    Well, it isn’t completely untrue, so I gave him some credit. Put the less-used stuff on the bottom, bring extra water, etc… I mean how hard can it be to stuff a backpack? You put the common sense stuff out there for people like me, and briefly tell why such and such item is included, and why it is packed as such. His video did that, thanks! Constructive criticism: I would have taken a bit more time with the video–seemed a bit harried; he seemed nervous. Painfully abrupt ending, ha ha.

    “then ‘this’”, eh? Sweet!!

    I know my legs would probably fill up my pack pretty well too.

    Plain water?? I like mine laced with horse steroids, unless of course I’ve packed those with the rest of my “knick-knacks.”

    That may be the worst lesson in how to pack a back pack I’ve ever watched. I learned nothing except– stuff all your things into the pack.

    Dunno where he’s hiking, but some places (such as the Whites in NH) you should bring stuff like that because the weather can turn at any moment. Not that I’m defending this idiot.

    Oh man, this guy is a fool. Why is he bringing a jacket, hat and gloves on a sunny day hike? (He’s obviously not backpacking, unless he’s using his keys for a sleeping bag.
