Very cool man. I camp out on BLM land in the desert. I love it. I still have been harassed by the rangers but that's because I was by my car. Once you're backpacking in, it's just you and nature. Be aware the cartels do grow ops out on BLM land in California
@StepMassive 23 сағат бұрын
Awesome-where in the desert do you usually go? Thanks for the heads-up about grow ops-staying aware is key. Safe adventures!"

@StepMassive the area between the 40 and old route 66/Amboy Creater known as Mojave Trails/Heart of Mojave. I tend to do more bicycle camping there. I also enjoy the areas around Red Rock Canyon State Park by Cantil. Those tend to have a lot more people though. Check on Campendium for the exact locations. They have a filter for BLM land in there

Do you ever take your shoes off for river crossings? Just go barefoot?
@StepMassive 5 күн бұрын
Good question! I usually don’t-either because it’s too cold, too rocky, or I just don’t want to deal with taking my pack off. I hike in trail runners, so they dry pretty fast, and it’s way easier to just plow through!

Great questions! My pack for this trip was about 15 lbs, before food and water. For meals, I like to keep it simple but tasty-mostly dehydrated meals, snacks like jerky, hard cheeses, dried fruit, and English muffins for breakfast. Feel free to ask away-I’m always happy to help!

i thought the bear canister had to be at least 100 feet from campsite ?
@StepMassive Жыл бұрын
Most Yosemite rangers actually suggest 30-40 feet. You want to be close enough that you'll hear when a bear tries to get it, so you can scare them off. In this video, the morning shot was after I already went and grabbed the canister. I like to make my coffee while still in "bed" :)

Nice man! I just did a solo trip a few weekends ago to Henry Coe (my first trip there) and I loved it. So easy to find solitude there and just take in the beauty of the area. Since I was there in May on a high rain year the wildflowers were amazing. Had a skunk visit my campsite around midnight lol. I’m definitely excited to head back there and check out some other areas. Appreciate you sharing!
