Snow shoeing is like walking in soft sand... it is tireing! 5 miles snowshoeing is like hiking 10-15 miles regular. 17 miles is a pretty aggressive hike on snowshoes. But, what a great challenge and experience... nothing like snowshoeing... the mountains are extra peaceful and beautiful in the snow. Thanks for the great video.

Your channel is fresh compared to all these UL backpackers channels I’ve seen. Thank you for filming and sharing your adventures with all of us. My goal this year is to get ready for winter backpacking since my work keeps my busy 7 days a week during summer months. Cheers!

Great video!!!! You guys should backpack (and film) to Sahale Glacier Camp in North Cascades National Park, Washington. It's as incredible if not more than Solitude in Tetons. Bet you'd love it!

Wow, I just looked Sahale and it looks like nothing I've seen before! definitely putting it on the list! Thanks for the rec :)

Turns out I didn't close the locking mechanism of the sleeping pad so it slowly seeped air out in the night 😅 Lesson learned!

Dude your videos are awesome! What month was this trip? What goes into deciding when to go for it outside of the summer months?
@TheBackpackingBiologist2 жыл бұрын
Thanks! I filmed that May of 2021! Still a ton of snow up there heading into the summer. The main factors for backpacking outside of summer months are temperature, terrain and gear. If you're good on all 3 factors you can pretty much camp anywhere. We were solid on the gear and temperature this trip, the terrain is the thing that took us by surprise. We also talked to the rangers to see what was our best option, which is something everyone should do if they're not familiar with the area!
