The Swamp Fox Passage Bikepacking Adventure | Day 1 of 2 | Bridging Mire 

I can definitely see why you would wear Chacos. I was pleased with my choice to wear water resistant hiking boots - though I did get water up and over the edge of the boot a few times. - Jay

It was a great trip, thanks for leaving a comment! - Jay

Thanks! 👍 -Eddie

@Scott - glad you are enjoying the adventures! If you ride this section, we'd love to hear your experience. - Jay

Thank you! 31 pounds of bike and 47 pounds of gear! Nothing on my back this time and it was wonderful! - Eddie

Glad you enjoyed it. Let us know what trip you take! - Jay

Thanks, John! I've considered portions of the Croatan Vanish for an upcoming trip. I've ridden that area a lot on dirt bikes and I think it has some fantastic scenery. Maybe you'll see a video from us on it some day! - Eddie

🤙

Thanks! More to come - Jay

Welcome! Glad you're enjoying the channel. - Jay

Sounds great. I plan to return. I really enjoyed this trip! -Eddie

Glad you think so! - Jay

Kind words - thank you! - Jay

Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear you are enjoying the adventures :) - Jay

Hey, Mike! I think you might be okay if you go out in the fall on an average year. We've had record rains this year and I'm sure that contributed to the wet trail conditions. - Eddie

@Mike Miller - There was definitely a lot of mud, but we found it amusing - for most of the trip :). I guess it depends on what kind of adventure you're looking for. Regardless - hope you can get out and enjoy the trails! - Jay

@@SimplyMountainBiking What time of year did you guys do this ride?

We rode it just a few weeks ago - January 2021. - Eddie

Glad to have you here! This was filmed a few weeks ago. The trip was late January. Let us know your experience if you go! - Jay

We're so glad you stumbled onto our channel too! We rode the Swamp Fox Trail in mid-January. - Eddie

Thanks so much for the quick reply! I'll report back if I decide to go soon (although I may not be as brave as you guys with those swampy conditions--hiking is looking like a more enticing option at this point, haha!).

Just circling back to let you guys know I ended up duplicating most of your route from this video (except on foot--I wasn' brave enough to cycle it!). I actually rewatched your video last night because I wanted to see what the section through Wandoo Crk. looked like in comparison to my hike. It was flooded when I went and I was a complete idiot for going through it. I had no idea how deep the water would get until I was too far in to turn back easily. Anyway, I made a video of it (albeit much less professionally produced that yours), if you want to see what that whole section looks like with enormous amounts of rain just prior to traversing it. Look forward to watching all your future content--you guys rock! Happy trails! :-)

I just watched it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4C8eZx1cQSs.html and it was super cool seeing the perspective from foot - and also all the flooding! That was great! - Eddie

Thank you. This trail is located in South Carolina: palmettoconservation.org/passage/swamp-fox-passage/

Yes indeed! I opted for the mud most instances. Will was a beast on the skinnies. - Jay

I think wet mossy planks - but I'm a big baby! - Eddie
