Great Divide Trail Diaries - Episode 2 - Section B

[@Suluk46]

You guys are cranking out miles! I really appreciate the small clip at the start of each day with mileage and location. Many times when I am researching a trip, I find youtube videos and while they entertaining I am left with questions like - Where did you camp? How long was each day? How did you get there?....maybe it is the super nerd inside me, but I like that info. Helps me envision the route so much more.

[@Campology]

So much appreciated…. Plus I agree with you re trip information… so I decided to make my series like a “diary” with dets!

[@rolfvdbrink]

Thanks for the great videos. Watched part A and B today. Loving it. Makes me want to go right away. I’ll re-watch this series while reading the GDT guidebook.

[@Campology]

excellent... the GDT was logistically challenging, yet the hike itself was the best I've done. Good luck

[@durstongear]

Thanks for putting this together. Great to relive the trail.

[@Campology]

... my pleasure Dan... frankly it's a "souvenir" gifted to me. If others enjoy it, then it's a bonus! :)

[@lostwithoutyou]

Loving the videos, can't wait for the rest of them. I had the pleasure of sharing a camp site with Mango and her friend on the La Cloche Silhouette Trail a couple of weeks ago. Super nice girl, I bombarded her with questions about the GDT. I am hoping to hike it next summer.

[@Campology]

Thanks so much… and Mango is one “hiking Machine”! Pound for pound, the strongest hiker I know.

Pronounced Kanah-nas-kiss…took me awhile to get the hang of it too. Looks like a great trip! Cheers

[@Campology]

Thanks so much... my anglo tongue often has trouble with the most simple words,,, and any help is appreciated!

[@durstongear]

Who else is ready for Section C?

[@Campology]

Ha ha… life has got in the way… but likely in 2 days. :)

[@kurtisf3366]

Me, my wife, and my hiking Buddy coined a phrase one year hiking the muddy, wet trails of the Tonquin. It was “embrace the suck”, referring to the sucking noise our boots were making in the mud. It’s become a bit of a mantra for our Rocky Mountain backpacking trips as it’s often futile to try to avoid all the puddles and mud and you’re more likely to hurt yourself trying to hop around between roots and rocks than to just walk through the wetness. Anyway, another great episode, looking forward to Section C!

[@Campology]

“Embrace the suck”… even becomes more relevant during section D!!!😀… thanks again

[@Patty-iw1nm]

Great video! Can't wait to watch more. Thanks

[@Campology]

@patty thanks so much!

[@eddydewilde4958]

I was disappointed to see that you need a permit and does this mean that every day has to be staged in advance? I appreciate you posting this video as I had not heard of this trail before.

[@Campology]

Pretty much. It was a logical challenge for sure. The GDTA website has some tips.

[@Kohlonthetrail]

love this series! I'm planning my own GDT thru hike and I really cant wait!!! I've ordered the Sundown pack and its nice to see it in some videos. cant wait to use it on the trail!

[@Campology]

Thanks so much… I think you will like the Sundown!

[@tinaeckerlin]

Looking like a great trip. Isn't ice cream the best treat on the trail!!!!

[@Campology]

Loved the adventure… Tiger tail ice cream is the cats meow. 🐱

[@scottb99]

Hey Dudley!!! Absolutely great job putting this all together. I just watched Section A and B and I am anxiously awaiting Section C. Seeing everyone again, including Munchie, is so great. I really hope everyone is doing well.

[@Campology]

I assume this is Scott!? The KZbin profile picture is tiny😁… thanks so much. Life got in the way of completing Sections C-E… hopefully one or two before Christmas.

[@scottb99]

@@Campology yes its Scott. I totally get it bud. Hope you are all well and having a great time.

[@Campology]

@@scottb99 all well here… I finally started section C yesterday… you are in it! Can you please DM me via IG or FBM? I have a question.😀… or via email if you prefer. [e-mail]

[@Ramasaig]

I'm enjoying your vlogs so much Dudley. The scenery is amazing. I live vicariously through you and Crusher and your adventures. Do you ever let Crusher speak? ... lol

[@Campology]

Thanks so much… Crusher is a man of thoughtful conversation… not the verbal waterfall like me. 🤣

[@garyfrey8853]

Great video series! I am interested in doing the GDT in 2023, would you be willing to share your daily hiking plan and resupply strategy that you used?

[@Campology]

Totally…. DM me an email and I send you my copy
