@TimKStanton Thank you, Tim! Went well overall. Learned some lessons and I’m sure I will attempt it again.

@TimKStanton I learned I need a warmer sleeping bag, which I now have, and there were a few things I brought that were too much weight. Full size tripod and bear can were the main things. The bears should be hibernating anyway.

@andrewbriscoe
Yeah, a full-size tripod seems way too bulky and heavy to take on any long distance trip unless photography is the first priority of the trip. I have been attempting, with some success, at using one of my trekking poles as a make-shift stand for my phone. Works ok about half the time.

@TimKStanton @andrewbriscoe Seems like there should be a way to use tent poles as a tripod. Found these discussions: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultralight/comments/tfrs2c/ultralight_photographers_how_do_you_use_your/ and https://outdoors.stackexchange.com/questions/6946/create-ultra-light-camera-tripod-w-mini-tripod-and-3-tent-poles

@msbellows
Thanks for the links. I see that making them into an actual tripod involves lashing them together. I could see doing that if I am stationed somewhere taking lots of pics. But, when taking just a few pics and not having much time for setup (such as a quick selfie at a summit), I find use of a single trekking pole reasonable (although sometimes I can't stick it into the ground which may be solid rock).

@TimKStanton @msbellows This has been working very well for my GoPro. https://gopro.com/en/us/shop/mounts-accessories/shorty/AFTTM-001.html?srsltid=AfmBOooUV3Bx54GJv3KYy_w-GvMBrb3yhv3qrRY5LM5SMW44RSNHiIdC

@andrewbriscoe
That looks nice. I have a similar one with flexible legs for my phone. I was using the trekking pole so I could take the photo well above the ground (~45" above ground) and avoid having ground-level stuff get in the photo.

@andrewbriscoe Nice, how'd your backpack go?
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from GPJohnston@mastodon.social
@GPJohnston I was colder than I would like but I survived! A warmer sleeping bag has already arrived in the mail so should be better next time.

@andrewbriscoe good deal! Now, I am unofficially assigning you your next backpack: the #WashingtonCoast! I’m so excited for you. 🫣
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from GPJohnston@mastodon.social
@GPJohnston I really do want to do it and I still have a valid Olympics pass. I’ll keep an eye on the weather. 😀 I’m still unsure about logistics and which section would be best. But, I’m sure I would have a good time just picking a trailhead, getting permits, and exploring.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from andrewbriscoe@mastodon.social
@andrewbriscoe I would suggest an out and back for your first backpack there. You’ll get a good sense for what it’s like, no need to spot a car. Most of my backpack trips there have been out and backs. The usual drill is to get in 5-7 miles the first day, set up a base camp and then next day do a long day hike in the same direction. Camp another night, or two, and then back out. I’d suggest the south section, going south from Third Beach. The scenery is mind blowing.

@GPJohnston @andrewbriscoe make sure you've got a tide table!
the trailhead off the Oil City road is also great
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from sarae@ecoevo.social
@sarae @andrewbriscoe of course. Only drawback of starting at Oil City is five miles of headland hiking from Hoh Head to Mosquito Creek. Back in the day on a minus you could hike the beach for 3-4 of those those miles. But a slide took out the roped climb on the north side of the head. Those are super isolated beaches because you need a minus.

@GPJohnston @sarae @andrewbriscoe We did the trip North from Oil City a couple years ago. It was amazing the whole way, but the first scramble around the headlands at Diamond Rocks was tough even with a minus tide.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from btrinen@social.seattle.wa.us
@btrinen @sarae @andrewbriscoe Yeah, I spent an hour and a half sitting on a muddy bank there once waiting for the tide to drop. Found a glass fishing float just south of there once too. I need to go hike that beach again, haven't been in maybe 15 years.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from GPJohnston@mastodon.social
@GPJohnston @btrinen @sarae Hopefully I could make it down to experience part of the headland from Third Beach. Not sure if that area has them but would definitely like to experience the famous ropes and ladders.

@andrewbriscoe @btrinen @sarae You will have headlands up the kazoo starting at the south end of Third Beach. 👇

@GPJohnston Heck yeah! 😍

@andrewbriscoe @GPJohnston @sarae I really enjoyed the headland trails. There are some amazing patches of old forest up there.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from btrinen@social.seattle.wa.us
@GPJohnston @andrewbriscoe oh dang, that's no fun
I want to say there's a way to drop down off state forest roads to the north there but it's the kind of thing I'd ask a local about before trying
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from sarae@ecoevo.social
@sarae @andrewbriscoe yes off the Goodman Mainline, I took it once and bushwhacked down Mosquito Creek to the coast. But you can still hike the coast from Oil City, it’s just that five miles are up on the headland, not on the beach, it’s fine just a bit monotonous.

@GPJohnston I still have the map open in a tab. That sounds like a good plan to me. I own the Far Out guide for the PNT which covers that section and gives advice about tides. Thank you! Bookmarking this and adding it to my notes so I don’t forget.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from andrewbriscoe@mastodon.social
@andrewbriscoe My book notes every point for which you need a low tide to get around and the level, the descriptions of the three backpack stretches on the Olympic wilderness coast are quite detailed. Custom Correct maps for the coast note low tide points too. You should note the times of both high and low tides for each day you're there. Don't count on cell coverage everywhere. 👍

@GPJohnston Very good advice. Looks like Toleak Point would be a good place to camp then explore south of there. Haven’t looked at the book yet but seeing 4/4.5 tides. Will definitely do more research before going.
=> More informations about this toot | More toots from andrewbriscoe@mastodon.social
@andrewbriscoe Toleak is a terrific place to camp, I've spent some magical days there, lots of stories. Strawberry Point and Scotts Creek too, all fabulous. If you can, go during daytime minus tides, it makes everything easier and you can access some beaches that are otherwise inaccessible, like the ones I mentioned south of Mosquito Creek. Plus you can explore tide pools around the sea stacks.
