I did this hike with my daughter and her boyfriend june 15-20 2023 east to west thru hike. We got nailed with bugs really bad! 🦟😱 I’m surprised at how much everything was grown up just alittle over a month from this video. This year june 15-21 2024 we did isle royal around 50 miles. seen two moose 🫎 lots of fox 🦊 one wolf 🐺 Got rained on two different days-nights ( pretty bad thunderstorm one night ) Bugs were just as bad as pictured rocks.. but add in black biting flys. Super beautiful island.. if i could sum it up in two words ~ Beautifully unforgiving. I think next hike is gonna be near the end of summer.. to avoid bugs 😆

does your quilt has 850FP or 950FP down type? do you a draft collar on it? when you say 20 degree you mean fahrenheit (or celsius)? thanks alot (( when will be available the 50L framed pack from Evolved supply co? is there a way to pay less customs fees if buying from Europe? thanks again)) 🤙

My quite uses 950 down with the draft collar. Yes, it's rated to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. We are working on the 50L pack but it won't be available until later this year. Unfortunately when it comes to customs fees we have zero say or control over what is charged and it varies from country to country. Cheers!

nice im looking forward to it. do you have experience with wolfs and foxes during your thruhikes, especially during the night? online i find people advising to eat and hang the food on a tree at least 100ft from the tent, also wanted to ask you how you deal with ticks wearing all the time running shorts except using a spray repellent. thanks. greetings from italy

@@OQULTO I have some experience with both wolves and foxes but no real issues. You just encounter them sometimes on trail or at night but they usually keep their distance. I treat all my clothes in Permethrin for tick prevention and when necessary I use Picardin lotion which keeps ticks, flies, and mosquitoes at bay. The lotion lasts around 12 hours too which is great!

Guess, you are not a "near" daily vlogger. You are not a frequent vlogger, I guess I will look forward to your summary videos. However, I'm really enjoying the "frequent" vloggers(Lil Chap, Hiker Dancer, Heard Hiker, Fought on foot...etc.). Those vid's on the PCT really "takes us there" on the trail. Especially, for Angelenos and West coasters. Our weather is your trail weather, and it's amazing when caught on video. Not hating on "after the fact" vids, but it's just not the same.

You could not fit a normal sized bear canister into that backpack. I also doubt that food for a week would fit, even if it is empty. Through-hiking with a pack smaller than a daypack does not seem like a rational choice.
@juicehikes54363 ай бұрын
The Ranger is a 45L pack with plenty of room if your gear is dialed in. I had 5 days of food and full comfort items with room to spare. Lots of people carry smaller packs than this on thru hikes. It fits a BV450 on the inside and you can attach a larger bear can on the top. There are only a few places in the US that it’s necessary to carry a bear can so that’s not much of a concern. Pretty rational choice for a pack as far as I’m concerned.

I used Garmins for over a decade (both the Fenix and Forerunner) and just recently switched to the Apple Watch Ultra. They both have their drawbacks, battery life being one of them for the Apple Watch. As an everyday smart watch though the Apple Watch is just better. If I was hiking for 3-4 months straight and the main purpose was only to track activities I would probably opt for the Garmin with significantly better battery.

Great video Very well documented. My wife and I did EBC several years ago and it was by far the best trek we have done (also did Kilimanjaro and Inca Trail to MP). I don't know how you stayed warm enough with shorts and sun hoodie. I had base layer and long pants on the bottom, and wool base layer, fleece, and down jacket on top on the final morning. It was COLD until the sun came out and then we shed the layers. I'm glad you enjoyed the trek. I enjoyed the video.
