I joined my good friend Will for his annual birthday hike. Let's just say this trip didn't quite go as planned. Will was incredibly patient with me with how I was feeling.

That's interesting that your symptom of fatigue started in the Sawtooths because Dixie Homemade Wanderlust was recently in the Sawtooths and had bad fatigue and elevated heart rate. Could there be a certain bacteria in the water there or insect bite that got you both? I live in ID so those details stood out to me.
Still an epic trip! Gorgeous scenery.
Cool trip even though the 10K threshold was getting you. Kristy has the same symptoms when she get up above 10K. Not really altitude sickness but on the verge of it. Still looks like you managed to see some awesome scenery and catch plenty of fish. So awesome. Glad Will's phone was found. That would have been horrible especially if he was using to capture the trip on his phone camera. Fun to watch the adventure. Have a great day.
Tarptent DR 2p Ultra tent. New pack. New Nemo pad. New hoody you are sporting.
New Items:
Squak Mountain Co Gridded Hoodie
backpack
chair
tent
I love my Squak Mountain Hoodie, very comfortable
PS: For high HR, sit rest hydrate take more breaks, and at the beginning of a long break go take a #2, will cause your body to vagal down and slow your HR.
Sorry you weren't feeling great Devin. It happens though. I had a similar experience at the weekend in the Peak District in UK and am still trying to recover.
Many congrats on going full time btw. I really enjoy your content. I also can't wait to get my new Waymark Embr and do a review on it. Keep up the great work mate.
Nice to see you and Will out. That scenery was amazing and its always a plus when the fish are biting too!
It's good to see Will out there with you!
Will is good people!
I feel that. We’re new getting into hiking, and boy were not prepared for how rough it was going to be lol
I had to quit my September 6 Mount Langley hike a little above Army Pass, at the start of the cairn route to the summit, which starts at about 12500 feet elevation. I’ve done Langley before. The slog to the summit is slow work, and I was feeling the altitude earlier than usual… probably due to the low pressure in general-disturbed atmosphere and thunderstorms in the area the whole day.
I turn 50 this month. I’ll hope for better luck next year. I may have another 10-12 years of this kind of hiking available to me, and next year should be possible in better weather. Usually I get hammered by altitude at 13200 or so. By that point, I’d just push through it to the summit. Or get a script for Diamox. 😉
Not to scare you but just as a precautionary I would consider a stress test/ekg. We want you around and enjoying hiking for a long time! Take care!
Thanks! It's actually something I've considered doing. :)
Wow Devin, quite the adventure! Sorry, you’ve been having trouble on your last couple hikes. Did you happen to get the “you know what”? Hopefully not. Either way, may be worth talking to a doc about it The fatigue. Just out of interest, what did your heart rate get up to you when climbing the pass? you have some cool gear there, that backpack has a really interesting feature. It’s too bad it doesn’t fit real well for you. maybe some more fiddling will help out? I was just watching a recent video from Dixie, she ended up having to use the SOS function of her Garmin. I was crossing my fingers that wasn’t going to be your fate as well. Glad you got out of there ok. 🤘
Tent, chair, fleece, OV shorts
Great video Devin, unfortunately i missed this when you posted. Great quality as usual, hope all is well with you and the family.
Thank you!
I believe the new gear items are ... The mid-layer that you are wearing, the backpack, the tent, and the sleeping pad ...
Great video! Glad you were able to find the phone. Too bad about not feeling great, but at least you were mindful enough to make a safe decision for yourself. Hope Will posts a video - it’s been a while.
Thanks! Yeah he ought to, as he did film the trip too.
I’m so close to pulling the trigger on a Squak fleece.
That rei helix is my go to now
Oh man, so relatable. I’ve definitely been on trips when my body said no more! But man, that was some beautiful places. Maybe I need to come out and hike in your neck of the woods!
Beautiful sunset!
Wow, you have good taste in gear. Lol. I have the REI Helix and its great. I also have a single wall ripoff of the Tarp Tent Rainbow (Naturehike Taga 2) I like it and when the time comes will consider upgrading to the real deal. Too bad you weren't feeling great on the trip!
Stuff happens, way to make the best of the situation. Always enjoy watching a trip into the Uintas. Hope you figure out what's going on in the body.
Someone's probably already emailed the correct guesses so I'll just put them right here.
1. Tent
2. Backpack
3. Sleeping pad
4. Grid fleece hoodie
I enjoyed every second of the footage of this adventure. Hiking above 8,000' is definitely something the bod isn't use to.
I especially appreciated the absence of "eating" footage.
Everyone has off days when out in the boonies. Gotta listen to what your ole bod is telling you.

4 guesses
Backpack, fleece, OV shorts, and watch.
Ah good guesses, but not quite correct. I've had the shorts in a previous trip video and gear list, as well as the watch I've had for the past year. The fleece was a great observation. :)
Does not sound like altitude sickness at all. Maybe waterborne?
Absolutely brilliant filming and storytelling bud! What a fantastic piece of content! 👏👏👏
That looked rough going. Sucks when you're not feeling well. That heartrate is pretty alarming. Take care.
Thank you!
I do not recognize the pack for sure or the tent? The ov jacket is new as well... i enjoyed the vid but sorry you didn't feel well...
Clearly the new items of gear aren't the trekking poles you didn't bring that would have made your stream crossings much easier and safer.
I believe the watch is the new item
I've have the watch for just over a year. :)
@@BackcountryExposure Oops
Nice video. Love trip videos. Looks like you’re trying out some new gear:
Big Agnes pack
Tarptent DW
REI Helix pad
Alpaca hoodie
Thank you!
I hate getting a couple miles out and thinking "this sucks", knowing that you MUST get yourself out, because no one's going to hike it for you! Gotta just suck it up, do what needs to be done and know when to turn around. USE TREKKING POLES. Also, wear your Zoleo on your body, not your pack. If you lose your pack, then you've lost your insurance.
Back pack, tent, pullover hoodie, and sleeping pad?
You may have some kind of bug/flu. Or...you might need Diamox, prescribed by a doctor for folks traveling to high altitude environments. Altitude sickness can develop ar relatively lower elevations if not acclimated. I've no personal experience with it. I believe you take it before traveling high, and certainly before a person is experiencing symptoms. Talk to a Doctor and ATB
Sorry you weren’t feeling a bit better. Always a struggle to make a bailout decision when you’re out with a friend. After spending 5 hours watching GearSkeptic videos on back country water treatment, seeing cattle made me wonder. How you were sourcing and treating water on your hike?
Will is an awesome friend and he deserves a lot of credit for putting up with my poor attitude at times. ha.
I just get water from any of the streams or lakes. Even if I know there are cows in the area. I ought to look into the gearskeptic videos. Not familiar with them.
Think you would find them useful. They are pretty dense. It would be great if you could do a video dumbing them down and conveying the essentials.
170 bpm? wow. No wonder you were struggling. I thought Dixie, Homemade Wanderlust was bad and she got choppered out !. Next trip lucky ! A
What's odd is 170 isn't all that abnormal for me. I do have a benign heart murmur, but don't know how that affects my heart rate overall.
I just finished watching that. Glad Devins issue wasn’t so serious.
the what mountains?
Life and trails are not all always good time curated experiences. Times get hard, so do trails. Thanks for the reality of backpacking and well done. You were safe and made great decisions, that is what counts.
Skyline Trail Shorts that you’re wearing.
They are awesome!
Devin, you may want to check to see if you have an irregular heartbeat.
Hey, don’t they use Viagra for altitude sickness in some parts of the world😂
Ha!
.. Only when you forget your trekking poles ..
I just cannot imagine the cruelty of catch and release fishing. You're subjecting fish to pain for nothing more than your sense of accomplishment. You are not eating them, they are not serving as sustenance for you, so you are injuring fish and inflicting suffering on them just to serve your ego.
Allsop is a fun one! I think I was in the 60+ fish landed there. There is supposedly, according to Dan Ransom, a trail on the Norice side of that pass you climbed. Sorry you weren’t feeling well. It’s all part of the experience. Just glad it was not a trip ender. 🥾⛰️
There is still bits of the old sheepherder trail up there but a lot of it has eroded away, especially coming right off the pass. It was much more prominent when I found it my my first time up there 5 or 6 years ago.
