I had wanted to trek the ridge line of Lake Mountain for some time, it is a desert mountain with no water on the ridge at all, no streams, or ponds. To make the most of it I figured to do it in August at the height of the hot season. Part 1 here is my journey up the ridges to the flatter top region. The next video Part 2 is my camp on top, in the nicest area of the mountain, and the descent. I use our gear, the PSSL, Liner, 1 Person Cookset, Firebox Nano Stove, the small PST. A lot of my eating is piecemeal on the trail. I knew doing it this time of year and in the way I was doing the trek would be difficult for me, but I wanted to do it for experience, to learn by doing. Follow my progress through these two videos. Product info on gear used in the Trek available at http://wildernessinnovation.com
