The climate isn’t changing as much as the landscape, this is a development problem, nothing more

My NPT thru-hike was one of the best vacations I've ever had. Despite things like having a bog bridge collapse under me, dropping me two feet straight down into beaver water, finding one section so choked with blowdown that I would up bushwhacking a couple of miles parallel to the trail, falling in the river at high water trying to cross over to Wanika Falls, and similar annoyances. A wet trail like that is NOT for everyone - which means that those of use who can enjoy it don't need to battle the crowds!

Blowdown, NY state ( pine ), N.Y state project HA -15 ( 1951 ).

I love forest..feel relax❤

I fast forwarded through the climate change part

It never fails, last change I made to this video was to the title. And I misspelled madness. Which is maddening. Which does have two 'd's. Oops.

Ecosystems benefit as well as local economies when logging is done properly. Old growth forests are beautiful - but lack in diversity of species that exists in them.

❤

Old growth forests are amazing. There’s just something so magical about them

Just Preserve Old Growyh, of course, it is amazing, cathedral-like, full of diversity, structurally important, ecologically gainful, and amazing places to be!

Old growth forests hold more carbon than younger trees. They are keeping us alive.

Logging must stop, the old growth forests are the most enchanted, amazing, special areas on earth.. please preserve all old growth areas. incredible

I like your video reporting. Grew up in Saratoga, was mentioned in a book a few times "The Last Real People" by Joseph LaPointe stories of people growing up in the Adirondacks. Simply put, you can't control what the planet wants to do. The planet will change when it chooses to change and no one can control it, even pollution. It will eventually kill us and the earth will eventually heal its self like its done for so many years. No one can control the weather or help it in any way. If you choose to live near oceans, river, streams, and lakes, expect the unimaginable to happen every once in awhile. Nature, ( the beaver dam) was a big factor but they need to live their lives by impending developement in your area. Nature Happens

Wow

I don't understand the desire for old growth...it serves little use to the animals nor the forest....it seems it's a people thing being selfish to preserve something of little use to its surroundings and local ecosystem. If you want to see thriving ecosystem and local environment considering all things including plant life and animal life, look at private owned and managed land in the adks, full of growth, plant life, and a thriving wildlife within.

Thank you Ken I’m gonna go there and check you out

I went there every year as a boy scout

This is one of the most beautiful videos that I have ever seen

nothing like the adirondacks

25 years ago there were loons everywhere around lows lake. the eagles came, ate all the baby loons every year, now the loons are few. Sad but that's nature. Sometime I couldn't get to sleep with all the loons calling!

Nice pictures, nice music, beautiful area. Thank you!

Lived in the Adirondacks for 3 years beautiful and unique place. I'm living in San Diego now so different

Old growth to me is acerage that has never been logged

Three seasons winter, June ,July, August

Nice production❤

Hoping to visit soon! Looks beautiful!

Makes the brutally cold environment look very pretty.. 3 months of frost free is still pretty steep tho no matter how lovely.. these shots are incredible

I usually dont pay too much mind to birds but they're very pretty and unique

Really beautiful video and great imagery!

Nice production❤

I learned the hard way about early spring black fly hatch at carder river flow !🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰🪰

are there any old growth patches in or near the St Regis canoe area? I'm planning a canoe trip there and would love to see some.

Beautiful photos throughout your video. Are they yours of the Adirondacks or stock?

How are things going on the infrastructure repair ? Great channel. Love that area. Subscribed. Thanks!

Thanks for the amazing video! I was wondering how is the glide in these on flats (groomed/ ungroomed)? I'm planning to get one which I will use for skijoring with my dog as well as for generally hiking in forests

One reason you only have 840 subs is that long and boring rant about what humans have done to the land and the eventual "climate change" idiocy. No thanks, one video was enough for me, I came to learn about the old growth forests, not to be lectured or lied to.

I backpack mainly in the Adirondacks even though I live in Vermont and am closer to the Green Mountain NF. The Adirondack Park has way more trail options, and the lean-to's are such a bonus (even though I usually tent). I can avoid the high peaks and almost never run out of new areas to explore. Your production value on this video and others is top-notch, great pictures, just enough historical tidbits and the spoken content is perfect. Made me antsy, as this is late November and I don't winter camp. Very relaxing to watch, thanks, I subscribed.

Very nice. I thru hiked the NPT southbound last year over 7 days . This was nice to watch, very well done. Thanks for posting.

I was a high schooler in the 60's in Tupper Lake. I remember 2 week stretches of -20F and enough snow for alpine and cross country skiing every year. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.

I've hiked about half of the high peaks, some of them numerous times. I haven't been up there in 20 years, I look forward to getting up there soon. It is truly God's country and heart breakingly beautiful. Thanks for the vid! I didn't know this and I'm 62. Safe travels from Hastings in Oswego county.

I live in the Adirondack Mountains. Humans have destroyed it by burying and dumping toxics for years. I'VE seen it done so many times. Good ole boy gangs

Great video! Did the NPT in ‘21 and was a great experience, saw so few people I can remember 90% of all their names.

I am lucky enough to live along a stretch of the NPT. Only about a mile walk along the private trail that comes off my property to join it.

Another beautifully made video. Keep up the great work! Your efforts are appreciated

Much more maintenance and money needs to be thrown at the NPT. Because of blowdowns crossing the path I had to damage delicate vegetation around the trail. There are muddy puddles where it is not necessary. NYS should institute a program for 17-23 yr old youth with older trainers in trail maintenance (partner with college outing clubs). Develop a culture of caring. I hiked the NPT in late May 2023. The condition of blowdowns, bog bridges, and overly saturated trails makes me think NYS has not put any money into this trail in thirty years. NYSDEC wants to brag about it and draw tourism in but they have done very little to develop a culture or maintain it's condition. I first learned about the trail in the 1980's and I finally did it this year. I enjoyed the hike but the trail itself could be so much better. I was a little shocked. The portion (4 miles) leaving north out of Piseco was maintained well but I expect that is because of some homeowner's association/conservation group in Piseco. That's how I would like it the whole way.

Indeed a beautiful trail. I finished the trail over the course of two year, 2022 and 23. Met very few people which was my hope! Thank you for the great footage.

The good news is, as much as humans have harmed ecosystems in America in the last couple hundred years, generally they are bouncing back across the country. Animals like bears, bison, prairie chick, California condors, beavers, wolves are all seeing their ranges slowly but surely increase closer and closer to their older ranges. Thats not to say the beauty of the american wilderness will ever return to what it once was, but we`re seeing a lot of good things happen as of late. One species I`d especially like to see rebound is the Hellbender salamanders in southern Indiana

Beautiful images...

Beautiful images, thank you.

I live in Hamilton County but would argue that the Baxter State Park region in Maine is wilder.
