Backpacking off Trail – Part 1
Opening with the hike in and some discussion of maps and techniques using them. When I settle on a place for basecamp after some bushwacking off trail, it’s time to hang the hammock you guys voted for me to take on this trip.

As I watch the video I realize you aren't actually hiking across country but on a domestic trail. Back to my search for true exploring.
First time finding a youtube video that someone actually hikes like I do. I haven't watched it yet so I hope it is good
😍
Can you tell us WHERE in the Uinta Mountains you are at? I think it is just stunning country and so so beautiful but there are 40,000 stunningly beautiful spots in those mountains. Where are those two snow-covered peaks at minute 6:56 in this video for instance? Are you trying to keep these areas all to yourself or something? Kinda like the guy who has an awesome spot at which to hunt deer every year and he won't say a word, not one, about where he goes? C'Mon! Tell us where you are at please.
Hey man I love your content! I'm starting a youtube channel similar to yours and would like to know if you have ever gotten in trouble or had some type of warning for creating a camp fire in a non STATE designated area. HOPE NOT, thanks for your answer.
Is that in utah?
I'm looking for places to practice bushcraft. I am new to it and had tons of trouble finding a good location to practice. Can you recommend any places?
Awesome vid and without all the Yappin from a Nuttin.
Great video, thanks for the entertainment.
Enjoyed your videos , check us out we are in the Smokey Mountains TN.
I agree , Great Videos My Friend
Great vid and awesome views!
I've never tried it…but have always seen people cut a toggle to secure the marlin spike knot. Can you not just hook the carabiner through the toggle loop, and forego the toggle altogether?
6:27 That's what he said.
Awesome video as always….you rock. I remember commenting about a year ago asking If you ever used a hammock, and related how I loved mine, now look at you.
You didn't say what program you were discussing, or I missed it.
What pack is that? Badlands?
YEAH MAN! I didn't think you were going to get out of the hammock there for a minute : )
I can't remember if we talked about this or not, but I do the same cutting my toggles (marlin spike hitch) and I hang a whoopie sling over it. Like you I ditched the biners that came with my eno. I actually did away with the black cord too. I left it in place, tied a whoopie on, then pulled it through. It's a simple set up, hammock with a whoopie on each end. I doubled the whoopie through twice on each end for more strength. Been using that way for years, no issues and saves a little weight.
I did a little vid on it if you want to see it.

Here we go to part 2!
1:56 had to go back and get the camera haha
What hat are you wearing?
These are my favorite videos of yours for sure, I imagine they are your favorite to film as well. What part of Utah do you typically do you backpacking?
I'm due for an overnight adventure soon. Maybe my next filmed trip I'll do a hammock setup…

Ah the Rockies, aspen, pine, clear streams, and uneven ground. That's where hammocks come in.
One thing I never really considered concerning hammock camping, is the advantage of not needing level ground. Seems that could open up quite a bit of possibilities in unusual sites.
Man, Crocket, when is part 2 dropping?
Thanks Crocket! You made me laugh when you crossed that stream. Dude, the quality of your videos has reached crazy status these days. The work that you put into them shows and you're just a great dude, to top it off.
P.S. Remind me not to click on a part 1 Crocket video unless part 2 is already posted. It's going to drive me nuts waiting for the next piece. Maybe tomorrow! 🙂
What pack do u use ?
I noticed your boots. What brand? Salomon? Do you like them? If not, can you recommend better ones?
yessss! a backpacking video! Can't wait for part 2!
I don't understand why these vids don't get more views…keep at 'em Cr0cket. Consistently entertained
loved the video man and the music. Can't wait for pt 2. I'm still trying to play with my GoPro but it looks like you have it all figured out : )
You run with a SAT phone or do you cell service there? or neither?
You think you could do a video about your DIY suspension system and how you set it up? No need to get out and do it, just an explanation. Thanks, keep up the great work brother.
Looks like a lot of fun, great video. cant wait for part 2.
Excellent production quality as usual Crockett! Real professional looking stuff! I really like the area you're in there; aspen is so nice and clean to work with eh? …Doesn't burn real well unfortunately, unless dried. Can't wait for part 2!
Beautiful place for backpacking! Gave your vid a like.
Glad to some hiking/camp setup videos again.
I see a pair of Salomon Quest boots. I love mine. Essential piece of gear.
I love your video's! It's like watching Nat Geo great looking country! Thanks so much for sharing.
What a great trip! Looking forward to pt 2.
Thought you were gonna doze off. I could feel the relaxation of getting in that hammock.
