Exploring Slough Creek / Finding Frenchy
This was a late June trip up Slough Creek. Due to peak snow melt & water crossings, our intended route was cut a bit short, but a great trip all the same.

Colorado Backpacking Trip Cut Short
มุมมอง 6385 หลายเดือนก่อน
This was intended to be a 3-4 day trip, but due to the heavy snow pack from the previous winter, we chose to cut the trip short. I was on the fence about sharing this, since we didn't complete the route we'd wanted. I really loved the scenery out here though. I'm also a strong believer in being safe on trail & making smart choices. This was a good example of us realizing that continuing on just...

This is a collection of my favorite wildlife shots, taken in Yellowstone over the handful of trips we made in 2023. These are both roadside and on trail encounters. Sorry for the shaky video in a few spots, sightings like this often go by in seconds.

Good luck to those who hike in this part of the country who only carry bear spray.
Great photography
And despite all the smack talk California is an outdoors persons paradise
Nice video bro. Thank you very much for sharing. I also like to hang out with my buddies Jack & Daniel. We have a blast while camping. And keep me warm on cold nights. Happy camping
Just found your channel and really enjoying the content! Subbed for some more. Thanks for sharing!
@@SoloSchmitty thanks so much, glad you’re enjoying it! I’ve got some pretty cool stuff I’m editing now, it’ll be another month or two before I get them out.
@@shredhiker6209 I will look forward to it! Headed to the Winds early September so I should have some new stuff out in a couple months as well.
Hey, First time watcher here. Man what a beautiful place to backpack. Nice job on capturing it. Curious to know the beginning weight of your Pack? Im heading to the Sawtooths this weekend backpacking for 5 days, Tried 2 weeks ago, got there and it was way too smokey for me, had to leave. . A real bummer. Should be ok this next attempt. I live about 4 hours away, fires all around us. Anyways I"ll be checking out all of your vids. Nice work ShredHiker.
@@robotdog3240 I was just under 40 lbs starting out on this trip, they require a bear canister out there & October is unpredictable so I packed all of my cold weather gear. Hope the Sawtooths are awesome, I’m wanting to get out there someday.
Nice video but not very nice music.
Lets go!!
Love you sitting right in front of Electric that ridge over your right shoulder is the one that ends literally at trail 👣 junction up Electric. You walk down from a few trees hit trail coming out of bear maul woods. Turn left few yards up is Electric. I like Quadrant. Electric is 22 miles or more round trip.
It's a great area for multiday. BUT can't touch the Tooth July August. Up there Beartooth you can walk straight out from pass. South side. Ridge to Spirit Mountain. The two lakes prior you can follow lake chain out. From Fire tower up top follow ridge out. Drops you right in middle. The first 180 degree bend up fire tower road has TH out into the giant bowl. The biggest meadow. Muddy Creek. Google it. It is real griz central. Big time. If with kids I carry a gun in my hands. Thats me. Worked in Yellowstone we carried in there too. 3 of us had a spray plan as primary. Alone I don't carry either.
This by far my favorite video on area. Thanks. Purple Hawaiian Punch. Nice! I put the mountain house in barrel as described. 5 to gallon bag. 3 types. I Never ever take an air mat. All have failed. 100% Polypad never fails.
This is best multiday hiking area in my view. Or going all the way down the river from upper falls to Gardiner. Beartooth is best mid July to September. The reason there are many griz is there are five types of berries or more in greater area. So if picking berries you are standing in a griz food source. Bear spray falls out easily so make sure you secure it. Especially if crossing water. Scrambling up terrain.
GREAT VIDEO.
This bear management area. Bear central. Grizzlies generally leave you alone. Or not. 😅 You cannot see them coming in rough terrain. They can outrun your dog. 35 mph or more. I am scared walking through those woods. Always. Have had numerous bears walk by me in Yellowstone. Griz. Teton too. Like him have no idea why I am still alive. That ridge he filming on looking towards Swan Lake and Bunsen. Ends literally at the trail junction up to Electric. I always take the ridge never trail through canyon and wood. Specifically because of bears. You do what you do. You cannot see anything in those woods. Every bear that walked by me close came out of a creekbed. Others 100 to 400 yards in meadows.
I always recommend Quadrant for day hikers. The first thing I see you figured out is always be able to cover your entire body. Hot cold medium smart call in wild. If cold I learned in Infantry use the rubber suit rain gear. The way it works is the top bottom are on outside pockets. As is one poncho. Army nylon. Inside is Army issue rubber nylon waterproof bag. Inside out. Nylon inside so gear goes in smooth. As soon as you stop you cover pack with one army poncho. You sleep under poncho pinned to ground on mat. If over 6 foot poncho is shorter than yourself. Been in Hurricanes under poncho 18 inches or less front opening. Dry. You can be soaked totally but rubber rain gear holds heat in. Doesn't breath. 960 plus days outside. 28 to 45 at a time. Those five items work. Rain top bottom Polypad 2 ponchos nylon type Waterproof bag. Buy an Osprey high end gear bag. Get down gear. Compresses best. Thin baclava Watch cap. I cut off polyester sweat pants below knee thin ones that dry. Wore that lightweight army fatigues down to 28 degrees. 17 below is coldest I have been in with 8 degree daytime highs. BUT for through hiking in wet cold. This set up is money. Proven. Yeah I know what high end gear is. Got it all. Not many people live in the woods 28 to 45 days at a time. Army does nonstop.
Great area. Other than Beartooth my favorite.
Thanks for these wonderful videos.. They're great for my 99 year old mother who can no longer leave the house 👍.. The bear food poles confuse me, bears can climb and chew through things, what am I missing? Dave
12:00 Walking Time Bomb , High Blood Pressure , .....Heads up Hikers , consuming Liquor on the trail will give you joint pain , Alcohol is inflammatory , that is why joint pain after drinking alcohol is common. This is especially true if you already have a medical condition like rheumatoid arthritis , kidney disease , and Heart attack if under strain . So on those long inclines it benefits you to leave it at home weeks in advance .If you weigh in around 200 -240 , 25 pound pack should be the max .
Wooow thanks for that extensive lecture Dr. Killjoy, but we only take unsolicited medical advice as frequently as we drink which is HARDLY EVER.. 😂 keep on hiking and try not trip over your own self-righteousness.
Very nice, understated video. Appreciate your obvious respect for the land. I'll be making my fourth trip up the Thorofare in September, and I recognized quite a few spots where I've camped and fished. Thank you!
Video quality is superb! espically for 2004 😂
Hi! My husband and I have really been enjoying your YNP hikes/videos. Nicely done!! We are curious...you sound like you're from our neck of the woods, where are you from? We are in TN. PS: headed back to YNP in Sept and plan to do a long hike. Your channel is helping us decide what area to check out on our next visit. Thank you for that and thanks for the great content! Angie
@@Angies-adventures thanks so much! We’re actually from upstate SC; close enough to visit the Smokey Mountains a few times each year. I just finished a 5 day Slough Creek hike actually, I’ll have the video for that one up in a few days.
@@shredhiker6209 Great! Slough Creek was an option for us. Look forward to watching it! *My husband is originally from Anderson, SC.
Yo if that was weed u were smoking be careful thos rangers fucked me up for a doobie... big time asshole this particular ranger..
We have camped at OG1 and had a close bison encounter there, too. It is a great campsite with wildflowers along a small stream. We just found your site and love your videos.
I enjoy your honesty. you tell it like it is
Such a beautiful place! ♥️
Thank you. What great country that I knew was there, but had little understanding of what the terrain looked like. Great work. From the flatlands of western Kansas.
Thanks so much for the kind words. This corner of the park had been on my mind for some years & I was grateful to finally get the chance to spend a few days out there, learning what I could.
Don't go to Beckler 😅
Thanks you for putting this together. That one isolated Ranger Cabin would be tremendous to see and experience. A great wilderness area to glimpse from this video. Good work!
The Brooks Lake area is somewhat of an unknown gem. It gets very cool at night even in the middle of summer there generally and is known grizzly territory. I need to get back there for a visit.
It really is as beautiful as anywhere I've been, and I've talked to quite a few locals who've had gizzly encounters up there. It's one of those places that lived in the back of my mind, that I need to make it back there when I have more time to really explore.
I just love your videos!!!!!!
Beautiful as always, I love the advice at the end "Stay Hard", I laughed for hours 😮😂🤣😂..
I just happened on to your channel because of this Yellowstone video. Great video! Amazing analysis of your grizzly bear encounter. Great tips about not being complacent. Thank for sharing.
Beautiful footage and I love hearing about Amber’s experience! 💪💪
❤❤❤
I just came across this, even though it was 2 years ago. Hats off to both of you, BUT especially to Amber for being your first long distance backpacking trip. And your comment about how it will help you when you confront other hard things. You both and especially Amber have inspired me.
Awe thank you so much!! ❤ that really means a lot to me!!
Absolutely Awesome photography!! Thank you 🙋♀️😊
Fantastic video. You do an excellent job of narration & (most importantly) just showing the scenery & the silence of the backcountry. You are 1 of the people who have inspired me to mount an 8-day expedition to the Thoroughfare & Heart Lake this September 1. I am in the Denver area. Please give me a shout if you are coming this way. At a minimum, I owe you a beer for all the joy your videos have given me.
I hope you enjoy the Thorofare. That was probably my favorite trip to date, I certainly plan on going back. We may be bumming around Colorado for a week in October; tentatively planning to spend a few days around Frisco & possibly try to get back to Flat Tops.
Thanks for the videos beautiful country
Again, excellent trip report. I've worked in Yellowstone for several seasons and I thought Shelf Lake was a spectacular spot... until your shots of Crescent Lake! Stunning! Can't wait to get out there. Really love the format of your videos as well. Cheers.
Thank you so much, it was one of the highlights of that trip. I hope to make it back up there again someday, hopefully explore beyond shelf lake & up on the sky rim.
Really glad you didn't get eaten!
Great trip report, dude! Going to put this on my trip list for the Summer for sure!
Great video. My wife and I are backpacking in Yellowstone this summer again. It's been 10 years since we did that at Yellowstone so we figured we best get it done before we got too old, pushing 75 now, lol. By the way, what kind of camera are you using? Really enjoy your videos.
Damn those bugs!
They were so bad
A very nice backpacking video. Yellowstone is so wild and wonderful. Keep exploring and making videos!!
Awesome video as usual Thank You
