We all have luxury ultralight backpacking items, but which are mine? I’ve been tagged by Cam Hikes to create my addition to the viral video topic of what other luxury items long distance hikers have in their kit list.
Some poeple have items such as down booties, inflatable pillows, portable speakers and many other things, but for me, my most luxurious items are my Canon M50 mirrorless camera, my Rode Video Micro directional microphone, my DJI Mavic Air Drone, as well as my Katabatic Gear 30 degree down sleeping quilt and my MSR Pocket Rocket 2 stove.
Many people decide to cold soak instead of taking stoves, some use sleeping bags instead of quilts, some don’t use drones or big cameras and instead go for just their phone or a small compact.
So I consider these items to be luxury items in my UL backpacking gear list because they’re on the pricier side of hiking gear, they’re lightweight for the quality and not all hikers carry them.

I have a few luxury items: gopro and accessories, sit pad and a luxury pillow and a keeping bag liner and I better not forget the Tone of chocolate.
I'm loving the quilt Russel – I've checked it our before. When I get the money I will treat myself. As for the camera I'll give that a miss. I think the RX100 will do for me right now – with 20 m Megapixels I can crop without to much damage. As for stoves I use the Evernew or the heavier Crusader set, which I have an attachment to. Any way well presented. Mark
Brilliant video mate, interesting to see and hear about your luxury items, camera gear is always a killer when it comes to that added weight but definitely worth it!! Thank you for the tag and shout out much appreciated…. I will look at putting a video together soon. Cheers mate peace out
have you ever considered buying something like a Micromuff wind muffler for your smaller camera with no mic-output ? i know loads of youtubers who use them and swear by them!
