easy buttons whether you're backpacking
0:12

0:15
tips that combined weigh just over 1 lb
0:18
to stay cool and comfy at the beach my
0:21
wonderful sister is heading to Greece
0:22
for a little over 2 weeks and she plans
0:25
to spend a lot of time relaxing with her
0:27
husband on quiet and secluded beaches
0:30
that won't have sunbeds or umbrellas for
0:32
rent so I've learned a lot from her she
0:34
is a minimalist traveler she takes a
0:36
carry-on only now she doesn't want to
0:38
Lug around Beach gear or buy items that
0:41
she'll only use once plus she said that
0:43
a lot of these beaches will require a
0:45
hike to get there so even on larger
0:47
beaches that offer rentals it's worth
0:49
packing your own gear the crowds often
0:51
mean rentals run out so destinations
0:53
like Greece were so crowded due to over
0:56
tourism that vendors are running out of
0:58
chairs and umbrellas to rent during the
0:59
peak season and vendors illegally hting
1:02
beach chairs and umbrellas on the small
1:04
beaches are being shut down in
1:05
government crackdowns having your own
1:07
ultr light Beach Essentials is the
1:09
perfect backup plan here she is at a
1:11
local Beach doing a test run of all the
1:14
items that she plans to take her luggage
1:16
will be limited to a 22in roller bag and
1:19
backpack for her to be comfortable for
1:21
hours on the beach she needs three
1:23
things a chair a beach towel and shade
1:26
she can't take a lightweight folding
1:28
camping chair it's much too big to fit
1:30
in her suitcase but without some sort of
1:32
chair on the beach you can get tired
1:34
from leaning on your arms and elbows now
1:37
a standard beach towel is so thick and
1:39
bulky it takes up half of her suitcase a
1:42
beach umbrella is way too tall and
1:44
impractical to check in for a flight
1:46
some people can hang out on the beach
1:48
from sun up to sun down but she
1:49
overheats and gets migraines pretty
1:51
easily she needs to get some sort of
1:52
shade to give her a break from the Sun
1:54
check out how she downsizes all of these
1:57
to ultra light tiny alternativ that fit
2:01
suitcase first she combines this hyper
2:07
umbrella a Turkish towel with a built-in
2:12
pocket and a quickback UL chair from
2:16
lightsmith all the products are listed
2:18
in the description box the chair is made
2:20
from rip stop nylon from the seat and
2:22
carbon fiber for the poles weighing in
2:24
at just 75 G which is 2.65 Oz
2:32
assembly is so simple you insert the
2:34
poles in the reinforced pockets on the
2:36
chair back Crossing them in an x pattern
2:38
there are large diameter feet to keep
2:40
the poles from sinking into the
2:54
ground next the Turkish towel is 38x 75
2:57
in and weighs 11.5 o she selected it for
3:01
the hidden Pocket that can hold her
3:03
sunscreen and a few other items the
3:04
Turkish cotton is incredibly quick
3:06
drying and absorbent sand shakes off
3:08
easily because the Turkish towels don't
3:10
have the te Loops that trap sand like
3:12
regular beach towels do set up the chair
3:14
you sit on the wide end of the seat you
3:16
set it on the ground with the poles
3:17
under the fabric then prop up the poles
3:19
behind you and lean back on the chair to
3:21
make adjustments just reach back and
3:23
grab the poles lean forward a little and
3:25
then move them to a better position
3:27
after that you can lean back and relax
3:30
the sun umbrella is 6.8 Oz or 193 G it's
3:35
a trekking umbrella made by Hyperlite
3:37
Mountain gear 50 plus UPF sun protection
3:40
it's vented for use in high wind
3:42
conditions which you sometimes find at
3:44
the beach it can be as many as 20°
3:46
cooler under a sun umbrella because of
3:48
the heat reflective properties of the
3:50
silver coating I think the venting
3:51
helped the heat Escape if a downpour
3:53
comes out of nowhere you're also covered
3:55
because of the low weight the umbrella
3:56
balances easily on her shoulder she can
3:58
protect her head and shoulder shoulders
4:00
if they have too much sun or any other
4:02
body parts on her feet up that need a
4:04
break if there is naturally occurring
4:06
shade on the beach you can set up there
4:07
and let the umbrella provide shade to
4:09
any areas outside the naturally
4:11
occurring shade at the end of her Beach
4:13
day she packs up by closing the
4:16
umbrella collapses the poles in the
4:22
seat she rolls the poles up inside the
4:32
then rolls up the Turkish
4:44
towel that's it you're ready for the
4:47
next adventure it all fits in one hand
4:49
and weighs just 1.3 lb which is. 59 kg
4:53
all right y'all until the next time take
