Backpacking Skills Videos

I found these videos at YouTube.

Please look them over.

There is lots of nonsense online, however this is good information.

Each of these are by people who know what they are doing, and like to share with others easier ways to do things.

The first video is Jason Klass, a personable young man who finds ingenious ways to make backpacking more sensible, like being able to wash up.

I hope you enjoyed these videos. I have selected More Backpacking Videos.

I have also selected Backpacking Food Videos about how to pack the food you need.
