I love these videos. I know it’s not your guy’s intention with this series, but I learn a lot about traveling in the backcountry from watching. The reverence you hold for it and the pace at which you move. It’s taught me to stop, observe, and appreciate. Thanks for these! Blessings
Designing gear is cool and all, it's nice to make a living selling it, but the part I truly care about is giving people the opportunity and inspiration to re-connect with the natural world. That's what the field and longhouse videos are for, and it's always gratifying to know when I'm hitting that mark. Thank you for taking the time to let me know.
Great video, Evan...as always. A really skilled tracker could age those bear prints across the snow pack, which is an impressive skill. Thanks for taking us along.
Wonderful trip Evan. I've hung out at an active beaver pond once. Amazing to watch them do their thing. What free standing floorless shelter were you running? Looks different than the Utopia you usually run for trips like this. Nate
Borrowed from Scot - it's a four season tent pitched without the inner tent. Won't make the cut for me because it's too heavy for 1 and I really don't like the clips. Might be my first choice for 2 people.
@@journeyman7189 4 seasons of the year really. I'm thinking about going back to a Chouinard Megamid style of shelter but really what I need to do is bite the bullet and design my own freestanding floorless.
@@HillPeopleGear I would second that!. My only gripe about the summer season with an open shelter is the bug pressure unless a light bug bivy were something that could be added in with not to much of a weight penalty. I think Seek Outside has the right idea with their Silex with stove jack and bug inner. Great weight and adaptable to all seasons but not free standing. So close.
@@journeyman7189 do you find the problem to be bugs from the air, from the ground, or both? What part of the world do you typically spend your outdoor time?
