The Wells-Lamont gloves are purchased in 3-packs from Costco but Amazon.com is carrying them too. The iPhone rechargeable battery was an accidentally carried item; meant to leave it at home. Several items were carried for testing purposes only. The mini emergency space bag brought for extra warmth if needed, especially if down Mtn Hardware down bag got wet.

“Cutthroat” by Nutnfancy (’Summer Snow’ Actual Pt 5)

admin — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 13:11:08 +0000

Cutthroat is one of my favorite parts in the Summer Snow series. The essence of the whole experience is captured in this “Summer Snow Actual Part 5:” the humor, the peacefulness of this awesome high mountain lake, the serenity of the evening, respect for life, gear talk, and the special time spent with my son LastSuspect. With the wind dying down and sun setting over the mountain, we fish. Time is spent in instruction on spin casting and the techniques needed for this location. Suspect seems to think he’s going to reel in a prize marlin judging by his stance. I had my doubts on our success but I was wrong! We catch a beautiful cutthroat trout which we elect to release since we’d eaten. This process brings drama as I struggle to save this trout’s life from the treble hook (the Leatherman S2 Juice MT saves the day again). The lake comes alive with the trout rising and feeding; many more catches could be possible but we don’t take advantage of it; we use our fish sparingly and hope you do the same. LastSuspect once again weighs in with some “bad air” during tent life which is distressing to me. We are favored by his summary of the trip originally intended only for Nutnfancy family video. Day breaks on day three of the expedition and it’s time to pack up and hike out; always a sad time for us. This was Day Two and Three of our Summer Snow adventure. Thanks for coming along. /////////////// Music: “Hidden Blues” by Pitx used under license

Backpacking System, Extended Stay by Nutnfancy, Part 3

admin — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 03:09:17 +0000

PART 3 of 8:
A detailed review and philosophy about one of Nutnfancys backpacking systems. This system sides with the firepower side of my Mobility vs Firepower thesis i.e. that gear which will provide high capabilities for the given weight and bulk. The gear shown and discussed is designed for establishing a base camp near a high mountain lake about 8 to 15 miles deep into remote and steep Rocky Mountain terrain, at around 10,000 or more elevation. And yes there are still lots of places like this that still exist. This system generally does not represent a good hike through option (ie 10 or so miles hiked each day to different locations) as theres too much weight to be carrying in daily long distance hiking. However if your preference is to bivouac at a remote and secluded area, like Nutnfancy, you may find some new ideas for you here. In this original video series, you will see a selection of Nutnfancys clothing, cooking, water prep and storage, carry, knife and tool, fire making, sleeping, shelter, first aid, nautical (!), rappelling (!), and contingency options. Most of the gear shown has been proven effective for the purposes discussed and every selection is scrutinized for it merits and capabilities for its weight and bulk. Sure this all adds up to a heavy 80+ lb pack but the capabilities that it delivers in the high country will blow all other backpackers systems away (based on decades of real experience) and will provide memorable adventure. Yep, this IS an EIGHT PART series but as you will see there is A LOT to cover and its by request by my faithful subscribers. If youre a hiker, camper, backpacker, or outdoorsman you may find some gear and advice herein thats worthwhile. Its impossible to include every piece of gear and every consideration in the series so there might be a few omissions in the seriesI did the best I could! If the response and comments are good I may make more backpacking gear vids.

Pack Rat’s 10 Essentials (Pick 10 – Part 2)

admin — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:49:09 +0000

PLEASE READ ~ In this video I will discuss the 10 pieces of gear that I consider essential in my kit. This is only my opinion based on my own personal experience. I have made this video as a suggestion only. The gear you choose may differ based on your region/climate, resources in your area, your own skills, etc. Each individual should give this topic some thought and decide for themselves what they consider to be their essentials based on these variables. The actually pieces I show are not meant to be a firm recommendation on any particular model or brand name but rather a suggestion on a category of items. Most of the time I do carry more than these 10 pieces of gear when I go into the wilderness, but this is an attempt to narrow down my kit to just bare essentials. Please feel free to comment. Part 2.
