Got to say since I stumbled across your channel, I can’t stop watching. I’m humbled at how good you guys are, physically and at editing. And yet you go about it in a friendly non Egotistical Way. Keep up the good work.
Hands down my favorite channel. Pure adventuring with good friends, love it! Value is certainly not measured in subscribers in this case. Keep sharing your great adventures. I’ll continue virtually tagging along.
Just started watching, agree 100%. The quality of the content is absolutely exceptional, filming, production and the level of the adventures. Just brilliant
Totes, I've been binging these, reminds of old rando-ventures my buds used to do. This reminds me of youtube before it became RUclips, fairly genuine and not just all about getting clicks and $. Also, love how it's not edited for commercials and junk like the Animal Planet series. Just hope they never get tempted to do risky things just for the clicks, not worth it and it's already awesome without. Keep having fun dudes, don't worry too much about the filming it (that said some of your footage is great and the checkins are kind of fun).
Always love the genuine commentary and banter. The winds are beautiful and "soul sucking" and remote and hellish all wrapped into one. I understand your mixed emotions as you prepare for day three. Great, great channel.
love these videos so much. I was getting mad at Blake when he started complaining after he said he would not complain the rest of the day. so amazing what you do
You do the best job on youtube of capturing the Highs and Lows of a true Wilderness Experience . . . . and I feel like I am right there with you guys . . . not as some boing tourist, but as a member of your TEAM . . . .
I think I'm just a sick as you guys. Hearing you talk about all the tough parts of the trip just made me think about how much I wish I was there too! I love that you go to such amazing places and push yourselves so hard. If you ever want to add another guy, I'm in!
Just like most things, if you focus on how far away the finish line is you may ruin the rest of the trip. But man, I don't know why no one is crying. That's brutal country.
Fantastique! Very real and intense - exceptional. I skied Aiguille Argentiere in '87. Could see over to the terrain you crossed in an amazingly compressed time frame. Yikes - totally! I don't know if it's OK to mention ads - but you're getting relevant ones. Glad you could get there before the virus. All the best and stay safe!
Keep the videos coming! they are entertaining and fun to watch. thanks for what you guys do ! if you guys had a tv show i would watch it every week....
Thanks for the personal element to the story. Too many videos have great shots and appropriate music without any understanding of the hardship. Thanks for helping us appreciate the stoic nature of your trip.
Way to go guys! Can't wait to see the rest of the trip. I tried getting Gannett in a single day this July, and got to Bonney pass and felt exactly like Blake. I'd been nauseous for hours. We decided that discretion was the better part of valor and turned back, still getting a solid 40 miles in after about 17 hours. So much snow this year!

As an old traditionalist, I'm often puzzled by using trail running shoes for tough snow and rock terrain. The misery of the all the snow travel on this adventure would been reduced some by boots that facilitated plunge stepping and better control for sliding on snow.
Outstanding video work, Spectacular Scenery and Wildlands! Waaaayyy too much negativity, though, which I don’t understand at all. Backpacking is arduous and challenging on the very BEST of days, right? It’s part and parcel of the entire experience. Make the best of it. Or, alternatively, don’t leave your house to venture outside, like, ever. Your call. Glad that you’re all ok and you had an awesome adventure!
Hunger because you couldn't pack a lot of food for such a long trip? What are your favorite foods when you have to maximize calorie density for these kinds of trips?
No such thing as fast and heavy. Save 5 lbs of group weight and just share a 3 person tarp shelter, no floor. Can't believe there using freestanding tents on a route like that.
Jason Grosser. Yes. We find positivity and enthusiasm to be really annoying and grating. Thanks for watching. If any of your friends enjoy negativity let them know about us ;)
Blake's the best at articulating what we all think sometimes when the going gets really tough, but don't want to admit it out loud.

Blake is the man, he always has something going on, which always adds to the adventure. All of your adventures are true death marches.

Love your humor. Y'all are an interesting group of interchangeable good attitudes!
An honest thank you to you guys for being normal human beings and not being the typical outdoor elitists or hippie dirtbags

Wow, this is really a beautiful area. Btw, the real fun with suncups starts when you're on skis :).
Appreciate you fellas showing the gorgeous, the good, the bad and the ugly. A lot of trip vids make out like Wind River is all gorgeous scenery.

Thanks! We try our best to capture the trip and all of Blake's complaining. That's why we bring him along. He's the reality check.

You people are my current addiction!! Yeahhhhhh
Three insanely intense fellows. Is there anything you guys CAN'T do? Obviously not!
Second the motion: hell would be an endless downhill talus slope traverse.
Love that you guys keep it real! Type-1.5 fun for sure.
Enjoy watching their adventures in spectacular surroundings. Wish they would mention time of year. My guess is that this film was made in July.
You guys are bad ass. Every adventure you guys go on are crazy epic
Thanks!
You guys rock!
No bears? I used to live in Lander. Great to see this vid. Well done guys.
Great videos boys - thanks! It would be great if you could include the date of the hikes which might help others in trip preparation. Hike on!
Good point. I'll try to put the dates in the description.

It's always worth it in retrospect

Welp. This is on the list now. I mean, maybe half of this...
The Winds are definitely an ass-kicker!
Y'all, next time you hike and know it's gonna be cold, put your shoes in your sleeping bad. It'll keep the ice and cold off of them
Blake............ 😥😪😢
The guy who doesnt say much at all, I still see him, the other guy disappeared into thin air...

Anywhere to find GPS data for the route you used?
This looks more like an endurance test in military style than a regular hike. Which of you is responsible for the route selection?
Roger Pettersson It was my (Blake) idea and then Aaron got on board. Danny is always up for a suffer fest. We bring all this pain on ourselves
Mediocre Amateur And we like to see you suffer, we expect nothing less from you 😊 keep up the good work!
Love your adventures. Also, I'm moving to Utah soon. Can we be friends?
How do you fit all your camping gear in those rucksacks? Im guessing tiny tents and no roll mats for a start?
Yeah everything is small often at the cost of comfort.
Hunger because you couldn't pack a lot of food for such a long trip? What are your favorite foods when you have to maximize calorie density for these kinds of trips?

soo you guys decided to make trip videos of you guys wining and complaining the whoooole time...
Jason Grosser. Yes. We find positivity and enthusiasm to be really annoying and grating.

Aaron never seems to get tired.
