Grew up, and still goto Tionesta often! Awesome to see it in your video!

Just found this channel. Wasn't expecting the scripture reading at the 20 minute mark and was pleasantly surprised. Subscribed and liked specifically because of that alone. We just got a used 08 jkur and installed new springs, shocks, and tires. We are contemplating a trip to Penn this July for the mother earth news fair. Great camping video as well!

😘👍❤️

Great video brother and God bless you!!!

Cool video. I’m from Erie County PA. Tionesta is actually pronounced Tie-oh-nesta

Looks like you stayed at Robin Island above Belltown when you camped. I’ve camped there many times myself. If you came from Ohio you sure took the scenic route to get there. I’m sure you went through Tionesta. Is that other town Ridgway? Then you went down through Hallton? It looks like it. Maybe you went that way intentionally. I don’t know. That one place you filmed after you left looks vaguely familiar. Like above Marienville somewhere. Oh, and if that is indeed Robin Island, there is a spring tucked back in the woods about 50 yards straight back from your tent site. No need to sleep with your water and risk a leak in your tent. Nice video. That’s some of my favorite territory.

Very nice. I still say it should be illegal for jeep to sell the Wrangler with an automatic transmission.

Hey Matt. I am in Maryland and was wondering if you would be interested in hooking up this spring on the Canaan loop. Let's me know, and God Bless.

I also wanted to congratulate you on Season 3. I really appreciate a humble guy learning to Overland locally in Ohio (and Pennsylvania) and sharing with the rest of us. You have shown there is a lot of overlanding opportunities in Ohio just a few hours away. Great job.

I'm impressed you start your fire that way even when you are so cold....I admit I use fire starter aids rather than take all that additional time being cold.

Kinzua bridge is epic man. Allegheny is awesome.

Really enjoy your videos. I found them searching for Ohio overlanding and/or camping. I'm in south east Ohio, Middletown. Please keep the videos coming.

Loved it! I grew up in NW Pa. in both Meadville and Oil City. Went to Clarion University in Clarion, Pa. Haven't been to the Forest in many many years. Loved the view of the Tionesta Dam. I was in that very spot a couple of years ago as I have a fraternity brother who lives in Warren, Pa. which is close to Tionesta. If you ever feel like having an extra old guy and Shorty the dog tag along, my Gazelle tent and gear is always ready to go. Great trip Matt. Thank's for sharing.

Great video, Matt. Merry Christmas!

Another great adventure Matt. Thanks

I was up in the ANF back in July, doing some fly fishing for native trout and dispersed camping. Had a great time with new streams and a new campsite every night. Was hoping to get back there now in January to do the same, although my schedule hasn’t seen eye to eye with me. Hopefully soon though. I was dying as I watched you stop at those two streams, I so wished I was there with fly rod in hand. Anyway I am from central NJ and love seeing places that aren’t really all that far away. I think the wife and I are headed out to Ohio in March for a week so some of your stuff might come in handy. Thanks for sharing! Look forward to more adventures

Great video. I’ve always wanted to camp in ANF. Thank you!

I enjoyed your video. The various bridges and streams you pass by look awesome. The overlanding you do adds so much to your trip and video. My Tacoma doesn’t have a winch so not as confident as you when going solo. I was camping this week (Ohio) with overnight lows in the 20s as well. My water strategy is to measure out my water for coffee and oatmeal in my pot and French press the night before. Even if they freeze I can boil in those pots in the morning. Also I have a 2 liter Bubba double wall bottle I put Hot water in the night before and the water is still warm in the morning. I need to learn the Gaia app as it seems to work well for you.

Setting my truck up for some overlanding and looking at your video of Allegheny forest looks awesome. I'm new at this and maybe you could give some routs for a nice private site.

Enjoyed your video, I recognized your first campsite ( Clarion River) . We have a hunting cabin not far from that spot. I hope you checked out the info plaques along that road. They give you some interesting info on the history of that area.

Looking forward to trying out my Gazelle. I usually make a yearly trip in May from Ottawa, Ontario to Dayton (Xenia) Ohio. Will be using my T4 on my trip.

I live in Western PA and started overlanding this year. Try some of the PA state forest sites the next time you venture over here. Can reserve spots online up to 3 months ahead of time. Site are very private, free and nice! Love the videos, keep up the good work! Can I email you for the map coordinates of this trip? 👍

Hi Matt, great video as always. Are you willing to share the map files for this trip? Thanks!

Try to go to Allegheny every now and then. It's been awhile now I need to get back. What are your favorite routes if you remember?

Merry Christmas matt! Hey dude where was that big puddle on the Forest Road? It is at about 27 minutes and 56 seconds

Great content Matt. What camera/mic setup did you use at the 31 min mark? Audio sounded great and the video was crystal clear.

Nice video. Did you use any source of heat in the tent that night?

SITE LOCATION: This is not 100% but I was able to locate the area and this will get you super close to his exact spots since he didn't list them. 41.46582, -78.83656
