    Hey Noah, awesome video as usual. I was just out myself in the Taryall reservoir area over 4th of July weekend. It was great! There weren't too many people out, the nights were cool and clear. Very peaceful and relaxing. Just sitting there, taking in the view, listening to the sounds, breathing in the air...good stuff! Glad you brought us along. Looks like you had some good food and good drinks too. I'm not sure life gets any better. Take care!

    Just a bit of advice on how to handle the Colorado campers that can't seem to find a site. When they ask if you mind if they camp next to you just say sure but tell them you have 5 to 10 other people coming up later from your nude camping club.

    Wonderful video as always, even without the Sun Fade! :) Love that area, last July I camped in the spot just down from yours that you pointed out. Ready to get back up there! One of these days I'm hoping we'll run across each other in the wild, I really want to see your awning set up in person, probably top of my list of things I want to get for my 4Runner. Keep forgetting to mention.. finally made it into Snowpack Taproom back in February, really dug it. Incredible pizza, and I might have spent a little too long back in the beer cooler room... :) Take care!

    Good times. It was helpful to see how you packed. I love using stainless for cooking. You can season it to minimize sticking. For cooking in a pot of boiling water, I read that if you add salt, do it once the water's boiling. Otherwise, adding salt to cold water and then bringing it up to a boil can cause pitting of the stainless over time. Knowing that will impress your wife! That's definitely a beautiful area. Thanks.
