I hiked the 211-mile John Muir Trail #JMT in the Sierra Nevada this summer, and made a video montage of thirty-second clips from each day of my trip: https://youtu.be/KXIiEFTvQ64
30 Seconds a Day on the John Muir Trail (JMT)

Test pitched my new Hyperlite Mountain Gear Unbound 2P Tent. Very similar to the shelter we used on the #JMT 10 years ago and on last year's #TGOC which was a Zpacks Duplex. The Unbound has several improvements probably similar to the Duplex Zip, like zipped doors, magnetic door holders, guy line clips that can be easily adjusted & removed like a buckle and better ventilation.

Proper test this weekend.

This bridge Is critical for #PCT and #JMT hikers. In June this river can't be safely crossed. Especially THIS June. https://www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/article/pacific-crest-trail-bridge-broken-17908819.php

@tf @outdoorsbeth @AeonMach I think you are very wide of the mark re #JMT. They are not perfect, but a hell of a lot better than majority of their privately owned ‘sporting’ neighbours. Certainly much more enlightened in their approach to partnership with communities than most of the big conservation NGO’s.
*Consider the good work they have done with communities, going right back to the Knoydart foundation buyout in mid 90’s.

I’m surprised you see it like this. FWIW, here’s my take on the #JMT #Assynt #deer stushie response.

.…and in case you ask, Yes! I have read the Assynt Crofters Trust criticisms.

#Assynt #deer dispute: The myths and the facts

#Scotland’s ‘deer question’ rumbles on in the age of #land #regeneration, #BiodiversityCrisis, and #netZero ambition.

A good response from #JMT to calls from the hide-bound trophy hunting estate culture for preserving ‘traditional’ #landUse & #wildlife management practices.

Assynt deer dispute: The myths and the facts

Statement from the John Muir Trust to dispel some of the myths surrounding its decision to increase deer culls in Assynt following fierce opposition from a vocal minority demanding the status quo for sports shooting estates.

Sunrise at McClure Meadow, on Evolution Creek. Sequoia / Kings Canyon Nat’l Park. Hiked the North Lake to South Lake loop, and spent a couple of nights here. It’s among my favorite places in the Sierra. #kingscanyon #evolutioncanyon #evolutioncreek #mccluremeadow #sierranevada #northlaketosouthlakeloop #jmt #pct #photography
