    Great mileage. I’ve hiked 1-6 so far. It’s fun to see similar places. I usually despise music people play but yours is so amazing. Thanks for quenching that fire too. Kids are crazy these days!

      Glad you enjoy it! You'd get sick of hearing my heavy breathing and squeaking backpack if I didn't cover it up with some tunes. I can't stand to listen to it, so I'm sure everyone else would hate it too! LOL. The first week was my least favorite part of the trail tbh, and I loved every day! The San Juans (part 4&5 of my trip) was definitely my favorite stretch. I'm going to get out there again some day, no doubt.

    Looks like an Osprey. Mine squeaks too....beautiful choice of music too. Love Floyd

      I noticed after resupply, fully loaded, the squeaking was bad. As the load lightens, not so bad. Lube helped a ton! (It’s a Gregory Paragon 58L)

    I live in the forest about 30 minutes from Kenosha Pass. Thanks for saving CO and my home. Thruhiked the CT in 2016 at age 50. I’ll do it again after I retire in May. Enjoy! It gets better and better!

    Can’t believe there’s actually a Blair Witch trail out there. Very fitting though. Also, salad? Did I see a salad for your first in town meal? I don’t think we can hang out anymore….

    • @MoonJuiceHikes
      @MoonJuiceHikes  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Lol! Dude… that’s because I had too many beers at the Mexican food place I went to for lunch… I didn’t even end up eating. I filled up with IPA’s and chips and salsa! Forced myself to go get a meal for dinner, struggled to get that salad down. Learned my lesson for sure.

    • @MoonJuiceHikes
      @MoonJuiceHikes  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Watch the last minute of this video and you’ll see! However, I have to admit, my “fix” was temporary and only a few weeks after this trip the frame tore through the fabric. Not sure if I weakened it, or if I just keep carrying too much weight (probably both). I probably need to shorten my load outs to 3-4 days max, instead of 5-7.

      Petroleum Jelly. While the frame quit squeaking, not long after returning from the CT, the pack tore open right where I lathered up the jelly. I think it might have done some damage to the fabric.

      I have no idea how that works. I don’t have any copyright issues. Maybe you get a pass if we’re talking about an instrumental cover? This is not a monetized channel, that’s probably a factor.
