Where do you sleep?

If you're in thr backcountry with a tent, people don't realize how dangerous this is. Especially without a firearm or phone

I slept in a tent. It snowed the last 3 days with lots of winds, but never really felt like I was in danger. Had to do some route finding at the end though cause the trail was completely covered by a foot of snow

Mirin hard. Also, any reason in particular you don’t carry a sat phone or something to call for aid in case something unexpected happens? Or am I just coddled?

Srs, I don’t do stuff like this so I’m a noob. Just buy an iPhone 14. They have emergency sat feature. It already saved some dude in Alaska.

It dipped to -10C at night, and would be just around freezing temp during the day.

Yeah, I stayed at the first campsite for couple nights and did day hikes from there. The rest of the days I would set up camp, sleep, and pack up to hike to another spot in the morning

Gorgeous pics. What was it like, not seeing another human the whole time? Was there a lot of total silence? I’ve heard from others that do this type of stuff that you can hear your own heartbeat after a while.

I probably should invest in a sat phone. Have done a bunch of trips like this and never felt the need to carry it, but it’s pretty stupid not to carry one. Didn’t know that iPhone 14 had that feature

I was talking to myself the whole time lol. Most days were just spent walking, climbing and scrambling, and then by the time I set up camp and had food, I’d just be wanting to crawl inside the sleeping bag and pass out. It was very quiet, except for the winds at night flapping the tent fly constantly

It looks dead and horrible.

However, I would LOVE to see the Northern Lights.

How was that experience?

They’re underwhelming from naked eyes. Looks great when you decrease the shutter speed on the phone

I have read that and it makes me super sad.

From Philadelphia, I could drive to where you can see the lights and there's even special camp sites, that are expensive, where you can stay.

I feel like I have bad luck when it comes to fun and I would pay a lot and it would end up cloudy. Then, I read that the lights are actually camera tricks, like you said, and not something you can really see with clarity.

Thanks for confirming.

If I travelled all that way and saw a little twinkle, I would be pretty sad.

Not sure about the exact weight but it was pretty heavy, mostly from the water and food. I got a good pack that sits nicely on my hips so my shoulders and traps were never really sore

That is so awesome! Love the pics and so jelly! I got to see some of the Yukon when I was on Alaskan cruise back in 2018 and it was breathtaking.
