impractical notion bringing a novice into the back

I'm spending the mid year in Central Idaho hiking. I have a pal that I vehicle camp with that has 0 experience hiking. He chose to drive up and rucksack with me. We looked at his stuff and it was terrible. He most likely has a base weight near 40 pounds. Fundamentally he brought his vehicle setting up camp stuff. He purchased a no name knapsack off of amazon. He has an ozark trail tent, 30 degree walmart camping bed, a yoga mat to rest on. Evening time temps range from 27 to 40 here. I let him know he could utilize a portion of my UL gear like my EE Rev and Gatewood Cape however he doesnt need to and afterward. I mean I question the 30 degree resting and yoga mat will keep him warm. He likewise purchased a 1 pound liquor oven haha . He doesnt need to utilize any of my stuff. All I shared with him was on the off chance that you can convey that gear then, at that point, bring it. I'm a little stressed over going on a long outing so I think a will do a short over night into fourth of july lake and check whether he altered his perspective on utilizing my stuff.

Im a UL explorer. My stuff is totally under wraps. Im sure the vast majority of your stuff is something similar. What do you do when you go on a novice on an outing and their stuff is finished poop and very weighty? Just let them gain from their mix-ups?

I comprehend the need to move slowly with fledglings yet I have an inclination we will stop to rest like clockwork

Take him on a one night trip in mild weather and only a few miles from the car. Let him use his own equipment. He will soon figure out that what he has is not going to work.

You can talk to him about equipment, but if he is resistant he needs to learn it the way most of us do by carrying it up a mountain. To be honest, 40 lbs doesn't seem that bad as a starting point. I've seen a lot worse. No bluejeans? No canned food?

I don't think it is realistic to plan an extended hike as a first hike. As the post above me suggested, plan a one or two nighter out and back. See how far up the mountain he can get and let him figure out his own equipment. Maybe he is a goat and will out hike you with three times the weight.

Talk to him about it, explain what's wrong
