    Honestly, I usually have mine on top of my gear, right below my hammock. There is also a dog under my hammock. His job is to give me enough time to get my hammock unzipped and grab the spray.
  2. First time into the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness!

    It was our 24th Fall campout! We were taking our first trip in to the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness and would be going in for 8 days. I specifically chose a route that was shorter in the hopes that...
  3. I cannot wait to do more routes in the Sawtooth!...

    I cannot wait to do more routes in the Sawtooth! For the record, that wasn't me who lugged in the raft. But they did use it on 2 different lakes so I guess it was worth it.
  4. VIDEO: First time in to the Sawtooth Wilderness!

    It was a long haul for me to get down to the Tin Cup Trailhead, but I was incredibly excited to do the Alice-Toxaway loop. Maybe the most popular route in the Sawtooths.

    I linked up with my group...

    I'm with you, I think that 11' is fine (haven't tried 12' to be honest), but I think that the width is what I am looking for. My Chameleon (57" width I think) didn't work for me. I had plenty of...

    Love that!

    Thank you! The 62" on my El Dorado is just not quite wide enough. Granted, I've had plenty of great nights in it. But to get those great nights I have to sleep with the bug net on & closed to allow...

    Thanks! I'll check that out!

    Thank you! I'll check both of those out!
  12. Looking for recommendations on a hammock

    I've been hammocking for many years and I'm still trying to find the perfect hammock.

    So far I've used a Kammok Roo, Dutchware Chameleon & Warbonnet El Dorado. For me the Kammok was by far the...

    You won't be disappointed!



    How cool! This trip was nearly at the height of the season. No bugs, but too many people. Sounds like the weather does whatever it wants in there!

    I would definitely put the Winds on your list if you've never been there! This trip was the first time I've seen a glacier! It's high country, so you'll need to acclimate, but the area I was in is...

    Great comment! So much here I want to respond to:

    - I can imagine that the bugs are pretty bad in there earlier in the year. Near me in the Bitterroots, at this time of the year, there's not much...
  16. VIDEO: First time in the Wind River Range

    This was my first trip into the Wind Rivers. The group I was going in with had been there the previous 2 years. This year they wanted to hit one of the most popular areas in the range, Titcomb Basin....

    There were signs all around the lake saying to chase off the goats. Timber wanted to chase them of course. I didn't want him chasing them, but I did let him keep them out of camp.

    Sounds like an amazing trip! Some of that sounded like Type II fun, which will only get fonder with time. :)

  20. VIDEO: Hiking the Idaho Centennial Trail in the Great Burn

    This route is one that I've had on my list for about a year now ever since I saw another video from the same area.

    We got to the trailhead late in the day and the smoke in the air made it seem...

    On our next trip (video coming), the goats were even closer. An annoyance even. I hope you can get up to Montana, it is an incredible place to backpack!

  23. VIDEO: Four Lakes Loop in the Southern Cabinets - Montana

    This is an area and a route that I had hiked a few years ago. When I did it the first time it instantly became one of my favorite hikes.

    The first time I was here it was really smoky. This time...

    It is an amazing area and I am happy to call it home. I'm looking forward to getting back into the Mallard Larkins area. Always tough hiking.

    This was a great trip! I could've done without the mosquitos, but that is part of it. Thanks for watching... again!

    I love the Wasatch as well, I would love to do a winter trip in there or in the Uintas.

    Thank you! The fire was key for us. We camped in that spot knowing that there was ample firewood that was easy to get. When the wind was howling in the morning we were mighty glad we had plenty of...

    Camping in the deep snow is definitely a thing unto itself!

    Those saws are Silky Big Boys. Highly recommend!




    Round trip it was just over 5 miles... a long 5 miles.



    I shot my drone footage using the DJI Mavic Air 2
  33. VIDEO: A winter storm in the Bitterroots

    2021 has been a fairly mild winter in our corner of the Rockies. We've gone out scouted many different places in the area looking for snow. We finally decided that we'd travel to the Bitterroots for...

    I haven't done much in Selway. In fact I went on a trip there for the first time this year. I'm hoping to do a bunch more in there because it is truly beautiful country!

  37. VIDEO: In to the smoky Bob Marshall Wilderness

    This was our annual 7 day, Fall Campout!

    We've been trying to do this route for a while and it always seemed like one thing or another kept us out. Circumstances were trying to keep us out again.....

    I left that for them. It was still very cold water!

    Yeah, I left him behind on this one. I was pretty sure that we would see a bear and I didn't want to take the chance... of course... we didn't see a bear.
  42. VIDEO: Cedar Lakes Loop in Montana's Cabinet Mountains Wilderness

    We started on this route on a Monday and so we were not expecting to see anyone....

    That all changed at the trailhead when we saw a couple campers and a day hiker. That's just the way it has been...

    It's that time of year... I'm having to make some "plan b" routes because there are fires close to where I want to go next.
  44. Yeah, not a big deal for someone who camps in...

    Yeah, not a big deal for someone who camps in Montana. I'm surprised to hear about bears there. I've never seen one in there and I can't remember seeing any sign either.
  45. It is a great area! Just got a report from...

    It is a great area! Just got a report from Wasatch Will and he said that there has been a problem bear in the area between Granddaddy Lake & Betsy Lake. It has gone as far as slashing people's gear....

    Yeah, I think that a fire is the only thing that will stop them.
  47. That is awesome! I hope to get around most of...

    That is awesome! I hope to get around most of those mountains before I'm done. It's getting harder to hang hammocks in the Uintas though, because there is so much beetle kill. In some areas there are...

    We did a loop from the Mirror Lake area a few years back in the fall and it was crowded even then. You can understand why though, it is a spectacular area!
  50. VIDEO: Granddaddy Basin in the High Uintas

    After not getting back to Utah for a few years, I finally made it to the High Uintas!

    Our plan was to go into the Granddaddy Basin and then figure out our route from there. There are so many lakes...
