Glad you liked it!

OOO very interesting. The next time I visit I'll have to go through the fat man's squeeze the opposite way like you described. Thanks for some great suggestions!

You should go back and see it again before the fall is done!

The exact date is in the description but I imagine I picked a weekday and went in the morning to make sure I got that feeling of being there alone. Glad the video was able to bring you such nice memories.

@@AdamHoyt In the deepest part of the chasm 4 of us started throwing a frisbee around. You ask someone you don't know for a "little help" to throw it to you, next thing there was 10 frisbees in the air, about 40 people playing and another hundred cheering...when the ranger arrived. The poor guy just about swallowed his whistle. There were no arrests, no injuries, but a bunch of strangers became legendary. Hey, find access to the hill behind Clara Barton School in Oxford. Try going up Prospect Hill Road off Old Depot Road. There are still hints of trails to Big Rock, Giant Rock, The Spring, Split Rock, The Water Tower, and the East Side Stone Wall Trail up to the Power Lines Trail. Some of these may be pretty clear, have dirt bike ruts, but some of them haven't been walked regularly since 1980's. Big Rock, a glacial erratic estimated at 10 tens, Giant rock is bigger, split rock smaller. Last I saw the spring was 1997, still flowing.

Glad you like it!

It’s so fun to explore!

Thank you!

Not yet! I have yet to make any hiking videos for NY yet but want to soon and this seems like a great spot for me to check out. Thanks for the recommendation!

Hey thanks for the suggestion Aidan! I'll be sure to add it to my hike idea spreadsheet. Been looking for some more cool Mass ones now that the leaves are starting to pop around here!

I bet it will be just as fun now as it was then. Rock scrambling is fun at any age!

It was a tie of that being one of the best parts or the climb into the Devil's Coffin.

That formation has always been known as “Fat Man’s Misery”. I alway get nervous with younger kids being so close to the beginning part of it.

James Prophet ya that beginning part is right next to the cliff! Had me nervous as well

Well do it next time you come!

I do

I'm surprised it was even open at that point. They barely let me in with the rocks slightly damp!

You got that right! its about to get serious! The Mt Percival cave video I made should be right up your alley then!

@@AdamHoyt Sounds fun! Thanks!

It wasn't too wet in the springtime??

@@AdamHoyt it was freezing tho and wet and nice video btw i also have named certain rocks you went through

Hey miss you too Ryan! Ya It's certainly been exciting. Unfortunately it has at times hindered my making it to class for my workouts. But I've gotten much better. Keep crushing it!

@@AdamHoyt No doubt you have! Be well my friend! Maybe I'll drop in sometime and get a workout in!

@@ryanpgill Looking forward to it!

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks! 😃 hahaha not the first time people have told me I had a freakishly long tongue 😂

That's interesting. I know I haven't seen any roped climbers there myself. And i know several cavers like the chasm as well. I'll have to check out this other chasm sometime!

One of the most fun!

Now a great reason to come back! Haha

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I hope the trip with your friends goes well. It is such a cool spot! Yes it was just me so every single time I had to go back and grab the camera haha. Extra rock scrambling for me!

@@AdamHoyt We did have a good time there! I somehow still missed a few spots but I've decided to go back again in the near future because it is worth a revisit! And wow, that's amazing you climb so many times for the footage!

Yes it's only .25 of a mile in the scramble portion. A much shorter drive and hike compared to Monadnock Plus you can still easily have your picnic afterwards!

Bring on all the notches!

hahahaha You may not realize this but this was the very first video I ever made. I literally did not own them yet. hahaha I was still honing the look. The Back pack is different too!

@@AdamHoyt I thought you were matching your shorts and pack. Colour coordinated. Seen one with you with long pants too. I thought, am I on the right channel?😂 which one did you meet Taylor at the top of? Was that Madison? Did she feature on your vid as you did on hers? That was the first time I saw you. Really enjoying it by the way. Love the way you rate your hikes. I'll probably never get to do any of them being in the UK but they are a great watch.

@@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling hah the long pants for when it’s colder haha. I have not posted that one from Taylor’s video. Not till next month. But we did a winter one together a few months ago that was pretty crazy!

@@AdamHoyt look forward to seeing that. It will be full circle. I hope you have recorded enough to keep me hooked throughout winter or will you be winter hiking too? Either way I'm working through your back vids and really enjoying them. Thank you Adam.

@@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling I do have a bunch of fall footage which will take me to January. I do do some winter hikes, which you can see in the back catalog. Not my favorite haha. But I do plan to do a few this winter, and maybe some less snowy more exotic parts of the USA outside of the Northeast.

All of the short clips from the intro were filmed on or around Percy peaks nh

Really? I NEED TO GO THERE@@AdamHoyt

Glad you enjoy it! I think you'll love it. And luckily though I would not say you have to be in any shape at all to hike this trail. Just have to glow slow and steady it is rather short. That's what makes it fun for the whole family!

@@AdamHoyt Except for the fat man, of course. 😉

@@cameronconway8509 ooo yes 🤣

.

The address is in the video description.

well I have been told I made it look more interesting than it actually was.. 😂

and all his minions!

@@AdamHoyt I’m going to have to do a Halloween hike here one year :)

For sure!
