Thank you for this; more Tubers need to share vids of this sort. I don't mean the 'fail', the rainy slop and all that. I mean the obsession over dead trees, the sticks tangled up in tangled line as you you try, and fail, multiple bear line throws, the self doubt, the questioning if one's sanity. These are the realities that plague us all that discourage novice backpackers. These issues are never seen in the usual 'highlight reel' vids, so novices think they are failing because they have these frustrations, problems and doubts.

i failed my first attempted through hike. destroyed my feet and legs and could barely walk on trail and i luckly came across the trail mantainance team in there jeep and i got a ride out. i just did a kayak camping trip and on the second day, most of the primitive campsites were taken up by car campers. the only other sites were cabin sites that you had to reserve which we obviously couldnt do. and also alot of private land with posted signs. so i had to risk it and found a spot with no posted signs cuz i needed somewhere to sleep lol. it was very frustrating but all in all still an amazing time. @outdoor adventures this was the same clarion river trip you did awhile back and i gave it a go. i loved it

I grew up in this area. “Dry as a bone” is not a weather condition that you associate with the this part of the state. But it has been a wet summer. For those who hike in the Cranberry wilderness, you should probably put aside the notion of “normal” mileage. Most of the trails are pretty rugged. But the work is worth it. This is a quietly beautiful spot of the world.

As the old adage goes, crap happens :) Failure is a part of the learning process. Since the age of ten in Ohio I've been solo hiking and camping. At 73 I'm still experiencing minor issues. However, the joy of being a part of nature is constant. You can't have full control of all the elements involved, i.e. weather, gear failure, etc. I have been wanting to go backpacking in Dolly Sods for some time; did the Cranberry Wilderness two years ago. I don't mind my feet getting wet in warm weather but in cold, different story. You just reminded me to wear my rubberized hiking (hunting) boots and not use a tent. Thanks for sharing, Frozen. Be safe.

By the end of the third day we had gotten lost ended up in the middle of a swamp and had every gear failure you could think of. By the time we walked out I dont think there was a dry piece of gear among us. It was miserable at the time but I still look back and remember how much fun we had.

I on the other hand would bailed just because I was miserable and pissed off losing my shoe all the time (yes, it has happened to me more than once)

Frozen - I have learned so much from your channel about hammocking! I plan on thru hiking the AT in 2022 and I have a question for you. Cold weather backpacking .... when it is necessary to store your battery and sawyer and phone (& whatever else you want to keep warm - maybe shoes and socks) in your bag with you overnight, how do you do that? Just throw them in a stuff sack in the toe box of your bag? I find myself will all sorts of things everywhere in the hammock. I have a ridge line organizer but the stuff that needs to stay warm.... i gotta fins a storage solution for those. Thanks for all the good content you put out!
