    Dixie!! It was so much fun meeting you and getting to spend time with you on this hike! Everyone in our crew thinks you were a wealth of knowledge and inspiration and just wonderful to be around. Your video is gorgeous and really captured the splendor of the Tetons. I know you roll solo, but I hope we get a chance to explore more parts of the backcountry together. Thanks for putting me/ us in the video. You have converted us to lifetime Homemade Wanderlust viewers! Take Courage and we hope to see you out there!

    What I love most about Dixie is she actually hikes and takes footage of it. So many of these backpacking UA-camrs just show off new gear and I truly appreciate someone who just shows what it’s really all about! Probably much harder than sitting down doing a gear video but let’s us all go along for the journey.

    After watching this and feeling tears well up, I sincerely felt: "You did a very good thing inviting Jessica on to Blue Dot." The thunderstorm segment gave me pause remembering your CDT adventures! I am so glad you made it safely through an electrified high country. I hiked through that region and fell in love with it in 1980. I recall seeing ash from Mt. St. Helens on glaciers in the Tetons and Wind River Range. I had the tremendous experience of learning nature photography techniques from Bill Ratcliffe at the (then) Audubon Society's Trail Lake Ranch near Dubois. Thank you for being you. You are a gift to all who aspire to adventure. Big virtual hug!

    Reminds me of when I did the Teton Crest trail from Rendevous Mt. to Jenny lake. Pack weighed 90 lbs and I weighed 135. Took 9 days as we took a some rest days to day hike..Table Mtn....Saw a sailplane cross from Idaho, circle the Grand and then back to Idaho..It crossed over Table Mtn. where we were less than 500 feet above. Inspired me to become a sailplane pilot/instructor..Seeing the Grand Teton after a blizzard swept through..in Sept., like 1988..went from 65F to 23F and 6" of snow with lightning...Had ice axes to safely cross a snow field (you crossed it in this video but it was WAY bigger when I was there! SUch a wonderful time. Your video was so cool!!

    You are flippin' amazing. I only hope to have the courage and stamina that you have in your adventures. I am getting involved later in life at 54, but excited about it. I may be hindered by age and not in the best of shape, but I am living with the knowledge that the better part of my life is behind me, so what the hell, why not just go for it. If it kills me, I died doing my adventure. (And I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid of getting old without living my best life) I'm just waiting for Alabama to close the gates of Hell (100°+ down here in Mobile) so I can get back outside and condition more.
    Thank you Dixie for documenting all your experience for us beginners!

I worried for you Dear!! But,, YOU DID IT!! More than I can say for myself, who only talks or dreams about getting fit and not scared to get out into the outdoors and brave the boonies I would love....I've only been simple camping, years ago. I'm in my mid 60's and hubby can't do much...I don't want to really be alone...God Bless Your Strength and Fortitude! Thanks so much! You ARE A ANGEL of The Mountain Trails!! Have fun in NZ!!

    Wow! When I saw you butt-scootin’ down those rocks, boy did that bring back memories for me. Not far from that very spot I was stuck on a ledge. In a panic I was in that flight or fright mode. My legs were frozen. I was following my husband up the trail. Little did I know he was off trail. We had been hiking for about 10 hours, it was nearing dark and I was exhausted when I came to a hill of dirt. It seemed like nothing but by this point My legs were so shaky that knew if I misstepped I was falling 300 feet down rocks and boulders. So I just froze. Crying in a panic I just started praying. And out of nowhere came 2 hikers. They were above me and said “how did you get down there?” They told me to turn around. They met me at the switchback and helped me get back on trail. Paul and David. That was back in September 2017. They were truly my trail angels that day. Paintbrush will always be my favorite trail. Keep hiking and inspiring folks to get outdoors Dixie🥾🥾🤎🙏🏼

    Back in the past like 20+ years ago I was doing a packing trip in the Sangre De Christo Mountains in Colorado headed up to to a lake near one of the Crestone Peaks. Suddenly from the North a storm blew over the ridge and we were already near a ridge line just above timberline. My son, his friend, and myself did not even have the time to grab a tarp out of my pack. In the trail we were in a slight depression/drainage area and we had to squat for the lightening stance. It happened so quickly we could not go down towards tree line. With the hail, sleet, and rain with lightning all around it was intense. This was at over 11K feet in elevation and I've never been that close to lightening strikes. Once the lightening abated we made our way to some granite outcroppings near some trees where we pulled out a tarp to shield from the continuing rain.

    I feel like you are safer in a hole/ditch. The lightning pose is about getting as close as to the ground as possible. You can't get closer than being in the ground.

      You could tell in the audio the dude was freaking out from storm to storm (cloud to cloud) lightning type thunder (not as loud and abrupt). That doesn't rule out a ground strike but if your hair isn't wet you can at least tell something is developing where you're standing on the ground because it will stand up and geez gtfo or get in the lightning stance. Regardless, yeah a crapshoot when above treeline and read converging storms and hope for the best because that's where you're at.

    Nothing like being on an exposed ridge during a lightning storm to make one feel alive! I hiked that very trail summer 2020 and it was amazing. Dawn hiking down Cascade Canyon towards Jenny Lake, no people around yet, just a porcupine and a huge bull moose 20 yards ahead of me on the trail. What a special place.

    I just got back from the Tetons. The notification for this came up while I was there and I saved it until I got home. We tried to go hike the North Shore(Lake Superior/Minnesota/Gunflint Trail) at the end of our trip. We are from Michigan and Michigan is booked 6 months in advance, so Duluth and Grand Marais seemed to be the answer. We were so wrong. Same story there too!

    When I'm solo I almost exclusively use a 9x9 tarp and a one person bug shelter. All together, including guidelines and stakes the setup is 1 lb 10 oz and none of it is dyneema. The tarp is an REI nylon tarp and the bathtub of the Yama Mountain Gear bug shelter is silpoly. And it rocked in thunderstorms along the Allegheny Front in 2020.
    Add 1.75 ounces (lighter if you use dyneema cordage) and you can have 25ft of 550 cord. Hang the tarp from a ridgeline between two trees and you can give yourself a nice front porch with your trekking poles to enjoy the scenery.

    The most incredible thunderstorm I have ever witnessed was in 1984 when I was attending the Grand Teton Orchestral Seminar and living in a condo in Teton Village. The storm rolled in about 2:00AM and lasted over an hour. Very loud and very long thunderclaps, and long bursts of lightening which flashed for two to three seconds each and often lit the entire valley. I sat comfortably in an easy chair and watched from behind a double sliding glass door. Much more comfortable than your set up. My three roommates slept through it all. Their loss.
    Two years later, I moved to Wyoming and have been living here ever since.

    Welcome to Wyoming! (Or Wyomin', for us southerners). We spend our summers here; met the husband while working at Jackson Lake Lodge a while back. We call the twirly-tailed varments "whistle pigs". We're in the Bighorn Mountains at the moment but wanted to run over to the Tetons for a bit - this was all the motivation I needed! In Sept. we have a Wonderland hike in WA, so we best be getting our giddy-up on if we want to hit the Tetons this year. LOVED this video so much I watched it twice!

    Hi Dixie; thanks for these great videos showing all the beautiful country in the US. I was worried when I saw the other hiker dip down in the lightning position, but glad nothing happened. Many ponchos are made slightly oversize so that it is possible to wear your pack underneath them. I have one in black, but stitched down the sides & I look like batman wearing it, but it means my pack doesn't get wet, so is lighter as there is less moisture clinging to it. Also the carabiniers on the poncho - if you have loops in the end of the tie-down lines, these could make a lark's foot hitch over the tie-down point, saving a little weight. Cheap rubber gloves, dish washing style, can be cut up to make elastic bands for tie-downs. HTH & happy trails!
