I’m hiking the Grand Canyon again

[@davidshirley6850]

Crazy idea switch roles have Emmett do a solo backpacking trip and dan can edit it

[@Snacksandbackpacks]

Omg this would be so good!!

[@SophisticatedDogCat]

That would be hilarious.

[@Robin-kf1yz]

This was a great discussion. I do enjoy seeing Emmett. Emmett, you have a good screen presence and your voice is pleasant to the ear. What I really appreciate, Dan, is that you profile your film maker. I think that is unique in U Tube. You know these channels that have such excellent filmmaking and you know they’re not actually doing the filming but they don’t give credit to who is behind the cameras. So kudos for putting Emmett out front and center. You make a good team.

[@karen.in.japan2018]

Well, Dan, you turned Emmett into a real backpacker! When he was little, the huz and I (that is, Emmett’s parents) tried to get Emmett to go hiking and backpacking with us but he balked, saying “there’s no wifi in the woods” and “why would I want to just walk all day?!” We’re glad you, Dan, could pull off what we couldn’t. The fishing thing, though…Emmett’s comment about “that’s on my parents” is totally on the mark. I stopped trying to fish after I was a little kid and out with my dad. I thought I’d caught a whopper and was excitedly reeling in my huge prize, only to find it was a discarded and full-of-water snowmobile boot. Anyway, engaging and fun video/discussion, both of you!

[@DanBecker]

He’s a great kid!

[@grimgranite]

Love you both. Awesome to see you crushing it with your art-form, Emmett! I feel like I should get a recruiting fee for introducing you to Emmett… hmmm 😂

[@marandamontilla7707]

Dan, prayers for a safe trip and sense of calm as you conquer this trek again! LOVE when Emmett has a cameo and I enjoyed this video podcast very much!

[@reneeavery2193]

Dan! Way to go! Coincidentally, I have my own Grand Canyon story. I rafted the canyon in 2020. We had a freak accident and my right lower leg was crushed between a boulder and a large commercial raft. I had to be med-evac'd out of the canyon. 15 screws, 2 steel plates, and 5 months of rehab later, I returned to the Canyon almost a year to the day and did the whole trip over again. I had a great time AND slayed my 'fear dragons' as well. Thanks be to God for the courage it took to do that again. And yes, my family tried to talk me out of it. So I completely relate to the significance of you going back. Can't wait to hear about your experience when you return. God will use it for your good. ❤ PS - you are a badass! 😁

[@willdhurst]

Definitely dig this style! Lord, be with them in the canyon, again!

[@NVIK5]

I want more of these kind of episodes!

[@danhutchinson4346]

Good stuff here! Emmett is great. Cool to hear his story

[@strangerous1313]

Fun video. And thanks for the update on the water filter drive. I would like to see a vi with Emmett talking about the backpacking gear he has gravitated to since joining DB.

[@DavidJohnson-ol1cv]

Good job to the guy who made the logo sign. That was sweet looking. Good luck back at the Grand Canyon. Can't wait to see the video of you conquering it

[@michelleoglesbee-flores2518]

Enjoyed the discussion. Was not expecting to see the tag line. Glad you went back. Hoping you didn’t get too much rain or snow. I know the forecast is for snow from Flag, west and north. Looking forward to hear how it went. Thinking of you all from Oregon.

[@77loquito77]

More! Love the behind the scenes info on the trips.

[@Kickrocksproductions]

What a perfect pairing for this podcast. I loved listening while i worked.

[@stephensircy4136]

Good luck DB! Happy for you getting back on that horse. can't wait to hear about it.

[@davidrosenberg5453]

Like the podcast. Nice to hear both of your point of views.

[@Harry-Giles]

So glad you are going back to the Grand Canyon. Your plan is very reasonable. Appreciate Emmett. What a great asset to the channel.

[@RobertHoff-bg3yg]

Emmett is the man! Def upgraded the channel! Keep up the good work!

[@adamclark1843]

This was a great podcast. Emmett really has a great screen presence and brings a whole new great personality into the picture. Good luck on Grand Canyon 2.0!! Love everything you guys do. Keep up the great work

[@stever6986]

YES, you should do semi-regular podcasts AND...it must be called "Just Two Guys from Wisconsin"

[@dannystephenshiking951]

Really enjoyed getting to know Emmett a little better. You make a great team! Keep it up. 🦉

[@royferrissugarbear5306]

Good luck Dan. Have fun.

[@GrannygearKiller]

Really love these sit down talks. Really great info and great discussion. Thanks guys

[@jamesbenners9114]

Emmett is the Wizard behind the curtain for the Dan Becker Outdoor channel. Really enjoyed the interview! Hope to hear more of his behind the scenes incites in future videos. Love the channel Dan! Glad you’re going back to the Grand Canyon. Stay safe buddy!

Good luck and have fun!

[@christianbuck4179]

Loved this format for videos. Was great to just hear stories

[@TheNypenfan]

I enjoy these from time to time. And it helps that one of you has “a face for video”. You guys can debate which one. lol but seriously, I like these thrown in every once in a while. It really shows your passion for what you’re doing.

[@mikehenthorn1]

Love this type podcast. Enjoy meeting Emmett.

[@scottmay8986]

Great video! I enjoyed hearing the story behind the story. Great format and enjoy seeing/hearing Emmet as well. You're both very entertaining. Keep it up!

[@micahroddy9731]

Great discussion! Can’t wait to see more!

[@col_913]

Super respect to you for shouting out your former editors channel! That’s awesome.

[@Kelhund]

Excellent! Glad to hear it! Keep getting after it!

[@nicolenicholls7337]

Love seeing Emmett on the screen! Take care and can’t wait to see your adventures, I’ve been very ill for the past year with 2x auto immune diseases hoping to get back to backpacking this year. Well done Dan you are an inspiration. ❤

[@TheAngieStoned]

I really hope that you appreciate Emmett the way he deserves ❤

[@ttjustdgaf]

Be safe Dan! Looking forward to seeing your return to the Grand Canyon.

[@dennis2376]

Cool format, the various back stories were awesome. Thank you.

[@owenjahn]

Love this format. Look forward to the update from the grand canyon, enjoy!

[@carlosnyc13hiker]

That’s a nice new logo. Great job Terry! 👍🏽

[@pauletue4913]

Great stuff guys! Love hearing Emmett’s stories.

[@karencaskey6210]

My husband and I were looking to replace our old MSR Sweetwater filter that we had for many years. It filtered a lot of water for our family of 5 over the years! Your videos (and Miranda's video) about the great work that Sawyer is doing was the deciding factor for us and we can't wait to use our new Sawyer Squeeze this summer on our various Sierra adventures. Thank you for highlighting the work that they do and thank you to you, and Emmit, for bringing us all great backpacking content. Good luck with your Grand Canyon trip. I think a much less aggressive itinerary will help you heal a bit from your last trip and help you make peace with such a beautiful place. Happy Trails!

[@karencaskey6210]

Oh, and Emmit....my husband and I don't like coffee either 😂

[@AmyAndKensBigAdventures]

Oh hell yeah!! Emmett! You are the bomb! Keep doing what you are doing! I’m a mom and I could see you feeling all the feels… 🫶🏼

[@jeffreyrule8143]

Great podcast and thanks for your travel updates and stories.

[@eric_hanson]

I didn't realize you spend so much time talking about me! Haha. This was truly enjoyable! But now I'm in suspense, did you make it out of the Grand Canyon?!

[@stephanielasnoski606]

This format is awesome! I would like to see more. You are cool guys. I'm also a Wisconsinite.

[@thewaterwarrior9817]

Enjoyed the podcast format and hearing from Emmitt

[@roselee_explores]

Cool video! Hope you guys stay safe in the Grand Canyon and have fun!

[@natew3802]

Hoping for a safe trip back at the canyon. Really like the discussion / podcast idea. A good mix of this and trips would be awesome!

[@jenniferzitting1886]

When I lived in Hurricane UT my friends and I used to go canyoneering all over and we would stand there shivering and wet waiting our turn to rappel and say “it’s kind of like fun, only different”

[@inhiscare1]

Good job! I'm a total newbie here, seen a handful of your Grizz attack vids. A brother in law was attacked by a black bear when he and his buddy was 16 years old. A horrific story, Rick's body was 2/3 covered in claw and bite mark, massive scars, his buddy had one of his back calf's torn off, I believe, leaving him with skin in front and bone, each played dead while the other was being mauled, bear left them for dead. They called out to each other assuring both were concious and alive, finally got up and took off. Then ran a long ways for help..If I recall they scaled a fence at one point. My sister shared the story many yrs ago. This was, I believe in the Bitterroot Mountains, in Montana, where we all grew up. The bear actually drug them out of there tent. Yes, Dan, the Lord does intervene, doesn't He! Even when people are clueless that He did! Stay safe, Joanne

[@JarradShaw]

❤ love listening to both of you. This was amazingly great. Cheers!

[@annak3688]

Said a prayer for you AND your family. I’m sure you are good. Can’t wait to hear your stories. I hope it’s more boring, less intense and a bunch more fun than that “other one.” 🙏❤🙏

[@CindyClough]

Great video, as usual! Praying right now for a grand trip to the Canyon! May the Lord bles you and heal your anxiety!

[@SamClarkPhotographerAdventurer]

Awesome video! I know you will do great on this upcoming adventure!

[@TheNoobHiker]

Really enjoy the content with Emmett!!!!

[@stattravels8109]

We loved seeing and hearing about Emmett’s perspective on Grand Canyon the 1st trip. We would love to see Eric’s camera man’s perspective too.

[@chris0895ozone]

Have a great trip!

[@PierreFarrugia]

10/10 podcast 👍 Dan coming back with a Boooomm 💣 Good Luck ❤

[@jeansayers8659]

Dan, kudos for going back. You’ve become a favorite! Old lady canyon story..my mom was friends with some of the rangers stationed there back in 1960’s. She was huge ..almost 250#’s.. I was 10 years old. These guys were looking at reopening Hermit s Rest trail..it had been close for years… there was a super extensive trail system in the canyon in the 1920’s. Seven rangers, mom and me… all the way down, back out .. three of the guys stayed behind to be sure she got out, lol! They were terrified they’d have to pack her out😂.. Really enjoyed hearing Emmett’s. spin.. On anxiety…it’s so real…PTSD is not for wimps. We’re doing the Ozark Trail Sobo , the 15th…at 72 I’m wondering what the blip I’m doing 😂😂😂 But seriously, we are following and thinking of you.waiting for updates. ❤❤

[@thisbeem2714]

I liked this format.

[@TerHam9]

As the adage goes, “if you fall off a horse, you get back on.” Praying that you all have an awesome time and come home safely.

[@ericchristie8059]

This was a great video, Emmett needs to be in all of the future videos!

[@zafergokselkaraaslan2055]

Best of luck! Stay safe down there GC

I bought a Paria because of your video! Great company

Love the podcast format!

[@hhamilton1970]

Good stuff!!!

[@debraervin5773]

Love the podcast style!

[@PeterFLB]

As I watched this video in Phoenix, I thinking of the rain that's making it's way in from California. Hoping that the trip went well, and the rain didn't cause your group too many hassles. Good to hear Darwin went with, he'll look after you.. Waiting to hear about this trip.

[@michelstronguin6974]

Darwin is with you, so zero chance that any of you get into trouble and Nick doesn’t know what to do in about 2 seconds lol, so I’m super not worried about anyone on this trip. So just have an epic time down there!

[@BrianThibodeaux]

I like this format

[@Kenbur]

Dan and Emmit, I so envy you. In 2016 my son and I went to Nairobi to a mission to see how we could partner with them. My son is now in the process of building a school on the edge of the largest slum for the children of the slums - yes I am very proud of him. - But I was in the wildlife sanctuary that you were talking about. We did not camp overnight there as we could not make those arrangements at that time but we took a private guide in an open Volkswagon Bus through the back roads of the reserve and saw incredible wildlife and fauna - halfway through we stumbled upon a male lion with two females right by the side of the "path" we were driving on. The guide stopped the vehicle less than 8 feet away from the lion(we were literally talking about how my son could probably reach over and touch the lion from the open-top van we were in). My son stood up to take pictures and was leaning out over the top of the VW bus trying to get the "best" shot and the guide was joking about how the lion would find him a tasty meal, when the male lion who had been sleeping, rolled on his stomach, looked up at us, roared, as only a lion can roar and made a fake lunge towards us, all in a split second. My son threw himself backward and rocked the whole van, screaming at the top of his lungs. How do I know all this took place? Well, I was holding my camera on my son with the lion in the background filming him filming the lion. The guide and I were laughing so hard at my son's reflex reaction that I couldn't hold very steady for the shot - my son got mostly lion face charging, and I got mostly the top part of my son throwing himself backward to escape, with the van obviously rocking to his movements, the guide got a great story and a huge laugh at the Americans. It is my favorite short video of our trip and my son was glad as he laughed at himself that he hadn't soiled his pants as both he and I discussed "what just happened" after it took place. I wish/pray for all the best on your return trip/mission. My son has been back several times since then but I have not been able to go and probably will not be able to in the future. So all that to say I envy the "adventure" you will have even if a "lion" is not involved.

[@colesky33]

DAN THE MAN RETURNS TO CLAIM HIS CROWN BACK 👑

[@Luckyhikes]

You are an anchor of the community, Dan. Cheers and good health. 🎉

[@jeppej4265]

One pole user here as well. I can recommend trying L style/T style handle. For me that works best but there isn't that many long ones on the market so that's a downside.

[@dorindaalberthal1316]

Hi Dan, enjoyed the video and I’m glad to hear your feeling well. I’m looking forward to watching your Hermits rest backpacking video. I’ve solo hiked the R2R in a day and wondered what your thoughts are on the Hermits rest hike and the difficulty of it? Stay well and be blessed

[@HikingAZ]

Dude I totally would have gone with ! I was going to backpack the canyon this month anyways. I'm backpacking Aravaipa Canyon now at the end of the month.

[@margueritemitchell1829]

Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦

[@PierreFarrugia]

I forgot Hemmet you rock 👍

[@kevinharper4299]

FYI….. Hermit Trail is NOT easier than Bright Angel or South Kaibab to the river. It’s beautiful, though! Enjoy your trip. Wish I was going!

[@kevinharper4299]

Also, don’t underestimate the most weather extremes in a very small area. Even on the south rim to the river.

[@GarryCollins-ec8yo]

More please.

[@Synistercrayon]

I can believe it

[@pgtiyamu]

You two are brothers now..experiences like that never leave you.

[@UncleGeorgeTV]

Very cool studio

Looking like a scamer replied

[@UncleGeorgeTV]

Enjoyable video The studio looks cool Do some more like theseMaybe set up a second channelFor studio videos

[@2SmokeTony611]

More podcasts!

[@indtexcol]

Hearing the filmmaker’s view of a trip is a whole other story. Interesting.

[@adria419]

Hi Emmett!! ❤

[@marcelinasladewska1287]

Dan I have a video --- i love gear review and seeing you attempt cool trails but I would love if you could show the process of getting permits to cool national parks. explaining the lottery system, planning out the trip step by step, . what to expect if there is an animal etc. etc. i hope this makes sense. A video especially if someone would be interested in doing a solo trip or two inexperienced hikers. best places to consider for beginners which trails and so forth. :)

[@jacobfelix-y3d]

It's crazy that he's going back to the grand canyon after what happened last year.

[@beverlypeacock8201]

I liked this video. How many people googled Central Works Brewing Company?

[@wntfan656]

Central Waters. One of the best brewries in Wisconsin!

[@galinswigart]

Dan... You have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever on this trip.

[@kimberlypenney7216]

I think you all had guardian Angles putting a hedge around you to protect you.

[@dracphelan]

Going back to the Grand Canyon? Are you hoping to get a court date too?
