The Meager Triathlon

SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/lifeofluke
This adventure involves biking a forest service road, hiking to Harrison Hut, and soaking in Meager Creek hot springs, so we dubbed it "The Meager Triathlon!"

You are one of the best when it comes to editing and creating outdoor adventures. Always enjoy it. And you are not a self centered blogger always talking about his life. Good job.

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks! I don't want to make videos which are just about me, and in mountain adventures that's exactly what mountains are good at, showing your insignificance on the grand scale

[@silencenhikes6692]

Never can capture fully the feeling of being out there.

[@lifeofluke]

@@silencenhikes6692 Agreed.

[@Irus73]

The best KZbin channel around easily. I'm so glad I stumbled across this. Cheers

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Luke!

[@RedRockMaintenance]

Been to Meager many times back in 2000-2004 time. One of the nicest ones ive been to.

[@WanderingSoleTV]

Awesome. I had forgotten about that Toy Soldier song. So good!

[@Laphroaigman]

I enjoyed your video. I skied up to the hut many years ago. The trees around the hut have gotten bigger! ;-)

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Keith! Yep those hardy subalpine trees are still weathering all that snow and reaching for the sky!

[@k.walker5428]

Another awesome video!! You capture everything so well and I really enjoy how you connect with your dog and friends out in nature and while exploring!

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks!

[@jeffrey2547]

Beautiful video, as always.

[@lifeofluke]

thank you!

[@ragan714]

Found your channel recently. Love the authenticity of your stuff. I think in another life we would have been kindred spirits. Keep putting out inspiring content maybe someday our paths will find the same contour line for a step or two.

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Ragan, I appreciate that!

[@bengt_axle]

Nina (your dog) is an athlete! Love the rainy day capture!

[@lifeofluke]

Ya she definitely is! I'm super proud of her

[@TheRyan5517]

This looks pretty good from my couch. Keep it comin!

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Ryan!

[@DannyJSchaefer]

Another great video, Luke! Looked like an awesome place to hunker down and camp out at!

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks, Danny! Ya it definitely was, I wish I had more time there.

[@anthonymorgan8258]

Looks like an amazing time and definitely worth the hard trek up! Enjoying all the content you’ve been putting out bud 👍🏼

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Anthony!

[@rishp2891]

Very cool video bud. If you ever travel in the Kamloops area, would be cool to adventure around. There's some great hikes to do around here

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks, ya so I've heard!

[@lukecoggins5137]

Neat. I grew up in lillooet area and would love to check it out

[@Germinal67]

Thank you, sitting watching on a frosty Scottish Monday afternoon.

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks for watching, cheers from Canada!

[@endangeredmarmot4518]

Another awesome video, Luke. Meager has been on my to-do list, but I haven't had the time to go and explore - can you share a link for the trail guide you used?

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Cody! I used this page: www.ubc-voc.com/wiki/Harrison_Hut_Trail which has a helpful map

[@AbandonedUrbexCanada]

Great video Luke, you guys are such warriors! That cabin is it just open for people to use or do you have to book it before you stay?

[@lifeofluke]

It's owned by UBC varsity outdoor club and open for the public to use. They recommend posting your planned trip on their forum to avoid conflicts with other groups, but there's no booking, it's first come first serve

[@somerandomgoogleuser3374]

Wow! Awesome videos Luke!!! I've just watched about 8 of them in a row! Really nice footage & in such a humble way too! Nina is such a great & capable companion for you. How old is she? I'd guess 2-3 years?? Love your beautiful tiny house too - you're dead right in that you don't need much to be happy - in all reality, just food in your stomach, shelter & to be warm!!! Such beautiful scenery way up there in the North. From an old, hope to be again, hiker ( tramper as we say way down under in the deep southern hemisphere!) Keep up the excellent adventures & videos. From Andrew, way way down in N.Z. ( New Zealand)!!! Subscribed for sure!

[@lifeofluke]

Kia ora, thanks Andrew! You are correct, Nina is 3 years old now. I appreciate the encouraging comment and all the best to you!

[@satn3345]

Nice video. I always thought the hot springs pools were gone because of the mud slide ? Or were they rebuilt?

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Stan. No, the rock slide didn't reach the hot springs so they were untouched

[@teacherbk]

Brilliant channel! Mesmerizing shots. Would you mind sharing how you do the night sky shots? The approach to Meager has sure changed since the early 90's when there was drive-in access. I don't think I'll be returning any time soon.

[@lifeofluke]

Thanks Bill! I set up a long exposure time lapse to capture the night sky shots, of course using a tripod

[@teacherbk]

@@lifeofluke Thanks for the quick reply. There is some zoom/tilt camera motion apparent in the timelapse shots. Are they done in post or are you using a slider of some sort? Have you considered making a video on your cinematic techniques? Thanks again for an outstanding channel that lets me relive some of the trips I did in my youth and many that I will never have a chance to experience.

[@lifeofluke]

@@teacherbk the panning and tilting in the time lapses is done digitally. Photos are always taller than the video frame size so there's extra image on top or bottom that makes sense to be used that way. I have considered a video about my techniques, one of the major problems is I only have one camera and therefore wouldn't be able to record myself using my camera... I hear what you mean and could do one about technique in the future.

[@mountfairweather]

Isnt meager hotsprings closed to the public?

[@lifeofluke]

It is but lots of people go anyway, especially those in forestry with keys to the gate.

[@alcoholdebt4468]

Honestly need friends to do this with

[@lifeofluke]

That's the key right there

[@irinearibeirofaria1519]

Superb quote

[@paulchandler9646]

So they took the sign down did they.

[@lifeofluke]

The post broke

[@jarastafaria3088]

Leave the dog at home. Dogs kill hotsprings.

[@lifeofluke]

That doesn't make sense. So by that same logic dogs also kill lakes, ponds, rivers, streams and any other bodies of water or just hot springs? How?

[@jarastafaria3088]

@@lifeofluke they shit and piss everywhere and bacteria doesn't stop growing because hotsprings are perfect temperatures and humidity. When hotsprings get to popular eventually they get shut down because people bring dogs. People start getting sick they figure out every one is getting sick from the dog freindly hotspring. And your dogs shit and piss isn't good for lakes and streams ether its just that eventually it drop below freezing for a length of time and kill the bacteria.

[@jarastafaria3088]

Its why you can't always use the public mud springs at haison sometimes. Every once and a while it becomes a bio hazard. Its why they have to chlorinate the main spring at the hotel. Its also why when someone thats actually an outdoors enthusiasts finds a hot springs or builds one out they generally try and keep it a secret.. they don't make youtube videos showing people how to get to their secret spot and destroy it. They are vary ecosensitive places u don't bring dogs.
