    So awesome to take time in your life to take your dad on adventures with you. My children’s dad was lost to us on January 8th this year. So Mr John Barns is now traveling in the stars but his spirit lives within me and my two children. We are honoring him by continuing our hiking adventures and spreading his ashes in all the places he loved to walk. So as I travel the AT alone now with my dog, Alice I carry JB in my heart. I am Cheryl Barns and still enjoy your adventures Thank you for sharing

    My fondest memories of my father was back packing the Dolly Sods and the Otter Creek Wilderness areas of West Virginia. That was long before Cell Phones, GPS and well marked trails. We would would use our compass and topo maps as our only guide. We never got "lost".....Just turned around now and then.......lol. The well worn trails of today really never existed then and it was easy to miss the turns. Yet we would wander, camp, fish and have an amazing adventure. Thanks for stirring the memory banks......

Your dad was so brave climbing that rock wall, I was watching saying nope not a chance I'd be doing that! But I am afraid of heights. I've done a couple of things to challenge myself in that area but still don't think I could have done that. Here's to many more videos with you and your dad ❤️

    I’m so proud of your dad and excited for you having that moment.
    I was with a group of Boy Scouts doing the triple crown the week before you, and even though I spent some time prepping on our trails in western Pa, your dad made it look a lot easier than I remember.
    Like your dad, I was with my son who made sure I was ok. Since we started following you about 6 years ago, he has become quite the hiker and is planning to attempt the AT next March.
    Excellent job on this one, my favorite so far. And the footage of climbing the rock face to Dragons Tooth was the best I’ve seen, brought me right back.
    Hope you are recovering well, and thanks for showing my son and I how to go on our own adventures.

    How are you liking the Evolved Supply Co. pack? I haven't seen it in any of your other videos since you did your initial review (except for this one). Seems like you prefer the Lite AF packs. I am in the market for a similar pack and these two are in the top 3. It will probably come down to between the Evolved vs Lite AF. Which would you choose?

    • @FrozensAdventures
      @FrozensAdventures  Рік тому +1

      In the first version of the pack I was sent. I can't reach the water bottle pockets. I met Darwin at trail days in may in Damascus and he took my advice and lowered the bottle pockets by 1.5" and I tried the new one on and I could reach them. He's been busy with his business but at some point I'd love to try the new version on some trips. But yes I do prefer the LiteAF packs and will be using one on my PCT hike.
