Thank you for watching! I have a lot of other videos from the Silver Peak Wilderness you might also enjoy!

@jungleperry welcome. Did you get last text I sent you on Ming2. Do you have WhatsApp?

@@CBeard849 thank you for watching. That is actually small compared to ones we have come across offtrai during trail building if you can believe that. I have come upon some at least 18 feet tall. Almost Madrone sized. (Relative, tree form of Manzanita). And thanks for the confirmation on the rock. I've got a collection of pretty Serpentine rocks.

Thank you so much! I'll be out in the Silver Peak Wilderness late November for a week with my baby Taylor guitar, hopefully making more songs and recording them in my favorite backdrops. Elk Camp for sure, Turkey Springs, Lion Den, Upper Cruickshank, Buckeye...

@@sapphirevillaruz thank you

@@stevecypher9213 haha, there is that too! Especially wool socks.

@@stevecypher9213 i am now! There's a new model that I want. It has effects and a transducer to turn the body cavity into a loudspeaker

@@jungleperry I played one of those at Lightning Joe's and wasn't impressed.

BTW, the guitar sounds great.

@@stevecypher9213 thanks! I want a new blues harp, a Suzuki Manji, to play a verse and chorus with after second chorus.

Thanks for watching my nerdy video. Mostly I'm here to share hiking stuff.

Always a pleasure to watch Camera stuff . I try to cover hiking and Cameras in my own way . 😊

Seen? No, but I have heard of them further south, particularly in the Santa Monica Mountains in Malibu. many people claimed to sight the black cats but they weren't cited as puma in size but more panther in size. little larger. I myself have only seen cougar, bobcat, what looked like a Canadian lynx but might have just been a wicked large bobcat. In the southern Los Padres, I'll tell you who would know about black cats and that would be Bryan Conant of the Los Padres Forest Association. they are the organization that maintains trails in the southern part. The northern part which I live amongst in Big Sur and SLO is managed by other groups. In Big Sur it's Ventana Wild Association or VWA.

also thanks for watching. I have a small audience and my content is not typical hiking content but more wilderness routes bushwhacking and trail building. You might like my other videos particularly the Starpoint trail project. I have a playlist

Awesome! I used to work for the Los Padres Forest Association when Ray Ford ran it. Thank you for the great information.@@jungleperry

That is right up my alley. I intend to share my trek out of Nira in the San Rafael to Kennedy Medows in the Golden trout wilderness. That will take time to compile into a video. Love what you do. Have fun!@@jungleperry

thanks for watching! Yes it's in a mid-way part now. Half is completed and the other half awaits our attention. Basically we are reopening a pre-WWII dozer cut put in by the military before this was forest land. Forestry doesn't know about the existence. I checked. So we are planning on making a new loop trip possible in Big Sur. Come visit and I'll take you there!

wow...that sounds like a lot of work, but well worth it once it's completed. I've been to Big Sur only once and that was on a motorcycle. It was beautiful to say the least. If I ever make it out there again, I might just take you up on the offer. Keep up the good work, my friend! @@jungleperry

Since you appreciated it, here's a short history. This is an ancient track cleared by a bulldozer before World War II when Fort Hunter Liggett was all the way to the ocean. This portion after World War II was transferred to the Forestry and added to Los Padres National Forest in Santa Lucia District (southern Big Sur). Forestry had no idea of it's existence. 15 years ago I began my journey to open this up. The bottom side (the end of the track) was so much more open, I could see portions open on Google satellite view. I tried multiple ways to bushwhack to it but you can see this bush is so dense it's impassable without cutting a trail. So this is year two opening up this ancient track. We built a trail all the way up the mountain to the bottom side of the dozer cut and then re-opened up the dozer cut to allow free range hiking all the way up and down for another mile plus another spur which leads back down another ridge towards we think some water source. The views on Starpoint (that's the name we give this trail) are probably the best scenic views in all of Big Sur. When we get this completely passable then we will seek to get the trail added to BigSurTrailMaps website, so others can come enjoy these views and extreme remote location.

Love the history and really admire what you and your friends are doing to establish a trail. Keep up the great work!! Thank you, thank you.👍

Yes, I saw your announcement video. Best of luck to you on your journey. Hope you finish your intention

Harvest Right is the maker of the machine. Dehydrated avocado is a far cry different than freeze dried. I imagine the dehydrated avocado would be black and rock hard and would also never reconstitute.

They are delicious! I will be selling them one day. If I had your address I might send you one to sample. But don't put it in comments. Send me a message on Instagram account if you want

I am not selling yet. I intend on that eventually. I want to concentrate on healthy choices and will need a bunch of products before opening a food company.

I will do something like that at some point. But I can't give away my actual recipes and processes demonstrating how someone could compete with me even before selling my first dish. 😃

It does work best with hot water, but you can cold soak, it just takes longer.
