Texas Backpackers YouTube Meetup 2022 | Hill Country State Natural Area

This is my version of the 2nd Texas Backpackers RU-vid Meetup from Hill Country State Natural Area. We did this over Veterans Day Weekend in 2022. I really appreciated getting to know these other great channels from across the state. I can vouch for all of them that they are just as genuine in person as they seem on their channels. We missed a couple channels from last year's meetup at Caprock Canyons and had several other channels not be able to make it this year. For as little public land as Texas has, we have a lot of great places to backpack and a lot of great RU-vidrs to video it!
Be sure and checkout all the channels from this year's meetup. Subscribe to their channels if you aren't already. And if you're interested in attending something like this and you have a RU-vid channel about backpacking and are based in/around Texas, let us know!

Great place. I was there the following weekend. Perfect park for someone getting into hiking/backpacking or if you just need a night away. And yes, just like every other trail I’ve been on in Texas, all rock.

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Lots of rock for sure. It's like the whole state is made of limestone. Haha. Thanks a lot for watching.

@hikingwithjackieboy Год назад

Cool video. Hill Country SNA is a nice park. Thanks for sharing. Happy hiking.

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Thanks man. I appreciate it. I really enjoyed the park.

@BluecollarBackcountry Год назад

What a great time. I hate I missed this. Of all the places I've been, I've never visited Hill Country SNA but it looks to be a really nice place. I know you had a blast. ✌

@CameronHall88 Год назад

I wish you could have made it. I know you would have been there if you could. We missed you this year. The park was really pretty. I bet there are some nice flowers there earlier in the year.

@ChristopherGalletto Год назад

Looks like y’all had a blast! I’ll have to catch the 2023 round up! Good to see other TX-based creators, too. Cheers!

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Yeah it was a good time. I will check out your channel and add you to our list for next year.

@ZacharyTeich-HikingTrainer Год назад

Hi Cameron, nice video. Hopefully it's not too much work to organize these. As someone who never backpacks, I have a suggestion for next year: Get a few people who are interested and do a 2 or 3 night off trail adventure at Big Bend, through some remote area of the park. I'd really like to see that, and it would make an awesome video. I haven't looked, but I wonder how many people have done videos of off trail backpacking at BB like that? It would be cool to see.

@CameronHall88 Год назад

I'm sure there are videos out there. But I haven't looked for them either. There are some great trip reports from big off trail trips on BigBendChat though. From routes and pictures I've seen, they'd make great videos for sure.

@rlands5134fd Год назад

Looked like a nice meet-up Cameron 👍 It's always interesting to see everybody's set up. Thanks for the video 👌✌️

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Yeah! It was a good time with good people. I also enjoy videos from around camp getting to see everyone's gear. Thanks a lot for watching.

@lizstrailsandtravels4624 Год назад

Truly a beautiful place I’m also so happy to have met you after watching your GUMO adventures for a year. You are a star ! Lol. Thanks once again for organizing us. Until next time. 😊

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Thanks. I'm glad you were able to make it. It was great meeting you. And you're right; I thought Hill Country SNA was beautiful!

@texashikeaholicsadventures5651 Год назад

Fantastic video!! Can’t wait until next year!! 😢 sad we missed this one.

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Thanks! Sorry y'all had to miss. Hopefully it'll work out next year. We missed y'all at this one!

@kaiabbe2623 Год назад

Heather!!! You're basically famous

@rdoody2067 Год назад

It would be nice to meet other Texas backpackers and campers. I usually go solo. Great video.

@CameronHall88 Год назад

I used to like going solo. Now, since I've started going with others, it's hard to want to get on trail by myself. Thanks for watching!

@OneMansOdyssey Год назад

Awesome! I may have to steal your idea about a state-themed meetup, though there aren’t very many New Mexico backpackers on RU-vid…

@ChucoHiker Год назад

I think that would be awesome!

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Surely there are more people backpacking in NM than TX. It's been great meeting people that are somewhat local that all have a common interest. A NM gathering would be awesome as yall have so many cool places to backpack.

@OneMansOdyssey Год назад

@@CameronHall88 probably more people, but not nearly as many channels, ironically. I think it’s just a population thing; way more people in Texas than NM, so more channels even though fewer places to hike.

@GeezerAdventures Год назад

Good multiple use for your hat!!

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Thanks! I've always done that. Works great. As long as you don't spill!

@kellylane73 Год назад

This is my go to hiking spot, it’s in my backyard… awesome video

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Thanks a lot. We really enjoyed it! And I will definitely be back. We didn't get to see a lot of the park. I'd like to explore the rest.

@theweldonator Год назад

Loved it Cameron! I love how everyone showed a different side of the story. Ride That Tasty Wave

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Yeah thats always fun! Neat seeing the same story from different perspectives. Thanks a lot for watching.

@DribbleFunk Год назад

This looked fun. I like visiting the other channels to see the different perspectives.

@CameronHall88 Год назад

That is my favorite thing about making videos with other channels. Its fun to see a trip from a different perspective. Thanks a lot for checking out my version!

@TheNotLostNomad Год назад

I hated to miss it! hopefully it'll work out for next year. Hopefully i'll get to meet everyone soon!

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Yeah, I hope so!

@tangenttrails Год назад

Awesome capturing of the true essence of the meetup! It got me a pumped up to get back to the area and do more exploring. Thank again for wrangling us all together for this wonderful adventure.#✌️

@CameronHall88 Год назад

I'm glad you could make it. It was good meeting you and everyone else. I hope we can get together for another hike sometime. I appreciate you watching. Always fun (and sometimes a little weird) to see yourself in other people's videos.

@emaramify Год назад

Good stuff. Been watching your videos for a while. I'm from McAllen TX. Love to backpack. But I do wish there was a list of places where to backpack in Texas. That's one of the reasons i come back to your channel to get some Ideas. Thanks

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Thanks for watching! I'm probably not super helpful since I go to the same places over and over. I might try to out out a video next year with some less obvious places to backpack in Texas. Thanks!

@nathanhollis9298 Год назад

No Madrone trail?! I thought for sure that would be on the agenda. To honest, not sure you missed much. It’s a little light on Madrone trees.

@CameronHall88 Год назад

The madrones I saw at the park were little bitty. I'd love to go back and explore more of the park though.

@nathanhollis9298 Год назад

My buddy and I were joking that they must have walked down that trail sprinkling seeds so it would live up to the name. Everyone was tiny and right on the trail.

@CameronHall88 Год назад

@@nathanhollis9298 😄

@andrewsherman5899 Год назад

I’d like to attend next year!

@CameronHall88 Год назад

I'll add you to my list! It'll most likely be about this same time of the year.

@ChucoHiker Год назад

Nice video! It really brought out the group dynamic and captured the parts of the park we visited. Watching this video was akin to reliving the visit 🙂 That nightscape you got the first night was awesome; and thanks for attributing me bringing up the rear to my photo taking and not the fact that I’m also slow hahahaha! Moreover, thank you for the kind words on my photos, and thank you for doing all the legwork setting up the first (2021) and second (2022) annual gatherings! Count me in for 2023, and I’m happy to help coordinate it!

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Wow, thanks for the great comment. I always enjoy our trips. Glad you were able to make it out for this one. I hope 2023 works out for a group trip. These have been fun getting to meet new people. A lot of good people backpacking around Texas.

@GeezerAdventures Год назад

Great video! And can’t thank you enough for putting together the Texas meet up. Looking forward to many more. Also - Cool new view of your office. We are at Justin & Sydney: Geezer Adventures.

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Thanks. I'm glad yall could make it. Our small town was well represented this year! I hope we can all do it again soon.

@ManuelGonzalez-mh5dd Год назад

Good video cousin cam!

Are you doing this for 2023. About to start my channel.

@CameronHall88 11 месяцев назад

Checkout ChucoHiker's channel. He has a video with information about it.

@MR-hb5mu Год назад

Subscriber meet would be nice

@CameronHall88 Год назад

That's a good idea. I may do that next year. I appreciate you watching.

@MR-hb5mu Год назад

@@CameronHall88 yeah man love the videos. I reserved site 001 at dinosaur valley next weekend. Have you camped there?

@CameronHall88 Год назад

@@MR-hb5mu do you mean the car camping site or a primitive backpacking site? Either way, I've never stayed at that specific site. Site 1 backpacking site on the north side of the river is basically right on trail. I usually try to get one of the sites a little further back. But it does have great access to Denio Creek and really isn't far at all from the river. I haven't been out to DVSP in a few months so I'm not sure what the river looks like. I'm sure with all the rain there is plenty of water out there though.

@MR-hb5mu Год назад

@@CameronHall88 yeah I got primitive site 1. Wanting to take my new helinox chair zero down by the water

@carmencastaneda6600 Год назад

I live 25 minutes from Dinosaur Valley where are you from?

@sanborns Год назад

I fell excluded, being in New Mexico, oh well, ... Maybe this could be the beginning of a southwestern meetup (Arizona, New Mexico and of course, Texas). Let me know what you think?

@CameronHall88 Год назад

Yeah, we might do something that is just a general backpacking get together. Or I might do a subscriber thing later in the year. I have considered opening up the Texas RU-vid Meetup to whatever channels want to come even if they aren't from Texas. But it would be nice to keep it just to people who create backpacking content for RU-vid. We will most likely be in West Texas for the Meetup in 2023. (Assuming it happens again this year).

@thomasmontoya7279 Год назад

im in fort worth. really interested. i believe i follow you on reddit. is that the place to join?

@CameronHall88 Год назад

I have a reddit account but I don't think I've ever posted anything over there. I've only been on there a couple times just to read some backpacking stuff. If you're interested, I'll add you name to my list. I'll post a video or send out an email or something later this summer. It'll most likely be in November or December again. That time frame has worked well the past couple years.
