You know...your mileage is nothing to be disappointed about. That's actually pretty darn good for those hills. That's a lot of elevation change.
I'll catch your video soon...its next up on my...
Love the Gila, gotta be one of the most beautiful areas in America. To me anyway. I'll catch the video asap and leave a comment on it. Just a little tiedup right now. I know your videos are amazing...
Interesting to see that frontcountry bed used in a RR! I have no doubts it will work fine.
It is easy to get drafts from a TQ pulling out! I had that this morning about 3:30 and had to re-shift a...
It just doesn't get any better than a lazy style trip with all the amenities one could ask for. We spared no weight...an axe and saw for great fire to cook our amazing steaks and lamb chops. We took...
Awesome i hope you like them. I wanted to do parts 2 - 5 videos independently for each section so that when people do a google or youtube search they can find info on those trail sections to serve as...
So true!
Update on the poor trail conditions of Arch Mountain:
I emailed the officials at the CTC (Cumberland Trails Conference) and the Cumberland Trails State Park about the maintenance...
Nice setup you have there! Man it's been a long time since hiking up there. It was in the dead of summer and we got eat up with ticks. Didn't help we had accidentally forgotten the bug spray in the...
Great idea...I've wanted a ridgeline too, it seems handy to hang a few things inside the RR. Gonna try this mod.
Finally got these edited and uploaded. I couldn't edit the OP i did a few weeks ago, so i'll just start a new thread and put these three into it.
My sole purpose in making these videos is to...
Wow i'm just in awe of such stunning views. I adore that country up there and would love to spend a few weeks out paddling and camping and exploring there. I especially love the overcast misty days...
I just entered 2nd video of series into the OP
If you know how and have the right tools, you can geo-reference your own maps. However...for .99 ea i will just buy them. A lot of National Parks/BLM has them for free download. The State of Tenn...
Welcome back, we all need to have our priorities straight like you do and sometimes that means taking a break from certain things. I too will have things that are more important and i will take a few...
Excellent...you can read more at www.cumberlandtrail.org and find maps at www.cumberlandtrail.guide including interactive mapping.

Thanks guys. I'm loading the 2nd video right now. May take a week or two to get the third one edited and uploaded.
My goal is to have the intro then do one video for each section as a way to have...
I have used used a down throw in between an lighter UQ and the bottom of the hammock and it seemed to provide a remarkable amount of insulation...probably because of the amount of gap it takes up. It...
Too bad the temperatures changed like they did...leading up to the trip it had been highs in the low 70's and lows in the low 50's at night. That changes to 80s and 60's. Poo!
The good thing was...
thanks Cabmanhang...enjoyed making that one.
This was a 5 day 52 mile trip that i had been contemplating for over a year. My wife kept making references of wanting to go, so I finally asked, "Do you WANT to go?" The rest is history!
This is...
Very successful fishing! I'm not a very good fisherman sadly...I sure would love to catch some that nice. The Canoes are amazing!
My wife and I are planning a big backpacking trip soon and she decided to buy a TQ, not just for the trip but for future use as well. I gave her a list of vendors to look at and let her be. She...
My first cold weather setup was the Phoenix 40 with the homemade down throw under it. On one frigid night i put an insulated pad in the hammock to achieve single digits. It gave me the option to use...
Most everything has been touched on, but I will add from experience that since you are a side sleeper then i HIGHLY recommend a thick pad of at east 2" so that you can let the loft of the pad have...
If you still have the Noah 9
and would be coming up I24 through Murfreesboro, I'll take it.
Regarding the App, I guess i'm just "old school" and don't like figiting with keeping up with it. I tried an app like that for running back a few years ago and it just became a nuisance to me. So i...

Couldn't agree more with you. I'm curious about how to run a GPS track on a trip...I'm making plans on a 65 miler and I think i should have good GPS-ability along the way. I remember reading one of...
Been gone awhile from HF as several home projects have sprung up that i've had to attend to. So i've put off all outdoor trips for months now and i've been aching to get back out...but the heat of...
Enjoyed the vid. Good to see you back in the proverbial saddle again. Keep it rolling buddy!
I get it...we don't value the things close to home. It is a nice trail and worth the effort!
makes you feel alive and heightens your senses!
Spectacular views Kurt. Excellent job making the video and basically making a trail encyclopedia! Those ascents are the real deal.
Hats are not waterproof. Mostly alpaca hair! Breathes most well.
When i was editing it struck me that i forgot to finish the shirt story. Sadly, the shirts wouldn't fit me. The Inca descendants are...
The extended forecast has lots of rain!...but sometimes you just have to get out there, rain or shine!
Thanks bro...was a blast being out there in the quite woods.
I knew what i was getting into when i decided to hike in the rain. The WBRR and superfly combo worked great and kept me dry and i slept like a baby.
There was something special about being in the...
Nice job! Commented on your channel and subbed.
I live about 1.5 hrs away from there, so I've been on those trail numerous times. It's an amazing location for being in Mid Tenn and not having to...
Enjoyed it and commented in youtube...i'm the one trying to explain the geology in one sentence...sigh...
How about that connector trail? Can get tough.
Close call! I will often pack a few hand warmers in case of emergency...goes a long way toward warming the body. Thanks for posting the experience. Keep the tarp pulled low and tight, right?
Nice sound!
I think that nails it.
Too bad we can't start life with wisdom...the way it's setup, the more wisdom we get the less time we have to use it!
Sadly ironic.
Yes sirree!
Been trying to buy that but they are in high demand and on backorder for months. I have the Husq version and I can't imagine anything chopping better. Got a video from last year chopping...
Cool man thank you for that
Stan
Thanks...so true about the Dads.
Last weekend me and my friend (trail name Butter) had a great trip with all sorts of happenings. Hope you enjoy. We had a blast.
I thought I would dedicate this to my late Dad with whom I walked...
Frozen Feet might be a fitting trail name? Scott was hilarious with those bags! his voice went to high pitch quickly!
Yea, kind of weird on that. I did relax in the hammock...and I filmed a little. But I didn't know until I got back that the camera was off for part of it. I had some footage I could have used, but...
I have been using a virtually exact setup to what you're proposing for two years. The RidgeRunner plus sleeping bag (from my tent days) is a 15 degree Nemo and the pad is the exact same Exped SynMat...
Thanks Canoefor2...bet that snow was great...always gives me a peaceful feeling unless i’m driving in it!
