    First husband wife trip

    Wife had a blast...first night (last weekend) we camped at campsite 5 off crooked arm trail in GSMNP at Cades Cove.

    Later that weekend we did a day hike to Mt Camerer from Cosby via Low Gap Trail...steepest hike of my early hiking backpacking experience so far!

    Looks like fun


    Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success.

    Thanks! I watched shugs last couple video tips YT videos and hope to make these better - we had just a blast

    The bear sightings were awesome.

    I was parodying a hunting video with the buck sighting - my father in law watches hunting shows on repeat allllll day

    I thought you did a good job on the video. Were you nervous when you ran into the bear?

    A bit

    Like 20 people passed it without issue

    I also had bear spray out and on the ready and never got too close!

    I felt it was safe enough at that distance - like 40-50 yds

    Spray was out on the ready too
