Resources and Tips for New Backpackers: Summer 2021 Class on The Basics of Wilderness Backpacking

This video is to complement a class I taught for beginner backpackers. Below will be a bunch of helpful links, which I discuss in the video (and a few that I didn't), along with a summary of what I planned on discussing in more detail for my lecture. Feel free to ask questions or give feedback in the comments below. The usual disclaimer: I am not sponsored, I taught this class for free, I make no money on this channel or my blog, etc. One of many studies on the health benefits of walking in nature: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/... Here's a meta-study looking at various benefits and even takes into account Covid-19: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti... DIY/MYOG supplies and materials: USA: https://ripstopbytheroll.com/ EU: https://www.extremtextil.de/en/ Swedish Subreddit list of lots of EU UL gear: https://www.reddit.com/r/UltralightSw... UL gear trade subreddit to buy used gear:   / ulgeartrade   How to make a cheap but effective plastic tarp: http://cesarandthewoods.blogspot.com/... I recently did a few gear lists for people starting out in the USA, with estimates of costs in USD. But I would say the price would be similar in Sweden after converting the cost to SEK. Please keep in mind these lists are not complete lists of everything you need, just the main essentials. Here they are: Bare bones starter kit: plastic tarp 10, tent stakes for tarp 5, cord for guy/ridge lines 10, cheap tent 30, salvaged plastic ground cover (free), cheap synthetic sleeping bag 30, IKEA synthetic blanket to boost warmth of sleeping bag 5, foam mat 10, garbage bags (free), stainless steel pot from 2nd hand store 5, hobo wood stove (free), simple pocket knife 10, plastic rain poncho 5, water bottles (free), boil water to purify (free) or fill up on tap water (free), simple compass 5, small battery charger for your phone 15, simple first aid kit 10, whatever backpack/duffel bag/etc. you already have (free), for a grand total of about 150 USD (1300 SEK). Full/deluxe starter kit: DIY/MYOG fabric tarp and net tent combo (including guy lines and stakes) 150, space blanket ground cover 10, spare guy line 10, roll of garbage bags 5, DIY/MYOG Apex sleeping quilt rated for about 32F/0C degrees 63, inflatable air mat from Amazon 30, foam mat 10, stainless steel mess kit 30, DIY alcohol stove and windscreen (free), 4 pack of HEET (rödsprit in Sweden) fuel for the stove 6, nicer pocket knife 20, generic fabric rain poncho 10, medium sized battery charger for your phone 30, simple first aid kit 10, water bottles (free), Sawyer water filter 30, nicer compass 15, small camping trowel 10, new 60 liter generic backpacking pack 50, for a grand total of about 489 USD (4100 SEK). Create and print free wilderness maps (Sweden): https://minkarta.lantmateriet.se/ Search in app stores for your smartphones (Sweden): My Map (by Lantmäteriet, and free to download), Lokalsinne (also free to download), Topo GPS (cost me 40 SEK I think). Here are some trail guides that I have written that you can follow or use for inspiration for trips: http://cesarandthewoods.blogspot.com/... You can also Google the names of various marked trails and many have their own website with maps and other good info you can use. Finally, here's a text I wrote giving general advice to new backpackers (I forgot to mention it in the video): http://cesarandthewoods.blogspot.com/... This should give any new backpackers plenty of resources to start their adventures out in nature.
