    I've watched a few videos done by backpackers filming the Rae Lakes loop. It's on my Bucket List. None of them captured the joyful camaraderie of a bunch of men sharing an epic hike like yours does. The segment about the "fluffer-nutter on a carb vehicle" is priceless.

      @@chaseadventures I've done three multi-day trips to Yosemite, one in Eagle Cap/Wallowa in Oregon, and two other in Colorado…and I have another six or so Yosemite trips researched and planned out. Some of the best memories of my life is being with the men on these adventures. But fluffer-nutter must be an acquired taste. LOL. It would take a LOT of water to wash that down. Happy Trails, Chase.

    Awesome video! Kings Canyon really is an underrated NP. It’s so easy to get into the back country there and get away from it all. I go there all the time as I live about an hour away. Thanks for sharing. Doesn’t get much better than the Sierra and some good buddies.
