I bought this bag in a size Large as I'm just over 6ft and I have the same issue as you with the bag sitting too low when fully loaded, I'm going to order size small because I noticed medium drops too low for you, I think I'll have the same issue with the mediums well. Super useful video as you've helped me find the correct size, thank you. subbed.

nice video! question, Do you hike down the same trail you came up? I saw some videos where they mention a different descending trail to avoid congestion. if so is it rocky going down? im climbing in july and was wondering about the difficulty on the rocky parts.

Nice to see that you're living a very good life!👍

I enjoyed following your climb and commentary from the comfort of my chair. I climbed Fuji san at night back in 1996 from the Fujinomiya trail and luckily we had good weather although the temperature severely dropped at night. The view of the sunrise and the five lakes from the summit was awesome and have been lodged deep into my brain for all these years. I'm in my mid 60s now and my mountain climbing days are behind me now, but the spirit of Fuji san will remain in my heart forever. I hope that you can return to Japan again and experience climbing Mt.Fuji during better weather someday. Cheers and happy new year.🗻

Great video. I hope to climb Fuji in 2025.

Wow! Impressive gear room...very organized!

I'm only getting audio coming through in my left ear on my headphones

I own the Men's version of this backpack...it's one of the most all-around finest Daypacks I have ever owned. It is my "go-to" hiking Daypack. It's true that the Scree 32 is on the larger range of capacity for a Daypack...it shines by being a Daypack, but also large enough that if you had to make a planned, or unplanned, overnight camp...there is room in the pack to add in some extra gear for that. I do agree it may not afford enough room for a dead of winter overnight set of gear...but Spring, Summer, Autumn - no problem. Have you had a look at the Mystery Ranch Catalyst 26-liter? It is more streamlined on the exterior though, but an awesome Daypack for Urban / Travel / EDC...I also own one of those and that will be my intended use for it. Once I discovered Mystery Ranch, I never purchased a backpack from anyone else. The Scree 33 WAS re-designed catering more specifically to the Alpine climbing community, so the Scree 33 is no longer the great overall Daypack that the Scree 32 was. You can still find some Scree 32 packs on the 3rd party market, often discounted. Most all of my Mystery Ranch backpacks I was able to purchase 20% - 25% discounted.

Cool video thanks. The most critical thing about tying a kayak to the roof of a car is bow and stern tie. The sides don't even matter. To tie where there is no tie point, tie a big knot in the rope and capture this by closing the hatch or the trunk lid. A better way would be to tie a knot around something like a stick that won't pull out. Trail runners would be good. When we were doing dinghy 'ops' in the Bahamas I brought along my hiking shoes (bigger trail runners). I got some flak because "Everyone just wears flip flops.' But after a few more involved hikes. Bring a small towel so you can dry off your feet or brush the sand off. I just used my socks. Keep them in a dry bag or a trash bag and your toes will be happy. And never forget to put sunscreen on the tops of your feet. For fears heights, spiders etc... I find learning really helps. I learned all about black widows and stopped jerking around. For heights remember Three Points of Contact. Once I learned to always make sure I had that covered I felt a lot better. In Japan I was working my way along the Dikiretto in Kamakochi. I took a photo between my legs but it really didn't capture the several hundred feet below my butt. When I was back at my teaching job in Los Angeles I would look up at the 25 story building next to the school yard and laugh. No way would I lean off the top of that, except that's exactly what I was doing in Japan. Except much higher. And of course climbing down is always more dangerous.

Sandals? You hike that terrain in sandals? We put our hiking boots in plastic bags. Made the hike way easier.

That was a tough climb in sandals,good job.dont worry about overcoming ya fear of heights,just control it.

Nice video! I’m doing the same thing this upcoming winter; oh and you should wear sunglasses, so much UV reflection from the snow

Very scenic! 😊👍👏🏻🙏🏻

I didn't get to the mountains this fall you're videos help ease the pain.

Very nice!!! You did a great job capturing the beauty of the Cades Cove area...👍👏🏻

I had to really squeeze through there 😂

Cool video!

This video was spectacular! You did a great job capturing the beauty of fall in the Smokies! Thank you!😊👍👏🏻🙏🏻

Awesome

Beautiful film my friend, thumbnail is amazing as well! 🥾🥾

Beautiful nature, thanks for sharing.

you should get a Tenkara fishing outfit to use on those small streams you cross,

Beautiful vid!!!👍👏🏻👏🏻

Spectacular waterfalls. Gotta check this lake out. Thanks for sharing.

This is SO AWESOME!! I just got into paddle boarding over the summer and I love it! I've paddled all around my local spots, but as with mountain biking and kayaking, I've been wanting to plan more destination trips to branch out and see more. I would love to also SUP places like this with all those waterfalls - I'm definitely adding this place to my must-do list! Thanks for sharing your adventures!!

You always find beautiful places to visit.i gotta get out more often.thanks for showing these places.

I think spraying the surface with soap solution akin to applying invis would be good for repositioning

Love the views 😍

Love the color of the water ❤️glad you are going safely 😉

We hiked Mt. Lyn Lowry up to the cross in July. I’m wondering how the area faired in the flooding? How about Waynesville and Sylva?

more mushroom pics please!

Great video, n thanks for no music but waves sound. River did not look crowded, so was this a weekday trip? I plan to try this at NOC soon

Sweet ride my friend! Leaving a sub. You'll be a 1k in no time!

Ive been to Dupont but never that trail i really should get out there again ! keep up the good work yo !

Another good one is hansons point. Maybe a few mile hike to greet there but has a way better view with less people

The smokys are my second home

Love this hike

Thanks for this video❤

I’m going here today!

Isn’t that the tunnel that transports you to digital world in digimon survive. Or At least the game based it off that one… sorry I’m wording it weird it’s early in morning for me

How long did it take you to complete the right loop? I'll be riding this at the end of Sep.

Back in the mid 1980s I went fly fishing on Hazel Creek with friends, hiking miles up along it. On the 3rd day I walked back to Proctor to meet some other fisherman who were going to join us so I could lead them back to where the rest of us were camped. While waiting for them to arrive, a forest service pontoon boat pulled up with a couple in their mid 50's and one in their 80's. The older couple were the parents of the younger woman and had lived in Proctor before it was flooded. The older lady took me on a short walk around and pointed out things you'd never notice on your own. Such as where the town's baseball field had been. She pointed out how all the trees where the field once was were much smaller in diameter then the rest of the woods, obviously because there hadn't been any trees when they played ball there. She pointed out where the first base dugout had been, and said that's where her husband had proposed to her. :-) It was obviously a very memorable time for me!

Ya got to go….its amazing. Follow your dreams😊

Spoon?

Nice video and great flow on those two trails.

Thanks for documenting this one. We did Profile to Calloway a few weeks ago. Don't think I have Attic Window or MacRae in me. The exposure seems too much. If you want to see the plane crash, try Daniel Boone Scout from the Boone Fork parking lot off the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Breathtaking

Just an incredible view. ❤❤❤

Well done

Great finds. We just got rain so we might have mushrooms in the next couple of days
