0:00.0 | My name is Ryan Feeley, I'm a son of a U.S. Forest Service Engineer, lived together |
0:08.2 | till I was about 12 and my parents split, and I moved into the city, but grew up in |
0:13.8 | Eastern Oregon, Northeast Oregon, also lived in Central Oregon, Cascades, always hiking |
0:19.7 | with my dad, fishing. We did a lot of berry picking. We shared spaces with the Black |
0:25.6 | Bears, some of the two of us saw all kinds of animals. I know what's out there in the woods, |
0:32.1 | lots of elk. I mean, I'm pretty much seeing them all, Bobcat. With that, I've had three |
0:40.7 | or rather life changing experiences in my life out in the woods as an adult, and also |
0:47.4 | as a boy scout. I've done multiple 50 miles to 30 mile pack trips, three day to five day |
0:52.9 | trips, all throughout Oregon and Washington, Olympic National Forest. I've always liked |

1:43.5 | on a three day hike about 18 miles, and we got up into the shadow of Mount, and up into |
1:49.3 | this kind of swampy lake area for our first night to stay. And I'm sitting there, and everything |
1:57.1 | is really quiet. I mean, not even the mosquitoes are out buzzing around. I kind of thought that |
2:01.1 | was odd, you know, really marty area. And, you know, there's lots of cat tails, lots of |
2:07.3 | food stuff for any large animal, just live off of. So we're camping there, we're kind of |
2:13.5 | a good old time, put our little fire out, little half size fire, and then we go to sleep. And |
