Total pack weight 12 kg (including food + water).

Hope this is helpful for you.

Happy hiking….and camping,
Justin.

    Some nice gear there Justin would cost you a small fortune to get lighter than that πŸ‘atb daz

    Nice video man! You’re a pro, everything that you need, nothing that you don’t. Totally agree on the walking poles as well – certain I’d never go back to the twisty ones. Great stuff πŸ€ πŸ‘πŸ»

    Nice kit Justin! Are these Berghaus Pack Lite waterproof trousers? Looks very small when packed indeed. I bought for me Berghaus Deluge and I can’t pack that small. As always – great video!

    Justin I already found the lone peak, sts aeros pillow and the thermarest neo air. You should check out the Vargo dig dig tool.

    I need to look into the trail runners. I struggle with leather boots in summer. I had trail runners but they hurt my feet.. perhaps just wrong type.
    Heheee…but the pillow.. I recently upgraded mine too.. Will talk about it in my new vid πŸ˜‰

    Justin, Thank you. Caps of that series of East Highland Way hike videos nicely. Great set up. Still humming & ha-Ing on boots-v-trail runners myself. In the current hot weather it is almost a no-brainer, but they do say we pack our fears….Thank you again.

    Awesome kit, what is the name of the red jacket you wear?

  14. @SouthWestWildernessScotland on March 30, 2025 at 2:15 am

    Good video Justin, I know exactly what you mean about the scratchy feeling from the cheaper type of pillows. To fix problem? that I used my Buff as a pillow case. I just pulled it over the pillow and it was a good perfect fit. Atb Glenn
