“Hike Now, Play Later” by Nutnfancy (’Summer Snow’ Actual Pt 1)

Leave the push-button world behind and come on along for a Nutnfancy backpacking trip. It seems like it’s always a sacrifice to peel away from the world and make it out to my wilderness places. Messages pile up, phones go unanswered, emails fill the inbox, and careers are put aside for awhile. But it’s always worth it and it creates one of those special memorable experiences. I do my best in this series to share it with you. As I mention in many of my vids, a wilderness backpacking adventure is one of my top recommended ways to make memories with your friends and family, instill wilderness confidence, learn about your gear (and yourself), and to “depussify” your children. That’s because it’s hard work and requires planning and lots of effort. Here we hike in about 7 miles on what soon becomes a snow covered, hidden trail. As shown, wading and post holing through 4 foot snow banks will wear you out, especially at high elevations. The upside to to this difficulty was the complete isolation we quickly achieved on this trip; we saw no one else in the three days we were up there and we owned the basin (though in warmer days this is a very high use area). With a steady but deliberate pace we reach a gorgeous high mountain lake, still partially frozen from the long winter. It is serene and beautiful. On the trail in this Part 1 of “Summer Snow Actual” I discuss trekking poles, backpacks, boots, gaitors, teaching your kids to hike, dog training, and other backpacking subjects …

Angels Landing – A Hike Through Zion National Park

“Walking With Angels” Angels Landing – Zion National Park, Utah On August 3, 2007 – myself, Jonathan Paula, and close friend Ezra Horne embarked on a trek straight up the side of one of Utah’s most beautiful mountains – Angels Landing. Located in pristine Zion National Park near the south-western corner of Utah. We filmed this entire video ourselves using a small tripod often doubling back to get the necessary shots. (Yes, I did indeed climb up Walter’s Wiggle twice) Some more info: en.wikipedia.org Shot & Edited by: Jonathan Paula With assistance from: Ezra Horne An ideo Production – © 2008. #42 – Premium Most Viewed (This Month) – Travel & Events #92 – Top Rated (This Month) – Travel & Events #28 – Most Discussed (This Week) – Travel & Events #6 – Premium Most Viewed (This Week) – Travel & Events #16 – Most Viewed (This Week) – Travel & Events #22 – Top Favorites (This Week) – Travel & Events #20 – Top Rated (This Week) – Travel & Events #23 – Most Discussed (Today) – Travel & Events #51 – Premium Most Viewed (Today) #1 – Premium Most Viewed (Today) – Travel & Events #3 – Most Viewed (Today) – Travel & Events #3 – Top Favorites (Today) – Travel & Events #7 – Top Rated (Today) – Travel & Events #60 – Most Responded (Today) – Travel & Events
Japanese Sunday Hike ???
 |
A free Sunday means run away to the wilds of the Kansai hills!! With June comes Japan’s rainy season, so there aren’t too many more nice weekends to go hiking. I just went for a quick hike on Mt. Maya ???which is part of the Mount Rokko chain. It was a pretty chilled out hike as you can see. Some nice little shrines, houses, waterfalls and other things along the way. Yes…another hiking vid and I have to proudly admit that I love hiking. So far, from what I gather and have seen…Japan is a pretty damn nice place to hike and enjoy the outdoors! I’m hoping to get to Mount Fuji in mid-July and in the early Fall…maybe the Japan Alps in the Nagano or Shizuoka areas! We’ll have to see. BTW…if anyone out there has some good Japan hiking resources (aka. links, book titles, etc) please drop me a message or leave a comment. If you like the vid…please RATE and COMMMENT and if you haven’t already…SUBSCRIBE!!!!
