Looked like a fun trip. Those arches were really huge. Nice camp site and awesome meals. Beautiful area with all the arches and the falls. Take care and have a great day.
That was a great perspective on the arch with the people under it. Really could see the size and scope. That chili looked really good. I hope you liked the Steripen. Yours looked a little different than mine. I’ve been using mine for years. Works great. Only downside is potential shag nastys that a regular filter removes like. Great trip Jason!
Love Stowaway Gourmet ... my faves are the Shrimp Curry and Wild Boar Bacon Bean Stew! I love that area as well ... done a couple of week long trips the last two years! 😃
@BackpackingWithJason I got the smaller more square looking model. I don't use the bag I just throw it in my food bag, also the "glass" part is actually quartz and surprisingly durable mine has survived a few drops without the cover.
It is the new dyneema tarp. Just as good as my old one. Love it. I’d love to show you these areas close to me. I talked with Shawn. Figuring out some dates now to get back up there 😁
Thank you. I’m definitely wanting to stay at that lodge too. You have to walk 1 mile downhill to it but it comes with everything you need. I heard the food is good too.
I’ve used a SteriPEN for years in both winter and other seasons and it does the job. Just don’t use it in dirty or murky water. I still rely on the old filter method when on longer trips because I worry about breaking the glass on the pen. Thanks Jason. Great looking trip.✌️
BSF might be the new home base if they ever implement those designated camp site changes in the Red. It's like the Red but with no people. I guess everyone goes to the Smokys? I stayed at Charit Creek lodge once, it's the bomb!! I think it's worth the money because the food is amazing. I stayed in one of those 2 little cabins you showed. It was raining but we had a porch and a rocking chair. It was an awesome experience.
I think it is always wet at the Lodge, we have stayed there a few times and my kids always hang hammocks there in the front. We always get the rooms right near the kitchen. The food is great...
That place is awesome! We stayed at Charrit creek one night. I highly recommend it. Your ladies would love it! My hiking buddy, aka, my niece, me and my German shepherd did it in early spring a couple of years ago. It’s pricey in my book, but awesome! We stayed in the little corn crib cabin. The staff and the food was so amazing! The fire is already built, the beds were clean and comfortable. Five stars in my book. We caught the first arch, not the second one due to time restrictions. Shew, that put Grays arch to shame! Loved the creek walk too! Nice video!
I love hearing the good experiences you had at the Lodge. I’m definitely wanting to stay there. Plus there’s so much to see around there. Thanks for the info on the lodge 👍🏻
awesome trip! ive seen others use that steripen. I did not think of how it is a great idea for winter, ive had my filter freeze up before. nice falls and some really cool arches, great to be out in the woods with you thanks for taking us along
Slave Falls is incredible... Needle arch is incredible... Felt like you were at "THE CLUB" with that Steri-pen. "Ain't non of y'all are old enough to go to the DA#N Club !" - Mr.Garvey You got one life to live...LIVE IT! - JBEN
That's a very cool area. Re: the bear trap - They used to have a couple of hammock/tent things you could rent and a bear tore them up so I think they eliminated that option & have tried to keep the bears away from the Lodge area + I think they still board horses and such also. What kind of machete were you playing with ? Love that area and yeah lots of bears.
Glad to see some real food on this trip! I was getting worried about you boys eating out of bags all of the time! We swear by the Steripen, been using it for years in the winter!
That looked like a great time brother... Each arch is one of a kind., very cool. Food looked delicious. Hope you didn't get the poops. Looked cold on the last night. Thank you for sharing. Take care Jason. 🇺🇲
It's always great to see bsf. Love the streams too and the lodge. Great camp and the meal... Yummy. Also, that new filtration device looked awesome. Glad it worked well.👍 Jeremiah looked a little terrified 😅
Nice tarp man ! Hammock Gear hooked me up with the same tarp, only it’s the 12 foot one. Only used it a few times, loving it so far ! Nice toss with the bear bag ! Cheers !
You livin" the life every weekend! Glad the Steripen worked for you, although I had no doubt. I have one from years ago, but stopped using it. I swear it's twice as big as yours.
I have been using the Steri pen water filter for a long time and it works really well with clear water here in the white mountains of new Hampshire I have also used it when I went to Mexico have never had any issues with bacteria
Delmar and me did that exact same hike back in November of 2016,I don't have any footage of it since that was before my UA-cam days. I have a steripen and it works great but then again I could probably drink skunk water and not get sick,lol. Nice trip!
That is a fun area for backpacking. Lots of cool stuff to see. I like the Steripen but I’ll only use it in really cold weather. But it seems to work great. Have a good evening Jim
Those arches are HUGE! Wonder what them bears have been up to for the traps to be out. That water filtration device is pretty cool! Did you get the booty flu after drinking the water?
We started at twin arches and then went to Charit Creek Lodge then to Jake’s place. We made base camp at Jake’s place. There’s a loop back to Twin Arches. Next day we headed to Slave Falls. Slave Falls loops around to see Needle Arch and we hiked back to Jake’s Place. The final day we finished the Twin Arch loop. They’re all small miles but in the wintertime you don’t have much time for hiking.
So far so good on the Steripen. It worked great and I didn’t have any tummy problems from it. Definitely going to carry it with me on all wintertime trips
Oooo, this place is going on my list to see! Hope you didn't get the poo poos from that questionable contraption. Honestly, all water filtration devices are questionable. Never know when they fail until it's too late. Enjoyed the video!
We almost missed it but if you are looking at the arches from the side with the stairs and you walk around the left side of the left arch there is a Crack where you can walk through that side of the arch
@BackpackingWithJason ua-cam.com/video/1_gHdWalE3s/v-deo.htmlsi=hCCTfWpYAcJfmOmP Hey buddy. I found a video where people go through the Crack in the arch. It's about 4 minutes in. Nobody told us about it we just checked out the Crack from the opposite direction these folks went and made it through. It was a little tight in a spot or 2 but my buddy is about 250 and he made it.
I used a steripen years ago. It was a raging pos. Always malfunctioning. Batteries dying. Straight up junk. To be fair, this was over 10 years ago.....so perhaps it is improved now
So far so good on the Steripen. I just need to put something over the lid on my Nalgene bottle when putting water into it. Make sure the dirt stays out. Lol
I had a Steri pen for years. I don't use it because it doesn't clean the water. It just kills the microorganisms. I don't like the idea of drinking dead microorganisms. Lol
cool backpacking trip see the new gear worked out great how prepared you are for cold winter camping mate nothing must stop the fun *👍like☑Au👀fully viewed🦘😎*
The Steripen worked great and the Bisen Chili was really good. If you have any questions on either one just let me know
Looked like a fun trip. Those arches were really huge. Nice camp site and awesome meals. Beautiful area with all the arches and the falls. Take care and have a great day.
It’s definitely a fun area for backpacking.
How’s the snow in Utah right now

Yours looked a little different than mine. I’ve been using mine for years. Works great. Only downside is potential shag nastys that a regular filter removes like. Great trip Jason!
The Bisen chili was really good. Steripen is working great so far. I really wouldn’t have gotten one until I seen you using it. I trust you 👊🏻
I'm glad you finally tried my all-time favorite freeze-dried meal. Bison Beer Black Bean Chili!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
You are the reason I bought it. Bisen is really good. Everyone liked it. Have a good evening JK 👊🏻
Love Stowaway Gourmet ... my faves are the Shrimp Curry and Wild Boar Bacon Bean Stew! I love that area as well ... done a couple of week long trips the last two years! 😃
I’m definitely going to try the Wild Boar Bacon Bean Stew. Thanks for the info
ive been using a sterien for about 3 seasons its great when you know the water will be clean. cool spot.
I’m loving it. Worked great for me too
@BackpackingWithJason I got the smaller more square looking model. I don't use the bag I just throw it in my food bag, also the "glass" part is actually quartz and surprisingly durable mine has survived a few drops without the cover.
Great outing! I love seeing old cabin ruins. Really just makes you think about the history of the area. Thanks for sharing!
I love the history of that area. See you soon my friend 👊🏻
@@BackpackingWithJason definitely!!!
Something about running water ….. Love it ! Great place for a hiking / camping trip Jason. Good friends , good eats, good times !
We had a blast!!
THat is a nice camp site. Is that the new dyneema tarp!!!!???
I have to get out there. Those rock formations are rad
It is the new dyneema tarp. Just as good as my old one. Love it.
I’d love to show you these areas close to me.
I talked with Shawn. Figuring out some dates now to get back up there 😁
Just beautiful ! Great camping area. The Steripen has always intrigued me ! Thanks for sharing man !
Steripen has worked great so far. I’ll just use it in wintertime. Have a great day my friend
Loved those arches and that Cherry Creek Resort looked awesome. This definitely made my bucket list. What a great hike!
Thanks Jason.
Thank you. I’m definitely wanting to stay at that lodge too. You have to walk 1 mile downhill to it but it comes with everything you need. I heard the food is good too.
When you said Tennessee creek water.... moonshine came to mind.
😂😂. In Kentucky we call moonshine Pike Co. White Lightning 😁😁
Have a good day Doc
Awesome arches. I always like the rock formations
Those arches were so cool. Fun area for backpacking

Thanks. I’m glad to hear you had good experiences with the Steripen too. I sure was worried about it but everything turned out great

Thank you. I’m loving the Steripen for the colder weather. It’s always frustrating when our filter freezes. Have a great day my friend
Awesome video Jason. We’ll be heading to Big South Fork this spring. Thank for sharing your adventures with us!
🦉
Have you been to Big South Fork before? It’s so awesome out there. Incredible scenery everywhere
I haven’t been there but I’m definitely going.

They still board horses. The lodge looks so cool. And I agree with you on that there are lots of bears.
KA-BAR Knife Kukri Machete. I love it
Quiet on the set…😂✌️. Great adventure. Big South Fork is now on my list. Crow✌️
Let’s do a group trip out there. There’s 2 great loops to do out there. Lots of stuff to see and do. Have a good evening my friend 👊🏻
Super cool being able to go under those twin arches Jason. Very cool place to explore and camp. Thanks for bringing us along Brother!
It was a great place for outdoor fun. Lots to see and do
Glad to see some real food on this trip! I was getting worried about you boys eating out of bags all of the time! We swear by the Steripen, been using it for years in the winter!
So far so good for me with the Steripen. I’m loving it. So lightweight too.
Huge arches! Very pretty. Cute dog. I've been in one of those bear traps before. The falls were spectacular!
You’ve been in a bear trap. Please tell me more 😁
That looked like a great time brother... Each arch is one of a kind., very cool. Food looked delicious. Hope you didn't get the poops. Looked cold on the last night. Thank you for sharing. Take care Jason. 🇺🇲
I didn’t get the poops 😂😂😂
I’d love to show you this area if you come back down South. This place is in Tennessee
It's always great to see bsf. Love the streams too and the lodge. Great camp and the meal... Yummy. Also, that new filtration device looked awesome. Glad it worked well.👍 Jeremiah looked a little terrified 😅
Jeremiah didn’t want any part of that water I was drinking 😂😂
What an awesome place. I have to get down there with you one of these days.
It would be a fun trip. Big South Fork is a lot like the RRG. But the BSF doesn’t have as many people around. Probably because of the bears. Lol
Nice adventure man. That steripen is crazy!
That steripen is definitely wild. I’ve used it a few times. Never been sick from it
Ey great video. The Steripen looks handy.
Really handy when it’s below freezing. So far so good on it.
Steripen looked interessting. Had something grow in my teapot LOL so looking to ensure all is good after it has been cleaned.
Steripen has worked great so far David. Gotta make sure that Tea Pot stays clean my friend 😁
Nice tarp man ! Hammock Gear hooked me up with the same tarp, only it’s the 12 foot one. Only used it a few times, loving it so far ! Nice toss with the bear bag ! Cheers !
I love my new tarp. Just like my old one. I’m a huge Hammock Gear fan
@@BackpackingWithJason Right on !
You livin" the life every weekend! Glad the Steripen worked for you, although I had no doubt. I have one from years ago, but stopped using it. I swear it's twice as big as yours.

👍👍
Another beautiful area to be spending time in. How did the streipen treat you? Some really cool arches.
The arches was so cool.
I didn’t get the poops 😂😂. The steripen worked great
We’ve been a couple times. Such a large area to explore.
I agree. I’m wanting to do more off trail exploring out there. Especially around those creek areas
That's a nice loop! First time I was recognized on trail, was just below the lodge. I'll have to check out the pen. And... Jeremiah is a sissy!
The Steripen has been working great so far. Have a good evening my friend
Just done this trip and Jeremiah was telling me about this trip you all did last year.
Really fun area
Those arches are HUGE! Wonder what them bears have been up to for the traps to be out. That water filtration device is pretty cool! Did you get the booty flu after drinking the water?
I was fine after drinking that water. Steripen did great.
Supposedly the bears we’re getting into some tents
My wife and I camped in the same spot as you all. Right in the open area of Jake's place, that big first campsite.
Jake’s Place is so cool
what loops did you guys do. i found twin arches and jakes' camp site on GIA.
We started at twin arches and then went to Charit Creek Lodge then to Jake’s place. We made base camp at Jake’s place. There’s a loop back to Twin Arches.
Next day we headed to Slave Falls. Slave Falls loops around to see Needle Arch and we hiked back to Jake’s Place.
The final day we finished the Twin Arch loop. They’re all small miles but in the wintertime you don’t have much time for hiking.
@@BackpackingWithJason ty i'm saving these to my Gia app
I have the same tarp you do and i can't get it to look as taunt as urs. Is there any way you could show us how u do that on one of ur next trips?
I sure can. I have a couple of videos I’m putting out already but I will definitely show it on the next video. Look up line locks 👍🏻
@@BackpackingWithJason I almost bought line locks when I bought the tarp, but I just tie a knot instead. Are the line locks what keep it so taunt?
@@atgirl yes. The line locks are great. You can still put them on your tarp. There definitely worth it
Yo nice trip, beautiful geology in that place. I’ve been wondering about those purifiers, give us updates on that thing please.
So far so good on the Steripen. It worked great and I didn’t have any tummy problems from it. Definitely going to carry it with me on all wintertime trips
Another killer adventure. How long is that loop anyways? Also, corn chips with that bison beer chili..bon appetit! 👌
The twin arches loop is probably 5-6 miles. The slave falls and needle arch loop from Jakes Place was probably around 4 miles.
@@BackpackingWithJason Killer! 👍🏼
@hootonthetrail3894 miss hanging out with you brother 👊🏻. Have a great day my friend
Oooo, this place is going on my list to see! Hope you didn't get the poo poos from that questionable contraption. Honestly, all water filtration devices are questionable. Never know when they fail until it's too late. Enjoyed the video!
Thank you my friend. So far so good with the Steripen. No bad poo poo’s 😁😁
What are those gloves you’re wearing?
Outdoor research fingerless gloves
to think of all the creek water i've drank before i knew about filtrating water. lol
Truth 😂😂😂. When we was kids we would drink out of anything. lol
We almost missed it but if you are looking at the arches from the side with the stairs and you walk around the left side of the left arch there is a Crack where you can walk through that side of the arch
That’s really cool. I’m going to be back out there really soon
@BackpackingWithJason
Glad u healed quick are back out there camping. Love your videos. I'll see if my buddy has any pictures of it.

I used a steripen years ago. It was a raging pos. Always malfunctioning. Batteries dying. Straight up junk. To be fair, this was over 10 years ago.....so perhaps it is improved now
it certainly looks different than the one I used
In theory, the UV light sterilizes the bacteria so it can not reproduce
So far so good on the Steripen. I just need to put something over the lid on my Nalgene bottle when putting water into it. Make sure the dirt stays out. Lol
@@BackpackingWithJason I used to filter mine through a washcloth. I bet the pouch of a Toaks titanium pot would work great.
It should be called Jasons place, not Jake’s place. The first arch was amazing. The waterfall would be spectacular at high flows. Very nice stuff.
Jason’s place. I like that 😁😁
I’m going to see more waterfalls Sunday. I’m hoping it will be frozen. That would be so cool
I had a Steri pen for years. I don't use it because it doesn't clean the water. It just kills the microorganisms. I don't like the idea of drinking dead microorganisms. Lol

I grew up drinking well water (yes a hand pumped well) & the water was never clean, but it was always cold !
@safromnc8616 I too drank hand pumped well water. It was full of rust, and I'm still here at 83. Lol
It’s not Bison Beer it’s Bison and Beer. My number 2 favorite meal behind Pesto Chicken by Peak.
