Welcome back to Montana. The Cabinets are a lot of fun!Those early season hikes can be really tough!

What dates were you in there? I think we camped at that little campsite right next to your truck and noticed someone was backpacking! We only went a few miles up that trail and it’s beautiful!

Thanks, great trip! love the wilderness.

Was that Cougar Peak Lookout?

Oh man i feel u on the Cramps. On the way out of Moran Basin last year both my hamstrings cramped up and i couldnt walk. Never had that happen before...and the pain as u know is excruciating. Thank god Bird Dog had some electrolites. Saved my tail that day. FYI Gatoaide isnt good for plants,even if it is high in electrolytes. Beautiful sunset shots. Using the drone to capture sunsets is my favourite thing now. Throw a CPL filter on there and it really adds depth to those clouds. Great video...perfect length...was doing stair stepper while watching...and it was 4D submersive. It was like i was there hiking along with ya man! lol

Now that was an adventure. Nothing like being in the middle of nowhere and have a medical. Glad it worked out. Some beautiful country and Timber is looking great. Take care, Al

Nice little early season trip. Those leg cramps can be brutal. Last fall I got camp all set up at Silver Lake and took about an hour nap. Woke up and as I was hanging my legs over the edge of my hammock to put my boots on, leg cramps came on hard in the back of my thighs. Had no choice but to limp around in agony for a little bit, hyperventilating to blow off some CO2 and try to alkaline my blood a big to counteract the lactic acid which I (correctly, I think) suspected was responsible for the cramps. Thankfully didn’t get them on the hike in. Interestingly, if they hit while on the trail, it’s the front of my thighs. But yeah, I’m learning to be cautious about letting my legs dangle over the edge of my hammock after a while on the trail. Might try to have antacids on hand to take prophylactically for the lactic acid. Plus the calcium is supported to help.

That road cut looks inviting.Lotsa flowers but no butterflies?

Trail signs aren't all chewed up like in the Bob. Will be at Red's Horse Ranch later this summer.

Yes, I have been working my way thru the video "catalog"....but this scenery is the most dramatic and beautiful I have yet seen. Holy you-know-what...I could die happy after seeing that lake view an min.11:10

Great looking outing. I sure enjoy looking back through these while having Saturday morning coffee. The trail is calling.✌️

thank you again for a little snow, a nice hike and a beautiful butterfly!

Thanks so much again for a great hiking video. I just finished trying to watch one from 2010 or 2013....your filming skills have come a long way since then! Do so enjoy simple narration style and letting the mountain scenery do the real talking!

beautiful meadows of wild flowers....too bad about Fern Lake, but Granddaddy and the others more than made up for that. Sigh...just beautiful.

Another great filming of gorgeous Fall scenery - thanks for shring!! Of course a questions: at min. 31:00 - any idea what that man-made pile of rocks was that the dogs were next to?

Hey, that’s my secret spot.

So nobodies gonna talk about that Sasquatch down by the river ? The one staring at you from behind the tree

Nice adventure, well done!

Way to go in those far back stretches of trail, Pilgrim !

Ok...some years have passed since this was filmed, but it was great watching it now - thanks! And your reply to one of the comments asking what kind of dog Timber is answered my curiosity, too. Part husky....I guess that explains the wider head and the bit of a neck ruff. What a GREAT dog....always look forward to seeing him in your videos. BUT....I have a question about that ruined (?) structure at the top of the hill at about min. 14:35 to 14:50. Would you share whatever you might know about it??

We LOVE the Wind River Range! ❤

I agree with @ursinidaho - beautiful scenery and light. More dogs than usual! I'd like to know more about them. that cute mostly black shepherd who always seems to have a stick in it's mouth, ready to play. And Timber with his funny tipped ears and un-sheperd-like face. I can always tell it's him, even from a long distance, by the way he holds his tail, waving back and forth like a flag! Best wishes to all the dogs and...oh yeah...to the hikers, too! Thank you for sharing another wonderful hiking trip.

Hi there. Love your videos, started watching them back at start of covid 2020. Do you know where The Hiking Hippy lad is. You used to hike with him and he had his own KZbin channel?

Howdy, new subscriber here... I live near Flathead Lake. I want to do two solo trips a year. Maybe 4- 5 days. My goal is to see no/few people and lots of fishing (I can go mid-week). I've been going through your videos...Out of all your trips, do you have 1-2 recommendations to look at? Thanks, Steve

Tamarack Lake....Oh, the light, the light!!

Just discovered this channel and now addicted! Thanks so much for the beautiful footage and, most especially, for focusing on the wild flowers occasionally. Wish you all well.

You guys are way ahead of us here in the snow melt department. That first camp was sweet! String lights were a nice compliment to your camp. That second camp was pretty nice! Good crew, the woods, hard to beat!

My 3 older brothers used to go hunting near Minami, they came across a cabin where a family lived there off grid, visited with them a bit said they were quite Interesting ppl.

Not only are you walking trails I am really familiar with, you’re wearing my boonie sir. Too bad you didn’t go up and over Warren pass from Johnson lake and stay a night at oreamnos lake. The most terrifying thunderstorm I have ever been inside caught me up there one night. I do mean caught inside of it. And terrifying is an understatement. Tamarack is one of the best lakes up there, good choice. The views from Warren peak are pretty far out too. I’ve had bear problems at Edith lake. Hike on my friend.

looks like heaven on earth fellas ❤

As common as mud cracks and ripple marks may be in these parts, they're always a treat to find. What a great way to spend a few days.

This was the best video I have seen. It is hard to compare but this was full of Dogs, sweeping vistas, really good Dogs, beautiful meadows, and hiking with the Dogs! You really filmed this well and it was so enjoyable to watch! Thank you for taking the time to film.all.of this beauty. It is so worth it to see it later.

What a great trip, always seems to end to soon. You make the best videos!

🏔️👍😎

Great as expected. Carry on. Oh, Go Cats beat the Griz.

Camp time matters! I always love seeing how much fun you have with friends in the woods.

Thanks for the Terrific Production; top notch all the way around 🌈🙏🌹💜🙏

Is this the same Fish Lake that's adjacent to a USFS airstrip?

Yes, shoutout to those that clear trails! We went on 14 mile hike last weekend in ID (no motos allowed) and we had to climb over, under and around many dozens of downed trees. Those will get cleared fairly soon, but it's nice to have all groups that are allowed on the trails help. I've packed saws, and other tools, many time as I try to give back to the trails.

I need a Timber too

Was in that area in 2021 - same thing with the rain and thunder for 2/3rds of the time for me...very humbling.

So nice! Love the music. You create all the music, right? I was wondering what town you base all your travels from?

I grew up in this area, Wallowa, loved hiking there. my son does a annual camping trip there also, loved the video, brings back the spectacular views of the area

Hi everyone.

Nice relaxed backpacking trip Travis! And two great campsites. It's amazing how often cold air gets trapped in a drainage.

Very fun! Your joy in the outdoors is infectious. Fourth trip of the year for you and I haven't done squat! I better get busy or I'll be dragging ass come August. ;-) Hope to remedy that real soon!

I didn't see any Crow flying around. Nice vid as always Travis. Can't wait until your "special guest" does a Cameo with you!

Even though I hate when a trip ends, the after meal is always something to look forward to. Thanks for sharing your camping trip! :) :)

Beautiful video!
