Backpacking Patagonia - El Chalten 1.1 - Camp Poincenot

[@SteelKatanas]

So jealous right now, Fitz Roy is the most beautiful mountain in the world imo. I'm planning on going next year. Great vid guys :)

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Thank you, Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre are some of the most amazing mountains in the world for sure!

[@naturecallsoutdoors]

Beautiful. Would love to hike there some day.

[@OutsideAndStuff]

+Nature Calls Hardest part is getting down there. But once you are down there, you won't want to leave. :)

[@caipi95]

Hi Nick & Jen!! Loved your videos of your stay in our beloved Patagonia. I was wondering If you could help me with the backpack. I see you used an Osprey. Which model is/was it?

[@claudiadiniz8522]

when did you go? I'm planning to backpacking with friends and we don't know when is the perfect time.

[@3xcx3]

Hi guys! Greeting from Siberia. Good channel! If you please we need a subtitles in eng for this vid (at least a main legs). It will be great for some unenglish countries! Regards!

[@internationalnews889]

Hey NIck and Jen. You made the best videos for this hikes in El Chalten. I am going in late October and I was planning to camp in Poincenot and Dagostini. Do you think a 0F sleeping bag is okay?

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Hi Pablo. Since October is their Spring time. I would think that should be ok. If I was going in October I would probably bring my Marmot Lithium (0F) bag with my Thermarest NeoAir Xtherm pad.

[@internationalnews889]

Hi.Yes I would also bring a Klymit insulated pad. Thanks a lot!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

You're very welcome. Have a great time!

[@esportesoutdoor4293]

Hello, Nick. I found your El Chalten videos very interesting. I intend to go there soon, did they record the points for the GPS? If so, could you make it available? Thank you!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Unfortunately I did not log the GPS tracks on this. But the trails are extremely well traveled and there is a ton of signage.

[@murilocerci2418]

Hello, Id Like to know if you post the pictures of the trekking somewhere ? Great Video !! Ill do this hikking Feb/ 2017, hope the weather be like those days.

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Thank you! I am now posting photos to my Instagram: instagram.com/nickbotner/ I used to post photos to my blog: www.nickbotner.com/blog/

[@CyclistRick]

Hi Nick and Jen, Watching this is like re-visiting old friends. What time of year were you there? The videos were posted in March/April 2016, but we were there in mid to late March and all the trees were starting to get their fall colors so I have to guess you were there a few weeks earlier, say late Jan or Feb.

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Hi Rick, we were in El Chalten till about March 12th before flying down to Ushuaia for a couple days before heading back to the PNW.

[@CyclistRick]

Thanks Nick. Amazing that just a few days can have such a marked affect in the foliage.

[@OutsideAndStuff]

You are welcome! I think we were starting to see signs right before we left. Reminded us of the foliage changes we get in the PNW.

[@BruFX7]

geat video! im from argentina and i cant belive all the naturals marvels thar we have. how do you attach your dslr to the backpack? i need something similar and i cant know how it's called what you have. Thank you!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

It's the Peak Design Capture Pro. Best thing ever made for lugging around a DSLR in the mountains. www.peakdesign.com/product/clips/capturepro/

[@NoTrail]

Lovely...I miss the rock jumble. Did you guys camp the entire trip?

[@OutsideAndStuff]

+Patrick Caple (No Trail Required) We only camped for the 5 days when we were backpacking. The rest of the trip was spent at various hostels and airbnbs.

[@NoTrail]

Ah yes...but no beer down there?

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Patrick Caple Sober for five days, very difficult. But you can be damn sure Jen and I now know the best places to get beer in El Chalten. :)

[@macarioleyva7832]

+Outside & Stuff you can drink the water?

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Macario Leyva Yes! There are no beavers in this part of Argentina, so there the water is pure.

[@aleshacottle5044]

Hey Nick Im going trekking El Chalten next weekend for 4 days. I would love to know about your cooking situation, can you make fires at the free campsites or did you bring a supply of your own little gas cooker?? Awesome videos they really helped me a lot :)

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Hi Alesha, campfires are banned inside the park due to the extreme wind and dry conditions. The good news is, is that you can easily find the stove fuel in one of the many outdoor shops in El Chalten. Also, if you are staying in a hostel, they typically have leftover fuel cans that backpackers donate when they leave. Hope that helps!

[@aleshacottle5044]

Awesome thank you so much

[@flaviolanfranco8545]

Hi Nick, thanks for this amazing video, in a few days i go there!! I would like to consult you about the gopro accessories you have (stick, protector..) ??? Thanks!!! Greetings from Rosario, Argentina!

[@OutsideAndStuff]

These were all shot with a GoPro Hero 4 Black. And I only used the skeleton back. The stick I am using is a Smatree telescoping selfi stick with a tripod base. www.amazon.com/Smatree-SmaPole-Q3-Telescoping-Session/dp/B00XN1P9QI/

[@iurifranco]

Hello, I'd like to know when it was recorded this video? Please.

[@OutsideAndStuff]

This Year, early March!

[@iurifranco]

I saw you on the main avenue and at Destiny Sur (Supermarket). See ya around the world, friend ! thanks for share it !

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Iuri Franco Haha! That's amazing. We spent a lot of time walking back and forth in El Chalten. And drinking at La Cerveceria.

[@jakerichards6722]

I would like to know if I have to book camp poicenot or if you can just camp for free?

[@OutsideAndStuff]

All of the campsites in the park are free of charge. There's a lot of room at Poincenot, and there is even some overflow camping down the bank, closer to the river.

[@johnklug6669]

you pay for that camp spot or is this area pretty cool with backpackers just bushing it?

[@OutsideAndStuff]

All of the camp sites in the national park are free. The only time you spend money is to enter the park. With the exception being El Chalten. This city is in the park so there is no fee to enter. It's quite the hippy experience. :)

[@armandobarreda74]

HELLO, HOW IS IT CALLED THE LAKE FROM WHICH YOU TAKEN WATER WITH A YELLOW BOTTLE? BECAUSE THAT FITZ ROY'S VIEW IS SPECTACULAR !!!

[@luis___h9000]

14:19 Estuve ahí, no es un lago, es el Rio de la Cascada, va hacia la Cascada El Chorrillo del Salto.

[@MrSupersuperbeto]

Hi guys, great videos! When did you go to this camp?

[@OutsideAndStuff]

March 6th 2016

[@MrSupersuperbeto]

nice! I will go on march 2017.. could you give some advices about the clothes that i need for the trip?

[@OutsideAndStuff]

Your biggest worry should be waterproofing. The weather in Patagonia can change in an instant, even if there is no forecast for rain, it can happen. My advice would be to bring layers, it will be cold at night, and could be hot in the day. But definitely bring a rain shell, and a waterproof bag for the inside of your pack. The outside rain shell will not stop the Patagonian rain. :)

[@axelpaff3306]

Nice video

[@harbinguy1]

Hi man, enjoy watching your video. Did you let the girl carry the heavy load? That's not cool!
