Thanks Bryon(Brian?), I really enjoyed that trip. I love that countryside and hope to hike it one day. It's on my Bucket-List :o) Have you ever done pieces of the Pacific Crest Trail? I haven't perused your channel yet, but I think that would really be interesting for me. Think you can make it sometime? Thanks again.
@rainbowhiker Hi John. Yes, I've talked with my Brother-in-law about hiking the Pacific Crest trail. Neither of us is in any shape to tackle it now though. I would classify it as a walk for experts only. But maybe after we are both retired, we will have the time to really do a long walk. Certain parts of it are legendary for beauty. In particular The John Muir Trail is supposed to be magnificent! If I walk it, I will definitely want to share it with others too. Thanks for commenting. Brian.
@SerJahPhoto Hello SerJah. Thanks for your comment. Yes, it is wonderful to see more of this amazing World. As a photographer, you can appreciate that beauty more than most people. Cheers! Brian.
Ahh....it looks great, Brian - I love the golden quality to the light...or maybe that is the light on the golden landscape.
lol on your 'famous flatbreads'...you look so proud and happy about them and so you should!! :)
It always inspires me watching these videos of yours....just so relaxing and peaceful. I can sense how it kind of enables you to align with the best of life....Thank you.
Yes, it's half love of Nature, and half "my therapy". Much cheaper than Doctors and Medicines ; )
I'm one of those odd people, who feel overloaded just by regular living. So, I need this for balancing out the "too much" with a day or two of "too little". Hehe! : )
Oh, FYI: I've got two backpacks and two tents, and two sleeping bags, etc. Hint, Hint! Hehe! Sorry, didn't mean to scare you! Bri.
Two back packs?....I thought you would carry all my stuff, while I waltzed along the top of the ridges, singing and dancing about in a full flowing skirt looking pretty for a YT video......LOL :)
I havent forgotten about our potential rendezvous - just awaiting the universe to present the perfect opportunity for me to get over there....I think a day hike might be all I can manage to begin with - but we will see....lol :)
Hi Sunbeam. Yes! We can do a remake of "The Sound Of Music"! Did you see that movie? Ever wonder, like me, where the Orchestra and chorus were hiding? hehe!
It's still not a good time for a visit for me because Matt and I are still building his garage. And the Winter rains are here! But of course, we can do a day hike anytime! I hope you know I like to tease and joke alot, just to get a reaction! : ) Bri.
Thanks for sharing your enjoyment of backpacking! I don't actually know exactly when I'll be going to SF, I think maybe a couple months into the new year. Yet, whether backpacking is involved or not largely depends on whether my friends want to hike or camp on the trip! Hopefully they will:) I'll probably have other opportunities to get to SF area at some point in my lifetime... the great thing about nature is that it's always there when you need it!
Yes, not only is "Nature always there", but there is something for everyone... Wide open spaces like you see in this video, or Lush, moist, mossy-ferns and Redwood trees in the Valleys, or the Seashore with the ocean waves and sea-creatures! Plus, if you drive for half a day, you can be in the high pines, granite cliffs and snow! Brian : )
It's great to see another backpacking vid! I've been hiking these couple of months and now I'm thinking of backpacking at Big Basin. Time to collect some new gear.
Hi Victor! I'm happy to see after giving it a try, you have decided to go the next step further, and camp out! If you want to do a really simple Big Basin campout, the "Jay" trail camp is right in the Headqtrs area of the Park. You could hike around with your pack and when you got tired, go back to the Jay Camp, Setup Camp, and spend the night. That will give you a chance to get acquainted with your equipment and see if it suits you or not. It's been cold, so bring extra layers! : ) -Brian.
