Oh my goodness I am so blessed and so thankful to all the volunteers rangers and backpackers like you guys that take care of the places we hike. I've said it many times, you can hike for weeks in the Sierras and never find a piece of trash...certainly not a piece intentionally left. It's such a pleasure to have a place thats just too much trouble for people like those that would leave their trash to get to. thanks for doing your (and their) part.

Bryce, that windshirt was a life saver. Mine is my most often worn piece of clothing on trail, aside from compression shorts (to minimize chaffing) and my zip-off pants. I often wear it on cool summer mornings on its own as a shirt. I'm surprised at how many distance hikers don't want to carry that extra 2-6 ozs. of weight, forcing them to sweat their arses off to defend against biting insects, or bathe themselves in Deet or Picardin. I even carry bug pants in the summer to wear over my shorts, and, yes, a bug jacket and headnet, too! Not ultralight, but worth every ounce for the sake of sanity! Thanks for the video. I hiked the AT Triple Crown three years ago in the fall. The colors of the leaves added to the beauty. 👍👍
@juketreks21923 жыл бұрын
The secret to not chaffing......those smell good liquid soaps. No lie. I haven’t chaffed since they came out (10+ years). Reduces friction to zero.

Another great video Bryce. I will definitely take the trail trash advice to heart, and start picking up a few pieces. I'll admit that I've passed up litter because I've always felt that it was too overwhelming to take it all. I never considered that it got there incrementally and can be cleaned up incrementally as well.
