    One of my close friends from high school died trying to solo summit a mountain (Mt. Baldy). He had just gotten accepted into MIT and had his whole life in front of him. So I've never had the guts to solo hike and summit a mountain myself. But thanks to people like you who film and share their amazing experiences doing it, I still get to see what it's like. What an unreal video.

      Solo experiences in complex terrain have an incredibly high risk factor. Sorry for the loss of your friend! If you still want to give it a go I’d recommend finding a local area that you are familiar with, the terrain is what could be defined as “simple” and obviously taking a friend is always a good call too : )

    Thanks for this. Mt Cheam was the one that got away. I lived in Chilliwack for two summers decades ago when I was your age. I hiked everywhere I could.... but Mt. Cheam never happened for all the reasons you mentioned. I am now a 50 year old disabled person who can only walk 10 minutes at a go . I am so grateful I got to the top of every mountain I could and hiked like crazy with my kids when they were young. Visibility at the top is nice - but not essential. My three best hikes with no view from the top were; The Twin Sister (Vancouver), Snowdon (Wales), Croagh Patrick (Ireland), and somehow they are even more special because they retain some mystery and kept some secrets from me :-). I actually started to cry when I saw this video because....you gave me a chance to get to the top. If only as a witness. Keep pushing yourself. My suggestions for a long cold night in a tent by yourself are knitting and tarot cards. Both are light and can be fast or take a long time. May you have many more peaks alone and even more with the best of those in your world.

      I did two years in the infantry in Alaska, and something i always did (I was taught to do) was put your boots inside your sleeping bag, down by your feet. It's a little uncomfortable at first, but after your body heat warms them, it evaporates any moisture inside them, and they are warm and dry when you put them on in the morning. Then you can do the whole next day with dry comfortable boots. Also, if you have to work with numb hands or feet, I've found you will be paying the price as you age. Hands and feet will get cold (and numb) easier and you then have to compensate and get warm earlier than before, to be functional. I wouldn't change anything though. The inchworms in Alaska tundra make the evening interesting..the mosquitos, not a fun thing. The tundra makes excellent mattresses/pillows. Keep a buddy between you and the Brown bears.

    Good stuff, Challenge makes us grow. Side note: I’ve found boiling some water with the jet boil and filling a Nalgene bottle, then stuffing the Nalgene in the bottom of your sleeping bag, helps keep your feet warm and provides water to drink in the morning. When everything else is frozen :)

      One of the reasons i love Nalgene bottles, handles the heat so well.
      Also, putting a plastic bag over your feets before you head out, specially when it's colder outside. This is to hold in the moisture, so it doesn't freeze your toes before you get to camp

    I remember hiking a 3400m tall summit with my high school friends. It was absolute misery with unforecasted storm rolling in. Freezing our balls from the cold and the wind. Numbing my whole left leg to the point touching it feels painful. It was worth the experience doing hike and pushing myself. But as i got older and finally not having enough time to hike again, watching your video tingled my memory. Great work man, you motivated me to at least make time to hike again, hopefully soon!

That has been very hazardous for the snowy conditions as it provides very low R value (even for autumn season) and deflates in low temperatures. You should definitely upgrade for a proper winter sleeping pad or combined your UberLite with closed-cells foam pad.

    @modwrath810 Před 2 lety

    Your honesty was absolutely Brutal. Thank You, when I read your opening statement I said to myself " Damn, I am gonna watch this dude ". Your mind is a rare artifact of creation. You spoke what you felt in that moment in that time and did not care what anybody else thought about it. outside of them hoping that they felt the same way as you did and do. Get outside and take a risk but know the boundaries to such things and own ownership if it goes wrong. I mean come on, Hardly anybody anywhere does that anymore.
    I have watched countless and I mean as in I got some of the best internet capabilities on the planet , I have watched , wow, a lot to the 10th power and probably even more than that videos on this kinda stuff. a longing to go back in time to my youth, where I belonged to the country and not cooped up in a town of 26,000 . I deeply truly hate this retched place. Every night when I lay down. I am under a tree or sitting on the back of my 4 wheeler looking up at the stars and moon, camping on a spur of notice on the river bottom. No rhyme or reason for it than I could and did. With every fiber of my being I hear that cry, Come back to me, The country, the outdoors. I miss it, I long for it.
    Anyways, my point to this over drawn masterpiece is this. You reached me. Not Les Stroud, and that's tough to do. all these bush craft you tubers. Not Les, he owns his shit. like you do, like me, like I hope a lot of us do. So many of them say and bla bla bla, there is always a what if moment but they keep just a hint of a way out of wasn't me . Failing to admit a conscious made choice of action by themselves inevitably to do or not do.. Own What You Did Wrong !
    And what I have done wrong is to allow myself to wake up go to work to come home to make excuses to myself why not to do something just cause I spent 8 hours doing something .To lay down and go to bed to wish for that moment , that second of time , even if for only that moment, say, I am back and I have missed you too. To only wake up, and repeat over and over. When all I have to do is stop making excuses for all the trivial reasons why not to. ( That is my Wrong and I Own it. )
    Thank You for your truth spoken words in the manor and calmness to wish you expressed yourself . You got to your Mountain Top and I will get back to my country and have that moment for me, for myself, for my own self worth . And when I do Levi, I will sit there around that fire and with my can of Mnt Dew and toast you and Thank You for a Kick in my ASS.

    Living in Oklahoma, it's never about cold or snow. It's all about the wind. I once did some summer camping out by Canton Lake. I stayed in a campsite behind the dam. The campsites were full of tall trees that stuck above the height of the dam and the rustling of the leaves would keep you awake all night long even though there was no wind at your level. I tried a little biking while I was there but it was hard as you had to lean at nearly a 45 in order not to fall over.

    I just found this video randomly and I am so glad I did! I really appreciate the effort that you put in your videos for your viewers! Even under the rain and snow you just keep on setting the camera to give us the best view, landscape and perfect shot! Thank you for this! Can I ask you what camera do you use? It looks amazing

    Theres a feeling that acompanies the outdoors that makes you realize how great we have it to be living in the new world where technology is a given and tradiononality is rare. You said it exactly right when you laughed about outdoors making you more greateful in everyday life.

    I've always enjoyed you cinematic videos and your storytelling What you said up on the mountain about putting yourself in uncomfortable position is something that I've struggled with, you know the reward after being uncomfortable but fear can be crippling at times. I'm trying to make smaller goals. You have a wonderful perspective on life.
    Thank you.

    Every new hiking cut on the way up, I kept thinking about all the retracing of steps to retrieve the camera. Kudos to making this video look so good!
    Also I loved the honesty of all the mistakes along the way. I love to travel and I make a lot of mistakes along the way. Made me feel connected knowing I’m not alone in that.

    A few things went awry but you are definitely bull headed, a good thing, but ita all about having the proper kit, and practicing. Its all about trial and error. A dry bag with changeof socks, and a pair of down bottoms top and booties, is a life saver in those conditions.

    Great lessons learned. Never ever put liquids ( fuel or beverage) inside a backpack. Store on outside. Get a 4 season tent, the mesh on the top let’s heat out and snow in. Also gives the wind an opportunity to get in. Annnnnd. Don’t use that tent ever again in the warmer month’s until you get the bacon smell out. Bears will think you are a burrito.
    Take it for what it’s worth, I just have lots of nights in tents on sides of mountains.
    Also. Tent comes down, stay where ya are until daylight. Broken ankle in the dark is not cool.
    Cheers mate

    This is such a good video Levi. Thank you for not hiding your rougher times from us... having to go back to switch out your boots? Thank you for sharing that with us. These camera shots... my goodness.... all the great shots you got of yourself walking to and fro - I think folks can miss just how much of your precious daylight is spent setting up the shots and the doing the shot, and then retrieving the camera after the shot has been filmed. I mean, my goodness, the video is packed with this effort and it has not gone unnoticed. GREAT JOB! I look forward to more of your videos. Best wishes and stay safe.

    One of the best addition to my camping gear over the years has been dropping noise cancelling earbuds, a good quality media player loaded with music, ambiance and audio books and a power bank in my waterproof bag. When you just wanna sleep through a wind/rain storm it's perfect, great for other things too.

    Broooooo, holy shit man. This content is fucking 🔥. Not only is the editing and camera work SUPER slick and engaging, but I super appreciate your thoughtfulness and authenticity in sharing.
    I think everyone (whether they know it or not) has a deep desire to learn about themselves and to continue to grow, and having someone who can openly express what’s going on internally in a way that’s not only very articulate and interesting, but also very non-judgement and in fact cheerful, is HUGE.
    You said in in the video that one of your big goals in making videos is to get people to get outside more and I want you to know you are 100% accomplishing that. Before the video was over, I found myself starting to brainstorm and dream about the ways I’d like to be outside more and push the limits of my comfort zone more.
    Super inspiring my dude, keep up the amazing work 🤙🏻

      It was sort of satisfying for me. I like the sound of the gashin wind. I'd probably sleep better in that situation, but i would definitely be worried about the tent if i have doubt I believe that was his main concern. If i believe in my tent my strong foundation that I'd be a sweet night for me. Sometimes you gotta let nature take over and embrace it, concern isn't gonna do a thing but to burden your brain. Take a deep breath,

    When you said you were hiking in your Moto boots I thought - Mistake!
    Anyway you did the right thing and went back and changed them. The best cure for blisters I ever found is a product called Compeed. They are patches made of soft plastic stuff and if you apply them properly right over the blister it is like magic - the blister just stops hurting. I mean totally stops!
    Dunno if you can get them worldwide since I think the manufacturer is Danish but if you can get 'em - get 'em!!
    I'm not sure why but you seemed to have your walking pole straps outside your hands? Normally you would put your hand up through the loop and then bring your hand down to hold the handgrip and the strap. That way you can push against the strap and it gives your hand direct support so feels more natural...

    One small suggestion, your satellite device hanging on the roof of your tent could be a bad idea. If the tent blew off the mountain you’d be stranded without it. More realistically the battery would probably be happier if you kept it in the sleeping bag with you! :-)
