Bighorn Mountains - Cloud Peak Gear List

I pack for a trip out west in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming. On this trip, I will be sleeping in a tent. The temperatures will be warm and much of my time will be spent above tree line. I will be in Cloud Peak Wilderness which has areas where packing out human waste is required. On this 4 day trip, there will be no resupplies and I will be traveling a little lighter with my frameless backpack.

So what you're saying is you are packing the Doritos in AND packing them out? The things we do to protect the outdoor places we love... 😅

[@gabriele1975]

😂😂😂

[@stevebednarchik9390]

Nice setup. Have fun

[@ecttreker9816]

Awesome t-shirt. 👍👍

[@jasonleavitt7193]

Love your videos. Wish waymark was still making gear.

[@JamieKrause86]

Definitely love the shirt! Sounds like an awesome trip. My luck I would have to go within them 4 miles hahaha

[@happytrailbackpacking]

I have been wanting to do this loop for a couple years. I have been out in the area and it is amazing. I'm excited for your videos!

[@timgraves1260]

I highly recommend the Busy Bee Cafe in Buffalo for your after hike handmade victory bacon cheese burger, onion rings, and a shake. So good.

[@kmcgoeshiking27]

You will love the Big Horns , they are really beautiful!! Enjoy your adventure!!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

I'm excited to see your video. We plan to do the Big Horns in September if you want to come back out bud!

[@richardsigman3776]

Excitedly looking forward to your trip!

[@jonathanhoover5607]

Bought that noxgear speaker from watching u. Used it on taum Sauk last weekend on the Ozark trail: poured rain like hell just turned it up. It got soaked worked like a charm hahah

[@Droptineful]

Love that T-shirt!🤣 Good luck on your hike!

[@christopherlaingen4701]

Enjoy your hike! I've done the Solitude loop twice--in both directions. It's very beautiful and full of solitude.

[@anthonyjohnson5372]

Going to the Big Horns in a month and having the same wag bag dillema. I never get the sudden "I need to poop and it needs to happen NOW" while hiking, so I'm also feeling fine about waiting to get out of the high-use areas.

[@tomfranta5495]

I got converted to full time wag bag......😊

[@jonathanhoover5607]

Just curious ever tried the injinji socks instead of the liners. Wonder how those are. The barefoot style ones

[@carlip]

If you find yourself around 44.353573765243105, -107.26825887089882, try to find my bear mace. I lost it around there somewhere 2 weeks ago.

[@MidwestBackpacker]

@@carlip I am back and didn’t see it. Sorry.

[@garagebrewer]

I'm curious how much of that battery you use, charging your electronics. I'm thinking about a 5-day trip and wondering if 30,000 mah is enough.

[@MidwestBackpacker]

@@garagebrewer I Would say that is enough.

[@jonathanhoover5607]

How quick do your trail runners dry out why you get them soaked

[@MidwestBackpacker]

@@jonathanhoover5607 depends on the terrain. Probably 400-500 miles. Taking them off takes too much time. They dry quickly.

[@brianadventures9622]

Talk about 5 lbs of $!@/ in a 3 lb bag! Am I right?

[@edj9978]

Do you worry at all about the beef sticks going bad without refrigeration for 4 days?

[@MidwestBackpacker]

@@edj9978 they are fine without refrigeration until the package is unsealed. You probably have 5-9 days after that, depending on conditions.

[@edj9978]

@@MidwestBackpacker I carry the smaller packages so that I can finish the open ones the same day I open them. But that is expensive good to hear that you are getting 5 days plus. I will try it. thanks.
