65 mph gale force winds. Below feeezing temperatures. Snow, rain , hail, sleet and ice. This was ideal conditions to go camping for 2 nights in the winter up in the Catskill Mountains, NY. The...
You make great videos! Glad i was able to help you out in a pinch! Yes, Deer make a gnarly grunting sound for sure and there are plenty of them in Harriman. Its a safe ground for them because, as...
Thats true about the dispersed camping, it was just that there did not seem to be many good spots for 2 hammocks and my bivy/tarp. It was also getting late in day after hard grueling miles, nasty...
Yes. I have mixed feelings about it. If I stayed in the lean to.. then ok, maybe .. but we literally camped in the woods and still had to pay!

Lol.. busy with life.. yes understandable.. you should try to get them back out there with you.. that is LIFE.. the wilderness!! Try.. even if its a simple car camping overnight trip, maybe that...
Thanks. Well I always, for years used no hipbelt. I would always use my Gossamer Gear Hilpster or Bumster. Always worked just fine. Sometimes I would use shoulder pockets or water bottle shoulder...
Haha.. Nice. That's a shame about the parking area and trash. Too bad, but thankfully it stayed in the lot and not into the woods! Nap?? You should have camped!! Nice video, thanks for posting.
Hahhaa.. Yes I got winded.. It was slightly steep.. And I was filming with one hand and talking.. So they did one up me!! Heck.. Even without all that 16 and 17 years old better move like a gazel up...
Thanks obdewlax. Its probably a popular site even though its an unmarked trail..and close to a road too.. But it was mostly clean, though some small pieces of broken glass in the fire pit.. Other...
@ Twistytee thankyou!! Yes the Silpoly slip over cover for the Ursack is perfection. A few years ago after hiking the Loyalsock trail with my son, and it rained hard overnight, both our Ursacks...
Yeah Bob.. he was really really big. And yes that spot is awesome.. but i did here road noise at night.. the main downfall from camping there. It wasnt much.. but at about 2 am i heard what sounded...
Took 2 of my kids to Harriman for a short 10 mile hike on Friday and we found a great spot to camp with pretty amazing views. The hike was typical Harriman ups and downs with some scenic views,...
The snow made it a fun trip!! Yes snowshoeing out was HARD.. but sometimes the hard (not so fun) things are what make memories!
Thanks @ Adroa.. the white hot chocolate is delicious.. so is the Irish Cream one!! I have been sleeping on the ground again, so for me it was just basically that. Also, in those conditions, its...
@ Jamie.. thankyou!! Gotta laugh at us doing it in style!! Definitely rode out that storm. It was a whopper!!
Baaahahaaa.. seriously!! Even another half mile and we could have been stuck!
Sharing a video of our latest venture into the Catskill mountains during a severe winter snow storm. The forecast was calling for 1 - 2 feet of snow. Mother Nature had other plans and dumped 2 - 3...

That's what i was thinking this morning on train ride to work. 2 things.. #1. Do that full loop around to check out that area we did not. #2. As we hiked into that area.. to our left on that mountain...
Thanks odbewlax! Sure was spectacular colors especially the glowing sunset over the lake surrounded by colorful trees..
Yeah Bob. That was fun. Sometimes an easy short but scenic hike and plenty of time to sit around a sweet camp spot and take it all in is really nice. I was thinking today, it would have been nice to...

Im usually down with it.. just depends on work and family schedule..but I do try to get out often.
That's pretty sweet.
Whoaaa.. Sweet spot in Harriman!!
Awesome. #1 That you still got out there and did something.. You made it happen. That's so important because sometimes its easy to do nothing and then wish you did something. #2. Beautiful area for...
Thank you. Such a nice area along Long Lake. I would definitely recommend thru hiking it.. If you can take extra time.. 10-12 days would be nice. So much beauty to see out there. I went southbound.....
That is a beautiful area!! West Canada Lake Wilderness area was absolutely stunning!!
Thanks obdewlax. I don't mind the hi mileage too much, since I enjoy spending the day walking. Sure is nice though at about 15 miles. Yes, I only had 8 days so I did have to push extra miles in...

Thankyou!! I filmed what I could.. and truth be told.. many of the 143.5 miles was blasting through the woods with not much to see.. well i shouldn't say not much to see because being in the...
Thanks Bob. 12 - 14 days out there would have been the sweet spot for sure. That would leave time to sleep in, hang out, hike slowly, get to camp early and kill the evening. I pretty much woke at...

Some shots of the bug bivy and my views..
@ Obdewlax..The bivy is interesting but honestly not the best for everyone. I actually love using my other bivies, the MLD Superlight or the MLD eVent Soul, or the Borah Gear Snowyside eVent way...
A return to Harriman State Park where I hike 21 miles over the course of 1 day and make camp at a beautiful lake for the night. This is a longer video then usual and I do go over all the gear I...
So the majority of time was spent was inside that tent in the shelter. The tent is MSR Access 1P, pitched without the fly. My air pad was Neoair X-Therm long/wide and I also used thermarest z lite...
Exactly Bob!! I know you recognize that spot!! How many times i have blown through that area.. I finally decided to stop and camp there!
