- This episode covers the start of the trek from the parking lot to David Lake, 44kms from the trailhead with just 2 hours of sleep. Not the smartest plan. See how we fare.
I fell behind on my CZcams homework. I’m finally getting back after it. I so enjoy your videos. The scenes in this park are just absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I need right now. I’m tired of watching the news and learning about current events I want to see nature. Thank you so much David
:-D Too funny Cliff! No worries. Whenever you have time. I'm sure you have lots on the go.You're welcome and thank you Cliff!
That was a big day! Beautiful country and views... which always makes the climb worth it!
Yeah, tell me about it! lol The views were undeniable for sure. Thanks!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing
Welcome! Thanks for checking it out!
Wow, that's quite the trek. Some pretty technical terrain but the views made it look all worth it. Getting your packs down below 30 pounds is impressive and I'm sure helped.
It certainly was, my feet sure felt it. 😄 But yes, the views were definitely worth it! Thanks!
You friggin mad man! This took me like 4 days!! Amazing stuff
😄 I enjoyed most of it. 😬
Nice views, looking forward to next week
Certainly was! Awesome. 🙌
I’m not a hiker, but I bushwhack in the fall so I know this trek was quite the undertaking!
Looked like a tough one David 👍
Marc, wouldn't say it was as difficult as a bushwhack, but in terms of distance, yes. 😄
7:36 "Look at that damn eh?" - most Canadian thing to say, ever.
😄
So different to here in Australia, just subscribed to your channel 🙏
Thanks for the sub! Yeah, definitely different. I've been watching Amy Outdoors and love seeing the different flora/fauna down under.
@@ThePursuitofPassion Sure is I've got a couple of hikes on my channel if you fancy a look. Cheers 👍
Well done guys! That is a rugged trail.
Thanks Louise!! 😊
A beautiful trail for sure. I did it a few years ago in a record breaking 120 hrs lol😂
😆 Hey, that's good! Last time I did it, I took 148hrs! I have you beat there too! 😂 Definitely an awesome trail. 👊
Great video! When did you do this trip? Late April or Early May?
Hiked it in 1998 with my two brothers, but we did in in four night. Subscribed too.
Nice! Yeah, that would be a good pace. When I first did it in the mid-nineties, I think we did it in 6 days. A bit slow and with heavy packs. Ultralight definitely was not in the equation then! 😄 Awesome, thanks for your support!
I was thinking about a certain type of gloves, used over your socks, that might have kept your feet and lower legs dry for the creek crossing at 16:02, ha ha, if you know what I mean. (Think McCrae Lake near the Narrows and your gift, LOL. )
😆 True!! Oh I remember!
This looks like a great adventure! I have one question.. are the trails well marked or do you have to follow a topo map to guide yourself? I plan on doing this trip myself.
That's awesome Andrea! Highly recommended. The trails are pretty well marked. In the rocky sections you'll have to look for cairns, but otherwise pretty straightforward to follow. But definitely get a trail map from the patk office and get any trail updates before you head out from staff. Good luck!
@@ThePursuitofPassion thanks kindly for your advice!!!!
Very nice video
Thank you
How do you find the kms between campsites and looking at the map but I can’t figure it out??? Please
Thank you. There actually is no info about distance between campsites, in general. You have to calculate this based on the scale of the map you have. However, there was one map (that isn't available anymore) that did, called Jeff's map. Hope this helps!
Thank you 🙏
Nice! Exactly what dates did you actually do this hike? I'd like to correlate your dates to the amount of snow (and water depth on steam crossings) you experienced. Thx.
Hi Wilf, it was May 3 to 5th 2019. Hope this helps! Planning to do it yourself?
@@ThePursuitofPassion Yes, we just booked yesterday. Last year's was canceled, so we're hoping that doesn't happen again. We leave May 6, 2022. So based on your experience, it looks like we can expect some snowy spots and a number of swollen water crossings. Thanks again for the helpful video, and for responding!
Oh ... one other question: Bugs: Were there any? What kind(s)? Were they lazy or active?
As to bugs, we didn't have any issue with them at all. But I would say, even though you are going in early May, there is one major factor we can't control, weather. So you could have more snow and deeper crossings, or it could be a dry year. Just be ready for anything. It's that time of year where it is really hard to predict until closer to the date. Awesome, good luck!
Did you guys run at all or just power hiked the whole time?
We just power hiked the whole way through. We both run a bit, but not our forte.
@@ThePursuitofPassion That's great! I booked for 4 days in October and I was worried I was being a little too ambitious. Thanks for the reply! Enjoy your adventures my friend I will be following you
@@LeMaleDmale I hope on hiking this fall as well!
What time of year was this?
Hi there, we did it in early May of 2019.
🤤 Pizza 🤤Gorgeous area! You had some pretty fun crossings. 👍 Nice view. Thanks for sharing your hike. Subscribed to follow your adventures (#202). I hope our channels grow together. 💪
Any time! Appreciate the follow. Will check our channel out.
What camera did you use to record this?
Trying to keep things light, I simply used a GoPro H7 Black and my cellphone, which is a Samsung S9+.
@@ThePursuitofPassion Did you have any problems with the GoPro 7? I am thinking to get one.
Hi there. No, overall the GoPro 7 has been good to work with. (GoPro's often have some software glitch.) The audio is better and the stabilizer has improved a lot. If you want even better performance and don't mind spending more, go with the 8, although there are great deals on the 7 currently. Have fun!
wig photobombs ftw
😆 Why not? Crazy outing, crazy looks!
