BIG 3 Update - I REDUCED the WEIGHT with 65%

Hi and welcome!

In this video I am out on a short day hike while talking about the update I made to my Big 3 (or Big 4). I wanted to go lighter so I made the upgrade and exchanged my:

Tent ⛺️
Backpack 🎒
Sleep System (sleeping bag and sleeping pad) 🛌

I’ll talk you through my ideas of the Big 3 and what I wanted to achieve.

By going lighter I believe you can ease on the fatigue, the pain and you can even go further on your backpacking adventures. If you want, you can also add other types of gear to increase your comfort and joy on your adventure. I do for instance add some weight from time to time by bringing a chair!

Video chapters:
00:00-01:11 What the Big 3 is why I wanted to exchange the gear
01:12-03:20 The Tent
03:21-05:53 The Backpack
05:54-07:56 The Sleeping Pad
07:57-10:46 The Sleeping Bag
10:47-12:05 Final results

There are many alternatives to the gear I use. This works for me, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for you. Gear is very individual and should be chosen depending on your specific needs and adventures.

The gear I include in my new Big 3:
