I Got Lost Climbing a Mountain! And Built Some Railings

[@torbjornahman]

Epic hike! 24km is just nuts in one day... And I have to agree on that yellow cedar, it is a beauty!

[@cvzphotography]

Here in Utah many alpine lakes are stocked via airplane drops. Pretty cool videos out there demonstrating it. I've also heard that some fish eggs can be transported via water bird's feces.

[@ryanstewart6121]

I live in Utah too. The Uinta mountains and lakes are the best

[@nickpatterson2149]

What CVZphotography said. Air drop from plane if I had to guess.

[@shaneroper5470]

Awesome personal achievement there conquering the existential self and letting the Self be itself. Great video! And those views.... wow! Breathtaking!

[@AlaskaWild]

Only the Samurai Carpenter would be able to make such a hike in shorts and no shirt! The naked scream had us cracking up! Well done!

[@TheTubeTube2]

Thank you for making that climb up Mt Horsefly for us, you are not just talented but a gentleman too. Your keys are in the digger ignition switch.

[@dsop66]

We were just on Vancouver Island and it was incredible. It will be my home someday and I hope to visit the property to salute one of the most talented carpenters ever.

[@JeffK1962]

I would suggest making a key ring hook. And then put all of them there. Quads, Hitachi, boats, whatever you have a key for. Great looking stairs. I guess my thought was this. About your railings. Does the beauty of the wood out-weight who will need them. (Their safety)

[@HaydenGatesOR]

I was one of the backseat drivers I'm last video. Your solution was much more elegant than I could have ever designed. And those railings are a work of art!

[@bobbymorris525]

Last time I hiked to Mt. Klitsa, it was pretty hard to find. Good thing my wife had the map. 😉

[@jordanlucas3513]

Wow. First of all thank you. I've lived o west coast of the island and I've always wondered what it was like in those mountains. Thank you. Since I was a kid I've wondered about those mountains. Just amazing. Great job bud

[@bradley4294]

No " foresty forest" but love that you did that, it's your dedication to your new life style and to free your self from the norm 😊

[@BigBoyLies]

17:55 oh man... those are some beautiful landscape!

[@gary_neilson1896]

Great video. You are pretty brave drinking the water without filtering it.

[@jeremiahhurnblad1972]

I so enjoy your personality and all the fun things you say and comments on things, I’ve thought to myself over a few years of watching your videos that you and I have a similar sense of humor ( good,bad 🤗) but when you got to the top of the mountain and stood there naked . I knew we were brothers. I’ve done same exact thing. You must have an incredible wife and family .

[@vell0cet517]

That lake is breathtaking.

[@babthooka]

Birds, typically ducks in my area, swim in the lakes, and fish eggs, which are "designed" to be sticky, adhere to their legs and feathers. Then the birds fly over to other lakes and hang out there, thereby spreading fish eggs all over.

[@nakulah]

very cool!

[@christophermcdonough1353]

So funny, Jess!! Love that you shared the journey , we'll worth the trip to the summit!!!!

[@AdamEarl2]

@3:10 what i love is that a place like this is always just existing.. you could be there enjoying the view, or back home at your desk doing some work.. but that waterfall is just falling

[@TheSamuraiCarpenter]

Pretty wild to think that there is probably still beauty that no eye has ever beheld someplace on this earth.

[@carlitobriganti9718]

Fish eggs carried from birds how fish get to those extreme places! I used to always think the same as you! When the old guy used to tell me there will be fish in crazy lakes/ponds connected to no streams of water!

[@KarlBunker]

What a gorgeous climb that was. Thanks for sharing, and congrats on making the summit!

[@dcpete3054]

Awesome hike, probably a 2 day trip next time, and bring a fly rod.👍👍😎

[@Wademorgan1024]

The trout swim up, no joke. Little buggers make it up and take up residence in the lake to grow and be able to breed.

[@rb9580]

Just this! Go to any remote spot on the planet and no matter how high you go, the fish have got there before you! Also we think of trout in terms of the guys that are big enough to eat, but for every one that gets to that size there are hundreds of minnow-sized ones living out their existence, with their size limited by water temperature and food availability. I once came across one of these wee guys swimming uphill up a bog where the water was only up to his lateral line. Their will to travel upstream is huge!

[@ChadBaron]

Talk to your dealer. Keys for equipment aren't like cars, they are usually all the same so they should be able to give you another set.

[@jg997]

Prayers sent! Good luck!

[@Move-Monrovia]

The stair case looks great!

[@1971jwing]

Great job with your mindset and accomplishment for the summit. Sharing the moments of truth are key to passing your knowledge and we viewers appreciate your efforts. Great health to you and yours. PS the keys are exactly where you left them lol...I know not funny hahaha...

[@buildingbrenham]

Eagle gets a trout from a lower source. Eagle flies with the trout back to it's nest higher up the mountain. Trout is laden with eggs. Eggs fall in the water along the way.

[@gary9642]

The province dumps them in the lake. It's a stocking program. Done all over the province. Some are duped by truck, some by helicopter and some dumped from planes.

[@scs408]

Thank you for taking us with you on your epic summit. Bravo!

[@arthurjones9580]

I love when you post a video. The hike looked beautiful!

[@SteifWood]

For the stair I had not to cover the end of the steps with a solid wide board, but instead notched it at every step. That way it's easier to shuffle the snow out on the side since the rise is fully covered. But maybe you don't have much snow in your neck of the woods.

[@romand123]

Always fun to get a little scared in the back country!

[@timseifert5556]

......best video ever from the Samurai

[@nakulah]

Totally, my passion for woodworking and mountaineering both were satisfied

[@user-yb9pb8rf8x]

Jesse, Your video(s) was inspiring and informative. As a woodworker and as a person, you make me want to jump in, take the chance and start projects and adventures. I always learn something when I watch. You do absolutely beautiful work. Thank you for sharing what you do.

[@kookiethebear]

@The Samurai Carpenter Many animals and critters are relocated by other animals...via capture and drop, ride-alongs, or excrement. Some of the best fishing holes are remote, like the lake you hiked to, as humans haven't had an easy go of polluting, damaging natural habitations, or overfishing. Thanks for sharing your challenging, but rewarding hike. As always, your builds are top notch...but what happened to the mortise and tenon joints for the rails? ;-)

[@ibTeeMac]

Our Backyard is the best. Pick a mountain and go for it.... Cheers with a Lucky..

[@jonathansimpson8695]

amazing staircase... great place to sit and contemplate the next project !!

[@NoSeriouslyBut]

Slurping those cool fresh streams that Mount Clitsa provides is divine

[@JustinLCooper]

This is purely good livin'. thx!😊

[@myforeverhomestead6152]

love love love all your vids. your hike to the mountaintop brought back fond memories of my adventures!

[@endangeredmarmot4518]

I though the trail you took looked wrong - the south side access, Brooke George trail, is easier to follow. It's tricky to find the trail since some rock slide wiped out a bit of the trailhead, but pretty easy to follow once you find it. Excellent summit ritual, BTW.

[@benscheidhastoomuchtosay2094]

The summit is a myth. You are exposing yourself in the most beautiful way the key to your excavator is in your rest. Always good stuff. Thank you!

[@LeslieBarker-b2x]

Hi, I’ve loved your past projects on your woodworking. Im a fellow woodcarver as well. Keep it up all the best, can’t wait for your next video mate!👍

[@Fixedopinion]

Canada looks beautiful, I live near the Appalachian mountains, in South Carolina The mountains are beautiful

[@patriciaharkin1571]

That was an epic trek and an epic achievement. Prayers to St. Anthony (patron saint of lost items) The stair case looks fantastic.

[@joshuanicholsjr5327]

love watching a master at work looks like I am there GrassHopper, the truth is most people that call themselves carpenters would not even understand anything you said about the wood they don't know what wood they are using most of the time, thank you for sharing your knowledge can't wait to see what you come up with next time be safe God Bless

[@silasmarner7586]

Well done on summiting. Congratulations.

[@emrhyssale9810]

Words seem so adequate seen those use again feel like you're on top of the world

[@espnmk]

Epic mountain climbing there Samurai, you got your steps in for the day just amazing beauty and 360 degree views. followed by some work and installing more eye candy those rail handles made of western yellow cedar oof awesome, thanks for sharing.

[@antonoat]

The stairs are looking fantastic, as is everything you build! That timber looks like butter, must be a real pleasure to use. Good luck with the keys, said a prayer for that one 👏👍😀🦦🦦🦦PS well done on the summit, knew you’d do it, 👏👏👏

[@farcry5299]

Truely epic! You’re a madman … love it 💪

[@roberthansek6732]

What a beautiful spot, looking forward to seeing it built. I used to go to Rangeley Lake in Maine and this reminds me in a small way of those trips.

[@Do_Odles]

Its so beautiful there! I've once visited Victoria BC, visited Vancouver Island (1996) and went out on a few lakes, passing islands that look like a similar location to yours. Nicest place on Earth I've ever been! Keep living the dream, Brother! Much love from the UK!

[@michaelgilchrist851]

That’s the best-looking set of stairs I’ve ever seen!

[@Brtmyster]

Another amazing episode. 😊

[@chrisis9030]

Ah, lovely mountains. Just like Holland.

[@robertmills413]

Epic stairs and epic views. Beautiful video samauri. Nothing quite like being naked on a peak!

[@TeslaPrince]

you've proven your manliness after this hike, great job Samurai, an excellent example for your children! Hello from Northern BC!

[@AA41975]

What we didnt see was the family that walked up behind him as he yelled out over the valley. 😂😂😂 Amazing view. The valley and mountains not he blurry part of the video 😂.

[@kaseyseeman9467]

Y'all better do a Sit n' slide test on those railings for the building inspector ~

[@rfalberti]

Absolutely beautiful brother....

[@alanqueen3922]

In building stairs, I’ve found that on long stringers runs, I usually add diagonal braceing to take side to side movement out, making stairways much more solid.

[@ronnyhaldorsen2740]

Back in the old days loggers would often bring fish to stock the alpine water in order to have a food source when they were logging.

[@wigidy12]

Glad you clarified the Mt clitza debate haha

[@ryanstewart6121]

The samurai doesn’t lose keys, the keys will find you with medication… I mean meditation! A wise old samurai once told me, “to find the key is to be the key.” He had dementia at the time, so don’t take his words, uh too seriously… In all seriousness, your stairs turned out amazing. You’ll find the keys soon, and if worst case you pay the manufacturer to send you a new set. Make a couple spares when you figure it out and put them in different locations, one in your truck, one at home, one in your pocket. Love the content, long time follower and love that you took a break from the regular video and made a day trip out of it. I’m from Utah and mountain lakes, although hard to climb to, are totally worth the journey!

[@joeybaldarelli6620]

Thoroughly enjoyed this vid! Way to push yourself to the top! And what a view!

[@rolandgdean]

Hope we don't hear you mentioned on the Missing Enigma channel man. Glad you called it when you did. Great video.

[@tonydpayne]

Good on you mate, never picked the samurai as a quitter

[@silasmarner7586]

I use a handheld GPS unit with the breadcrumb function ON and PROVEN to work. And the highest resolution map of the area downloaded. Then youre good to go.

[@mathometer]

really enjoyed this episode. The climb was inspiring and makes me want to try something similar (but a lot smaller!) Canada looks an incredible country! Stairs turned out fantastic.

[@markcrawford4912]

Like a Bob Ross painting at that body of water

[@artconnolly9519]

Very cool video brother. Love that stairs and those views are mother nature at her finest ❤

[@HugoHugunin]

Is it possible that the key done fell outcha pocket when you was gitten nekkid on the top o' that big ol' hill?

[@mikecharlie7721]

Well done mate, a huge effort on climbing to the top. The stairs and rails look great, I would be surprised if you didn't put in a 100% on anything you build. You are a Master Samurai Carpenter after all. Peace Out ✌️

[@curtiszeitelhack981]

I was glad that you made that trek all the way to the summit. If I had been with you, I would have sttled for making it to that first little lake. The handrails look great and sturdy. I hope you have found your keys.

[@dancoughlin7569]

Wow! Beautiful views! Close second to summiting is crushing a pizza and beer afterward :)

[@rfalberti]

That was epic in the history books....

[@dwightmcintosh8511]

Fish eggs can get caught up in or stuck to bird’s feathers and get transported anywhere.

[@mmmmmmm8706]

Hows them bigfoots? Great hike and views. Good job pushing thru it.

[@jorisvanimhoff9722]

Thanks for the tips Bear grills

[@daveloderhose874]

That wood is so lucky to have you building with it instead of some hack.☺️

[@murc111]

One perk of building in the middle of nowhere, To quote Doc Brown: Codes, Where we're going, we don't need codes.

[@peterhohnstein5109]

If you find your keys or get a new set, attach an apple air tag to your keychain. Life changing lol

[@KirkAllmond]

One theory I've heard is that birds wade through fish eggs, which stick to their feet. They fly up to the next lake and the eggs come off. Mostly, I think people brought fish up there.

[@jasondavis663]

Birds don't fully digest everything in their gut. Some portion of fish eggs make it through, and thereby make it to obscure lakes.

[@danielmonto892]

My bet is the fish where brought in by geese or duck the fish eggs will get caught in their feathers or even on their feet and transferred to pond to pond lake to lake. Love the show brother

[@MarkNiceyard]

Wow, just wow!

[@kaceesavage]

Great looking stairs.

[@TronDawg]

Well done big dog. That was wild! Was inspiring seeing that summit climb big bruv. Keep makin that magic:)

[@christophermcdonough1353]

Stunning stairs too by the way!!!

[@randallyons8745]

air tag them, really love you vids, thank you

[@mattbrown4895]

If Hitachi is like every other equipment company, key replacement will be super easy.

[@magartus]

do you have any video how did you build foundation for stairs ?

[@24carrotgold8]

Bring a locksmith out for a day on the lake. 🔑 😊

[@boosbeest1146]

Achievements galore!

[@squatch2003]

Great video! Really enjoyed it Jesse!

[@larryr2000]

Very funny vid. You funny doing a comic take on a hike.

[@nooralli5933]

Love the stairs

[@334peter]

The fish get in via bird. As they fly from lake to lake the eggs will sometimes stick to their legs and feet.

[@saren874]

Dude you must have the best wood supplier on the island.

[@Pistol_Knight]

Stunning just stunning, you need to get a Drone (DJI Mini Pro 3) for even better views. you could have rebated the rail to drop on top of the posts!!!
