    Went for a 12 mile+ mountain bike ride on singletrack above 6000 feet today. Stopped and had 'brunch' in the sunshine while loafing in my hammock. No outdoor excursion, short or long is complete without a hammock to rest in. A hot meal when the temp is 40F or below is a welcome distraction. Sunshine felt good, no wind. Utah is unusually dry this year. Normally this area would be under at least 2 feet of snow. No need to waste a good opportunity!
    Looks like you and Jonah had a whale of a good time in BWCA. Gotta love the Silky saw, no matter which size/model you have. I'm really liking the Superior insulated hammock....thank you for your real, honest review, using it in real winter conditions. Looks like a real Peach! It's good to see a younger man interested in winter camping/winter outdoors. Some of us older fellers still have it in us to do the winter outdoors thing. Need to educate our younger comrades to the joys it brings. Thanks for sharing.

    Just catching up. What a wonderful way to spend a few days. We are so fortunate here in MN to have such a spectacular place to hang out and hike. Never tried winter camping. My father-in-law would go winter camping. Worked with the Boy Scouts for decades and was one when younger. Loved the cold. Thanks for letting us tag along. Hope your Christmas was awesome and your New Year's even better.

    Your video's are like medication to a cancer patient in today's world. I have moved to Michigan from San Francisco to bolster the defense of my family in these times. Ive no experience in "winter camping" but look forward to the learning the curve. I loved the Lost coast in CA and camped there many times solo. I am currently "ground sleeper" and not a hammock solder only because of equipment needed. You are helping me understand the difference between the two. Keep up the hard work and i appreciate your channel. Early!!! If you would ever like to produce content in Michigan, I have access to 30 acres of Michigan woods that you can work with. Hell i dont even have to be evolved. I just enjoy watching you videos. lol

    I speak for myself. This year has been challenging for most of us and sadly, devastating for others. During this chaos, some of us chose to stop viewing TV and turn to the internet to relax from the taxing wave of less than honest informational entertainment. Myself as an avid You-Tube viewer, have selected a few channels that peak my interests and provide me with a mental release that we all need in todays world. Kind of a therapeutic dumbing down. No Political opinions, no rants about the injustices of the world, no platforms on how one should feel about one thing or another and how wrong it is to think any other way. Being a long-winded advocate for brevity, the point I’m trying to make is just to say thank you. You and your channel content have provided an outlet of sanity in an otherwise crazy ass world. You have shared with us your interests and adventures. You invited us along, not as observes but as accomplices. You’ve taken us to places we might never have gotten to go. In doing so we got to see things and meet people via the channel. I believe every one is a book, one that’s worth the read. It has drama, laughter, and sorrow. When one shares their book of life it’s an awesome event to behold. Im grateful for the time shared. In closing, regardless of what kind of challenges and situations thrown at us this year December 25th is still Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and yours. May our future be brighter than years past. P.S. No I’m not running for any office.

    something you might want to look into, they're kind of pricey, and they're designed for winter cycling, but you can leave on the cover that hides the cleat mounts. 45Nrth makes two models of winter boots. both models have aerogel in the soles, and both models include a removable liner. I've been using the more expensive Wulfgar model for two seasons (rated for -20°F). it was an older model that had traditional laces with a cord lock. the pair that I had are pretty beat up now because I used them daily, but they still function, and are still fully waterproof, although I had to replace the laces, and it's time to replace the liners. this past week I just bought the other model which is only rated down to 0°F. the newer models now feature a Boa lacing system which I can already tell will be much easier to use with gloves on. the liner feels much nicer compared to the felt Wool liners in the Wulfgar model... I'm not sure if the newer Wulfgar models feature the same sort of liner. when I purchased my Wulfgars, I had read a review that said to get a size larger than you needed so that you'd be able to put on thicker socks or nest a smaller liner inside the other liner and extend the temperature range. I didn't ever actually need that and I kind of wish I had gotten my normal size.
    because I had done that I ended up purchasing some "military" microfleece over-socks on Amazon. and one thing I noticed about using them is that the outside of the oversocks would be damp but my feet and socks would be dry

    • @shugemery
