WINTER STORM - Snow Tent Camping Solo

[@Levi_Allen]

So many great questions from this video! and a lot of concerns: I set the record straight in my latest upload: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5LOYml3lLZngcU - also here is my latest winter camping video without a tent! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYLNlpSphsSjnc0

JUST CURIOUS: How are you filming yourself on your motorcycle…separated and from behind? I don’t see any extended rod or arm. Surely this is not a drone (what do I know?). Not important but I really enjoyed this journey (albeit vicarious). You are a splendid storyteller and videographer!

One of my close friends from high school died trying to solo summit a mountain (Mt. Baldy). He had just gotten accepted into MIT and had his whole life in front of him. So I've never had the guts to solo hike and summit a mountain myself. But thanks to people like you who film and share their amazing experiences doing it, I still get to see what it's like. What an unreal video.

[@Levi_Allen]

Solo experiences in complex terrain have an incredibly high risk factor. Sorry for the loss of your friend! If you still want to give it a go I’d recommend finding a local area that you are familiar with, the terrain is what could be defined as “simple” and obviously taking a friend is always a good call too : )

[@jackiecole948]

Thanks for this. Mt Cheam was the one that got away. I lived in Chilliwack for two summers decades ago when I was your age. I hiked everywhere I could.... but Mt. Cheam never happened for all the reasons you mentioned. I am now a 50 year old disabled person who can only walk 10 minutes at a go . I am so grateful I got to the top of every mountain I could and hiked like crazy with my kids when they were young. Visibility at the top is nice - but not essential. My three best hikes with no view from the top were; The Twin Sister (Vancouver), Snowdon (Wales), Croagh Patrick (Ireland), and somehow they are even more special because they retain some mystery and kept some secrets from me :-). I actually started to cry when I saw this video because....you gave me a chance to get to the top. If only as a witness. Keep pushing yourself. My suggestions for a long cold night in a tent by yourself are knitting and tarot cards. Both are light and can be fast or take a long time. May you have many more peaks alone and even more with the best of those in your world.

[@CreatedByNoriElan]

Wonderful message. I'm so glad you have those. Some memories, such as those you've mentioned are vital and very heartwarming! Be safe.

[@hanknmosul]

I did two years in the infantry in Alaska, and something i always did (I was taught to do) was put your boots inside your sleeping bag, down by your feet. It's a little uncomfortable at first, but after your body heat warms them, it evaporates any moisture inside them, and they are warm and dry when you put them on in the morning. Then you can do the whole next day with dry comfortable boots. Also, if you have to work with numb hands or feet, I've found you will be paying the price as you age. Hands and feet will get cold (and numb) easier and you then have to compensate and get warm earlier than before, to be functional. I wouldn't change anything though. The inchworms in Alaska tundra make the evening interesting..the mosquitos, not a fun thing. The tundra makes excellent mattresses/pillows. Keep a buddy between you and the Brown bears.

[@DaliborSaula]

The respect I have for this, that every time he walks away in the video, he leaves the camera there, hikes, comes back, packs the camera and off he goes again. Phenomenal. Love the dedication Levi. P.s. also ordered a bloody container to store my crap in and use as a shed/workshop

Good stuff, Challenge makes us grow. Side note: I’ve found boiling some water with the jet boil and filling a Nalgene bottle, then stuffing the Nalgene in the bottom of your sleeping bag, helps keep your feet warm and provides water to drink in the morning. When everything else is frozen :)

[@Sillisify]

One of the reasons i love Nalgene bottles, handles the heat so well. Also, putting a plastic bag over your feets before you head out, specially when it's colder outside. This is to hold in the moisture, so it doesn't freeze your toes before you get to camp

[@jurajkotian1]

​@@Levi_Allen Do I see correctly (in minute 23:00) that you used UberLite sleeping pad ONLY? That has been very hazardous for the snowy conditions as it provides very low R value (even for autumn season) and deflates in low temperatures. You should definitely upgrade for a proper winter sleeping pad or combined your UberLite with closed-cells foam pad.

Living in Oklahoma, it's never about cold or snow. It's all about the wind. I once did some summer camping out by Canton Lake. I stayed in a campsite behind the dam. The campsites were full of tall trees that stuck above the height of the dam and the rustling of the leaves would keep you awake all night long even though there was no wind at your level. I tried a little biking while I was there but it was hard as you had to lean at nearly a 45 in order not to fall over.

[@bryllejarabe3618]

Its crazy putting the camera down, take a shot while driving, walking, and picking it back. Thats real effort right there

[@real_yankee2493]

the moment where he zipped up the tent after the long windy night, just to be met with that view. Really impressed that he stayed pretty positive and cool headed (=

[@desertegle40cal]

Ok Levi, Spill it.. How are you getting those shots? You had a shot like someone was following you. Then you have like i dunno 5 setup shots that recorded your arrivals to different places. So if you doing this all alone, that means that shot where it looked like you were being recorded from a mile away meant you had to go set that shot up yourself. Meaning you drove a mile, set up a camera and then drove back a mile so it looked like you were arriving to that area.. Dude if thats what you are doing then friggin hats off do you for your production value man! It aint no joke! But i ask you this. Off topic. Ever wondered why natural beauty can be so shocking? Good lord those shots were giving me goosebumps! You never really appreciate stuff like that till your older and you realize how rare and precious it all is. Great stuff bud!!

Awesome vid brother! Back in the UK now, but spent a few years living in BC up until 2019 and watching with my cat (also an ex BC resident who came over with us, learnt to speak raccoon and then travelled back here) reminded me of how tough but rewarding real outdoors can be. The little bit of me that will always remain BC just got a treat from your vid. Thank you.

Epic adventure Levi! You showed good strength in some pretty severe conditions. Glad to see you had the SPOT. When I saw you heading off in the Moto boots I was thinking to myself "Oh no his feet are going to get torn to pieces".

Way to go Levi, take a book. I loved finding your channel and wish to see your USA West Coast vibes...

[@modwrath810]

Your honesty was absolutely Brutal. Thank You, when I read your opening statement I said to myself " Damn, I am gonna watch this dude ". Your mind is a rare artifact of creation. You spoke what you felt in that moment in that time and did not care what anybody else thought about it. outside of them hoping that they felt the same way as you did and do. Get outside and take a risk but know the boundaries to such things and own ownership if it goes wrong. I mean come on, Hardly anybody anywhere does that anymore. I have watched countless and I mean as in I got some of the best internet capabilities on the planet , I have watched , wow, a lot to the 10th power and probably even more than that videos on this kinda stuff. a longing to go back in time to my youth, where I belonged to the country and not cooped up in a town of 26,000 . I deeply truly hate this retched place. Every night when I lay down. I am under a tree or sitting on the back of my 4 wheeler looking up at the stars and moon, camping on a spur of notice on the river bottom. No rhyme or reason for it than I could and did. With every fiber of my being I hear that cry, Come back to me, The country, the outdoors. I miss it, I long for it. Anyways, my point to this over drawn masterpiece is this. You reached me. Not Les Stroud, and that's tough to do. all these bush craft you tubers. Not Les, he owns his shit. like you do, like me, like I hope a lot of us do. So many of them say and bla bla bla, there is always a what if moment but they keep just a hint of a way out of wasn't me . Failing to admit a conscious made choice of action by themselves inevitably to do or not do.. Own What You Did Wrong ! And what I have done wrong is to allow myself to wake up go to work to come home to make excuses to myself why not to do something just cause I spent 8 hours doing something .To lay down and go to bed to wish for that moment , that second of time , even if for only that moment, say, I am back and I have missed you too. To only wake up, and repeat over and over. When all I have to do is stop making excuses for all the trivial reasons why not to. ( That is my Wrong and I Own it. ) Thank You for your truth spoken words in the manor and calmness to wish you expressed yourself . You got to your Mountain Top and I will get back to my country and have that moment for me, for myself, for my own self worth . And when I do Levi, I will sit there around that fire and with my can of Mnt Dew and toast you and Thank You for a Kick in my ASS.

I remember hiking a 3400m tall summit with my high school friends. It was absolute misery with unforecasted storm rolling in. Freezing our balls from the cold and the wind. Numbing my whole left leg to the point touching it feels painful. It was worth the experience doing hike and pushing myself. But as i got older and finally not having enough time to hike again, watching your video tingled my memory. Great work man, you motivated me to at least make time to hike again, hopefully soon!

You said in in the video that one of your big goals in making videos is to get people to get outside more and I want you to know you are 100% accomplishing that.
