I just can not stop watching your dog, hope he is being fed good.

[@finnblu3002]

. . GREAT content incredible scenery fantastic pup! informative always great to see linked couples out in back country and not that common in YT land where many channels trip and fall into the solo, self-involved, non-stop chatter and dj influenced 15 minutes nice vibe, with just enough narrative , but not so much that overshadows the epic views and silent beauty Thanks for the time and effort to share Sure miss my dog~ . .

[@djfoccus]

So peaceful. You guys capture the essence of back-country trekking so perfectly in all of your videos. I'm just a beginner at taking it outdoors. You guys make every novice strive to achieve the skills and experience to be able to hike challenging trails like that. I work climbing skyscrapers around NYC and am blessed to hike around the parks in the surrounding counties. The grass is pretty green on this side, but it grows much greener outside the chaos of the city!

[@ronaldrose7593]

Thank you my friend for your beautifully filmed awesome videos. Take care out there and be safe. 🤗

[@SebastianVigl]

[@debham641]

[@timkupari9959]

Beautiful video thanks for sharing, always a pleasure to watch, merry Christmas and be safe out there on the trail 👍🏻

[@snowangelkivilcim]

Great videos! Find your videos while trying to get some ideas to go Hiking & camping trip. I am thinking Palo Duro Canyon, TX 🗻 Tomorrow.

[@PumpkinVillage]

What a beautiful hike. Like the format of your videos. You travel in good company I see. That makes a trip just that much more enjoyable. Have a great holiday, Take care, Al

[@wgsmcw2012]

That is a amazing dog you got there! Always looks like he is contemplating, or thinking deep thoughts:) Looking off into the distance somewhere :)

[@jorvikoutdoors]

Excellent vid, keep them coming

[@knollelw]

Awesome as always dude! Keep living the dream

[@stargazerm42]

Thank you for doing this video. Makes me wont to get out and hike.

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

+Tom Garrett That's why we do....thanks for letting us know, mission accomplished.

[@asdfghjklyzxcvbnm]

well done! very nice video and great tips. Thanks Brother!

[@yanlap2183]

Thank's, it's beautiful.

[@peacedude1176]

Awesome!

[@OutdoorsInspired]

Awesome video! This is one of my favorite channels on KZbin. I'm looking forward to the Dumoine video..

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

Thanks for watching, I'm looking to make some more foraging videos soon as well.

[@shobyvinci]

Great video! i love your doggy :D

[@HikinginColorado]

Such a cool video!!

[@backdraftvideos1180]

I love this guy lol. He's so chill

[@billmunny1641]

tnx for great video 😀

[@gorgocat7668]

Increible video👍ya tengo Mono de travesia. Feliz Navidad desde España. Eugen.

[@davehansen3959]

I've been using the bear vault for years - it IS heavy but as the food goes down I can put other things (e.g. stove, fuel) in the vault so it's always full. And it is handy as a camp seat (if your balance is good).

[@yoobro5897]

hey not sure if you know that coconut oil is great for joint pain and using it daily over time solves this issue = more hiking and enjoyable hiking! I put it in tea because coffee is very acidic and bad for joints and bones but i just hate seeing people with joint pain that drink coffee. Love the channel stay blessed!

[@jameson5717]

Nice video dude! I'll have to add this trail to my to do list. Just got back from doing the Broken Top Loop in Oregon. You should check that one out some time! Cheers!

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

+Faulkner Jameson Thanks for the recommendation, I am currently traveling America and I plan to make it up to Oregon this spring. Stay tuned for a video on the Broken Top Loop hopefully.

[@jameson5717]

+GuideYouOutdoors I will certainly do that! Make sure to hit the glacial lake near the summit! If you follow an unmarked footpath once you reach it, you can see every major peak in Oregon.. as long as it's a clear day of course. Where are you currently passing through?

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

+Jameson We are in northern New Mexico, I'm currently editing a hike into a few caynons around Sedona Arizona.

[@joshb0508]

well used John Butler Trio

[@gamedoutgamer]

Yes one bear canister isn't enough for everything. Carrying two bear canisters is heavy but doable for longer trips.

[@kylebartruff2876]

I love the John Butler back track

[@loliyoabundiz]

i'd like to do that but most def, do it slooow. supervideo ya'll. :)

[@coltonprout8115]

such a cool dog

[@drewbear69]

another awesome video. I love living vicariously through your videos while I wait for decent weather. what kind of saddle bags does Summit wear?

[@LETSgoBRANDON08.]

Cool dog I like the video to

[@MarkBrown-ks2lg]

Great Video, what type of dog do you have ?

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

+Mark Brown Belgian Malinios

[@kerrypurcell6022]

colorado , has a lot of nice country,,,,,what breed of dog do you have ?

[@anthonygonzales851]

How do you connect your camera bag to your backpack?? Also great video

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

I just run it through the chest strap. Check out my video on backpacking basics for more details.

[@kilianhzh]

I would like do do a mountainbiking trip there :)

[@NurseMurse]

Can you please tell me what you use for audio? It's so clear and want to get something like that to backpack with too.

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

+NurseMurse Sure I film with a JVC PX-100 that has 2 microphones on it. It saves me having to bring an external microphone. If you don't want to buy a new camera, check out the zoom h1 mic and buy the clip on mic for it.

[@explore2265]

What breed is that ? Its really nice 👍🏻

[@explore2265]

(the dog)

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

+sammy romero some type of Belgian Malinois mix

[@KLB5420]

At 8:41 you comment that “other hikers are destroying the trail by doing it in two days”. Curious of your rationale to that.

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

Context...some are destroying the trail while others are getting destroyed by it....aka some are doing it fast some are not in shape for it and turning around.

[@KLB5420]

GuideYouOutdoors - I understand the “being destroyed by it” but all users “destroy” the trail by use of it then. Maybe those who spend longer on the trail destroy it more as they impact that ecosystem longer than those who do not spend as much time on the trail? Just found it interesting that you made it sound like faster hikers destroy the trail while folks who go slower don’t. Probably not what you meant though. I hoping to do this hike next June. Beautiful area, nice video.

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

I guess I'm not being clear, when I said "destroying the trail" I meant they were doing it fast in 2 days. Destroying = slang for doing it well

[@KLB5420]

GuideYouOutdoors ...lol, got it. Guess the use of that word and trail together didn’t make sense to me. Curious if your leash is just a rope or a leash you purchased. Thanks.

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

yes it is a retired climbing rope

[@brycemcnitt]

What time of year did you hike this? Early October?

[@psnarksnarski9777]

What do you use for personal protection

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

A good attitude, smile and great intuition.

[@timgift4238]

Did you need backcountry permits?

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

Yes you can get them in the parking lot, free.

[@Bud4me0007]

Were did you get that dog pack from?

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

+Bud4me0007 I think I got that reflective one at petsmart but we are fans of granite gear: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5mUknWsiNV6hZo

[@Dagger-Moose]

Is the govt really this intrusive in hiking and camping now? Good grief, I grew up in Douglas, Wyoming 30 years ago and we would drive up into the Esterbrook, Labonte canyon area or where ever we wanted really. Park the truck, lock it, hide the keys and hike and camp for days in meadows and mountain streams. If they are this regulatory now, I dont think I would enjoy the experience at all. Love the scenery though, nice video.

[@GuideYouOutdoors]

+M Dutchy For sure, lots of red tape in high traffic places. They wouldn't even let us in saying there was no parking but we misunderstood the guy and drove on in anyways....and found plenty of parking. Yet over in the Gore Range we found the type of open wilderness experience you are talking about.

[@fitofito1001]

A bit too much talk otherwise a great video

[@barbechivo]

nice video but i prefer no music.
