Very cool! Ramen is the perfect camp meal if you add an egg, onion, peppers, meat, shelf stable tofu: especially when it is cold outside!

Finally a realistic hunting video on YouTube! This hunt looks like so many of my own backpack hunts. Thanks for posting.

I did this last year for mule deer. This is one of the most authentic videos I’ve seen on YouTube and really appreciate how much work you did. Good job

Appreciate that you posted the reality of how hard those unsuccessful late season hunts are. And that you did it DIY on your own. Not easy. Great inspirational video. Subbed.

Great video. I am a southern boy that just started elk hunting in Northern Idaho the past 3 years. It is definitely some of the hardest hunting i have ever done. But waking up in the mountains is something i live for now. My first time was about like this trip for you buy every year it has gotten better. Better gear, better prepared, ect. Its so worth it!!! Just being able to carry a gun is a perk. I am from South Louisiana and the hardest part for me is breathing in that thin air. Coming from sea level to 8 to 10,000ft sh.t talk about just walking with no gear i get totally out of breath. Talking and walking is out of the question. Keep the videos coming.
