This was excellent! I know exactly where you were the whole time and I totally know how much you want to savor the Bonds! Good work here. I also filmed Bond Cliff, but it was early in my career haha. I've come a long way.

Let's gooooooo!

Add a few platform anchors to your tent setup and ditch the rocks for a better setup .Love the Kinsmans and hope to get there soon. Great video ,thanks for sharing your adventure .

So glad you're getting better. When fixing the body, slow is way to go!

It's great to see you again - I've missed your videos! So sorry you injured your knee but taking it slow will allow you to heal fully. I'm excited for your next adventure - in the back yard or wherever! 🙂

Great video! I learned so much!

So good to hear from you. Keep up the PT. I can totally relate - can't live normal life right now. I've been diagnosed with L5 S1 (bulging disc / nerve injury). My hiking has come to abrupt end for now. Looks you're progressing well. You Take care & take time to heal.

Excellent pack, my Kelty‘s been with me to some awesome backcountry.

Speedy recovery!

Glad to hear that you won’t need surgery. May you have a speedy recovery and enjoy your beautiful garden. The mountains will still be there, if you choose to go back. Car camping is fun, too, especially with all the luxury items that you would never backpack with. I look forward to seeing your next adventure, whatever it might be.

Enjoy hiking 😁

Sending positive energy & healing prayers.

Glad to hear you are getting better! Question. What are those really blue flowers you showed us?

Hight is the cherry on the top It's beautiful

Hope your recovery goes well. The cozy camp area looks idyllic. Can’t wait til you can get out there with all your new gear.

You are an amazing teacher, Rachel. You were born to teach!

Thanks for the update as I have missed your adventures you share. Take it easy and continue to make progress. Your garden is gorgeous and so is Millie.

Sorry to hear about your knee. I had a torn meniscus diagnosed over the winter and had minor surgery back in March. Now I'm running and hiking again. I wish you a speedy recovery!

Sorry to hear, I literally feel your pain having arthritis and torn meniscus 's in both knees 😩 Wish you a speedy recovery!!!

After my fall Sunday, minor by comparison, I will bring and have my hiking poles available. Keep conservation hikes in mind. I really enjoy your photography.

Welcome to the comfortable world of lightweight cots. It was a gamechanger for me. Took it to Philmont and most camping trips. And always have a chair.... Good to hear your recovery is coming along....and even an elusive sight of Tom in a video.

Just discovered your channel really loving it. I’m sorry that you hurt yourself knee injuries. Take a long time. I had my knees replaced, but I was out hiking again five months later so it does take a while speedy recovery.

That’s terrible to hear. I had a foot injury once and didn’t walk for almost the year at all. I know what it’s like. Looks like you’re getting better though slowly which is good.

I hope you get better soon.❤😊🤠

So that's what you've been up to. I recently checked to see if I had missed one of your videos. Glad you're on the mend. Fall is so much nicer for hiking anyway. Take care!

Good to have you back and thanks for all the updates. Glad that you do not have to undergo surgery 👍 Hope your therapy and home remedies speeds up the r recovery process. Camping sounds very cool for a soft start. And you are always so good at doing out the outdoor things 👍. Mean while, enjoy your time. Your beautiful garden is lushed with various different plants and flowers 👍. So nicely are they maintained and kept. 👍👍👍. I like the audio that you been listening too “ a book of Joy”. Once again, good luck and all the best for Speedy recovery 👍

So glad to see you're making forward progress and no surgery is needed.

We look forward to your hiking, camping videos and you are known to us as Rachel aunty. We have started hiking and camping as newbies in the US. We invest our time in being in the nature. We check out your videos if you have been to a campsite that we have booked and we definitely find a video on it from your channel. Wishing you a faster recovery ❤

Sorry to hear about your fall. Glad you’re on the mend. Bet Millie is enjoying all that one on one time with you and sampling all your cooking experiments. I’ve seen those Korean camping videos as well. Takes glamping to a whole new height. Looking forward to your next videos when you’re all well and ready for an adventure.

Thyme heals all wounds

Yikes! We're here for you, rest and recuperate.

Thank you for the update. Hope you continue to heal and are able to get out on trail soon!

Take care. I can't wait to see you back on the trails. Healing prayers 🙏

Hope your recovery continues at a steady pace!

Oh NO!! 😢 yeah, one thing you learn quickly when you run and cycle regularly, is to ice without hesitation on any kind of twinge, however severe, or not. Super you don't need surgery.

Wishing you recovery and 'joy'. Injury is part of the journey. Rather idyllic place to heal too.

I get the same issue with my knees. Sometimes it gets aggravated for no reason and I have to take a break from life for at least a few weeks. Totally understand the sanity part! You literally can’t think clearly because of the pain. It just randomly gets better for me. One day I can’t bend or walk and a day later it’s totally fine. Good luck! Those videos are amazing. I get a lot from Fire Maple, ThousWinds, Nature Hike, and Redcamp. Going to start a IGT setup. Looking forward to see what you get. Oh there’s also a foldable charcoal starter 😉

Rachel great to see you on the rebound. One year ago July 24 I somehow got an infection that went straight to my 4 month old hip replacement things went down hill very fast They removed my hip replacement and sent me home after 6 week’s in the hospital along with a bunch of new complications to deal with while waiting for the infection to heal. Finely On December 19 I received my new hip. So far so good kinda. I did all my rehab and PT that my insurance would cover. I now can walk short distances using my cane or sometimes I use trekking poles. Just recently I got to thinking about water walking so I got in a swimming pool and just walk back and forth in the shallow end. What a difference I feel so much stronger plus it just feels so much better walking without a cane. If you can maybe give this a try and look for good results. NeXT challenge is to try and shed weight. With absolutely no activity and just sitting all these months I have promptly gained almost 70 pounds. Wishing you the very best in health and try and be patient with yourself

Glad you don't need surgery! Keep at that physical therapy, we have so missed your videos!! Happy to go camping with you anytime haha

I've been thinking of you since your fall and wondering how you've been doing. Thank you for the update, and I'm so glad you're recovering. I love your hiking videos, but I miss the days of your car camping and campground tours, so I look forward to the adventures you might have in store as you heal your knee. Take good care of yourself, Rachel.

Shorter hikes and smaller hills work your self back up. If I ever meet you at or around Clark's Bears I'll take you out for Finnan Haddie and it's still Mount Moose-ah-Luke as in Cool Hand Luke

Well I’m thrilled to see and hear of your progress as your subscribers will be quite pleased to see as well. I also have been thinking more of car camping and started watching KZfaq contributors from the UK. They are most enjoyable and the cooking will put you out into your cooking lab, daily! Kent Survival; Simon a bloke in the woods; andrew park, to name a few. Enjoy your rest!!!!

Glad you hear you're on the mend, looking forward to your camping videos.

Thanks for the update. Was thinking of you last week while staying at Dolly Copp and fishing the many streams in that area. Keep up with the PT and hit it hard it really pays off.

Hey Rachel, thanks for the update. I had feared the worst after not hearing from you for a few weeks so I'm happy that your knee is improving, albeit slowly. I look forward to seeing you upgrade your camping game while sharing your beautiful photography as you make the most of the summer within your current limitations. Katahdin and all the other big mountains will be there when you are ready. Take care.

Sorry to hear about your injury. I was wondering why I hadn't been seeing any recent hiking videos from you. Now I know why. I wish for you a speedy recovery. If I found myself in your circumstances, I would be taking the time I might otherwise be hiking to enhance my camping and woodcraft skills, which is exactly what you appear to be doing. By the way, I was pleased to see the shirt your are wearing at 9:05. I am that Franconian that left a comment a while back about Fishin' Jimmy. Hello again.

Thank you for checking in with us. We figured something happened. We missed seeing new videos. Take care and get well.

If you haven't done so already...ice ice ice! Can't express strongly enough the importance of icing, even months later. Is a key factor in comfort and quickest healing process (I paid dearly for that knowledge decades ago, btw). I know the restless feeling you must have but your body will pick-up right where you left off because you've already done the hard work. Best wishes.

Ouch! You'll bounce back this fall. Love your grill, I've been looking at those. Interesting to see it in operation - thanks! Its really hot on the trails now. We got flooded out of our campground in Vt last week - evacuated at 4:00 AM. Hang in - better times and better weather coming.

I enjoy car camping and also enjoy grilling over the campground fire rings. I have a stainless grate from an old gas grill that I bring along because those grates at the fire rings often have large gaps between the individual grates. I lay it over the other one and I never have to worry about food falling through. You can't beat steaks and foil-pack roasted potatoes. I hope you are able to enjoy the outdoors while you heal up.
