Too Hot To Hike

Подписаться 784

I was invited along on a three day backpacking trip by my friend Chuck Dunning near the last of May 2024. Sadly, we both knew this was probably the last multi day trip of the season before the extreme heat of the Texas summer arrived. Temperatures were already reaching into the low 90’s with 90% humidity. We were just two senior backpackers out for a stroll. I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching!

You have to hike when you have the time, cold, hot, windy. Bring it on.😅

@tangenttrails 4 месяца назад

True that! lol

@currentlyseekingsummits 4 месяца назад

Looks like a nice little hike, despite the heat! Actually thought of your channel this week driving through Alvord and Decatur and seeing the signs for the Grasslands! Keep the videos coming!

Thank you! We had a fine time. Thanks for watching!

Nice trip and meetup. Hot day it seemed. Cool footage of the bee. I liked your camp spot for the night. I'd filter out of that water before I did a stock tank. Good call on hiking in the dark to beat the heat. Heat is our Kryptonite! Nice to see all the flowers. I'm still waiting for the snow storms to stop and the snow to melt in the high country. Nice job on surviving the heat and completing the trip. Have a great day.

Thank you! It's been a great season for the wildflowers with the tremendous amount of rain that north Texas has received. The heat. I'm afraid it's gonna be another rough summer here. I'm ready to head to the Rockies. lol. I sure have enjoyed your spring break trip videos. Best wishes to y'all! ✌

That was a great three day hike. I can't imagine hiking in 90f+ heat. If it gets over 70f on this side of the pond, I melt. It is certainly great to spend time with a friend. I love the hike in the lower temps and chill out in the afternoon. Great tactics. I've really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! The 90° heat is rough and it’ll be getting into the 100° range in a month. I’ll be ready to head to the Rockies and the cooler temperatures in the high country. Thank you for watching!

I'm sweating just watching this! 🤣 Nice looking grassland. Great capture on that hummingbird hawk moth.

It was warm for sure. lol. Thanks for watching!

We are not fans of hot weather hiking. Usually try to go north or high elevations during the hot months of the year. That breeze sounds really nice and IM sure refreshing for you guys. I keep a mosquito net with me when I hike, sometimes they just get too annoying! We also use some of the horse trails in our area , usually cleared out pretty good . Thanks for sharing North Texas!

@tangenttrails 4 месяца назад

My multi day overnights are pretty much over for the summer. Just too hot. Time to head to the Rockies soon for me. Thanks for watching!

@BackpackingWithJason 3 месяца назад

I like the views around the pond. Those hot days I like bringing a little fan. Nice trip and scenery

@tangenttrails 3 месяца назад

I definitely could have used a fan. I can handle the heat but that humidity…😔

@bubbalovesoatmealadventure108 4 месяца назад

Dew Ewe have an estimated daily milage for the CT? I am thinking 16 or so...but I never did a thru hike so who knows.

@tangenttrails 4 месяца назад

At least 16 is my minimum and build up to more if possible. I'm slow rolling the trail and do not have a set deadline to finish.

@Hike-ALOT 4 месяца назад

Yeah it’s getting to that time of year in Texas. Last weekend I made what may be my last overnighter for a bit…..at least around here. Enjoy gents.

@tangenttrails 4 месяца назад

Yep. I’ll keep doing full pack morning hikes to stay on shape and then head to Colorado for cooler altitudes.

@tridudyonthetrail 4 месяца назад

Man, that pizza!! Looked amazing! Definitely need to check that one out! Definitely a warm one! But man, those grasslands are really beautiful! Thanks for bringing us along!

@tangenttrails 4 месяца назад

It smells and tastes just like a pizza! It’s one of my 3 favorite Packit Gourmet meals with the other two being the All American Burger and the Big ‘un Burrito. The Grassland is truly a gem! Thanks for stopping by Mark!✌️

Oof that's hot. I dig your Xero Z Trail sandals. I wear the Xero Colorado almost everyday for work on hard concrete/pavement. I have a pair of Aqua Clouds as well but I don't particularly like the toe-thong style of sandals. Your tent looks awesome.

@tangenttrails 4 месяца назад

Thanks, I'm really digging the Off Set Solo tent. I can take the dry heat. When the humidity starts reaching 90%, that's what I'm not used to. lol. I've tried a lot of camp shoes, but the Zero Z's I've had the longest. Thanks for watching!✌

@theweldonator 4 месяца назад

Yes sir, the thermostat is already being turned up little by little. Can't wait to see you do the Colorado Trail.

@tangenttrails 4 месяца назад

Yep. Only early morning day hikes for me until Colorado. lol.✌️

Beautiful prairie areas early cool morning and good napping. Best way to handle Texan backpacking. Good seeing you guys. I’ll go in the fall

@tangenttrails 4 месяца назад

Thanks Liz! Looks like you had a blast at trail days. I too will be back in the fall. But first, it’s on to Colorado! Thanks for watching!✌️

@@lizstrailsandtravels4624 Have you seen that the LSHT and national forest are under a two year closure? Very sad.

@lizstrailsandtravels4624 4 месяца назад

Wow I knew about the closure but did not know how long. That is so sad it’s my closest to home trail. Flooding was just terrible. Very sad

@hikingwithjackieboy 4 месяца назад

Another great hike. It has gotten way too hot to hike now. The last few days, it's been over 100° here in South Texas.

@tangenttrails 4 месяца назад

And the humidity is just crazy! Looks like we're in for a couple of more bumpy days ahead with storms and rain. Cheers!

@21Swayzee Месяц назад

Way to rock out the heat in N. Texas! At 90 plus, morning time would be the only time I could rock it! Always nice to spend some time outdoors with a friend!

@tangenttrails 26 дней назад

It’s definitely best to get where you’re going early. Thanks for watching!
