trip video: Teton & Washakie Wilderness – Younts Peak, July 2022

This is a companion video to our upcoming trip report.

Meeting up with Richard and Mike, fellow backpackers from Backcountry Post forums, we were headed to Younts peak over the Wyoming high country along the Continental Divide. This was the second time I joined Richard on an adventure and since I’d survived the first, I thought I’d push my luck. Luck, in this case, can be interpreted as a few guests we met, 16 specifically.

You can our full detailed report of our hikes below in the index as they are posted.

trip video: Yellowstone National Park – Dunanda Falls, Bechler Canyon, & Shoshone Geyser Basin, August 2022

This is a companion video our Yellowstone backpacking trip report.

My brothers in law wanted to backpack for the first time and they wanted to do it in Yellowstone National Park. It was quite the ambitious idea, so I decided on a last minute trip to help lead them through. Thankfully, I was able to recruit Chris to help me chaperoning them. We spent 4 days and 3 nights covering the southwest corner of Yellowstone where we saw plenty of hot springs and waterfalls.

trip video: Ausangate Circuit, August 2018

I started to play around capturing some video footage in our recent trips. As such, I also added an video index page to this website and started a Youtube Channel, where I’ll upload my videos.

My first attempt of a video is now available of our August 2018 Ausangate Circuit backpacking trip to go with our Ausangate Circuit trip report.

Being my first attempt I have plenty to learn about what works and what doesn’t work in terms of video. I’d welcome any suggestions as well. If you like these, please subscribe to my Youtube Channel to let me know, thanks!
