What's in my Day Hiking Backpack
A lot of people have emailed me asking to do a video on what I carry while hiking and/or backpacking. Since I was on a quick hike today, I took a moment to do a video on what I typically carry on 3-season day hikes in my Osprey Kestrel 32 backpack. A video on what I carry for 3-season backpacking is soon to follow. Sorry about the wind (it gets better).

I see you found a different sheath for the Mora. Care to explain?
Ha ha, glad you caught that Archie. There will be a video coming soon on some cool new sheaths for Moras and they will be available in November. Stay tuned...
I carry a pretty similar setup. I have a North Face soft shell with a GoLite Phantasm rain jacket. Gerber fixed blade knife, first aid kit, Power Bars, headlamp, u-dig-it shovel (never know when you might need one of those!), etc.
Right now I'm using the GoLite Jam, mainly because I picked it up at a real bargain during their warehouse sale this year. The Kestrel looks like a very well designed pack, might have to check that one out.
I haven't used trekking poles yet, although its on my list of things to try out. I meant to take some with me when I went up Grays and Torreys last weekend, but left them on the basement floor!

Nice video, and thanks for sharing. I really want the Talon 33 for a Day / Over night pack. In time.
I noticed the sheath for your knife too. So, do you typically carry it around your neck? I jsut picked up one of the Clippers as well. It is a nice knife. Anyway, I am looking forward to the new video...
Wow, you carry alot of stuff for a day hike!
Stick,
Yes, I have started to carry it around my neck and like it a lot. I'll have a video on the sheath that will explain soon. I'm really excited about it because while I love Mora knives, I'm always disappointed with the sheaths.
Looking forward to the video on the ora sheath.
Jason,
Nice post, thanks for sharing.
The major differences from what I take for day hikes:
The first, since I hike in warm weather, I take no or very little additional clothing. On the other hand, I don't leave home without a cooking set. For day hikes it is usually a alcohol stove based kit.

Anonymous,
Believe me, I'm DYING to do it as these sheaths are pretty damn cool. I'm just waiting for the maker to give me the A-OK. I think you'll like them. To me, they're the perfect solution to the Mora sheath "problem".
I truly awed after read this in view of some quality work and instructive considerations . I just wanna express profound gratitude for the essayist and want you to enjoy all that life has to offer for coming!. https://huntingbootsbrand.com/hunting-boots-brands/
