I gave this a thumbs up before I watched it. That’s how much I like Dan Becker.
Good job Dan, you are my new favorite hiking/backpacking channel. I love the thru hiker videos but its nice to see the kind of hikes most of us regular folks do.
Really cute kids. Awesome to see dads spending quality time with their daughters!
Thank you so much!!!
@@DanBecker - hopefully, they will take you when you get old and you will slow your kids. Life is good!
Great. Kids are enthusiastic. Opening the adventure to another generation, I admire that. If they don't know what we are trying to protect it won't be preserved.
Precious times Dan. When my 4 were little you had to go slow, when they got to their teens they kept on going fully loaded. Now they are in their 20's I want them to carry me. Enjoy the memories. Blessings to you all.
What a great father daughter adventure....not about the distance w kids...just need a smile on their face...great job dad
Beautiful drone shots! Mmmm, and waffles, too. Went on family camping trips every summer in late 1960s and early 70s. Still are some of my favorite childhood memories to this day.
Good times hiking and camping with kids. My daughter loved it when she was young. But during middle school and high school she was not interested then. Last year for her 22nd birthday she asked to buy her new camping gear, WOW, I seceded!
It truly is so much fun to take kids into the woods and to watch them explore.
So glad you are teaching these young girls these things! Do believe these skills will always be a source of restoration and inspiration to them
What a great father and what a wonderful gift you are giving your child. Perhaps the most important gift.
I have an incredibly courageous six year old and I can’t wait to do the same with her.
What an inspiring video.
Thanks Dan. 👍💪❣️
Dan, this is the nicest thing ever! Absolutely lovely!
Look at how much fun these kids are having without electronics, just enjoying nature’s creation. Can’t wait to get my children out on our next hiking trip. Thanks Dan, great video.
Hello Dan the Man. Thank you for sharing this family video. This hike is an experience that your daughter will never forget. You're a real loving Dad. Please take care out there, be safe and cherish the memories. 🤗
I did the Knob Stone Trail to do 50 on my 50th. Hardly saw a soul. Glad you enjoyed it!
Agree this is one of ur best vids. Ur an awesome dad and example to others. Ur video skills are increasing as well. Great content. Bless u man
You made memories that will last forever for those girl's. Nice job Dad.
Great on ya dad to take your kids. I'm 48 years old and I remember the hikes that my dad took me and my brothers on when we were 10 yrs and older. It was a great experience and lots of fun. Your kids will always look back on these hikes fondly.
Thanks, Jared! It was so much fun!
Dan just smiles and its contagious. Great video awesome memories made.
The exit meal always helps with the transition back to city life. In all honesty it’s one of my favorite parts of the trip! Haha
Great video. Can you make a post about what your daughter carried in her pack? My daughter commonly carries her sleeping bag, pad, pillow, head lamp, and a couple personal items like a book.
One of your older videos, but so good! I'm getting back into backpacking because my kids are getting old enough to go now. To prepare, I'm doing lots of research and I am enjoying your channel. Several of the things you talk about on this video hit home for me. Spending quality time with my kids, making memories and also ... going slow and make sure they have enough fun to want to do it again. Thanks Dan!
Now that was a good post. Great to see Dan and his friend getting the kids involved who really seemed to enjoy it. I bet they can't wait to get out into the wilderness again and try to find more wildlife.
That’s so cool that you got your daughter out there. Looks really beautiful out there. Backpacking with those kids will keep you young 😃. I remember camping with my dad. Good memories.
Thanks Jason! It was awesome!
That is a good trail, has great views of Indian and Celina lakes, good to see you I'm Indiana
I discovered your channel about a week ago. I really enjoy your videos. I’m going to start backpacking this year. Your a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for educating me.
Great to hear Jason!
I live about 1 hour from most HNF trails . Great place to hike , as well as Shawnee National Forest. I’ve also done my fair share in Wisconsin in the Areas up By the Border near the Ice age , enjoy your channel dan
this is so awesome! taking my 6 year old daughter for a 40 mile backpacking trip on the Appalachian trail in 2 weeks. cant wait for her to get home from school and watch this video again with her.
Nice vid. We did this trail a few weeks ago and it was pretty mucky. Camped near the dam. A few Creek crossings that were a bit dicey..lol. Love that you took the kids out!
Great trip, very well put together and filmed! Congrats on getting your daughter out with you. Soon I’ll be getting my boys (well at least one of them) back on the trail with me. Thanks for taking us along!
What a treat, taking them in for town food while out hiking. That will make them to go out again!!!
Thanks John! It was a blast!
Great video of the family Dan. I live a few hours south of there and I’ve been wanting to do this trail myself. I love the content and the videos. Please keep them coming
Glad you like the Tensor. I went with the Vector because the sponge pump addition was the approx same weight as a pump sack. They are great pads.
I love my Outdoor Vitals 15 quilt. So much loft on that thing.
Quality time for sure. Lifetime memories. Hike on!
Thank you so much for sharing this excellent trip w/us. Your friends/family made it so enjoyable!
Thank you so much that’s great to hear!
Cool video! Making memories.
Wonderful video. Nice to see you mentoring your kids in the important things in life. Teaching them right.
Camping memories and stories of overcoming the challenges are the best.
We FINALLY slept in one of our Lanshan2 tents!
How was the tent, Janet? I thought about buying one just for when I bring friends with me!
@@DanBecker it worked great! I had previously tested it in a solid torrential down pour where is had the smallest wicking from the over sewing on the side tie out points. So for sunshining Easter weekend we had all three tents out on the lawn like bunny huts where we could seal them over with silicon. It did not rain this past weekend but ventilation was good. Essential bug barrier did it's job. I find them super easy to set up. Ask me again when we put them to use on vacation to AZ and CA in June!!! LOL!
Oh! FYI...I did choose to get some shepard hook stakes and some longer ground hog type stakes!!! The soil in south Texas can be super soft after rains! ;)
What a great outing with the cub's.
Thank's for sharing
Hello Dan, I am looking forward to your video tomorrow afternoon. See you then. 🤗
What a great trip. Hope I can do that with my granddaughter when she gets older.
Quality memories. All the warm fuzzies. Thanks, Dan! You're getting really good with the drone.
Great job dan
this video felt like the sweetest dream! i am so looking forward to take my kid to the woods!
We are actually packing up to take our smols out this weekend! The timing of this couldn't have been better! 🙏🏻The girls & their frogs were adorable lol
Are We Having Fun Yet That’s awesome! I hope you guys have a great time!
I love two lakes loop ! Those creeks can get serious man.
I like the this trail. If you ever come back to Indiana, check out charles deam wilderness. It's part of HNF. The peninsula Trail is probably the most popular. It's 5 mi out and 5 mi back...But most of the campsites are on the shores of lake Monroe. Beautiful sunsets..
Wow. I like these Dan Becker videos. I enjoy watching him and his family and friends hiking and camping. You the man Dan! Great reviews on the gear too. I think I'm catching the Hiking camping Bug. You ever go fishing?
Great video and awesome job starting them out early. It's always great seeing kids enjoying nature.
Let's get this party started!! 🤘
Hello, I'm a travel UA-camr from Korea.Your video really helped me a lot. Thank you.😁
This is awesome!
Hahaha!!! Not even 30 seconds in and I'm on the floor laughing about the girls needing the bathroom... I can relate to that so well! Just discovered your channel and it only took me 24 seconds to subscribe. Okay, gotta go and dive into this video and all the rest you have, Cheers!
Great video! It’s great to see you introducing your daughter to the adventures of backpacking. I started backpacking with my kids thru Scouts, and it’s awesome to see how they grow and develop thru the experience. Love the videography!
Thanks Jenny!! I appreciate it!!
We all need a 1mph hike while catching frogs once in a while. Looks like it was fun. Great to see the world through their eyes.
And there's not the extra weight of ego.
Making memories! ❤️
That nemo in Wide is something I think I need to get! Great vid man 👍
Thanks Edward!
Great video Dan! I'm enjoying the longer form trip videos. Keep 'em coming, and I think you could even make them a little longer!
Great video dan. It has inspired me even more to get out on the trail with my son!
Keep sharing and safe travels!
Awesome Ken!!!!!!
I’m enjoying the video Dan. What a fun adventure. I’m the same way with campsites. If I can find a good primitive and free site I will jump on it. Tx 🤘
Primitive campsites can be AMAZING!!!
What a great time! Love the vlog and that you got to make memories with the kids 😃 Great drone shots too man. Next level 🙌🏻
Awesome family camping video! Backpacking done right! keep up the good work and thanks for sharing!
Thank you Rick! Appreciate it!
Great video.
Love this, Dan! Building memories to last a lifetime - for all of you. "I found a snake"!" 🐍❤️ Beautiful footage, too. Hike on!
😂thanks April!!
Awesome vid buddy. I'm taking my 5 year old for a little 30 mins hike and a camp soon can't wait it's his first time
Great video!!
This is so wonderful to see ❤️❤️
Nice job. Great tips on taking kids camping.
Hey I’m a Hoosier from Indianapolis and have yet to venture there! On the list. Thanks for sharing! If you haven’t yet check out Shades State Park with the kids sometime. Lots of ravines but short and easy plus there’s a backpackers camp.
Awesome! Good to know! Thanks so much!
Excellent video. It's great to see kids getting out there and enjoying the outdoors. I'm actually getting my 12 year old to come along with me in a couple weeks. Kettle moraine per your suggestion 🤗
Great job Dan..I like the drone work..what kind do you have..you don't have it part of your gear list yet..so glad you got to go camping with your daughter..you are 100% correct in that these are the moments she will never forget..can't wait till the next one..
Great that you can make those memories with her. I live in SW MI and haven't been to the Manistee river trail yet. If you do go there I'd love you to post the video. Thanks again.
We actually ended up going to pictured rocks in upper Michigan instead. The guys I went with voted they wanted to go there instead. The weather turned out to be great for it as well! Video coming soon!
Nice vid... prayers
Scout Smith, I did the same thing! Great video Dan! Thanks for taking us with you. Looks like you had a great time!
P.S. love the drone footage too!!
Thanks so much, Josh! It was a great time!
Excellent video! Best of times....
This is your best video, hands down.
I’d love to see that the kids are carrying. It will give me some ideas for what my kids could handle.
I’ll work on that video. It’s been a big request!!
Beautiful trip.
That was an enjoyable vid. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
Thanks Bill!
Great video Dan!
That was awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌
Everytime i take my girls its either raining or super hot. Looks like you all had a great trip. Good stuff
Very nice. God bless!
You werent far from me. I live in the hoosier national forest. It is beautiful! Alot of great hiking trails.
That’s awesome, Angela! It was about a 6 hr drive for us from Wisconsin LOL
@@DanBecker if you are down this way again sometime you should let me know. My husband and I can meet you and hike!
Another great video, Dan. Making memories with the kids and enjoying God's creation.
Love Saucony shoes as well!
Thanks, Brian! Those shoes are amazing LOL
For a brief moment you made me wish that my 2 son's were pre teens again.
I loved seeing a hiking video with kids! I’d love to know what gear the girls used and how much weight they carried. I’m hoping to soon to take my 9 year old on her first backpacking trip.
Were you going to hike the Manistee River Trail in Michigan? That is a great trail! I did that last fall with my two oldest boys.
👍👍
New to the channel. Subbed a couple days ago. Your videos are awesome. I'm trying to get more into hiking and all the advice and reviews you give (whether I know it already or not) is very entertaining. Got me all excited for my hike this Sunday.
Wow, Eric! That’s great to hear! And thanks so much for subscribing! Have a great hike!
I wanted to see the snake! How come you didn't get a shot of the snake your daughter found? She was super excited about it.
It actually was a salamander we think LOL! By the time I got over there it ran off!
I'm watching the video now what a great trip that is how do you like that new water bag bladder you're using and I'd like a little more info on that quilt later on I'm going to be in the market for a quilt I'm trying to get away from the mummy bag
Hey Dan, love your video man. It's nice to be with kids out in the wood. Kids bring joyful in different ways. Plus it's priceless quality time. I'm glad to see the variety of videos that you bring to us. I enjoyed it and like it. Question: about the BRS stove, can I use the Wal-Mart Coleman 1lbs green propane bottle on it? Thanks in advance, Leon,
Thanks for that encouragement! I am fairly certain you can use it for that. I’m pretty sure those tops on those propane tanks are universal. The BRS has a pretty standard size stove thread. Otherwise, for five dollars, you can just pick up one of the super small canisters. I usually pick up the ones that are 110 g and that will get me through at least four days out in the back country!
I do not know about the large Wal-Mart can but the BRS stoves can be used on the Coleman 500gram (1lb) cannisters which if bought in six packs or some form of bulk work out at a decent price.
I do use the 110 gram Coleman cannisters as easier for the kids to carry and adequate for a long weekend hike but they are nearly the same price as the 500 gram cannisters so IMHO poor value. You can buy adapters on EBay to refill the smaller ones from the 500gr ones which gives four refills.
Another hack I use on the small canister is to refill them from the cheaper nozzle type butane bottles you can get for the suitcase style single ring stoves, commonly come in 4 packs, adapter again available on EBay. In the UK we have a propane/butane mix brand in a nozzle can which give very similar performance to the Coleman cold weather cannisters and works out very economically.
We only use the larger cans when car camping or on longer trips, there are a number of videos on UTube showing the adapters and refilling process.
Did you know that The Waffle House Index is an informal metric used by the FEMA to determine the effect of a storm and the likely scale of assistance required for disaster recovery
😮
Looked like a pretty flat trail, was there many up hills on this trail
Not at all! It’s a pretty easy trail. There was a lot of mud though when we went.
Martinsville.......22 miles I believe
Hello dan, I was wondering if you could show us what part of the park you did. I'm trying to locate good primitive/backpacking sites like the one you stayed at and knowing your route would be appreciated. Thanks
Great question! We did two lakes trail. Unfortunately, campsites are not marked on the map anywhere. You just need to keep your eyes open for campsites along the way. You can camp anywhere you like as long as you’re off the trail bit. That’s exactly what we did. My recommendation would be to call the Rangers office and ask them if they could pinpoint any camping spots they may know about.
Excellent Video! I'm getting ready for a quick trip to the Manistee River and I could possibly be meeting up with another backpacking UA-camr. My SHT hike is coming soon and they still have snow up on the north end!
Thanks, Bob! Are you going to be videoing that trip? I can’t wait to watch it! That’s gonna be awesome! I’m actually headed back up to pictured rocks this morning!
@@DanBecker I'll make a short video for my trip. I hear that Pictured Rocks trails are extremely wet and muddy in some areas. Most of the snow should be gone and the lake still has some ice along the shore. It still will be a good trip for you.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ loved this and makes me so excited for next weekend heading out with my son! I put a notification on to watch the premier but who was I kidding, I was still fast asleep (would have been like 4 or 5am I think here when it premiered lol). You need to do some kid stuff reviews. Were they Osprey Ace packs the kids had? That’s what my son uses (50L). What’s in their bags and how heavy are they? I don’t know how much to load him up with. We’ve only been out once together and he just had his sleeping bag and clothes and a bit of food & water. What sleeping bags etc do the kids use? I can’t get a Tensor in a 25R in Australia yet (have seen the other sizes here but no 25R) so I settled on the new Nemo Astro instead for now - my son has the old valve model so maybe we’ll be able to push them right together and make a big bed lol. And I’ll patiently wait for the Tensor in the size I want! Thanks for sharing your trip with us ❤️
Thanks for the encouragement! I’m definitely going to try to have reviews on items that kids bring. Keep an eye out for it! Also if you’re going to love that Nemo pad! It’s absolutely amazing!
