Hey, Thanks for checking out my channel. I’m an outdoor lover, father of 3 boys and a girl, and love all things hiking and backpacking. You’ll find me and my fiancé out on a trail as often as we can and the weather permits. I started vlogging our adventures as a way to enhance our time outside, to take more time to notice the beauty and wonder of nature, and to hopefully inspire others to get outside. I invite you to check out the places I go and experience our great outdoors for yourself. And take your kids with you!
I found mine by following the Ladner Black mouth cur facebook group. The Ladner Curs are very well bred. People will post from time to time when they have litters.
Ha captain and coke is the only mixed drink I'll drink. Thanks for the video. Preparing to make my first solo backpacking trip this spring on the knobstone so I'm doing my research and your video was very helpful. Really helpful since you're about my age and build as well. Lol. If there's any advice or tips you can give me that would be very much appreciated. Happy hiking!
My youngest was around 2 years old first time we went to Clifty, she turned 38 a couple months ago. Now I take my grandkids there. Glad to see families out doing this, you've a beautiful family, Ryan, keep up the good work!!
Thank you so much for the kind words. My hope for this channel if nothing else, is for it to be library of all the fun things my kids enjoyed with their dad..and perhaps encourage others to get outside and love nature with their families.
Thanks! I love making them and Jamie loves the tedious process of editing all of my clips and putting it all together..Win/win for my RU-vid aspirations, haha!
Thank you for the comment..No doubt the kids will look back at these videos of the fun things we’ve done many years from now and feel grateful for the experiences.
Hey there! Thanks for commenting and subscribing😄...that zero deg quilt would have been nice to have on this trip. I really enjoyed my first winter trip, and I hope you find pleasure in it as well. You’ll definitely be nice and toasty in your new gear!
Enjoyed the video very much. My first backpacking trip was on this loop and it was solo. I have a video of it on my channel. It didn't go as planned but in the end it was great and I have learned so much since then. Also you can not go wrong with those biscuits and gravy.
Another nice trip ! Instead of carrying and extra sleeping bag, take some smaller stuff. You won’t believe what Down booties will do for your overall comfort. I carry an extra puffy coat w me, and only wear it when there is no way that i’ll be sweating in it. At night I drape it over my shoulders and back ( inside the sleeping bag) and drift off In warm bliss. Also ..... carry a set of long Johns that your only gonna use to sleep in. Great video ! I enjoyed it ! See you out there sometime ! 👍
I never really considered the down booties until recently. I never really was interested in 4 season backpacking, but I enjoyed it enough on this trip I may look for a 10 degree bag and some booties from enlightened equipment. Thanks for the comments!
Nice ! I haven’t done the knobstone stuff in over twenty years ...... I knew where you were , but it all looks a little different now. I’ve been thinking that it might be time to try another trip there , maybe a through hike? Thanks for sharing your trip ! 👍
Havent seen you on my feed for a while. At 5:34 Johnny looks like a tiny man on a fire 😂 there is something i enjoy about been out in the peaceful wild, in the cold drinking my coffee.
Yeah, not a real big fan of the colder weather, but it had just been too long since getting out last, and I had to put out some content. Thanks for the comment😁
Hello... I met you yesterday on this trail. THANKS for the heads up about that gate and gravel road.. I would have kept on going straight. 6:30 I finally made it back to the trail head... Pitch Black Dark. I looked up Dixie.. wunder lust.. hiker girl.. She has great videos. Yall have inspired me to get a good sleeping bag. Have fun
We've been hiking alot lately in Indiana, Morgan Monroe Forest, Griffy Lake and Lake Monroe. Great video now we are going to have to add Hemlock Cliffs as one of out next adventures.
