Solo 40 km backpack hike to Howse pass in Banff Park, Alberta. This is an abandoned fur trading route. I show tricks for making life easy in the wilderness. The trail was in such bad shape, with so much deadfall, that I had to abandon my attempt to reach the pass. Check out Brian Patton's blog on this trail at: canadianrockiestrailguide.com/... He's one of the co-authors of my favorite hiking book "The Canadian Rockies Trail Guide".
Here's my map of this trail on CalTopo: caltopo.com/m/40QB
Best part of making these video (other than the hike) is matching music. For this video I used:
1:50 Instrumental version of Madonna's "Amazing" found on KZfaq.
7:20 Instrumental version of the Tragically Hip's "Wheat King" found on KZfaq. The Hip are an amazing Canadian band from Ontario.
15:10 Instrumental version of Collective Soul's "Shine". Done by Nick Scott. He's on KZfaq as Ambonick1 ( / ambonick1 )
19:20 Instrumental version of U2's "Bad". Great song by an even greater band.
