    Thanks Fronkey.
    I look at my pack and see there's a ton of work to do.
    They say people "pack to their fears"
    I must be a real scaredy cat :-)

    Also, of all the videos I've watched, this the first time where it's very obvious how much higher the feet are above the head.
    As someone who is prone to cramp I set my hammock up flatter than you although it feel like my feet high, as I'm concerned about the blood leaving my feet and (a) cramp, or(b) cold feet.
    Must try it a little higher and see what happens. As they say HYOH.
    Thanks again

    Take in mind that the stuff I'm carrying works for ME and probably won't work for everyone. The same thing goes with how I hang my hammock. Being comfy and taking what you you need to have fun in the woods is what's important.

    Thanks a lot for watching.

    Good show Fronkey. I always dig see'n other folk's rig. Thats a pretty cool harness for the dog too, I've never seen a padded dog harness before, but then again I don't have a dog so that's not too surprising. Thanks for the tour.
    Good luck,

    Yes! Thanks. Nice to have your own furry furnace as backup.

    The harness is fantastic and worked so well while putting in the miles. Thanks a lot for watching Red.

    Very nice. I think my pack video is too long and not as entertaining. My gear list is still changing. Everytime I see one of these, I have to switch up my gear a little bit to test out something new. I loved it as always. I hope we can run a trip on the Foothills together in the spring. One of these days I'll have some money for travel and make it on the SHT.

    I recently went from a neck knife to a Leatherman CS Style. I like it due to its bigger scissors.

    Ripping out bladder sleave, cutting straps, removing attachment points. I think what we have here is a case of gramweenieosis. It's okay there are support groups for it. And although I may have to dodge trees jumping out to get me and use satelite surveilance to not loose you, I'd go hiking with you any day. I'd even let you carry some of my gear. You know since you have the extra weight to spare.


    Thanks for the peak inside your pack. Been waiting for this video since your trip report videos.

    Honestly, I thought this was the hardest video to make because it is very difficult to make a video like this entertaining and funny without making it really long.
    We will seriously keep in touch on that hike. After I finish my little quest in February I will put that right on the table.

    All that cutting and snipping added up to 4.5 oz. That's like 2 Snickers bars!!!
    If we ever hit the trail I'll for sure carry some of your stuff and give you one of my Snickers.

    Thanks a lot for watching.
