    So glad that Hilltop Packs is getting a lot of mainstream love this year -- their gear is awesome, and the fact that we can get whatever we want on the bags and packs is the icing on top! I'm looking forward to your trail videos -- hope you have/had an epic adventure!

    I just completed the CT and sitting in a hotel room in Durango. You will love the CT. It is better than the JMT. Insanely beautiful and heavenly. Take extra batteries as you will film a lot. Frisco, Twin Lakes were awesome. Monarch mountain lodge was also great. Don't forget to visit bakery in Lake City. Avoid Molas Lake campground and instead go to Silverton. The first 40 miles and the last 40 miles are very dry and hot. Carry lots of water. Also a good hat is a must. I carried the zpacks pointy hat. A cap may not work that well. The trail in most of the places is above tree line and sometimes temperatures can reach 100 while hiking for 16 to 18 miles out in the open. August should be drier in terms of rain. Didn't get that much rain in August. Did get some in July. Not much of mosquitoes. Daylight is from 5:30 till 8:30. I found mornings to be hot and evenings to be milder.
    You will love it. It is the most beautiful hike I have ever done. Heaven on earth. Enjoy.

    Was so hoping to meet you in person on the CT when I hiked it with my daughter this summer. She ruptured a disk on day three and we left the trail, plus you started much later than we would have been on the trail. I'm looking forward to hiking the trail vicariously through you this year and for real next year. Happy trails and thanks for sharing.

    @kathrynsnow2993 Před 3 lety

    Awesome vid, Darwin! I was pleasantly surprised by your Anker power bank as I use another one of their products. The Anker Soundcore Bluetooth speaker which I use DAILY in my work truck because the radio doesn’t work! The things I want from your list are: the Alpha Spoons, the bug net, the wind pants, and your ultralite trowel!

  • @leavesfalldown3191
    @leavesfalldown3191 Před 3 lety +1

    love it. if I get a chance to listen to some music when on my hiking trips I always choose music like Delta Parole or Guns N Roses, the rawness is the best with nature.

  • @kellyjohnson3617
    @kellyjohnson3617 Před 3 lety

    I love my cnoc piles. And use my bidet even when I’m home. Cuz I just feel cleaner and use a lot less TP. Still need some TP but much less. Look forward to seeing your hike. Have a great hike

  • @JerryWDaviscom
    @JerryWDaviscom Před 3 lety

    Cool, man. I bought a pair of Altas today on your recommendation. They are super comfortable. In fact, I have worn them for hours and have them on now. They are cut like SAS - San Antonio Shoes - another company that cares about the toe box. All REI had was a pair of black ones, which are not visually appealing, but on the trail they will be so great. I will be three weeks in the Rockies from S. Texas in September, and am taking a brand new Hyke & Byke 0 degree bag. Its probably overkill for the temps, cuz I also run a Klymit Static 5, which is insulated and awesome. I used it in the San Juans in April and have never slept so soundly in a tent. And a pillow. Arrives tomorrow :) Thanks for the great tip on the shoes, and have a safe, peaceful hike on the CT.

  • @msrvfx
    @msrvfx Před 3 lety

    Darwin, have you experienced not using stuff sacks for the things that really don't need them, like sleeping bag, clothing, etc. You end up with more available room in your pack. Stuff sacks create unused empthy space around the outside of them. Just stuff your sleeping bag in the bottom of pack (you already have nylofume protection and pack), followed by clothing, with things that hold numerous items in bacs above. See how much more available value you will have. Yes, I always use a light/thing pack liner.
    Ray Jardin taught me this back in the 70's, and I have been using it ever since. Happy Trails.

  • @rolfdenver
    @rolfdenver Před 3 lety

    I just got an Enlightened Equipment Apex Torrid based on your recommendation and man oh man am I happy. It is super warm and most of all I love the cut, which accommodates my definitely non-Arcteryx-proportioned body (i.e., bigger hips, and more than an ounce of body fat). I had tried the Ghost Whisperer but it was way too big for me if I sized up, and again too narrow around my hips if I went with my usual size. And the Torrid weighs an ounce less than the Ghost Whisperer but feels warmer - probably due to the lack of stitching.

  • @PBlaik

I've been doing volunteer trail crew work with the CTF almost every summer since 2006 and will be interested to hear your impressions and see the views I'm missing this summer due to you know what.

    How long do you need to charge all your electronics? Thanks for your videos. Always looking out for them

    Hi Darwin, are you still able to get TIMP 1.5 shoes somewhere? Where? I am in the 2.0 Times but loved the 1.5’s.

    Hey Darwin, what's the rubber cover over your lens? looks like it would be useful as protection when i have my camera on the backpack strap. Thank you.

      This is just of the top of my head, but based on watching several of his videos in the past, I think a good day is between 35 and 40 miles. I think a great day is 40+. Seems amazing to me!
