Winter Backpacking on the Manistee River - Jan. 2025
Mid-January 2025, I ventured to northern Michigan to meet up with some new friends and backpack in snowy and below freezing temperatures, following the Manistee River... I started at Seaton Creek Campground and hiked 4 miles where I met up with them and set up camp for the night. We enjoyed a toasty fire and lots of laughs! Day2 started in the mid-20s and we hiked just under 6 miles south on the trail. We set up camp and enjoyed beautiful views while processing firewood for a campfire that lasted through the evening. Once again, we enjoyed laughs and shared backpacking experiences from over the years. After a chilly, but cozy night, we hiked about 2.5 miles to Red Bridge River Access to complete the trip. This was an absolutely wonderful trip with some great guys and new found friends. Thanks for watching!

Rainy Backpacking and Dispersed Camping by a Beautiful River

At the end of December, I took a quick and close to home over night adventure in Southern Michigan, backpacked a short section of the North Country Trail and camped along a small river. I had been by the campsite many times, but never stopped to enjoy it. While it rained nearly the entire time I was at camp, I enjoyed the quiet and relaxing time before the rain stopped and I was finally able to...

    A friend and I backpacked the Knobstone trail in October of last year (2024). It was an incredible experience and we already have the same trip planned for this October. I couldn’t imagine hiking this with hot and humid temps! Great job! Also, the Turkey ticks I believe are what were causing your rashes. They are horrible here in Indiana in the summer time. It was nice and cool in October with temps between 40-55 deg.

I was told you could get one at the State Forest HQ, but they've been closed every time I've been. So, I used the DNR map, but made my own notes on it (highlighting the river crossings, water sources, campgrounds, etc.). Took a bit of planning, but definitely helped. Happy to share it with you if it would help. Thanks again for watching!

      Thanks for watching, THG! That tent is definitely not as cool as the one in your last video! A little lighter though! lol! A fire makes everything better in that kind of weather, for sure! Looking forward to your adventures this year! (BTW, I may get a DJI Neo after seeing you use yours!). Happy trails!

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Mark! I wondered if you ever ran into old Sam Bananas...I get stuck in various UA-cam loops; Boonedockery, Kent Survival, etc and recently was pleasantly trapped in a number of Camping with Sam B. I have question regarding navigation. In the past I had a stand-alone gps but was wondering if an iphone paired with a garmin watch is sufficient if you use, say AllTrails or the like to pre-down load maps... My concern is battery life on the watch and the phone...will they get you through a weekend? I recently picked up a nitecore 20000 which seems to be pretty robust so far as charging multiple things multiple times...trying to have enough energy with me to run cameras, phone, watch, drone etc. Just seeking your insight. Thanks.

      Hey Bill! Thanks for watching! For navigation, while I nearly always take a paper map, but an app on the phone is usually sufficient (something like OnX, Gaia, etc.). I like AllTrails, but since it's user generated content, I've found that I have to be a bit cautious of it. I always wear my watch and in GPS mode it has a battery life of up to 57 hours (so no problem for a weekend). As far as battery life, I bring an absurdly large battery bank, way overkill. It's 30,000 mah and I've never had any issues with dead batteries on a variety of devices. For a weekend, a 10,000 mah would probably be plenty depending on what all you were up to, so the Nitecore you've got should be plenty (and they're good too!). Hope that helps, and look forward to catching up with ya soon!

So, this was filmed Dec. 27th-28th (if memory serves) and was surprisingly warm... however, would have definitely preferred the snow! Hopefully that will happen in the next couple of weeks!
