You don't need to buy new advanced gear for your ultralight thruhike. For this multiday jungle hike, we packed light and resourcefully simply with the things we had. We arrived by sailboat, so we could only bring so much. Some of it, like the tent and backpack, had been bought secondhand 1000s of miles before. Other items were just what we had or found. This video is about what Jonatan and I brought on the Waitukubuli National Trail.

What gear should you bring on a twoweek thruhike, hiking, and camping? We go through our backpacks to show you what we brought on our tropical jungle hike where we had sunny, rainy, cold and hot days, and what we (mostly me;)) could have left at home on the Waitukubuli National Trail.

In this video,  @jonatanbjorkman  shares what's in his hiking backpack. He's an advanced thruhiker and has hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, Arizona Trail, Colorado Trail, Kingstrail, Camino de Santiago Ruta Francesa, GR20 Corsica, Annapurna Circuit Nepal and a few more 12 week hikes. He's a nononsense, resourceful packer. He just knows what not to bring which makes his pack ultralight by nature.

In part 2, I go through my pack and what I could have left out ;)
