Hiking For 15 Hours Straight | The Enchantments, Washington

My mom joins me on an epic day hike in The Enchantments, Washington - after car camping at the (wrong) trailhead. 15 hours of hiking, 19 miles/30 km, 5000ft elevation gain, 7000 feet of descent. Will we make it in one day or will we have to do a survival camp?? Plus I share the ten essentials you should bring on every day trip.

It is nice to have a mother so physically fit,wishing you many such experiences.Awsome shots!😊

@@MadisonClysdalee I Live with my father and I text my mom fairly often. My oldest cousin, younger aunt and my grandma have talked to me more than my brother and youngest cousin who haven't talked to me since near mid October 2019.

[@edenelias2at]

I love and so appreciate how you and your mom kept calm and ‘took it lightly’ in the sense that you didn’t get super upset or angry for the two hour delay. These things do happen and it is SO important to react calmly and relaxed and even laugh about it, because that is the only way to get through it. Not all people are like that, unfortunately.. my husband would just flip and get angry and frustrated so much that I wouldn’t be able to be next to him but also wouldn’t have any other choice, so it’s really important to go with someone like your mom, who is in the same mindset as you and I love how cool she is. Make sense why she has such a cool brave daughter

[@cherrysIushie]

No offense but why are you with someone like that..

[@lettingthebearout7528]

Madison, might I suggest you put in a few Katadyn water purification tablets in your kit, just in case you water filters clogs up. Really tiny. Make sure any tablets you get kill protozoa. Great trip. A head lamp with dual power is also nice. Rechargeable and / or replacement batteries.

[@roberthansel3459]

You and your mom are pretty awesome. You’re very fortunate to be able to experience these adventures with your mom.

[@BomJai]

You give such an incredible perspective on nature and adventure! You have so much to offer your viewers who might be unable to get out to these areas

[@MadisonClysdalee]

Thank you so much. That is all I hope to offer creating these videos :)

[@BentbrooksRambles]

I have really enjoyed the process of beginning to work my way through your videos. I am off-trail myself, nursing a strained Achilles and partially torn ligaments in my foot, so living vicariously through your adventures has been delightful. I hope your channel thrives and enables you to do all you wish!

[@teetertotter5787]

Those lakes are stunning.

[@ctbsancho2516]

This might sound odd because I love music, who doesn't right, but I really appreciate that you don't in your content. It's just so much easier to watch for some reason. That talus field looked knar. Nothing beats being in the mountains. 🏔

Im from Germany and every year during summer vacation we drive 7 hours to Austria just to go hiking and it’s really beautiful my favourite is the „Weitetal“ at the „Hintertuxer Gletscher“ basically Hintertuxer Glacier it’s so beautiful maybe you’ll get a chance to hike their

very cool, just did this hike as well but had a core overnight permit for a couple nights. my buddy got injured and bailed so i ended up doing it solo and summited dragon tail. Glad you enjoyed the hike with your mom.

[@MadisonClysdalee]

That must have been amazing. Good on ya for summiting dragon tail. I wish! Maybe one day

13 hours! Lots of work out 😁 with a companion.

The colors of the videos are really nice, as is the wilderness you visit. The best outdoor youtube channels, in my opinion, have great video with really nice color to it.

[@reggiemalvas7210]

Wow its a very nice bonding with your dear mother Madison. I do really love this video, its an amazing place and a nice view. I am excited to do a hike like this.

Okay, I’m commenting before I even start watching but those stats for how far you’re about to hike are insane! My knees would be soo dead! I don’t know how y’all can do that! Let’s see

The cartilage in my knees are mad at me lol

[@RealBoiJare]

@@MadisonClysdaleeI was in Jasper a couple weeks ago and one of my day hikes gained about 750 meters up and down with 10km total distance and my knees were killing me! So I can’t even imagine that! That’s some real strength shown by you two. I’m from Sask where everything is flat

As important as a map is, it is essential you know how to use one. Sounds basic but following a map can be confusing as soon as you loose your point of reference (highway, whatever) If you are out in the woods, get lost, then pull out your map it can seem hopeless. Maybe a vid on map or orienteering basics would be a great thing! Just stumbled across this channel, enjoyed the first vid I saw so started at the beginning and now caught up and subscribed. Looking forward to more!

Your journey was fun to watch and wholesome. The cinematics are awesome!❤ I loved all of the scenes and took some screenshots of the lake for wallpaper. It was so refreshing, like a mini vacation.😊 your channel is entertaining, educational and just fun🎉 Not essential, but eventually nice to have for a large screen would be a higher resolution, but not necessarily. The North-West is soo awesome!!! Thank you!

[@johnjames7520]

Awesome video. Thanks for showing off this trail and how beautiful it is! It would be a good idea to carry water purification tablets in a small first aid kit in case your filter doesn't work. The tablets are probably about a gram or two in weight, almost nothing and can save you in a pinch like this.

[@mathijasvandehoek9395]

What a place 🤩

I love it! ❤

[@luckystrike482]

I did this Enchantments hike as a day hike last year. The Core Zone is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places I've seen in my life. 20 jaw dropping views in a row. It reminds me of The Louvre where you see countless masterpieces. I was surprised at how much the descent just wore people out. Also, how much route finding was involved. I always knew where I was at with GPS but the path is not clearly marked and the cairns can be misleading at times.

[@entropyfu]

very wholesome.

[@clara4942]

This is awesome. You've inspired me to go first-time car camping this weekend. So excited ;-)

[@bryantlavalley203]

I think based on the fact I watch a lot of camping and overlanding videos, as I do a lot of both and always watching videos to find new places to go this channel came up on the home screen. And the hike that you went on was beautiful, but I'm actually here to comment on that Monstera, the fenestration is amazing, a very well taken care of and loved plant. Great video will definitely watch more!

My favorite hiking/backpacking fishing pole is a fully collapsible pole & reel. Its about 16" long. Its easy to pack and doesn't get caught in trees and bushes as I hike.

[@vzmichael]

Spectacular adventure and ending the adventure with talking about day hike essentials was a fantastic surprise. I suggest a sit pad or other ground insulation to save body heat loss by conduction in case of stranded/sick/injured/lost hiker. I also like to have a source of warmth even in relatively mild conditions. Hand warmers and/or candle(s) for the mountains. In the Southeast where I live twigs and wood are plentiful so I like a Emberlit brand titanium Fire-ant (in addition to a candle and hand warmer) as a spot for small but powerful fire . Poncho in combo with the candle can create a potentially life saving micro-climate. Again, spectacular video!
