    Great video, fantastic trip! I have more than once come out from Borden Bridge and gone straight to that same Jack's, if it is the one south of there at Double Springs! You guys look like a fun bunch! If you ever need an extra backpacking partner, just let me know! I'm 70, like your guy who was lost. But I don't hardly get lost, and I can maybe keep up with you young folks if you don't race! Thanks for posting this!

    Looks like a great trip. Hopefully the guy made it back to his vehicle. That upper Fall Creek falls camp site is a nice one isn't it. Thanks for sharing your trip with us and good to see you back on the trail.

    Great video! It was only missing one thing...ME! Definitely makes me want to get back out there. Looks like a fun trip and that 2nd night campsite was gorgeous!

    Thanks for sharing your trip! I love the hot pink quilt in the middle of all the dark and camouflage. It brightens up the campsite and brings a bit of joy.

    If I can get out of the house some weekend, I'd love to join a trip. I'm trying to get some guys from work out there as well.

    We’re supposed to go to Cheaha not this weekend but the next, hopefully they won’t bail. Come out if you wanna.

    As always, a great video. Brought back a lot of great memories of all my hikes in the Sipsey. Wanda (my wife) and I camped just off 200 (Borden Creek Trail) back before we found our love for hanging. I have been sick for the last 4 months, but my doctors finally discovered what was causing my problems and I am on the mend. Hope to be well enough to do a trip by mid-February. Last January, Tammy and I got up at 4 am and drove from Dothan, Alabama, to the Bankhead NF for a short hike down to Caney Creek falls. We then drove around to the Kinlock Falls just inside the Sipsey Wilderness before heading home. That was the last time I have been able to hike. Your videos give me the desire to get back out. If the dates fall right, we will see you at the Spring hang. Thank You, Ashley.
