Favorite Adventure You’ve Done

[bigbassin]

Like the title says, what’s y’all’s favorite adventure you’ve ever been on?

I’m assuming for most here it’s going to be a hunt, but it could be a backpacking trip, trip to another country, life milestone, etc.

Bongo and forest sitatunga hunt in the equatorial jungles of southeastern Cameroon, Africa. May 2024.

Best trip Ive ever made was 13 days in the Wind River Range (WY) with my 19 year old son. Off the grid, self supported, covered about 75 miles at high elevation, and fished our way through the whole trip. All those campfire evenings, working together on navigation, and side-by-side tent time were priceless. I wouldn't swap it for a dozen trips to Paris.

Holy cow man! Is there a write up somewhere? Can we at least get the cliff notes version here?

2 week back pack hunts in Westland NZ with a recurve.

Another memorable trip was the Arnhemland coast by boat from Nhulunbuy to Elcho Island in the Northern Territory. Fishing and hunting buffalo and pigs.

Wow good question. I've been blessed with a lot. Probably packrafting through central British Columbia on a river that had probably never been run and then backpacking over Mt. Edziza (an extinct volcano) is right up there with my favorite hunting trips. Actually I did a bunch in the Canadian Rockies for a while.

Went up to NW North Dakota last september to chase whitetails. got to see a moose for the first time and kill my first deer with a bow! pretty amazing experience out in that open country.

Hiking the narrows in zion national park with my wife was also amazing!

Winds are a very special place.

Buddy and I did a huge loop in the Winds with the goal of setting foot onto as many glaciers as possible in 2017. We summited Fremont and Gannet Peaks (1st and 3rd highest in the State), and traversed 5 different glaciers. We went in mid July, which is early for that country. Once off trail, we lived in crampons for most of it. Had a segment of 5 days once we left the main access trail where we never saw another human. 8 day trip total. For added challenge, we did manual navigation for the duration.

Noun: A perilous and uncertain undertaking

I spent 6 weeks in a canoe northern Canada. Saw 4 people: 2 in a truck when we went under a "major highway" about halfway through the trip and two more when we snuck past a "town" 5 weeks along. Still has me convinced that there is no real wilderness in the lower 48.

"There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games." (but the author had an unsafe firearms handling incident, so...)

I'd add solo yacht racing. +1 @Phaseolus ... 35-ft is kinda small for that stuff, no?



Also, children. Definitely an adventure there.
