The Bighorns are an underrated treasure. Done 5 or 6 trips there, never disappointed

I have both... the important thing is knowing where you're going also how high you're going... Even if there are trees in your area... if you go above the tree line you do need a tent... The best thing about some hammocks are they do not take a lot of space... so you can bring both on most trips... Tent,Tarp, hammock is not much to bring... A hammock also makes a good chair if you need to relax somewhere and catch up on your energy

From the DG, grab a bag of Cocoa DinoBites cereal, parcel into ziplocs with some powdered milk and have a high calorie chocolate cereal bfast with milk, just add water. Add a Carnation chocolate instant bfast for even more calories...

Someone needs to tell Rob that Texas has to be different, so “south Texas”, north Texas etc isn’t what you think. Big Bend is considered west Texas. He’s going to get flak for calling it south Texas on his vid, haha!

First bear? I see that you had a good smoke afterwards! 😊 I've only seen them retreating at full gallop, except for the yearling that I saw with a small group of hikers in the Smokeys last summer in a rhododendron thicket down in a cove while we were on the crest. He was so freaked that he didn't know which way to run, which gave me just enough time to unzip my shoulder pocket, but not enough to get my hand on my phone.😖

Hey Daniel! This bear didn't care at all. It was a great experience for me. I was expecting it to take off too as that's what I always hear about black bears. Glad it stuck around for us!

not sure how I would like to see a Bear on the trail. But what an experience I'm glad you were a safe distance from the bear. And after your second review of the Peak Refuel Bison meal, I will be eating mine in the backyard. I don't want to be on trail with a mediocre meal.

@ yeah, sites 6 and 7 are side by side and share that same awesome rock porch area. 7 is a little larger of a campsite. The proximity between sites is the only drawback to that spot.
