I love my dragonfly tent!!

[@ItsAStephanieB]

Elephants 😅

[@Alioutdoors13]

Love you videos this is my outdoor channel and I was going to ask if you have any tips

[@hannahv8903]

Really enjoyed the video 😊 walking with a wombat in the forest is probably my favourite experience ❤

[@donald182]

That second encounter with those Bison looked like a once in a lifetime experience. And you know the camera didn’t do it justice. Amazing

[@zinger2967]

I’ve seen bison plenty of times at Elk Island National Park. I want to hike up the Cascade fire road this summer to the Panther River to try and see bison. So cool you got to see the reintroduced bison!

[@justicebdone7]

Always go through a quick load out of your companions, helps your viewers contemplate gear choices

[@nvtruant5994]

Wow, really enjoyed this! Any encounter with wildlife is such a treat but a herd of bison…priceless!!

[@ofthenearfuture]

It's cool to see you exploring this part of the Rockies/Banff NP, and really awesome you got see bison! It's definitely been an odd Spring and shoulder season this year...

[@brianadventures9622]

What an incredible shot of that camp site with the mountains in the back drop!n incredible!!

[@usmnnaseer]

Always wanted to experience this. Canada is so beautiful

[@christyperkins8985]

Just amazing video Justin! You guys are hard core pushing those miles, The highlight was the herd of Bison... EPIC!

[@RyanSchell]

Thank you for sharing that experience with the bison and for as long as you did. That had to be cool and surreal that far into the Backcountry.

[@brycewalburn3926]

I noticed you had a foam pad with you. Did you end up using that under your Helix?

[@skidaddledude1997]

You are so lucky to have seen the bison. They could have just stood there but they decided to run across your path and go up over the mountain.

[@michaelcrawford9425]

I always love watching your vidoes! You do such a great job filming. Thank you for making great content.

[@AlexDraghina]

Oh man - is that Kane Outdoors? I just subscribed to him a couple of days ago and I was just thinking that both of you have some of the best channels around - mixing in some gear stuff, but focusing more on the outdoor experience and general tips! Great to see this collaboration! And this trip? Oh man! I'm envious!

[@KaneDoesOutdoors]

Definitely a solid trip ✌️

[@Colby168]

Same problem with my Atmos 65. That hip belt is 💩. I adjusted my shoulder straps down with the velcro thing and that helped a lot but still not super happy with it. Getting the Arch Haul for Christmas.

[@tl231]

Recently found your channel, really enjoy the content 👍

[@KaneDoesOutdoors]

That was an awesome trip!

[@scottyplug]

J Money G!! Wow. Great vid. Cut off a little short, but still a good one. Fun to see you out with a fellow hiker, too.

[@Mike_Blanda]

One of your best videos man!!! This was serene to say the least! Those bison were amazing

Pushed hard on first day, worth the bisons ✨

[@tylernblaney]

Great video boys!

[@kdproductionsvlogs]

i just did last week a 12 hour hike from downtown banff walked up mount norqway and continues allllll the way to mystic lake!! it was incredible !! we shoulda broke the hike up into 2 days but we did it in one!! what an accomplishment ! i hope you enjoyed your awsome hike it looked awsome :)

[@kylesmamawat443]

Beautiful area to explore

[@declanmckeown323]

I have those same exact sunglasses! great video, just got home from a 10 mile day hike in the whites in NH!!

[@timothey_sullivan]

Awesome! (What are the glasses you're wearing - they are awesome! ) ALSO CONGRATULATIONS ON YOU WEDDING!!!!

[@daynamcneilly3078]

I have the same questio!? I want a pair haha

[@philsmith2444]

That crusty snow with loose powder underneath is the worst, when my big-ass 12x42 GV Wide Trails sink that’s about when I call it quits for the season. I have a 6 y/o Atmos 50 AG that’s just amazingly comfortable with 35lb, does yours have the AG suspension or is it the Airscape? Mine hugs my hips so well I could almost not even bother with the shoulder straps.

[@WeekendsOutsideFL]

Might not be the best pack for a long thru hike but I find that being 6’2” the Teton Scout 3400 seems to hug my body perfectly and I feel that it will be ideal for shorter to moderate length backpacking trips. Obviously shorter trips will be what I do before any longer ones. But I live in Florida and it’s summer so I’m waiting for the season to change before I go. 90 to 95 degrees with frequent rains aren’t ideal for backpacking when you can have 85 degrees and dry!

[@markexpose6108]

Hi. LIKE. LIKE. CAMPING. LANDSCAPE. SCENERIES.

[@musingwithreba9667]

OMG I want to hike there to see the bison! That was fricken awesome! It looks like a kind of tricky trail tho. I've never hiked in the Rockies. And only a few day hikes in the Appalachians in North Carolina. It would be cool to see a herd of bison that far in the middle of nowhere! When were they reintroduced Justin? It seems a pretty bealthy sized herd.

[@tinad2847]

Hey, I just started watching this video. I’m as far as the segment on the bear footprints (at about 5:30). I’m no bear expert. But, that looks like prints from the same bear, the “front” one being the larger back foot and the “back” one being the smaller front foot, walking in a typical cadence in a straight line. By the curve of toes, these look like they were made by a black bear (as opposed to a grizzly which has toes straight across). Anyway, I’m enjoying your video, so I’m going to get back to it now. 🤓👍

[@jeppej4265]

Oh man the bisons were a sight! Have you tried using skis instead of snowshoes? Looks like you could have done almost all the way on top of snow. Faster and lighter to use imho and going down is breeze!

[@JustinOutdoors]

I usually use skis when I know I will be on skis most of the time. The snowshoes I brought are quite a bit lighter than a pair of skis.

[@danielsingh9415]

So with the foam pad addition to the Helix, was that sufficient on frozen ground/snow? The Foam Shop here in Vancouver sells 1/8" CCF similar to GG's in a 48x96" roll and they will cut it to size to match our 25x72" Helix RW pads, tho idk about the taper. But 1/8" pad is more about having a wide enuf pad for protection/stealth than additional R-Value, tho they do sell thicker foam. I'm just wondering if the 1/8" pad tapered, will fit in the extra room of the Helix's stuff sack to make a complete 3-season kit 😜

[@ChrisHufnagel_Polymath]

Looks great!

[@JamesAugustineDCCCSPFASBE]

What’s the orange down jacket that you’re wearing?? Decathlon??

[@RobertGordon-ue6lc]

Nice video was wondering what kind of gloves are you using on this trip?

[@danpayan9468]

Use s tyvek sheet or heat sheet under pad or both?

[@scubahiker]

@JustinOutdoors what are your thoughts of the Insta360? I like the idea that you can get drone like shots when you are in the backcountry. Would you be able to use that as the sole camera for a backpacking trip? I currently use a GoPro, and I like the idea of the massive self stick getting you in the shot as well!

[@kaiminalualan7138]

Do you use the metal liner for your ursack? Thanks

[@kestelloak]

Does Canada allow the use of portable gas stove (for cooking) and a portable firepit (for the mood) in the mountain? Sorry. I don't know much about Canadian backpacking.

[@salladboL]

what kind of trekking poles were you using?

[@ItsAStephanieB]

Would you please post a link to the yogurt breakfast you referred to in the video? It sounds like the best breakfast ever!

[@JustinOutdoors]

done!

[@rockyracoonanddogman1720]

What winter coat were you wearing at camp?

[@danielsingh9415]

Just search Decathlon men's down jacket -29°C and that red one will pop up first

[@Shihabdeenrecreationalcyclist]

Hi how often do you backpack Trip

[@jeromyfarkas8391]

Thanks for posting! What trail is this?

[@johannlanglets6897]

What month was that?

[@charlesperry1051]

Beautiful hike. I hike mostly in black bear country and we either put food in a bear proof container or hang it high in a tree. I have never seen anyone hang food low in bear country. Is this a common method in Canada?

[@danielsingh9415]

Look up ursack

[@Keefe_Outdoors]

Aspen trees need fire to compete with the evergreens

[@rudibohland344]

Amazing trip there, great video. I love all your content. What kind of elevation did you do on this trip?

[@feliciamorrison7113]

💯 *promosm*

[@syindrome]

0ºF quilt in 20ºF temps sounds like EE is being a bit too generous with their ratings...

[@vinoto]

EE is overrated. Not to mention their customer service is atrocious. I bought a Cumulus quilt shipped to US -- better value, more down weight, and no duty tax. And European down standards are 50 FP more.

[@BookwormSkates]

I got an ee 20* quilt a few years back and I can't take it down to 30 without wearing a bunch of down or wool. Got a hammock gear 0* in the April sale that I'll try this winter.

[@ChrisHufnagel_Polymath]

He said "top was warm" ... so sounds like the quilt did fine and was putting the REI Helix as cause for cold sleep. 20:42

[@syindrome]

@@ChrisHufnagel_Polymath A 0ºF quilt that did "fine" in 20ºF weather sounds like the quilt is trash...

[@TheSeattleJimbo]

Too many ads 👎

[@davidshirley6850]

Just amazing video!, love seeing new gear being tested and actual feedback , the views from Canadian rockies of coarse are beautiful but to a whole heard of bison 🦬 had to be a huge thrill to see in person
