Glad you liked it!!
What an amazing scenery so early in the season! Great video, again!
Thanks my friend!
AMAZING VIEWS ! BREATHTAKING BEAUTY COLORS VIEWS SCENERY LANDSCAPE WEATHER CAMERA FOOTAGE VIDEO 📹
AWESOME CAMPSITE ! BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏 THANK YOU 🙏
Thank you Sheety33! Vicarious hiking and camping at age 79 from my desk top is a hoot ! You, sir are a terrific guide ! Thanks again for sharin'!!!🧓
Appreciate you!🙏🏻
I do enjoy this type of video, but really, wish I was there!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice...God's Country for sure 😊
actually it's bigfoot country ...i live near yosemite all my life ..
Cool hike and video. Was just there 3 weeks ago for one day. Did make to top of Vernal Falls but the shape my knees are in, it was a struggle. Doubt I could do this one unless I had another whole day. Wished I’d done a lot of this at an earlier age.
I too have backpacked to the top of Yosemite Falls, but up from the backside and then ascended down the front side. I camped somewhere beyond the top of the falls as well. Enjoyed your perspective of the Yosemite falls area. I will never get tired of Yosemite park videos....take care and travel on !!
Awesome! So many good routes and destinations in Yosemite!!
Nice duuudddeeeee!!!! The waterfalls are nuts this year!
They are!
@@Sheety33 I did Chilnualna a few weeks
Back and holy cow it was powerful! I remember u did a solo there a few years back, what a cool spot
That was fantastic! So good. Glad you tried out that "new" camera. Looking forward to more
Thank you!!
Awsome Scottie , We have crazy thunder storms up here this week
Thank you! Do you know if the eastern trails accessible at the moment?
@@Sheety33 Sorry Scottie I Dont know, things change daily up here with all water run off
Wow. I can't believe the snow. I am doing that loop in July (coming down by Mirror Lake). Wonder what it will be like in a month.
Enjoyed the Format.... 😊
Awesome, thank you!
I had a permit for there two weeks ago but decided not to go beause of the snow and possibe valley flooding like the week before. Currently looking for 1st week of October. I thouht I would prefer to see it for the first time without four feet of snow
Awesome video man..... You have me all pumped up ready to plan my trip. lol Thank you.
Thanks for posting this video. it is one of best Yosemite Falls videos I have ever seen. I will be heading over to Yosemites in July myself. : ) Cheers.
Wow, thank you! Appreciate that! Enjoy the trip!
That's one of my favourite trails in Yosemite... But I've never seen anywhere near that much water on it!
It’s currently a rainforest in some sections!
I do love this style of filming, you did a great job with that camera. What an epic overnighter.
Thank you!
That's was wonderful! Thank you for taking us along. The new camera really caught the majesty of Yosemite.
Your narrative was informative & your enthusiasm was contagious.🌲🐻🌲✌️🤩
Thank you!!
Thanks so much. It's been decades since I was on the Yosemite Falls trail. I have to get back there this year, while all the falls are still celebrating...
Such beautiful place. Wonderful hike my friend! Thanks for sharing 👍
Yes, I like this type of video. Silent ones can be good sometimes but I personally like a good mix of talking and letting the camera tell the story, especially if you have a good personality. Great job! Words can't describe how beautiful this is and you captured it well. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the feedback and I agree!
According to AllTrails, the vertical gain on that hike is 3,254'. You really found a nice camp spot for sure. I'll be camping in Little Yosemite Valley and doing Half Dome in late July, so by then there should be even more dirt tent sites. I've been very interested in a DJI Pocket camera and the quality of your video looks great.
That sounds about right. I forgot to add the digital map to this hike - would have been cool to see the profile for this hike. Enjoy your upcoming trip!! Can’t believe it’s nearly summer😁 The picker is good but the audio for a few of the clips was questionable. I started filming with my iPhone once at the campsite due to the ease of use.
Great video - I need to get up there! Been up there many times but this year is off the hook!
What a fantastic view!
All that water and Wawona is running a sprinkler :D. Why would you ever want to stay at Curry? Your tent set up is infinitely better!
Could not agree more!!
OMG, you made my Sunday! Was so excited when I saw this post but stayed disciplined and finished my Sunday chores first so I could watch it with my lunch of hot chili and an ice cold beer. Love the new camera. And love seeing your camp setup; the tiny tent lights were awesome. Thanks for showing the crowds; I like to see what conditions are really like. It made this NorCal gal want to jump in her RAV4 and head on out! BTW, I tried the Cab wine cube and the Cliff Nut Butter Bar both of which I saw in your videos and loved them both. Planning 5 backpacking trips this year, 2 of which I discovered from your videos: Chocolate Lakes and Kearsarge Pass. You are having a positive impact on people’s lives. Thank you 🤩
Wow, what a comment👍 Appreciate it so much and glad the videos have inspired you. Enjoy your upcoming trips!!
I’ve been waiting for this video! Great stuff per your usual! Thanks for sharing your passions with us all.
Thank you!
Outstanding!
Wow, such a majestic scenery my friend, this looks stunning! Mind blowing scenery!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Totally agree 😀
I hiked up Little Lakes Valley, to Heart Lake, in early June; there is still a lot of snow up there.
This type of video is great with the interaction with you. It was fun watching this and of course drop dead gorgeous where you are.
Thank you!
Missed this vid by last month. So great you found a perfect flat spot and loved your explanation of your gear, good idea. Excellent vid!
You got my butt up there last weekend after watching this trip on your Instagram several weeks ago. I didn't make it to the top to backpack, but I had a great couple of hours up to the mid-point. I'll be back again to camp overnight. Love the camp setup, and now you've motivated me to try the MH chicken and rice. 😅 Awesome trip/video. ✌️ Oh, and the camera is great. Maybe play around with the audio. It sounded like it got a lot quieter when you were using it and talking to the camera. Glad you vlogged this trip!!
Thank you! The DJI is good but a pain to use 😅 I think I’m going to use my GoPro moving forward as the picture and audio are better in my opinion.
That old saying
"Better to have than not have"
Hahahaha
I like it, A Butchered version of
"It's better to have and not need than not to need and not have"
p.s.
Cool vid...
Haha!! You got the gist of what I meant! 😅
@@Sheety33 I did indeed, Great vid, You are a man after my own heart, I spend my free time up in the mountains of Ireland, I would absolutely love to visit Yosemite someday...
Crazy! When were you there? I’ll be hiking behind Chilnualna falls next week, a little concerned about crossings and sleeping on snow lol
Middle of May
Wow, thank for sharing your incredible journey. We'll be there in Yosemite tomorrow - Any tips you could give us? 😄
Take your time and drink plenty of fluids!
Almost thought I was looking at Norman Reedus in the thumbnail lol
Amazing video!!!! When were you there? I am visiting the valley the first week of July and want to do this hike. Curious if I may need to get some water proof hiking shoes.
Thank you! This was mid May. You will likely need water proof / resistant shoes for this hike as it’s really wet!
@@Sheety33 thank so much…. Really loved your video.
What are best and allowed camping spots near upper yosemite falls?
Great video. Amazing view. Unbelievable experience just watching the video. Wondered if you trained a bit before going. Lastly, did you use a satellite phone? Thanks for recording your hike, man!
Thank you! I train weights 3 x per week - definitely helps for hiking in the Sierra. Squats, leg curls, extensions, deadlifts, etc all helps. I had cell service on top of the falls at my campsite (ATT).
Amazing video! Two questions: 21:00 is this a fall to your death trail if you accidentally let go of the handrail and is this "one way" because I cannot imagine how two people going in opposite directions can pass each other here. Thanks.
It’s possible to fall from this location, just need to slow down and focus on your movements. This section is also 1 person at a time out and back.
Love your videos! Quick question: I’ve only been to Yosemite a couple times but this summer I’m bringing my 7 y.o. and I’d like to camp with him for one night but the traditional campgrounds are always booked too quick. What’s the best way to find a spot in the park kind of like what you do?
I was able to find a spot in Wawona at the last minute. If you're looking for spots in the campgrounds, just keep checking back. Spots open up when people cancel, but they get snatched up pretty quickly, too. Good luck!
Thanks @jules I’m wondering if there are spots that don’t require a reservation
@@brianuke2301 Camp 4 is the backpackers camp. It is usually no reservations, first come, first served...sometimes during the busy summer months, the park will instill reservations for Camp 4 - releasing sites 7 days before arrival date.
@@brianuke2301 you can also check Summerdale campground which is just south of the southern entrance by about a mile or 2
Great thanks!!
What tent are you using these days. ?
Big Agnes Tiger Wall 3 - link in description 🏕️
Why not a snow cave...🦥
When you come up with your wife and son, It is worth spending one more night at North Dome.
Agree and we will be back!
You didn’t show the water going over the falls. Just you at the top. Little disappointed
Did you not watch the entire video?
Hi, brother,u show your face in the video so much,people just want to see the trail, beautiful landscape,don't want to see your face, understood?
No one is forcing you to watch 😅
you know yosemite means "murderers" right??
Was there in June, was so beautiful, stayed 4 days soaking in all of the natural wonders of Yosemite!
