I've been camping my whole life from campers to tents to hammocks, I love it all with Land Between the Lakes being my most common stomping ground. Recently, I've enjoyed watching others share their experiences so I've decided to take the opportunity to share my own experiences. Come along for the ride and feel free to watch, like, comment and share. Let's go camping!
Lesson for today- don’t be dramatic about a couple guys shotgunning squirrels. If it bothers you, there are a lot of places with no hunting. They were not shooting at you.
Every person should carry a BIC in their pocket. The most basic and one of the most important survival tools. Yes, I have ferro rods but probably have 20 BICS. The grocery stores have restricted sales of lighters to persons 18 and up. Oh, I give em hell for that when they ID me (I'm 63 lol).
There are rude people everywhere. I’ve had them come up on me at LBL too, but most of the time, they turn around and leave. I’ve learned a valuable lesson over the years, and that’s to get away from the roads to get away from the people. Even just a 10th or 1/4 mile is enough to keep most people away. I do, almost exclusively, off trail backpacking/camping anymore just for this reason. I’ve also found kayak camping is an excellent way to get away from people. Most people won’t get away from the roads, and I get all that land to myself. Even when I’m in Mammoth Cave NP, I camp in the “floodplain” to avoid even the backcountry campsites. Nice video BTW. I’ve been to that spot your at a couple of times.
It has been a favorite spot of mine for several years but recently I went out there to check it out and the trees that I typically hang my hammock from have uprooted and are falling over so if I go back, I'll have to find a different pair of trees or bring my tent.
So this was my first overnight trip and my pack weight had to be around 30+ lbs. It was crazy. I brought SOOOO much stuff that I never used. I still pack pretty heavy for camp comfort purposes, but its much more dialed in to what I'm using now. Holler next time your at LBL. I always love a good weekend in the woods out there. Plenty of spots on the water and always a great view.
Land between the lakes is where that family was murdered by something that ripped mother's arm off..found lil girl in tree half eaten..dad n son mauled to death. Be careful out there.
Just had my 2nd van camp out there. I just got my new hammock today. Headed out there real soon. I met up with ZZ Outdoors and had a nice camp with him . (He is a you tuber too). Drop me a note if ya wanna meet up.
I've watched his channel. He's a great camper and an LBL regular for certain! It'd be great to get a trip together sometime. My next trip is going to be a kayak trip most likely out of the same spot.
I live 15 min from lbl. I been camping and fishing there all.my life and i wouldnt want to live anywhere else. LBL has it all. Camping hunting fishing hiken and bike riden. And if you lke spooky things theres been stories of ghost. UFOs bigfoot and dogman hahahaha. If your into things like that. My passion is fishing at night off the river banks and it does get a little spooky around 2 am. And i advise everyone to be carrying a weapon with them because there is strang things i have heard in the past that scared the shit out of me but thats all part of the thrill of camping.
LOVE the Video Professor!! Thank You and it's Beautiful there. We really Enjoy it because it's like we're camping right along with You. Thanks Again. ☺
It's definitely well known in that field. There's been numerous bigfoot and dogman sightings and a family was massacred there in the 80s and it all points to Dogman. Poor little girl was found partially eaten and slung up in a tree.
@@easternncbigfoot1288 There is a guy who claims to have survive that attack and claims that little girl hanging from the tree is not completely true...she did die from the attack but it was one of the beast who attack them that the G Men found in a tree shot dead from the father who shot the beast before it killed him.
@@krynico8451 Oh Ok, thank you for that information. Either way those are the creepiest stories to me where people are found in trees. I've heard a few of them.
@@easternncbigfoot1288 I link the interview of the guy who claim to have survived the attack..I not for sure it's true but he sounds very convincing..It makes for a interesting story but bless those who lost there lives to this tragedy and other like it we don't hear or our society tries to hide. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0swWLqexkvs.html
No, but I have seen Coyotes, Wild Hogs and Armadillos. I did once have an overly persistent (though he wasn't aggressive) armadillo that kept trying to sneak into my camp for some odd reason. Of course, deer and eagles are probably the most common sightings.
My guy, I'm from the stix...I would drive my Chevy Malibu all up and down that road your on...plenty of room on the grass/leaves to scoot that car around the puddles
Land Between the Lakes is always an adventure. So many areas to explore and every place is different. Sometimes the roads are clear and easy and sometimes they’re white knuckle! I’m hoping to get back out this week and see how the area looks with the spring foliage in bloom!
No 4x4 needed on that road, I've took my Chevrolet Nova in more ruffer places then that, I live in Alabama, we still have back roads that in worse shape that that, especially where they strip mined.
Just found ya here. Great video. LBL is my old stomping grounds. Mostly on the north end around Twin Lakes, old eddyville ferry area. Been couple years since I've been. Moved away but still 1hr 45mins away going to get back down there soon. Really miss the place. But probably going to be hard to navigate Northside cause of tornado damage 😕 but anyways thanks for great video will be watching for more.
Thanks for watching! The roads are pretty clear but a lot of the backcountry areas do still have a lot of down trees. The LBL crew is really good about getting the roads cleared after storms. It's one of the things I love about the area!
Not at all. Sometimes coyotes come near but they have never come into camp. It’s fairly safe and I’ve never even had a close call. It’s…peaceful…quiet…and really comfortable when done right!
Thanks for watching. I think it's a great spot but it's starting to get a bit busier so I'm thinking about moving further up the peninsula. With over 300 miles of shoreline I want to explore more and see what new spots can be found.
It's about a tenth of a mile from the Ft. Henry Trailhead at (36.506501, -88.028280) on Google Maps. Its still a great spot and I've been there several times since.
