When I was doing this water filters were not yet on the market .. don't drink from the lake but from springs where never a beaver has been ... oh yeah I have had giardia more than once but drank from hundreds of natural water sources .. I got giardia only when I got carless and drank where I knew I shouldn't ... If you are careful you don't need to filter unless you can't find a good water source ... just something to consider
Ok. I watch a lot of TH-cam videos on flyfishi g. Like too much cause my ever fattening ass is too lazy to go for a walk (unless I'm chasing trout or smallies or upland birds).. But you sir.. have a dandy channel!! Really good a d love the absolut brutal honesty!! Thanks much. This was my 1st experience if your channel.. Excellent stuff. Love the corny ass required folk song too
Lol. Thanks Katie! That's the one. Sorry for the late reply there Greg. Been busy with some projects. It's a great holster, like Katie said. And thanks for all your nice comments man!
Great narration, tell it like it is. Many times I asked myself why I beat the shit out of myself during sleep deprivation forays only to say I can’t wait for the next time.
Best flick I’ve seen in years! I used to do that kinda shiat a lot when I was younger, I plan to die out there when the time comes...thank you for this gift brother.
Your comment just made my week, so the thanks is all to you man. I also hope to die out there when my time arrives as well. Maybe we'll cross paths someday.
This was a great video! I love how you are not afraid to show the grit in solo backpacking, but also show it as a great escape from everyday life. Keep up the great work and keep making fantastic videos!!
Second vid I’ve seen of yours. Man you throw in some really cool elements like the city beginning but as far as the hiking and fishing I don’t see the juice being worth the squeeze. I mean who the hell beats the dog shit out of themselves for a couple of 5”ers. Maybe that’s the best thing that could happen for you because if you were ever unlucky enough to hook into a steelhead in the Idaho mtns. You’d be a goner hooked for life. Making vids of Steelies with a fly rod you’d find yourself 10 years down the road loveless jobless and sleeping on picnic tables keeping the wild animals away with your beer farts waffing out your waders. Odd thing is your not a failure of life but a complete success as your living with passion, purpose and the next tug. Awesome vid dude!! Music is awesome also.
Thanks Josh! Yeah, it was a lot of work for those 5"ers. But for me, not getting to see those kinds of landscapes very often, it's well worth it. And you are correct, if I ever hooked into a steelhead in the Idaho Mountains, I would probably succumb to the trout bum lifestyle. Which honestly, doesn't seem all that bad, not sure why I haven't done it yet. Thanks for the comment though man! Makes all the work worth while.
Great video! Can’t believe you went up the big waterfall twice man, you are a glutton for punishment. I camp on top and fish above the next waterfall. Those mosquitoes brutalized us this summer too. Again, great video.
Thanks! Oh man, I'm glad someone understands how brutal that was. I think I know what campsite you're talking about, there was a couple guys camping there. It's a sweet spot man. You bring your full packs all the way up there? You are also a glutton for punishment 😂 Nice work 💪
Dude! Fucking awesome vlog hah! I was captivated and laughed out loud literally. Killer shots of the wilderness and crazy city footage. I’d say you have a knack for making these sort of whatever you call em. Stoked you got to put some goldens in the net man. Cheers and thanks for making me laugh. Hope you get to get back out in the mountains this year!!! 👊
Thanks Justin! Yeah man, I do love making videos. Unfortunately I switched jobs and wasn't able to find the time to get out there last year. Hopefully this year though! Thanks again for the kind words man. I truly appreciate it.
Damn.. did not know what to expect at first. But I must say.. great video.. you put some time into this and it shows.. the music is very intense and thought provoking.. I enjoy backpacking and fly fishing here in the sierras. We too sight fish for goldens up here.. love this video. Thanks for putting in some awesome production value. It stands out.
Thanks! Definitely took some time, that's for sure. Never been to the Sierras, hopefully someday. Sight fishing for those Golden's was one hell of an experience. Something every fly fisherman should do at least once.
A great, high production video. There is a lot of truth in it; loved the comments on water filtering. In spite of the likely hood that much of the trip will suck, we have to keep going back...
"In spite of the likely hood that much of the trip will suck, we have to keep going back" Truer words have never been spoken. Thanks for the feedback Christopher!
This was a wild ride. Really glad to have found your vid. You’ve got a knack for making a hilarious and weird fly fishing film without the pretension, while making me laugh, while trying to achieve something cinematic yet raw ... whatever all that means. Basically, this shit was so unique and I enjoyed it a lot. I wish I was backpacking right now. Thanks dude. Also, where do you get your music?
Thanks man! I really appreciate it! I haven't been able to get out much the past year, we'll see how next year goes. The site I used for music was artlist.io
Great video..raw..really captured my thoughts on current climate of cities contrasted to the wilderness. I'll take a swollen turned ankle, hunger and mosquito bites to an Antifa invasion. That spot with the creek flowing into the lake looked like an awesome spot. I think you could do a movie with some help.
Thanks Patrick! I appreciate it! Yeah man, I went and filmed all that madness on my own, none of that is purchased footage, I was there myself and it was absolute madness. Glad I moved out of the city a few years ago, to a town of 4,500. That creek was awesome, and full of angry brookies. Hopefully a can do a full film or something more in the future. Take care and thanks again!
...and here's my damn comment. Enjoyed the views but couldn't hear/understand much of the narration 'cause the music track was too loud. Heard you fine when the tune was turned off.
Well John, my video editing was so good I had to make a mistake somewhere. I can't he awesome at everything 🤣 Thanks for the feedback though. I see you're a pilot. That's fucking awesome! Aviation has always been a huge interest of mine. You should upload more aviation videos if you have any. I would love to see them!
@@projectslowfire1262 Thanks for checking out my channel. I wish I did have more videos from the cockpit and the photos I have are not really TH-cam worthy. I'll be watching your channel for new posts.
Good stuff. My Patagonia hats have seen many continents, many fish and critters.
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jason

Like your chest holster. What brand and model is it? Thanks.
Gun Fighter inc...I got one for a backpacking trip in the winds for a ruger Redhawk ....awesome holster!!!
Lol. Thanks Katie! That's the one. Sorry for the late reply there Greg. Been busy with some projects. It's a great holster, like Katie said. And thanks for all your nice comments man!
Was going to ask the same thing. Been looking for a while. Looks damn comfortable and wel made.
Thanks for this. Love it. Genuine and real.
This is the most chad fly-fishing video I’ve ever seen and I’m so fucking here for it.
Bravo, dude. 👍
Nice job, man. Enjoyed it very much.
Well put together video. Beautiful places. Planning a trip there this week to escape the Sturgis motorcycle rally crowds
Thanks! Let me know how your trip went. Doing any fishing? Good call on getting away from the crowds too 👍
@@projectslowfire1262 First time in the Bighorns was awesome. Fished N. Tongue, Little Bighorn, and W. Fork S. Tongue.
Nice job, very entertaining. Spot on about everything from water to killing for cheeseburgers to body odor
Great narration, tell it like it is. Many times I asked myself why I beat the shit out of myself during sleep deprivation forays only to say I can’t wait for the next time.

Thanks for the kind words! Wasn't able to fit in a backpacking trip this year, but I'll make more eventually.
Love the sarcasm about the instagram outdoors crowd at the beginning!
Yeah, by a guy who sets up a camera to record himself and then posts it on TH-cam. Oh the irony.....
This video deserves way more views. Great job! I subscribed. Keep up the great work and content.
Thanks! Unfortunately I wasn't able to fit in any backpacking this year. But next year I should be able to
Very nice. Glad you enjoyed our backyard!
Love your theory on water, man! Totally agree!!
