CROSSWINDS: Traversing America’s Best Wild Mountain Range [VIDEO]

After more than a year of planning, a friend and I spend a week on a backpacking traverse of Wyoming’s Wind River Range on foot. We experience Incredible scenery, temperamental weather, debilitating injuries, and more. It was the trip of a lifetime! (Click here if you can’t see the video below.)

Note that there are bonus videos on Adventure Know-How for this video! One is a complete rundown of the gear and food I took on the trip, and the other is a rundown of the fishing gear I took.
