What's in that pack of yours?

After several takes and a few camera malfunctions I finally got an acceptable take. I wanted to shoot this video because I enjoyed seeing what previous hikers brought with them. A detailed list of my gear (including weight) can be viewed in the "Gear List" tab above.

Today the Chicago Tribune featured an article about my hike on their website (We are still trying to figure if out if it was in the actual paper). The article was originally printed in the Journal Standard this past Sunday. Nonetheless it was very surprising!
