I agree that we have a work life imbalance issue in this country. I don’t think all of it caused by the individual making poor decisions. I think part of it corporate abuse and lack of government protection for the working individual. I believe that is the root cause of what you described as well as runaway consumerism. Have you read about overshoot or degrowth? All the best to you on your continued life learning!

Lo hablaste y lo pronunciaste muy bien sen~or Burro...

Rewarding effort!

Your experiences help me feel a little less cynical about people in the US.

Beautiful mountain scenery

U are living your best life👌👍👍

THIRTY MILES IN ONE DAY IS OUTSTANDING BUT CRAZY 😂

this is really interesting im so glad you made this video. I work on a computer all day for 5 days a week. that combined with other life stress causes vision issues, like blurring, i notice it at the end of a long day working. to counter that, I have noticed that when i spend time in the mountains ( or just outdoors in general) i can feel that it helps relieve the stress in my eyes and that relieves mental stress for me. I have been telling my friends lately that I believe that simply going outdoors and looking at natural landscapes at far distances is very healing for us, especially those of us that live in an urban environment, I feel like they think im crazy or something but you've helped validate my thoughts. I think its more than just " getting out doors and disconnecting from the busy life we live, I think its something nuero-physical about what we are seeing with our eyes. anyways, thanks for sharing, Im going to try out some of these methods.

thanks for taking us along! i just got started section hiking the CT and am looking forward to this area!

that is one of the biggest take-aways for me with backpacking, it really makes you appreciate the little things in life and really helps me keep things in day to day life in perspective.

what's that hoodie your wearing?

Have you tried the flextail mosquito repellent, heard its pretty good

I follow the channel " thruhikers " @reneeandtim They dehydrate food for their thru hikes 😊 Just recently they have started freeze dried foods also 😊

Oils do not dehydrate well

Hun... We know what you look like. Can you post more of the actual trail for us please? Is there any way to hang the camera like a necklace so you can use your trekking poles while recording??

How frequently do your clothes rub you the wrong way?

Great mountain scenery shots.

You indicated that the REI pants and OR Sun Hoodie are your base layer-do you not wear underwear? Next time you’re at my place we can refresh the DWR on your stuff.

Niceee

good one!

Nice video-I'm jumping back on in September from Twin Lakes area-and shooting for 100 miles. I'm on the 10 year plan as I only get 3-5 days a year to hike on the CT.

surprised you aren't using the good ol' Frogg Toggs Ultra-lite2 rain jacket. It weighs around 5oz, cost like $15-$20 and is completely water proof. Yes, you'll sweat in it lol

I have been debating with myself whether to wear shorts or pants on my upcoming backpacking trip (I have OR Ferassi). I normally wear hiking shorts when hiking in the summer, but I am expecting bugs to be a bigger issue when hiking the CT from Silverton to Durango. Also, I am thinking of using a 3L poncho instead of my OR Helium rain jacket. It will look stupid, but it will protect my backpack as well as me. You did not mention gloves, which is where I am most likely to first feel cold. I will bring light wool gloves and waterproof gardneing gloves. I also will use a very light wool buff for wiping sweat, or added warmth, or added neck sun protection. Glad to see you are still posting.

Just found your channel and am enjoying your content. Have you ever found yourself in a low sugar state? I tried the low fat diet but I was bicycling a lot and kept hitting the wall (bonking). The first time I almost blacked out as it came on so fast. Do to a cycling accident I’m trying backpacking while I’m off the bike. I’m thinking that maybe the caloric burn is lower than cycling and maybe low carb might work.

Tuna is good , i can eat tuna daily without getting tired of it , smoked dehydrated salmon sounds way-better

Your approach to thru hiking makes me think a thru hike for me is feasible

What u say about diet high fat / low carb , 💯 facts , ppl can eliminate many inflammatory symptoms

I love how simple u made ur pack I don’t think id personally like a tarp vs a tent ⛺️

I like the longer videos

Hope you got some yummy town food 👣💕

Keep on keeping on 😊

THANKS FOR SHARING 👣💕

LOVE ALL YOUR EXPLANATIONS ❤🤍💙

It is called food insecurity. They could have food at home or at camp but have in the past gone hungry. They are afraid it will happen again. The government keeps many in poverty. Say I had four children and received food stamps. I have to stay poor to still get those food stamps. If I make simply one dollar too much I will be taken off food stamps 😮 Another thing is being on government welfare teaches our children that money does not stay in the bank. As soon as it drops into the account you take it out because if you have too much in there you get cut off from welfare😮 Basically if we try to save money or try to teach our children to save money... We simply can't do it in the banks. My children's account's cost against the family money 😮 Bottom line is poor people living in poverty have no real incentive to improve their family lives 😮 BTW I 59 and have five kids and seven grandchildren. For me making too much would have meant losing food stamps and medical. Find a way we can let our kids save money without it costing against the family and poverty wont be as prevalent as it is now 😮 I could talk about this in depth but you get the gist of what I was saying 😮

Summit Marmots are great!

Good stuff

Thank you for this video. You offered great views of tremendously beautiful, majestic scenery. Subscribed.

Great job!

*raising hand* 2 questions: 1. If bitcoin is a decentralized organization/program, and the current protocol is to top out at 21 million... since there's no direct regulation, could someone reprogram the system to increase bitcoin above 21 mil? 2. Would returning to the gold standard fix inflation? We would still rely on the Fed, but they wouldn't be able to increase money so arbitrarily.. right? Thanks for the econ lesson, and the shout out!

Nothing like summiting at Kokomo Pass... Thanks for sharing. Stickman CT class 2018 and 2020.

It was me nibbling on the trekking pole. My bad! 😂

You could get a gossamer gear 8th inch pad and cut it down and use it as your frame/padding. I cut mine down and it weighs 2 oz and can add a little bit of warmth if I put it underneath my foam pad on colder nights

This is excellent 👍. I am 50 this year and hope to do this someday.

Great videos👍

good on you for setting yourself up for financial freedom

Great job on the videos. Looking forward to following your journey.

I believe the Leadville Donkey Race (donkey on leash, runner alongside, marathon) is Aug. 4. Tuff run with 13,000' pass. Post pics if you go. Rich, will you go thru that pass? I'd like info on free camping, at high elevation.

nice video and kit! what about a compass?
