Warren Dunes: Glamping with my girl
Glamping may not be the correct word for this adventure, but I took along a few luxury items to make my time in this park feel more like home.I skipped the long hikes and rehydrated backpacking food and replaced it with cast iron skillet meals and skewered ribeye.
Along Michigan's West coast you will find this park. The beautiful sunset along the water cast a deep orange glow on the dunes as the moon dropped behind them in the background. It was the perfect scene to spend a couple of days with my littlest girl.

My son's first backcountry expedition! Mirror Lake and Crater Lake near Lake Granby, Colorado
zhlédnutí 293Před rokem
Greyson, my 5 year old son, went on his first backpacking trip this summer. He hiked like a champ despite his brief bout with the altitude sickness. This was my brother's first trip too and it was fun to watch him and Greyson experience one of my favorite activities together.
Escalante-Grand Staircase via Boulder Mail Trail
zhlédnutí 319Před rokem
Our trip this year takes us to the American Southwest as my crew and I travel through Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, and Escalante-Grand Staircase via the Boulder Mail trail. We had incredible views and weather on this trip. Canyon hiking is a new and fun type of hike to me. The canyon walls towered over us as we hiked through an ecosystem nestled close to the banks of the Escalante River.
REI Tent Review: Half Dome 2 plus
zhlédnutí 20KPřed 2 lety
I have used this tent on three trips for 8 nights. A few of those nights were spent in the rain. One of the most important elements a tent can protect a camper from is the rain. This tent did the job. Check out our trips, thoughts and scenery in this review.
New River Gorge National Park and Babcock State Park

This video documents our adventure through America's newest National Park. We spent two nights there and hiked through the endless wall trail and the skyline trail. A great trip for anyone who loves great views!
Hummingbird Hammock Review: Light and Luxurious
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 2 lety
As the name suggests, this hammock is as light as a hummingbird. It is compact and lightweight making it perfect for an addition to most packs. I am not an "ultralight" backpacker, but I do like to limit weight when I can. This item lets me have a comfy place to chill for about 8 ounces between the hammock and the pack. As a 220 lb guy, this hammock held up well for my large frame.
Cirque of the Towers: Wyoming's Wind River Range

This trip goes through the Wind River Range in Wyoming along the Fremont Trail. Sage and I had a rough start thanks to some bad food, but the bug subsided and we saw some incredible mountains and lakes.
Yellowstone: Slough Creek Campground, Old Faithful in and more!
zhlédnutí 229Před 2 lety
My sisters, my dad, Dan, and I tooled around Yellowstone for a few days. Although it was not the goal, we ended up staying in some nice lodges and I found it very peaceful. But true to form, we wrapped up the trip staying in one of the more secluded campgrounds in the frontcountry of Yellowstone!
East Rosebud Trail: The Beaten Path

First time backpackers talk about the struggles backpacking. My family sounded like the great candidates for the job. We encountered mosquitoes immune to deet and permethrin, beautiful sunsets, and frigid lakes in our own National Lampoon's Vacation. Then, if you care, I share a little of our story growing up and how this trip reminded me of my childhood.
Bishop's Pass 15 Sleeping Bag Review
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 3 lety
I am excited for this video. Without a doubt, this is the best bag I have ever tested. It has a great fit and great loft in the down. However, I do not find a 15 degree sleeping bag useful. I know many people will LOVE this bag if it fits their needs. For my camping, I tend to spend summer months in Western USA terrain where 15 degrees are a rarity even at higher elevations. Mountain Hardware n...
Asheville--Looking Glass Rock, Looking Glass Falls, and more!
zhlédnutí 247Před 3 lety
We bounced around Asheville and experienced what Western North Carolina has to offer. We stopped at many breweries like Wicked Weed, Sierra Nevada, Burial, and Green Man. We hit up Looking Glass Rock and Falls for a hike with my wife. We drove the Blue Ridge Parkway and took in the sights. Of course, Lauren's favorite was all the food we ate, including White Duck Taco and Biscuit Head.
Red Rocks Canyon Hike- My First Desert Hike
zhlédnutí 73Před 3 lety
I went on a Bachelor Party trip to Las Vegas, but I had to find time to get out. This area was beautiful for hiking. The red rocks and canyons were impressive. I want to go back and do more hiking/backpacking, but I need your input on future desert hikes.
Everything But the Waterfall (almost): Red Buds at Charleston Falls-Kraig Adams Inspired
zhlédnutí 87Před 3 lety
A few weeks ago I did a Kraig Adams inspired hike through my favorite metropark in Dayton, Ohio... Charleston Falls. However, I have visited the falls numerous times, but I can count on one hand the number of times I ever walked past the falls and into the rest of the park. Spring was the perfect time to explore the rest!
Grayl Geopress water filter might change the way I backpack: So you're going backpacking

Dangerous Break answer is at the very end. Come along as my family and I meet up with some friends and enjoy a weekend together in a Kentucky Cabin. I am trying out the Grayl Geopress water filter as I search for a better way to filter water. I have used the MSR Hyperflow for 5 years now and I love it, but recently it has slowed down regardless of the backflushing and cartridge replacement. I w...
What order should you pack your Backpack?: So you're going backpacking
zhlédnutí 114Před 3 lety
Continuing the series we have chosen to cover packing order. Simply put, pack all your gear in the reverse order that you need it. My tent is always the last thing STRAPPED to the outside of my bag. I do this because it allows me to keep my tent up throughout the packing process in case I need shelter, then it is also the first thing set up without needing to unpack anything else from by bag. W...

Hidden Lake Hike- Glacier National Park
Am i right in seeing the tree straps are the sameish price as the hammock itself lol?
wowwww the tent I would dream of, but I can only see not having one hahaha
go browns!
Just the type of content I was looking for, and it was entertaining as well. I appreciate that you guys tested it in the woods and didn't just pull out of the bag and tell me everything about it.
Was just there the last two nights….had warm weather and some how still beat the black flies!
I just purchased this from REI and plan on using it when I go fishing. It was on sale for $174.00, basically 50% off.
My brother and I will be there in 1 week for a 4 day Cirque...i notices your Marco Island shirt. My sister lives there. My mom and dad were Bert and Jann Brewer who owned Marco Fitness club for 30 years. Great video.
Amazing video! loved the introduction. Those drone shots are fantastic. I just went there and did the Wind River Range. What an amazing place. New follower here. Crow
The music is inappropriate for this video. Just let the scenery speak for itself. It is a beautiful part of Glacier for sure.
Great video man, thank you for the insight and inspiration
Does it combine into two persons sleeping bag?
❤
Arrrr
Very informative! Thanks 👍🏽!
I am gearing for the PCT 2024 and choose the Bishop Pass 15. I will make a decision on warmth the first days out of Kennedy Meadows. I think it will be prefect and your review eased my doubts on warmth. I thought maybe it might be lacking for mid June on the PCT. However I will have a smartwool base layer, and I can always wear my puffy. I expect temps in the mid 20s and will layer up if colder.
Amazing review thanks
Thanks so much for your review. Next week is anniversary week at REI. I'm thinking I can get a pretty good deal on one of these, and I'm usually a motorcycle camper, so the weight doesn't bother me.
Great heads up! Thanks.
Awesome video man! Anyone who ventured out on a trail like this solo has some major courage and heart. What made you choose the counter clockwise loop? I will definitely do this trail one day. Not this year as the scenic byways that goes down to roads end will not be open this summer due to road damage. Anyways, thanks for sharing your adventure. One of the most beautiful places in the Sierras Also, jumping off Muir Rock is my daughters absolute favorite thing to do in the Sierras.
Just got this tent, used one on marketplace for $20
That’s an awesome deal. I just shock cord replaced my tent.
There are so many vids of people taking the short route or doing this hike backwards I applaud you for going the smart way. Easier ups and some steep downs but ending with the decent into the valley and awesome views. I've done this loop and an extended version further up around grave lake. will do again this August with my brother Calling it Broventure23 Un-sharted Territory.
First! ❤ about time for a new video!!
The real world is catching up to me! I always think up great plans for trips, but my free time is always too short.
I have one of these tents, and coming back from photographing the last full eclipse of the Sun, I stopped at Yosemite, found a nice camp site and set up the tent. I went for a drive through the park, and heard thunder from where I had set up camp. When I returned, I saw my campsite had been inundated, and the water had reached almost to the lip of the bath tub of the tent. My pack, and my sleeping bag and other stuff I tossed into the tent were completely dry, though I had only roughly thrown the tent together. It is a fantastic car packing tent, but have not yet packed it into back country.
Right on! Having dry gear makes the experience more enjoyable!

Question to those in the comment section: How is this a GREAT review of a specific bag?
It probably isn’t a “great” review. I am guessing that people are being polite when they say those things. However, I try and tell people how my experience with the bag went during a backcountry experience. My sister is extremely sensitive to cold temperatures so I think she embodies an anxiety many people have while diving into the unpredictable backcountry elements. Can I stay warm if I must? I think we used the gear, shared our thoughts, and had fun while doing so.
What a cool video. Is that crater lake mirror lake trail in RMNP? Those views are awesome.
The backcountry portion is not in RMNP. It is outside of Granby, Colorado.
In have my 35 year old Sears Hillary 3 person 6.5 lb tent with the plastic floor rolled up to 7"x13" in a compression sack and could probably get it smaller using straps, have you tried rolling it different ways? Just curious because I'm looking for something a bit smaller to carry and can't picture this being bigger than mine when packed.
I’m going Colorado bound later this week!!
About dang time you posted another video! 🤟🏼✌🏼 I love RMNP!
It is a struggle! Unfortunately, I have to keep a real job so I can keep the lights on!
mr kretz lit 💪
You can never have a too warm sleeping bag.
Great video. Love your new backpacker and gear reviewer!
Thanks! 👍
Excellent video! I’m planning on bringing my young girls on their first backpacking trip soon. Inoticed your son had a nice small backpack. Care to share what brand and any feedback?
Thank you! Deuter is the brand of pack he is using. The size is 18L. My son is about 55lbs and the weight we placed in the bag was minimal. He only carried a small sleeping bag, jacket, and UL sleeping pad and 1 full L of water.
Love this I will definitely use this thanks Scioto River Co-op
YESSS!!! It’s about time you got another video out!!
I'm happy to see you playing Wizard! It's a great card game.
The campsite at 4:03 is the exact campsite me and Ashley camp at if it’s open!!!
Love Hansons Point..,me and my wife will be out there in a couple weeks. Love this video and the narration!!!
Does this one measure 90" long like the latest "SL" Super Light version? If it's 90" long, I was wondering if you could tell me how long it is 4" high off the ground. I wonder because both my pads are thick and I'm trying to see if these are rally long enough for me. Does it appear to be under 7' long when measured 4" high due to the sloped sides of the tent? Nice to see you getting that little feller out there with his dad. :)
I am sorry but I don't have an answer to your question. I have a sleeping pad that is about 2 inches longer than I am at 6'2". It fits well and my feet and head don't touch the end of the tent at the same time.
@@sciotoriverco-op6358 Thanks. I ended up going with a larger older model used from the bay cus I wasn't sure. It's just like new and got a good deal, so all is good. Nice to know I can probably fit in this one no problem too though.
THIS CHANNEL IS GOLD! How are there not more subs???
Thanks! I am sure I don't rack up the subs because I only upload 6 videos a year. But I appreciate you and everyone who watches!
Cheers on the video brother
Love people that chuck their gear around, so damn cool!
Great video! Very helpful and straightforward. Have you tried setting it up as a fast pitch (Just the footprint and rainfly)? I'm curious to know how it looks.
Not yet! Whenever I am in a position where the weather is good enough for a quick pitch I tend to throw a tent out all together and sleep under the stars! I will try it, though!
Yeah..... Let's just assume everyone can or wants to hike 10-13 miles a day with a 30-40lb pack. Why make it a race? why make it a chore?
Is this a waterproof tent? And shoild i need a footprint for this?
If you're buying from REI than it should come equipped with a footprint
@@Doodo232 is this waterproof? Like from storms
@@Doodo232 they don’t come with footprint. You can buy it separately
OMG your Peter Gibbons from the movie “” Office Space “”
"I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I thought it could be."
This was so incredibly helpful and well done!
nearly 2 years later, this video was super helpful for me in my decision making on which tripod to purchase. Carbon fiber or aluminum - I'd watched one too many videos on the topic! Ended up "settling" on the aluminum one. Peak Design just recently hiked the price up on each of these models. The AL version is now $370, and the CF is $650. I was able to find a brand new AL one for $300, cheapest new CF was the $650... A bit lighter, a bit stiffer, sure. $350 better? eh. I'm typically a "buy once, cry once" guy, but really had to consider how often I use a tripod. I suppose if I use the aluminum version a lot, I could eventually consider grabbing the carbon fiber version in time. Appreciate the video!
If you are physically capable of booking 20mi days/7k feet EG is this there anything stopping you from doing this in 2 days if time limited?
Does the compressed 2.6l stuff sack coke with the bag or is there a specific one you use?
The sack comes with the bag.
Beautiful video! We’re heading there ourselves this summer… video to follow! 🇺🇸
