I have a wife with several health issues and can not do my dream trips right now. Your videos give me a way to realize the dreams I have of backpacking in MY favorite place... The Sierras! Your videos through the years has been elevated by 10000 points. I also love the way you give all the details at the end! Truly awesome man!

I was researching some hikes to do in this area for my 50th birthday and watched your Chocolate Lakes video and was so impressed (and inspired) I watched this one too and decided to actually do this one as well. I ended up day hiking Big Pines Lakes Loop, Chocolate Lakes Loop, and this one out to Hungry Packer and Midnight Lakes in consecutive days October 16th, 17th, and 18th. (38 miles 8.5k elevation gain) The weather (I scored) was unseasonably warm (low 80's) and there wasn't a cloud in the sky the whole time I was there. They were the 3 BEST hikes I've ever done. I watched your videos over and over while I was doing "step ups" in my apartment as prep. They are very well done and totally inspiring my friend. Thank you.

Absolutely breathtaking! This is outstanding piece of art! What a beautiful cinematography! Love this!!!

right on...right on...right on...✌

I like that you give your opinion of the trail and the difficulty of the hike, etc

You really captured the beauty of this area. Your cinematography and storytelling standout amidst all the other hiker videos I've seen...and, I watch a lot of hiking videos :)) I solo hiked for a week in the Sierras this past autumn and now I can't wait to return this summer.

Thank you so much!

The behind-the-scenes portion was VERY helpful. Personally, I prefer no music in hiking videos. I love to hear nature's music: The wind, water, bird song and crunch of shoes on trail. But beautiful video. Thanks

Gorgeous area--Thanks for sharing! I'll add it to my hiking wishlist! 😊

Really enjoyed the video of the upper lakes in Sabrina Basin. I have been to Lake Sabrina but not the upper lakes. This is one of your best videos. Thanks.

Enjoyed the video and hoping to visit that area next year. Thank you for the information!

Beautiful sound of the creek

I did this exact trip five years ago, and seeing this video made me want to go back! The Sabrina Basin is so amazingly gorgeous. Also I remember not being able to find the trail to Midnight Lake when I was there, but maybe I was just tired lol. Great footage as always, and thanks for sharing!

Cheers mate! I haven't commented in quite a while but thought I'd take the time to say your videos are as bright, sparkling, and beautiful as always - would that we all had your photography skills (now don't let any of this go to your head). Too, congratulations on becoming a father, may your son's childhood be filled with light, love, and laughter. Cheers!

I want to hike the Sabrina Basin. So beautiful! Sierra Mountains are now on my list! Thanks for making this and other Sierra Mountain videos! Heavenly places! Beautiful movies. Great jobs!

Love it! I did Dingleberry as a day hike a couple years ago. Out and back and I was wiped!

That “Hungry Packer” lake is really something. I remember fishing Sabrina and watching packers heading up that trail thinking I gotta get up there. Well now I’m ready! Nice video.

Love the behind the scenes section. Love hearing your thoughts and experiences.

Thank you for making this video (& trek) this year. I only made it up to the Sierra once this year, and this made me smile. Sabrina basin is always lovely. I am looking forward to checking out HP Lake sometime. The views there look stunning.

Another great video. Love Hungry Packer Lake and if you don't want to go far for spectacular scenery, Blue Lake is a shirt and beautiful destination. Your comments on the campsites you spotted on the one lake was helpful, as well as advising against going off trail at the other lake, I don't remember which one, but even looking at the terrain on video it didn't look passable. Great tips.

Man I used to watch your videos like a year ago & then lost touch. Absolutely beautiful!! Heading up to Lone Pine n Bishop end of March but pretty sure won’t be able to hike the Sabrina Basin. Could still be packed with snow and the 168 may be closed 😞.

I’m gona be honest I’m a bit jealous😂. I was born in that area and grew up and graduated bishop high school. For us every thing was a day trip so I never really got to explore past Sabrina, south lake and north lake.

Great video never commented on your channel before, been watching your videos for awhile. Love the hikes. Definitely doing this one next summer if I can snag a permit. Like the trail tips at the end.

yes please keep doing these videos, love the format!

I wish I would live closer to California, one day I hope to visit some of these spectacular trails...Thanks

Great video. I think I may have ran into you awhile ago @ snowcreek in the valley.

I definitely enjoy this type of video! I'm amazed at how there are so many small, obscure lakes that are as gorgeous as any of the hugely popular destinations and yet you also get solitude! Thanks for sharing and inspiring me to try to get out more next Summer/Fall.

You call it Sabr-II-na, other bloggers call it Sabr-EE-na. I’ve always called it Sabr-EE-na. But I’ve never heard which is “official” (ie: what the locals, mostly, call it). Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. And it goes without saying that this was a really great video. I’m 89 so I’ll never get to see that lower Sierra country again. So many beautiful places in this state and this country. You would have to be rich and live for several hundred years to see them all. Thanks for this video.

We were just there and the locals say Sabr-ii-na. We asked. Also learned that correct pronunciation of Mono lake is like “oh no”, not like the Mono virus haha.

How beautiful

Simply wonderful! Incredible scenery and a fantastic film. You really found the perfect camping spot ;)

Looks like you were there at the perfect time; everything was very green! Do you recall what month this was?

Really beautiful segment of the Sierra. What month was this? Enjoy your narrative at the end keep it up and happy birthday!🎊🎉🎂

So beautiful- great scenery up there. My favorite area of the sierras. I'm not able to get up there much anymore, so really appreciate your videos. Thanks!

Love the video and hearing the explanation afterward. This makes me want to do this hike next summer and spend a few nights up there. I'm assuming I would need to get a wilderness pass?

Great video, but I can’t help but notice you stopped at the trailhead sign where it also has a sign stating “no drone zone” then a few moments later you have drone footage 🤔. I thought national parks and wildness areas are a no-no for drones?

Thank you and I appreciate your question. Drone operators are permitted to take off and fly from outside congressionally designated wilderness, and encourage all drone operators to follow FAA Regs.

Hi! im doing this trip in 2 weeks with 3 days 2 nights. Do you think it’s worth going all the way to hungry packer day 1 with all our gear to camp or set up a base camp at blue lake and explore lakes the next 2 days with day packs?

I'm curious what time of year this was. It can't be December. I'm going to guess this must have been during the summer, based on the wildflowers and the green grass. June or July perhaps.

nice work....I'm dieing for winter to be over and it hasn't even started. Your vids don't help. Go Sierras

i too echo everyone else's opinions in the comments, i love the vibe your videos give off, just chill and good ambient music with beautiful scenery. there are so many hiking videos , where 90% of the time, the camera is filled with the annoying person's face and voice , like show me some trees and water, bro!

also m confused as to what was the reason to cut those paracords while u were setting up the tent?
