  1. Click that dislike button twice πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Smart man!!

  2. 30l might be your weight limit! But, what’s your budget, sleeping items and food list for a few days on track!?

    My phone, battery, and GPS weight a couple of pounds alone!πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

  3. Thanks for the video! Also, I never heard anyone say to click dislike button twiceβ€”that’s hilarious πŸ˜‚

  4. _here is the summary for this video:_
    1. *Don’t Rush to Buy Gear:* Resist the urge to purchase expensive items immediately (0:36-0:46). Instead, try day-hiking first to ensure you actually enjoy the hobby (2:06-2:11).
    2. *Focus on Lightweight Backpacking:* Frozen emphasizes keeping your “base weight” (the weight of your pack without food, water, or consumables) low to increase your comfort on the trail (1:24-1:43).
    3. *Smart Spending:* Avoid buying unnecessary “backups” or expensive brands when cheaper, more efficient alternatives are available (0:54-1:22). For example, use basic plastic water bottles instead of expensive hydration bladders (2:40-3:01).
    4. *Pack Sizing Strategy:* Purchase your other gear first before selecting a backpack, so you know exactly what size you need (3:27-3:33). He suggests starting with a pack between 48 and 58 liters (4:03-4:07).
    5. *Start Slow:* Plan short day hikes of 4 to 8 miles at a moderate pace (1.5 to 2 mph) to build your fitness level (2:12-2:27).
