Pt 1 "Moonscape Backpacking" by Nutnfancy

Another Nutnfancy Gear Testing Adventure with friend Cr0cket20. Our goal is a beautiful lake basin at about 9,500 feet and as a mid-June hike, it usually is a straight forward route. Not this time. We encounter a lot more snow than we'd thought. It mounds up to 20 feet in places and completely obscures the trail as we gain elevation. Luckily its compacted with the warm temperatures and snow shoes aren't needed. It does increase the difficulty. No matter. We joke and carry on with the higher energy levels that usually accompany the trip's beginning and make some good progress. Topics include our gear, wilderness trapping and spearing, knives, moose, and coming down a mountain in a frying pan.//////////////////////////Music licensed to TNP from Jason Shaw.
