Hi Yair,
Glad you liked it. Making videos of my trips has sort of become a hobby of mine, its part of the fun of hiking now. I actually dropped RX100 camera in a river while packrafting earlier this year, I spent a week drying it out and it works perfect…I was ecstatic that i didn’t need to buy a new one!
As for tent selection, I brought my Scarp because I figured the weather would be nasty, and it was, but the campsites in the lower elevation are farily protected and honestly, you could get by with much less as long as you planned your campsites appropriately and went in the summer months. Camping on any of the high passes would require something more substantial. I actually saw a Hexamid at Emstrur in the valley, so someone was using one, but not sure where they were going from there. I only have a Scarp and a Refuge X for tent selections, and the Refuge X is not suitable for windy conditions so didn’t really have a choice.
I met more than one person out there that was doing multi week hikes across the country – also a ton a bikers making the loop around the ring road, which would also be incredible. I was so jealous, the place is amazing.
