Outdoor YouTubers are hiding VITAL secrets from you

[@ElinaOsborne]

YOU HAVE THE BEST ENERGY. Loved this, Gordon 🔥 What a beautiful way of capturing the essence of this trip, what a time.

[@grimgranite]

Thanks so much, Elina! Your Hayduke story trailer still gets me… can’t wait to see that when it’s done!

[@michel.h_cf99]

​@@grimgranite You're not the only one who expects this video soon 😉

[@eric_hanson]

Gordon! I love this so much! I can get past the fact that you jokingly misspelled my name. I had no idea that you hadn't been hiking for 9 months! You hid your secret so well. Anyway, thanks for making me laugh and bringing me back to this ultra fun trip!

[@grimgranite]

Thanks, Eric! I DID misspell your name, I am the WORST! 🤦🏻‍♂️ I don’t know how that made it past the grammar department! I appreciate your support and I’m glad it brought a chuckle and a smile! 😀

[@eric_hanson]

@@grimgranite haha it's okay. Whoever your editor is though... needs to pay for that mistake!

[@JeffPelletier]

You may or may not have misspelled my name too 😅. But man is this is a good edit!

[@grimgranite]

@@eric_hanson Yours truly did the edit. FIRED! 😂

[@MyLifeOutdoors]

This looked so fun! I’m really sad I missed it!!

[@grimgranite]

Would have been to hang out with you, Steven! You would have given Tayson a run for his money with your beard too!

[@JeffPelletier]

“and we had bodyguards” this is so good 😂

[@grimgranite]

😂 I’m glad you enjoy the Dad humor!

[@BackcountryExposure]

This was awesome, Gordon! Love your humility. Super bummed I missed being there with y’all.

[@grimgranite]

Thanks, Devin! Looking forward to a time that we can hang out, dude!

[@inthehouse1960]

Hey Gordon. I've lived the last 40 of my 63 years in Colorado. For 20 years I did all the outdoor adventures you can imagine in this beautiful state - and in other states and countries. 20 years ago my back gave out and I ended up having a multi-level spinal fusion surgery. So my adventures have been more limited for some time. When you and Daren were talking about sore knees and bulging disks I said out loud to my screen, "Listen to your body. Don't be a hero." When your body says stop, then stop. You did the right thing. Thanks for sharing your journey and stay safe.

[@grimgranite]

Listen to your body… I need that on a T-shirt! Thanks for watching and sharing your story as well.

[@BryceNewbold]

Dude!! This was so good... such a good time!

[@grimgranite]

Thanks, brother! It sure was!

[@TaysonWhittaker]

Utah Flat Baby!!!! Such a fun time and loved the video! Was hoping you wouldn't pick up on my evil plans...

[@grimgranite]

Tayson! I am totally putting “Utah Flat” on a T-shirt! Thanks for having us out and sharing that cool place with us… especially this flatlander!

[@Cdrop20]

That’s pretty cool of outdoor vitals to bring you guys together all at once.

[@grimgranite]

They are great hosts and truly care about the community. Always a good time!

[@Jasper0o0]

Congratulations on your trip! That must of felt like a huge personal victory. Good for you, man. I hope at some point, to visit that type of environment. It’s so harsh, but so beautiful.

[@grimgranite]

Thank you! I agree, harsh but beautiful. The desert is growing on me the more I learn about it… I still prefer my north woods forests though. 😅🌳🏕️

[@Jasper0o0]

@@grimgranite I agree. Give me a campfire, at the edge of a lake, with a loon calling, & a coffee in hand… I’m a happy camper 👍🏻☕️

[@RealDivisionTech]

Being in the hospital and wanting to be out on the trail, it was a delight to see a video of yours pop up. It brightened my spirits and gave me hope for this summer. Glad to see you out there.

[@grimgranite]

I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the video! I hope you heal up fast and get a chance to be out in nature soon!

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Dude, that trip looked Epic! So cool that you got to be a part of it and congrats on getting back out there!

[@grimgranite]

Thanks so much, Jim! It was a great feeling for sure!

[@solukhumbu911]

i definitely found a completely new found respect for Eric Hanson after learning the fact that he spent 200 nights a year outside as a guide. I thought he was just another Dan Becker forever omg !!

[@grimgranite]

Both Dan and Eric are great guys, for sure! Dan is a good friend and spends a ton of time on trail every year. I deeply respect both of them! Thanks for watching!

[@annarborthenorris5455]

I saw you on Eric Hanson channel about this trip. I have been watching each of the videos of the 7 participates since then. You and Jeff were the only ones I wasn't familiar with. I have subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your content. I love OV products and have a lot of the gear you were using. That backpack is my favorite one of all that I own.

[@grimgranite]

How cool! Thanks for being here and for the comment! I have really been enjoying the pack as well!

[@FoxandFir]

This might be my favorite video from you! I loved everything about it, and it was so fun to watch!

[@grimgranite]

That means a lot, thanks Josh!! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@JoshuaJohnsonOutdoors]

Cool video, man. Lots of cool creators. I'm happy for you that you're able to get out into the hills again. I'm a bit grounded myself lately, so I can relate in a way.

[@grimgranite]

Thanks for being here! I hope you can get back out there again soon, for sure!

[@TrailCheeksnTrailMix]

you and Bryce should make some recovery videos with good tips for your pain issues. I too am dealing with a lower back issue, and just came out of 2 surgeries within the last 12 months. Im constantly researching stretches, but nothing from backpackers. My physical therapist doesn't get it, I cant just NOT go. I love it too much!!

[@northwestwalking]

Well done good sir! I wasn’t sure what to expect seeing all you folks on a group hike. This was a great telling of your adventure. Thanks for sharing

[@grimgranite]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@HikingwithGus]

Great video! Well, except for the Bryce Newbold parts.... LOL J/K Bryce is awesome and a joy to hike with. Looks like y'all has a blast!

[@grimgranite]

That Bryce guy! 😅 He’s a good dude.

[@Mike_Blanda]

Epic brother! Super cool man! I heard Devin mentioned yall were near on his recent video but it’s cool to finally see some video 👍 I agree man, I absolutely LOVE OV gear and approach to the backpacking world. Iv loved all my gear from them. Gordon, so glade too see your back at it with your surgery and battle with healing man! Keep it up dude. GOD bless sir

[@grimgranite]

Thanks, Mike! I appreciate the support! 💪🏼

[@LousyFIBs]

Great Vid! It's fun seeing the same trip from different KZbinrs' perspectives!

[@grimgranite]

Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you!

[@anninwhack1998]

I really enjoyed your video! It’s amazing what you and Bryce did with physical challenges. I have my own zingers. My biggest fear going out is body failure. You guys are awesome! Good luck getting to where you want to be w your fitness!

[@grimgranite]

Thanks so much!

[@valdius85]

“survival situation” - 😂❤

[@grimgranite]

😅

[@Smokeybeesnatural]

It's an interesting experience every time I go to a "KZbinr Meetup". I struggle with wanting to meet people and whether I should record or not 😅. Soooo many cameras 😅 I wind up getting super shy 😅

[@grimgranite]

Multitasking is TOUGH in these situations ha! I find it tough, being a bit of an introvert for sure! Hope we can hang out sometime at one of these things!

[@BeckiandChris]

Great story here! Looked like a nice time!

[@grimgranite]

Thank you! It was a blast and so nice to meet peeps in person!

[@AlexHatlevig]

Awesome video! I can relate to your pains, but also to the feeling of getting back out there!

[@grimgranite]

Thanks, Alex! I appreciate it. We gotta get together sometime so I can hear more about it.

[@AlexHatlevig]

@@grimgranite I agree!

[@Jonhikes]

Love this! Looks like so much fun. Can't wait to get back out there!

[@marilyncrum9130]

Beautiful! I applaud you all, it looked arduous but you all made it fun, congrats.

Now I know why it felt so familiar! 😂

Thank you for making awesome videos and sharing your story!

[@grimgranite]

Thanks for being here, man!

[@richardhenry1969]

The only thing better then hiking is have a bunch of people to hike with. Seems like a fun time. Ive been on those endless mountains in Utah.

[@grimgranite]

Utah is pretty incredible!

Thank you so much!

Wicked fun all star cast!

I live in Utah, it’s a lil boring but it sure is beautiful

[@grimgranite]

It was incredible… lots to see if you love the desert! Thanks for watching!

[@NealBenson]

Great video! Makes me like OV even more

[@grimgranite]

They are great folks and certainly make excellent gear!

[@Thehappyhammockhiker]

Did you bring a SAK with you?

[@grimgranite]

I wish!! I had to fly and didn’t want to check a bag.

[@Thehappyhammockhiker]

@@grimgranite I understand, don't forget the handy jetsetter

[@Thehappyhammockhiker]

Glad you all had fun, I've been following Eric and Miranda ever since I got into hiking.

It was in the water canyon area, near Zion.

Why wasn’t Dan Becker there??

He was spending time with family. He was sorely missed for sure!

no darwin.. no jupiter.. no dixie.. no kraig.. ?? no famous.. 😅

😅 We need a part two then!

I disagree! All these folks are famous! I watch them all the time. (actually, Grim Granite is new to me, so I just subbed.)
