Hey Guys,

I just finished filming a series on basic hiking gear. Basically I wanted a resource to assist beginners looking for basic information and gear in backpacking and hiking and to give a bit more insight into the cottage industry which basically drives the hiking community into more practical and lightweight backpacking.

The series can be found here:

http://www.youtube.com/user/RaulPere...6B45E5C5EC6E3D (http://www.youtube.com/user/RaulPerez1#grid/user/946B45E5C5EC6E3D)

There are 11 chapters and 19 videos in total

What I would like if if any of you would like me to add a particular cottage industry to the list in my info section of the youtube video just post it here on this thread as to which chapter you would like it to appear and I'll make sure it goes in.

The goal is to provide the beginner with as much resources as possible to make a more informed decision.

Enjoy and keep on hiking,

Your friendly neighborhood water monkey

Good idea Raul. Kind of like what Shug's done for hammocking? I'll definitely check them out.
BTW, I've enjoyed your other vids too. 8-)

Basically but a little more broader. Just going over the basics for what a beginner would be searching and reading up on as far as mainstream outfitter gear and then providing gear made in the cottage industry that can help lighten the weight at comparable prices.

Glad you enjoyed the previous videos. I'm heading out for a 3 day hike locally will have more videos comming up after the trip.
