    ViDEO: Hammocking & Ambling on the Superior Hiking Trail Parts 1&2

    Badly needed woods time was had. Just two nights. On the Superior Hiking Trail here in Minnesota. 4 1/2 hour drive up for me. No permits needed. No fees.
    Was going solo but as fate would have it....ended up hiking with a memeber here, alifeoutdoors and his hound Sadie. Both of them strong hikers and love being out there.
    Right goodie of a time. It was nice to have some interaction of the human and canine type on the trail. As a loner I need that from time to time.
    Weather was perfect. Cool and the sun was warm.
    Slept in my Chameleon hammock and it is so comforable. Used my HG top quilt. Oh so luxurious. Frankenquilt topped...or should I say...bottomed it all off. My DIY Blackcrow tarp kept me cozy.

    A superb backwoods video. Beautiful scenery and, quite clearly, magnificent springtime weather. Really liked the musical soundtrack too! I got one of the very first production Chameleons (#5) and have been spending a lot of time hanging in it this spring. I concur; the design in Hexon 1.6 is super comfortable. Glad to hear you got the restorative time you sought.

    Thanks for starting my Memorial Day weekend off right. Saw your post on YouTube then came to the forum to send you a note. Looking forward to part 2. I'm hoping to get out during the next few weeks with my dog, Ben after our granddaughter is born.

    Just watched part 2. Great trip. Good advice throughout too. Clothing discussion makes sense. I'm still learning how to manage layers hiking and in camp. I've decided best to always have one more layer of something beyond what I believe I'll need. Last time out I had to loan that spare down layer to a bud who packed too lightly for the cold wind.

    Good to see you back Shug, I also just returned from a nice get away and I really needed the break just like you mentioned. I have the Superior trail on my list so thanks for showing its beauty.

    There may have been a fire lookout tower close to the trail years ago. The insulator would have come from the phone line that would have been strung tree to tree along the trail. The lines were taken down once radios became more reliable but the large spike would be an indicator that live trees were used in order to string the copper wire for a phone line.

    Beautiful spot to hang there! Nothing like sleeping next to flowing water.
