We are absolutely blessed to live about 20 min away from PMT, so we hike it a few times each week (and have been for the past 28 years!), and it absolutely is fantastic. Plus, Three Little Pigs is the best thing on planet earth.
I was stunned that you gave me a shoutout at Sparks Creek campsite and yes it's one of my favorite sites. You did an excellent job documenting the PMT. I've eat at the 3 little pigs for over 30 years. I love their new location.
Wish we could have met up on the PMT! That weekend, we were at Little Bridges Campsite and we hiked out at 10 or so we definitely would have missed running into each other. Such a great trail! Look forward to meeting you this week in KY!
I know man!! We weren't sure we were going until last minute so I decided not to reach out to anyone. And I can't wait either man! Going to be a great trip!
@@SouthernHike I talked to Senior Hiker 77 and we are talking about doing the live stream on a regular basis. Maybe we can all meet up one weekend and shoot a live RU-vid stream from the PMT. Let me know if you are interested. See ya soon!
You earned that orange slice! Good info on campsites and trip planning... Nice to see y'all out on the trail again! You weren't kidding when you said you'd be putting your tent up in low light 😅
I usually hike 23~0. Whiskey Still is one of our least favorite campsites. It is strategically located for though hikers. Trekking poles tents might have some issues. Good luck.
I don’t like the water situation but kind of like the campsite. Just has a unique vibe to it. And for might be more difficult for trekking pole tents. We mentioned you in the video when we passed Sparks Creek. Thanks for watching John!
I am solo backpacking this with my dog over the Thanksgiving break and starting at the tower. I am making it a loop that comes out to about 25-26 miles total. Ironically, I am staying at Bethel one night...lol. Guess I should have paid better attention to your other video.
Haha if your hammock camping it’s not bad at all. If your by yourself there is like one good spot for a tent. Haha. You’ll be fine! Site just sits on a hill so makes it frustrating to level a tent. Thanks for watching!
Great video!! I was wondering how y'all got to the tower trail head with your truck parked at the beginning of the trail? The website states there is no shuttle service available. Thanks in advance!!
Thank you! And sadly there is no official shuttle. My best recommendation is to get on the facebook group and just make a post mentioning when your trying to get on trail.
nice!!! i am planning to do to the 23 through hike next month. question: how do you get to the trail head, when you park your vehicle at the end of the trail? thanks!
It’s an awesome trail! So we have family close, and just get someone to drop us off. If you make a post in the Facebook group normally people are willing to help!
Don’t blame you. You live in the heaven of backpacking. :) let us know if you ever want to visit our green tunnel! Well give you some southern hospitality!
Hi Taylor and Rachael! Great videos on the PMT. I’ve been looking into it a lot lately. Know anyone in the area I could go to for a possible shuttle from one end to the other?
It’s an awesome trail!! So the best way is to make a post on the Facebook PMT group. Just make sure to find the right group. Multiple Pine Mountains trails. Haha
awesome video. Me and my wife just got all our gear and looking forward to getting into backpacking. Living in GA we will for sure be looking to hit this trail. Thanks for the videos
My wife and I are planning to go to FDR next week and found your channel looking for more info. Nice channel! We have really enjoyed watching your hikes.
How's the weather and snow in December in FDR? I'm in Florida and I'd like to use that trail and park to start my training and conditioning for a bigger project...but I don't even know snow yet.So...What to expect?
Hello, enjoyed your video. I am hoping to do the PMT next month but cant find anyone to shuttle me from the Country Kitchen to the TV tower. Do you know of anyone who can provide this service? Thanks!
