Luxury backpacking

Is there even such a thing? I?

don't really know like where to start this discussion because this actually was kind of a difficult video for me to

methodically put together because I don't necessarily view very many specific gear items as

Luxury items but we'll try to have the discussion anyway

And the reason that I'm doing this video is my friend Dan Becker. I should check out his channel link down in the description

He tagged me in this luxury backpacking

Challenge video that is going around

Between all of the backpacking channels right now

and I thought why not go ahead and

Take the challenge and see what I can present as my luxury

Backpacking out is because I don't know

I've gotten to the point where I just take what I feel like is necessary for me when I'm out backpacking and

I'm still kind of laughing about it because I literally struggled to decide what I wanted to choose as a luxury

Backpacking item. I've said luxury backpacking about 70 times so far

So luxury backpacking for number 71 there

Okay, let's let's talk about some of the things that I feel like allow me to enjoy my experience in the backcountry a little bit

More and the first thing that I'll talk about is the bivi stick

But we'll generalize this into satellite communication devices in general. I

Have been using this for the past

Month and a half almost two months and I really love having the ability to communicate

with my loved ones my wife in particular while I'm out on the trail and so

At some point when I'm not using the Bibby stick anymore

I'm going to be getting myself and inReach mini and using that as a satellite communication device

I have more or less decided that this is a necessary item to have in my backpacking system

It is in the essence of the definition of a luxury

Definitely a luxury item because it's not 100% necessary

It it's not like a sleeping bag or a sleeping pad or a tent or a shelter

That you need when you're out there to be comfortable safe and protected from the elements. This is a

Insurance device more or less. The next item is something that I just love and adore

Just love the fry bake this is one of the greatest pieces of backpacking gear of all time it

It's never failed me

It's been just a 100% awesome piece of gear and I choose to take this over

just boiling water and rehydrating food, even though I happen to be a

ambassador for a

Freeze-dried meal company peak refuel. I

Still love to cook fresh food. And this allows me to do that in a really convenient manner

And so the fry bake is a luxury item in that way because it's not

necessary, but it adds comfort and convenience to

the type of

Eating and cooking that I like to do out on the trail

Fry baked Alpine in Alpine eight inch deep. This is a killer product. Definitely recommend that

now the last item

Items that I want to talk about that's why I'm standing here

in front of this tent and as well as I've got this backpack is

For me a luxury item also comes down to having something that you are

incredibly psyched about that just enhances your experience because

You are that excited to have that piece of gear in your gear system, and that's how I feel about my waymark

custom 38 litre

Pack this has been a luxury item because it's so personalized to me

That it allows me to have a better experience on the trail

and I think that's what we kind of want to accomplish with this luxury discussion is

that

It allows you to have a better experience. And so definitely this thing carries super comfortable on back

it's a great way for me to shave weight and

it allows me to have a really great time on the trail because of how it's built and just the thought that

one person in Salt Lake City

Made this by hand. It wasn't mass-produced and this is my

baby

So man, I'm weird

But the same thing kind of goes with a really great shelter system if I've got

Something that makes me feel more at home in the backcountry

I'm all for it. And that's how this black diamond highlight is for me and I love love love this tent

so there's my luxury gear items and I want to thank Dan for

Tagging me in this and it's gonna be fun to watch the other channels that produce their luxury

backpacking item videos and I guess I should go ahead and tag to other channels and

See what they come up with and those channels are gonna be Bryce newbold as well as the shell brothers outdoors

Yeah, so those are the two channels that I have

Tagged they're links down in the description as well. Check out all three of those guys

With entering the new year I've set a lot of goals for myself, I want to keep growing

this YouTube channel, I want to get healthier, and be more active and just generally be living

a better life in 2019 than I did last year.

A book I've been listening to lately has been "The Obstacle is the Way" by Ryan Holiday.

Recommended to me by a friend, it's been really helping me to compartmentalize the things

that I can normally stress over by reframing the way that I think about obstacles.

Every challenge brings with it an opportunity to learn something new, or to better yourself

in some way, and much of philosophy aims at helping us recontextualize what we think or

what we feel to turn those obstacles into an opportunity, and I would highly recommend

it to anyone who's been struggling, feeling paralyzed, or otherwise feeling like they're

not in control of their lives.
