      This was too fun to watch. Is nice mixing stuff sometimes. Camping, hiking, fishing, ham radio... it can't get better than this 😁😁. Loved it. Ben nailed the fishing part hehehe. Good job Ben. You guys with the food made me hungry so I go cook something now 😅😅. 73, YO6DXE.

    That was delightful! My dream outing...ham radio and fly fishing. It was especially nice to see Ben catch trout on the fly rod. Nice job Ben. I'm an ole guy - it makes me smile when I see a young person land fish on a fly rod!

  • @john_jacob_jingleheimerschmidt

    Hey Josh, just wanted to put in a good word for Gregory packs when you go to replace yours. They're not as light as the Hyperlite line, but an extra pound or so of padding is one pound I will never regret carrying.
    Also, on the trekking pole tip @ 43:00, the other reason to go up through the bottom is if you trip, you can let go of the poles amd they will fall below your hands. If you go through of the loops and take a fall, the straps will keep the poles in front of your hands and stop you from being able to catch yourself. Probably applies more with ski poles but a broken thumb is still a broken thumb.
    Ben is a champ.

    I haven't been up to that region in decades. My dad and uncle used to fish up and down the Sierra Nevadas (June was their favorite), and my dad's best friend lived in Bishop for many a year. It's so nice to actually see water up there again. I even have all my dad's old fly fishing gear he used during those trips.

    Also, looks cool to have that special mic, 😜😉. I patiently await the availability. 30:17 Honestly, "Mr. Adam" can take his time. I need to actually make some money in between purchases, so the longer I have to wait, the less of a blow to my wallet. The price is definitely reasonable.

    Love the video! Your son was a real trooper. I was a little worried for you getting out of breath blowing up those air mattresses. That knee board with the radio attached, pure genius right there, I also loved the tiny mic! Was that 3d printed? My hubby and I both got a kick out of Ben spinning the hiking pole around like Donatello with a bo staff in the background while you were figuring out how to use the wrist strap haha.
    Hopefully we can make a POTA contact at some point, I think I only have you in my log once from FT8. I don't often make contact with stations from Cali though. Keep bringing us great videos and I'll keep watching!

    We got see your camping gear...did I miss the POTA gear? Did you take ant solar panels? I can only assume Adams antenna since you were with him..I am asking since you did a video a few years ago saying the light saver max was your favorite and I am wondering if that still holds true?
