      YeeHa, it's always great to hear from you, and I appreciate you checking out my latest video. I'm heading to Montana in July with some hommies for a week to film a video on the Beartooth Wilderness and Granite Peak. You ought to join us!!

    I stayed at Thomas Knob Shelter March 6/7th in 80mph winds. It was loud! Glad I opted out of setting up my Tarp that night.

      80mph! That's incredible. I didn't have any way to measure, but I suspect it hit 60 mph while we were there on March 3rd. Would have been comical to try and set up a tent/tarp in that.

      ​@@whistlepig, Actually this year for the first time I have the opportunity to go out hiking/backpacking for several weeks. (If all goes as planned). Maybe we'll meet on a trail somewhere. That would be cool. Anyhow, same to you, I hope you have plenty of hiking to enjoy!​
