Nice vid! Do you have a link to the dance pants? Very curious to give them a try now. :)

Scary, man. Do they normally avoid you if they have no cubs nearby? I planned on hiking most of the desert region at night, now I'm not sure. Lol 😐 I went out for a day hike near Lake Hemet (Idyllwild), not even 2 minutes in, I walked through a small stream crossing and there was a giant paw print, I spun around so fast looking at all the high elevation to see if it was nearby watching me.

I love the videos :)

I really enjoy watching you and your trailfam. You’re showing things that others don’t. You’re honestly is much appreciated! Thank you (I do wonder when this hike was due to fires etc) no matter Keep it Up! 👍

Stephen that snowy mountain you did was that on the PCT or a PCT side trip ?

Best video yet! Great editing. It warms my heart watching this video. You captured our adventures so well in this video ❤

I think this is your best yet!! Such a crazy, complicated few days summarized so well. So glad I got to experience this with you and look back on it now with such a beautiful video!

Loving your videos, truly inspiring and motivational 🤙🏽 What date was your San Juanito mountain hike? Was that snow sill in late August? Thanks in advance for your response

Former thru hiker here.. I think a lot of the gear is used bc of CZcams influencers. The condensation in the duplex is terrible!!! It’s tough to pitch when the ground is hard and no rocks around. Freestanding and double wall is better. Thermarest pads are so noisy, you can’t sleep. Plus they aren’t near as comfortable as Nemo or S2S or BA pads. As for quilts, the dangly straps to connect it to the pad is a nightmare when you’re tired and just want to sleep. I personally don’t need to be the lightest; I would rather enjoy my time and be comfortable!!! I feel it’s become a trend to try to go super ultralight, but everyone likes different things. HYOH. These are just things I’ve realized and now will carry the extra weight to be more comfy.

Toilet paper is basically pure short-fibre pulp. Burried under ground it fully decomposes in about 3-4 weeks. That being said, bidet is more elegant and nature friendly option.

Hey I’m planning a trip would you recommend Elbert to someone who’s only climbed the Wichita mountains

The material is a dealbreaker for me. I use an 80g/m2 merino shirt in the summer and this one is 135g/m2. Almost twice as much. I don't understand why all sunhoodies have materials this thick when their main use is against the sun, so mostly in high temperatures.

pretty sure i ran into you in the sierras. I was the very few that were hiking nobo on the jmt

Great video amigo

Surprised there was no trowel. Was it just missing this day?

Love your editing! Can't wait for episode three!

This deserves more views … great vlog 🙏👍

2:14 gosh damnit, nature.

Dude! Watching this as I sit at home, taking a needed mental break from trail. This is motivating me to get back on trail and enjoy the remaining miles. Thanks so much 🙏 Stoked to see the rest of your videos. Also super cool to see how you met Avery, Miles, and Southpaw

Bravo........question on first......u wonder if u can finish..........are u the last to start..........good luck..........might be a snow year........even if u do desert section .....hot.....night hike......cheers

My usecase is motorcycle rides in Vietnam

Sun hoodies wprk whwn theres a breeze. That material sucks with no wind.

why not use one of those ultra light nitecore headlamps that everyone is using?

Nice one ! Looks like your vego too - good for you. What date did you start at the border ?

Would be great if you chose a size that fit you…

Great video! It's so funny to see you cowboy camping in the spot we waited out a snow storm haha

Stoked to see this! Rock on

Wow 1000 miles! That's crazy

Good trip! U used altra there? Give us your thoughts, plz

that's so sick!! can't wait to watch your journey, its a super admirable thing to be doing, hope u have a blast

happy to follow you stephen .. keep it up and greetings !!

Trevor’s story is awful. If there isn’t already, a program where you buy your ice axe, send it to be store at where it will be needed and then when you have finished, you can send it back to that place for the next person for either free or small hire charge (to fund the program). Often it’s cost that’s the reason why people don’t have the right gear. And if you only need it for a small section, then it’s more likely to not be purchased.

I like to carry a fairly large strong pack. Then i carry ultralight gear inside. If i need to add a piece of gear, carry 8 liters of water, get a bear can, or want to carry 200 miles of food its not an issue. I can generall keep it under 20 lbs total but if i neet to carry 60 lbs (which is basically never) im well equipt to do so.

Black Diamond is the best.

How’s the shrinkage been?

20lbs is your heavy? Dang I shoot for 30… I also carry 6 Tallboys of beer and camera equipment though…

Really??

A “turkey basting bag”? Eww….. “budget gear”

Imagine being the 🐱 in the relationship… the way she said aweee lmaoo😂 it’s 20lbs dude

With the headlight look for one that has a red light option. Red light is much easier on the eyes and doesn't ruin your night vision.

Just move or get cold

People are so weak…..

THANKS

Woahh, hey, man! Crazy to run across you on CZcams. Haven't seen you since college 🤯. Awesome. Look forward to seeing your adventures

Cool review ! Hopefully you can answer me, do you have news about durability ? How is it holding up ? I'm afraid about backpack friction damaging it (happened to me with a black diamond Alpenglow)

I found a Simms Solarflex long sleeve and it not only had thumb holes, but also a middle finger loop and it literally covers half an inch past the knuckle. Such a smart and simple feature

20 is not traditional. Still considered lightweight. I also get weight is subjective. One may feel 20 is heavy, others maybe not so much. Everyone has a sweet spot and your pack system contributes to the overall distribution and “feel”. That being said…bro you might wanna work out a bit, you’re struggling there a bit with 20..

You air dry after using a bidet ....so you sit around waiting for your hairy ass to dry before you pull your underwear up? Last time i took a crap a bidet in a squeeze bottle wouldn't clean my ass at all.

My pack is typically 30 pounds. I once did a month trip with a 50 pound pack

Bro, you're so lucky it wasn't man bear pig!
