Always takes me a while to get to your vids but I'm always glad when I do! Love your camera work even when there's too many people and you're still trying to get shots! What a beautiful place! I can't imagine trying to do 4 miles of that kind of trail!! Big BOOOOO on that! There are a select few Backpacking RU-vidrs that use flatulence like an artist may use a brush to paint a masterpiece or a sculptor uses his hands to mold clay into a work of art. You sir... are one of those few!! :-) Great adventure... and Trips is a trooper for sure!

How much would you love to scuba dive that area. So beautiful out there guys. Are you telling me that you Tripped and fell but not “Trips” Great job on making a new tarp. It looked like a Dyneema tarp😳 I love the Starbucks singles. Use them on every camping trip. My goodness the blow downs were everywhere. Really cool trip my friends. Love that ending 😂😂

Believe it or not I first started exploring the area back in the 90s when I was actively diving that part of Michigan. I used to be a First Mate on a diving charter boat giving people underwater tours of shipwrecks. That’s a whole different part of my life most people don’t know about.

They are purchased and modified for our water bottles. There are two brands on Amazon, “Source Water Bottle Adapter” and “Lixada Water Bottle Hose Kit”. I’ve also got a video in my playlist covering the water bottle modification. Thanks for watching! Fist bumps ~ Miyagi

Great video, have been to Pictured Rocks and want to hike or bike Grand Island. May I ask what you are each using for hiking shoes? How were the ticks on Grand Island?
@MiyagiontheTrail
@MiyagiontheTrail Год назад
Grand Island, while perfectly fine for hiking 🥾, is definitely designed for mountain bikers 🚴 in mind. We went in the fall and didn’t have any problems with ticks at all. I do recommend treating your equipment with Permethrin. We treat twice a season and don’t really ever have any issues with them. I’m personally a big fan of the “Altra” brand of shoes. I use the Olympus model of Atra’s which feature a nice cushy stack height and plenty of room in the toe box. Good luck out there! Fist bumps ~ Miyagi
@timhirsch6938
@timhirsch6938 Год назад
Were there constantly bikers zooming by you on the trail? In terms of seclusion during Day 1 how would you rate it out of 10?
@MiyagiontheTrail
@MiyagiontheTrail Год назад
😂 yes there was! “1” being no seclusion to “10” being the most, I would rate it a 4. Only because the inner island trail we did not see any people whatsoever. Probably because the trail isn’t maintained and bikes aren’t allowed. The main perimeter trails see lots of bike traffic.
@kathyls74
@kathyls74 Год назад
Great video! We have questions about hiking this trail in June. Are ticks and issues?
@MiyagiontheTrail
@MiyagiontheTrail Год назад
Ticks are always an issue. However, if you stay on the outer rim trail around the island, it’s fairly open and your contact with vegetation is at a minimum except near your ankles. I would always advise using permethrin on your clothing.

Hi Thomas! We use a system from “Source Tactical” called the “Convertube”. It can be found on Amazon. It’s designed to allow you to drink from a water bottle stowed in the side pocket of your backpack by routing a long drinking tube along your back, up over your shoulder and down your backpack strap. The end of the tube has a mouthpiece that can be clipped or fitted with a magnet for easy deployment when you want a sip. For us, we like the bottles up front by us. It offsets just a bit of weight to the front of the pack and allows us to see exactly how much water we are consuming. We just cut the hydration tube down to 3-6 inches depending on where you mount your bottle. I can sip on the go without touch anything with my hands. Other versions are available from “One Bottle Hydration”, “Lixada”, and “SmarTube”. I highly recommend this system if you don’t mind a bite valve and the nominal weight increase. Good luck!

I too have driven past that island so many times! We finally decided to pull the trigger. I think it would be great for someone who was spending a week in the Munising area. It would be an easy one day tour around the island on a bike. There’s tons more hiking in the thumb area we didn’t get to. Can’t wait to get back. Kayaking camping would be friggin awesome too. And winter camping! Awe man soooo many ideas for adventures! Let’s go brother!!

Awesome backpacking trip we have only done grand island for a day hike. Loved how you explained it all. Lighthouse was beautiful and the food looked good. I had to laugh when you joked about the spam. Man that was one wild trail in the inland area... Definitely advanced 😂😆. Yes I don't enjoy crawling. The cemetery was interesting. Old cemeteries are so interesting. And a little eerie. Glad you made it back on the mainland.
