    Simply great video, beautiful views from atop Mt. Sheridan. Your video brought back memories when I did the hike in the summer of 1980. Back then, the fire lookout was manned, and I remember we brought some magazines, a book and some candy for the park ranger manning the lookout. Surprised that you can hike there solo, back then it was a mandatory minimum of 4 hikers had to be in your party. Thank you for doing these videos, it brings back so many great memories from working and hiking throughout the Yellowstone and Grand Teton are during that wonderful summer!

    In 1973 I had a conversation with a ranger stationed in the “patrol cabin” on Mt Sheridan when it was used for a fire lookout. A single ranger would be stationed there for a season and supplies would be dropped off every few weeks. They had a small stool, with glass insulators on the legs, which they were instructed to stand on to avoid being injured by lightening when the station was in the midst of a thunder storm. I suspect few lasted the season.

      Were they issued brown pants? Nothing scarier than having the flash and boom happen at the same time, lol...
      There's a place in Mesa Verde, it's probably a fire lookout. I remember seeing a big sign on it warning of "extreme lightning hazard". Made me look around even though it was a sunny day, lol. Oh, the signs on how to fight off a cougar didn't fill me with joy, either. (The puma kind. Not the Miami kind.)

    • @theparkjunkie

    Thank you Todd C for another wonderful adventure/hike in the Yellowstone back country. Your videos are always so beautiful with all the flowers and the view from the top of Mt. Sheridan! Even the wild life that was not wildlife, was great. I thought it was a moose at first look. Thank you also for the informative camping instructions in bear country. I am amazed you are doing that camping alone in the wild. How cold was the lake water? I still feel wet and cold from your dive. I am waiting for your next adventure, especially if you go to explore the Grand Teton. Thanks again for what you do for us. 🙂

    If you want something that is not as harsh as DEET, but works as well as DEET, use Picardin based insect repellent. I've completely switched to Picardin. It works just as well against mosquitos and is better at repelling ticks.

  • @Backroad_Junkie
    @Backroad_Junkie 2 роки тому +1

    Wow. Nice they had a cross beam between two trees for your food pack. Up in the BWCAW, we had to suspend it between two trees. PITA, lol. (You can't just suspend it from a branch, since a bear can climb a tree and still get to it...) And I always slept through it, but I understand there were always a couple of visitors to the campsite during the nights.
    Personally, I'd would have taken a travel fishing rod. Probably use a crankbait with barbless hooks. (At least I assume it's legal to fish in the lake.)
    Nothing wrong with DEET, though I probably would have still used a head net, and only used it on my hands and other exposed skin.
    Ever take a GPS to one of those USGS markers to see if it's accurate? I'm gonna do that the next time I see one. I'm gonna do the same thing if I'm ever at Four Corners again. 😁
    Nice hike. Well established trail. Built by the CCC?

    • @theparkjunkie

      Well, most backcountry sites in Yell have either bear boxes or hang posts, cause you're correct, bears can climb trees...

      Not sure bout the trail, but it's been there for a while!

    Your videos and information sharing is first class. Really enjoy them. However you really need to cut your pack weight by half. For overnight or even 2 night I am around 20 lbs. Help those knees and shoulders enjoy as well. 😊

    tray taking a bowl with you and when you get where you are going boil one cup of water then add 1/4 cup sugar let it cool and add 1 tsp of yeast. Put it about 20 feet from your camp and it will attract and kill all the mosquitos near you.

      This might work, though I might try more than one bowl. You really don't need to boil the water if it's clean, just get it warm.
      What you're actually doing is creating carbon dioxide generators. (The yeast eats the sugar and produces ethanol and carbon dioxide as a by-product. I'm making some wine right now, and it's happily bubbling away...)
      Might work better on a windless night, but it's an interesting idea. 🙂

    I live close to a place called, "Mosquito Lagoon" so, I don't have a lot of shame in using deet. Granted, I don't use it every day, but a few times a year... You'd go bonkers without it.
