Salt River Range: From Good, to Bad, to the Worst!

[@TayLybb]

I like how this is not Instagram-ish. It's real life. Sometimes life is rough.

[@RJ-hi5pw]

The difference in your face between 0:10 and 12:06. Looks like you aged 10 years. Rough going but appreciated as I could enjoy these views of Wyoming from my sofa in London.

[@TrailRunnerLife]

Had same experience running a trail marathon (near 100 degree heat) - had wrinkles appear on my face that day that I didn't see again for another 6 or 7 years. Did all my puking on the trail though.

[@tallguygreg]

I was just thinking this same thought when I saw your comment. Crazy!

[@williamdowling7718]

"except for all the torture and bloody puke, pretty good day!" LOL. You're a beast.

[@JNeilFarren]

Just subbed. Feel bad now that I subscribed right after watching this video, it was genuinely hard to watch your discomfort on this one and I'm glad to see you've apparently recovered. The reason I subbed is because I just realized I've watched so many of your (all TOP notch) videos yet I've rarely provided my "like" to support you. And that you've never asked us to "like and subscribe" and your content is 100% something I would "like and subscribe" to. Keep it up, continue to be safe having that kind of "fun" you can look back on, and I will happily watch all of your compositions. It really inspires me to get out and do more. Also, thank you for taking the time to document your adventures. Your edits may well stand as some of the best efforts to document exploring our natural world for generations to come.

[@Gabrielishere]

Holy 💩 at 11:23 looks like you were entering the spirit realm 🤣.... I used to surf 3x a day every day, at my peak of high performance surfing, and I could get away with and loved eating the same as you lol, but I'll never forget the time I was in Bali and we pulled up to this secret spot that had some of the best waves I've ever seen. I completely forgot all about hydration, sunscreen, etc... and paid for it the same way you did, the next day or so. I totally used to have a "I don't have time for anything now that I'm looking at the thing I'm about to do" A.D.D. mindset, and still can have it, at times, but I'll never forget that Bali trip, and I try alot harder now to at the very least drink a ton of water / Gatorade...

[@manfredseidler1531]

I wish you could communicate how you recovered and what caused so much sudden demise. The fact you're a stud muffin speaks to the fact you were able to extricate yourself without getting the medics involved. Epic on a whole new level. Glad you made it home.

"Matt flew us out in his brand new red helicopter" - only in America man

[@BroDuke1]

Idk why I always watch these when I’m eating

[@josephherring2776]

I absolutely love all your videos!... keep ‘em coming!

[@akusantafe]

Thanks, as always, for a valuable, full report. I'm sure the stress of the descent on loose rock had a large role in the aftermath.

[@ReviewedByAndy]

This is the best channel on, KZbin, and it is impressive, how entertaining and consumable these videos are, despite them being made by so-called mediocre amateurs.

[@mycroft16]

Heat exhaustion is brutal. It can turn an otherwise fairly straightforward day into hell. I love how right as you express concern about the descent, you go down.

[@chilto81]

Ugh! Dang man, hope you are better now! Thank you for all of the amazing content!

[@desviz]

Dude, you have a Helo Pilot, recruit an RN so you can get IVs...Wicked Burly! Well DONE!

[@mikemcintosh9933]

Really enjoying the videos, and appreciating the effort, the beauty, the production value. 11:23 shot really looks different. No wonder you got sick! You look very gaunt and worn out in this shot.

[@Ryanhelpmeunderstand]

I swear Danny is like Bulimic... Danny God loves you bro.

[@barryrabold]

BEASTS! Came across your channel a week ago and have been binging [not puking] ever since. Great content AND great trips. Gotta say you guys put yourself in some gnarly positions, but it does make for great content. There’s a lot of spots in BC you should think about visiting.

[@Naafun]

Love all the MA videos... Of all the pukes, this one is definitely the most brutal. Peace and thank you!

[@TheOutdoorBeerReview]

I just wana know what Matt does to be able to afford a $800,000 helicopter 🤔

[@desviz]

Yeah, I thought its a 44, but its a 66,,,TURBINE Baby!

[@Sam-ik6uj]

Probably shares it with a group of people. I’ve heard of people doing that for airplanes

[@desviz]

I do aerial photography and fly with many different helicopter companies. One company is as low as $350 / hr for the piston version of Matt's Heli...so if the costs are spread across 3 or 4 MA'ers, it's not so bad.

[@foxyMamaIdaho]

Blood? Happen to know anyone in the medical profession that could help you? Hmmmm? I mean to say...anyone any good? You are NOT allowed to get hurt. At least wait until Dr. C is back from Wind Rivers. If HE survives without getting attacked by poisonous spiders again on this year's trip. We all think of you as the blonde Superman who is leaping tall mountains instead of leaping tall buildings. And doing so with a brilliant sense of humor, grace and extreme good looks as usual.

[@iainbenton]

Second time I've seen Danny with heat stroke, what's a little brain damage among friends though. Great video.

[@frankblangeard8865]

Heat exhaustion not heat stroke.

First off, love the videos! Second, this one was really good, but as I was watching I kept thinking, "geez, he doesn't look as sprightly as usual," Hoping you are well soon!

[@JONBOYLEMON]

Hope you pull out of tailspin. Loved the video, hated the puking.

[@gilligansisle6914]

Rest up friend! Thanks for the great video again!

[@cq7415]

Your hiking buddy is chopper pilot. Pretty scenery in Wyoming. I would rather hike slower and enjoy the scenery more. Thanks.

[@paxundpeace9970]

Glad that the pilot didn't get sick.

[@michaelb1761]

This video diserved a thumbs up just for the torture you went through. Gorgeous country though, as well.

[@kitcarson1388]

Love the videos, the puking - not so much!

[@kennyw871]

Have you MA'ers considered doing the Mount Marathon Race in Seward, Alaska? It might just be the toughest 5K on earth. Looks to me like you're "up and down" for it.

[@trumanweston]

Hope you get right soon. If you do figure out anything acutely wrong give an update as we are all curious what could hurt the iron man.

[@Cgh432]

Been there done that all the way home it sucks

[@TheOutdoorsyDude]

*pukes blood* "other than that it was a pretty cool trip."

[@shawnwalden2669]

Great vid as usual. Get better man!!!

[@thog1234]

How do you decide as a group when to run and when to walk?

[@williamdowling7718]

Whoever decides to walk gets left on the mountain.

[@kbagadonuts]

Probably more power hiking uphill and running along flats and downhill. Walk when filming

[@zettle2345]

Ah yes heat stroke, gotta take more water and salt. Been there 4 or 5 times myself. First time I was just a kid playing on a rope swing at my friends house all day. Got sick twice going home, all of about 100 yds. distance. Couldn't even lift a fork full of food to my mouth. My Dad sat me down on the couch and gave me a cup of salt water, then told me to rest. 45 minutes later I was feeling better, but rested and slept til the next day. Not a good feeling, but at least recovery is simple and quick. ATB Danny, keep doing what your doing friend

[@sgriff5692]

That was heat exhaustion, not heat stroke.

[@evanchurch3549]

Nice helicopter, Matt!

[@Predazord007]

That looked nasty at the end there. Get well soon dude

[@benzun9600]

afton wy. i live near there. That is a nice trail to run

[@whaleshrimp111]

Danny, maybe time to try fly fishing and give yourself a break. Most of us live a long time if we change with the years. I was able to keep white water kayaking until I was 65. Now 71, I bought some lapidary equipment and polish rocks and try to keep up with my much younger girlfriend.

What do u guys ave in pace? Start to finish. Just curious and also want to know if it changes much when u do a day run/hike/scramble vs those crazy 2 day all nighters. Love the videos. Edit: finished the video...saw the last bit. Hope ur doing better!

That's my backyard! For a minute there I thought you were going to do the route I've been planning for a few years. I want to traverse the ridge from Fitzpatrick to Rock Lake Peak. From your vantage point, did it look doable?

[@vaughnblaylock6069]

My family and I are moving there next year. We just bought a lot in Rockbridge. The route along the ridge from our soon-to-be back yard to Mt. Fitzpatrick to Rock Lake Peak is trip number one for us. Have you done it yet? It looks fair to good from the Google Maps.

[@frankblangeard8865]

I've noticed from watching your videos that you eat and drink a lot of junk. Try giving up the Coke, Mountain Dew, Little Debbie Pastries etc. and try eating and drinking food.

[@MediocreAmateur]

Ha! My eating is atrocious but it's not my biggest problem. Usually the culprit is poor hydration and electrolyte management. On this trip I forgot to bring my drink mix and fell behind on my drinking early on. Ridge traverses are especially difficult when it comes to staying hydrated (watch the WURL video) There's no water up high and I often sacrifice my water for less weight on my back, which is incredibly stupid. I noticed you watched the rim to rim to rim video as well. It's the same mistake. I drank almost nothing heading up bright angle. As a result I started feeling sick, because I feel sick i drink and eat less and become more ill. It's a vicious cycle I'm too lazy to stop from happening every now and then.

[@johnlisonbee]

@@MediocreAmateur Lessons learned. When you work that hard though, junk food is your best friend. You are right about the hydration though. I've done R3 twice now and drinking and eating early and often (Especially drinking and drinking electrolytes) is key. Keep the movies coming!
