Less than 150 years ago, these valleys were the site of the last major First Nations battle on Canadian soil betw...
Backpacking the Brazeau Loop - Jasper National Park
มุมมอง 1.8K2 ปีที่แล้ว
The Brazeau Loop is a demanding high-elevation trail that crosses three mountain passes and two National Parks (Banff and Jasper). River fords were necessary crossing the Brazeau as the bridge was washed out. Efforts on this longer-distance wilderness hike come with many rewards and strong hikers can complete the loop in five days. The passes may still be snow covered until July; travel is not ...

This looks beautiful! What month did you do this in? I'm considering going mid-July, but I hope the weather will be good enough.
Always good to see you on the trail Ty, I'm back at Breathe (Saturdays only)... come say hi! :) -Stevil
Brother Vinnie with the farewell gesture for the win! lol. Envious as always man. Clear valleys and high passes. Nice video!
Right?!? 😂
Best outdoorsmen I know. (Just don't tell my brother I said that). 😎 Great video Ty, it will be great to watch in years to come.
Aw...thanks @donitadfowler this exactly why I make videos. It will be cool to hopefully look back with my grandkids someday and share the adventures "grandpa" used to go on when he was young....☺
What a great adventure. While Sawback was already on the list, I want to do it even more.
Loved our time on trail together, Ty! I love playing "Best Supporting Actor" in your backcountry adventures.
We do have some laughs! 😂
I bought a Garmin Fenix pro x took it back the next day and bought the Apple Watch Ultra 2. big difference in battery but I think the average person is not running an ultra marathon. I charge my watch every night and never worry about battery life.
100% I have no regrets going from a Garmin Fenix to an Apple Watch Ultra 2
this really helped my troubles thanks for this blessing of a video. this really enlightend my day.... great video! thanks tyly wily
Glad it helped!
It was not clear to me why you picked AWU2 instead of any other. Kindly in future show it in practical what was so helpful in AWU2 . Will be helpful to understand in real life use
Next month's fastpack! Should be great! Thanks for the vid intel!
I got the Ultra 2 and the Garmin Epix. Any reason you didn't go with the Epix?
If you have the AWU 1 or 2 and an Epix gen 2 pro 51mm like me you wouldn't have to ask, but Ill tell you. I love my AWU more than any watch out there as it's a smart watch and a very capable sports watch with athlytic, and work out doors app and my Epix can NOT compare as a daily driver now I know someone will say heart rate and metrics but apple with work outdoors app has more than Garmin and they are accurate because I pair a Polar h10 to both watches at the same time so..... only thing that is battery which will never bother me as I charge daily both watches if they need it or not. I love my Garmin watch also love my Garmin so much that I have a 965 and the Epix gen 2 pro 51mm because it does way more than the 965 these watches do sports tracking very well and hard to give that up but funny enough I use my Epix pro on my boat as it connects to my trolling motor and all my Garmin instruments also has an anchor drift alarm so I can stay on the tiny reefs I have found over the years fishing off the coast of Alabama and my AWU can't do that yet so I wear both watches every day all day AWU on the left wrist and My Garmin Epix pro g2 on the right wrist with some nylon straps because the straps that came with it dig into my skin. I will be upgrading every new watch for both apple and Garmin if the upgrade is worth upgrading like I didn't buy the AWU 2 just couldn't justify it yet but the 3rd version is in my sights, same goes for Garmin soon as the next big update happens Ill have it also but never anymore 965s I am still mad I bought that watch as soon as I got it I bumped into my fridge and put a scratch on it from top to bottom of the face it wasn't even 24 hours old made me sick!!! So, I'll never own another watch unless its titanium or stainless and sapphire crystal ONLY!!!! I think for 635 bucks Garmin should have put sapphire on the DAMN 965 as popular as it is!!!
@@davidbraswell1481 Okay that was the longest and most fantastic reply ever. I had the Ultra 1 which was totally not accurate even with itself. I would get different distances for the same route. So I sold it for the Garmin Epix which has been great and very accurate. I came across an Ultra recently for $640 in basically new condition so I thought I'll give it a try. And what a different experience. Totally accurate every time. And yes I agree it's just fanatic how it connects to my iPhone and Fitness app and the Health app. I have the Series 8 + cellular which I scored for $175 (no joke) and I wear the Ultra 2 for workouts. I am a running coach so I will keep the Epix as some of my clients use Garmin (most of them). I also agree I think the 965 should be $499 and the 265 should $349. Garmin seems to be pricing themselves about $100 more than they should. Probably because they know they will have their watches on sale so they mark them up. Good times!
I have this one booked as my 2024 shakedown hike :-)
This is one of my favorite loops close to home :-) Good memories.
I just got mine 3 weeks ago I really enjoy it so many features and just fun I do some hiking on weekends it holds up well as far as battery with my usage I get about 3 days with 30% left so I think that’s great for a smart watch it will get better in due time I feel confident leaving my phone at home knowing I can still do what I have to do
Like the series 9 watch
Can't go wrong with it too!
Crazy talk! 😂. Seriously though, Ty, great watch - glad to see you made a choice. Hopefully you’re hiking up Prairie Mountain as I type this, collecting some cool data, and basking in the mountain air & views. ⛰️😎
You know I was! ☀️🏔️🥃
Can never go wrong with selling stuff for newer stuff!
Yea, I really dislike decision fatigue. This watch is all I need…..this week! 🫣😂
Glad you went for it. Good choice.
Me too! Thanks for the feedback! ☺️
Is there a trail that leads off the ridge to powderface road? Looks like a rough bushwack
There isn’t a defined trail that we could find. Followed the natural ridge down to the meadow and then followed the creek to the road.
Ya, agreed. While it’s road walk, the views are still great. +1 for being alone in nature. I’m interested in hiking to the summit of Mt Cornwall.
Let’s do this this summer!
I'm looking at doing this hike this summer. How did you get from Flow Lake TH to your car at Ochre
The only way to do it is either hitchhike or car shuttle assuming you are hiking with someone.
Kananaskis, Alberta looks great!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing! 🙏
Thank you for watching!
Sounds like a heck of an advantage and im here for it
That’s awesome! It was a trip of a lifetime. Enjoy 😊
Wherever it is I want to go there?
Taylor Lake
Oh my gosh. I can’t even imagine sleeping in a washroom. I am such an OCD germaphobe. I have seen lots of people do it though. I often wonder if it was a big storm or something….could I do it?? I guess I have no idea unless it happens.
Well that didn't take long, and it looks like a great day for it!
Glad to see you back out there!
12:02 I grew up in Bragg Creek in the 60s and 70s. It was such an awsome place to be back then. I would ride my bike up the Elbow to go fishing and would not see anyone but a few cows, even in July. The roads were gravel. Then the government made it a park. They paved the roads over the pass into Ford Creek where we had been able to camp in August and see only the odd hunter. They replaced the single forest ranger with dozens of park wardens who made lots and lots of rules. And then they came from Calgary in their 1000s. My memories are so comforting. Thanks for sharing
@terryzanger7152 we truly live in a beautiful part of the world! Thanks for your comment. :)
Cool! Stumbled upon your vid. I passed you guys on your Day 1 in the opposite direction going down to the ski hill finishing the hike (Johnson Canyon, Luellen, Wildflower, Ski Hill). I distinctly remember the foam pads on top of your packs 🙂
No way!
This is a great video, thanks for sharing. Banff is on my bucket list to make a TH-cam video. Liked and subscribed to your channel. If you get a chance, please visit our channel and consider subscribing :-). Looking forward to more videos on your channel.
Nice!
Thanks!
Thanks for the video, what was your training volume like? Doing back to back runs?
It depended on which training block I was in. I was averaging about ~40-50 km a per week. I had a few weeks of ~100 kms
I have done all of it but not in a single push and some was done on horseback. It's a beautiful trip. Well done!. Thanks for posting
Aw, thanks for watching!
Would this tent stand up to 50 mph winds like a hilleberg?
With a proper pitch, I have no doubt.
Hey mate, fantastic video, I'm planning a 2024 GDT (& a little of the CDT) so it was great to see your film, very inspiring & well shot! I did the whole PCT last year so I'm excited to do the rockies! Thanks again, Greg
Aw! Thanks Greg. It was a trip of a lifetime. Congratulations on the PCT, it a bucket list thru for me. :)
@@tylernblaney I'd recommend skipping the desert 🏜️ PCT section! It's long, hot, heavy water carries and I found it uninteresting. With your GDT did you navigate with Far out? If so was it ok? I've heard it's not detailed enough... (But that's what I exclusively use!🤞) Cheers! Greg
This video was so good! I've been hauled to the Lost Souls ultra since I was 8 (I'm 24 now) cheering on my dad doing 50k, 100k, and the 100 miler, but never saw what the actual course looked like. Such great insight! Congratulations, Tyler!
Aw thanks! I enjoyed every minute of this incredible race. As you know, the organizers and volunteers are the best of the best. :)
Awesome! Great scenery and nice images of the grizzlies. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thanks 👍
Great video, Tyler! Wish I was there!
Me too!
Gorgeous lake views! And pretty cool to see those bears too. Good thing they didn't come any closer!
I know, right?
cool video nice bears!
Thanks Kevin! Yea, nice to see them in the wild. A little too close for comfort. :)
Oh yeah 🧸🧸
Nice job. I came in from Forgetmenot pond parking lot via Mount Romulus. Your view was better than mine!
That new lot at elbow pass is excellent!
Its awesome hey? Huge improvement over the old parking lot. Thanks for watching!
nice pitch! Gorgeous lakes. Bucket list.
LOL thanks! took us a minute but we got it. Yea, Tombstone is a gem. We are so lucky to have this so close to Calgary. :)
So the X-Mid 2P is listed as a 52in wide floor. Is there some room to spare after you put your 2-25in pads in there? We were looking at getting a double pad and one of them is 52in wide, wondering if it would actually work. We unfortunately can't easily set up our tent and do a measurement at home, we basically live on a hillside.
The X-Mid floor is 52"x92" so as long as your sleeping pad isn't outside of those measurements, it should work just fine. Both my wife and I sleep on wide (25") pads and it works perfect for us. This is the first "true" 2P tent that actually accommodates to wide pads that I know of.
Hey, Tyler! Thanks for the video. Do you reckon it would fit 2 LONG and WIDE rectangular (not mummy shaped) pads, like the Big Agnes Rapide?
I’m able to fit two Regular Wide Nemo Quasar 3D in the X-Mid 2.
Yes, absolutely.
Great video.❤❤
Thank you! 🤗
