    Our family loves to watch adventure and quest videos of backpacking...especially to places we may never be able to visit. I know the views are usually less than gear videos, but the effort is greatly appreciated. Please keep doing these!

    Eric ... Thanks for sharing the video ... When you share these types of videos I (we) get to vicariously go backpacking with you ... The scenary was beautiful ... Kovu's antics made me smile ...

    Eric, what I love about this is, it’s just honest backpacking and the enjoyment of nature. Personal with a touch of vulnerability. Kristi and Kovu stole the show.

    Great to see you both take this departure and capture some quality time together, Im sure everyone would love to see more of these especially as camping season begins!
    The set up of shots, constantly being mindful of aesthetically pleasing scenes you may want to capture can take a lot of time, but its great to have these videos in the end for personal memories and a little nudge for anyone watching to get outdoors and enjoy the scenes for themselves. Amazing video thanks for sharing your adventure !

      Eric- as much as I wish ‘m a lucky winner, I think someone’s hacked your account. I received an email from “RUclips” with your profile pic saying that I’m the lucky winner based on my comment.
      Thought you might like to know.
      Btw- had to watch the vid for a 3rd time. It’s just that good!

    Thanks for sharing! I love this style video as well as your other types. It would be nice to follow up this type of video with a gear review of everything we saw - why you picked specific pieces for this particular trip, what worked/didn't work (if any), things you may have regretted bringing/things you wished you brought. I would also like to hear your partner's thoughts on the trip and gear!

    Beautifully shot video Eric. I loved the shots of the mountain goats up there. Once you crack the code on getting views on hiking film, you let me know ok? haha I filmed 50 episodes all across America last year with some of these being the first time ever someone has professionally filmed these locations, aka Ice Lake, Grandeur Peak, Blue Lakes, Red Mountain No.3, Sister Twin Peaks the list goes on and on, with my final 3 episodes going up soon I've really realized since hiking films dont have conflict they need to be silent and peaceful or dangerous and story-driven. Nothing in-between at least to captivate a large audience which really makes sense why ski touring and climbing videos do much better... conflict and danger.

    Hi Eric- we are looking for trips in MT and this looked spectacular! Can you say the trail info and was this an out and back or part of a loop? Also what pack are you using for your dog? And I had to laugh at his antics- ours also ends up sleeping on us in the tent 😊

    • @greasemonkey4god

      Hey. That’s a mountainsmith k9 pack. I love the ruffwear pack also. Definitely stay away from the cheaper ones!!!

    • @BackpackingTV
      @BackpackingTV  Год назад +1

      We went to Leigh Lake, which can be quite popular, but we were there right after the snow freed up so it was nice and quiet. And yeah, Mountainsmith K9 pack. It's decent. I think we want to try out the Ruffwear option.

    • @greasemonkey4god
      @greasemonkey4god Год назад +1

      @@BackpackingTV I have the ruffwear approach and I feel like it balances better then some of the cheap ones I’ve tried.

    • @erindewhirst2044
      @erindewhirst2044 Год назад

      Thanks for trail info! We are currently doing our favorite PNW Olympic/Cascades hikes as the snow melts before they get busy!
      We use the Ruffwear Palisades pack for our girl, Cora- built same as your dog. LOVE the detachable saddle bags that leave behind their 3point awesome harness. Great flexibility and dials in a great fit. She carries her food/bowl and sleep system very comfortably.
      Would love a backpack with your dog video!
