The Devils Path (Pic Heavy)

KingMC KingMC I have given that some thought. When I unass my pack I wanted the knife on my person. I do like the concept and im glad you put the thought back into my head. Maybe a inverted rig on my left shoulder strap and a folder in my right pocket. This hike was long and grueling so I was shaving ounces. On short 10-15 mile climbs at normal inclines I slip the Patrol into my trekking pole slot on my pack. And carry the 16 in a dangler. I've seen some of your hiking pics and your an animal with the weight you carry :thumbsup: Impressive.

To be fair I don't ever go very far, when I'm on longer dayhikes I do more like what you do; it's the overnight camp-outs where I pack more but if I actually had to hike it for more than a couple miles I'd cut down on a lot of stuff. Less beer, for sure.
 
Excellent trip Tanker! The terrain looks pretty treacherous as it is, but it looks like there's a lot of moisture there. Makes for some slippery rocks! Thanks for sharing brother, that's a hardcore trek right there!

Thanks Brother. It was definitely Infantry training weather
 
Now were talking good stuff there. Looks steep, wet, and slippery. Had to be a tough hike. Sorry for your loss on the 16. Got any molle on your pack, or do you want to keep the 16 on your belt?

I like keeping It on my belt. I dump my pack sometimes and wander around. Plus bears usually want whats in my bag and not me. I will un-ass that pack in a heart beat lol
 
Congrats! Proud to see another Beckerhead achieve their goals! Super sad about the 16 though, however, I believe that when fate robs you of a knife, it is only so you can get a cooler one later on down the road. Great thread, and keep up the good work!

Great photos, thanks for sharing your trip with us; my knees started to hurt as soon as I looked at the pictures...

Thanks Swamp. Knees were the #1 injury with thigh cramps being the 2nd that took out 5 of our 8. The descents on uneven rocks took its toll plus the occasional fall. I have mastered the art of plopping onto my Arse to save my knees and elbows.
 
Beautiful trip. Looks like you guys had a great time. Eventhough you lost a knife.... I really enjoyed your pics. Thanks for sharing them and letting us tag along.
 
Only a matter of time. A new member, a new post......... Look what I found on a hike.......what's it worth?

Congrats on conquering the tough hike. Good for you.
 
Man, oh man! That looks like a helluva hike Tanker!
Congrats and thank you for the truly awesome pics. Looks amazing.
