This episode covers the start of the trek from the parking lot to David Lake, 44kms from the trailhead with just 2 hours of sleep. Not the smartest plan. See how we fare.

I fell behind on my KZfaq homework. I’m finally getting back after it. I so enjoy your videos. The scenes in this park are just absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I need right now. I’m tired of watching the news and learning about current events I want to see nature. Thank you so much David

I’m not a hiker, but I bushwhack in the fall so I know this trek was quite the undertaking! Looked like a tough one David 👍

Nice! Yeah, that would be a good pace. When I first did it in the mid-nineties, I think we did it in 6 days. A bit slow and with heavy packs. Ultralight definitely was not in the equation then! 😄 Awesome, thanks for your support!

I was thinking about a certain type of gloves, used over your socks, that might have kept your feet and lower legs dry for the creek crossing at 16:02, ha ha, if you know what I mean. (Think McCrae Lake near the Narrows and your gift, LOL. )

This looks like a great adventure! I have one question.. are the trails well marked or do you have to follow a topo map to guide yourself? I plan on doing this trip myself.
@ThePursuitofPassion
@ThePursuitofPassion Жыл бұрын
That's awesome Andrea! Highly recommended. The trails are pretty well marked. In the rocky sections you'll have to look for cairns, but otherwise pretty straightforward to follow. But definitely get a trail map from the patk office and get any trail updates before you head out from staff. Good luck!

@ThePursuitofPassion 3 жыл бұрын
Thank you. There actually is no info about distance between campsites, in general. You have to calculate this based on the scale of the map you have. However, there was one map (that isn't available anymore) that did, called Jeff's map. Hope this helps!

@@ThePursuitofPassion Yes, we just booked yesterday. Last year's was canceled, so we're hoping that doesn't happen again. We leave May 6, 2022. So based on your experience, it looks like we can expect some snowy spots and a number of swollen water crossings. Thanks again for the helpful video, and for responding!

Oh ... one other question: Bugs: Were there any? What kind(s)? Were they lazy or active?
@ThePursuitofPassion
@ThePursuitofPassion 2 жыл бұрын
As to bugs, we didn't have any issue with them at all. But I would say, even though you are going in early May, there is one major factor we can't control, weather. So you could have more snow and deeper crossings, or it could be a dry year. Just be ready for anything. It's that time of year where it is really hard to predict until closer to the date. Awesome, good luck!

Hi there. No, overall the GoPro 7 has been good to work with. (GoPro's often have some software glitch.) The audio is better and the stabilizer has improved a lot. If you want even better performance and don't mind spending more, go with the 8, although there are great deals on the 7 currently. Have fun!
