Nice report. Loved seeing the pictures of the basin. My first backpacking experience was to Leg Lake and over the pass to Stough Creek before returning home on the same trail you took. Nice job! - Kyle

If referring to my post, I was saying Raccoon to what Nick posted last year in the photo above. 100% agree that the second photo I quoted from Perry is coyote. Sorry for the confusion. I'll edit the post and clear it up. - Kyle

Pretty certain this is Raccoon. ^^^^ Coyote. ^^^^

I've done a week long hike starting at the BMT, down through the canyon, and out at the HWY 12 bridge twice now. Both trips were finishing up right about this time of the month. 1. I'll leave this to others to speculate on. 2. I carried my trash with. With this being a canyon, it seems to...

Definitely happens to me at some point during each trip. As other's have said, it's typically once I am tired or exhausted after a long day and I'd rather just lay on my couch at home. A podcast I listen to often discusses a subject similar to this. When you are going through a really crappy...

Thanks for the report!

No worries, I figured that might be the case and wanted to spread the word. On the bright side, at least they were tasty and you enjoyed them! :) - Kyle

I'm assuming you are talking about Tiger Trout? If so, in the future please try to refrain from harvesting them. Tiger Trout are a Brook/Brown Trout hybrid and are unable to reproduce. They are often stocked by the state for anglers to pursue and are sought after for their large size and...

What an amazing trip! Thanks for the report!

I have had a black bear come through camp in the Southern Winds near Valentine Lake. Definitely recommend hanging your food. - Kyle

I have this one. It says it can charge my phone 7 times, but I think it could do more than that. While it is heavy, I took it along on a backpacking trip earlier this year where I used my phone for navigation and pictures. After recharging both my phone and my friends phone each night (5...

Below is an old cabin in the Medicine Bow National Forest. An archaeologist from the park told me they believe it was built in 1904 but had no more information on it.

Thanks for all the help guys. We will start with the wal-mart near SLC, and if they for some reason don't have it, then I'll move on to the next location. I guess wal-mart didn't occur to me because here in KC, I don't think they have a reason to carry isobutane. Thanks, Kyle

Thanks, that works. Should have thought of that. I feel dumb now, ha.

A friend and I are flying into SLC on Saturday evening and will be heading down to the Escalante area first thing Sunday morning. Because we are flying in, we can not bring isobutane with us for the Jetboil. Does anyone have any recommendations on locations where we could stop along the way to...

While turkey hunting in Nebraska the last few years I have been able to watch/listen to Prairie Chicken dance on their lek. It is definitely a neat sight and the sound they make during the mating ritual can be heard from well over a mile away. Cool pictures!

I'm with Jackson... That stream must have changed greatly! We estimate that the depth of the pool would at least be to our heads. To get around it, my friend went through without his pack while I crawled on the ledge above and lowered our packs down to him. I then followed him through...

I take one with me on every trip, no matter the temps. If you simply wear it around you neck in chilly weather, it does wonders at keeping your body heat in. (It is awesome for those chilly moments when you first crawl out of the tent on a crisp morning). And in warm or windy weather I like to...

Good to see a fellow Nebraskan! I grew up in Nebraska but moved to Kansas City after college 3 years ago to be a structural engineer. I feel pretty lucky with the job I have as it gives me the freedom to spend a couple weeks every year hiking/hunting/fishing.

I see you have already picked your filter, but just to add for other's reference... I have tried the Sawyer mini and wasn't a fan like others above. But this past year I tried the Katadyn BeFree and I couldn't have been more happy. It will definitely be my go-to filter moving forward. Easy to...
