    Congrats on your first solo hike. I did my first solo hike at Mt. Washington too, it was three years ago. It was amazing. lol I talk to people at Walmart.

      Thank you, I have been hiking for years and years and always had friends to come along but this time I didnt. I ran into at least 5 or 6 solo hikers of which most were woman which I thought was awesome..... Walmart lol

    It was great to revisit some of my all time favourite trails. Thank you for sharing your first solo trip! I did several solo treks there before I left the island over 15 years ago. I live in South Africa now but my heart is still in those beautiful high country sub-alpine meadows of Vancouver Island. There used to be tent pads at Kwai Lake. I wonder if its only day use now. Incidentally I had a frightening encounter with a mama bear and cubs in Murray Meadows during one of my solo trips. She spotted me and immediately sent her cubs up a tree while sending me « I'm about to f' you up » vibes as I slowly backed down the trail before turning around hightailing toward where the spur trail joins the main Albert Edward/ Circlet Lake trail near the ranger hut.

      I am happy that I was able to help you revisit fond memories. They still have pads I think at Kwai, they also have a dedicated day use area. Its the mamas you have to watch out for :) Been there done that lol.

    Whiskey Jacks real name is the Canada Jay, and they are Canada's National Bird. Just saying.....love the hike! I live not far in Campbell River😁

      I did not know that! I haven't much spent much time in the alpine. That makes me think about people calling Stellers Jay's, blue Jay's

    hey man i hate to be a bummer but its really bad for the whiskey jacks to feed them (i didnt know this at first and am guilty of it too)

    • @IslandUncharted
      @IslandUncharted  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I thought about that after... your 100% right. I didn't give it much thought at the time. My mind was preoccupied with the logistics. They seem to congregate ar places hikers stop for breaks, they have it all figured out

      @@IslandUncharted they really do! they become a nightmare of a pest once the weather turns cold. they'd gang up together and steal food from us when we were winter camping. couldn't make a meal without a dozen of them in our faces. I really wish the trend of feeding them would pass. (even sadder is to see the super fat ones at the lodge during ski season - everyone feeds them french fries! so bad for them!)
