I know this video is 6 years old, but a big Thanks for putting it out there. This has been a goal of mine for a long time. About the time you were hiking the LHHT, my son and I were in the Allegheny National Forest on the Morrison trail. That was my last backpack trip. I've got to get back out there.

@valeriecase3029 5 дней назад

I hiked a bit in the Ohiopyle area during fall colors in 2017, tried to get back a few times for a longer stay, but each of the years I had an opportunity the late October/early November window had a very rainy forecast. Looking at Laurel Highlands again this year but will have to see how the weather pans out. It is a fantastic destination for autumn leaves.

Awesome video! And a big thank you for the idea of repackaging the MH meals and using one packet to rehydrate.

Frozen, Bravo. You have really come a long way since your first hike on the LHHT. I recently completed a 60 mile/30 hour hike at Burr Oak Lake in Ohio and between your experience and my Burr Oak experience, I'm thinking about how I can do LHHT in 3 nights. Just need to get it scheduled now. Thanks for the inspiration. Greg

@FrozensAdventures 8 лет назад

Thanks Greg, definitely take some time and hit up the LHHT

@aapm74 7 лет назад

Great video. I was 12 the first time I hiked on the LHHT, connecting from Camp Sequanota to the Turnpike shelter area. I've done sections since, but never an entire thru-hike (planning that for this summer). It's a great trail that passes through a lot of history in the area. One thing I would suggest is to keep an eye out for rattlesnakes near the top of those powerlines above the Conemaugh Gap. I've only ever seen them twice in my life, and both times were in the rocks near those that you jump up on at 52:45 of the video. Certainly not a danger, but be aware that they're there. Again, great videos. Thanks for the tremendous info with these.

That little extra bottle saves my pot from getting muddy/scratched up. It's worth the couple grams to me to throw it in the back.

Great video, Frozen. I am a fellow Pittsburgher (Murrysville) and I have through hiked the LHHT also. I usually hike the trails you hike after I see the videos (OIl Creek, Minister Creek). You should check out Otter Creek in WVA. About 3 hours south, near Dolly Sods, it was a GREAT hike.

@uptrail7169 8 лет назад

Another Very Good Video! Someone just asked me about the Double Layer Warbonnet Blackbird. I told him that my next one will be a single layer. Funny to see that you did the same. Good idea to take off the shoes and socks during a hiking break. I've not tried that yet. At the end was good. It's amazing what you think about after hiking for a long time. I do the same thing. I also heard a bear and cub on my last 2 trips. It was hard to see them good in the dense woods. The cub was making a crying type noise with the mother in the area. I wanted to get a video, but it was way to hard with the thick woods. I had a very hard time seeing them.

@retiredusmc9090 7 лет назад

I am going to be doing this hike in two weeks. I here the initial ascent is a long long climb but then the trail evens out pretty flat until you drop back down into Ohio Pyle. Along the way did you run into any Rangers checking on the shelter areas and or looking for stealth campers? Just curious as I plan to do 14 the first day to make it to the second shelter but if that was to much on the first day I was just planning pn steal thing off trail. My plan is six days five nights.

+Retired USMC 6 days five nights is how I did my first thru hike of area. No rangers checking but I'm sure they are a out at different times.

Great video again. Not to pry, but I saw that you have a pretty narly scar on your left calf and was just wondering if there is a cool back story to that and also does it give you any problems when hiking as far as pain goes? I myself deal with tons of pain on every hike. My legs, from hips to feet are riddled with arthritis but I never let it stop me. Hike on my friend.

@FrozensAdventures 6 лет назад

Heh, that is from getting run over by an SUV when I was a kid. On my home from school, the car was doing 35 in a 15 at the crest of the hill.. (my house) Doesn't hurt at all, it's just a skin graft that was stretched out.

@WoodsTrekkinAdventures 8 лет назад

Nice job on the hike and video. I finally made a trip to Ohiopyle last month to gather info etc. on the trail. It took a touch over two hours from my house so not too far. I am not sure, but believe I may begin planning for a weekend in September. One quick question. What brand and size pot are you using as it looked like the type I want to switch to to gain a touch more versatility. I currently use a toaks 750ml. As always, thanks for sharing.

@FrozensAdventures 8 лет назад

It's a toaks 700ml. I usually put my current gear list in the description box of each of my videos.

I'm not so sure you will always have access to trees when you do the JMT so you might have to use a tent after all.

We'll cross that road when I have to :( I'd need to get a lighter tent as well or at least carry some polycro and a pad to set up inside the hammock but on the ground.

@Huskyspanish 8 лет назад

Awesome video! Awkward question but...what were you wearing when you were swimming? I ask because I will be encountering a similar opportunity on my first hike and wasn't sure what to do. Also, as a beginner, I would be interested to know the bathroom situation on trail. Thank you so much!

@FrozensAdventures 8 лет назад

+Nicholas Lemonds haha np. Just my boxers I was hiking in. Then I switched before I got dressed when I got out. For #2 I usually just use a tent stake to dig a 6" hole and do my business a hundred feet off the trail. Make sure to avoid areas with water as well.

@derekfrey3671 3 года назад

Hey frozen, I'm thinking about doing this trip this coming year at some point. Just curious, do you get cell phone and data reception at any of these shelters? Sometimes it's nice to be able to text or stream something at night lol. Also if I'm bringing a hammock would I just reserve a tent site? Never done the reservation thing before.

@FrozensAdventures 3 года назад

Yes you'd reserve a tent site. Cell phone signal is hit or miss. Have fun it's a great trip!

I'm doing the LHHT with the boy scouts 9 days 8 nights and the leader suggested I get a 70L backpack is that a ok size? this would be my first backpacking trip.

@FrozensAdventures 7 лет назад

No offense to the boyscouts but most of the leaders are still using older style gear. The new gear that's available these days is lighter and compresses a lot better. But it really depends on your gear. For reference I was easily able to do 6 days with a 48L pack, but again my gear was purchased in the past 3-4 years so everything is pretty compressible. Your best bet is to get all your stuff together and go up to an outdoor store and see if what backpacks will fit everything. Also take a look at my beginner backpacking series playlist on the channel, it will help and save you money in the process. Good luck with your hike, it's an awesome adventure!

+Robert L. Kessinger the more you hike. You will come to know what you need and what can be left at home. If you want to get nitty gritty create a lighterpack.com weight your gear and when you get back from a trip figure out what you didn't use or what can be left at home.

+Rob _ I was pressed for space this trip because i brought some bulky food. It actually ends up saving a lot of space if you repackage each mountain house meal into a ziploc freezer bag then bring the packaging on 1 mountain house meal to warm your food and reuse it. Pour the water right in the zjploc

Gotcha. Didn't think of that. Thought you just opened the mh n put it in zip locks. Thought n it was a bit redundant :)

You mentioned your 11 lbs base weight. Do you have a gear list or gear video show casing this?

@josephtoth5500 8 лет назад

Never mind, I just noticed the link to your gear list.

I also have some gear list videos on the channel that I try to make yearly toward the fall. The last one is still relevant though.

Great vids, man. just an fyi, base weight is total weight 'excluding' consumables (food/water/fuel), not including. maybe it was an annotation typo. carry on, keep filming! (7+ weeks in, still waiting for my EE Revelation. maybe it'll just be sweeter when i get it?)

@FrozensAdventures 8 лет назад

annotation seems correect. have the minus sign in there, might be a little confusing.

@johnnythedane 8 лет назад
