Tathaniel hikes 30+ miles through the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho with a 16 liter child’s schoolbag, tent, quilt, foam pad, filter and a bag of candy.
This is tongue-in-cheek ultralight jerk material but it’s a genuine reminder that you really don’t need much.
Not carrying any layers means if bad weather rolled in they’d have to setup up their tent — something that isn’t always possible everywhere so it introduces some risk. Also, all that candy and no half-toothbrush in sight 😜

Instead of youtube I tried linking the video through Piped, a privacy-oriented YouTube frontend. Interested in feedback as to how this works for you.
Piped worked great! Please use again.
Man that video was amazingly circlejerk. I’m dying. Though I would have liked a real closeup of all his kit.
Serious though, I spent three days in the Sawtooths last weekend and I would not go without bug spray and a med kit. I got bitten on my eyelid and it swelled up to being half blinded on that side. Oof.

Oh great! I’ve had buffering issues before but it worked better for me today so I thought I’d give it a try.

the thing that made me post it despite the inability to take himself seriously is that he actually took a decent trip and underneath the layers of irony he seemed to more or less know what he was doing. Also, crazy to hear that about John Z, I never would have guessed.

Ouch! What did you use to get the swelling down? And where in the Sawtooths?
It’s a bit shit on mobile tbh. It doesn’t have an app and watching video in a browser is not great on mobile
Fun watch. And I thought I ate a lot of candy.
Even if John Z is going around burning down orphanages, I think he cut ties with Palante at least a couple years ago. Consider your conscience clean.
I have a bit of a sweet tooth so I can relate.
Consider your conscience clean.
Phew!
