Great video! Keep it up! I just recently went up there!

A couple take aways from Video. I did enjoy it . I hardly ever backpack in from the top. Too crowded, try parking at Laneville Wildlife Managers cabin and hike up Red Creek Trail. Cross RedCreek and take Big Stonecoal trail up. Are Biscuits and Gravy a thing where you live ? Mountain House B+ G needs salt to bring out the flavor. They are comparable to McDonald’s Biscuits and gravy. Mtn House spaghetti and Pre- cooked scrambled eggs and bacon are delicious as well. There are much better folding saws for 1/4 the price. That tent was set up way too close to the firepit . And putting live green branches on a fire is not recommended, I get it he’s learning. We were all there once. Good video!

I live in North Ridgeville. My buddies and I hit up the Dolly Sods last year for their 23 mile trail. Went to lions head for night 1 and headed out day two. One of the best kept trails I’ve been on and really enjoyed my time there! Amazing place, and a great video

The Sods is on my list of favorite places. I rarely hit a trail twice. Dolly Sods is one of the rare ones. When I went I didn’t have advice and was knee deep in mud a lot. It was all good. And yes, finding the trail in the pines is less than easy.

Hey, where did you cut your backpack to get the frame out? I also bought myself same pack and Im considering to put out the frame. Thanks for help😇.

Fellow Clevelander here, awesome video! I went with a couple buddies back in May. There was <10 groups registered on the trail head and maybe 4-5 cars. I really loved how nearly every patch of trees after that first junction had camp sites, beautiful too with plenty of kindling (that folding saw is a lifesaver). It definitely wasn't an easy hike for us, plenty of weird terrain to sprain an ankle. My only comparison was Alleghany, which is incredible for the <3 hours drive from us.

Great video- I love Dolly sods. It always seems busy but yet plenty of space for solitude. I’ve hiked several areas in the monongahela forest but I like dolly sods the best. I’m also from the Cleveland area.

Awesome video young man Also it's nice to see your son out and about with you Unfortunately bad timing but still you made it work

That’s me

Would this be too big for someone who is 5'5?

I picked up a kijaro hammock at Walmart. Removed the tags and the emblem on the sack. I use 12 ft lashing straps from harbor freight, I just removed the buckles. In total weighs about 9oz. I take that instead of a camping chair

Merry Christmas to you all and the cabins to your whole family and happy New Year to your whole family It looks like you've all had a fantastic time down there

The best parts were when ty was in it

Phone looks good 👍

What about sleeping bags? I’m in northern Colorado. The places I pack into it can easily get down into the lower 40s or 30s at night even in the summer. Great video.

Can't you use metrics. The vast majority of the world use grams and kg.

Good to know the Walmart pad is good but I don't know....the decathlon one is lighter and very popular.....

Idk man I’d rather pay an actual decent company in the US for their quality products and all their customer service that comes with that. Plus US jobs. No thanks on the crappy Chinese Amazon garbage.

From the other side of the coin. I've been hammock camping for over 60 years and tent camp when only a tent can be used. Tent camping has acquired one new addition , it's the same mattress ( Klymit ) you have , the extra thickness is nice. The Jungle hammock serves as the Bed , Lounger and even a Chair. Yep , all three wrapped into one item. My mattress ( insulation ) in the hammock is a Therm-a-rest self inflating mummy style 3/4 length. It's inflated 1/2 to 3/4 so it conforms to the hammock and my body supporting every inch. I like alcohol stoves for the simplicity , quietness and light weight ( Esbit has a really good one) The pack is a Chicken Tramper 25 liter and with everything in it my Hammocks gear base weight is between 7 and 8 pounds. At 77 years young I don't thru hike , only section and recreational ( No hurrying just enjoying ) camping.

Once you pulled out the chair, you needed to change the title... this is not an ultralight solution.

If you want to see a Titanic exhibit go to the one in Belfast , Northern Ireland... It's right on the site the ship was built, next door to the ship yard and dry dock

I really wanted to like the Klymit pads but I have not had any luck with them. I have bought 3 of them from different places and none of them lasted through the first trip. Thin to begin with but if they lose any air at all (and all 3 did) you are back on the ground. I’d rather have a closed cell folding pad then these. I finally saved all my Pennie’s for a while and bought a quality pad.

What was your total gear weight? Do you have a written gearlist with the weights listed? Ty for the video!

You very much need your frame. Your back hates you. Your spine hates you.

Great content 😊👍

What temps can that blanket handle?

I’m a hammocker, but when I do sleep on the ground in a shelter, I have the exact same pad and pillow that you have, and I also keep my pillow in the pad’s stuff sack so that I don’t forget it at home

Outstanding

I have an Esbit set up that I have had for years. For a long trip I still take it and leave the Toaks at home. I wish my Sea To Summit Areos pillow had the strap. Even though I've changed over to cycling, my backpacking kit has been a valuable part of the adventures. Thanks for sharing your kit ✌

For me I use a hammock and tarp under quilt overquilt and I'm pretty sure I'm close to but not quite the same poundage as you maybe just a half a pound more maybe a pound and a quarter more Please do remember that most of the time whenever summer gets back here again I'm normally bike packing so my stuff has to fit in the bags on my bike my stinger bag that goes behind my seat and my cinnamon roll that goes in front of my handlebars so that's two bags that everything has to mostly fit in except for the third bag which is usually on me a small micro backpack of some sorts with some tools snacks and a few odds and engine Bob's and things And while I am backpacking I do not use a chair so I might be the same and I might be under and I might be a slightly over I have no clue

I do have the exact same pad I got mine at Walmart for $25 a couple years back I have no idea what they're worth now And right next to it was the climate static v pillow or x pillow again 15 bucks so I bought it what it's worth now I have no idea what it's going for

I do have a pack that's similar like that but I don't have the mesh unfortunately

Good evening young man

Are y'all from South Carolina? If so, that's where I was born. & fyi South Carolina is my fav. state & Myrtle Beach S.C. is 1 of my fav. places to travel p.s. I subbed & thumbed up to y'all :)

Great video Alex! I'm hunting deer this weekend in Wayne National forest about 6 miles from the Zaleski. I plan on a winter trip to Zaleski myself. Bag liners and Army poncho liners add a lot of warmth to a 20 degree bag. I've had mine down to 8 relatively comfortably using them both. I think your iPhone 13 Pro did a great job filming this, as did its owner.

I see you swapped out your OCP gator for a grey one lol. Camera quality looks good!

Seemed like a beautiful fall day! The footage looks good for a phone 👍

I'm glad you stayed warm in your 20° bag. I'm a cold sleeper and use a 10° bag on nights like this. It looks like you had a nice and well deserved overnighter. May you have many more in 2022 ✌

First.

Great video guys. Lots of good info. Looks like the family had a blast. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care and have a great rest of the week. New friends. here. KTKamping Kent and Tami

Fabulous video

Enjoyed the video keep up with the adventures can't wait till the next one

Good job on the review!

Os-pray Not Os-pree

Does it squeak?

Came here after hearing the Cayahoga river is the best place to paddle on the Paddling Adventures Radio Podcast

Oh Brother Where Art Thou kayaking?

Really enjoyed the video! My buddy and I are planning an upcoming trip to oil creek. We are going to do the trail over 2 nights and 3 days. We plan to start out at the park office like you did and start on west side to wolf Kiel for day 1. From park office parking lot do you cross a bridge and road walk to get to the trail? How long is it to the trail and is it difficult to find? Thank you for any info willing to share!
