  1. Devin – thank you so much for this! My 8 year old daughter has been super excited about going backpacking, and it’s SO helpful to see how to prepare for that. IDK that she’s quite ready for the Uintas yet, but I’m hoping that we can start going on more trips together because she sleeps better in a sleeping bag than in her own bed!

  2. Hey man, great video. Super helpful for getting a gear list for my kiddos. I had a question about that accesory chest bag on your pack. Can you tell me more about it? Looks super handy.

  3. I’m debating whether to buy the same backpack for my 8-year-old son or a bigger one. Your video is very helpful, thank you.
