Thanks so much for your support!

Thank you very much!

That is such a beautiful sentiment, love to hear the passion for hiking never dies!

Hey! For my sleep system I use a Neo Air X-Lite womens-sized inflatable mattress and a generic MEC brand sleeping bag. For a pillow I usually stuff whatever clothes I’m not wearing into my sleeping bag’s bag!

Thank you Voyager Vyom! The entire loop would certainly be a lot for a day hike but perhaps you could do a 1 night backpacking trip at Merlin Meadows (I have another video on this trip if you’re interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jV7CZI2brK9pgJY ) or into Baker Lake/Red Deer Lakes. I find when I can’t convince my friends to head out into the backcountry with me, I head out alone! Sometimes solo adventures are so much fun!!

@@littleloobigworld Just checked out your channel :) It provides a nice itinerary into the Rockies haha. I day hike solo all the time, it can be difficult finding reliable people unfortunately. I tried solo backpacking once and did Maligne Pass; unfortunately it got very sad at night time LOL. Are you part of any bagpacking/hiking groups where its easy to find like minded individuals for backcountry adventures?

Try checking out “hiking alberta” or “fun hiking alberta” on Facebook - I’m sure if you were to search around similar pages you’ll find some people to head out with!

Wohoo! You’ve got some great times ahead Andrew! We went on the first week of July!

@@littleloobigworld Ahhh that would explain the hordes of attacking flies. Good wildflower time though.

Ervin, thank you so much for your kind words! I hope to upload some new content soon!

Thanks for your comment KB! We went May 15th… beware of some really cold temperatures overnight during the early season though!

OutOnTrail, thank you so much! Love to hear you enjoyed this video, if you'd like more content like this on your feed please subscribe.

Yes indeed! We found out later on the news that it was an emaciated lone wolf who was quite desperate for some food.

@@littleloobigworld figures---poor thing!

Hello! Yes this is the sawback trail & we hiked from August 15-18, 2020 - the weather was sunny and hot for most of our trail with a short rain storm while at Baker Lake. Only thing I have to say is there were SO many black/deer flies and mosquitos at that time last summer.

Hello Greg! Thanks for your comment, I use a pot set that came with my portable backpacking stove (which I bot on Amazon - link below). It is a deceivingly big pot, I've had no trouble cooking boxes of KD and even 500g of gnocchi in it. You may need something bigger if it's the two of you. GSI has a great little set that I have used before and that is better suited for two people, I'll link that below as well.

Hey! It took us roughly 2 hours to get to camp from the trailhead

Thank you Neelakshi! We went on the first week of July!

Hey Alfrancis! We drove down the road and onto the four wheeling terrain, we crossed two river beds and parked in the valley then walked into the trailhead

you rock chick

I read the same thing but really didn't run into any problems, there is a section of trail where the ground was very muddy (so we couldn't see a distinct trail) but there were markers on the trees every few metres to keep us on track. We carried a map with us, of course, but no serious route finding!

We left our car at Norquay (we only had one car between the two of us) and were lucky enough to have a friend come pick us up in Lake Louise. If you have two cars I would definitely opt to leave one on each end + the drive out there is spectacular anyways

So happy you enjoyed the video Justin. It was so hot coming over the pass that day, seeing the lake was the best reward!! Appreciate you checking out my channel ❣️

It totally is! The back end towards lake Louise was amazing, especially Luellen Lake 😍

I’m so happy we could inspire the urge to get out an explore the beautiful backcountry! This campsite is called Yoho Lake and then other was Marvel Lake (BR13), you can find both on the Parks Canada reservation website; I’d say either would be a great option as a first time backcountry trip because the hikes in aren’t so strenuous! The sites are typically square “tent pads” which are hard ground to pitch your tent on, some are grouped together and some are more private within the trees. It’s typical to have anywhere between 3-15 tent pads at eat campsite. Both campsites were equipped with either bear lockers or a pulley system to hang food and all campsites either have an outhouse or a vault toilet. Yoho Lake campsite was at a higher elevation than some of the other places I’ve slept, so it was definitely chilly... bringing warm, thermal layers and a good sleeping bag is always a good move in the Rockies. Thanks for all your great questions, I hope I was able to provide some clarity. I will be posting more informative videos and tutorials in the coming months about backpacking and hiking; I would love it if you subscribed to my channel! 😊

@@littleloobigworld Thank you very much for the info! Happy camping/hiking! (Subscribed, BTW 👍)
