What To Pack For The Kungsleden | Hiking In Scandinavian Lapland

Hey everybody, how's it going? Welcome to another video. I am currently on top of Potato Hill. Never thought I would start a video with that, but it feels good to say it. I am actually on a through hike right now. I'm 17 days in, I've just finished day 17, and I wanted to take the time right now to go through the kit that I am using on the Kungsleden, the Kings Trail, a 460-kilometer trail through Swedish Lapland, most of which is in the Arctic Circle. It has been a phenomenal, phenomenal experience, and actually a dream come true. This is a trail I've wanted to do for many, many years. I'm here in Ammarnäs at the end of stage four. I have one more stage to go, so that's four days left of hiking, and I had some time to kill, so that's why we're here today. I love to do these packing videos. They are rarely too different from the other packing videos, but in between hopefully there'll be some tips and tricks for you guys to pick up and make some notes of if you're looking to do the Kungsleden yourself. So out here in the north of Sweden, and in fact all of Sweden, I'm going to butcher how you say it, but there's allsmansstaten, which is essentially all man's land, all man's freedom to roam the land, to camp where you want, to pick what you want, to just use the land like old-school hunter-gatherers. It's so, so good, and for me it's just made wild camping and the whole hiking experience just extraordinarily liberating. I felt safe. I felt welcome. I have fallen in love with Sweden, and I never want to leave, but autumn is well and truly on its way. I'm right here at the of September now, and I know that I'm quite small in the frame, but I just had to show you the view here. I'm on a new little camera. I'm going to talk about electronics in a little bit, but it's not particularly wide angle, so I had to set you quite far away and me quite far away, so I'm sorry that I can't hold your hand as I look into your eyes, but you can see this fantastic view behind me of the hay meadows around Ammanass where I am right now. So basically my plan today is to unpack my rucksack. This is literally as it is today on this hike. There is rubbish in here. There's chaos in here, but it's authentic, and this channel, Spend More Time in the Wild, is all about authenticity and inspiring and empowering folks to get outside for the benefit of mental and physical health. Now I really believe that adventure is an attitude, so if you can't come and hike the Kungsleden, you can still have an adventure, and maybe, just maybe, something in this video might inspire you to get out and have one for your very own self. Let's start with this rucksack. I love how I'm also on the lower half of the slope, so my rucksack looks like very big. I won't lie, it is quite big. I have just resupplied at the little supermarket in the village, so I've got some really good examples of food here, but basically this rucksack that I'm using is a rucksack that I have used for a couple of years now. Absolutely love it. It is falling apart with the thousands of kilometers that I have been doing, but it is the Zipax Arc Haul Ultra. So the Zipax Arc Haul Ultra. So Zipax did gift me this rucksack to try, particularly because I struggle with chronic pain in my spine and the fascia around my spine, and I sort of reached out to them saying, guys, like I'm trying to get my kit lighter, any chance we could work together and I could play around with some of your rucksacks. So they sent me this one and I flippin' love it. It's completely customizable in a sense of you can pick the right size torso for you, pick the hip belt, yada yada, have a look on their website. This is going to be a little bit difficult because I am on a slope, but this is what has been on my back the entire time. So just before, actually no, never mind, let's do this first. So the rucksack itself, I don't actually remember how many liters it is, I think 45, 55, 50, let's go halfway, something like that. All the links for all the products are in the description below, so you can find all of that out. I might actually have to roll my trousers down because there's a few mosquitoes hanging around, and man have I been eaten by mosquitoes on this trip. Anyway, so the rucksack, it's a roll top, it's a lightweight rucksack, it has the mesh pocket on the front, which as you can see has holes ripped in it for me, and actually that's where I'm going to start right now. So the front pocket here, which is normally one lovely piece of mesh, this is where I store stormy crocs. Now crocs have been needed, there's been one river crossing, otherwise everything has been very well bridged. Bridge in Swedish has been bro, b-r-o, so you see a sign and it's like bro, and you're like yeah bro, boom, fist bump. Anyway, that's a side. So crocs have been helpful, but then also around camp, particularly the middle section from Fickjokk to here has been very wet underfoot, and having wet boots and wandering around camp in wet boots is just never particularly fun, so the crocs have been great for that. Then what I have next is my titanium mug, 400 milliliters, because why would I skimp on muggage? I'm not one of these people who's like 250 milliliters. No, titanium is so light, it'll do. And then in here I have my really cool piece of kit, which is a Cenoc Outdoors collapsible water bottle. It's a very robust, food-safe plastic, and what I like about it is it just collapses and fits into my mug, and that's one liter, and I am going to roll down my trousers now. Please bear with, stand by, cue, what's it called? Cue on hold music, some kind of classical thing. I just feel myself. If there is a mosquito anywhere in this country, it will probably be on me. Right, so my mug and the Cenoc. So the reason why I have the Cenoc, as you're going to see shortly, is basically when it comes to getting water in the evening. I kind of like to get water in the evening that lasts for the morning, so I always have quite a big carrying capacity. So I also have here my one liter Nalgene bottle, is that what they call these? I can't see the logo because it is covered in stickers, including my own, which you will get if you order from my store. So I've got one liter bottle, and then I have here, looks a bit disgusting, a Katadyne B3 water filter. Now out here in Sweden, it's basically suggested you don't need to filter the water, but actually a few days before coming out here, a virus broke out, a gastrointestinal virus, and they had to shut the huts or evacuate at least one of them. And so I filtered the water at the beginning. Anytime I'm around a hut, I filter it, and the last leg, my guidebook actually says to filter some of the water. So a filter is really important. Of course you can boil, but what this means is you can drink on the go. So this is the one liter. The bladder actually has a hole punctured in it, which happened when I was in Italy, but still functions absolutely fine. So these are fantastic. I used to use a Sawyer micro-squeeze, but I find the flow rate through the Katadyne is so much quicker. So that's that. What you can see there is I have one, two, three liters. Okay. And then here on the side, I have my water to go bottle, which is 850. So water to go is a really cool environmental company. They make water bottles, which usually have a filter attached to the lid. I've taken mine off. Very, very robust, lovely, awesome plastic. They started making sort of, I think it's compostable or something like that. But please do have a look at their websites. They do so much to support people where they can't access clean water as well with filters. And I love being able to support them. So my water to go bottle, this is what I drink out of day to day. And then these three liters are what I have at camp. So I don't have to get out of my tent. I'm just really lazy, quite frankly. And it's habit, you know, you just, you never know when you're going to need to carry more water. Rarely do I carry three liters. I do, I did in the Dolomites because there isn't much water around on the Alta Via 1, which I did this year. Check out that video. But I, yeah, it's, I'm a big drinker. Sometimes I drink six, seven, eight liters a day. So this is not excessive for me. Some people will be jaw on the ground, I'm sure, have something to say. Say it, but bear in mind, we're all individual. Now, rather soggily, because I used them last night, I have a Sea to Summit large towel and a Sea to Summit small towel. So the small one I use as a cloth and the large one I use as an actual towel. I wash every single day when I finish a hike. When I say wash, I'll show you later, I have some completely environmentally friendly soap and I will scrub myself down. And what it means is when I get into my sleeping bag, I don't have all the sweat and dirt, A, getting in my sleeping bag, but also clamming up my skin. So my skin can breathe properly at night and therefore I just don't get cold. If I, well, I do get cold, but not as sticky cold, if you know what I mean. If I don't wash, I get sticky cold and I hate it. So they're on the outside just because they are supposedly drying. It's not very dry air right now, but that's the theory. Then I have plastic bags galore and they have actually come helpful, proved helpful rather with shopping and also with rubbish. So this is literally a bag of rubbish. Here on the Kungsleden, you have to carry your rubbish with you, except used gas canisters, glass and cans. The huts will take those, but there are a couple of stretches where there aren't any huts. So yeah, that's basically just my rubbish from the last few days, which I will dispose of later. This is my Osprey waterproof rain cover, which covers everything. That's half away because I was using it earlier today. Then also stuffed in here, I have my RAB waterproof trousers, which are also very damp. It's been a wet couple of days. Also very muddy actually. Plump them there. I have a woolly hat, which is my favourite black yak hat. So it's yak wool. It dries really quickly. It stays warm when it's wet. Not that I like to get it wet, but I love this hat. I probably should wash it at some point. It's been nearly two years, but still I love this hat. Coming down, this is my loo kit. I ran out of loo roll. That was sad, but normally there's a loo roll in there. That was sad. Was that oversharing? Sorry. Then at the bottom, haven't been needing it now. That's why it's there. Potentially very optimistically, I brought sun cream. Now I did get sunburned and it's funny when you're walking north to south, the second half of the day, the sun is at the strongest. My right side was getting sunburned and my left side was just like, can we have some of that? So I did actually use this, but like two days. Then I have Aven Skin So Soft, which the military have used as a mosquito repellent. It works really well. I like it. You smell nice. It's good for your skin. Only thing I found is it's crystallized. I don't know, you probably can't see that, but it's crystallized. It's very strange. So it's not really very usable. I don't know why it's done that. It's never done that before. And then I have a head net, a smidge head net. It's never been that bad with the mosquitoes, but I have needed it in the past and it's so light, there's no harm in carrying it. I was not sure what to expect. So if in doubt, carry it out. There it is, people. The start of the Kungsliden. I'm mildly overwhelmed. It's the Falraven Classic at the moment. So there's just hundreds of people here, station's much busier than it ever normally is. But most people are in the cafe and I'm going to be walking the opposite direction and this is the beginning of the Kungsliden. Wow. That is absolutely absurd. This is it. This is the archway that we walk through to initiate the beginning of our 450, 60, I don't know, kilometer journey. Right here, with my shadow in the picture, is proof this is not edited or fake in any way. Obisko, Kungsliden. This is the arch. Last few things here. I have a pink trowel, which is a funny story. Coming back from my Mont Blanc summit a few weeks ago, my partner and I stopped off at a beach and we found this pink trowel and I decided that would be my poop trowel. So when you go to the toilet here in the wilderness, you dig a hole, you poop in it and then you cover it over, give it a little pat and walk away rather smugly. And this pink trowel just makes me laugh and reminds me of the beach. So it's nice to have that. I also have in here, haven't needed it, shouldn't have brought it really, but I have actually lent it out to people so should have brought it. This is a platella strap. So every so often my knee hurts and it's basically the tendon over the knee cap and just putting this underneath the knee can really support that and help. So I brought that just in case. Here I have a collapsible rucksack, whoops, which I use actually on the aeroplane for my camera stuff, whatever. Collapsible rucksack, that's an Osprey one. And then last but not least, this is a map. So this is a map that I actually bought at Abisko, where the trail begins. It's a 1 to 50. It's a booklet map. Oh, there's a leaf that I saved. And it's super nice being able to see where you're going, but also in the bigger context. And then alongside this map, I have been using the Cicerone-Kungsleden book to, not to navigate at all, that would be a lie, but to just basically know what's going on, what to expect for the day, the rough kilometre distance I'm hiking, that sort of thing. So those have been my navigational things. And then also on my phone, as usual, is the Hiker app. That's what I've been using. That's Hiker with two I's. So I have a deal with Hiker. I have a deal with Cicerone. What the deal is, is that you can get money off. So check out all of the links of that below. I do everything I can to help break down financial barriers for you guys when it comes to accessing the outdoors. So a lot of these brands, I have personally messaged and forged a partnership so that you can get 10, 15, 20% off. If you're not sure, have a look at my website. Anyway, side pocket. This does not come with the rucksack. This is something you can buy extra and I bought it as extra. I love it because it's essentially where I keep my day snacks and it stops me going into my snack bag and eating more than I should. I mean, it happens, but yeah, it serves me very well. So in here then, I have, this probably seems a bit weird, but I have a waterproof case for my phone. So I have a Samsung S22. It's brand new. It's not brand new. It doesn't look brand new, but it's new to me. My last phone died because water got in the port when it rained. And I'm a bit paranoid about phones actually. I don't seem to have much luck with them. So I bought this case and I have used it a couple of days on this hike where it's been rainy. I just put the phone in there and I know it's protected. I know water is not going to get in and it's not going to go, you can't charge your phone because there's water in the port. And then I'm like, but there is no water. So that completely avoids that problem. So waterproof case, it weighs next to nothing. It's pure plastic, really bad for the environment, but great for my phone. And then actually this is one of my favourite little nifty hacks. So this is a key diet flavouring thing. I don't even know what I'd even just said, but that's what it says on it. Essentially it's orange twist. It's powdered cordial that essentially I add to my water. And when I'm not feeling like drinking, it's a really great way to get liquid in. Oh, I absolutely love it. I buy it and I use it for every single hike. This was a long hike, so I brought the whole shenanigan. That's what that is. Then next, next, next, I have this homemade little pot thing. So in here, you know how you can buy those nicotine pouches that you put in your mouth. This is the same, but for caffeine, they're mint flavour. You can buy them in Germany. I've never seen them in the UK and I just put them in a little pot. But with my migraines that I get because of my chronic pain, having caffeine in the morning can really help to prevent migraines later in the day. And yeah, I just carry these on me in an emergency. So if for some reason I can't have coffee or whatever, then I have some little caffeine pouches. And then additionally, just a couple of snacks that I haven't eaten today, flapjack and some sesame bars. You'll hear more about the food that I eat on the trail later. And last but not least, some fingerless gloves, which I actually thought I'd lost. So I'm really glad to have just found those. Strange, I did look in there, but I guess I didn't look hard enough. Right, let's get to the actual rucksack. So on the right hand side or the left hand side, depending on how you're looking at it, this is where I keep my tripod, which you guys are stood on top of, and my collapsible trekking poles. They're carbon. I don't know how heavy they are, but they're part of the carbon black series. Not that that means anything to me. It just says that on there. I'm really not a gear person anymore. I love what I have. It works. And that's kind of that. So see, there's quite a lot of stuff that fits in this front pocket. I mean, plastic bags are quite collapsible, but yeah, it's a chunk of stuff really. So main compartment, let's get in there. All right. Well, now we've got a view. Oh my gosh. That is spectacular. And the colors of the trees. Look at this. Oh, in fact, even looking back is, oh my word. Oh, amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Okay. So it's got this nice strap that goes over the top, which is great because I tend to put my coat under there if it's a bit wet. So it doesn't go into the actual rucksack, except today. So this is my waterproof. This is the third one of these that I've had. It's a mountain equipment, the hotsie jacket. It's actually quite damp. That's that. Size small. Love the red. Probably will continue to get those for a long time unless another brand comes along and shows me another one that's great. As I say, this is exactly how my rucksack is packed. So I'm not hiding away from anything here. Next up, I have my two little mascots that I've carried the whole way. So this is Apricot, my little dog that you've probably seen on some hikes. And this is Ku. If you've the West Harlem Way video, you'll know how significant Ku is and how he came into my life. So these guys, I brought both. I don't normally bring both, but it's such a long trip. I needed soft therapy. I have no shame in the fact that I need soft therapy. They have come along the entire way. They're not particularly heavy, obviously an extreme luxury. I told you I'm not a lightweight through hiker. I'm a comfort functional through hiker. I'm willing to put the work in. So next up is essentially a series of dry bags. So this big boy here, this is my clothes. So basically what I've got is a really lightweight pair of montane trousers, which I sleep in. Those are great. They're so comfortable. When I get in them at the end of the day, it's like, oh, life's good. I have my fantastic Norwegian wool jumper, which again, I pretty much only sleep in. Unhook that. And then in here, because I took them off together today, I've got mountain equipment, merino wool top that I also sleep in. So essentially, essentially those are my pyjamas. The wool is really only for the daytime in an absolute emergency. I said this hill situation was going to be a bit of a problem. But I love this because it's got an inbuilt balaclava and thumb loops. So you really can lock yourself away in that. Also, the colors are pretty, pretty sexy if you ask me. And I've got an eye mask. I use that every single night. When I started, there was still midnight sun. So it was light all night. But it also just really helps me relax when I'm traveling to use an eye mask. So that is that. I've got some boxes. I have a sleeveless top and a pair of shorts. Very, very loud lorry going past some distance away. It's at least a kilometer away. So these are what I traveled in. Basically, I get really hot in airports. So just some really light shorts and the top. And then essentially, a couple pairs of socks and some more underwear, which I haven't worn. One pair of socks was my spare hiking socks. I haven't used them. And then these are my sleeping socks. So yeah, that's my clothing. Nice and easy. Is clothing a word? I don't know. It is now. Because I'm doing this on the trail, I have to pack everything away. So you also have to watch that whilst I unpack things. Just going to make my life a little bit easier once the camera is off. So that's my clothing. Up next is probably the heaviest thing of all in my rucksack. And that's my power electronics dry bag. So as you can see, it's a much more robust dry bag to the others. So that in itself is heavier, but sometimes the condensation is so bad in my tent that it gets wet in there. And this was wet this morning, actually. So thankfully, it worked. So in here, first up, I have my portable power bank. I actually have two power banks, which was foolish of me. I didn't need both of them. So this one is an Anker to 20,100. Numbers are not my strong point. And the one that's currently plugged into my microphone, which just went off, so I had to plug it in, is I think about 13,000. And I also have a lot of cables and stuff. And, you know, this really is where I feel the weight as a filmmaker rather than just a normal hiker, because I can't lose power of all my batteries. That would be a disaster. Then I can't film, and then there's no project. So lots of power. That normally has my microphones in. I'm currently using them. I have this super cool travel adapter where you can put UK, EU, USA, Australia. It's got four USB ports and a USB-C. Love this because it does everything you need. Next up is my Zolio device. So Zolio gifted this to me. We had a meeting in Manchester, which was super cool learning about it. Previously, I did use a Garmin inReach, but I found the Zolio to be so great. It connects to my phone. I can send messages. There's medical support on there. There's obviously the SOS button. I don't think I learned to use the Garmin to its full capacity, so I can't say I can fairly compare them right now. But this thing's so light and great. And it's... the magpies are having a go. It's so nice to be able to send messages to my loved ones and my location at the end of the day where there's been no service. Charger for my Sony. These are just batteries for my Sony and my GoPro. Charger for my GoPro. Tiny piece of glue, which I had to buy because I've got this new camera, as I said, and many problems. What can I say? I need to get another camera. I have a spare phone. So not only have I killed a phone with water, I have set off on a hike in a no-service area, and within 20 minutes of the person dropping me off, I've dropped my phone, smashed it, and not been able to contact anyone to say, problem. So I always carry a spare phone now as well. But the pro of that is I use that as my audio book and music thingy-ma-bob so that I can save my phone's battery. And then honestly, it's just spare camera stuff. You don't need to see all that. That's just boring. But let's talk about camera stuff then. So I film all of my point and shoot things where I'm talking to you guys, other than like this, on my GoPro. So I have a GoPro Hero 8. It's got a little wind muff on it. I've put a hand strap on because I'm sick of falling in the ocean or something like that. So it's always attached to me. So that's what I've been filming on there. I filmed a little bit on my phone, which I already showed you, is the Samsung S22. And then in this Atompax Roo thingy-ma-bob, hip bag, I've been keeping my Sony. So I've bought a new Sony camera for this hike, which we're colleagues, we're not friends. I'm interested to see how the quality has come out, but it's a Sony XR100 or RX100. Oh God, I can't remember. I bought it literally 12 hours before leaving for this trip because I really was umming and ahhing about the weight of my normal Sony that I shoot on. I thought this one's so little and it's got a good zoom. It's not very wide angle and you can't attach a polarizer. And that's the glue and whatever. It's been a journey. You'll see that in the documentary. But yeah, I love this Atompax Roo. They basically make these hip pocket things out of all of the off cuts that they have left from their lightweight rucksacks. So it's super, super cool. I've loved using that. That's been great. Okay, moving on from the electronics. It's stressing me out a little bit. What else do I have in here? Okay, this is the classic. You see this everywhere. It's my somewhat greener than it used to be because I washed it. Actually, well, I did wash it once, but my partner also insisted it was washed. So she gets some credit, I suppose. All right, before I go any further, here's a few things that I forgot to mention when I was pressed for time recording live in situ on the trail. Boots. The walking boots that I have used for many, many years now are the La Sportiva TX4 Mid Gore-Tex walking boots. They have Gore-Tex lining. I find them really, really comfortable. They're a nice wide toe box for my feet. So I have lots of movement. I'm somebody that wears barefoot boots a lot. These are not barefoot boots, but they're very nice compromise. So boots. Absolutely love these. Next up is my Montaigne Terra pants. I could go on about these trousers forever. I live in them. I climb in them. I walk in them. They are just my skin, basically, but they're super, super comfortable. They dry really quickly. And as you can see, I often roll them up to act as shorts and then I can roll them down when I need a little bit of extra insulation. They have vents on the side. They've got a security pocket on the right hand side. They're just so light and so, so comfortable. So that's Montaigne Terra pants. Next up is my Rab Borealis jacket. That's this flashy orange jacket that I wear usually around my waist, if not actually on my body for insulation. It's a windproof rather than a waterproof and it has two zips on the front, which helps with ventilation. But I often find that I put it on and off as the wind picks up and dies down. And when I don't need it, I tie it around my waist and it just helps to hold my rucksack up a little bit higher. This is, again, a piece of equipment I take with me on every single walk that I do, whether day walk or backpacking. It's a fantastic jacket and it fits really nicely. So the final thing for me to mention, and how could I not, is my Stay Wild t-shirt. This is my very own branded t-shirt. It's made of wicking and recycled material. Really does not hold any odour. I wore the same shirt for the entire trip. I just rinsed it a couple of times in the showers when I was back in civilisation. But I love these shirts, not just because they represent spend more time in the wild and everything I'm on a mission to do, but because the message of Stay Wild resonates with so many people and is a fantastic conversation starter. So if you'd like to get your own, you can head to my store at spendmortimeinthewild.co.uk forward slash store. Food bag! Good. Actually, this is the heaviest thing in my rucksack. Food on this trip has been interesting. So obviously you can't carry 21 days of food, but there have been lots of places to resupply on average every four days. So what have I been living off? Let's just get down to it. If you're interested to learn more about food and frequently asked questions, tips and tricks of the Kungsleden, make sure you check out that video. I'm going to try not to drop too many of them in here, just get to the point of what I'm actually carrying. So I just said I've just resupplied in Ammonas. So they had a pick and mix nut section. So this bag is just full of mixed nuts. Freaking macadamia in there. I love macadamia. Happy days. A brand new, really heavy fruit muesli. I always try and eat as much as I can the day that I leave a settlement so that I carry less. I've been living off these, which are Adventure Foods ration packs. This veggie couscous is my favourite. 600 calories. They cost a lot. People think they're an extravagance. They are an extravagance, but my argument is that they're light, they're high calorie and they're scientifically developed to offer you what you need for recovery. It's not like just having 250 grams of pasta with some powdered tomato. It's just these are actually going to help you nutritionally. And for me, that's why they're worth the investment, particularly as I'm kind of a long distance athlete. So I need to keep my body going. Having said that, this is the last trip of the year. So swings and roundabouts. I've got some coffee. Absolutely essential. What else? Just random stuff in here, to be honest. I've got some milk powder that's almost used up. Multivitamins from Lidl's that I have every day because I like them mostly. They're a bit of a problem, to be honest. I really like them. And then my favourite thing, actually. So I've carried these the whole way. Almost one for every day. So credit where it's due. I think I'm due credit. These, my friends, are outdoor provisions. So they are nut butters. So all natural nut butter energy. So I've got peanuts, almonds and raspberry. There's coffee ones. There's salted cashew or whatever it is. But there's 100% compostable packaging. You can also buy their tubs, which is in compostable plastic as well. And I love that, man. It's so good. And I wish I brought some tubs, but I ate them all before I came out. So just having one of these tiny little 32 gram packet with 184 grams of calories, super high protein, like 6.7 grams of protein, fats, just again, everything you need when you're on the trail. So I've got still a few of those left tea bags and shenanigans. And then there's just a couple of bars like it's really, really random right now because I'm so close to the end of my hike. What you can't see behind you is a shopping bag, which has things like cinnamon rolls and a few more bars in it that I'm going to try and jam in here later. But I just wanted to show you the staples because, to be honest, those are the main things that I've been eating on this trail. So somehow squeeze all of this back in here. In fact, never mind. I'm running out of space on my SD card, so that's why my speaking rate has increased somewhat. And I'm slowly checking the time. Okay. Spare gas canister. Haven't used it. Oops, that was loud. That's going to end up being donated to somebody. First aid kit, everything in there I know how to use and I have actually used it on my feet. I have a book, which I am reading and I'm almost through. Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty. I reckon this is the most remote place this book has ever ended up. This is all my passport, notes, notebook, all of that shenanigans. It's quite heavy actually, but there we go. I have a Therm-a-Rest Neo Air X but I went for the wide version with my injury. I decided to stuff it and carry a little bit of extra weight to have the wide version. And oh my gosh, the sleep I have been getting is quality. This is my biggest luxury and I absolutely love it. So it's just a Therm-a-Rest, but wider than normal. This is my wash kit, which has all the usual washing things in it. I just wanted to show you the soap. There we go. Life Adventure All Purpose Soap. So it's biodegradable. Yeah, completely suitable for the water. So that's what I've been using, which has been so nice actually. I clean my clothes and everything with it. My hair, it's just all in one. This little dry bag normally has my hat in it, but I needed it this morning. It's got, what else has it got in it? Are you ready? A Spend More Time in the Wild Buff. If you haven't got one, make sure you get one. Again, 100% recycled polyester. Oh, it smells good actually. They basically, they don't take on odors. Love that. Anyway, you can buy them on my store. And some Rab gloves, super nice. Last couple of things. This is my knick-knacks bag, which is also heavier than it should be. So in here I've got my head torch. I've used a few head torches in the last couple of years, and I have gone back to the Petzl Actic because it's been reliable. I've had trouble with the rechargeable ones, so I decided that batteries were a safer option. My Cocoon travel pillow, also super, super nice. Had that for many years. Then I just have random stuff, spare earphones, paracord. I have a little knife. I have a torch again. This is my spare torch. Actually, this is what I call my fear torch. So when I'm scared at night, this is the one I go for because it's so high lumen. And then actually just some random stones because they're mementos, right? So there we go. That's what's in there. As I said, knick-knacks. Last couple of things. So this is my cooking setup, which is just in a wrap bag. I just keep everything together essentially. Now this is the coolest little thing. This is my stove. I think it weighs about 15 grams. It's BRS, and I got it off Amazon. My brother showed me. It's so tiny. It's so powerful. So I love that. And then you've probably seen the video. If you haven't, I've got a video on my cooking setup. I use a Soto River pot, and then there's just lighters and a gas canister in there. I like Soto. I think they're very well made stuff, and this pot has done many, many miles with me and is still going strong. In fact, if I managed to bosh a titanium pot, I think that would be quite impressive in itself, but I haven't. And then last two things or a few things at the bottom. I'll come back to that one. Right at the bottom, because I don't need it until I fly, is a Highlander rucksack transit cover. So everything here goes in this cover when I fly, and that's that. I get through a lot of those. They don't tend to last very long, which sucks. And then right at the bottom here is my Therm-a-Rest Parsec or Parsec sleeping bag, which is yellow. So then everything is yellow inside of my tent, my Therm-a-Rest, and my sleeping bag is yellow. But I love this sleeping bag. It's rated to zero degrees. It's been really nice with the liner, and that's what I have been sleeping in on this trip so far. And then last but not least, out of all of my kit, right on the bottom here, I'm not going to get it out, but this is my Hilleberg Ennen. So it's a 1.1 kilogram tent, one-person tent, hugely spacious, super reliable in whatever weather comes my way. I love it. It's home. Last night, I could have stayed in a shelter. I chose my tent, and it's just fantastic. So there's a lot of stuff here. It looks like a lot of stuff, right? But everything has really, really been dialed in. I have a few luxuries, but I use everything. I've used everything here on this trip. I love it all. It's very well looked after. I clean everything when I go home, and I hope it's given you some ideas. From this, you can take away what my layering systems are, what my cooking systems are, what I've been eating, what I sleep in. It's all here. So I do hope that this has been interesting to watch.
