I have been thinking about adding a couple of hmx rods to my arsenal . I love the Daiwa presso rods. I wish they came with a full grip. I have 3 okuma guide select pro rods and they are very light. The new vanford reels seem like the perfect reel. Unfortunately, they are $249. The 2024 2000 vanford is on a 1000 body. Seems like a winner.

I think the cast master needed to be included in there . I have caught a lot of trout on the brass and red

Appreciate the video! Thank you! That's a lot of gear to haul, and I do appreciate you're hunting in the coastal mountains. At 59 years old, I just don't have it in me anymore to carry a heavy loaded pack like that for hours upon hours away from the the truck while grouse hunting. But I strongly prefer a longer walk in the woods (or a series of shorter walks) over the idea of a 4-wheeler or truck, so that means finding a lighter-weight set of solutions. So for my pared-down "Old Guy kit", it's a 20-ga O&U, a lightweight Bird and Game knife for field-dressing the birds, a bushcraft/survival knife (Terava Jaakaripuuko 110 with Boltaron sheath and attached ferro rod), a small freezer bag of cotton balls soaked in vaseline for firestarter, a lighter, a canteen, a Browning upland vest, 15 to 20 shotshells, a snack and a wrap for lunch, a few freezer bags for grouse meat (big enough to allow wing to remain attached for identification per law), a merino wool long-sleeve shirt, a merino commando-style sweater (LL Bean) if cooler temps, and merino socks, light hiking/hunting boots, a Garmin GPS/In-Reach, iPhone, keys, wallet, and that's about it. I really try to avoid hunting in the rain unless it's going to be a very light rain shower only. I really do still need to find a good lightweight hunting rain jacket, though.

This is nuts. This setup has been the best one ever since CNOC came up with these wide mouth opening water bags. I know I've had mine for at least 4-5 years already, and I got them because someone already presented this combination on UA-cam after having used it themselves for a year or 2, and that's even knowing back then that the CNOC water bags tended to leak (2 of the 4 I own leak) and even crack (1 of the 4 I own cracked) at the neck of the screw cap. I still keep and use them with my Sawyer minis. THAT is how old this setup is.

Yep. The Sawyer squeeze, blue coupler and Cnoc Vecto are the ultimate combination.

I've been using the sawyer mini and it's been working out ok. Thanks for the video

The Grayl Geopress is the king of filters. Everything else is backup to it.

What knife is that?

Oh, I see how it is..... no shoutouts for the guy that introduced you to the wizard ring, and the beauty and ease of using it for gravity filtration! 🖕🖕🖕

This is what I use you can’t beat it. I’ve used the same filter setup for two years now. Have to have the cnoc bag tho there is no other way

No snubber?

Sawyer for me also.

Currently there is no better system on the market. I have used this exact set up for two years. It rocks. PRO tip: take an extra bottle cap from any 28mm bottle poke a bunch of holes in it with a hot needle and screw that little puppy on for a SHOWER Kit😮 😊lol😂

Yep, Sawyer all the way

Perfect timing. I was literally researching water filters and this popped up in my subscriptions 45 min ago.

What a great 14 minutes of advice and information! I'll be honest, I initially skipped this video because I did my usual preview scrub-through and saw that it was mostly you talking to the camera. That's often a sign of long-winded explanations. But I just gave it a listen on a drive and highly recommend this for new grouse hunters and occasional hunters who'd like a review. You reinforce all the key points and add a few extra tips. Thanks for your time making this.

Great tip! Good to know there are other options to the Sawyer bags that come with the squeeze. I had 2 Sawyer bags burst on a backcountry hunt, not only leaving me without a water filter option, but splashing water into my clean Nalgene bottle. I switched to a BeFree filter using a Hydrapak Seeker 3L dirty bag, the flow rate is awesome. However, your system seems pretty sweet as well.

My strategy is the 2 gallon sawyer bag, filter, then hose. What you do is, you hang it on a tree, then balance the smart water bottle on the ground with the hose dangling in it. Then you forget about it, let it overflow, and it tips over. The final step is you just stare at it and feel shame.

Great video, all great reminders for hunters new and old. I prefer hunting blues, they are a bit bigger and also tend to like high mountain hill sides in more open terrain. I will be in Okanogan county this fall with the 20 gauge Beretta single shot, might take a few rabbits while at it! Keep up the great videos!

Would this work with a zenbivy sheet??

"This is a basic setup" Bro compared to my rigs you need a 12 step program and a degree to make that. I just put a dodger, about 10" of leader and my lure. 😂 But I'm also nowhere near the caliber of fisherman you are. So there's that.

Thank you for the video. Really enjoyed watching it!!!

I don’t understand why you show that slide clip set up when all you need is a dodger specially if you’re putting a wedding ring on the end and then I don’t understand when you said if you get into some fish, you’ll start changing your set up. why would you do that? Of course, I really don’t even understand why your video popped up in my feed, but glad it did. Good luck fishing man.

Handful of rocks. 😂😂😂

Do you know how to get to Bell's Canyon?

Dope video and setup bro. 🤙🏾

great content, thats a bag drive! Who makes that case for the inreach mini?

I thought braid is the least abrasion resistant line?

Number 1, you do have to spend 80 billion dollars. Stella 1k for every rod or bust

Any idea what kind of trout you lost on that first lake? I love native trout!

Holy scifi nerd. jk me too

Here in the northeastern corner of Washington state, I've caught trout on every conceivable spoon pattern and shape. But the number one spoon that gets bit the most is a plain chrome spoon. Second place is a dimpled "hammered" chrome spoon. I make my own spoons now days, so I make small ones with thicker steel so I can cast better. I haven't seen the gold and red little cleo before, but now i have a new pattern to try on my home made spoons. Thanks for that. As for the little cleo rainbow in the runner up section, I've thrown mine at least a few hundred times, without a single bite.

What was your pack weight looking like on the start of this trip? I got a ways to go to clear that many miles in a day

Is that a green screen

Talking about, back country fishing, with as little as possible, with nice lures that cast far and work. That earns you a sub. You know the struggle. Have a great weekend, tight lines.

I never comment on anything but I had to say thank you. was able to find you just before going to the eastern sierras and picked up on alot of tips tricks and gear. Me and my two friends caught over 20+ fish in some back countru lakes !

1:07 Like most game, (or animals in general) they are _crepuscular._ I just love that word!

Great stuff man keep it up

Crazy weather for June.. wow. Thanks for the video

Dude! This was an excellent video! Keep up the good work, trout won't catch themselves!

Snowy wildflowers shots were worth it on their own! Very peaceful!

Yikes! Crazy adventure. That was a long hike, hopefully next one will be sunny. Thanks for bringing us along.

Your mom and your babies thank you for making smart decisions. Always good to live to tell the tale.

EXCELLENT VIDEO, YOUR COUMMINATIONS SKILLS ARE EXCELLENT AND PROFESSIONALLY DONE.

Ya i understand the embracing technology thing. Last month i dropped my flip phone provider, due to horrible customer service. When im in the woods i just want the basics. Make a phone call, or make/recieve txts. Now i have a phone that does everything that i dont want it to do when im in the woods. Its an ombieance killer. Glad you kepted your head about yourself thru all that weather. We older subscribers have seen you go thru some tuff weather for video content. Now that you have a family to think bout, your making better decisions. I commend you on that. Tke care nd be safe. Will see you on the next one.

My luck there would be a couple of brush pickers behind the grouse. What’s the bag limit on those ?🫣

2 things Glad you took our advice and camped there your first night Thanks for not name dropping the location Glad you made it in.

Basketball

Does it cut braid nicely?

I was going to be 12.5 miles southeast of these lakes this weekend, but forecast for temps in the 30s and rain/snow showers made me chicken out. I feel like I got to experience it without having to do it! Seems like the lakes have thawed on schedule, but the weather is still hit and miss. Bring on July and the bugs.
