    A lot of Elk in that area. Maybe that was a red mountain fox, very rare, you were lucky to see him. When my wife was a live, we hiked the sawtooths, her grandparents lived there, every October beautiful time to hike for fall colors. But you could expect rain and snow showers then. Also you are looking very stealthy, look like you carry a light pack. You need to give some assistance to Kat. Everytime I watch her videos with huge pack.
    Beautiful hike. Thanks 😊

    • @nomad_unknown
      @nomad_unknown  4 роки тому +1

      Hi John! I found out that it is a cross fox. Very beautiful animal. Cat and I carry about the same stuff and while my set-up is a little lighter that's because I made the investment in lightweight items for the PCT. For some reason her pack just looks deceivingly large. ;)

    I would certainly share this video with a forest ranger if I were you. I have tried Googling what that animal is @ 5:25. I don't think it is a fox. Every pic I find in Google is not representative of the animal in this video. I have only seen one fox in the wild. It looked nothing like this. It seems to me that the tail is significantly longer than a fox or coyote. The markings are clearly different than a fox or coyote that I have ever seen. It appears to be a tad thicker and huskier as well. I hope someone can shed some light on what that beautiful animal is. I'd be curious to know what it is.

    • @nomad_unknown

If I ever run into you and/or Cathy it would be great to have a campfire meal. The 2 of you make really wonderful videos. Both of you really help keep inspiration alive. Thank you.
