I Got Lost Climbing a Mountain! And Built Some Railings

Turns out that even in this modern age, you can still get lost in the woods. In this video, I push my limits to summit Mt. Klitsa in one day. I also finish off the handrails on my staircase out at the lake. Enjoy!!

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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@jeremiahhurnblad7916]

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 .

[@bobbymorris525]

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

[@KarlBunker]

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

[@christophermcdonough1353]

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

[@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.

[@gary_neilson1896]

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

[@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...

[@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)

[@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? ;-)

[@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, 👏👏👏

[@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.

[@romand123]

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

[@dcpete3054]

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

[@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 😊

[@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.

[@shaneroper5470]

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

[@arthurjones9580]

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

[@emrhyssale9810]

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

[@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!👍

[@robertmills413]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@mmmmmmm8706]

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

[@Move-Monrovia]

The stair case looks great!

[@myforeverhomestead6152]

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

[@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 ✌️

[@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.

[@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.

[@vell0cet517]

That lake is breathtaking.

[@HugoHugunin]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@patriciaharkin1571]

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

[@scs408]

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

[@silasmarner7586]

Well done on summiting. Congratulations.

[@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.

[@farcry5299]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@TeslaPrince]

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

[@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!

[@rfalberti]

Absolutely beautiful brother....

[@BigBoyLies]

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

[@rbproductions78]

What a beautiful staircase Jesse. True Samurai style!

[@artconnolly9519]

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

[@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.

[@larryr2000]

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

[@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!!!

[@Fixedopinion]

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

[@rolandgdean]

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

[@JustinLCooper]

This is purely good livin'. thx!😊

[@joeybaldarelli6620]

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

[@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!

[@dancoughlin7569]

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

[@jonathansimpson8695]

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

[@NoSeriouslyBut]

Slurping those cool fresh streams that Mount Clitsa provides is divine

[@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

[@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.

[@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 😂.

[@keithhiscock4011]

I've driven along the south side of Sproat lake on the logging road there which is below Klitsa Mountain. Its full of wonderful waterfalls that come down from the heights.Went to the Snow Creek Recreation Site too ,where one of these waterfalls enters the lake , a wonderful campsite

[@peterhohnstein5109]

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

[@murc111]

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

[@markcrawford4912]

Like a Bob Ross painting at that body of water

[@SynthCatSpot]

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

[@jg997]

Prayers sent! Good luck!

[@chrisis9030]

Ah, lovely mountains. Just like Holland.

[@michaelgilchrist851]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@timseifert5556]

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

[@nakulah]

Totally, my passion for woodworking and mountaineering both were satisfied

[@kaseyseeman9467]

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

[@rahollo]

"Wild blueberries"?! That's a huckleberry, son. Nice bushwhackin'. On the fish, consider this: An eagle or hawk grabs a pregnant fish from one lake and flies with it to tree on another lake to eat it. Eggs drop into lake #2 and are fertilized by another fish that was already dropped there by another raptor. Over the course of a million years, it happens enough times to create a viable population.

[@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.

[@boosbeest1146]

Achievements galore!

[@kschleic9053]

I found a bunch of U2 fasteners in an commercial business liquidation auction recently.. they were in another buyers lot, but he didn't recognize the company and had bought the lot primarily for the shelving and bins, so i was able to trade him 10 of my bins for about 50 lbs of 4-7" timber lags😂 my next house will be built with U2!

[@dwightmcintosh8511]

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

[@seantarbell3088]

LMNT electrolytes fix the cramps. Those are some beautiful mountains. You should do some research on the carnivore diet it will give you so much energy,feel amazing and change your life.😮

[@-_James_-]

So... you installed the supports with your weight on the staircase. Doesn't that mean the supports will lift off the concrete slightly when your weight isn't on them?

[@rfalberti]

That was epic in the history books....

[@tonydpayne]

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

[@magartus]

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

[@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.

[@KerryBenton]

That's a damn good hike, congrats! Doing some hikes up at 9-12k ft lately and really feeling that thin air... got a lot of fitness to gain.

[@334peter]

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

[@wigidy12]

Glad you clarified the Mt clitza debate haha

[@wisniewskitracy]

Dear God, please help Jessie on his quest to build the best party deck ever! P.s. send him the excavator keys to the Hitachi.

[@ibTeeMac]

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

[@propylaeen]

I would dig the holes for you by hand for getting the chance climb that Mountain as a reward :-) Wow 🤩

[@24carrotgold8]

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

[@kenhart6330]

Check the inside of the excavator especially under the seat and armrest! Also try any toolboxes and under the pedals! You're doing a great job on your homestead, those steps look heavenly but whatever you do don't let the boys start sliding down them. You definitely don't need to be pulling splinters out of bottoms? Knowing boys like I do they like to do silly things like that I used to be one, a daft lad I mean.

[@Yoddeley]

I know i'm late but if you'r still looking for your keys ask ten times help to Saint-Antoine he is the patron of lost things. He will help. For my part i just ask him to help you.😉👍✝🛐
