HBC Heritage Trail Part 2 - Blackeye's to Peers Creek

[@BluecollarBackcountry]

Carley you are so fortunate to experience beautiful views like this. What a great hike. I bet the footsteps and noise that morning were a little un-nerving. I've been in a few situations where the hair on the back of my neck stood up. It's all part of the great adventures we get to experience. Great job.

[@Nerding4Nature]

Ya, it was a little unnerving to wake up to. Luckily, it did sound quite hoofed and not very hungry. It seems that camping alone ends with an animal in camp more often than not. I reckon I'm just quieter when I'm alone, plus I probably sleep lighter.

[@BluecollarBackcountry]

+The Last Grownup in the Woods I know what you mean. It usually takes me a couple of nights to settle into decent sleep.

[@KevinsAdventures]

Great hike Carley, very amazing scenery and great camera work. You're a beast in a good way, that was some serious trekking through bear country and you looked very confident and aware. I really love your passion for camp safety and spreading the knowledge about packing out your trash. I will adopt your policies on this subject, very good video. Thanks for taking me along and I'll go check out Nate's channel as well as Spreadshirt.

[@Nerding4Nature]

Thanks Kevin! Yup, garbage drives me bonkers, but if my rants can result in a little less trash in the woods, then I'm happy.

[@FloridaGirlAdventures]

I have heard tale of a pooper quite like that on the AT but the view is nothing like yours! Amazing view,beautiful area, great camera work and -much love to the salamanders :-)

[@Nerding4Nature]

Thanks! I was a bit sad about missing the salamanders. They were a highlight of my last hike in the area.

[@citybee311]

Wow what a place. Thanks for video ATB

[@SalineScott]

Great hike. Thanks for bringing us along. Looks like lots of fun. If I brought peanut butter, I would eat to much if it.

[@Nerding4Nature]

Ya, I rarely eat peanut butter. I tend to eat too much. Plus it's messy. Those little packages are just about perfect though. Thanks for watching!

[@tenmuter4033]

Great video! you're so knowledgable about the wildnerness! I would love to learn more about different plants or how to read trails for wildlife if you're willing to share the information! I will check out your other videos too!

[@Nerding4Nature]

Thank you. I try to do a video every week on something nature related - either an outdoor adventure or something plant or animal related.

[@RandomButtonPusher]

Great landscape to hike through -- and you make a very fun guide for us. Glad you still have your "ranger mode," though I know it doesn't help your load or mood at the time. Hopefully it will sink in deeper with all your viewers, who can help spread the message.

[@Nerding4Nature]

I hope it does. I doubt any of my viewers are litterbugs, but I reckon quite a few would (or already do) pack out some garbage from time to time.

[@BrianWest58]

So jealous of the area you have as a backyard to hike in!

[@Nerding4Nature]

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with the landscape in my corner of the world :D Thanks for watching.

[@stellap.6664]

It was interesting to hear about the First Nations people blazing the trails with the tree bending. It must be so cool to come across things like that along the trails.

[@Nerding4Nature]

Ya, it could have been natural, but it was in the right place. I was excited to see it.

[@valeriecairns3239]

Thanks for the video.

[@Nerding4Nature]

You are welcome!

[@TheOtterOutdoorsman]

Awesome hike Carley! You are a trooper! Also there were puns I had during the video, should of wrote them down but they got away from me... darn

[@Nerding4Nature]

Well darn. I guess puns are a little like dreams. You've gotta write them down right away or you forget 'em.

[@fisheyeguy]

Man what views! Just awesome!

[@Nerding4Nature]

Thanks. It was pretty amazing around the summit of the pass.

[@natelarge]

Thank you for the shout out, you are very kind. It is encouraging to hear that people I admire enjoy my work. The Hudson's Bay Heritage trail looks like a great hike, I hope to do some hiking in Canada one day.

[@Nerding4Nature]

No prob. Hopefully a few more people will be able to enjoy your videos now. If you ever need advice on good hikes in BC, I can point you in a few directions.

[@sosteve9113]

awesome trail Carely, when i was looking at your map i was wondering how you getting back,or you going to make a loop but then you say,your ride was coming it all make sense lol you where telling about the bears,i presume you have pepperspray in your backpack? or trow with a pumpkin hahaha

[@Nerding4Nature]

lol. It was too early in the year for pumpkins :D (It did this in summer), but ya, I have bear spray, although I did accidentally drop it on the first day and had to spend an hour going back down the hill to retrieve it. As for rides, my husband dropped me off on the way back from a road trip, and a friend picked me up at the end. It ends only a few miles from where I used to live, so it was easy to find a friend to drive me (and to let me stash my car at their place).

[@sosteve9113]

if you do the effort to get your spray back,it must be important to have it lol it looks like a great trail and one with a lot of history,something i like a lot great to have many good friends,who you can relay on i thought it was earlier in the year because the blue berries :-) greetings from Belgium

[@NoTrail]

British Columbia....beautiful place...cool hike. Some people should not be in the outdoors...the ones that leave crap everywhere. 27 miles...that's a good hike...not too long...not too short.

[@Nerding4Nature]

Ya, I think its around my ideal length, though the longer ones can get you into some pretty amazing places.

[@artistben7]

Great hiking trek you did T.L.G.I.T.W. Thanks so much for sharing. Im a peanut Butter lover as well. Yummy!!! :)

[@Nerding4Nature]

Mmmm. I could just eat it by the spoonful (and I was in this video)

[@artistben7]

Yes the hike you did was awesome but I would have been leary of all the bear alerts. I hope you carry a side arm when you hike for defense.

[@Cands528]

I so enjoy your videos! Such beautiful scenery! Thanks for sharing!

[@Nerding4Nature]

Thanks for watching!

[@LeeRalph100]

Awesomely Beautiful area. This was very enjoyable watching on full screen! I love the humor you add to your videos "I keep forgetting my camera" LOL I like the walking away from the camera shots, but dread the going back for the camera part! Thank You for another great video!

[@Nerding4Nature]

I can never watch one of those shots without thinking about someone having to come back for the camera. Thanks for watching!

[@IHatchetJack]

Good trip! When I was a teenager I loved going downhill. Now that I'm an old man, I'll take uphill both ways. Excellent video, as always.

[@Nerding4Nature]

Yup. The last few kilometres just about killed me. Next time I'll arrange a helicopter pickup at the top :D

[@CarolinaChrisOutdoors]

Very nice... I don't think I've ever seen one of your videos that didn't make me laugh. Great editing, and music, and scenery!!!! Thanks for sharing this awesome trip!!!!! -Chris

[@Nerding4Nature]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

[@shovelhead8]

Nice finish to your trip. Peanut butter is good. 6000 calories per Kilo/ 2.2 pounds. Thank you for the video, Carley

[@Nerding4Nature]

And now it comes dehydrated!!

[@shovelhead8]

I don't know if the powder has as much calories as the regular stuff. Thank you for the reply, Carley

[@Nerding4Nature]

Probably not. I imagine they get a lot of the fat out of it before dehydrating it.

[@buckmusky2201]

wow awesome trip you took there! Thanks for filming for us! I stumbled on this video while looking for HBC history videos! I'm planning to do a rafting trip starting at the Abitibi river in Ontario(where i live) and work my way up to Hudson's bay..hopefully for 2018 ...I love watching other canadian adventures people post but this is double awesome becuase your on a historic HBC trial!!good luck out there!

[@Nerding4Nature]

Thanks! Your trip sounds pretty amazing!

[@uptrail7169]

Awesome video Carley! I enjoyed watching your backpacking trip video.

[@Nerding4Nature]

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@NathansFerroceriumrods1]

Awesome scenery. Love the views.

[@TimWatsonOutdoors]

Quite the epic hike. I enjoyed the scenic pooper. 😂 I'll admit to having to continually google the km to miles conversion to get an idea of distance.

[@Nerding4Nature]

Hmmm...I should perhaps consider putting both in. Saying it in just kms makes it sound further though :D

[@uptrail7169]

I do the same all of the time!!! Actually I'll have to google km to miles now. lol

[@TheWeekendHiker]

Keep fighting the good fight. Beautiful trails, it was nice to see the. -ATB Adam

[@Nerding4Nature]

Thanks Adam!

[@ZachByrd]

Not trying to rush my children growing older but I do anticipate the day my son is old enough for us to go camping as a family. And more damn litterbugs I see. Can't go anywhere without seeing trash. Makes me sick.

[@Nerding4Nature]

I don't even have kids yet, and I'm already looking forward to them being big enough for outdoor adventuring. lol. How old are yours?

[@ZachByrd]

The Last Grownup in the Woods my daughter is 7 and my son is 3. I could probably turn my daughter loose in the wild and she'd find a way. My son on the other hand, he's stuck in t-rex mode 65% of the time and has a soft heart that easily frightened by darkness and night noises ha.

[@Nerding4Nature]

T-Rexes are notoriously scared of the dark :D

[@rialobran]

Everything about this video was nuts, you're nuts (in a nice way) Peanuts (which aren't 'true nuts') Nuts in bars (not 'pub' bars) and lastly the views were the dogs nu.......I'll leave it there. Brilliant video :)

[@Nerding4Nature]

lol. Thanks.

[@silencenhikes6692]

Yeah subsrcibed want to see more hikes in our area. Check out mine.
