Arizona Trail: What Didn't Work and What Did Work For Me

Interesting thoughts on the kit and good luck with the book 📕

I do bikepacking and take a few 10,000 power banks. Not that I will run out but I’ve been on trips when I’ve had my batteries fail on me, but because I take more than one it’s great to have a back up. It also means when I’m charging one, I have one in use if needed.

👍🙂

Sun hoodie is a must. I use it nowadays both for bikepacking and hiking,. Alternative is a merino wool T-shirt with detachable sleeves and a buff. I use both for biking and hiking.

What about a sun hat? Otherwise I would recommend Outdoor Vitals Altitude Sun Hoodie, it is pretty awesome.

Thanks for the new content. Patiently waiting on your next adventure.

Nice video Putt Putt, I was wondering how your Esbit stove worked out for you

Looking forward to your book on the AZ Trail.

Did you ever need to prefilter your water to remove the bigger particles and if so, what was your approach?

Thank you for this run-down! I recently have purchased the Apple 13 mini, but I am wondering if I need to be looking for a USB-C battery bank, or if my current USB battery banks are sufficient. Does your battery bank have a USB-C connection? Also, the tent story was very instructive. I hadn’t thought about pitching a tent on clay soils in the rain until now! Yuck! What a nightmare!

I'm doing a section end of March from the border to Patagonia. I was on the fence about the sunbrella. Now I think I'll leave it.

For backwashing my Sawyer, I use a smartwater bottle with the sport cap. It fits perfectly!

Where'd you get the 1/8 foam pad?
Thanks

Great video. Nice information on the AZT. Well done. New follower here. Crow✌️

Congrats on your new book project! My plan is to hike the AZT next early spring, so I will be looking out for your book. I was wondering about the issue(s) you had with Tarptent Montrail, thanks for covering the gear that performed well and also didn't meet expectations. Great video, see ya in the next one!!

Nice! Thanks for your gear feedback about what worked and what didn't. I love a freestanding tent but the weight...

thanks for info

Got your book on preparing for the AZT. Well done! It is so detailed and will defiantly be my go-to book for the AZT hike. Thank you for all the work you did for us. Cheers!

I just discovered your channel and really enjoy your content!

Excellent! Thanks for doing this...Have you seen the Flex-tail USbc Pump?

Thank you for your video! I just picked up your book as well! I plan to thru hike in the spring and can't wait!
