Click that dislike button twice 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Smart man!!
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!😅😅😅
Thanks for the video! Also, I never heard anyone say to click dislike button twice—that’s hilarious 😂
_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).
