-- This is the gear loadout video for a full overnight camping bushcraft trip that I did with my dog, Scout out of a backpack. The full trip video will be posted in a few days. I also had a belt knife, on my person, which I didn't show in this video, but I use it in the trip video.
Joe shares a comprehensive gear walkthrough for a summer overnight camping trip with his dog, Scout. Filmed in late August, the video details the specific equipment chosen for hot, buggy weather, ranging from sleeping arrangements and shelter to food, water filtration, and emergency supplies.
Hey guys, Joe here. Thanks for clicking the video.
I'm out on an overnight camping trip.
I'm doing a camp out of my backpack with the dog, obviously.
So I'm going to go over, in this video,
all the gear that I brought for this trip.
And then this will be a separate video.
You can check out the actual trip video right after this,
or before, depending.
There's a mosquito on my lens. I can see him.
Let's dive into the backpack.
So just keep in mind, today is August 29th.
It's a hot day, hot weather, buggy weather, summer.
This is the gear that I'm taking for that on this specific overnighter.
It doesn't even mean that this is what I'll
be bringing all the time or anything like that.
So tonight, I brought it.
The first thing to come off is my sleeping bag.
That's going to come off the bottom straps
on the Scout Pack, the Wildland Scout Pack.
Pardon Scout again.
So this is my Positive 3 Celsius down bag
from Mountain Equipment Co-op.
And inside here, I also have a down pillow.
And this is my Sea to Summit compression sack.
which I have used for years now and absolutely love the thing.
It's getting a little holes here and there,
but she's still holding up good.
And it's no big deal. I'll just replace it when I can't use it anymore.
But I really like it. Lightweight and durable.
There's my down pillow to go with my down sleeping bag.
I moved my straps from the outside two loops to the inside two
because my sleeping bag was kind of short
and I didn't want to have it overhanging.
Oh, I'm getting eaten alive here.
I didn't want it slipping off the side is my point.
So I put it in the middle and then there's no chance of that
So those are all tucked up out of the way. I could roll them
and velcro them together, but I'm leaving tomorrow morning
It's no big deal. I don't mind them like that.
Let's go to the outside pocket. So
outside pocket I've got
First up I've got toilet paper
and hand sanitizer easily available right there just a little bit.
I don't need a lot for tonight
