I have always enjoyed the outdoors and nature. I usually spend my time outdoors whether it's hiking, camping, running, biking, kayaking, gardening, and many other fun activities. My hope is to document all my travels and fun activities as a way to keep track of it all and hopefully to inspire you to also have a good time in nature. I hope you enjoy.

Channel Update - Homestead Intro
Переглядів 292 роки тому
Hey everyone thanks for following along so far! My channel is going to take a little bit of a turn here. We just purchased an old farmhouse on 1 acre and are hoping to do some homesteading. At the least we want to start growing a lot of our own food. I also just want to push the boundaries on what can be done on less than an acre. Can we raise enough animals and have a big enough garden to feed...

Our House Adventure | We moved into our fixer upper!
Переглядів 1023 роки тому
About 3 years ago we bought a house as a fixer upper. This was supposed to be a quick flip, but as life happens, we have had it for 3 years and it has been much more of a project than we initially thought it would be. This project occupies a lot of the time that I would normally be outdoors and in nature, I wanted to show you the adventures that I work on in the evenings and weekends when I'm n...

This is an original section of the Appalachian Trail that connects the Triple Crown (Tinker Cliff, Mcafee Knob, and Dragons Tooth). The final elevation gain was 6200 ft total over 23 miles. We started at about 7 in the morning and finished around 5:30 that night. Ver...
I Spent A Day Farming (Pumpkins, Apples, and Corn)
Переглядів 233 роки тому
#outdoor #adventure #oneilladventures I spent a day farming! I started off touring a 40 acre pumpkin farm and small family orchard that had just started. I then hooked up with a buddy 'o mine to drive a truck chopping corn. It had been about 2-3 years since I had been in a truck riding next to a chopper and it felt great to be out doing it!

Trail Beef Jerky Recipe | Trail Talk Tuesday #3
Переглядів 573 роки тому
#hiking #outdoors #adventure Beef jerky is one of the best snacks you can have out on the trail. It's delicious, nutritious, and it's packed with protein and fats. It is perfect as it can last for a few months in the fridge/freezer and will keep well over a couple days in your pack. Let me know in the comments how you make your beef jerky or if you add any other spices. Recipe: 1lb of bottom or...
100 Mile Overnight Bike Ride | New River Trail State Park
Переглядів 16 тис.4 роки тому
#hiking #outdoors #adventure In this video, my sister Hannah and I ride through the New River Trail State Park. This trail is 50 miles long and part of the Rail to Trail program that spans across Virginia made up of hiking/biking trails that were originally railroads and were turned into public trails. We rode this out and back, therefore making up about 100 miles of trail traveled. We stopped ...
Trail Talk Tuesday #2 | Should I Bring Tools With Me?
Переглядів 374 роки тому
#hiking #outdoors #adventure Lots of experts will tell you to leave the multitool/tools at home when you hit the trail. Whether it is backpacking/hiking/cycling, don't leave it at home. Even though it takes up a little bit of weight, it is worth holding onto in case you need it. I promise you, if you need it and don't have it, you are going to wish you packed it. I carry an SOG like this one: s...

Just subscribed. Fine video but please work in your fire starting. I want to bike pack this trail. I live in White Stone, VA. Happy adventures to you both.
Bring jar of Vaseline and cotton balls with you. It's great firestarter.😂
what sort of grade is along the trail?
Sister got an awesome big brother... that adventure is gonna stay forever. Good luck and more adventure to you. Thanks for the video.
Sweet stretch of the 165 mile trail.
Cool adventure. I just did a small section of trail this week. Going back for more. Question, how did you do the map animation? Thanks.
Here for the trail not to watch you chew your meat snack
I'm going there whith my dad on Sunday so excited🎉
It's PULL LASS SKEEE lol
Well in 2016 I did galax to dora junction and back in less than 12 hours ! And still had a blast. I dedicated this ride to my friend who passed in 2012. I think we first rode it in 2008 or 2009 ! We did 96 miles that time
Southern Railroad bought N&W and became Norfolk Southern. Late 80’s, early 90s.
I've been watching videos of this trail and definitely want to ride this one. It's a beautiful tra trail. Thanks for sharing your experience 👍
Your ride is on my bucket list! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Agreed.
Carvins Cove is my favorite place here in Roanoke, VA. I have been there many times.
Good video, thanks
The bars over the cave are to keep people out and allow bats to go in.
I suggest you adjust your seats so one can extend at the knee better.
Norfolk Southern is the merging of Norfolk and Western, and Southern railways in 1982.
Hope she is feeling better soon. Irene needs to get some coveralls and a straw hat, you go girl!
The video was worth the wait!👍
Thank you!
Congratulations on expanding your family. Hope to see some baby lamb pics soon!
Looking forward to watching the adventure!
Such a cool video. subscribed. I'm making 2022 the year of my first century ride. can't wait
Thank you! I’m sure you will enjoy it!
Nice hunt love it when family comes together that's what it's all about good job to all
Thanks for your comment. That is what it’s all about and it was a fun time!
Hi, is that trail mainly hard packed gravel / dirt? Planning on riding it soon in November. Any really loose ground or difficult terrain? Thanks! Great video!!!!
Yes mainly hardpacked gravel. Some spots where there was mud from recent rains. It’s not too loose and very few spots where it was deep gravel. Pretty comfortable overall
@2:05 The trailside series of sculptures is intended to be viewed in-line. That is, stand at the end, and look through all of them in series (as if looking through a gunsight). I won't ruin the surprise by stating here what image will be revealed.
New River Trail cabins in Galax is great place to start. Cozy
I fish those waters 2 or 3 times a week. I love Carvins Cove! Great video.
Thanks for checking it out! It is perhaps the most peaceful body of water I've ever been to. Just super quiet and no boats/wakes
what’s the best baits for this time of year, i’ve never been and i’m going tomorrow, any good tips on the striper there too?
It's a lot of work to complete but i am sure that you will be happy with the results. The next house that you tackle will be much easier to rehab after learning all tricks. Good luck.
Thank for the encouragement! it has been a huge project and a huge learning curve for sure!
👀👍🚴🍺😊
Despite the rain, looked like a pheasant time.
Haha it really was! Though the dog got more birds than we did.
Want to do this with the wife and kids 9&12 in the spring as their first bike packing experience.
Awesome! It’s a great first experience. Not too steep or aggressive.
Thinking about doing this in mid April for my brothers first bike tour. Any restaurants or cool places you'd recommend in Pulaski?
I can only speak to that one restaurant that we stopped at in galax. There aren’t many restaurants right at the trailhead in Pulaski and you may have to bike a little farther into town from the trailhead if you are starting in galax and going towards Pulaski. It gets a little remote in some spots in the middle.

Irene missed her chance to toughen up her feet by walking across those coals! Is moleskin still a thing for blisters?
We didn't film it, but we did walk across the coals to warm our feet up. I'm not sure about the moleskin, but band-aids sure are!
@@oneilladventures6840 google "moleskin for blisters" This first article gives the general idea. www.healthline.com/health/moleskin-for-blisters#what-not-to-do. It was the go to blister fix and preventative back in the 70's and80's, maybe superceded by now with something better, but the hole-over-your-existing-blister with surrounding support seemed like a good idea to me back in the dark ages.
Is that typical silage size? I thought cow feed was chunks several inches long but this stuff looks more like mulch.
That's pretty typical for silage. I don't know the exact size, but you rarely have anything resembling a full cob diameter in it.
We love those tuna packets, great trip just bring pads next time!
We definitely will - it was uncomfortable!
What a neat trip. Nice video
Thanks for watching!
Which campground did you camp at? Double shoals?
That's correct. There is a big campground where a few tents can go, but a few of the spots are small and private.
@@oneilladventures6840 About to do this same route. Did you need to make reservations for the camping spot?
First come first serve as I understand it. It was a pretty nasty weekend for weather so it was empty when we went. Hope you enjoy it!
@@oneilladventures6840 it was great. And I was the only one camping there that night.
That’s great! It’s very peaceful out by the water. Glad you had a good time.
Awesome hike guys! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
@@oneilladventures6840 you're welcome! We have a good time filming our adventures also
