    "I want to do it, so I do it scared." Emmy, I'm stealing this as my philosophy for life. Sorry, it's my quote now.🙃

    I'm alaskan. Lived here my entire life and have been camping/hunting in serious bear country. I have to say I'm very impressed with your knowledge of bear safety from brushing your teeth to changing your clothes to eating away from where you sleep. You can't Imagine how many people have bad encounters due to the little things, as bear are naturally curious.
    Thank you for taking me with you on this camping trip. Beautiful country where you are.

    i love how real you are with including that you thought you forgot your tent stakes, showing how you accepted that and improvising, and then following up that you found them. you could have easily just edited that part out but the inclusion of the process is really refreshing bc it shows how sometimes things go wrong when packing up to go somewhere but that it happens and it’s okay :)
    loved this video a lot!!

    New to your channel - nice video! Love how you didn't mess it up with music. You also have a very pleasant and infectious personality. I'm lucky to live in Colorado where there are so many great hiking and backpacking opportunities. BTW, the rock fields you saw aren't a result of avalanches but came about in the process of their formation over the eons (it's why thery're called the Rocky Mountains) ! :) I hope the dog you encountered near the lake wasn't lost and was able to return to its owner. Stay safe out there, Cheebs!

    Hands down I think that video was my favorite so far! I'm legit so hyped for future ones. Someone pointed it out in the live, but the amount of information and delivery of it all was absolutely on the dot. Down to the small bumps in the road. I loved it very much, thank you for the amount of work you put into recording and editing the whole adventure!!

      Coffee is nice. It helps wake me up when I'm camping in the mountains. And it smells like heaven when you're out in the fresh clean air.

    Welcome to the CO Rockies! Thanks for sharing your journey. I would like to share my mistake in the hopes that you (and maybe others reading) might avoid the consequences I suffer. I injured both my knees going over Pawnee Pass in the CO Rockies the year after I moved here. The terrain is so steep there, as it is on so many trails in the Rockies, that with a heavy shoulder-season pack, the downhill section injured one knee, then the other as I compensated poorly. It was on the first day of a 4 day trip. I hobbled through remaining 3 days. I was in my mid 20's then. It still slows me down on strenuous slopes now at 40. **Trekking poles are a reeeeealy good investment if you're planning more trips in CO. **
    Also, I recently added ear plugs to my kit and it's dramatically improved my backcountry sleep. Granted, I would be hesitant to use them when first getting used to an unfamiliar ecosystem. But having spent enough nights in an area to be logically satisfied that there's little danger that an alert ear would avoid, earplugs tune out all the wind gusts, birds, bugs, rodents, etc. that keep my brain from fully drifting off to lala land. Happy adventuring!

    Thank you so much for this. One trick I have for sleeping in cold is a summer buff. I can bring it up and over my nose and mouth; so I am not breathing in cold air. I also hear noises. I pretty much just go back to sleep Very rarely is there any danger and if it is there is nothing you can do. Again thanks.

    I've never been camping, it was never part of my upbringing and I don't live in a place where it's really possible but I loved this! I mention my inexperience because I learned so much from this video! Even having the bear spray in hand when spotting bushes with berries - that makes total sense but I wouldn't have thought of it on my own. Thanks for taking us with you!

    Good video! Thanks for taking us along. That you were able to talk during your arduous hike is a feat in itself, especially since you were up so high. Absolutely beautiful views! I'm still curious about you being so alone in that area and the dog cameos. Owner's must have been so far off from you to let their dog wander off like that. I would've thought you'd hear them at some point. Little suggestion for hiking when hunting going on. On your backpack, an orange flag on a stick couple feet above your head bobbing along would surely catch the eye of anyone far off in the distance. Thank you for your solo commentaries with just the sounds of gravel and waterfalls and a rushing river. Just as you were experiencing it yourself. It's such a nice way to relax and watch without the ever-present background music every video comes with nowadays. I've gotten to the point where I hear one note, and I'm out. I'm over muting. I much prefer hearing the sounds of nature rather than reading about it at the bottom of a screen. And because I didn't have to do that, I liked and subscribed😊!

    Just found your channel, awesome adventures! We have a very similar setup! MSR guardian filter and osprey pack! I also prefer the white noise cuz I'm jumpy when im overnighting by myself too! I once woke up and thought I heard something sniffing my tent and totally freaked out and started yelling and probably nothing but a raccoon or opossum. I was also reading the Revenant book with you know a bear attack in it.. my own mind was my downfall! Looking forward to your adventures in Cali! I also just moved to WY to get closer to the outdoors.

    Aww loved this film, I especially love your positive thought process. It’s surprising how much you have to bring and do because of the wildlife there, so many things to be aware of, thankfully here in the UK we don’t have to worry about anything like that. Beautiful scenery and landscape, I spend a lot of time hiking and wild camping in the Lake District National Park here in the uk and post our adventures on our little channel. Looking forward to more films. 😊

It takes so much effort for a place like this ,, I would have to make it at least a 2 or 3 day outing ,, and besides the hike ,I would have to spend some time fishing , that lake looked so inviting .... then a catch and cook makes most of the pains go away ... Obviously not a beginner ,, you show good skills and reference good tips and advice .... Well done .. Stay Safe and God Bless ...

    Love your videos. You are just honest and real and personable about the joys and challenges of backpacking. This may be indelicate but when you say you have breakfasted and packed up and are ready to return, you leave something out. You may or may not want to mention this but you could say "and I pooped in the trees over there" or something to that effect. It really is an essential part of the morning routine, either before eating or after eating lol!
