Best advice for camping in griz country is to set up your tent about 100 yards away from your cooking/chilling, eating fire area. It seems alot of folks opt to just cook their food away the site which donesn't make much sense to me. I guess it's better than nothing.
As someone who's done both the PCT and AT, I'd say the AT is overall harder. The PCT has individual moments that are way more difficult than the AT (snowy headwall traverses, altitude, potential wildfire smoke, and long food/water carries), but the AT is just always beating you up. You are never free from either rain, humidity, bugs, or brutally steep climbs. More of a slow burn. The PCT on the contrary has a lot of sunny days and much easier terrain on average. Most people I've met that have done both the PCT and the CDT and are finishing their triple crown on the AT are pretty miserable lol. I for one found things I did like about the AT. The community is a bit stronger on that trail. That being said, I'll never hike the AT again. Id do the PCT again though.
The PCT is graded as a horse trail. Despite being much longer than the AT it has much less total elevation gain. Something like 500k ft for the AT vs 300k ft for the PCT.
I did a similar hike, it was rough. We spent 3 days in there getting up to the summit of Jefferson and back. I know at some point we were on the Six Husbands Trail, don't remember exactly the route, it was 20 years ago. We had never been hiking before and underestimated how Intense it was. So worth it though, so beautiful in there. The Great Gulf Wilderness is amazing.
That yellow metal tag on the tree is called a K tag. With a map that shows “legal locations”, (section, township, and range as found on USFS , state maps, etc) you can find your location. Before GPS, this was the only way to find your location. Used them and relied on them for years! And I would love to see Chomps make a meat stick out of beef and salt! No seasonings, nothing but meat and salt. Pepper would be fine too. 😊 Thanks for showing off our beautiful state!
My ex wife had a cousin (Stephen Zabek) that went camping up there and the wind knocked him off the boulder he was standing on and he fell to his death. That was back in 2003.
Definitely another great one in the books! The fires out that way are really bad watched frozens pct thru hike this year while he was doing it and he had to reroute a bunch of times! He ran into Kyle while he was out there! Definitely looks beautiful out there! From all the footage I have watched it looked like the pct was harder then the at. Not really sure about the cdt haven’t watched much of that! The sierras looked pretty tough on the pct! The only trail I have experienced is the Ice Age Trail! Glad to see another video only until next time!
What is it with all these fires here lately.. all this is new , we've never had so many fires like this in the past.. whats yr take on it ?? My theory is " intentional " 😢 for reasons concerning the Government.
1:53:52 Gandalf: Always remember Bilbo, when your heart wants lifting, think of pleasant things... Bilbo: Eggs and bacon. A good, full pipe. My garden at twilight. ...oh, and cheeseburger time!
Chomps should make a Hawaiian meat stick ,with tiny bits of pineapple in it. Mt.hood has endless bigfoot encounters reported by people. I would definitely be on edge sleeping up there alone.
Already one of my favorite videos that you have made! I'm glad the glowing eyes didn't cause you a problem. Beautiful scenery and filming. You do the best narration of backpacking videos. Are you going to make it to the cabin for deer season? Might be a lot of fun with the 2 recently turned 50 members of the cabin gang! Ron
I live in Oregon and at about the time 17:00 into this if you look at ground around you you would see the STICK TALK that these bigfoot beings leave. I know this I have been on that trail and have pictures of our forest friends. They are all around you at this time you must have felt them.
