Solo is killer, senses come alive, it is just you and the trail, if you get into a pickel you typically come out the stronger when you make a good decision. So gratifying. Keep up the good vids. ❤

Good job on the edits by double backing on the GP shots then endinig each clip. Have done similar edits myself on my YT channel too. Good job with the intro, the information on the Trail you were hiking and the hike, the lake and return. I just subscribed, lets get you up to 1k subscribers soon. Cheers 🎉🎉 Another Avid outdoorsman hiker....😊

Thanks for sharing your video. I’m all about hiking your own hike so do whatever you like … I like to carry less stuff around with me and focus on comfort: those pads are not fun to sleep on… I cut off 2/3s of one of the fold pieces of a sit pad and carry nicer pad. Don’t know what was all in your pack but i carry 40 liters for 5 days … if you don’t already … go through your pack when you get home and get rid of the stuff you didn’t use or you could split use.. good stuff anyways.
@mountainbond1743
@mountainbond1743 3 месяца назад
Great advice! 40 liters for a five day trip is really good! I’m trying to get there one day. I’ll be hiking the Appalachian Trail next year so I’m trying to be as minimum as possible. I brought a lot of things on this trip I most certainly won’t be bringing on the AT. Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching!!🙌🤙

Once I've found a log that's 20 cm in diameter and 6m long. Me and my friend jaws just dropped. It was on small island on water reservoir. I've noticed lot of pine trees there have covered bark in resin.

Recommendations on camping spots out in Norfolk area ? Or are the best spots up in the mountains?? 🙏
@mountainbond1743
@mountainbond1743 3 месяца назад
Check out False Cape State Park! I have been yet but you can camp on the beach. I’ve heard nothing but great things about it. Another one to check out is First Landing State Park. I’ve been there but never camped there. Great place

I've never understood how people struggle to find this stuff. Look for some dead trees. Gravity based low points. Look for dead pine, spruce trees. Search for sap covered end, cut. Tah dah You can even make your own if you're patient want to wait a handful of years

Great video! I hope your hammock is serving you well and you're getting plenty of good nights sleep! 1:31 - Good tip! Another thing you can do is put a few twists in your tree strap before feeding it into your cinch buckle. It makes the straps into a kind of twist/spiral, that naturally makes the water drip off. The drip lines work just as well - just another method of staying dry.
