It’s absolutely criminal that you don’t have more subs and views. I follow so many running channels and watch so much running content and it took forever for you to come into the algorithm. I really hope that changes soon because the content you create is definitely up there with some of the better channels on here.

Your videos are like mini movies. The care and attention that goes into each one is insane. I know a bit about video editing and the amount of time it must take to create each of these blows my mind. I've got to think each one of these takes 60 - 120 hours of editing, and that doesn't even count the time it takes to organize and consolidate the footage from all of your devices. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to CA, in the early-mid summer not only you have snow in the Sierras, but the weather can change in a whim bringing windy thunder showers, be prepared, no cotton stuffs!

Really nice work: the footage and also the fact that you told it as it was. Sometimes things don't go to plan and being agile in the mountains is key; the fact you guys re-planned as new information (amount of snow, speed, lack of calories, tiredness) etc. surfaced was excellent. The film displays good outdoor skills and choices, so thank-you! Hopefully people watching this will learn some lessons (i.e. even though you downloaded the map onto your GPS watch, you brought good old maps and compasses and new how to use them, just in case!).

Double time, you Canucks are very impressive in your athletic hiking. Sorry you had to deal with the snow in a time of year where it should have melted but California is experiencing extreme drought now, so I guess we should be grateful when we have an extended snow season. Still all in all, nice to see Tahoe from a hiking perspective. Thanks for sharing.

I got lucky with the lack of snow and smoke. I also did this as training for an upcoming multi-day race (Bigfoot 200).

When I have wet socks and have my off shift in the bunk time and in my sleeping bag (it happens 🙂 ) I take off my socks and put them in the bag not on my feet but in the bag often they dry in the bag of the body heat in 2 hours. Keep up the good work.

I know a lot of the business still want you in town but the city Govt. is trying to keep Covid out as much as possible. Im just going to find a place to park my van and only hit town for resupply and gas. Mammoth has great fishing , hiking, trail running and one of the most beautiful running tracks on the planet. Who knows maybe Ill run into Tim Tollefson....its happened before. Stay safe up your way and I look forward to seeing more of your adventures...

also amazing, is one of the guys has a pack with a waist belt. No way can I run with pressure on the stomach like that, and I'm guessing thats why running vest packs are strapped around the chest like the other guy. Even shorts with a waist too tight for running can cause me trouble (tho same shorts are ok for yoga or wearing).

Incredible video, Jeff! Well shot, well edited, well narrated, truly fantastic! Honest question for someone interested in getting into fastpacking... how much of the time did you hike vs run? I'm having trouble adjusting to the load on the uphills, it feels like only the downs and flats do I come close to something approximating "running".
@JeffPelletier
@JeffPelletier 4 жыл бұрын
Thanks! They say fastpacking is "hiking the ups, running the downs, and jogging the flats". So it sounds like you're doing just fine. Just try to keep your pack weight as low as possible and to use poles which really help on the climbs. For the TRT, we had a hard time even running the flats with all of the snow which is one way we really lost time - normally this trail is quite runnable.

Thank you for sharing your amazing journey . Lots of planning and preparation. Is mid-October still a good time to do this ? I mean , if there are storms , you’re always pretty close to civilization to bail . I think lol .
@JeffPelletier
@JeffPelletier 4 жыл бұрын
Hey Joseph, I’m not sure about October - that’s probably a question for a local. Like you say, there are lots of bailout options but definitely a few stretches where you’re pretty remote so of course just make sure you’re prepared for the worst.

October usually can get pretty hairy. You don't want to have to bail in the middle of a long section like Barker to Echo. mid September in my opinion is the best time to go, although you will need to pack more water than usual, as most snow has melted and winter weather hasn't come in yet.

Strong effort but Sierra snow in a big year is legit July or no July. Just imagine what that through hiker was dealing with a month before you guys in June on passes to 13k in the Southern Sierra. The Northern Sierra are the baby mountains....:)

I use the Suunto Baro 9. You can get over 100 hours of activity, depending on the accuracy.

How many miles per week do you do to train for a fast pack like this?
@JeffPelletier
@JeffPelletier Жыл бұрын
I probably would have been averaging about 60-70 miles per week leading up to this, with a fair bit of elevation gain.

Why bother with the fastpack set up if you're only doing around 30 miles per day? That's like, middle of the road UL backpacker milage.
@JeffPelletier
@JeffPelletier 4 жыл бұрын
It’s a valid question. I’m not sure fastpacking is all that different from any other ultralight approach though. We just like to jog the flats and run the downs when we can.
