    Great trip, Josh, and thanks for the kind words. I had a blast! It was fun working that weak CW to get ZL and JA in the log summit-to-summit. It was chilly but we dealt with it and made for a fun weekend. Thanks for being the impetus for this fun adventure.

      You need to find an EME station that works CW... I am betting you could copy the weak ones! 2m EME CW is half magic half skill LOL 1296 is easier, stronger signals...

    If there’s a good part to not having family over the holidays, it’s that I get to go camping with my dog and play tacti-cool/ham radio guy in the woods. This will be my first time hiking in the dark with night vision and I’m very excited! Baofeng will always be attached to me along with other supplies (not forgetting the tipi tent with wood stove for comfort). You have access to lovely land and great people. Thanks for sharing! Feels like I’m tagging along with y’all

    Funny enough I was up on Thomas mountain this same weekend and drove past your camp and radio setup on my way to the summit in my Jeep looking for a yellow-post site. I was wondering what you were all up to with all the radio equipment. Pretty cool that I stumbled across this video now that I've started getting interested in HAM and GMRS radio. It's awesome how far you can reach with the HF setup. I've been appreciating all the videos you've made and the community you have grown, keep up the good work and maybe I'll see ya out on the trail someday.

    I have one of the oldschool fold up Coleman camp ovens. It packs pretty flat and then unfolds in to a cube. It isn't heavily built or insulated at all, so it's pretty underpowered on the actual Coleman stove, but the big high powered Camp Chef stove gets it up the high 400's. Have definitely baked cakes at deer camp in cold weather.
    Also, this looks like it was a blast. When my boys are big enough to drag on this kind of thing, will definitely need to organize this kind of thing with some of the PNW crew.

It wouldn’t have a ditch running down it if they did. Pro tip. Always ad about 10%more water to dehydrated foo, stir well and make sure it soaks for full 10 min or what they recommended . They are always mush. Bring pepper powder and black pepper. They are bland.
