    Jekyll is my second favorite place in Ga. ( Savannah being the first Place.). If people are interested in finding out more about how the rich established the Federal Reserve (slinking onto Jekyll in the middle of the night so they wouldn’t be recognized) they can read THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND. There is an enormous amount of history on this island plus a fun place to visit. Thanks for bringing this place to your followers for a quick visit. Love your videos.

    I am trying to decrease my pack weight so I can carry my chair zero. I have a musculoskeletal disorder that makes it very difficult to get up off the ground. If I don’t take the chair zero, I will switch to the larger bear vault and use that to sit on. Which means getting my weight down by 2.5 lbs. so looking at tents presently. Plus on most of my two week or less trips, if a dog is allowed on trail, my little yorkiepoo goes with me. Although small. I think the two of us would be much more comfortable in a two person. Plus I am also fluffy…..lol….

    • @peaks4pounds

    Hi Laura do you have a video of how you make videos? Editing, storage, uploading, etc.I'm struggling to make them and wondering what you use and how you do it. MERRY CHRISTMAS and hope you have a wonderful 2025!

    • @peaks4pounds
      @peaks4pounds 21 день тому

      Hi Ellie! I haven't made an editing video (yet). I tend to keep it has simple as possible by using the iMovie app for videos I shoot with my iPhone. I also use (in this video) an Osmo Action 5 Pro action camera, with which I use their editing app. Video storage is starting to get tricky as I have made so many videos. I will probably be purchasing an external hard drive to store my content on.

  • @AlanConnieGrodecki

    So glad to see your review video. Looks like you had a great first pitch. I have not found any major cons for my Durston XMid pro2. My favorite thing about it is the fact that I can clean myself up and change in there at the end of a long hike with plenty of space. I’ve been able to keep all my gear inside too. I should mention I’m short so that helps give me lots of space inside. Thanks for your review. Happy trails to you. 🥾

    Have you hiked the Foothills Trail in SC and NC yet? How about Pictured Rocks National Seashore in Michigan? While much shorter hikes at 77 miles and 45 miles respectively, they are beautiful, challenging, and great achievements. I completed Pictured Rocks last year at 54 years old and will be 55 next spring when attempting the Foothills Trail. Keep chasing those dreams!
