Spent 10 days off-grid on Hardscrabble Mountain in Colorado.

There were four of us in our group. My brother filled his bear tag. Another guy had an elk tag, but we never could get within range of a legal buck. I went as the designated camp cook and bushcraft/survival specialist.

On day 2, the mountain dumped 12 to 18 inches of snow on us and temperatures dropped to single digits. It became a great opportunity to test our skills, gear, and fortitude.

Looks like an amazing time!

first tracks!! 🙏

Yeah, we were the first to walk that part of the mountain after the snow.

Nice. What backpack you using there?

It's made by Frost River. I don't think they make that particular model any more, but they have many similar packs and other canvas products.

That site is dangerous. Spent 5 minutes on it and wanted 10 things lol

Cheers.

That looks awesome

Is that a young bear cub?

Conservation agent guessed it to be 2-3 years old, female, not quite to breeding age.

Bears over 1 year are legal to harvest.

She was hiding out in the brush on the very edge of public land within a half mile of a housing development and a golf course. Lots of potential to become a nuisance animal if she hadn't already.

The people on nostr are so awesome.
