  • Does the thought of backpacking in bear country scare you? My girlfriend Kristi and I, as well as our dog, hit the trail in the Wind River Range of Wyoming to go on her first backpacking trip in bear country. Together we brave wild windstorms, hail, long days on the trail, icy lake swimming, and the threat of bears outside our tent at night.
    Read up more on route descriptions and how to do this trail yourself:

    Well mate if she's got the same attitude after a month of non stop hiking as she has after your 3 day hike, mate marry her, she's your woman, you'll never part - total compatibility I guarantee it. Lovely video, great to see two young people involved in the great outdoors - I enjoyed and subscribed.

    My very first backpacking trip as a 14 year old was a little bit north of your route, Bridger National Forest, 50 years ago. I am planning an anniversary trip on that same trail next summer. This time, I will come back with pictures of that amazing country ! Seeing your great video is making me consider extending the trip to include some miles around where you were at. Thanks for sharing !

I’m so excited to go & I always LOVE Camping! But I knew nothing about backpacking!!! I’m learning quickly! I’m much older & both broke & broken! But not ever gonna give up!, Finally my turn & I’m going! I’m really hoping I’m strong enough to carry what I need, & I’m doing some great bikepacking too! 🚴 🏔 ⛅️

    What kind of camera setup did you bring in this trip? For all of the video specifically. I always have a tough time balancing quality and weight with my camera gear on backpacking trips. Thanks!

    • @BackpackingTV
      @BackpackingTV  Před 3 lety +1

      Hey! For my big camera I use the Sony a7r3 and the sigma art series 24-70 2.8, plus a manfrotto tripod. For one the go filming I also bring the DJI osmo pocket. It's a lot of weight and bulk and more than I recommend carrying for most people. But I love filming and doing photography in the wild so it's always been worth it.
