17 Miles Of Snowshoeing Grand Tetons: Overnight Backpacking

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

What other natural phenomenon/biology you want me to go over on my next backpacking trip?

[@dickcox2250]

Quickly becoming my favorite hiking YT channel.

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

Thank you so much 🙏🏾

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.

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

It definitely felt longer than it really was! Thanks for watching Ron!

[@francosismundo371]

i love how you casually explain the biology of anything ... smart :))

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

Thanks!

[@AprilAdventuring]

This is amazing. Hearing you chat about the UV light was so fun! I live and die by mine in the backcountry :D

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

Thanks! I'm gonna need to snag me one of those lights :) they're super convenient

[@eaglescoutbushcraft6228]

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!

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

Wow, thanks! I hope you are able to get that winter camping in. Its so much more difficult (in a good way)

[@indaygiliw8312]

Cool video and the mountains are beautiful.

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

Thank you! It was absolutely gorgeous out there :)

[@AllThingsWild.]

Love the video!

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

Thanks River! 🙌🏾

[@TrilogyHiking]

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!

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

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

[@Rémy-130]

Favorite video yet! Loved the lectures on UV light sterilization and erosion.

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

Chris!! Thanks ma man!

[@hawkwind769]

I'll be back for questions later😆🤙🏽

the cut out at 27:57 funny asf

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

haha Russ is classic af

[@advanturecantstop901]

de inflated happens from cold..my does too..like last time i setup few hours before go sleep, and was de inflated..and push enough air..no problem

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

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

[@advanturecantstop901]

@@TheBackpackingBiologist i like Thermarest valve better than most pads..but i think couple grams heavier than others..

[@aurtisanminer2827]

4:51. Grouse are natures surprise helicopters that suddenly spring into flight right next to you while alone in the bear infested wilderness!

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

yesss! I thought it was a grouse. Thanks!

[@NooberTrOlL]

sweet video

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

Thanks!

[@aurtisanminer2827]

14:45. I think mud water is better than arrowhead water. Lol

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

haha dude, I feel like I needed a chaser with that arrowhead water lol. Give me filtered snow runoff any day

[@aurtisanminer2827]

@@TheBackpackingBiologist lol. Yea, it’s my least favorite bottled water. Always leaves me thirsty for other water.

[@burningjoe]

burr!!!!!! beautiful tho!!!!

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

Super cold! But still the prettiest hike ever 😍

[@rrittenhouse]

The guest for some reason reminds me of John Ladarola from TYT🤣👍

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

Lol I’ll tell him you said that 😂

[@benjaminkennedy3913]

Dude your videos are awesome! What month was this trip? What goes into deciding when to go for it outside of the summer months?

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

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!

[@healthcoachadrian]

Good video man! What are you recording with?

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

Thanks! I’m using a Sony a6400 with a 10-18mm lens and a Rode NTG shotgun mic. For the POV shots, I’m using a GoPro 7. Cheers!

My brother loves almonds. What brand were you eating in this video. I would love to give it as a gift

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

The brand is Blue Diamond, spicy dill pickle flavor. Would highly recommend

[@advanturecantstop901]

have you seen Pink/Red color like blood on snow? last year at Hidden lake lookout, WA i saw..than i read at news saying it is type of bacteria..

[@TheBackpackingBiologist]

No, I haven't seen that! I've only heard of that bacteria being in Antarctica, had no idea it could be found in WA! Super cool
