BackpackingTV's video: Backpacking ASMR: First Night in Durston X-Mid Pro and Gear Testing for Grand Canyon Trip

I took a backpacking trip in Northern Arizona to familiarize myself with some new gear I'm planning on taking on a Rim to Rim to Rim backpacking trip with Dan Becker. It's always a good idea to test your new gear before relying on it in harsh conditions. Here's a little of what it's like to go backpacking with me. This video is part of my new series focusing on the feeling and atmospheres of backpacking. I hope you like it.
