Your solo adventure through the Eastern Sierra looks incredible! The Mammoth Crest Loop offers such breathtaking views, especially once you reach the crest and see the Sierra Nevada range laid out before you. It must have been amazing to camp at Barney Lake under the stars after such a rewarding hike. Very nice vidoe for sure 👌

You have inspired me. Thank you for your love of the mountains. Yes, I love the editorial at the end.

I really appreciate your enthusiasm and resilience. I too feel that the Sierra Nevada have few equals in this world. I am currently living in Chile, which is also pretty spectacular, but I have yet to find that feeling that the Sierras gave me during the approximately 50 years that I backpacked there. A driving force every year that I lived in California was to go on one to two, seven to fourteen day trips into that awesome backcountry every year. I really miss it. I have followed your videos for a few years now and congratulate you on the variety of presentations that you have used. They just keep getting better.

So jealous. I have had my fun backpacking and hiking over numerous mountain ranges but my knees and lungs are not what they used to be. When driving or looking at Google Maps I still plan out climbs. Yes, the Eastern approach is the best. Thanks for not being an Influencer with product tie ins. Your editing and effort are appreciated.

Best place on earth 👌🏼 completely agree!

So much snow in August! Is that usual? Andy

So beautiful! Nice video!!!👏🏽

how blessed are you both to be able to enjoy such beauty! thank you for your videos. I have stumbled on you and Harmen only recently, and how happy I am to be able to enjoy what you have traversed in a small way! God bless and keep you safe in your travels.

Adorable puppies

Been going here for past 35 years. I love this place and is my favorite too. Spend 3 weeks a year here.

Fantastic campsite amigo way to go, jealous

Nice video. Great hike. I did it a few years ago and pitched my tent in the exact same spot. Lol

Very nice. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video.

Great video! Quick question when you go to those places to film for KZbin do you need a film permit or am I fine to record? Was just wondering because you’ve inspired me to go on my own adventures but I don’t want to brake any rules or laws

Nothing makes me happier than watching your hikes bro! Thank you for your work!🙏

Beautiful filming!!!! Thank you❤. Love backpacking parts of the area that route is now on the list🙌

Where in the San Juans?

Fantastic hike! I camped at Barney Lake two weeks ago, so beautiful up there. Can't believe you get all your gear in that small pack! Regarding the talus field going up out of Deer Lakes, it looks like the trail has been tramped down so you can actually see it to follow it. Can you provide more details of what it's like and if you can actually see a trail to follow once you get up there?

Question…which size bear canister is that?

Las mejores vacaciones a nivel lujo las pase ahí!

nothing like the eastern sierras

Unbelievable beauty! Are there any wild animals?

Great Video! I was just thinking that there were no new adventures to watch and I didn't want a gear review. This really hit the spot. I'll have to watch your stuff a bit. It's a lot like what I was trying to do with my recent stuff.

Hi Scott, I love your neat and positive narration as well as scenic views beautifully captured. I should add: in every video😊

Loving your videos!

Just love watching your videos ! So informative and inspiring ! Thank you ! 🙏

Another epic video!! Love watching all your backpacking videos. We're leaving for a weeks backpack in Desolation Wilderness in 2 days. Your videos got me pumped to get out there! Thank you!

Infectious, as always. Great job!

North lake. Great video!

Is it ok to eat close to your tent?

That would be North Lake. Thanks for your content. I love the Sierras too and enjoy each of your videos. I often travel the same trails as you. Someday I hope our paths cross. Thanks again!

Nice. Thank you for posting. Ah, the Eastern Sierra ….

I do 4 nights solo quite often. Going to Yosemite in November. Thanks

Always good to get high as quickly as possible -- and the eastern Sierra excels for that purpose. Thanks for making the extra effort to bring us along! Oh, and the OG hikers call those shallow lakes "tarns", probably after the Scotsman whose name now applies to the wilderness area you're in!

Delightful. As usual, your presentarion makes me feel like I was there too and would always no what was coming up next if i got up off the couch and started walking. The preview at the beginning is effective. What was the date of your hike?

scottie fitz at it again! I hike up to crystal lake all the time and always take a break to soak in that same view overlooking lake george and mary. you've convinced me to do this trip

Great video, Scott. Thanks for product info. What kind of sun hoodie and cap are you wearing here?

Awesome video, as usual!!! Can’t wait to get out there myself….

Scott, your content is amazing, informative & soul soothing. You’ve got the legs, lungs & heart of a bionic man. Thank you for sharing your adventures, specially your Yosemite hikes.

Another fine vid Scotty. Cool to share your gear too. That was a great hike.

Aw, so beautiful--and quite a long walk! Thanks for showing how you pack your stuff, I'm a beginner so need the hints and a lot of practice. Tried the mattress I got and it is so darn noisy--haha, will keep everyone awake I guess. I like the string light idea. Hope to get permits somewhere in those gorgeous mountains next summer. Thanks for the beautiful hiking scenery!!

My favorite areas of the sierras. Thank you so much for sharing!

I just returned from eastern Sierra realizing how fortunate I am to live on the coast but have Sierras so close. Ur campsite looked identical to mine including the lake but it's not just shows the beauty of it all. Buen Camino

Love the stoke! 🤙

Nice video.....thx

Beautiful shots! New subscriber here 😊

Thanks for the wonderfully filmed and edited video! Kearsarge is such a great Eastside pass...gets you to such good stuff! That devastated part of the trail from 2022 was not from avalanche, but from mud/rockslide during August monsoon season. That slide happened the same day that Death Valley got major damage from flash floods. We (my wife and I) escaped that day from Center Basin where we got blocked (from heading south on the JMT) by a flash flood at 11,000ft! Crazy. We escaped (it was our 7th straight day of rain) via Kearsarge and had to negotiate that part of the trail just hours after the slide.

Little Lakes Vally (through which Rock Crk flows) is the most beautful Eastern Sierra bang for the hiking buck. Mosquito Flat pkg lot where you left your car is one of the highest paved roads in the Sierra (10,000ft) . A close rival is Horseshoe Meadow way back south out of Lone Pine. The relatively flat Little Lakes Valley trail is one thing, but getting out of the car at 10K and huffing down the trail can be challenging to the unacclimated, which is most people. Your Timelapse of your camp during the night was GORGEOUS.

50 years ago I hiked the same area. The scenery in your video took my breath away and brought back memories of my hike, such as catching and releasing golden trout, my faithful Irish setter with his little backpack, and a late night snow storm. OMG, I forgot how spectacular the scenery is. Thanks for sharing.
