Well, I started my climb and if you follow me on social media, you’ll know how it went. I meant to edit 2 videos on the drive out to Colorado, but the source videos didn’t copy to my iPad correctly and so I’ve been eager to get this and another preparation video uploaded for you.
So rewind time in your mind for a moment and pretend it is still the night before I’ve left and am still packing my gear. In this video you can see all of the gear I set out with on the trip. In future videos I’ll review how the gear performed and what I would have changed about my 59 pounds of stuff.
Here is a link to the spreadsheet I used to keep track of all of my gear, its weight, and if I planned on packing it: Gear Weight List
If you’re interested in buying something, please consider using my links below to help support my page and channel. It costs you nothing, but I get a small cut if you use one of my links. I’ve tried to put the gear names and links in the order I show them in the video and noted if the item is no longer available.
