That was awesome!! When you asked if that was your serving of gumbo! 🤣🤣 Looks like a great time!! Love Indiana backpacking! Thanks for sharing the adventure!
"Neanderthals didn't sleep in tents " Old gear vs new gear. I often think I had more good times (though uncomfortable) years ago with heavier and crappier stuff than I do now. I seem to have to almost baby my more expensive gear in fear of ruining it. I still can't pull the trigger on that nice Durston tent though. Maybe for my next birthday I'll splurge on the simple X-mid.
It’s very true lol. Some stuff is so expensive you’re afraid to use it lol. I’m perfectly happy with the simple regular xmid. I’ve had dcf tents in the past, and yes they are a bit lighter, but they don’t pack down well. The biggest benefit was that they don’t stretch. But the sil poly used on the xmid didn’t stretch either. Huge win for me. It’s a great tent for sure!
@@Beardedbackpacker Actually, that is generally true for me as well since I work nights through Saturdays but I did take off a Saturday this month so I can go with the group. Love your videos. 😀
Great video! As a fellow “min-cultist” I’m always interested in watching someone set up Sage. I’m curious, though, where you enter and which trail you take to get to that spot? I’m looking for some short yo-yo destinations for winter camping. Thanks for taking us along!
This is just the Terrell ridge trail. Park at the fire tower and just follow the trail straight out. About 2 miles out there. The trail eventually curves to the left to a cemetery, but if you look straight into the trees you’ll see the sign pointing back to the trail and camp sites.
