About this episode
The video uses an S–D tier list to give my blunt, experience-based take on what’s actually worth prioritizing for hiking and backpacking. I focu on efficiency, safety, comfort, and simplicity, emphasizing how decisions change depending on conditions (like season, terrain, and trip style such as thru-hiking versus more relaxed camping). Throughout, I explains his reasoning in practical terms—what saves time, reduces hassle, improves recovery, and provides redundancy—while pushing back on common assumptions and encouraging viewers to think critically, train appropriately, and choose systems that match their goals.-- S/A/B Tier List Gear I use -- - OnX Backcountry - Go Long Gaiters - Suunto Vertical Watch - Black Diamond Distance Z Trekking Poles - Columbia Sunshirt - Klymit Luxe Pillow
