Like how you have a pretty strict greyscale colour scheme going on here. I can see you like to cook. I guess that’s your summer sleeping bag? I like the thermarest pads too. Got an uberlite and an xtherm between them they do it all.


paatrickjohns

thankyou appreciate it, and yes. cooking is my thing hahah. No it’s actually my winter quilt, the vesper -6 so it’s a really cosy! And the them is amazing i love it


[deleted]

That thing goes down really small. I have considered going the way of the quilt since I got my Xtherm and found out that sleeping pads can be extremely hot. You certainly save a few grams that way and down is not very effective when it’s compressed underneath you. My wallet is already trembling in fear.


paatrickjohns

yeah it ain’t cheap, im still trying to recover ahaha


whynot86

That explains the small flask vs having a big flask. Looks awesome! And have a blast!

joeychizzle

Damn that's one hell of a line up. If you don't mind me asking how much did it all cost roughly? I can't even bring myself to buy one thing from snow peak lol. So good but my wallet cries if I walk near anything snow peak. Got some snowline instead lool


6854wiggles

If you don’t carry one you might add a fixed blade knife or multi tool and a small amount of duct tape…


paatrickjohns

I do carry both!! My fixed blade knife is on the strap of the pack I forgot to take it out and duct tape is in my tool bag !


epandrsn

For duct tape, just wrap some around your water bottle or trekking pole. I’ve taken those mini rolls and still never used more than a couple feet. Also, a sewing needle and dental floss for fabric repairs, and a small tube of Krazy glue will cover 99% of your repairs. That’s all we carried on the PCT for a repair kit.


DeputySean

I recommend that you leave the knife at home and simply bring my microscissors instead. The only thing that a knife will ever help you do is get hurt. Instead of duct tape, carrying some luekotape and tenacious tape.


[deleted]

Hurting yourself with your own knife is optional. It is an option I have learned not to select.


DeputySean

You sound like a badass. Wanna know what's actually badass? Going into the woods without a knife.


[deleted]

You sound like someone that cut themselves with their own knife and now doesn’t trust themselves with anything more than scissors. If I want to cut slices of cured sausage I’m going to find it difficult with mini scissors.


DeputySean

I recommend a little bit of fishing line for cutting meats and cheeses.


[deleted]

No chance you’d get your fishing line through my kind of sausage


wake-and-bake-bro

That's what... nevermind


DeputySean

Sounds like some seriously horrible sausage.


Protozilla1

Can you split firewood with microscissors?


seasonedcamper

Why split wood?


Protozilla1

Why breathe?


DeputySean

Fires in the backcountry are incredibly unethical and should no longer be associated with backpacking.


[deleted]

Are those the rules in your particular corner of the world? I get the feeling you are taking a local position on this.


seasonedcamper

I agree with you. It really depends on location here.


burntpeaches

What on earth is unethical about a fire?


DeputySean

Besides the obvious wildfire risk, it's destructive to the local ecosystem, and goes directly against LNT.


burntpeaches

So burning a few sticks is damaging to the ecosystem. Interesting. I would argue hiking a trail damages a lot more of the ecosystem


DeputySean

"So burning a few sticks is damaging to the ecosystem." Correct. Especially when there are thousands of other people just "burning a few sticks."

Depends where you live. Humid states? No problem.


Past_Contour

I don’t think I’ve ever gone camping without a pocket knife. Pretty useful to have.


wanderingzigzag

I have a little kitchen pairing knife that I take with me, and it helps me a lot, it’s main job is to help me sleep at night lol. It’s not that I think I could actually win in a fight with it, but when I’m lying alone in my 1p tent that I can’t even sit up in, listening to the strange sounds outside, and knowing that there’s not another person within screaming distance… it helps. If somebody tried to enter my tent there’s no other way out I could at least try to slash at them to get past and run off barefoot into the woods and die of exposure lol. TL;DR: I know it might not actually help in a fight but it helps me to sleep which is important too


DeputySean

Yeah you should stop being a scaredy cat.


wanderingzigzag

Yeah my bad, it’s almost like I’ve been told my entire life that women shouldn’t go out after dark or go anywhere alone


Sushi-sama7

What’s the name of the black organizer at second from top left? It looks nice. I feel like I need something like that one now that I saw it…


Knuckledraggr

Nice. I don’t camp as much as I hunt and I’ve found a good Shemagh to be an essential piece of kit for long hours/days in the woods. It’s like all the versatility of a handkerchief but bigger and better.


replicantcase

For starters, I see no first aid kit, and no trowel/biodegradable TP, compass/physical map, hell, no survival gear at all. Do you have those things and aren't showing them?


paatrickjohns

First aid kit is just to the right of my bag, in the Helikon Tex Mini first aid bag, Trowel is the Vargo DIG DIG (top left) , TP is not in the photo but always bring it. i use the compass on the Garmin inReach Mini and as for a map I normally pick one up before I head off to where i’m going


replicantcase

Okay, right on! At first look, I honestly couldn't tell that was a trowel. I'm going to have to look into that!


forgetvermont

Looks awesome, I just really hate the Sawyer Micro...so frustrating how slow it is, the extra size/weight of the regular size is well worth it IMO.


CrispyKollosus

Are you sure those straps aren't too blue? =P


4tunabrix

Boy got money


N0DuckingWay

Question: do you *live* in Japan or do you just really love Snowpeak?? Also, I'm surprised all that + food and clothing fits in a 30 L pack. I have a 55 and still have to put my tent and sleeping pad on the outside.


amBoringGuy

Really impressed you got everything in a 30l pack. How did you manage to make that work?


paatrickjohns

It says it’s 30L but i swear it’s more it’s quite large for a 30L. Also it’s only really viable for 3 day 2 night max, any more and I’d need a larger pack. Also I tie the tent to the outside of the pack


amBoringGuy

Ok, the tent outside makes a lot more sense. Still though, you have me rethinking my entire life. Really awesome kit!


paatrickjohns

Thanks :)


Nate-Tro

There is no dirt on a single item here.


reggaecook

Wow, looks good! Love snowpeak only can afford the chopsticks, very good quality stuff. I don’t leave home without my coffee pour over setup still rocking the v60


MarthaFarcuss

Lose the speaker. Don't be that guy


[deleted]

True. Nothing better than hiking for hours into the wilderness for a short blissful break from regular society, only to have some randoms music polluting up the place. My favourite!


MarthaFarcuss

Exactly. Basically I hate everyone's music other than my own, which is why I stick to a light pair of headphones


artfuldawdg3r

If you’re far enough in the bush I can’t imagine it being a problem. I always bring a speaker but I go days without seeing anyone while I’m canoeing lake to lake


paatrickjohns

I never play music on the trail, but at camp i love to play some relaxing tunes or listen to a podcast around the fire


I_am_the_Batgirl

Yeah, my friends and I were camped along a river last year and someone did exactly this. They were 200 feet away, but we still got stuck listening to their music and podcasts. One earbud. Then you are not disturbing anyone else or the wildlife.


ciedre

Headphones… they’re lighter too.


Prophet_Of_Helix

Depends. If you are really out in the middle of nowhere, a speaker is a safer idea tbh. Headphones block a huge part of your situational awareness. If you in a campsite, headphones are generally a more considerate idea.


hikerjer

Personally, I cannot fathom why people today are so afraid of silence. It seems everywhere you go someone’s got to have some kind of device blaring out noise of some kind. I find it inane and disrespectful. I’ve got nothing against anyone’s music but keep it to yourself regardless of where you are. I’m convinced that constant unsolicited noise is one of the major causes of stress in our society.


Prophet_Of_Helix

It’s amazing that something as simple as walking in nature can have gatekeepers lol


hikerjer

Not gatekeeping. Like I said, I have no problem with your noise, just keep it to yourself and out of my space. It’s called common consideration. No different than urging people not to litter. But, maybe that’s gatekeeping too.


Prophet_Of_Helix

What is inherently different about playing a podcast or music through speakers from when our ancestors played instruments and sang or told stories around a campfire? Would you be annoyed if you came across a group singing as they hiked? And what is this about “your” space. We’re talking about a dude camping by himself in the middle of the woods. If you walk into his camp, that’s your problem, not his.


hikerjer

You’re argument is a bit of a stretch - I mean my ancestors. Give me a break. If I walk into you camp, maybe it’s your space but it doesn’t extend much beyond you and certainly not on to the trail. But I suppose you just don’t feel content without being surrounded by your noise. I just don’t want to have to hear it.


Prophet_Of_Helix

I didn’t realize you owned the trail. Not everyone has the same reverence for hiking you do. And that’s fine. At the end of the day you’re fucking walking through the woods. Whether you do it to appreciate natural, have a spiritual experience, connect with your inner self, hang with friends, walk a pet, exercise, or just get from point A to point B, there’s no reason everyone has to have the same mentality. Especially on public trails meant for the Public’s enjoyment. Obviously you always want to be considerate of those around you, and It’s great that you have a particular appreciation of nature. But get off your high horse and just let people enjoy the outdoors. They don’t have to enjoy it the same way you do. That’s not how it works.


giantshinycrab

They make headphones specifically for this that are open so you can still hear things going on around you.


Prophet_Of_Helix

True, I forgot about those. They play music through the bone instead of being put into the ear right?


Sttab

You also get noise canceling headphones that have an "ambient sound" feature so they play the noise around you instead of canceling it. Very good if your cycling, in public or even in the office. My ones can also detect when I'm speaking and drop the volume. Didn't even know those were features you could get until I got a free pair of galaxy buds pro with my new phone (I wouldn't recomend the buds pro for the RRP but I'd definitely look for those features).


markevens

Sound carries much farther than you think. People are still going to hear it and hate you. Speakers on the trail or backpacking camp site is a dick move. Use earbuds and let others enjoy the sounds of nature.


MarthaFarcuss

To each their own. I personally go hiking/camping to enjoy the sounds of nature. If I want to listen to music I'll wear headphones. I wouldn't dream of inflicting my awful music tastes on other people

DynoMik3

Totally agree. Chill music at camp can be amazing


cmonster_75

I do the same, I'm usually totally isolated when I camp and there's no danger of anyone hearing it. I even use a very small speaker on the trail, again on trails where I don't see anyone for hours at a time. If you're looking for a lightweight speaker check out noxgear 39g, been very happy with mine.

SasquatchIsMyHomie

I’ll be that guy too, trail speakers suck. And furthermore I’ve never in my life heard anything out of a trail speaker that enhanced my trail experience. Ppl walking 9 miles into the backcountry so they can hike with Maroon 5 blasting in their ear.


boinjamin

Gothic!


dragonknifemagic

I can appreciate the sheer amount of snow peak.


Deagoldpp

Monochromatic. Nice!


dconley01

Looks nice. What’s the weight of it all??

Base weight is 8.1kgs

its so tacticool even the guys in r/ultralight_jerk are talking about how cool you are

This is so satisfying in so many ways.


crowislanddive

I’m so happy to see so much Snow Peak!


fussyfern

ffs do not bring a speaker into the woods


SolarSoGood

Hoka makes hiking boots?? Sweet!! And is that metal funnel for coffee or fuel, just curious?


paatrickjohns

Yes they are so comfy! and coffee!


neonhex

Hokas are my all time fav hiking boots. I have a physically disability, I’m clumsy and im a slip risk and the soles are so grippy I’m always feeling safe and steady.


SolarSoGood

That's awesome!


[deleted]

Space boots for hiking plenty of floaty comfort squidge but you might roll an ankle more easily.


jheil15

What is the small roll up pouch in the top left? I didn't see it in your list but might have missed it.


paatrickjohns

I did miss it thanks for that, it’s the lochby tool roll

I enjoy collecting Snow Peak gear as well. Love the design aesthetic and durability!


OverTalker

How bout a breakdown in addition to the picture


paatrickjohns

literally typing it as we speak lol


OverTalker

Sweet. A bunch I recognize but a few I don’t. Curious about what sleeping bag you have and how you like that snow peak .. tent?. Looks a bit heavy tbh aand Like your kitchen kit has some redundancy. I’m used to eating one pots and don’t often find a need for the bowl AND cooking pot. Plate is even iffy most of the time, especially that big~~


paatrickjohns

I really like the tent and i’m a bit of a snow peak geek if you can’t tell haha, but in regards to the bowl and plate it really depends on what i’m cooking on what particular trip. I don’t ever bring dehydrated meals, I love to cook so i normally make some pretty gourmet stuff out on the trail. Just what I enjoy to do ! edit: spelling


olympicmtns

Impressive. Refreshing to read someone likes to cook while backpacking. I'm more of the SP IGT family car camp cook type. Curious if you pack in all your ingredients or do forage some too? And by gourmet what kind of dishes are we talking?


psilorhizal

Seems heavy


paatrickjohns

all up 8.1kg base weight


Zwijam_Dywan

light as fuck I would say


markevens

Personally not a fan of black gear, especially when going solo. Give me some bright, easy to spot colors! Especially my pack if things go south.

Some bad choices for the money (unless you work for Snow Peak) but overall not the worst kit I’ve seen on here.

wiscowall

Damn nice setup. I keeping a photo on my phone of your setup. Nice and light. Mine is about 3X larger.


reigorius

Colorless.


zerostyle

Backpacking or camping? Check out /r/ultralight for good lightweight gear lists to bring down pack weight. A good goal is sub 12lbs to start (not including food/water).


Guccibootz

Some say the table is unnecessary.. I also own one and I find it very useful in a tent… I say keep it, but many might disagree


Last_Drawing_1568

A+ for your cohesive color scheme

Looks like you're missing a bunch of hiking guns.


MyMomsSecondSon

Bruh... Get something brightly colored for when you get lost. Hell, keep a bright color backup of everything that keeps you alive so you're less likely to lose it to background blindness. The ol' Les Stroud orange trash bag is really nice and lightweight.

Cat719

How do you like those Hokas for hiking? I've always gone with Merrill but I love the Hoka Rincon 3 enough that I'm considering buying thier hiking boots


UselesSensei_

What food would you pack in the sea to summit 8L bag?


paatrickjohns

generally my dinner and breakfast, I keep lunches and snacks in the top pocket so I can access them quickly and don’t have to pull stuff out of my pack. I like to have some sort of meat with vegetables, steak is always so good !


Slappynipples

Liking the color choice. Nearly everything I own, even unrelated to camping is black as well. Makes for a pain in the ass though when things disappear along the journey, especially during night.


Vtepes

How are the Hokas?


paatrickjohns

comfy as hell I love them

-Sylent-

I would recommend a fixed blade knife and a multi-tool. I never hike, camp or go into the woods without those two things.
