Hiking 40 Miles In Two Days Without Enough Food | Solo Summer Fastpacking Trip | Ultralight Bivy
8/25/2024 - 8/26/2024 Henry W. Coe State Park - Hunting Hollow - Willson Camp - Pacheco Camp - Mississippi Lake
I intended on taking a chill trip to Lost Spring Camp but while at the trailhead I talked to a mountain biker about water access at Mississippi Lake. He mentioned there's access to water so I switched plans to tackle a goal I've been wanting to accomplish...
To head over to Mississippi Lake for an overnight trip. It's around 18 miles to get there so it would basically be a 40 mile trip in 2 days.
Unfortunately, I forgot to repack food for a longer trip.

He is exactly how he is in his videos. Super cool dude. We pretty much chatted the whole time. I cracked up a lot. It made time go by a lot faster. Thanks for showing me around!

7/21/2024 I've had the og Olympus OMD EM5 micro 4/3 body for 12 years now. With some nice prime lenses sitting on the shelf. I've been itching to get back into photography. Well, more like be able to use the lenses with a body that can shoot 4K video. I just started borrowing a friend's Panasonic GX85 body and impressed with the 4k footage so far. Should be fun pairing with the Panasonic Lumix ...

The Best Backpacking Coffee | Hanging Ear Drip Coffee Bags #backpacking #hiking

7/12/2024 I've been using Lee's Coffee bags for backpacking for some time. They use the hanging ear style portable drip coffee bags which makes them compact and easy to clean up. Perfect for backpacking or hiking. I figured I should pick up my own bags and fill them with some awesome coffee by Carlos.

No Talking Just Hiking & Trail Running | Summer Solo Overnight Fastpacking Training Cut

7/4/2024 There was a Rocky marathon playing on AMC on the Fourth of July. I think I saw Rocky II in the theater with my Dad and Brothers. It brings back a lot of memories. I get inspiration to make videos from music sometimes. I was digging the fight scene music while watching Rocky II so made a training cut from my last trip at Redfern Pond.

We use baby powder
@@stigcc I heard about that and vasoline too. I like Body Glide since it lasts pretty long. I have some Squirrel's Nut Butter in my cart that I eventually want to try. The little tin container looks handy.
Nice videos! I hike Henry Coe Park usually a couple times every month and backpack about 5 or 6 times. I plan on going there this Sunday for a day hike. I do a big solo 5 day trip there into the Orestimba and Robinson Creek areas in spring. Definitely worth the mileage especially if you've never been there. I also have the same backpack you have!
@@Vallco4084 That's awesome. I always end up missing out on applying for the Backcountry weekend. Maybe next year.
senchi designs wash bag for the win, Great hack. aggressive trail but very pretty.
@@stonedapeadventures Thanks for watching! Yeah it's so useful. It's my clothes bag and pillow at times too. Great for prefiltering pond water into the Cnoc bag. Light diffuser. Wash bag. Ditty bag in the shelter. I keep finding new ways of using it.
All great stuff @rodoutdoors Great camera work, amazing scenery, great narrative, all in all I was thoroughly entertained. Enough for a second viewing and maybe more as I believe I turned your video on to fall back asleep at least a couple of times recently. No offense but it's a nice quiet listen as I'm falling back out in the wee hours of the morning. Lol. Hey a view is a view especially if it plays all the way through right? Honestly I consider this and other videos of yours to be like hidden gems revealed to me as bounty as a result of my prospecting in the right places on the vast plains of the internet. I know quality when I see it and this is a really good video. Thanks. Good luck on Whitney. Go dubs.🏀
@@SuperUNKNOWN92 Wow thanks the comment. I'll try to keep doing what I do my way. No worries about falling asleep. I fall asleep to my own videos all the time lol. Tbh, I'm the same when viewing other backpacking trip videos. Sometimes I'm tired and will just listen with the phone near my head and fall asleep to it. It's kind of comforting in a way. I tried to keep that in mind when editing my video. Really appreciate the kind words. 👊
Hi and wow you did well in that heat, I know it’s wet and windy over here but that heat and parched land over there, don’t know if I would enjoy that heat on camps, amazing without proper food, That Ruck sack is it a runners sack as it had no waist belt ? Did you see my filter test video when I discovered my sawyer has failed ? And it’s so little used, Great trip Cheers Adrian
@@northumberlandmountainhopper Thanks for watching. Yeah it was more of a challenge hike than going out for pleasure haha. Yeah it's a budget 30L fastpack. I have my gear list in the description. It's working great. I spent a while looking into packs with the extra sternum strap and runner's style vest. I tried the cheapest one and it's doing the job. Oh wow that's not good. Sawyer is usually pretty reliable if you keep up with back flushing.
"Punk Rock Mania tonight at the Civic Auditorium, featuring headliner band Ass Juice, and opening for them will be Chafing Near The Brown Eye! Tickets still available at the door!" I had to stop mid-video to remind me to add these new phrases to my comment. Now I can finish watching..... NO ICE! Oh man that was soul crushing even for me watching. Great job going that distance and elevation. I guess we know who will be the slow one at Mt. Whitney (me). Great job and great video!
@@outsidewithmike 😂 Yeah I was pretty bummed there was no ice until I took a sip. It was still nice and cold.
that shot at 32:32 is so hilarious lmaooo. The impatient stance along with the unamused sling. It's like a scene from a indie comedy. Such a great shot.
😂

Such a interesting place to explore. Enjoyed watching your video man!
Thanks a lot. I'm just glad I have a place like this so close. Otherwise I have to drive far to go backpacking.
Some say trekking poles make you burn up towards 20% more calories. Not sure if it is worth it, if you have to ration calories. My guess is the old man shuffle is most energy efficient. Also, if you keep to zone 1 (heart rate), you will burn mostly fat which most people have a good amount of (50,000 calories), so I guess you could go many days without eating? Not very pleasant though 😂
It definitely helps with climbs. My knees also don't get wrecked when going down steep sections. I mostly carry them at the middle. The sway gives me a rhythm. It's easy to whip out on uneven sections to save my hips. I don't ever see myself without my trekking poles. It's basically part of me.
@@rodoutdoors Absolutely. I use them as well. Was more thinking of the situation where you had to conserve calories :)
Which app do you use for navigation?
AllTrails. The custom map and recording is in the description.
Your videos have given me the inspiration to go there this weekend. Any recommended routes for a one night? Its going to be my first time. Love your videos, keep up the great content!
@@Shraps I started out doing short trips at the HQ like at Ridge View. Two Oaks and Frog Lake are nice. Lion Spring and Sierra View should have water too.
Congrats on accomplishing one of your goals! Really appreciate these videos. Also I'm a 25yr old athlete, and can confidently say trekking poles are GAME CHANGERS.
Thanks a lot! Trekking poles are essential for me. They're always in my hands so I mark them as worn weight lol.
Beautiful spot for a coffee break. I’ve been seeing a lot more rattlesnakes in Kentucky. Glad you saw him and he was no trouble
Thanks! It's the second one I saw this year. Now I'm wondering how many I pass by without noticing..
All the imagery! 😂🦑
@@GoneFeralWithSquidly I've had better days 😄
Cheers to Rod Outdoors for "telling it like it is!" And for teaching some new tips and euphemisms about the "nether regions"!
@@boundr2107 You're welcome 😁
Dude another great video Rod! I mentioned you in an upcoming video coming out next week, thanks for sharing your adventures from The Fat Guy and His Backpack Channel
@@fatguyhisbackpack5755 ey thanks! Looking forward to it.
Any condensation problems with this Bivy? I'm thinking about getting this one.
@@vegaj.r1754 During the Pacheco Falls trip the foot box might have been a bit damp. No issues the last trip. I have the Argon 90 top too which isn't as breathable as the Argon 67 option.
Epic trip. Thanks for taking us along. Love that bivy / tarp set up. Rattlers on high grass single track... my worst nightmare. 😅 Really well done! Thanks again for posting.
@@highcountrychronicles Ey thanks! It's always nice to escape to Henry Coe. Except when there's rattlesnakes lol. Thinking of doing a quick midweek overnight trip there since I've been itching to get out but might head out to Emigrant Wilderness soon.
it aint easy but you seem to have better luck than me
@@TSiriusz Keep at it! I heard it's been rough lately.
Nice hike! Beautiful area and much different than what I’m used to as far as landscape, etc. I have to get out that way. Coffee with a view. Nice!
@@backpackingadventures4813 Thanks! I should have packed a cold brew with the warmer temps 😅 I've been chasing coffee with electrolytes lately too. I guess paranoid about dehydrating myself or pH imbalance or something.
@@rodoutdoorselectrolytes are smart in the heat with exertion. 👍
Really looking forward to your Whitney hike. When I did it in July 2015, there was a complete white-out about a quarter of a mile from the summit. Couldn't see a thing when I got to the top. I'd like to do it again someday.
Dang that sounds sketchy. Glad you made it back down safe. I hope the weather is nice out there 🤞 I just want to get there really. Hope everything goes smoothly and just try to have a good time with the group. Train as much as I can in the meantime but I'm really looking forward to fishing the days before the hike. Hopefully I can catch something.
@@rodoutdoors Thanks. It got sketchy pretty quickly and seemingly out of nowhere. Definitely one of my more memorable summits, though, despite not getting to see the view. And a good reminder that mountain weather can change quickly. By the time I got back to Trail Camp, the sun was shining, my pants were dry, and no one would've believed a squall had just blown over the summit.
Great vid, love Mt.Madonna! Sprig trail is no joke
Thanks! There's some nice climbs.
Thanks Much for the local hikes. I live in S. San Jose and really enjoy seeing you do some of my own "local haunts" as well as some places that I've only heard of or only considered doing. But also, I enjoy seeing the evolution of your gear as I'm thinking about changes to my own. 👍👍
Thanks I really appreciate that. I would like my videos to show others that they can do what I'm doing. So I try to supply resources that helped me when I was looking around RUclips for help getting started.
Excited for the Whitney hike! Thanks for bringing us with.
@@HikeCalifornia Thanks! I'm not trying to get ahead of myself. I just want to get there lol. Everything else would be a bonus.
@@rodoutdoors Haha relatable. Every step forward I take after I get to the trailhead is found money.
Just got back from another 3 day trip from Crabtree to bear lake - taken the cats there 3 times now, definitely inspired by your trip there last year. Looking forward to the Whitney vlog!
@@Prasannathani Nice. I want to hear that way really soon.
