    So cool to see the Famous Red Backpack start its Maiden Voyage 😁. The yellow BigA tent always looks like you're hiking with a baguette 🥖 in the back pocket 🤣 I just love your simple, compact pack system. Thanks again for another great video covering an area I never get to.

    Given the amount of snowfall in the Sierra Nevada this year I am quite surprised at the lack of it in this video. Regardless, another superb vid, very well done. And I'm being redundant here but thank-you again for not tacking on some unnecessary and detracting music, your vids are so wonderfully filmed that the finished product speaks for itself -- no soundtrack required. Finally -- if the two of you are not already considering it may I suggest a trek up to and across the Sonora Pass? Otherworldly beauty up there. Or would that require more time than what's available for your trekking this season? Again, thank-you kindly for another great video and I'm looking forward to the next one, and the one after that, and the one after that, and the one aft -- you get my point. Cheers!

    kw19193 thanks a lot!! No snow in the video since the snow line was above where I hiked during the time of year. I only got up to about 6,500 feet of elevation. I would absolutely love to get up to Sonara Pass - I saw pictures of it last year and it appears to be otherworldly! I have my sights set on a section hike of the JMT later this summer, and in between several overnighters...would like to get Sonora in at some point this summer if I can.
