5 Day Solo Wilderness Backpacking Trip | Day 1 Vallecito Trailhead

I'm happy to share this solo Colorado wilderness journey with you. We start in the Vallecito Trailhead parking lot where we examine our carryout load before hitting the trail. We make note of a warning sign saying "Bridge Out" and sign the register. We hike 9 miles north up the Vallecito trail, crossing water a few times, before establishing camp just after the junction sign with the Johnson Creek trail.

    Man...been making my way through your videos. You have a refreshing take on this sort of travel....its the way you document it. I hope you dont give it up, but getting traction on youtube can be tuff. Good work. Rooting for you.

    BTW found my way to your channel by way of KZread randomly offering one of your Wind River videos up. KZread might be pushing your content.

    Been going through some of your older videos that I missed. This was a really inspirational video, bro. How did you learn so much about hiking and stuff? I would have made it to that first creek, sat down, ate all the Snickers and went home. Thanks for taking us on this hike with you, it was awesome.

    I was inspired to hike by a KZread channel called "my own frontier" I just bought the things and went for it. I took a week off to mend my back injury, never gave up on my plan, and came back to hike. I'm actually spending a night in Salina Kansas tonight. Forced off I70 because of snow. Anyways... not too far from OK. Merry Christmas 🎅

    @@ericcomp7032 Yeah, I heard they were having snow north of us (nothing here, just cold wind. We go through Salina every time we drive to Denver -- we take I-35 north to Salina, hang a left, and go on to Denver. Stay warm up there and Merry Christmas to you.

    Great video. Good commentary. Excellent footage. No annoying music. Would be better if you kept the camera on the views & not your face. Keep up the good work!

    You ain't wrong about none of that. Thx for your comment 👍 I'll be releasing the remaining videos from this trip every Saturday. This Saturday I climb to Columbine pass, the most beautiful spot this poor Pennsylvania boy ever laid eyes on. See you there?

    I love them, especially for descending. I have about 300 miles on mine and hardly much wear. I feel like I can get 1000 miles of rugged trail out of them easily. You're going to love them too.
