@@pappysproductions Sorry I was not able to respond sooner. I was out backpacking the JMT. Unfortunately, there wasn't a way to hang a hammock when I was there 2 years ago. I'd assume that hasn't changed. Don't let that stop you, us ground dwellers recommend this island highly!

@@andreas.v6059 woah!!! That's huge! We'll done. We're going to need some picks. That sounds epic!!!

@@ColemanOutdoors it was epic for sure, but the rest of the Weekend is Recovery 😅

@@andreas.v6059 I believe that! 🤞it's a quick one.

Do IT! It's such a great trip!!!

It's a crowd pleaser for sure! And no it's not. I know it's a dairy product, but it really should be its own food group.😁

Oh....I can't tell you how happy I've been since it's been gone. Good luck with making it history!

You bet, dude! Thanks for the compliment. I hope you're doing well and that you have a great 7/4 holiday. Take care, dude!!!!

Thanks a bunch, Dave! I have great memories of that day too! I put that sticker you gave me on my sticker board. You, me and Tony need to plan a hike. I hope you're still hiking. ;) Have a great 7/4 holiday!!

Eric, be cautious when a Icecream Truck shows up at your Frontdoor😂

hahaha.....I'm getting extra camera's and a guard dog soon.

haha....captured and then forced at gunpoint to be the designated drive no doubt!!

You bet, Kevin and thanks for the compliment. I really love making stuff. I'm going to do my best on the JMT. Hoping we can avoid the fires. Crossing fingers. ;) Holy smokes....you're almost there on a full JMT adventure!! I did Bishop Pass to Whitney Portal last year, so I know you're going to have a great time! If you haven't done the North to South Lake Loop, that's a great one too. Then you'll fill in that gap you're leaving between your two trips. Hopefully we cross paths sometime in August. ;) Good luck, buddy!

Thanks, buddy! I really need to get off my butt! ;) I'm behind on so many things. Truth is I'm staying busy, but having a hard time redirecting some focus on YT. Thanks for wishing me luck.....with all these fires popping up, I'm going to need it.

Thanks, buddy! I need to get that kid back on the trail with me. SMH. Hope you're doing well. Have a great 7/4!!

@@ColemanOutdoors Hahahaha word, hey you too bud happy independence day!!!

I can't wait for it! I sure hope these fires don't ruin my trip. ;) Fingers crossed! Thanks for watching the video and I hope you're doing well.

Oh wow....thanks so much for such a nice compliment!!! It was lots of fun to make.

Thanks a bunch for the great compliment, buddy! As always, it's my pleasure. :) Hope all is well and have a great 4th of July holiday!

"Hell. It's about time!" 🤣

Thanks bro! A good warm-up to last years Challenge!😄

Hey Dave!! Thanks, buddy! You me and Tony need to get together and hike.

😁 here I am! Thanks for the welcome back. Sorry to have been gone so long.😉

Thanks, Andreas! Things have been okay, buddy. I appreciate you asking. It's a combination of being busy and a little burnt out. I've been meaning to post a little update, but failing to launch. 😂 I'll get something up soon. Hope you're doing well!!

@@ColemanOutdoors good to hear that you are fine so far, when creating Videos is no longer fun, but more of a hustle, then take a break. I'm doin fine, thanks for askin. I'm in training phase right now for a 20mi hike in low mountains that i will hit in aprox 4 weeks.

​@@andreas.v6059yeah....that's sound advice. All glad to hear that, bus! Get those mountains. I love'em so much!!

Yeah it is. Kicked my butt!!

I'll do that! Just for you, Frank.😉 Hopefully you were able to FF to the juicy parts.😁

Cool! I've been to the one in Reno too. I need to road trip some more.😉

Oh that is so awesome. I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much. Sorry for the delayed response too. If you want to go check out the Cut, let me know. The snakes and weeds can be avoided if you walk in from the northeast side. That's where I exited and there weren't any weeds!! Let me know and we can meet and I'll walk lead the way. That would be awesome if Newhall fixed it, although I suspect it would cost a ton of money and the local tax payers might object. Fingers cross some bazillionare that loves history will make a massive donation someday. ;)

You're welcome and I'm glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your history too. And hey, even though you're not driving through the Cut, I'm sure you're still touching road where wagon wheels once touched. I still drive by there often enough myself. I love hiking up East Canyon. Every time I drive by the Cut I think back to my childhood and all the neat history we have coming out of our little piece of LA County. 😁

Nice! I hope to see you there! It was great in 2023 too.

That's a bummer! Thanks for sharing though. Hopefully they where having an off day. They make great products though. I stand by the quality.

You bet! I hope you can make it happen. It's a game changer.

HAHAHA....yes he does!

I haven't tried carrying coins. I'm going to assume...it won't work very well. The Wingman is great at holding a few notes though. Honestly, I was really hesitant to go the "minimalist wallet" approach. Changing 40 years of carrying your typical bill fold habit was scary.🤣 I'll never go back. It's refreshing not to have an overstuffed wallet with things I never needed. Let go of your out-of-date behavior, Maximilliam. Coins are for wishing wells and gumball machines. Buy a pack of gum at Wal-Mart and ""A real man makes his own luck."" Billy Zane. Titanic" Dwight Schrute. The Office.

@ColemanOutdoors I see. I've been hoping it would combine the AKIELO card wallet (minimalist wallet that allows a heavy card user like myself to have some space for coins and notes) and the holder (that only carries 6 cards and can hold some notes). I wish I could go 100% cashless, but there are still events that only take cash and some tyre air machines only take cash. I've ditched the big wallets already but running events where some people pay on the day in cash doesn't help lol.

Thanks! Yeah....I knew it was, but have yet to even make an attempt. The window is sort of small and I keep missing it. Probably this fall.

Thank you!!!

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you able to clarify?

The resmed is 24v and might require the $300 medical battery to operate properly.

You are welcome. It's my pleasure.

Thanks for the assist, Doc! ;)

Bob....that is literally my most favorite unintended benefit of having sleep apnea!!! Truth be told....I do this at home for most of the year too.

Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are longer lasting and safer than Lipo, but heavier per WH. That may be a big consideration for backpacking.

Thanks for sharing your history there in SCV, David. I have lot of great memories too. I forget if I mentioned it in the video, but I spent my first 14 years in Saugus. All those memories you have are similar to mine. I've pretty much been in the SFV since coming out here and I still miss the small town feel of living up Bouquet Canyon, although that small town feel is now gone. SCV is still a great place, but I like the "Valley" too. Thank you taking the time and sharing you appreciation for my efforts. This is still one of my favorite videos. ;)

Thanks, dude! Get your dad to bring you out to Cali for a fun island camping trip!

@@ColemanOutdoors idk, we’ll see about that one!

haha....no one was forcing you to watch the video, although I do appreciate it and the feedback. ;) Hope you're able get yourself up and running with with a backpacking cpap soon. I get the feeling you need a nice long trip with plenty of quality sleep.
