[ReeperzOutdoors]

Love backpacking in the snow......Great video

[DennyRec]

I liked to music with the pictures. The snow is very common in the mid west, reminds it's coming this year. The pictures were all excellent. The beauty that Heavenly Father created for us to see and enjoy. Thank you for sharing it with us. Have a great day.

[uhmman1]

The music along with the nature shots reminds me of how if we just let go of all the insignificant things in our life's. That you soon realize that life is what truly matters! life and how we use what little bit that we have available to us.

[gcollin75]

You should watch my 3 part video series on the 5 C's of survival...a new way of thinking about the basic survival needs broken down into some very simple concepts.

[Kactuskid7]

Going to take a very similar trip this spring break up around snow lake in the Gila. Nothing like real wilderness eh?

[JMead272]

butteeeful. nice presentation! chapter in the book of life, no? Sweet experience! one question. did you pack all your food orr was there resorces? did you see much animal life? I watch manny vids and not verry manny top to look at the animal life..

[TheBgcheez]

Beautiful scenery thanks for posting was feeling locked in today before watching this.

[mr0bobby]

I always thought that if I were to move from the Northwest, New Mexico might be a good place to go. This video just reinforces that idea. Looks like a great place for hiking.

[WaRB1RD217]

great video! thanks.

[bushcraftourway]

35 miles in 3 days? that it? :P

on the 9th of april me and some mates are doing 69 miles in 3 days

[azurenscens]

@bushcraftourway well aren't you just special. what do you want? a medal? or perhaps a cookie would suffice.

[bushcraftourway]

@azurenscens i would love a cookie :o

[eight9three]

@bushcraftourway why such rush?

[bushcraftourway]

@eight9three suppose i am being rather... un othodox... these climates are farrrrr colder than what we walk in, i should immagion

but we have fun doing what we do... and where VERRY competeative

[324590]

Great Video and great music!

[satirycon7]

how do you follow the trail when it is covered in snow?

[CedrikTheManiac00]

ist what is tricky, when backpacking in those temperature you make sure you know the region or have EXCELLENT map or gps with spare battery...every year we lose tourist who die of frost lost on hiking trails...pretty sad

[renshumainichi]

take your clothes off when you cross man! jesus that looks like it sucked, lol. good times

[CatfishMan43]

did you have snow shoes?

[hickorybend444]

it looks like your using a msr twin peaks or twin sisters, if you are how do you like it

and would you recommend it?

[vanderslagmulders]

I sure hope that´s a hot spring at 0:59

but i´m afraid it isn´t.

[kwackenheim]

Great video. I hope you enjoyed Jordan Hot Springs. Must have been tough following the trail at some points with all the snow.

[azsnosk8r]

BRRRRZZZ... looks chilly! I remember that year in the gila was crazy. Late snow and lots of runoff. I did Trotter up to hummingbird saddle and down to Redstone Park that same year in May and there was still lots of snow! Did you guys stop by Jordan hot spring on your way out Middle fork? I of my all time fave spots! Nice work

[BoliFX78]

Simply Magnificent! Great job.

[uswdkb42]

Great pictures, and a really nice song choice too! So many people here listen to latino music, but in the wilderness areas like that, I just love some nice classical music. I live near the Jemez mountains now. I love NM.

[adventuresocal]

Very, very nice.  What are the GPS coordinates of the trailhead?

[rezzoro7]

Wonderful

[technogearhead]

nice pics but video would have been better.

[CrazyTaileZ]

I backpacked Whitewater to Hummingbird Saddle and then back down the east and south fork trails this spring 2008 with a friend for 4 nights 5 days and it was beautiful!! There is even water from springs at the top of the 9,000 and 10,000FT peaks and its all water filter friendly! I'm going back next spring in 2009 for more backpacking fun!

[alancar2]

did i see a red cloud 5600 backpack? nice vid btw cool rock formations

[Orctrist]

What do you do in case of bears or cougars?

[cowplop4587]

nothing leave them alone they just want to steal all of your food lol

[potheadj]

that was great

[sharaldson]

Thanks for the vid. Nicely done!

[slmarks8]

I hate you, i wish i was there. looked like soo much fun

[ilovebackpacking]

I agree with you, that looks like tons of fun. The last backpacking trip I went on was in sept. I am REALLY looking forward to the next one!!! Backpacking is one of the funnest things to do!

[DFreshter]

Are you the person building the resort there?

[ilovebackpacking]

What do you mean?

[LibertyFlyer]

I really enjoyed your photo log. I have a place near the Gila Wilderness and am planning on building a vacation/retirement home there in the not too distant future to take advantage of its proximity to do much of the same as you've done.

[gnome11]

We used to backpack in the Gilas in the 70's. Several times in the snow. Mostly Hummingbird Saddle and Whitewater Baldy and Redstone(?) Canyon. Could always catch a few trout at the canyon. Great place. Used to be some nice folks in Mogollon, that would invite us in when we came through. Thanks for sharing.

[bpackerguy]

Very nice video. What time of the year did you go. I would love to backpack the Gila.

[webquacks]

Nice

[Tellyourstorydrifter]

Whats the Music?

[Tellyourstorydrifter]

Silver City can be a fun town.

[dcsolorunner]

I almost went to school outside the Gila(silver city)

[storyofcrea]

Beautiful!

[jpamusher]

Looks like an excellent place to hike! I`ll have to try it sometime if dogs are allowed.
