Thanks a bunch for watching and leaving a comment. I know "starved and limping"... ha ha been there! I love the weight of my z packs tent but it is a little cramped for my taste and definitely holds the moisture. Although it is only 1 pound so really lightweight.

Hi, the site # is 911. I believe they close certain sites every other year (or something like that) to let the area regenerate. Site # 900 is my favorite. I like to bring my bicycle to ride to the bathroom at Sones pond. (instead of digging catholes or packing it out) I checked out your channel....new subscriber here. 👍

@fivehorizons5295 thank you. Is 900 near sones too?

@@thekeystonehiker8661 900 is closer. I recommend the purple lizard map for Loyalsock State Forest.

@fivehorizons5295 thank you for your help. Love watching your videos. I hope you enjoy what you see in mine. Thank you again

@@gracegarden1 Awesome! Thanks so much for subscribing! I like your channel too 👍

@@fivehorizons5295 WOW!! Thanks, Jeff! 😁

Thanks a bunch for watching! Yeah, I do my best to not consume animal products. I seriously just can't contribute to industrial animal agriculture as it wreaks havoc on our environment. I simply can't claim to love the outdoors and nature and support an industry that is destroying our world while enslaving, torturing and murdering innocent animals. I consider it my Civil Duty to not partake in such an appalling system. I guess it's a form of "Civil Disobedience" I'm not breaking any laws by not partaking in a system I don't agree with, but it is "disobeying civilly" to the norms of this current society. To "BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD" as Gandhi said, peacefully and without offending others and their choices, while setting an example, is what I try my best to accomplish. Thanks again for the comment ✌

@@fivehorizons5295 I feel the same way. If you smell a Beyond Burger cooking in camp, it's probably me.

@@grantclauser3836Nice! I love Beyond Burgers! 🍔

Ha ha, yeah I can't seem to walk by the puff balls without squeezing one...lol Thanks for the encouragement! My dreams shall indeed be followed! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

Thanks for the comment and watching the video! Walt definitely has talent with his editing skills that's for sure. I feel I'm slowly getting better at it.

Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment. 👍

Pennsylvania definitely has great fall colors. Thanks so much for the compliments! The Golden Eagle Trail is worth doing more than once for sure. PEARL JAM! 👍🤘

That would have been fun, perhaps we will do a hike together sometime 👍

@@TravisWalkerExperience Hi there Travis! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! I’ll definitely check out your video on the Golden Eagle Trail. 👍 I just bought that day pack at Walmart a few weeks ago. I like it so far. It reminds me of a military style pack. Thanks again 🙏

@@buscampers Hi Bernie! Yeah, that trail has some great vistas! Don’t remember if Walt “1 matched” it…lol He had it burning 🔥 pretty good 👍 Thanks for leaving a comment 🙂

He had a good fire going at LBSP.

Thanks Jenn for watching and I’m glad you now know about the Golden Eagle Trail! Definitely hike it, it’s got gorgeous views, small waterfalls, old growth trees and interesting rock formations! Thanks so much for the compliment on “talking to the camera” it made my day 😊

@@hikingoutdoorfamily Thanks so much for watching the video and taking the time to comment! I have to admit sometimes I wish I didn’t bring a camera to record my outdoor trips. For me (I know it’s different for everyone) but for me, I feel it takes something away from the experience. Although it adds to the experience in other ways… I went years hiking without even bringing a camera or cell phone, the experiences were just for me and I think I’m going to do that again from time to time. Thanks again for commenting! 🙏

@@fivehorizons5295 I sometimes hike and don't film it. It's nice to have the break and just live in the moment.

@@darcyshikingdiaries Thanks Darcy! Definitely put this hike on your calendar for next year! It’s a beautiful area and the Golden Eagle Trail does not disappoint. It’s a trail that is totally worth experiencing more than once. Thanks again for the comment Darcy 🙏

@@WALTERZOLNA Thanks Walt! Definitely agree that the world would be a better place if more people just practiced “simple acts of kindness” The trail really wasn’t that difficult, (good company on the trail makes the miles fly by) and I do think it’s one of the best day hikes in Pennsylvania. Is it number one? Not sure 🤔 Like you said, I haven’t hiked every trail in the state to make the best decision. I’m looking forward to your video, you definitely have lots of creative talent with your editing skills! Let’s do another hike soon! 👍

Thanks so much Debbie for watching and leaving a comment. Yeah that snoring really affected my sleep that night and made the next day harder than it should have been. Lack of sleep can really make climbing mountains tough. Thanks so much for your support I really appreciate it! It means a lot! 👍

Thanks again Walt for watching and leaving a comment! We only averaged 1 mile an hour on this trail because of the rough terrain. Most hikers on regular terrain average about 2 miles an hour. We probably could have pushed on to the next shelter on day two but decided to stop a little early and just enjoy resting that evening around camp. Thanks Walt and always look forward to your adventures too! "Nature, Adventure, Discovery"!

Thanks again for watching and leaving a comment! It means a lot!

@@darcyshikingdiaries Savage…lol Thanks Darcy for watching. Yeah, the vistas in the Catskills are pretty epic! My legs were sore for a few days after the trip.

Thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! I appreciate you watching the videos! Thanks again 🙏

Thanks again for watching and commenting! I love mandalas. I seen a real one made of sand by Tibetan monks at the Tibetan Center in the Catskills one time. So beautiful.

Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment! Do you think you will try backpacking at some point? I like to think of my campervan as my "mobile man cave"!

@@fivehorizons5295 I think I would like to try it one day. Right now it's just the lack of proper gear and time. My kids are in high school, so backpacking might be the perfect thing for me in a few years.

Hi there! Thanks a lot for watching, leaving a comment and subscribing! I'll check out some of your vids as well. Thanks again!

Nice, hope you had a good hike! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

Hi Debbie, thanks again for watching! It's nice having the guitar right in the van for when I feel like playing. Yeah, it's definitely more comfortable in the van than the tent for sure. Thanks for watching my videos, it means a lot! 🙂

Thanks again for watching and leaving a comment! Thanks for the complement on my cooking! I try to just keep it simple and yummy. I love the name "Blue Marble" 👍

Great video I miss seeing you and Bart Bart is looking good love the Bluetti if I ever get into to this kind of camping I’m getting one that hike was awesome a little different then your usual I love hiking I hope you start doing more videos now that it’s cooler out , looking foward to your next one Debbie from New Jersey 😎

@@debbienichols3362 Hi Debbie, thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Yeah, I didn't get out much this summer because of the heat but I have a few trips planned now that it's cooled off a bit. I definitely recommend the bluetti 180. Thanks again Debbie for leaving a comment, it means a lot. 👍

Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment!

Thanks Craig for watching and leaving a comment! You have been going to some pretty amazing places lately on your day hikes for sure! Oh yeah, Bart is happy with his upgrades 😁

Thanks Walt for the thoughtful response. Yeah, I’m loving that spicy plant based mayonnaise! The places you go on your hikes are always interesting and beautiful and you do a phenomenal job showcasing just how awesome Pennsylvania is. “Two or three hours walking will carry me to as strange a country as I ever expect to see” Henry David Thoreau Hopefully our “paths” will cross someday…🙂

lol, yeah BART likes it when I’m good to him! 😊

Thanks Darcy! Yeah, when I got to the parking area it felt like my own little campsite. It was such a beautiful morning, I stood out in the misty field, breathing in the fragrant mist that was dissipating from the meadow and just feeling so thankful that my connection to nature is solid and never disappoints, if anything I believe it gets stronger as we get older. Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment Darcy!

Thanks a lot for watching and leaving a comment! So, I got the map and guidebook from the Keystone Trails Association website for $16.00 Happy Hiking!

Thanks a lot for watching and leaving a comment. The Loyalsock trail has some rough sections that's for sure!

Thanks a lot for watching the video and leaving a comment! 👍

From where we camped it only took a few hours. If you park at the main trailhead, it's about 4 miles or so I believe, but their is limited parking closer to the falls. You can get a map and guide book from the Keystone Trails Association website.

Hi Darcy, definitely hike this trail! In my humble opinion its the best backpacking trip in Pennsylvania. There are lots of side trails so you can make shorter (or longer) loops.

Ha ha, yup, don't want to chop off any toes...lol That would ruin a trip for sure.

Was really hoping we would see one, but we did see a beaver pretty close and Jason swears a beaver bumped the canoe! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

Thanks Craig! It's never to late to learn, you could get a ukulele and learn how to play from the many You Tube ukulele channels!

Thanks for the compliment and leaving a comment! 🤘

So glad you liked it! Thanks for leaving a comment!

Thanks so much for watching the video and leaving a comment! Time spent in nature is never wasted time.

Thanks a lot for watching and leaving a comment! Yeah, no privacy with that bathroom…lol The lakes there are really beautiful, definitely worth the drive to get there.

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! Definitely make the time to visit. The town of Old Forge is a great place to stop and get any last minute supplies before entering MRP from the west. 👍

Thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment! That pot is a small pressure cooker. Once pressure is built up you can take it off the heat (to save propane) and it keeps cooking. Were you successful in your muzzleloader hunt? I used to hunt up in Tioga county. Got a buck one year. Pennsylvania tuxedo? Not sure what that is…lol

@@fivehorizons5295 I'm going to have to look into that small pressure cooker. I like the idea of having one for camping. No luck with the hunt. I only saw a small buck the day before the season opened. PA Tuxedo is the old Woolrich red and black plaid wool hunting jacket and pants. My buddy hunts in Tioga. He bagged a monster buck about 10 or so years ago.

Thanks a lot for watching! I hope it helps you with your Colorado Trail adventure. I used to bang out 20's when I was younger but at 47 years old I'm not letting my stupid ego get me injured. I'm right there with you in the 10 to 15 mile class. I love to hike for so many reasons and banging out more miles than my body can safely handle isn't on of them. Hiking 20 or 30 miles every day is impressive but to quote Teddy Roosevelt "Comparison is the thief of joy" I lost about 15 lbs, I got sunburnt more than I expected, and yes I got tired of mashed potatoes...lol Don't recall how long it took me to finish...5-6 weeks. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos! It means a lot! Best of luck on the CT! Definitely stop and smell the flowers (figuratively and literally) No need to rush it, it's just too beautiful ⛰🌄🗻🏔

@@fivehorizons5295 Thank you! Definitely working on "smelling the roses" I am on no timeline since retirement and need to act accordingly! Hard to get used to after hikes on a work based timeline. Six weeks is what I expect, as I want to have a few zero days in those mountain towns. Thanks for the reply

Thanks Craig for watching and leaving a comment! I really appreciate it! Yeah the privy’s there weren’t the best but it beats having to dig a hole…lol The water in Beaver Lake was so clean and refreshing! Having a natural lake all to ourselves in a wilderness area is definitely something special. I need to make that happen more often! That snapping turtle was running pretty fast(for a turtle) 🐢 When he saw us, he stopped and didn’t more at all… Thanks again for commenting!

“Swimming in Beaver Lake” Does indeed sound like an old rock song 🎵 Maybe from Spinal Tap…lol Thanks for checking out the video and taking the time to leave a comment!👍
