ViDEO: Neusiok Trail NC with the Hickery Brothers Part 1

[Stubbed my toe]

My son and I just did our first hang on this trail about a month ago. Had a great time. How bout the flavor of that pump water? Wooo Buddy

Yeah, whenever there's pump water I'll bring my Hiker Pro pump that has a charcoal filter. I'll safe the BeFree and Sawyers for the mountain springs/rivers. Did this trail in it's entirety a year or so ago, but have been back to the North Eastern half several times for overnights. Its true there's no rocks to look out for, but still gotta keep your eyes on the ground; I've never been there when we didn't see at least one snake on the trail. Copperheads and Cottonmouths are in abundance. I think pigmy rattlesnakes too, but I've not seen one yet. Great place for herpetology.

Great Video Shug, awaiting part 2 on baited breath!

While there are poisonous snakes on the trail, I have yet to see any of them. I do see lots of Black snakes, Yellow Rat Snakes and Rough Green Snakes. Rattlesnakes are rare in this area.

Hickery and Shug got to the parking lot where I was to met them to give them a ride just before I did. All of Shug's camping gear was still in his suitcase so he had to take everything out and pack it into his pack for the hike. I think he spent more time going thru the meals he brought for the week trying to decide which ones to take than he did anything else. I took the opportunity to take a few pictures

The scramble to boot up and get on it!

Yessir. We had intended to have a nice January or February stroll, but life got in the way as it tends to...

Life will do that.

Yeah, coastal water always has a unique pew.

Been wanting to do this trail for awhile now...maybe in the fall...great video!

It awaits you.

We never did even see a snake. But birds in abundance.

Aye.

I've always felt like herpetology wins the contest for "things that aren't what they sound like".

Nice. I like the photos. Hickory has a maz gear sticker. Still waiting for Maztrain to build a doggie hammock for Leloo!!! Cool.

Not sure where to begin. Always good to see you and Hickery out on the trail. Am looking forward to the next installment of the Neusiok Trail story. Thanks for explaining the Eldorado.
