    Dude, your videos are dope. I thru-hiked the AT last year and I'm currently saving up for the CDT in 2025, but the GDT is on my short-list after that. Your voice is chill as hell, please keep on being you.

    Your on-trail videos are some of the best hiking videos on TH-cam. This trail looks simply BEYOND and I'm so glad you got to hike it, and so incredibly jealous, too! I can't wait to see the next sections. ✌️

    Beautiful scenery on this route.
    I backpacked in Yellowstone over forty yeas ago and had to stay in a numbered campsite in a designated camp area each night. I was told they were doing that in case they had to come and get us out because of bear problems. Almost a year to the day the following year a grizzly tore through a tent and ate 70 pounds of a guy. Our first day in the park we were the only visitors to watch old faithful.

    After talking with members of the GDTA they are pursuing a GDT single permit but are getting stymied by Parks Canada. It seems that thru hiking is not really on their radar and some go as far to say that Parks Canada doesn't want people in the backcountry.

    • @JupiterHikes
      @JupiterHikes  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      4.5 million people visit banff in a year, and maybe just 100 people hike the GDT in a year. So it's very understandable. Hopefully with more recognition of the trail things could change. Or small tweaks overtime; old decommissioned camps turned to GDT camps, or small reroutes to go to less popular areas, or the less popular areas that are present to maybe have slightly relaxed rules for GDT hikers. I am not sure, but in time I think they'll get there.

    There are the rules that seem officious but places lake Crater Lake would not have the same indelible beauty as it did 60 years ago without them. Thankfully there are endless places that dont require the permit process. Gorgeous footage.

    • @JupiterHikes
      @JupiterHikes  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I get it, they need to be there and I understand given the volume of visitors! But for the thru hiker and the scope of this trail it still makes things quite difficult given the sheer amount of them one must get, and how each individual must go about acquiring them. I got them all, and followed all the rules, but hope that 10 years from now a slightly different option can be found. I hope until then everyone plays by those rules as well

      The permit regime sucks the fun and freedom out of hiking, crushing spontineity, bringing instead a rigid and unnecessary control. Sad, and nearly always pointless.

      @@JupiterHikes yes, maybe an overall permit such as for the pct. I can't imagine going for every place that requires a permit there...and I can't imagine what an ecological disaster without some kind of system.

    Absolutely beautiful, reminds me of the north Cascades region a day north of harts pass. I was wondering what you and sprocket did with your food while sleeping and whether or not you carried bear spray. I always tell people not to worry about bears, however I would definitely be concerned more about bears in grizzly country. Happy trails Jupiter, thanks for letting all of us tag along.

    • @JupiterHikes

    @WolfPackM98c 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Eerie, I just commented on another YT backpacking video yesterday about how the permit/itinerary system takes a lot of enjoyment out of the trip because of how rigidly planned everything needs to be. They also throw a lot of rules at you to try and get you to buy into the park services accommodations even if you are there for backcountry use.

      It does! She also made her own pack for the PCT. So what you see her wearing is her design, fabric choices, and features. Some fun ideas there. Will be cool to see what she makes as a version 3

    • @JupiterHikes

  • @saskhiker3935
    @saskhiker3935 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    They should save one tent pad per camping location on trail exclusively for GDT thru-hikerd. Perhaps something GDT Association should lobby for.

    • @JupiterHikes
      @JupiterHikes  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      They are doing similar things to this, old decommissioned horse camps which GDT hikers can now use. Or recommending campsites that are like 1 meter outside park boundaries lol but it's still unfortunately the biggest hassle of the entire hike. Hopefully something that can be remedied in the future, but unless the GDT gets more recognition as an amazing national treasure for Canada, I don't know what would incentivize parks to make any changes.

    Agree, permits change freedom into drudgery. Still beautiful country, but scripted. Touristy, remoteness notwithstanding. As if DMV is enforcing every bureaucratic rule.
    Then there are man's insects. Since everyone must stay in the same camp, houseflies, roaches, mosquitos and biting-blackfly abound. It's disgusting and nowhere near the outdoor experience elsewhere (US).
    It's as if city-dwellers who'd never camped a day in their lives, voted on how to manage a wilderness? Oh wait, that's exactly what Canada's done.
