The Unprepared Hikers
Canada
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2020
Experience the bountiful beauty that surrounds all of us. You will be inspired to get outside and explore.
You don't need to be completely prepared. You can be a hiking or backpacking beginner and still have a great time. We are always missing something: proper boots, a bag of meat, warm clothing. It seems the only abundunce we have is BaiJiu (a chinese spirit) courtesy of Edwin. Nevertheless, we conquer the gruelling trail and see beautiful sunsets, towering mountatins, crystal clear waters and the stunning milky way.
It's not just about the beauty. It's a lifestyle, unplugging from the world, free from phone calls from your boss or nagging mom. It's also the comradery, the relationships we build as we cook together, eat together, laugh together and cry together. Backpacking truly is the pinnacle of life.

Northern Lights Timelapse- Aurora Borealis
Northern Lights Timelapse- Aurora Borealis
The once in a lifetime opportunity when you can see the northern lights in your own backyard. Literally went out to my back porch, put the camera on the tripod and that was that. I was so sad because I sold my 14mm f2.8 lens so had to resort to a 20mm f4...but I'll take it.
Where did you guys go this weekend to see this awe-inspiring phenomenon?

Relaxing POV nature photography | Music for studying | Minnekhada Regional Park
มุมมอง 1904 หลายเดือนก่อน
I took a stroll around Minnekhada with my a7iv and 200-600mm and 70mm macro lens, hoping to get a couple shots of birds and flowers. Imagine my surprise as I came across a great blue heron near the marshes not 15m away from me! I hurridly took out my tripod and recorded it. Little did I know, I filmed for over an hour and the heron barely moved. Truly a test of my patience. In the end however, ...

Located in Banff, Egypt Lake and Pharoh Peaks are one of the most stunning places to go to. We sort of cheated by taking the gondola up, but ended up having to walk about the same distance kilometer wise. Definitely recommend going.

Bikepacking The BC Trail Solo | 11 days | 1000km

Starting from Coquitlam, I bikpacked across some of British Columbia's most stunning places and sketchiest trails, including Skagit, the KVR, and Gray Creek Pass before ending in Cranbrook. I encountered many difficulties such as torrential rainstorms and popped inner tubes but I was able to persevere and come out victorious. My lowest point came on the fourth day.

Hiking Brew Hut to see the Mountain's "Fall Colours"
👍I did pretty much the same route as you, but in reverse, and I took Hyw 3 instead of Paleface Pass, 12 days, Kimberly - New Westminster. 👀😇
Looks like a great ride
Was painful but worth it
@@theunpreparedhikers5572 yes, I know how painful it is to ride long distance, to run long distance and to hike long distance. You accomplished something and you pushed yourself. That shows strength.
Heads up buddy. It is illegal to fly your drone in the National Parks. Defacing the rocks is also just bad trail etiquette perhaps also illegal. You can do better.
Are you aware that you are not allowed to use drones in the National Park?
Luv your vids
93 octane? Expensive as heck bro. You must be rich, I get cheap gas. Nice car
I think the pump only had the 93 octane tag on it but we got 89. This was when gas was like 220
@@theunpreparedhikers5572 I see, your based out of Vancouver right?
@@BobbyDontcare-xd3ps yep. wish i lived closer to banff
@@theunpreparedhikers5572 I have met you before
are u a twin?
Good job i thoroughly enjoyed this . I have a few bike pack trips under my belt and can relate to a few of your obsticles .
Thanks mate. Will be going on another bikepacking trip soon
Bro can you provid the link for booking campsite?
Here it is. Usually you have to book many months in advance to get a spot, but there may be cancellations bcparks.ca/reservations/backcountry-camping/mount-assiniboine/
A Starling.
thanks
So wonderful to see nature❤❤❤
Indeed it is. Hope to bring you more videos in the future
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
This is guy is so resilient than Bruce Lee, going unprepared and fully equipped is crazy....
Appreciate the compliment
One of my favorite paddling places. I have property just outside the park. Didn’t realize that drones were allowed in the park. Did you get permission and the proper permits? They go over all this in orientation. If not, Be careful. They may see this and impose a hefty fine.
That campsite just before Nelson was a little loud under the bridge when big trucks go over, i know cause i slept there too. Great vid and hope the missing screw from your shoe cleat didnt hamper your ride. Great effort and camera work.
Haha nice. I was so dead I didn't even notice. The sholeaces on my shoes kept coming undone, that probably frustrated me more than the missing screw
Great vid very entertaining
Thanks!
This is a true adventure. I find myself both admiring your courage and resilience and also lamenting some of your choices. I can't imagine taking this on without a waterproof shelter. Great footage and nicely edited - a compelling watch. Thanks for chronicling both the highs and the lows and sharing it with us.
Im glad you enjoyed it!
Dude, you went the wrong way and you went uphill. shudda gone from Princeton to Brookmere, Coquihalla Lakes, Iago to Jessica the back way and down the hill. Kudos for your endurance and toughing it out.
I started in Vancouver so I couldn't really go that way (I don't think at least). Not sure where Jessica and Lago are.
@@theunpreparedhikers5572 I am slowly doing 30 km chunks of the Kettle Valley Rail route. Always downhill. Take a tent. See the old wooden circle nameboards on the Coq Highway they refer to CP waypoints.
@@tandemcompound2 Thanks man. I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to do this again.
FYI the yeallow stuff in the water was tree pollen. :)
Yep realized that towards the end of the trip. Nasty stuff.
😍😍😍😍 This is impressive
Thanks mate
Nice energy and presentation!
Thanks a bunch!
Mentally challenged challenge for mentally challenged individuals!
No tent or rain gear, one bolt holding your shoe cleat on -I love it. I really enjoyed watching it, nice work.
Haha yeah hence the name Unprepared Hikers. Not on purpose tho, just didn't quite know what I was getting myself into
Great hiking area. Just put this one on the list.thanks for the great video.
Well done ! Loved your video and editing skills and your sense of humour. What a superb trip you just took us on.. Thanks 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great camera work, like the music too!
Thanks mate!

The suffering and the struggle is the best part of the journey. If it was easy what lessons would you learn. This will live with you for your entire life.
In the heat of the moment, it definitely wasn't fun. But in retrospect yes I learned a lot of lessons and was the most memorable 10 days of my life. I will never forget them.
Just watching the climb to the peak gave me sweaty palms!
Almost as steep as the prices at Haidilao
Keep putting out fantastic videos like this and your channel will take off. I live in BC as well and I'm loving the content.
Hey man really appreciate the support and encouragement! More videos will definitely be coming soon
Awesome video and great footage. This past summer, we biked from Vancouver to the On border taking hyw 3 through bc.
Yo that's sick! How long did that take you? I was hoping to do something like that one day, but I feel I need to have someone come with me; almost died of lonliness
@@theunpreparedhikers5572 I can understand how someone would get lonely after a while. Thankfully I usually bike (long trips) with my dad. Front Vancouver to the Ontario border it took us about 3 1/2 weeks less the train ride out to Van from Winnipeg, Mb. We have been posting episodes of this trip on our channel. Cheers!
Good chance your knee pain was from not having your seat at the proper height. I made that mistake on a bike tour before
Yeah possibly. I should've done more trial runs with that bike, but I got it fixed up like a week before I left and rode it once for about 2 hours lol
Beautiful scenery!
wow excellent video!
hahahaha when I saw the tire width I knew this was going to be good.
Hahaha I see you have much experience bikepacking. To be fair, when I was googling the trip, they said 36mm was okay
I expected your next journey after watching it.
Congrats, very inspiring! How wide your tires were?
Had 36mm tires; they were not wide enough. Would recommend at least 45, probably even more
I love how real this is. You don't have fancy gear, don't act like you know what you're doing, show your challenges, and just bring us along for a journey through time
Haha I definitely don't know what I'm doing sometimes. Thanks for the feedback, Im glad you enjoyed it
You pounced Thw lake wrong. Also sad to say it isn't beautiful anymore. Our beautiful mountains burned this past summer 😢......
Oh did it burn down this summer? I had friends go in July and it was okay then. The wildfires really do suck
"I LIKE A DOG!!!" Lol
?
Congratulations, you are very courageous 🤩👍😀
Thanks!
Great video ,but Dude do some research next time and get a bike fit ,tent wet weather gear and some spares .I rode this trail in the BC epic race good to see again!
Yep I will definitely do that next time. I don't know why I didn't do a short trial run (maybe cuz I am unprepared).
@@theunpreparedhikers5572 At least the bike fit, even after hundreds of km your knees shouldn't hurt that much. The gear is secondary imo, you can muddle through with anything but if your body is hurting you won't get very far.
@@jamiewellbourn3609 yeah would've been smart 🤓
Awesome! Bet you’re a lot better at changing tires! 😝
Haha unfortunately yes I am
Such an effort to film this journey! You are a natural story teller! Cheers!
Yeah it was annoying setting up the camera and riding past it, then going back to pick it up. But it was worth it. Glad u enjoyed:)
red necks and the saudis have somehow something in common when it comes down to have fun apart from alcohol consume.😝
Good job! At around 11 minutes, I've heard that section is overgrown and just nasty😅
Haha yeah, shouldn't even be marked as a trail on the map. Genuinely felt like I was gonna die
This is super well documented and shott! Nice work man! That route is a doozey!
Ah thanks mate. I've seen some of your videos too. They're top notch
@@theunpreparedhikers5572 you're too kind! I probably just missed you on the trail that week. The guy that gave you the spare tube up above Christina Lake was Damian Parlee, and he absolutely slaughtered the BC Epic this summer. Such a good guy! Keep up the Bikepacking!
And now I see why you were near dead when I found you before Manning 😮
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Brian good to hear from you again! Thanks again for the ride :) Let me know if you're ever in Vancouver, we can meet up or sth
@@theunpreparedhikers5572 for sure! I'm planning on being coastal again soon for some work. Be fun to meet up.
I rode from Canmore to Vancouver during August. It was also my first bikepacking adventure, and I loved it! This is an excellent video!
Glad u liked it. How was the wildfires on your trip?
That was truly a great video ! Thank you for sharing your bikepacking trip - You are excellent at filming and you give a good narrative, keep at it, I am sure the best is yet to come
Thank you very much!
What an adventure. Good on you for sticking to your plans and completing the journey. Enjoyed every minute….beautiful views too!
Haha I cheated here and there but I got to my destination :). It was definitely an eye opening experience. Glad you liked it
