You had some good planning tips in this video, but you missed some important stuff. You should always search out the government agency that owns the area where the trail is located, and read the official website of the agency that maintains it. This will tell you about road closures and fees, etc. For instance, if you had read the Wayne National Forest website, you would have known that Vesuvius area was closed for a prescribed burn (now open). Second, you should find a topographic map and find out how much the terrain changes altitude on the trail. A trail with big hills - like Shawnee in southern Ohio - will be much slower than a flat trail. Planning for the slower travel speed is important for finding the possible camping sites at the end of the day.

Very good points. When I am doing with the series I may go back and edit some of the video sequences. Kinda wish I would have saved the project files for later.

@wichorides 6 лет назад

Interested in starting in this hobby. I found this whole playlist super helpful. This video specifically was very informative for me. Thank you for taking the time to help us out.

@ridethewavebud 7 лет назад

I've watched all of your Beginner Backpacking videos. I have to say though, that trip planning is the thing I'm the least prepared for until now. This video was incredibly helpful. And trip planning for a hike is a lot easier than I thought. There is so much information available that helps leave no unwanted surprises. Thanks for this series.

@canadianpaddler644 7 лет назад

Great video, Jason , thanks. It may not be particularly useful for me but it's always a pleasure to see great minds think alike. I'm also sure many people will find it useful. Wanted to mention that while it's necessary to have a printed map it's also very useful to have a digital map that you could pair with a GPS and have a convenient and reliable way of identifying your location. Assuming that once carries a smart phone my top choices of navigation tools are: CalTopo web site to build a digital map, a PdfMaps phone app to view a map, and a Bluetooth GPS receiver that pairs with a phone and shows your location in the PdfMaps app. A standalone bluetooth GPS receiver helps increase phone's battery life and works without any cell coverage as well as the PdfMaps map.

Loved this series. Thanks so much. You should do an episode about trekking poles and how to use them.

@FrozensAdventures 7 лет назад

+Bla Bla will do

@frankcass5615 7 лет назад

I am just getting into hiking and found your videos extremely informative. Thank you for taking the time to film these! I am also from the Pittsburgh area (30 minutes south) and plan to use some of your trips as a starting point. Thank you!

@FrozensAdventures 7 лет назад

+Frank Cass your welcome!

@brendankarras6692 4 года назад

I came here looking for advice on planning my first trip. I wasn’t expecting to have my trip planned for me! Thanks for helping out a fellow Pittsburgher

@FrozensAdventures 4 года назад

Glad it helped?

@troytaylor5541 7 лет назад

Great video. I do a lot of online research as well. Mostly because I can't stop clicking on and reading all the links. But my "trip planning" really could some work. Thanks for the good tips.

@davidespinosa1910 3 года назад

Would be great to see a video about All Trails and other hiking apps. Great series, thanks !

@beanfrompa 6 лет назад

A fellow yinzer. Love this beginning backpacking series. Great information thank you.

@benjaminbaker2009 7 лет назад

For trails with a lot of turns/switchbacks I like to use a waxed linen thread for measuring distances. It is a bit thinner than cordage and the wax allows it to stick to the paper so you can shape it fairly well.

@FrozensAdventures 7 лет назад

Great tip!

@uptrail7169 7 лет назад

I also use google and the map images. In the Cloud Peak Wilderness we didn't want to take any chances and ordered the waterproof National Geographic map. If I'm worried about my printable map getting wet I'll make a backup. I had a map once get wet and it was hard to read. You had a couple of other good tips in the video. Thanks!

@astrog8tr 7 лет назад

These are all excellent, but this one is maybe the best.

good idea for a topic. I know there will be many that get something out of this. I know I never used reddit. thanks much

@DonP_is_lostagain 7 лет назад

you got a sub and kudos on the Shug shirt. Mine's in black :-) good info too and that makes it worthwhile.

@JoShUa_J78 7 лет назад

@ketcamaro 7 лет назад

One source to checkout is caltopo.com ......can turn on mapbuilder tools and user maps in the settings and can select drom several diffrent map types...can print to pdf or just print and can adjust what scale you want to use(1:24:000) is USGS topo scale most used....

@jhuggett72 7 лет назад

Really liked this video. Thanks.

@adventureeast5103 7 лет назад

Not sure if you mentioned it or not in video. But anyone actually planning a trip using blackbird knob trailhead parking needs an overnight parking permit from the Canaan valley wildlife refuge. That trailhead is only trailhead at dolly sods where this applies because of that particular trailhead just inside the wildlife refuge boundary.

@FrozensAdventures 7 лет назад

+AdventureEAST thank you. I didn't even know that. I thought it was just the east side of black bird knob trail that required it.

@TurkeyDart 7 лет назад

Excellent video

@RESTLESSOUTDOORS 7 лет назад

Jason.... you and Sintax77 are great resources for trip planning.... keep it up! I think we referenced your video on the Red River Gorge trip a dozen times! We had a blast... Check it out and thanks again!

@bobmcelroy7289 7 лет назад

Great video! This has always been the sore point for me. One thing I didn't see was "permits". Do you have another video for them?

@vivherrero 5 лет назад

Hey Jason- thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Question I didn't see covered is about parking. How do you know if and for how many days you can leave your vehicle at a trail head?

@FrozensAdventures 5 лет назад

The park website usually says the rules

@ducaticanine 7 лет назад

thx for the info man. just now researching reddit. kinda confusing at first but looks interesting

@FrozensAdventures 7 лет назад

+carmine you will get used to it. It does take a while but well worth it to learn

@TimWatsonOutdoors 7 лет назад

Good tips, I use Reddit but haven't used the RES.

@412av8 6 лет назад

I am really enjoying your video series! I am new to backpacking and they have been very helpful. I didn't realize you were in the 'Burgh till now. I live near Butler, but work downtown. Have you hiked a lot of the North Country Trail?

@FrozensAdventures 6 лет назад

+brian potts a super small portion maybe 3 miles or so during a winter trip. I really should hike an actually section of it though. Glad you are finding the series helpful!

@sunbliss4541 7 лет назад

useful tips

@Nathanallenpinard 6 лет назад

So the blue trails that where between the one you were planning on (the red one), are those just easy ways to loop back for people that don't want to do more than 4 miles a day but also don't want to double back?

@FrozensAdventures 6 лет назад

Nathan Allen Pinard all of the lines are trails. The red line was just to show the route to circumnavigate the area.

@yimao4265 7 лет назад

Great video! Learn a lot from your uploads buddy. One question, how could you get those buttons of the map types? I tried a search but I don't get those different map type buttons. :(

@FrozensAdventures 7 лет назад

Hmm not sure. They always just show up for me.

@yimao4265 7 лет назад

Outdoor Adventures Thanks for the reply, buddy. I am a backpacking beginner and I do learn a lot from your videos. Thanks for all these perfect jobs.

@556brian1 7 лет назад

Hey dude! Thanks for posting all these awesome videos. My girlfriend and I have been watching a lot of them trying to get some ideas for an upcoming 5 day hike we're planning mid November. We're driving up all the way from Tampa Fl and are trying to narrow down a good 15-25 mile loop. Was looking at Fontana Lake but are totally open to suggestions and would love your input. We're hoping for somewhere that won't get too cold, mixed hiking conditions (heavily wooded, open areas, views, water, etc..) hoping to keep the drive to around 12-14 hours so we can spend more time hiking. Any suggestions from experience of where to hike during that time of year? Thanks! Brian

@FrozensAdventures 7 лет назад

Not sure about a loop, but why not look into hiking a bit of the AT. I'd recommend the smokies for you but I've only been there once and not familiar with the area. There is also an Ocean to Lake trail that seems pretty cool. In florida but it's not a loop. You would have to do a down and back. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cans4m3RCZE.html

@556brian1 7 лет назад

Outdoor Adventures thanks man! I'll look into that.

@Wings02761 5 лет назад

Just ran across this site which has a companion app for mapping and planning called komoot. I would like to know what you think of it

@FrozensAdventures 5 лет назад

Never heard of it.

@3_up_moon 6 лет назад

Heres a great map resource for Oklahoma and some other parts of the country (Arkansas, New Mexico, Colorado, California, Idaho, Montana, Missouri, Wyoming) Most of them are free. www.ouachitamaps.com/index.html

@knight2255 7 лет назад

Do you plan on doing some more hiking trips in the Tn Smokies next year?

@FrozensAdventures 7 лет назад

Yes I will. Should be a 4 day solo trip

@rickminer7528 7 лет назад

What about trail difficulty? As a guy who is thinking of getting into this, do I need to be concerned with how difficult a particular trail may be? Or am I just overthinking this?

@FrozensAdventures 7 лет назад

+Rick Miner don't plan too many miles. Start with state parks they are usually a bit more calm as far as terrain. Find a place you can day hike. And keep on conditioning.

@rickminer7528 7 лет назад

Outdoor Adventures cool. Thanks Jason.

@Eric12358 6 лет назад

I think most people use All Trails app now dont they?

@George-te5fl 7 лет назад

When you plan, how do you check or know if theses campsites are first come first serve or reserved sites?

@FrozensAdventures 7 лет назад

+Pat Sime usually the park service website tells you all that.

Reddit can be extremely frustrating.

@ejmanes 6 лет назад

I want to start getting into backpacking but I'm nervous as a black male. I get crazy eyes as I hike sometimes. I also heard crazy stories from some fellow black folks that had unpleasant experience do to other racist. Do u think Reddit might have a column saying which places arw dangerous to go because of skin color. I'm a mix man ( black and white) with darker complexion but this really concerns me

@FrozensAdventures 6 лет назад

I don't think you have anything to worry about. It's crazy to even think that racism still exists but I guess I was actually brought up without looking at skin color. Maybe make a post on the hiking subreddit. I'm sure other black males can comment and help ease your anxiety.

@davidespinosa1910 3 года назад

Good idea to post on reddit and see what experiences people have had.
