Great tip! I will freeze meat or anything else that will defrost prior to putting into the cooler to keep things colder and lasting longer

Hard to go wrong with that advice! Thanks for watching

It depends on the area and regulations but usually: 1. Many dispersed camp sites area near trailheads or places with a pit toilet so will use these when convenient 2. When allowed will dig a good ol' cat hole. Make sure you are not near water, far from camp, and pack out your TP 3. Some places require packing out waste (often desert environments) and for these use wag bags or bucket + bag method I hope this helps

@@jakekaiser1399 thanks a lot! I’ll make sure to do my research before adventuring!

Thank you and Shasta is one of my favorite skis of all time! Also If you get adventurous Whitney, some in Palisade group, and a few others have ski lines on big snow years if willing to not go from tip top.

Thank you and always nice when you earn good turns vs. survival skiing ones

Such a great peak!

I live in an area where non stop rain is not really an issue. During heavy rains with the windows down I get some drops into the sleeping area. If this was a more common issue for me I would buy side window deflectors so that I could have windows open without any rain getting in. Below are the Subaru one but know there are cheaper alternatives on Amazon and other places: amzn.to/4eHD0QZ Hope this helps and happy camping !

This area is closed to vehicles when I did this trip so just stashed it in the woods and assumed anyone who made the journey to the base of this climb was not a thief. I've never had issues with this but do tend to try and store bike where not overtly visible to decrease risk as much as possible

Thanks so much! Always a more fun adventure when you add a couple sidequests. Speaking of I was disappointed I didn't bring my fly rod and catch a trout to end this day

Thank you! The spring time is pretty magical for ski adventures

Was fishing a hopper and then a chubby this day

Thanks! Was a pretty perfect day out there

Hey! My exped is the medium size and fits perfectly

Thanks and yeah this was a smaller one but was a tough trip so was happy to find him

Thank you very much and happy I got to take you back for a second. I miss the area as well and need to plan a trip to those eastern Sierra soon. Living in Colorado now makes it a longer journey but have to find the time.

@@jakekaiser1399 good to hear a Rocky Mtn guy with some love for the Sierra.

Sorry I usually put it in description but this was on 6/1

Thank you! was a solid day up there

Thanks so much and will for sure keep them coming Happy adventuring!

Hey thanks for watching the videos and honestly there is so much to explore in Chamonix if the flooding (which I am clueless on) makes travel in and around Switzerland difficult think you could for sure spend 2 weeks exploring the area. I would make sure to move around a bit to keep it interesting but know from my last trip I had a ton of hikes and things I never got to do based on very limited time. Also if actually circumnavigating Blanc you get a little bit of the different cultural experiences from the different counties and think this would help keep things interesting With that said I've never been to Zermatt and if travel if flooding damage is cleared up by August think a week in each place would be awesome and would love to do this on my trip to the area. In my opinion this whole area of the alps is a mountain paradise and you'll have a great trip either way I hope that helps and have a great trip. I'm jealous and need to plan a return trip and actually climb Blanc this time

Thanks for the quick feedback. Hope to spend time around the Grande Jorasses and les Drus. They look incredible. Maybe a hike to refuge Leschaux. Like you said, Chamonix has a lot to offer. Have a great CO summer!

No worries and have a great trip! Few random spots I scoped out but never got to were Dômes de Miage and Mont Buet for views of the Blanc Massif from afar.

Was happy to see it! You know it. Born and raised in Sun Valley area

Thanks and hard to beat the length for the middle of June

Thanks for following along!

Thank you for subscribing! I fully agree and like showing the whole adventure

Was a great Spring on Torreys!

Thanks Elias and hope all is well

Thank you. It's a Marmot shell that I've had a long time and don't really know the model. It seems closest to their current Minimalist or Minimalist Pro jacket but is a good 10 years old and has no tags that help. It's been a great shell but showing some signs of wear so mostly keep it for days when weather looks decent. The end of this year I did pick up a Norrona shell but will miss this bright color. Hope this helps

Or perhaps is it better to rent backcountry gear in Silverton for the day?

@@MysticUB Thanks for watching and you would for sure need backcountry gear as being able to skin on the way up is essential. I don't recall the timing on this one but expect the climb was about 2 hours based on vert. In terms of renting gear I'm not sure what options exist but do want to share that this line and the CO backcountry in general is very dangerous and without the experience and knowledge on how to assess snowpack would not recommend going. This line has killed a number of skiers and is not only a cool line but a massive avalanche path. What is not shown in the video is my waiting for the perfect day, talking with people in the area who had dug pits on similar aspects, and many years of backcountry experience that led to the decision to ski on this day. I don't want to rain on your parade and hope you get a chance to ski this line but would be a bad steward of this sport not to emphasize the risks and would personally not consider looking at Buffalo without some backcountry experience and education like an AIRE1 avy course. Overall backcountry skiing is vastly different from resort skiing and requires many different skills. For anyone interested in skiing lines like these would implore you to do it correctly and start with the educational base that will keep you alive while enjoying these lines and mountains. I hope this helps

I did try them on while boot shopping and did find them wider than the Hoji yet not perfect for my foot. I forget the details but it might have been heel feeling pretty loose as I have a wider foot but small heel. I love the Dynafit features and will for sure see how their lineup looks when I need new boots

Thanks and for sure a lot of mediocre amateur influence on these skiing videos

Best of luck!

Snow was so much better than I expected as climb up Emperor was very wind impacted and funky. Glad I headed over to Tuning Fork Thanks for watching

Thank you! Was a great day

No issues with bears on this trip or any other. When in bear country I take proper precautions and have avoided any encounters or problems

I have them linked in description but a cheaper amazon ones called "FLYCLE Roof Rack Cross Bars". I had to cut the rubber that they came with a bit to better fit the wildernesses thicker rails but they have worked great since then. They are not the most beefy so tend to keep lighter things in my roofbox to reduce the load on them but for the like $90 I paid have have had no issues and find them pretty minimal looking for when my roofbox is not in use. Hope this helps

Thanks for watching and I got the Navis Freebird due to hearing how well it did in not perfect conditions and how trustworthy it felt. After 1.5 years riding them almost exclusively have found they lived up to the hype and they have been a great single ski quiver for myself in Colorado. The more classic camber profile has been great in steeper terrain and I found these the most solid feeling backcountry designed ski I've used across various conditions. The cons I've noticed is that the tail stability is lacking for landing small jumps/cliffs and that for really deep snow a bit more rocker and width would be nice. Overall they have been a great ski for me and although not the lightest seem to have struck a great balance for performance vs. weight. Best of luck in your ski search!

Thank you so much that means a lot and I hope you can vicariously get just the right amount of skiing stoke without missing it too much. I have some more ski lines planned and with snowpack will manage a couple more skiing adventures before full time summer mode. Thanks for watching

Thank you!

Thank you! It's good to know I wasn't the only one with poor skiing conditions and was a great day either way. The box creek couloirs around this time of the year as they corn up would be ideal but I'll have to save that for the next time.

Thanks man! I can't wait to get back and enjoy your trip
