We were on opposite sides of a very large park, but that area looks amazing as well - I guess I will have to plan another trip eventually. @@jemerson39
Incredibly well-composed. Emotional. Long a dream trip of mine that seems reachable and worth doing. Nice to see that Megalite out there; I have carried mine on so many trips for so long.
Thank you. I try to capture, share, and remember some of the emotions from my trips. That tent was great - the four person version was a little heavy and bulky, but the extra space was so nice. Let me know if you do ever take the trip and have any questions - I am no expert, but would be glad to share my experience from this trip. @karukun0212
We were carrying about 30 lbs. (13.6 kg) of food each at the beginning of the trip, and it was not really enough. We kept the trash volume down by only bringing a few of the single-serve packaged meals. But a week-long trip in the same area would still be amazing. What area are you considering.
It was VERY different from the dense deciduous forests I am used to, but we drove about 150 miles (241 km) of the artic circle, so it makes sense. Also, those shrubby things are technically "trees" - a type of willow I believe.
Thanks. it is an awesome place. So, we used Caltopo to map out routes and look at how steep passes were, as well as reading trip reports from others in the same area. From Caltopo, you can select the area and scale you want, and get it printed through Mountyn on waterproof paper. That worked really well, because we got exactly what we wanted, but I do think the lead time on Mountyn printing is kind of long.
I just watched your amazing video and i wondered something : when was it ? because i went to Brooks Range with my father (we are french) on the july 2022 and i met up a guy with his sister in a van that drop us off in the middle of the Dalton highway on the 26th of July 2022, was it you ? your faces seem familiar to me ... If not, thank you for that video that remember me that outstanding mountains
Imagine the ineptitude of a yabby beating on a rock in a creek because it can't feed it. There's something distinctly brilliant in nature's awareness of the stupidity of abuse.
This is really incredible and inspiring. Thank you for sharing this with the world
I appreciate it. It was a mentally and physically challenging trip, but also really fun.
Beautiful trip, I was there this summer, brings back fond memories
Thanks @jemerson39. Where you in the Brooks Range, or somewhere else? There is a lot of beautiful land up there.

What a beautiful place!
Truly amazing. I want to go back eventually.
this is gorgeous and peaceful
Gates of the Artic is such a gorgeous place. I hardly had to think about where I pointed the camera.
17 days is a lot of food and consumables! And a lot of trash by the end! Just started planning for my half as long trip in June.

Wow.
What planet is this?
@@UniversalDirt A planet with very few trees, which took some getting used to.
WoW!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
No trees very surprised

Awesome video! How did you plan where you were going to hike? Any maps I should look into if I wanted to do this?

Enzo! Of course I remember you all. We had such an amazing time in the Brooks Range. I also watched your trip video - I love all your mountain shots.
Sure ! I really loved that place and wish to go back there again one day @@teatimewithja
I am sure I will make it back there some day as well.

Hey. I am not sure I understand your comment. Can you explain a bit more?
Fn cool
It was a great trip. Based on your handle, I would image you have been some amazing places as well?
