on average of 4 l so about 16 kg for the whole bag ( which I know is on the heaver side) submitted by /u/Shinigami_X to r/hikinggear [link] [comments]

I will go on 2 months hike, and probably will get to a populated area every 3-6 Days I would like any advice on what to take or what I'm doing wrong. recommendation on a backpack size is welcome. I will also take with me 3 shirt s, two pants, hiking boots or hiking runners (depend if I will find good hiking runners), and stuff like toothbrush and toilet paper. The current weight is 10 kg And a volume is roughly 50.2 l Only including what is in the picture (so not including water, food, clothes ...) the trail will be, essentially almost every train except the snowy and ones. submitted by /u/Shinigami_X to r/hikinggear [link] [comments]

I’m leaving in one week and as ready as I’ll ever be. Questions, comments, concerns? Happy Trails! submitted by /u/Excellent-Mongoose47 to r/PacificCrestTrail [link] [comments]

We had an old ikea kallax shelf that someone was throwing away and decided to remove most of the cubes, back it with plywood, and wallpaper it to hang our gear and make a nice display. Thought this subreddit might appreciate it. Added some LEDs from Amazon for the aesthetic. The idea was inspired by another post on Reddit a few years back. submitted by /u/bigheadius to r/CampingandHiking [link] [comments]
