With all that gear - big reel, lots of backing, tons of flies in multiple boxes, a fly vest, etc. I doubt this guy is backpacking. How about putting together a video that reflects what a backpacker would carry. Minimalist stuff. No vest. I box of flies tops. Small, lightweight reel with little backing (more is unnecessary), no net, etc.
