@@vegaj.r1754 During the Pacheco Falls trip the foot box might have been a bit damp. No issues the last trip. I have the Argon 90 top too which isn't as breathable as the Argon 67 option.

@@highcountrychronicles Ey thanks! It's always nice to escape to Henry Coe. Except when there's rattlesnakes lol. Thinking of doing a quick midweek overnight trip there since I've been itching to get out but might head out to Emigrant Wilderness soon.

@@TSiriusz Keep at it! I heard it's been rough lately.

@@backpackingadventures4813 Thanks! I should have packed a cold brew with the warmer temps 😅 I've been chasing coffee with electrolytes lately too. I guess paranoid about dehydrating myself or pH imbalance or something.

@@rodoutdoorselectrolytes are smart in the heat with exertion. 👍

Dang that sounds sketchy. Glad you made it back down safe. I hope the weather is nice out there 🤞 I just want to get there really. Hope everything goes smoothly and just try to have a good time with the group. Train as much as I can in the meantime but I'm really looking forward to fishing the days before the hike. Hopefully I can catch something.

@@rodoutdoors Thanks. It got sketchy pretty quickly and seemingly out of nowhere. Definitely one of my more memorable summits, though, despite not getting to see the view. And a good reminder that mountain weather can change quickly. By the time I got back to Trail Camp, the sun was shining, my pants were dry, and no one would've believed a squall had just blown over the summit.

Thanks! There's some nice climbs.

Thanks I really appreciate that. I would like my videos to show others that they can do what I'm doing. So I try to supply resources that helped me when I was looking around UA-cam for help getting started.

@@HikeCalifornia Thanks! I'm not trying to get ahead of myself. I just want to get there lol. Everything else would be a bonus.

@@rodoutdoors Haha relatable. Every step forward I take after I get to the trailhead is found money.

@@Prasannathani Nice. I want to hear that way really soon.

@@backpackingadventures4813 I've been kind of obsessed with my walking gait after switching to barefoot style shoes 2-3 years ago. Seems like I learn something new every time I go on a walk hike, or run. Thanks! I just hope to make it there, do some fishing and enjoy the views and company.

@@outsidewithmike Yeah seems a bit heavy. It's mostly clothes though. That's with full water so it shouldn't be too bad up to Trail Camp. I'm thinking of eating a lot of carbs the day before but will probably pack a lot of calories anyway.

Dang that's awesome. How did the elevation affect you? I'm going to try to head out in the area 2-3 days before the hike to try to acclimate.

@@rodoutdoors the elevation didn’t effect me at all, I think because I did the six pack of peaks and then the week before the Mt. Whitney summit I did the Iron to baldy traverse-which made doing Whitney a little bit easier. I didn’t see much tho because I had to moving so fast (on the Whitney hike). I wish I could have stopped and enjoyed it more! I also did camp at the Whitney portal to acclimate as well. Worth it! Because it helps. We also did a test run hike the day before up to Lone Pine Lake. I like your cold weather gear and backup gear because it is cold up there even in September! You look dailed in!

@@roamwiththewind That's awesome. Great it worked out for you. I'm thinking of heading out to Emigrant Wilderness a week or two before so I can try to acclimate a bit beforehand. Then maybe a few days before the hike head over to Cottonwood Lakes at around 10000 ft. Maybe rest the day before the hike around Whitney Portal so I don't overexert myself.

@@rodoutdoors ohhh! Cottonwood lakes campground would be awesome! Especially if the Whitney portal is packed.

I might be one of the younger people in the group actually. But that doesn't mean I'm in better shape lol. I'm mostly worried about elevation sickness. Hopefully cardio will help with that.

Thanks! The creeks are pretty much dried up. The small ponds have water though. You can check the water map here. coepark.net/map/water.php

I can't say for sure, but from what I remember it looked like it's possible.

Yes there is more than enough room :)

@@highcountrychronicles lol I think she's playing hard to get. She told Mike before if she saw him again they would be hiking buddies. That was the 2nd time. So I guess maybe the third time 😂

@@rodoutdoors 😂 "Every Monday" from what I heard on his video. Sounds like a date to me. 🙃

​@@highcountrychronicles Ya was 2nd meeting now its third meeting lol. Shes quite a character.

@@outsidewithmike Ah yeah The Land of the Medicine Buddha. That's like a Tibetan Buddhist place. Really nice hike. It connects with The Forest of Nisene Marks which is great too.

@@northumberlandmountainhopper Yeah I don't mess around with the sun these days. I cover up with a sun hoodie and use sunscreen on my face. At least I don't need as much. Sun umbrellas are nice on really hot days.

That movie definitely made an impression on me. Probably made me like camp fires lol

It was nice considering it's been way hotter recently. The breeze was really nice. There were quite a few people still hiking up when we were heading down. Those views up there were pretty sweet. Makes me want to do the Ohlone Wilderness Trail once I saw the other side of the ridge. Mission Peak trailhead is the start or end of it.

Yeah it was my first time there. Loved the views from up top and the breeze was refreshing.

Yeah we were joking the people who carved out the trails probably did the trails I go backpacking lol. I picked up a Fulaim X5 on sale a while back. It's a budget version of the DJI or R0DE wireless mics. I like that it has an 1/8" input on the transmitters so you can plug in a lav to hide the mic. Or even plug in a boom mic to make it wireless. It has internal recording too. When you plug it to your computer it shows up as a drive and can copy the .wav files. Works with my phone too. I carry 1 transmitter and the receiver with a small USBC to USBC cord when backpacking. I recently picked up a cage for the DJI Action 4 to mount the receiver on a cold shoe, but most of the time I just clip the receiver right on the cord and it stays in place.

It was a pleasant surprise. I thought it was exposed the whole way but there were two springs along the way. I would have never thought there would be a water source. I didn't fill up though. Brought up over 2L and had 1L left. The breeze was nice so I wasn't chugging water.

Same! I just cut out the parts where i was talking hah. It was cool to chat the entire time. I'll be training!

@@Prasannathani Thanks a lot! I took a lot from Andrew Skurka's guide. andrewskurka.com/guyline-tension-system-backpacking-tents-tarps-hammocks/ In the lighterpack it shows more details of my guy out lines and stakes. I use LineLoc Hooks too which are great but for the main lines I like using ZingIt and knots. McCarthy Hitch and Trucker's Hitch are handy.

@@ryanolson2430 That's their typical lead times. Everything is made to order. I had my ultralight bivy made in wide with a side zip. Sometimes they'll stop orders completely to catch up. These are popular with ultralight backpackers. There are similar bivy like from Mountain Laurel Design but are more expensive.

@@backpackingadventures4813 Thanks a lot! Yeah this headlamp rabbit hole really made me want to try them out lol. The Skilhunt H150 is my favorite for around the house or everyday use. It's really compact and can also use AA NiMH or alkaline batteries. I picked up an extra 1050mAh 14500 battery that has a USBC port built in. The warm light is really nice on the eyes. I really like the form factor of these right-angle flashlights. The clip is super useful and there's a magnet at the base to mount it on metal objects. Love the candle lantern. Felt it was being neglected lol. It's also great in the Winter to burn off some condensation under the shelter.

I love the sense of freedom out there.

Yeah everything is pretty easy to cinch down. I guess the idea is to keep everything tight and not flopping around.
