Приєднався 9 лют 2019
A Montana based channel for the avid weekend backpacker!
I have been an avid backpacker for over 20 years, and I currently work in the outdoor retail industry.
The hiking community spans many different people, with different backgrounds and skill levels that all share a common love of sleeping in the backcountry. The majority of packers are people who work full time and try as hard as they can to hit the trail on the weekend. These are my people.
And they are the people this channel is for. The weekenders. Those who live for throwing their packs in the car and rushing to the trail head on Friday after work. Join me for a blend of tips, vlogs, and life lessons of the trail.

I wanted to do something a little different. This is the same video for the first day of our trip up to Breakneck Meadow, but instead of including the music, I thought it would be fun to include only the raw audio from the recording of the trip. Just to give you a small glimpse into the behind the scenes of making these videos! Let me know what you think!

Hot Pants and I are joined by our friend zach as we hike the West Stillwater trail back into breakneck meadow.

Confession of a Gen X Backpacker: My Thoughts on Gear and the Ever Changing Face of Backpacking
Good to know - prayers for you buddy!
Great trip! Pink filter. lol. I love it! I’ve got nothing but good things to say about the Quickdraw. Especially since they introduced the back flush coupler. It performed marvelously on the CT.
It was a really great trip, and I also love my quickdraw!
Great episode! Jim’s the man!
Jim is definitely the man, he is an amazing soul who I am honored to call a friend.
I like the look of the area y’all picked for this trip. Thanks for the book recommendation.✌️
The book, and the place were definitely great!
Loved the CT, did a lash Denver to Breckenridge , soooo many great views.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I’m not a fan of my own voice.🫣
I don’t think anyone likes hearing their own voice haha. I certainly don’t!
My dear friend, I so happy you're doing well, thanks for sharing all this with us! I look forward to that new project.....
Thank you friend. I am also definitely looking forward to it!
Glad to hear you’re healthy . Life happens to all of us and the world of work can be a monster at times .
Hang in there! Ur real fans are still here for u. Can't wait to see the new ideas!
Thank you!
Oh wow! Hope what’s causing the issue is diagnosed soon. The new sound gear rocks. I’m finally off trail, for now, and should be home by the end of the week.
Thank you my friend, looking forward to chatting with you!
Hey friend, thanks for the update. i love the authenticity and look forward to whatever and whenever you "create".
Thank you friend
Glad to hear the big health issues are eliminated. I look forward to seeing the new projects. 🍻
Glad you're doing ok. Thanks for the update. 👍
Thanks!
👍Glad your well. Always enjoy your videos
Thank you!
Hope all goes well! Good luck with your future projects!
Thank you my friend
Stay strong! Looking forward to the future.
Thank you friend.
Thanks for the update. Glad to hear your medical issues aren't life-threatening. Excited to see what's to come...
Thank you!
Thanks for the great info and thoughtful video. I'm a newbie and will definitely be buying one of these. Convenience and safety over weight any day.
Thank you so much and glad you found it informative. I still am using the bear canister and have no regrets. Bear vault has four different sizes available now so you can get what you need without having too much. I agree that safety and convenience are way more important. Thanks for watching!
I bought one for our vacation to the San Juan Mountains. It worked great. My only issue (that isn’t necessarily about this system alone) is that as a midwesterner hiking in the mountains, when I stopped after a big incline to catch my breath and get a drink of water, having to suck so much to get water while out of breath isn’t a great combination. 😵💫
Yes, it is true that after a big climb it feels like real punishment to have to work for your water haha. As a former midwesterner who now hikes in the mountains I totally get it!
This is the best video explaining the fuel transfers! Thanks!
Thank you!
This thing works great! So right about cold hands in the morning. Caffeanger is no way to start your day. I did end up attaching it to the can. I could easily misplace it.
I agree! And I did end up attaching mine as well!
I hike in the late afternoon and avoid midday sun completely. I also don't hike during the day at all in the summer months here in the Seattle area. I'm not Ginger but I'm a pale blonde with blue eyes (but I can tan) but I had a Melanoma at age 21 from growing up in all of that "healthy" sun in Southern California. I do the bulk of my outside activities in the Fall, Winter, and Spring.
Sounds like you have a winning strategy. Skin cancer is no joke.
@@Everydaybackpacker It's VERY nice to be among the pale and pasty here in the Puget Sound region. It was hard to shun the sun in San Diego in the mid-80s when everyone was bronzed and running around in tank tops. I grew up hiking in the 8,000ft to 14,000ft Sierra Nevadas where the only sun protection was a white tennis hat and the shade of an occasional boulder on a sun-drenched 12,000ft pass.
Hahahahahaha! This is awesome! That was my wife and I! Your content is absolutely STELLAR! Again, keep up the great work man!
Yes! I was so hoping you would see this! Thank you again for making my evening. I again am sorry for the deer in the headlights look on my face haha. Shoot me an email to everydaybackpacker@gmail.com and I will send you some stickers!
I really enjoyed this. Amazing choice of music too.
Thank you so much! I actually had a really hard time picking the music for this video for some reason.
I grew up in RL and still have a home there. I have not been able to follow your channel like I would like but I appreciate your work. Thank You!
Thank you as well!
Temporary embearassment 😔
That's awesome.
That’s cool Man .
Dude that's awesome 😎
My God! The whiteness of those legs! I honestly thought you were wearing white socks at first. Was in your area in July, did the West Fork and Sundance Pass. Whitetail Peak was even prettier than I remembered. Thanks.
Yeah yeah yeah haha. I know I got white legs. That’s just how they always look haha.
This was great!! What a beautiful area.
Thank you my friend!
Amazing views!! Just wow! Thanks for bringing us along! (Side note, you and Hot Pants can keep your beef stroganoff! 🤣🤣)
You shut your mouth! Stroganoff is amazing! 🤣🤣🤣. Thank you my friend, can’t wait to actually bring you along!
@@Everydaybackpacker 🤣🤣 I'll bring you some spam on our Montana hike 😉 (and by golly, I hope we can make that happen... assuming I won't drive you crazy!)
@tridudyonthetrail I’m already crazy so you are good 🤣🤣🤣. And I love spam.
Enjoyed very much. Montana is so gorgeous. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! It really is amazing out here!
You totally should have gone out wearing the same clothes. Look like super heroes on the trail 😂 Great video. Such amazing views out there.
Hahaha, I would have sweat to death. It would have been funny though! Thanks for the kind words!
Nice hike. Montana is beautiful.
It really is! I am blessed to live here for sure. Thanks for watching!
Man, around 7:00 I was waiting for the Grizzly to come out of the woods for a visit. Beautiful area!
No grizzlies but we did see a moose splashing aggressively at the far end of the lake.
Just found your channel. Just got back from a trip in the winds. Like you we had to change our plans as the original plan was just too much. That gave us an extra day, so we spent a day just hanging out at lonesome lake/Cirque of the towers and day hiked up to jackass pass. We went in from the Lander Wyoming side which is much less "crowded" and once you get above treeline you have 10+ miles of trail all above treeline, until you drop down into lizard head meadows. It really is a spectacular place. Looks like you had a great time.
Welcome aboard! Sounds like you had a great trip even with the change in plan. We definitely had a great trip even with our change. I think that’s why I love backpacking, even a trip that doesn’t go as planned is still a great time and better than time indoors!
I really enjoyed this, guys. It's interesting how UA-cam steers creators into making content to trigger the reward center in the brain (likes and views) even if it isn't what they want to make. Definitely been rethinking the why of my channel and where I want to go from here. Good stuff .
Thank you so much! Yes it is interesting and disappointing that so many platforms for art are being used to make other people money and less about celebrating the arts.
Dude get to it, im tired of sitting through half the video of so.e guy sitting and bullshitting. Review the damn thing
Then feel free not to sit through the video.
I absolutely love talking about gear. I also hate making gear videos lol. Since nobody watches trip videos, I just talk about gear in the trip video instead 😂 Force them to watch the trip video to get to the gear parts lol. I did one backpack review and it felt like I turned into some sort of an ambassador for it. That didn't sit too well for me. It's just stressful to make them.
That is a great strategy! I also really enjoy talking gear, but since I do it for work sometimes it can get a little much haha.
@@Everydaybackpacker When I took my brother and nephews on their first trip I kind of dictated what was brought since it was my gear but noticed that my brother stuffed the entire heavy 2p tent in the outer mesh pocket of GG Mariposa. It probably stretched out the mesh too much but I didn't say anything lol. He didn't complain so whatever.
@@rodoutdoors that’s awesome haha
👍
This was a ton of fun. Thanks for having me.
Thank you for joining! Always fun to talk with you!
Loved the video, more like this 😊😊😊
Thank you! Will do!
It was fun to make too! Glad you enjoyed it!
Ey have fun
We did! I filmed this before heading out but didn’t get a chance to post it till we got back!
EU rules say. You can't refil gas bottles, when they are empty. And you not need make hole to bottle, when you throw bottles away. You must bring them recycled center. So this FlipFuel is useless in here Finland and EU area.
My cooks back then geeze
I can't 😂
