    Another great video.
    I'd really like to hear some hiking stats, how far in, elevation gain, time traveled.
    I looked up the MSR Remote, nice Tent, that large Vestibule will come in handy for sure!!

      Thanks again for watching/encouraging comment! When I head out I try to unplug and don’t track any info…but if viewers are interested in stats I can track some next time😊. This trip wasn’t a big one ~2,280’ elevation gain, some flat sections but mostly a climb, time travelled trailhead to camp ~3.5 hours skinning up but took breaks for delayering, filming, hydrating and snacks. I didn’t track distance so not sure this time but ~3.5 km in. Next morning skinned up to ridge and skied down to camp which is super fun to ski down back to the tent! Still amazes me how fast it is coming down on ski’s, heavy overnight camp pack so the climb is definitely slower than a day ski tour. Very happy with the new MSR Remote 2 tent, looking forward to trying it in the alpine in strong winds etc. The snow skirting on vestibules is a big plus, the side entries and exits make for ease of exit/entry and large vestibule is a great cooking area out of the weather. Hope that helps!

    Great trip, really enjoyed that. Going to be heading out west in Feb to do some touring and camping as well!!
    What's that big reflective mat that you have under your sleeping pad?

      Thanks for watching, the big reflective tarp is a multipurpose tarp, can be found online at following stores: Canadian Tire, Cabella’s or MEC (Mountain Equipment Company), it is listed as SOL Brand (Survive Outdoors Longer: All Season Blanket; four season of protection | windproof | durable | heat reflective and waterproof | rugged lightweight tarp | highly visible). Price ranges from $21.99-$25.95. Advertised to reflect 80% of radiated body heat. Very versatile. We use it as internal tent footprint and would come in handy for signalling for SAR and survival blanket, etc. Hope that helps!

    spectacular video and experience. What was the approx. total weight of your backpack and how many hours did you walk from the parking to the place you put up the tent? Really curious if I could manage carrying all those nice things..... well done!

      @maxw1nter
      Thanks for the comment/questions! Approximate weight of loaded backpack ~50-60 lbs…but that’s a guess as I rarely weigh it or track distance/times, more about the trip and destination/experience for me. It’s an old backpack so that adds more weight compared to the new lighter packs available these days. ~3-4 hours skinning up but I don’t rush and try to avoid sweating and I enjoy taking footage enroute, snacking, hydrating and enjoying the surroundings. Hope that helps and that you get into the air out there soon, enjoy!

    What drone are you using? Looks like it’s able to kinda follow?

    • @airoutthere
      @airoutthere  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @scottponiewaz1316 Thanks for watching. The drone is the DJI Mini 2, it doesn’t have a follow feature but quick shots (programmed shots one can select and drone will auto fly), which enable you to lock on subject of your choice during the quick shot. If subject is moving too quickly it will end the quick shot. The latest model (DJI Mini 4) does have follow feature and additional sensors to avoid objects. Hope that helps!

    How you solve wet clothing( thrrmo Tshirt etc), did you dry it somehow?

    • @airoutthere
      @airoutthere  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I was taught very early in life by mountain folk to try to avoid sweating too much when in the mountains. I pace myself, wear many layers so can delayer and layer back up again as necessary. Merino wool base layers are great as they breathe very well, keep one warm, lightweight, and don’t collect smell as much as synthetics, even after several days in the backcountry, if one has been careful to not sweat too much. I also take extra pairs of socks, clothing, many pairs of gloves etc, and air everything out (eg. remove soles from boots) and place items in the sun and wind any chance I get. In the tent a trick is tuck the next days clothing in your sleeping bag and your body heat warms it up nicely, hang items up to dry outside or inside tent in summer, in winter tuck in sleeping bag and body heat will help to at least keep clothing from freezing if a bit damp. Sometimes you may be able to build a fire and dry clothing/footwear but be careful to not place things too close and always ensure legal to build fire in current location, no fire ban (wildfire season restrictions) and only build one when necessary and use dead wood, as wildlife depends on healthy trees/lichen etc. Be sure to put it out properly too and clean up camp/trail. Sometimes you may just have to be a bit cold initially when donning clothing or footwear if it’s cold and/or damp in the morning, but body heat when start moving will warm things up. A warm tea or coffee does wonders too. Tuck insulated hot water bottle in sleeping bag overnight. And good waterproof/breathable shells for upper and lower body (wear accordingly, I use very little when hiking or skinning up mountains as will sweat if too bundled up) that protect from weather at camp with proper base layers, toque, buffs, goggles, gloves, good sleeping bag and pad etc. And lots of food that provides fuel for the stove to keep heating your body. Avoid stepping in puddles and if have to cross river plan ahead with light water shoes or go barefoot, caution sharp rocks that can slice open numb feet in rivers and slippery rocks due to moss etc. Ziplock bags or lightweight dry bags are your friend in the mountains to keep things dry. Hope that helps, happy adventuring!
