I noted awhile ago you made this video but did not have a chance to watch it uninterrupted until this morning. While I was eating breakfast this morning I was able to watch it in it's entirety and really enjoyed it. You did not linger on any one topic too long and the pace and video editing were excellent. An excellent pace being grounded in the moment VS the manic content many other RUclips channels seem to do. It made it feel like I was there with you. Well done!
Always love your videos. Creeks sure are running early this year. Haven't spent a lot of time in the Bonnington area - but would love to visit. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Chris, I appreciate the compliments, excellent fodder to keep me getting out there! And, yes, those creeks would normally be covered right over, but the snowpack is virtually nonexistent this year...been a tough one for the snowgoers!
They need 'a' bridge, because that was a log with a 2x12 nailed on it, haha! I definitely agree, those hard to reach places warrant multi night stays...next time!
Sweet. Nicely groomed thx! I will ride up there on my Fat bike about 4 hr round trip. I’ve had good luck with lighter and longer tabogans placing my pack so the straps stick out. That way you can carry pack and tabogan on your back.
That's a neat idea to keep it all bundled together that way! Before you go riding up, you should know that there's a 3km stretch of skidoo brap brap woop-de-doos which were not fun whatsoever!
LOL You cheated with the SVEA, warming it on the woodstove to pressurize it. You're supposed to go outside and freeze while the SVEA warms and builds pressure!!!! I would have done the same thing if I'd thought of it. I envy you the hut. It looks great. And the views are gorgeous. As to how long I would stay if I could, 'till my food ran out.
Haha, you noticed that bit, eh? I'll preheat that SVEA whenever possible, less waiting around for the pressure to build up on its own...just don't forget it on the stove!
It got down to -8°c (18°f) at night but hovered just below freezing in the day...a few degrees above freezing by the time I got to the truck the next day.
