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!
Great video Cheebs! That was some serious elevation gain in a short distance, nice job! Such a beautiful area, hoping to backpack in Colorado as well sometime. Looking forward to your next one!
29:19 I've not gone by myself before. I'm working on building my physical conditioning to haul my gear. So anxious about going alone but your videos are giving me courage.
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!
I just found your channel and I enjoyed watching this video. I’m curious, the dog in the video at your campsite, was it lost or was it with a camper there? I subscribed and look forward to your next video.
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!!
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!
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.
cheebs, this video was so awesome to watch! i came for the gorgeous views and to vicariously enjoy a backpacking trip but your honesty about the ups and downs of the experience (glad it's not just me that gets a lil scared on alone trips) and your explanations were my favorite part. thank you for the gorgeous views, thank you for the education, thank you for bringing us along!!!
Hey Cheebs! Davey again. Second video of yours I've watched, and as enjoyable as the first. Was a good call to sub to your channel. Keep it rolling, the world needs awesome attitudes like yours!!!!
What a fun adventure! Learned something new about the triangle method and removing clothes that might have food scents. Thanks so much for sharing as always!
Really enjoyed this video, was like I was backpacking with you. 😅 - Bear spray alone wouldn’t be enough, I’d need a handgun for peace of mind. See any Sasquatch
Great video, I really enjoy your sense of adventure and thoughtful personality! “I want to do it so I do it scared” terrific words of wisdom, you should put them on a t-shirt! Thanks eh. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
One question - how much degree (temperature) was in that day? Tent not for those location, I thoud... , too cold, You very strong and honor (and beatifull too) girl) I was Discribed!
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!
HI Cheebs, I am Claire, I really enjoyed your whole video, you are such a lovely calm person on camera and really good at filmmaking :) Happy New Year, from England :)
You seem pretty knowledgeable about hunting. Just curious if you hunt? That one comment was right though, brown and white are colors a hunter looks for when hunting. Deer have white on their chests and belly and some on their tails, and behind.
Looks like a beautiful trail & camping areas . I have a belgian malinois he camps & trail runs with me love haveing him & good company & can also alert of possible danger in the night , if i was hikeing id definetly have my 10mm pistol id rather have it & not need it rather to not have it & need it & would make me feel super confident in any unwanted predators or any type of weirdos that could possibly show up . 😊
Glad you're so wise about bears and your trip is heavenly but the only problem for me would be the always have to look over my shoulder for Bears but you're doing good 👍 I couldn't do it cuz of the fear of bears.
Hello! New subscriber here. You popped up on my feed and I love this video and your style. You are very authentic. You did a great of capturing the scenery at the lake and made we want to visit that spot. I completely understand about what you are saying about the unrest at night. It really is a risk vs reward thing. Great video!
Bonjour Cheebs (!).. Génial et Magnifique !! Cette nature est de toute beauté, préservons-là ! Merci pour ce trek 😊 ( petit message de France). Ah et merci pour les mots en français 👌!!
Ngl it kinda makes me a bit upset to hear some forest ranger is out catching bumble bees with nets. Surely that is going to traumatize the bumble bee somehow and risk it getting hurt somehow.
Your on a hike and no one is around apparently, but you randomly see a domesticated Dog walking the trail and you don't think that is weird or a sign someone is around ?
These vids are amazin.. Well done! Always wanted to trek in the US, when i go travelling for my two year trip I'm gonna love this.. The UK here is okay but not as spectacular.. Scotland and parts of Wales are good though, but still not as vast 💎.. Not much to trek at my summer home in Monaco sadly 🙄
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.
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!!
Good video ,,, Beautiful location ... 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 ... ... Have to subscribe to see what's ahead ..
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.
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. 😊
Thanks Cheebs 👍🏻 Appreciate you my friend 🙏🏻Stay safe and take care. As a backup, you can use branch sections as stakes. You did awesome! 👊🏻 Have a Wonderful holiday 🎄🙂
From the very beginning, this had the feel of a travel show on PBS. Great work Cheebs!
LOL i love that!!
The views are so pretty 🥹
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'm so happy you were able to learn something from the video!! Thanks for sharing! Made my day!
Those creek sounds are just... so beautiful.
Such incredible vistas you get to enjoy
As always very wholesome video 😊 and I learned a lot from it, also beautiful landscape. I loved it.
These videos really make me excited to try it on my own
"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 loved this!! I'm inspired to go out into the wild! Thanks for thr great video Cheebs😊
Awesome 👌
Such amazing views and looked very peaceful!
Cool video, I think you did great. Thanks for tips my friend and be safe. I am going to subscribe
Great video! Loved seeing the bear canister and the tips about using your boiler to make a hot water bottle!
Greetings beckoning you from Uganda 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 🇺🇬 Uganda East Africa
Great video Cheebs! That was some serious elevation gain in a short distance, nice job! Such a beautiful area, hoping to backpack in Colorado as well sometime. Looking forward to your next one!
You showed up as a suggestion in my feed and I’m all in! Great video. Well done!
What a great overnight trip! Thanks for sharing!
ur a genius i love the breakfast skillet its my fave and i never used hot sauce on it i’m definitely doing that now
29:19
I've not gone by myself before.
I'm working on building my physical conditioning to haul my gear. So anxious about going alone but your videos are giving me courage.
You're very informative 😊, like your video. I look forward to seeing more so hello from Southern Cal.
This video is so so good!!
Thanks, Dan!!!
Always love your camping videos lets go!!!!
Awesone video!!
Don't be embarrassed, these things happen.. great way to improvise...
Your jacket is very beautiful

Nobody needs tent stakes. Rocks FTW.
Knorr make some great food… So many different choices
Do you have a garmin or a whistle? I just realized I didn’t notice it on the front of your pack!
use soft earplugs. Zero weight comfortable and blocks those noises out there. Kevin
That pack looks super heavy
شرمنده حانم کاری نمی شی کرد بورد باخت امین
บิวตี้ฟูล🎉❤
Fusil et calibre 40 no problème
Bear sprays here in Sweden are illegal. You need a weapon license and a permit from the police. It's weird >_>
The marmots were talking
Rugged😊😊😊😊

Everything was fine until she kissed the dog on the lips. Sorry why do people do that?! Ewwww.
I'd carry a side arm though.
Hands down I think that video was my favorite so far! I'm legit so hyped for future ones.

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.
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.

Stay safe out there, Cheebs!
can you share the spot where you start the trail?
I'm alaskan. Lived here my entire life and have been camping/hunting in serious bear country.

Thank you for taking me with you on this camping trip. Beautiful country where you are.
LOL @ so I do it scared!
Love it! Nothing like getting out of your comfort zone

Love how informative this video is, how you are picking your spot to camp, not just throwing your pack down and deciding wherever
Cheebs, this was so good! What a beautiful area. The thought process behind picking a campsite was enlightening!
First one of these I've watched but great video and looks like it was a great experience!
Hey Cheebs! Davey again. Second video of yours I've watched, and as enjoyable as the first. Was a good call to sub to your channel. Keep it rolling, the world needs awesome attitudes like yours!!!!
What a fun adventure! Learned something new about the triangle method and removing clothes that might have food scents. Thanks so much for sharing as always!
Love this! Cheebs you’re inspiring! Love “do it scared” ❤
Woooow amazing mountain vlog experiences (mis cheebs)💖💖💖
من آدم فوروش نیستم آدمی بعدم نیستم بخاتری امچون خانما کی ام شهورو کلک بزن ام کسای دیگره این کاروکردم

Nature queen Cheebs observes her domain!
Seriously, I'm in awe that you're able to do these outdoor trips, and I love watching these videos!
Good evening. Meeka would like to know why did you not take your puppers with you? Thank you for sharing your adventure. Stay safe and have fun.
I did not know that about Aspens. Very cool information and great channel.
Vicariously I camp via your wonderful videos Cheebs! I enjoy and learn so much from them - thank you!
Great video, I really enjoy your sense of adventure and thoughtful personality! “I want to do it so I do it scared” terrific words of wisdom, you should put them on a t-shirt! Thanks eh. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Love all the practical advice sprinkled in so naturally. Good thing the views are worth those killer switchbacks!
HI Cheebs, I am Claire, I really enjoyed your whole video, you are such a lovely calm person on camera and really good at filmmaking :) Happy New Year, from England :)
I'm lazy, I pour the hot water in the knorr sides and let them soak. I don't have to clean the jet boil afterwards
honestly smart, im doing that next time for sure.
من از کسی تو چی درست میکنم ازتو هم خوشگلا جوانا استش روزی ۵۰ تا من این نو خاستم تا شما از کلک بازی کی روی کسی کنین بالی خودی شما تامین شد
Do you mind telling where/location in Colorado this trail is? Always looking for new places to hike n backpack
Great adventure n information Cheebs 👌
Well, do not watch the TV show called "These Woods are Haunted." I enjoy your videos and the pictures you share.
You seem pretty knowledgeable about hunting. Just curious if you hunt? That one comment was right though, brown and white are colors a hunter looks for when hunting. Deer have white on their chests and belly and some on their tails, and behind.
Hey! nice vid, how big is your backback? how many litters? Thanks
Looks like a beautiful trail & camping areas . I have a belgian malinois he camps & trail runs with me love haveing him & good company & can also alert of possible danger in the night , if i was hikeing id definetly have my 10mm pistol id rather have it & not need it rather to not have it & need it & would make me feel super confident in any unwanted predators or any type of weirdos that could possibly show up . 😊
Hello, my name is Gary. I watch your show for the first time. Very nice video like to be a friend on your channel Gary.
I am looking for a gift for my girlfriend and she loves the colour orange. What make and model is your puffy jacket? 😅
Glad you're so wise about bears and your trip is heavenly but the only problem for me would be the always have to look over my shoulder for Bears but you're doing good 👍 I couldn't do it cuz of the fear of bears.
Awesome Video! Do you like the Sea to Summit liner? I love their dry bags. Colorado looks so nice!

Génial et Magnifique !! Cette nature est de toute beauté, préservons-là ! Merci pour ce trek 😊 ( petit message de France).
Ah et merci pour les mots en français 👌!!
a lovely window to watch after the busy and nature filled morning. Love your camping vlogs so much!
Y girl, do u do it ??? What trail ????
Who's dog ??? I love trail dog's .... what brand of fettuccine did you have???
Ngl it kinda makes me a bit upset to hear some forest ranger is out catching bumble bees with nets. Surely that is going to traumatize the bumble bee somehow and risk it getting hurt somehow.
Cheebs ol' girl !!! I'm a BIG fan bag liners. Soooo good for u n bag hygiene !!! Not to mention cozy !!😊
Wonderful video Cheebs!!
Your passion of nature and camping is something that I wish I could bottle up! The scenery, the education, the vibes. Excellent video Cheebs!
This was so sweet of you to say, thank you
I have a passion for nature too. I love hiking and camping too. It is so quiet when you're alone.
Your on a hike and no one is around apparently, but you randomly see a domesticated Dog walking the trail and you don't think that is weird or a sign someone is around ?
Can't believe some people do this for fun.🙄
This was great! I'm so tempted to do some solo hiking and camping and videos like these really help boost my confidence lol
These vids are amazin.. Well done! Always wanted to trek in the US, when i go travelling for my two year trip I'm gonna love this.. The UK here is okay but not as spectacular..

I'm loving your channel! Which Nemo tent do you have?

Just a little advice on your tent pegs. I always put it in my tent bag. Either down beside or rolled inside my tent.
Using the old school MSR water filter
Thanks Cheebs 👍🏻 Appreciate you my friend 🙏🏻Stay safe and take care. As a backup, you can use branch sections as stakes. You did awesome! 👊🏻 Have a Wonderful holiday 🎄🙂
