Backpacking the Great Burn

- Somehow this managed to be a great trip, despite abandoning one plan and the second leading to a nightmare bushwack. Love this area and can't wait to come back to explore further!

Thanks for taking us along sir!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
Awesome hike! Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
Looks like some good Type 2 fun!!
You got that right! Edging on Type 3 😂😢
Love those majestic cedars! Your bushwack reminded me of a trip I did in the Selway Crags a few years ago. 😬
Oooh, I've been tempted many times to explore the Crags, but was detered by fears of bushwhacks!
This was certainly an "off script" adventure for you for sure. Kudos for your off trail navigating! Guessing though there were a few times you were wishing this had been a float rafting adventure with all the heat and sparse water sources endured on this trek. I'm hoping that in 50 years or so some backpackers will be hiking that same area and marveling at all the new forest that's sprung up to replace the burned out trees. At least that's been my thoughts when cruising the trails of the southern Appalachians that were clearcut in the early 1900s. Loved the reward, always been a fan of Igloo since my days on the farm with my dad.
Thanks John, definitely Type 2 fun leading to good stories when I'm old(er)! I like your visualization for getting through the burned areas; certainly need some psych tricks to endure at times. 😉
great video. you sure had to adapt to trail conditions and vague mapped trails. i enjoy your practical narration of your hiking videos. no loud music just plain natural beauty and straight forward description as it happens to you. thanks for these quality films.
Thanks so much for this feedback! Helps me a ton to know that this style is appreciated.
Great video. this is why I always have my wood saws and pruners etc with me, so when i come across places like that I trim up some dead fall and brush, add some flagging tape and the theory is . is that if everyone does a luttle bit the trails stay good. some great mountains there for sure.
Great theory and noble of you. Thanks!
@@ShastaBubba I have been clearing trails in Alberta for about 28 years now. and i dont seem to be getting any younger, I may have to get one of those electric chain saws , my head says im 20 but my joints etc dont seem to agree,
@@davebloggs I hear that! Keep on hiking!!
Oh man, I spent the last couple day climbing over, crawling under and around blowdown, sucking in smoke in 99' temps...whooped my butt for sure!...Did I have fun?...maybe, ask me later!...LOL...30:15 looks to be Buckbrush an evergreen ...your one tough hombre amigo...woods
Type 3 fun: sucks while you're doing it, sucks while you're remembering it. 😂 Thanks Woods!
I would have hated that bushwhack. You definitely took the road less traveled. Do you think there's an app that could have been more effective for you for navigation?
Certainly Caltopo or Gaia would have solved my problems, but I'm still resistant to carring a phone in the woods. Usually not a problem with paper maps, but an app would have made the last-minute shift a non issue.
Great video! You definitely took the hard way! If you don't have it. There is an extremely accurate map of The Great Burn made by Cairn Catographics. You can even download it to your phone. It's got that rough trail you took on it marked as secondary trail, low maintenance. You definitely verified it. Beautiful scenery shots you got even with the smoke. Thanks for sharing. Hike on!
Pete...I hope the physical map is better than the Avenza app. It's pretty lame.
Thanks and appreciate the tip. I love their maps and have bought every one I can find (even the Rattlesnake; although I doubt I'll ever hike there)! Somehow the Great Burn map slipped past me. Happy Trails!
@@brhino1017 Hey Bryan. I thought they both worked. The print is small on the physical map, so using the app was easier on my eyes. What didn't you like about it?
@@pilowespo I just figured the Avenza app out. Some of the trails are missing. It doesn't seem to be interactive or user friendly. I'll stick with GAIA. How come you haven't posted for awhile? Miss you vid!
@brhino1017 August is when I do the majority of my hikes because that's when I use my vacation time. The rest of the year, I mostly just stay close to home, so there's not much to make a video of. Hopefully, I'll have some good adventures in the next 5 weeks to post. Do you have any suggestions for hikes? 3-4 day type.
Did you see any Elk?
Not a hint. Just that mule deer who pronked away like he was mocking how easy it is to bushwhack!
