Across Canyonlands Hike
Heya --
I've got new video from an old trip: my 2007 hike across Canyonlands and the Abajos. The stretch from Green River to near Blanding is one of the longest stretches in the US w/o an intersecting paved road (over 100 miles as the crow flies.)
The two 15-minutes videos are more of a trip report and less snappy than my previous videos (sorry -- no music.) But... after so many years I wanted to get them posted. Here's part 1 of 2:

Love the TR
What do you do for a job that let's you take that much time off? Do they have any openings?

> Do they have any openings?
Actually they do... as I quit last year! So far the freelance route has been less profitable... but more worthy as I've had more time to travel! I create content for DVD/Blu-ray to try and get people to buy movies instead of renting. It's kinda a losing battle so I like to think about other options... while hiking across Utah!
Thanks,

Jamal,
Most excellent! I really enjoy living vicariously through your camera lens. Thanks for the inspiration.
What kind of tent are you using these days? It looked like you had a 2-man. I’d have thought that you would be one of the super light guys for the kind of distance you cover.

>What kind of tent are you using these days?
I currently use a FlyCreek 1-man. When I shot this video I just used what I had -- a 2-man REI tent. Slowly over the years I've lightened my load. But, I'm never going to go true ultra-light and just use a tarp as a cover. I enjoy having a full tent too much. My 7+ pounds of electronics also separates me from true ultra-light hikers!
>Do you and Buzz ever get together?
Nope -- I just know everyone on here via avatars and trip reports. Actually... I've met Tom. He babysat my Jeep on my very first Utah thru hike.

Thank you for sharing.
Your TR is .
How do you recharge your electronic devices batteries during the hike?

Heya zzyzx --
I use a rollable solar charger on my trips like this one:

Check out a recent thread in this group that discussed other options as well.
Mine is pretty good for me as it is fairly light and will power all my gear with a simple adapter. I usually put it out every other morning while I'm breaking down camp and getting ready to set out.
