No, not me. I came across this article while looking for something else and found some of his equipment choices interesting.

The author is Chris Brinlee, Jr., and the article is on gizmodo.com.

It's an interesting read, maybe a little too hipster for my taste.

Having done my share of backpacking as a 20-something I always adapted my gear to the situation at hand. Mr Brinlee has done the same - his gear is heavy on electronic gadgets and photography, because that is what he does. Someone planning to spend even more time outdoors, doing lots of outdoor camping etc. would be well advised to bring more basic kit and tools IMHO.

I liked the Mountain Hardwear Mtn.Speed sleeping bag and the Ghost Whisperer Down Jacket - that's a high end! The rest is more like an often questionable personal choice, and not that impressive to recommend to every traveler. Perhaps only as a necessities set example? However many necessities aren't covered at all. Like underwear, socks, hat, hygiene, tools, e.t.c. And there is no much of analysis of choices made provided, e.g. "have a pair of each piece of clothes type for redundancy" was definitely followed, but not explained. Indeed, a hipster style of sharing ideas as well
