I must’ve done something wrong because I threw my frog togs in the first trash can I found when I hiked the ouachita trail.
I have the first 4 items:)
Excellent!

Actually the fastest way to filter drinking water is by using a lifestraw
They are the best sock period.
Bro out here literally talking about the basics
Grayl purifiers are fastest. Agree with the poles, Darn Tough socks, canister stove and Frogg Toggs rain jacket. Get these things! Sawyer is pretty good, too, and much lighter.
I find squeezing a smart water bottle with a sawyer to be super annoying and ineffective with how the water bottle bends when trying to squeeze water out
Why tf you filtering bottled water
My sawyer squeeze is extremely slow and itās only been used once
Frog togs tare to easy for me.
Love that youāre repping a 46 climbs shirt Kyle!!
Iāve upgraded most my gear to UL but I still havenāt switched my stove to canister or my filter to sawyer. I like being able to service my gear on trail, not worry about freezing conditions or elevation and not continuously having to buy fuel canisters.
Wellā¦I was wrongā¦thought you going to say #1 LMNT š
Why do you look so different in this video? Hell, you even sound totally different. Weird.
Check out Silverlight socks. State of the art Socks. Muchbether then DTs
It’s bone dry here for 10 months of the year, everything is a fire hazard – EVERYTHING you suggested just doesn’t apply! That’s what I love about hiking. It’s never the same anywhere else. Here you want 2 pairs of light socks for blisters, low cut shoes as they keep grass seeds out better than boots, lightweight water bottles, mylar blankets for shade (yes, trees are scarce) and eat salted nuts for energy and electroltes – so no stoves!
I had ok luck with the sawyer, but my Katadyn had been way better, way faster, way more convenient
Point 6 makes some good socks also, I put 800+ miles on a pair before they showed any thin spots. Contacted them and they shipped me a new pair.
Danish Endurance socks are so much better by leaps and bounds
folding camp chair!
Darn tough sock are my go-to socks at this point for everything and I usually give them out every Christmas as gifts (but I doubt people realize how cool a $20 pair of socks is)
My Frogg Togg jacket didn’t last a week.
My first set of ātrekking polesā were downhill ski poles. I got some ski poles for a couple bucks from a thrift store that were the correct length for my use. I then removed the snow baskets, and the plastic handles. I then wrapped the top (where the handle is) in handlebar tape meant for the drop bar bicycle handlebars. They worked really well, didnāt weigh much of anything and were extremely durable (I used them for self-arrest glissading with no issue). I did have to bend them back into shape a time or two.
Iām literally wearing those exact darn tough socks right now
The socks, the rest of them you don’t need..or rather you can do better
#1- how have you backpacked without a filter?
#2. Personal preference
#3. Personal preference (personally hate darn tough)
#4. Better stoves for backpacking
#5. Dont buy a frogg toggs for the love of god. They are EMERGENCY rain gear. Its not meant for everyday use. You can get a better jack for just as cheap that packs smaller.
I understand your video but this is all personal preference. As an experienced backpacker youre just labeling basic hiking necessities that have hunderds of varieties.
I have all these things. I feel so smart.
Darn Tough don’t fit me right. Feels small even in size XL (I’m a US size 12). Smartwool fits right.
5 extra magazines .
Mind blown! I thought Kyle hated hiking
Claiming that sawyer filters are the āeasiest and most effectiveā filters is a wild claim. Iād definitely never go for a sawyer filter when brands like katadyn and platypus have much higher flow rates and are much higher quality.
If you love sawyer just say itās because itās cheap. Because thatās the only reason Iād ever use one
Frog toggs can go round for round with any other nice gear tbh. I like their stuff a lot more than many of the boujee options because of how basic they are and how common too. Any Walmart has them and they fit great over any clothing
Those are all good things to buy.
Sorry frog toggs are just not tough enough.
Something against the bear
I wish Sawyers were more available in Canada…it and FroggToggs are on my get asap list, have the others and agree! All great
Where you been the past 15yrs? This is a flashback.
Yay, I have all the basics, to the forest we go!!!!
Great list! Have you tried the Befree filter cap? It’s better than the sawyer in my personal opinion.
I use hollow brand socks, froggs and toggs are super nice, I have yet to get a canister stove I usually pack trail snacks and eat meals at the fires for when I stop to sleep, and trekking poles are a phenomenal investment I agree with this video 100%
Sometimes the most expensive gear isnāt the best gear,I learned that on a few hikes .š
I work outside. Logging and tree work usually deep in the woods. Frogg Toggs have saved the day more times then I could possibly count. They are fairly affordable and will literally keep you bone dry. !!!100% WORTH IT!!!
You save 3 minutes with a canister stove boiling water compared to alcohol. People that like them are the ones who don’t stop and smell the roses, just count the miles.
Sawyer is time consuming get you a Geo pump water purifier
Katadyne Befree is way better!
Sawyer water filters are not the easiest and quickest way to filter your water
100% on the tracking poles and darn tough socks. I mean, how can you mess up with socks? They have a lifetime guarantee.
Say got, āgutā, say gotten, āguttenā, oh boy. Itās aboot to go down.
