If you've ever wondered what it's like to spend the night on a mountain in the Okanogan...This video is for you.

I've been deer hunting here for 50 years, eating sardines the way my dad taught me.  But we never spent the night on a high ridge together.  I was thinking about him a lot, though.  Hope you enjoy!

Thanks you guys.  Glad you liked it.  One thing I like about hiking off trail, you don't have to go that far to really get away!

Glad you liked it @OutHouse.  I hope those trekking poles work out for ya.  I tried them and my wrists and shoulders started acting up.  Sure took the load of my back.  I think a guy just need to use them lightly to prevent arm injuries.   :twocents:

Thanks @KFhunter  I'm new at narrating videos, but I liked it better than trying to come up with stuff to say at camp in front of the camera.  A lot more fun that way.

Trekking poles aw yes a politically correct term for cripple sticks. Use frequently.
