Unfortunately I lost my pre filter a few weeks earlier on the trail. Water was pretty good on this trail overall, never bothered to replace it until I got home.
I've been meaning to do a video on this. I've never seen anyone do anything like this this, but I paid an upholstery shop to modify the side pockets on my backpack so I could fit 3 1L smart water bottles on each side, plus trekking poles. for all my desert hikes, and the big water carries.
@@SeekingLost that is a big modification , would love to see a video. I noticed you filter some and take some to filter later. I was wondering how u had the flexibility
Hmm, I checked the link in the video description and it's working on my end. Patreon has been doing some work on their platform recentlly, I wonder if you just hit the link while they were doing some site maintenance. Thanks for the heads up, let me know if it persists on your end!
They say you can hike west to east or east to west. While true if you started with those views ending in the flat arid badlands just seems to me as a let down.
No kidding! Ending at Tumulus Trailhead in the west would be rather uninspiring. Kind of like hiking the CDT southbound... bared wire fence at the Mexico border, or Waterton Lakes in Glacier National Park in Canada... hmm, tough choice.
13:10 - I don't think it's possible for the west coast to ever feel like Florida. Florida is disgusting. No one lives in Florida besides those who have to work outside, everyone else there lives inside with the A/C on. If it felt like Florida, neither you nor your cloths would be so dry. You'd be drenched.
I know, Florida is a different level of humid hellscape. I remember sweating so much there that when it rained, you barely felt any wetter. This day was just a struggle with the heat
Absolutely stunning-thanks for your hard work bringing us along.
Donnie's got the squatch gait down! 🤣
Spectacular. That area is worthy of national monument status, but the locals probably wouldn’t want it.
I love to see another desert person on the trail. This is beautiful to me, too! So many do not appreciate the beauty of the desert.
Desert rats unite 🤘
Rewarding views as you near the end of the ODT. Fascinating topography.
What a good feeling to be here and have these incredible canyon landscapes to hike and end this hike on a high note!
@@SeekingLost We definitely appreciate the videos and keeping up with your current livelihoods.
Thats some of the most stunning scenery I’ve seen. Worth all the sage Kansas trodding!
Worth those miles of sage Kansas, for sure! This was one of my favorite days on trail
Great video! Such beautiful country, and you film it well.
Thank you Robin :)
That water was def a good candidate for prefiltering. Oh welz. Stunning landscape. I can’t wait to get back out there!
Yep it sure would have been the perfect candidate. I lost my pre filter a few weeks earlier on this trip.
Beautiful scenery. Reminds me of E Central Nevada, between Caliente and Pioche. Cathedral Gorge area. Really enjoyed the videos. Great job.
I haven't been out that way yet, but if it looks like this, then maybe I'll check it out sooner!
@@SeekingLostSame jagged rocks, but less Greener. And much hotter!
Correction: 36 miles left in this hike. I ..will be finishing in 3 days lol
Epic scenery! It just doesn't look like Oregon. Hard to believe we are near the end!
This was one of, if the best day, for scenery on the ODT for me. All those canyons and gulches, man what a landscape!
Why aren't you pre filtering your water before using the Sawyer?

Can you show how you carry large water amounts

@@thuggoe If I'm going to filter water later, I'll just carry some dirty water in my 2L platypus bladder, to filter at camp or wherever
@@SeekingLost so you keep the 2l in your pack?

Do you realize that you are walking through the deposits of super volcanic eruptions?
