Hiking In Cloudy Darkness Is Very Disorienting
This is the only local park that is open at night. As I neared the peak I was engulfed in darkness and clouds and it was quite a trip, and a bit confusing as well. In some areas I could only see about 8 feet in front of me.
Up in the clouds I couldn't tell where I was at some points, as you will see. Definitely a learning experience.
I saw a lot of frogs and newts hanging around in the trail on the way down.
Trying to stay sane in an insane world. Playing outside is my therapy. Everything is as it should be out here.
Hiking location: Mission Peak, Fremont, CA

I used a filter to make the light stop flickering but it would have taken 3 days to render, so I used it sparingly. next ti...

Hiking Lake Alpine With My Dad!
Просмотров 70Месяц назад
Finally a new video! I visited my Dad on his 82nd birthday and we went for a short hike at Lake Alpine in Alpine County, CA. My Dad had a procedure done on his back recently so this was a bit of a test for him. The lake sits at an altitude of just above 7,300 feet. It freezes over in the Winter and is just up the road from Bear Valley. Lake Alpine is surrounded by granite and beautiful red fir ...
Mount Whitney 2024 - My Third Attempt - Detailed Look At Trail
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.2 месяца назад
After 1.5 years of very hard training, two previous attempts, physical ailments and a whole lot of doubt, I finally made it back to Mount Whitney on Sept 14, 2024. This video shows a lot of the trail for those interested in learning about it. I had serious doubts about my conditioning before I went this year, as anyone who has watched my recent videos already knows. It was a challenging year fo...
Van Camping - Getting Ready For Mt Whitney!
Просмотров 5192 месяца назад
Mount Whitney is in one week! This is a look at my van camping setup, complete with memory foam mattress, foldable bed with storage space, cooking supplies and all the luxuries of home. Well okay, maybe not all of them! I made all of this stuff myself - the bed design, the curtain, window coverings, fishing rod rack, awning...I'm ready!!! Here is a link to a map where you can track my progress ...
Video Editing - Fixing Exposure Fluctuating / Changing
Просмотров 1152 месяца назад
We've all experienced it: you shoot a video where you walk in or out of shade and your camera's exposure freaks out! Too bright in the shade and too dark in the sun! You can fix it!!! "Exposure Fluctuation" is a very common problem but I discovered a trick for fixing it and it is very simple. No matter how I set my DJI Osmo 4 Action camera I can't lock the exposure. It always adjusts as I am fi...
Hike To Giant Ancient Redwood Trees - Big Basin State Park
Просмотров 1373 месяца назад
Today I get to see some of the oldest living things on Earth! Many of these timeless trees are over 2,200 years old! It is such a privilege seeing something so old and still growing. Big basin was overrun by fire in 2020 and looks a lot different now than it did in years past. Fortunately it is growing back, and almost all of the redwoods survived. Through hard work, many of the trails are bein...
4,300 Ft. Attempt Turns Into A Bunch Of Problems
Просмотров 1533 месяца назад
In this video I attempt to summit Mission Peak twice for a total elevation gain of around 4,300 feet. This day ended up being full of problems and things didn't go exactly as planned. Even my bananas were a total failure! By the way, I hope you like my new method of censoring out cuss words LOL! I also show how I do on-trail massage to relieve my knee pain. It's something I learned from my phys...
DIY Trail Mix - Stop Getting Ripped Off!
Просмотров 1953 месяца назад
The price of Trail Mix can be a little ridiculous. Make your own!!! I have ziploc style bags that can be re-used. I put however much mix I want in one and hit the trail. It ain't rocket science! The peanuts at Walmart are very good and so are the raisins. Do it. DO! IT! #hikingfood #trailmix #savemoney

Hey! So Rod and I have been watching and supporting each others channels for awhile and we finally did a hike together. Rod does a lot of backpacking and fishing videos at Henry Coe and other places, and does a lot of surf fishing, so be sure to check out his channel. He has his version of this hike there as well: www.youtube.com/@UCnvp31GRJsBJucRt18JkX2A We had a great time today. It's rare th...
Persistence Pays Off! Never Give Up + Coyote Sighting
Просмотров 1664 месяца назад
I'm finally seeing progress! I got really down a week ago, as you will see, but this week was a breakthrough. Got good footage of a coyote too. I will have more interesting hikes and content for you guys soon, right now I've been working a lot and trying to get out of this funk, which I finally have. This was the first time I'd ever SEEN a coyote yip and howl. He'd raise his head and "yip yip w...
IT'S TOO HOT!!! This Hike Sucked! Whitney Training.
Просмотров 1355 месяцев назад
This is a hike I do often but today was one of the biggest challenges ever for me. I'm out of shape and the weather was VERY HOT. I have to work hard if I'm going to do Mount Whitney but this was too much. It's hard for me to be motivated or do anything at all when it is this hot. When I drove into the parking lot there were only a few cars there which is very unusual. That was a clue. Did I gi...
Mt. Whitney Training - Trying To Motivate Myself
Просмотров 1885 месяцев назад
My motivation for training has gone way down and so has my conditioning. In this video I pay the price for it, so I'm trying to regain both. Hiking isn't all physical. There are a few F-Bombs in this so if you don't like that don't f'n watch this f'n video. I usually censor but sometimes censoring takes away from the moment, so f it! I also call my brother, Matt for some advice, so he's in this...
Training For My First 5K At Henry Coe Park
Просмотров 996 месяцев назад
I HATE RUNNING!!! No really! But here I am! I need a new challenge for the short term so I thought I'd try running. This video is my third run ever. I am doing a 5K "Fun Run and Walk" at Henry Coe Park on Sept 8. Show up! I can walk 5K in an hour so I figure it's a good start for me to try a run. Can't get much easier. I've been thinking about running a little for my workouts so I signed up bef...
Hiking In Desert Environment - Deem Hills Park, Arizona
Просмотров 1046 месяцев назад
I was able to do some hiking while helping my bro with his 250 mile ultra-marathon in Arizona. This was a completely new environment for me. By the way, the terms cactuses and cacti are both correct for the plural of cactus. Cacti is Latin, cactuses is accepted English usage. If you want to check out the video I put together of Matt's 250 race from last year, check this out: ruclips.net/video/x...
