Saw you out there on my thru hike at end of July last year too! I really enjoy the video and only find myself wishing your self filming while out trekking didn't blur out the background.
That is awesome! I film a lot in cinematic mode. That’s a good point. I may have to start filming some segments in regular mode to take advantage of the incredible surroundings.
hot. sometimes, 85 degrees. Check weather history. The problem with the sierras is the granite. The decomposed granite you walk on and the high mountain, dry air. You can cook yourself on the trail easily if you don't drink enough water. North and East ridge lines have the least available water sources. South and west sides of the trail you are good to go. Desolation is all rock so think about tent set up if you use stakes. Oh. Marlette Lake campground has a water pump but it's not always working. So walk on down to the little meadow and find youtself a trickle of water and filter it. Or, you can walk on down to Marlette Lake and top off. If going north from Marlette, your next water spot is twin lakes. It's on the rim trail map. Water after there wont be had again until you get close to Mount Rose highway.
What a great job of editing and presentation. You're a natural. I could never approach your skill-set in narration without a LOT of multiple takes. Your message comes across in how momentous an accomplishment this was for you. I followed you on this trip through the link you provided me but this fills it all in brilliantly. Your methods, technique, recommendations, strategy and personal message in how this affected you comes across the screen quite clear. Nice work. To accomplish this trek with all the physical challenges as they presented themselves and still grab the videos and conversations on the trail just simply amazes me. Don't have any clue why you couldn't have included live footage of the challenges in the chutes :-) JK!
Videoshop. I think maybe they do a month to month subscription now but when I started using it a few years ago it was a one time purchase for the pro version of around $50. Its the best and easiest video app I've tried. It was WAY worth the $50.
Great video. Thank you!
Thank you!
Really appreciate the idea of using water to melt the snow, thx!
It’s a good tip and saves fuel.

I’m seeing this in December’24 & planning a trip there in ‘25. I was wondering when you said it was “hot” about what was the temperature? Thanks

@ thanks!!
I wondered where you have been!!!

Glad you enjoyed it Ray!
What apps did you use to make /edit this video?

I can do all the editing on my phone very easily with this app. very simple and easy to manipulate things on the phone.
nice job....more views less commentary
Ha ha… I totally agree but a made this mostly for family to see what I’m doing and thinking when I hike. I tend to blab a lot. lol
I appreciate the commentary, good information, thanks!
