Solo Backpacking Rush Creek to Thousand Island Lake, CA

[@ahoward3819]

So beautiful! Thank you for taking me somewhere I will never get to see on my own. I appreciate you for that so very much. Hope the knee is ok and you can rest. Cheers!

Thank you, I rested for two days and was fine then went to the next backpacking trip 😂

[@bloorazzberries]

Great video! Looked so peaceful up there.

Thanks for the great video, I only take bad photos on the trail and it’s nice to see video of some of the trails I’ve backpacked in the Sierras. I camped in the same location at Thousand Island Lake about a week or so before you, but on the grassy area behind your tent.

Awe…that was quite a beautiful hike.🏔 I can barely get 6000 steps in a day and you’re killing it with these hikes. I swear that backpack is growing. 😝 Cute haircut 💇🏻‍♀️

Thanks, I was fine after two days resting

[@reyramirez1335]

Great video, loved the mountain peak behind your tent, was the umbrella your idea, thanks for sharing, will say a prayer for you and your knee, 👍✌️👋

[@jiaojiaotian]

A lot through hikers use the umbrella

[@SamwiseOutdoors]

I think that the algorithm is screwed up, because I haven't seen your videos in my feed for some time. I was really happy to find that you'd posted today.

[@jiaojiaotian]

I was just taking a break, didn’t film

[@SamwiseOutdoors]

@@jiaojiaotian I understand. Sometimes the real world gets in the way. I hope that your knee is doing better!

[@jiaojiaotian]

@@SamwiseOutdoors I was fine after two days no hiking

[@lenoremarentette1228]

18 miles! That's my max with just a day pack!

[@jiaojiaotian]

😊😉 that’s just the trail miles.
I hike more because I go back and forth to film myself. For example: at convict creek backpacking trip, it’s 6 miles one way up, I hiked 9.1 miles. So you do the math😬

Great content !👍

[@jiaojiaotian]

Thanks

[@reniturangan8538]

What lake did you camp. Is it 14.3 or 18 miles. I’m going tomorrow. Solo kind of scare but, I’ve been wanting to do it. V

[@jiaojiaotian]

@@reniturangan8538 you will have great time there, it’s beautiful. I think it 18 round trip

[@allentufts8799]

Fantastic video, I loved the edit and the soundtrack. Hope your knee heals well for the next trip. Thank you for the beautiful content.

[@jiaojiaotian]

Thank you.

[@crashlikewaves]

I did an 18 mile hike in Yellowstone and I literally cried the last 3 miles 😂 I was not prepared!

[@jiaojiaotian]

I know the feeling

[@Hannah95066]

That umbrella really came in handy. How did you attach it to your pack? Was it made especially for the pack?

[@jiaojiaotian]

There are parts you can buy to attach it to backpack

[@dilippatel3268]

excellent video, how heavy was your pack?

[@jiaojiaotian]

My pack is very heavy because of all the camera equipment, I just go with the weight I’m capable of carrying

[@smellybearc7411]

Great video. What’s your pack weight?

[@jiaojiaotian]

Base weight probably around 15-20, but I have 10-15 Lbs of camera stuff or even more, it depends on
