I'm actually from Pembroke VA and if you ever go back to do the triple, I highly recommend that you take a few hours to check out The Cascades. It's only a 4ish mile loop but it leads to a 66' waterfall and it is BEAUTIFUL. It's about an hour from Catawba. www.virginia.org/listings/OutdoorsAndSports/CascadesNationalRecreationTrail/

I've told my wife I'm quiting in 2021 to hike the PCT. She's cool with it! Life is short man. Hike the AT and find a new job when you get done. Or better yet find a gal who wants to live a vagabond lifestyle and get all hippy and happy on us. Think Darwin on the Trail. That dude looks super happy. Anyway... another great video.

We just did that hike! That downhill 3 miles from Tinker cliffs on Andy Layne Trail was really somethin' (We had parked our car down there and got a ride to our start a few miles south of Dragon's Tooth). My knee was already killing me from doing almost 11 miles from four Pines hostel to McAfee Knob the day before, and down from Dragon's tooth the day before that, so that 3 miles of downhill was not my favorite although it was supremely beautiful! It really sucks though that you ended up having to go six miles out of your way to get back to the AT. Great video, though! It was good to see someone else's perspective of this hike... Our 11 year old daughter came with us, I was so proud of her for doing an almost Eleven Mile day on her first backpacking trip! By the way, they've painted over the yellow blazes on The Andy Layne Trail now and it's a blue-blazed trail, so no one who's trying to follow the white blazes will mistake the pale yellow for white anymore. I'll bet that's happened to a bunch of people.

Awesome vid Frozen-- looks like an amazing time! My wife and I just got back from Vermont last weekend (mem day) hiking the first 40 miles of the Long Trail/AT. We met around a dozen through hikers over our 4 day trip. They started late February/early March in Georgia and were already in Vermont.. averaging 20-30 miles a day. We had 2 solid days of heavy rain, so we didn't get much in the way of views at overlooks. Talking to the thru-hikers was definitely one of the highlights of my trip-- have the upmost respect for those guys-- the AT is no joke. One of these days you seriously have to go experience the Long Trail. Would love to see you thru-hike that - 272 miles. Thanks again for sharing this trip- I learn something new every time I watch!

@FrozensAdventures 7 жыл бұрын

It is on the long list of trips to do. I'll start with the Superior Hiking Trail and work my way up in miles. Not bragging at all but after months of hiking every day I'd probably be one of those people doing 20-30 miles each day. I'd want to take the least time off work as I can. Were any of those thru hikers assisted? Meaning they had someone following them with resupply?

@stowe18 7 жыл бұрын

Haha! I know you would be! I was thinking about you while out there about how many miles you'd be doing, we averaged 10 a day (7, 13, 8 and 12). We met ONE thru that was what they call "slack packing" because of how bad the conditions were-(he was the only SBer we met) and another thru was "blue blazin" to go re-supply in town and avoid an especially muddy section of the trail that we did. But we didn't run into anyone that had someone actually following them with their backpack, just one that had someone else driving it to another road crossing. The thru's that we met that were avg'ing 20-30 were only doing 12-15 on the section we were because of how bad the mud was, and the trail was the most technical I've ever done. Each step was carefully placed.. I wound up breaking a trek pole on day one. Seriously underestimated how difficult it was going to be, but my motivation was a brewery pub in Bennington that kept me going one foot in front of the other. My IT band is still recovering from that last day -- I was a peg leg just like meerkat on your last LHHT trip.. luckily my wife is a physical therapist and has been working on me- but it's still in pain!

Us locals call that mountain as the natives did who named it "Catawba" and it is pronounced like "CuhTawbah" without any real emphasis on the "W". Also Mc Afee's Knob is not pronounced as Macahfees (LOL), it is just like the anti-virus guy John McAfee, pronounced MacAfees. Ha, Pennsylvania dude! I live very close to Dragon's Tooth (which you spoke perfectly BTW! LOL), and around here we do little day hikes up to McAfee's Knob and to the top of the tooth at Dragon's Tooth. When I was young there was no steel stepping bars or luxuries like that, but I sure do like those now that I'm older! Glad you enjoyed our countryside!

There have been plenty of advice to hike before retiring, and I get that. My advice would be, watch for any windows/doors to open up to anything you want, and then GO FOR IT. I was lucky enough to see a partial opening and took it in 2009 when I hiked the AT. If it is something you want, watch and listen through life and go for it. The windows and doors are not always super obvious and in your face, sometimes it is just a crack with dull light, watch and listen carefully. This may apply to more than just hiking. Edit: When I went through this area, McAfee Knob was pouring rain and no view, but later that day when I was at Tinker Cliffs, the sky started opening for the view. I had to take a nice long break up there.

The yellow trail you "bumped" into earlier appears to have blazes that are 2x6" dimensions...a blaze that is usually reserved for the AT, especially in the east coast and trails that close to each other. Compounding the problem is that other blaze is light yellow which can look white at first glance in the sun. Not a lot of thought went into marking that yellow trail.

Wow Frozen comes to the AT, super. That area is definitely one of the top areas for views on the AT, along with Max Patch in NC, and the Smokies north of Newfound Gap, those are my favorites. The trail is always in better shape in areas where there are lots of day hikers. Truth is a lot of the AT is not so nice, there are lots of boulder scrambles on sections, which are punishing and slow you down. The AWOL guide doesn't tell you about that. Glad you met some nice through hikers on the trail. Unfortunately not everyone on the trail is like that, you have the frat boy types out there and the southern Appalachian party crowd. There's lots of bleak mfrs out there who have no idea why they are out there or what the hll they are doing. They are out there because they don't have anything else to do. I think the AT is what you make of it like most things in life. But, if you have a good career I would stick with that, and because of that when you do go on a hike you enjoy it more, because it is an escape from the matrix. I am looking forward to your SHT through hike, oh and leave Gary and the rain home. Awesome video.

Ahh in Las Vegas if the trail is more than couple miles you have to carry at least 4L of water, 5 recommended for all day hike, not always you can find a spring in the desert; I got one of my favorite places here called hidden forest where you hike 10 miles out and back, about 5 miles up mountain to a cabin, kind of moderate hike although it is labeled difficult; thing is no water except a little pipe coming from a mountain spring at the end of the hike that runs all winter and through spring but it may be dry at times during summer, now if this is dry, you need about 4 or 5L of water for your hike and makes it difficult to be an overnight; with normally half liter per mile hiked 5L is about right but then the weight gets on the way.

I would have loved to hear some of those stories....I think a missed opportunity for an interesting video, still a good video as always but maybe next time you can show some of the people you meet and chat up on the trail.

I don't like to get too up close and personal with people I meet on the trail. Reason being is I don't want to take them out of their element and throw social media at them.

that's fair and I admire your ethics, I can imagine the line of making a video and not encroaching on anyone is a fine line to walk.

I never understood the need to spend the whole trip hiking or moving. I can understand getting to a chosen destination or finding a good place to set-up camp...I work hard enough during the week. On the weekend I just want to get away, find a good spot, stay there and just relax.

+Mark Sage when I get a chance to get out and see these beautiful places I want to see as much of the area as I can. Everyone hikes different, there is no wrong way to do it. Sometimes I plan very short hikes and chill at camp with my buddies.

Jason/Frozen, Awesome video! One of your best, if not the best! I noticed that you didn't use your new Hammock Gear tarp. I'm thinking about getting that tarp and was curious why you didn't take the HG tarp on this trip. Again, awesome video.

@FrozensAdventures 7 жыл бұрын

+ChuckGC59 said it in the video but it's getting fixed. I thought the d rings we're sewn at the wrong angle making the middle very droopy. But it was cut wrong hg is making me a new one . I should have it in a couple weeks.

Thanks for taking us along, the Triple Crown has been on my to do list for a while now. Hopefully next spring, Ii am a little intimidated by the climbs right now. have you done the Grayson Highlands / Mt Rogers in Va yet? Grandson and I are doing some of the LHHT this week. Happy Trails from Piecrust

@FrozensAdventures 7 жыл бұрын

Don't be intimidated by McAfee and Tinker they can easily be done in a day no problem. Dragon's Tooth was a bit of a climb but I was tired at that point. Grayson Highlands and Mt Rogers are on the list. I doubt this year but there is always next year.
