  • @skmarrama
    @skmarrama Год назад +30

    Let me start out by saying how beautiful that area was!! This area was the bottom of the ocean at one time and you can see it in those rock formations. When I moved out to Utah to be near grandkids, I found I was constantly drinking water. I keep a case of water on every floor of my home. Many hikers carry a pack with a built in water pouch. Out here, always carry double what you think you’ll need. So glad you and Maxim could explore this together!

    Former desert dweller here. Thank you for pronouncing "Nevada" correctly! Don't sleep in washes! If there's an unexpected rain shower, you'll drown or lose your gear. Amazing, amazing drone shots! What an epic adventure. thanks for taking us along! We're headed out into the mountains to hike into the burn zones today to see what's left. You're my morning inspiration :)

    I come from the east coast and lived there, both in US and Ontario, for over 40 years. Beautiful places there, for sure, as XB's videos show. BUT, I moved out West 30+ years ago and have had the great privilege of spending time in the mountains and deserts of America and I have to say that they are of another order of magnificence. The eastern geography and flora are, to be honest, very repetitive. But out west, endless variety. For one example, after 5 trips to Death Valley, I am still awed by it. Stunning, no matter how often I am there.

On one of our first trips, we also ran out of water. Now we use hydration bladders & also carry extra water in plastic bottles. Our hikes are now built around how much water we can carry based on a litre of water per person per hour more or less.
