Lake Minnewanka 3-Days Backcountry Camping | Banff, Alberta |

[@shamhafiz7585]

I’ll be doing solo overnight kayak camp out at Lake Minnewanka this Friday!!!and im getting excited I’m happy to find this video

[@skidaddledude1997]

All the best with the concussion recovery. I had one about 10 years ago and as far as I know recovered fully. I think most people do recover fully.

[@chrisb8434]

Oh my goodness that hike looks sooooo spectacular! Awesome video Justin

[@BigPineWebSolutions]

Great vid Justin :) Thanks for taking us along

[@rebdyck]

That looks like a lovely little get-a-way. It's wonderful when one can enjoy their own company.

[@JustinOutdoors]

Definitely, I always underestimate how rejuvenating a solo trip can be.

[@BackpackingWithJason]

The scenery is incredible out there. That is some good advice about concussion. I always sleep for a long time in the woods too. Really cool video 👍

[@JustinOutdoors]

Thanks Jason! It's amazing how much progress has been made in concussion research over the last few years. I think doctors need to prescribe the woods for people with concussions!

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Great time away! Hope you have a speedy recovery! Beautiful scenery!! I joined your channel 🔔

[@JustinOutdoors]

Thanks! It was a great trip for recovery. Been getting away as much as possible as that's the only time I feel asymptomatic.

[@spinachandrice]

Hope you have recovered and keep making awesome videos! Also Canadian accent is so soothing

[@JustinOutdoors]

Thanks! So many more videos coming out this summer. I'm going on an epic 4-day trip this weekend and then in two weeks I'm hiking Berg Lake Trail for 5 days, which is supposed to be one of the best trails in Canada!

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

tough break .....great recovery plan ! godspeed

[@JustinOutdoors]

Thanks! Also hoping for a quick recovery.

[@BackcountryForward]

Haha that slow mo run out of the water! 😂 Sorry to hear about the concussion though. Seems like you’re taking a thoughtful and healthy approach to your recovery though. Get well soon!

[@JustinOutdoors]

After seeing the footage, I could not slo mo it. Haha. And thanks. It's super tough as someone who likes to be active and use their brain. Rather break a bone any day.

[@Totalpackageism]

Thanks for sharing! Was a good virtual experience 😀 Stay safe on your hikes and continue posting on KZbin! 😁

[@JustinOutdoors]

Thanks! And I have a ton more trips and videos up my sleeve!

[@alpineearth]

Hope you are fully recovered now

[@AmyRoutt]

What a nice retreat! Glad you're recovering. I've never been to Canada. For a short time I lived really close to the border, but I didn't have my US passport so I couldn't go haha I've since gotten a passport but haven't been up there yet, still. Banff looks beautiful!

[@JustinOutdoors]

It was really nice! If you're ever thinking of visiting Canada, I'm sure Jesse, Matty, and I could take you on some spectacular hikes!

[@AmyRoutt]

@@JustinOutdoors I gotta keep that in mind!

[@mushroominCanada]

where is this place located?

[@stevetobias9097]

Banff Canada

[@GubbioGear]

Wow, thems some real hills! 🤘

[@nalhurst9042]

Going to do this this summer just got to get through this s***** winter

[@DannyBoyOutdoorsTravel]

Hi Justin, is this the lake minnewanka lakeside trail, about 16km? Thanks.

[@Ak-jm5fm]

Hey bro, how do those bear lockers work and are they found across all national parks in Banff like lake louise as well? Thanks

[@JustinOutdoors]

A lot of camp sites have them but others have hanging poles too - or nothing. The reservation info will let you know.

[@Ak-jm5fm]

Am I able to just pitch a tent anywhere in lake louise off the trails or close to trails?

[@JustinOutdoors]

Nope. You need a permit for anywhere in the parks.

[@Ak-jm5fm]

@@JustinOutdoors thought so thank you. Ok so pick up a permit then I can go ahead and take any trail and am able to set up camp pretty much anywhere correct?

Just in time for lunch !!!

[@jacoblemay3857]

Do you have to book?

[@JustinOutdoors]

Yes!

[@wanderingaloudwithmark3057]

Looks like you are wearing Altra's. Do you know if they make a boot? I need the ankle support. Had my ankles rock over a few times. But my boots did the trick

[@JustinOutdoors]

They make a lone peak "boot" bit they don't come up the ankle very high. I've never had a boot that allowed good foot movement but also protected my ankles. I've always strengthened my ankles while healthy and then wear a brace when they are injured or healing. I have had ankles too from playing competitive soccer for decades.

[@jennamontgomery7092]

Hi Justin! Just booking Lake Minnewanka now and I'm wondering which campsite you stayed at specifically, as there are a few. Thanks in advance!

[@JustinOutdoors]

LM8!

[@musingwithreba9667]

Aw man, concussion is no fun at all! Looks like you're doing ok though. Don't try to move too fast, take some time to smell the roses. Or talk to the deer. ☺

[@JustinOutdoors]

It's been over a year now and I think I'm pretty much healed. Hard to say without a baseline though :(

[@mjohanson]

Justin, this great! Is it possible to make longer videos for example look at abbey barnes her channel. Which is a awesome channel also.

[@MattyOutdoors]

Concussions are zero fun. Tough to find a prettier recovery spot! You sending that clip in as your audition for the next baywatch movie? lol

[@JustinOutdoors]

Hoping The Rock and Zac allow me on board. Need to get out and work on my tan more though :P

[@MattyOutdoors]

@@JustinOutdoors LOL!! Get it!!!!

[@chelseasmith5506]

I personally prefer the non chocolate coated M&Ms.

[@JustinOutdoors]

🤦‍♂️

[@johngreenhow2645]

Watch out for The Spirit of the Lake

[@JustinOutdoors]

I was watching out! Didn't see it :(

[@stevetobias9097]

Hope you didn’t get run off the trail by mountain bikers cuz that’s such a popular mtb trail. It’s my absolute favourite in the Rockies. Great video Justin, glad you had a great recovery trek.
