He's moving slow because he has to carry those giant balls
😂
They say that they already put them in your face😂😂😂😂
Hilarious 😂😂😂
Ayo
He's been encumbered from those balls of gold
Bro, this guy hasn't got balls, he has planets💀
He ain’t have planets, he has the whole universe💀
Bro got them infinity stones 💀
I loaned them to him, they're mine
😂😂😂
And we haven’t seen him since 😂😂😂😂
-Beware the monsters.
Him:I am the monster.
Pro Tip: This thought is actually very helpful for overcoming fear☝️
@BUZZZILLAAAAAAA my flashlights did temporarily stop working at one point...almost had a heart attack in that moment.
@@trailtrekkertvahh let me guess you found absolutely nothing because people talk shit all there life 😂😂😂
I’ve as I said earlier BEEN OUT AT NIGHT ALONE GOING UP FAR INTO THE SIERRA NEVADAS , It was fine till I had three days up near an alpine lake of Bigfoot stuff , Rock clacks to heavy no doubt footfalls and impressions that are just the size because it’s hard soil , Alone in your tent miles from anyone is a lot different than you suspect, Usually around 3:00 a.m. or a bit after shi.. happened , You try and take one out and I emphasize try and you probably can’t and there’s others around for sure , Other stuff too out there , I never would of believed it until it’s your reality , As a kid living a lot of the time in the Sierras we found evidence , I am surprised many have doubts ? A federal forest service head honcho came out stating he’s seen his shard and why the old regime denied or blamed a lot on bears or cougars , Check out Missing 411 by David Paulette’s ! He’s been in a few different capacities in law to other ventures and dedicated a lot to bringing visibility to their out there to the missing the Parks keep a lot from us knowing . $$ is the main culprit , The parks generate more than most would believe . The Appalachian areas this guy speaks of has some evil people out there to feral living back in groups . Prison for life or make it out in the remote area and spy on to kill and attack those vulnerable . Do the math and you’ll find out .
Great comment
Meets a guy hiking towards him who says “aren’t you scared of bumping into a serial killer?” and replies “now what are the chances of two of us running into each other?”.
Lol 😂
@@trailtrekkertvI have a solo night hike coming up. I'm totally going to steal this line in case I see any other potential trail threats .
This comment is a bit underrated 😂
Gigachad based way to respond.
I am afraid of darkness & being alone .esp in the woods. So why do it??!!!,
In Tennessee when the sun goes down, we go indoors!!!
As an Englishman and purely out of genuine intrigue, why is this? We don’t have your wildlife of course but we are no strangers to some seriously scary shite!
You act like people don't camp in southern Appalachia all the time.
Yep and we always keep a weapon within arms reach (or maybe I’m just paranoid)
In the southern Appalachia we like to go camping and even stargazing at night. You know we even might start a hike super early to photograph the sunrise or start a hike super late to photograph the night sky. Nothing happens to us, it’s just woods! Cities with a lot of people are way scarier
@darlinidwaitforyouYou’re right
There's a very good evolutionary reason why humans are afraid of the dark and especially of the dark in the wilderness. Listen to your ancient ancestors.
I agree. But where’s the fun in that? Life is meant to be so much more. Take some risks, but do so with PLANNING and CAUTION.
@@trailtrekkertv I agree. I was in the infantry and a paratrooper when I was young, but we planned carefully and tried to minimize risk.
Do be silly if you still believe in monsters you need to grow up your not a child
@@joehossack4135 I didn't say anything about believing in monsters.
@joehossack4135 there are things out there that are of legend that do in fact exist-I’ve had more than one unexplainable experience
oof. i'm an Appalachian native and the idea of hiking these woods after dark don't quite set right with me, lol. nope! the woods is fine during the day, but the vibe changes after the sun sets
I agree. I don't do this anymore after hearing too many strange experiences.
Raised in Appalachia, no one knowing the area would do this.
I was not a local-that is correct.
this is real i can confirm
Seems like that only applies to some locals who are over 60 or so. Everyone i know in western NC and Virginia loves camping in the mountains
@@darlsbarkley3493yeah because they dont believe the Story of their grandparents or the Legends of the native tribes- what is very stupid
@@darlsbarkley3493 i’m from virginia. i love camping and the mountain. i know for a FACT i would not do stuff like this at night. rules of the appalachian trail and appalachia in general have been ingrained in me since i was old enough to hike.
me, Appalachian born and raised. I'm scared of those woods at night, heard too many stories, seen enough while night hiking to at least make me bring a friend or two (loaded or unloaded). Maybe I'm just superstitious, still love the mountain's freedom though.
Walk with Jesus ✝️🌌🎶
@@angham3829Amen🙏
Raised in the mountains of East Tennessee. Never, ever had any reason to be afraid of the woods. I’ve seen bears, coyotes, dog packs, herds of pigs, caught poisonous and non poisonous snakes, watched all the critters, including humans. I’ve been lost, walked up on a working shine still and was ordered to leave, camped, hunted, fished and swam in the creeks. The mountains hold me, almost cradle me, provide food, drink, shelter and beautiful entertainment. Just go…quietly, with eyes open, ears alert, peaceful and calmly enjoying what’s before you. Deal with it…
@@papajeff5486bud all the things you listed are not why people don’t wanna walk in these woods, but go off bad ass 😂😂😂😂
@@papajeff5486good for you papa. Go at night and record it for us
Aaaaand that gets a 1000 on the FUCK THAT scale folks!
And I’m fucking Australian, that’s how fucked that shit is, I deal with spiders the size of the god damn Eiffel Tower everyday but fuck no to THAT.
😂
Yeah! F that!😂
@WM0302 I get it. Not for everyone 🤷♂️
Yooooo I’ve seen those spiders in australia I could never live there I would let them spiders have my house my car my clothes 😂 like them things are HUGE Australia shouldn’t even be inhabitable wtf yall are STRONG OUT THERE GOD bless yall frfr 😅
@@Melomoney32 It’s like Helldivers 2, except we don’t have guns.
So kind of the skinwalkers to upload this video after!
Come on out. It is safe being all alone in the forest at night with no one to hear you scream...we promise.
in an end of the world/bugout scenario i do not fear man, i do not fear animals, i don’t even fear the dark. but the feeling that i’m being directly stared at when i know i should be alone? unimaginable
That's a good quote. Who said that?
@@trailtrekkertvtyper2909 apparently🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
@@gothgirl4evr881I know a Goth girl in TN!! 😊 I miss her!! 😢. Kim
I ran almost into a killer one night.
When I was a kid we used to live in a small camp of about 15 houses. There were no street lights and the local store was about a mile away. My mother used to send me to the store sometimes after the sun went down. It funny how your mind plays tricks on you at night.
When crickets stop chirping, there's something wrong.
@dwaynejacobs9558 😳
🤷♂️ sometimes people say it not real to not be scared
It is so true 👍 i used to live in a small town as well....
I'm from a hollar in Kentucky and one night I was out down on an old dirt road and was just hanging out listening to the radio and went to start the car and the battery was dead, so I walked in the complete pitch black to a house I knew was down the road, it was so dark you wouldn't be able to see what was going to eat you, but I had no choice, cell phones didn't exist, I wasn't worried about people because I was from there, I was worried about something in the night that wasn't people
Bigfoot
I am from The hills and I have been in those woods at night. Yes you see something moving. Shadows really but there are Bobcat, mtn lions, bears and snakes that will kill you in these woods, never heard my name though. You just better hope the crickets don't stop chirping. Never go in alone and stay together, don't be playing jokes slipping away. It is incredibly easy to get lost in there.
I have to remember things like that when I'm away from home. We have .a lot of forest where I live but unless you're a cat or a small dog, there's literally nothing that will hurt you.The worst dangers would be either to get lost or too trip on a rock and hurt your ankle.
Crickets stopped one early morning behind my trailer in the Ozarks. It was bigfoot . He found me. It was huge.
@@Micismine_🤔
@@Micismine_did you s*** yourself
I just did this the other night from 1:30am’ish to almost 4am, everyone keeps calling me Crazy! But honestly, so peaceful 😌 Went from having a terrible day, to one of my best nights
The sound of your footsteps is really calming. It is slow. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching :)
I agree. I live in a forest in Pa and have camped in many others. I've never been afraid at night.
I went on a hike last week that deliberately ended at night. I didn’t feel unsafe, but I had a distinct feeling I did not belong there. I agree with another comment that said it must be instinctive from our younger days as a species [when we had no means to protect ourselves from the things that go bump in the night.]
Always trust your intuition! It's there for a reason :)
The amount of 𝒶𝓃𝓍𝒾𝑒𝓉𝓎 I have watching this video 🥲
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Freaking insane...I have been listening to Missing 411 all day.....this surely is dangerous
It is. I don't recommend it to others. Stay safe out there!
David Paulides is full of shit.
Not if he was packing
He’s not wrong. I’ve lived here all my life and I hardly walk in the woods at night, if I do, I have a peace keeper with thermal, a flashlight with extra batteries and a few other buddies, hunting coyotes. But the mountains, I definitely stay away from at night consider I live right at the base of them.
@@ZackQuackTV I've found that if there are caves nearby, weird stuff happens at night. Which is why I don't really hike at night anymore.
West Virginia here. We were always told never to sing or whistle in the woods. Apparently it was a Shawnee thing.
I'm from Africa and we were told the same thing , I'm sure it's for a reason thanks for sharing
At nighttime, I guess?
@@Vingul Anytime.
@@arphod Interesting.
in China have the same
This would be a lot more fun with night vision, not only are you invisible to your environment, but you could see even further, depending on your weather condition. And if you wanna be real tacticool, add a peltor headset with your night vision, you will hear everything, and see (almost) everything. It's an awesome (very expensive!) experience.
That's what you think. Trust if there's anything out there I'm sure it can see in the dark plus hear your movement. Come on now use your brain dude lol.
@@johncovington3065
You think I believe you're truly invisible to your environment using night vision? I know there are creatures that can see and hear you at night. I also never mentioned that you wouldn't be heard. A good way to not be heard through this is go on foot and move with the sound of wind if there is any. That's if you want to be sneaky. It was really uncalled for you to just straight up insult me man... Let me use my hollow skull and I'll let you use yours.
Good day to you my good sir.
I'm think of doing a night hike but have my rifle and bow with me but I'm thinking what kind of night vision should I get a binoculars or monocular, what would you say?
@leonardor659 Definitely bring something powerful enough to defender yourself against large predators (a firearm and bear-spray that is easily accessible). I’ve not used night vision but sounds like a cool option. A bright headlamp and handheld flashlight is my usual go to. Lastly, be sure to tell family or friends when/where you’re going and what time they can expect you back. Be safe and have fun 👍
@@leonardor659 I run an Elbit Gen3 Thin Filmed Green Phosphor PVS-14 (monocular.) Monocular night vision has its advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of a PVS-14: It is easier to see with your uncovered eye if there is a light behind you making you visible. You will have one eye that can adjust to the darkness while the other can see in the dark. If you have a bridge system where you can put a thermal imaging monocular you can bridge a PVS-14 and a FLIR together. It is much cheaper to buy a monocular than a binocular night vision unit.
Disadvantages of a PVS-14: Your depth perception is not as good as if you had a PVS-31 (Binocular.)
Advantages of Binocular night vision: Binocular night vision allows you to have more depth perception than a monocular.
Disadvantages: Binocular night vision can cost two to four times more than a monocular unit and be a little bit heavier than a monocular.
This is for analog units. If you are going to use digital, I would suggest monocular because digital NVGs have a framerate of around 30fps, which would give you half the reaction time if you were running towards a tree and needed to stop.
Analog binocular night vision units are way more pricey, but if you can afford a gen3 binocular NVG unit (I recommend Gen3 L3 Unfilmed White Phosphor despite it making the price MUCH HIGHER), I would suggest you get it. Green Phosphor does the same job but puts more strain on your eyes, but if you need "budget night vision," go for an analog green phosphor PVS-14. Generations of night vision matter, Gen3 is the BEST generation to get (currently). If there are a lot of trees and it isn't a full moon out, I would also suggest you get an IR light, unless you're hiding from someone who is using night vision, then an IR light would help assist you if the night is unforgivable in its conditions.
There are many other factors that can go into your kit, weight, gear, how many batteries you want to carry, NVG lasers, etc. It's up to you how you want to gear up for the night. One thing I would strongly suggest to look at is weight and necessity of your equipment. IR lasers are a big help, but are very expensive unless you get a Chinese knockoff (which you'd have to upgrade the internals of to make it stand recoil.)
If you have more questions, let me know.
Alone, I'd at least have Mr. Rugar, Mr. Remington, and Mr's Smith & Wesson with me.
Nice, night hikes are some of my favorite! So much life comes out at night.
I hope you’re still alive buddy. I really do.
They don’t kill anybody, but there is rules, like if something chases you, don’t run, walk away quick, even if you keep hearing those sounds behind you, they won’t touch you
@@Ba_Sailorso it’s them trying to make you run which in turn will most likely make you lose the path then you screwed…… no thank you..
Still alive but don't do night hikes anymore! I've had too many strange experiences at this point.
@@trailtrekkertvlike what? Are they on your channel mate. I’m from England and if I do this in the woods near me you more than likely bump into some crackhead asking you for a lighter, or some teenagers on the piss up.
@@jordieroyton6720look up Appalachian folklore. America is a whole other ballgame when it comes to certain places at night.
Blud got a death wish.
There could be bears, nocturnal hunters, or people with malicious intentions out there.
(Though unlikely, there could be dogmen. Those suckers can cover ground super fast on all fours.)
Dude they can cover it just as fast on 2 legs lol plus they got crazy hops.
@@johncovington3065 true. Ever seen the Michigan dogman footage. That woofer moved like a bat out of hell.
(I call bs on the Discover Channel when they "debunked it." The guy claimed he wore a ghillie suit and did a crab walk.
Like... no, that was clearly a canine in the footage and that was no crab walk.)
@@jamesjesse9773 O it's not unlikely, they are 100% there and everywhere else i can promise you that. Discovery channel debunking that video is bs, because it's real. Unfortunately, it would ruin gov future plans, not only if people knew they are real but what them and the others actually are.
There's a reason they are so intelligent, the other half of their dna explains all their other abilities.
You will NEVER find me in the woods alone at nightt again!!! Maybe I've seen too many of these videos!! You never know WHAT is around the corner!!!
I wouldn't suggest it. I'm with you: It is dangerous!
🤷♂️ you can be lucky and get what you is asking for
I live in the foothills of Appalachia. My husband and I ride atv's at night in the mountains. We have seen and heard things that'd blow your mind.
I wanna hear them
@@jonathanm5733so did you do it
Go on..
I hope your packing some sort of protection? .40 cal or 44 magnum, 9mm, 10mm, 357, or the new 5.37 very good round.
I almost always carry when I’m out in the bush. Never know who or what is out there. Sig Sauer fan, personally.
So in the end the most dangerous thing in the woods at night is a scared hiker with a gun 😂
The wendingo's face:🤫*I must be quite*//
That's when you say: "I SEE YOU OVER THERE! GO AWAY!" Works every time.
Boy, with all the crowds and limited parking spots in the Great Smoky Mountains, you gotta hike at night up Mt. Leconte to Myrtle Point to see a sunrise.
I bet it's worth it though. Yosemite National Park is the same way...have to start before sunrise because of the crowds.
I lived in Pa as a kid in the back country, trees and mountains for miles. Went on a 3 day hiking trip by myself. This would've been the early 90s. The second night I was miles from my place. Not a soul or road for miles in every direction. I just kept getting this odd feeling. The type of feeling you get as a kid when u have to go to the basement with the light off and you scurry back as quick as you can. It was an ominous feeling that wouldnt go away, like I wasn't the predator out there (I only had a .22 so I probably wasn't) I stayed up all night by my fire. About 3 in the morning I swear I saw this big wolfs head peering at me from behind a tree. I could see my fire flickering back in his eyes. Once I comprehended what I was looking at the head darted behind the tree to where I couldn't see it. What was weird was that where the head was at was probably 7 foot off the ground, and the snout was a bit shorter. I know what a bear looks like and this wasn't it. It didn't sound like a bear either. I didn't see it for the rest of the night but I could hear it walking circles around where I set up my camp. It was walking far enough back to wear I couldn't get a glimpse of it. The sound of the walking was like a person. It was the sound of two feet and not four. This went on until the break of daylight and then it quit. I hightailed it back to my house and never walked the woods at night since. I still can't explain what it was. I would've thought Bigfoot or a person stalking me if it wasn't for my getting a glimpse of the head on that thing. There were a bunch of leaves on the ground so I wouldn't have been able to track it. I never went back anyway. Still gives me goosebumps thinking about it.
skin walker hunting
Try going to the reservation you’ll shi yourself
@@BZiddy trust me I've seen enough to not do that, I live in Appalachia.
@@BZiddy what reservation are you referring?
@@lil_shrimp6404 the Navajo reservation, many Navajos or residents have so many crazy story’s and I use to live there 2018-2020 and I experienced so much that it made me believe in it I would hear stuff on the roof, stuff running around my house, my dogs barking, shadows and foot prints outside my house just so much was going on. We had this one ceremonial dance called a yeh beh cheii and it’s where they dress as one of them sort of but it’s holy people that do good and dance, and the event had ended and there was no more dances and a kid came running inside saying he had seen one again and that we had lied to him that all of them had left but they did. That scared me because the previous nights as well we would see a shadow near the outhouse. Anyways many people mistaken them as other beings or creatures but in reality it’s just people that like witch craft many of them are taken a different form by sacrificing a life and making a gateway to the other side like animals etc. they go to caves because there are usually arch’s and holes there that can be transformed into portals to gain powers from another side. Many people say that even in normal human form they can hurt you they have little invisible circles on their hand sometimes and when you shake their hand or they touch you can cause you harm. I know a ton more but that’s all the little
Be careful, I hear on a quiet night out there you can hear a grown man scream
VON DOOOOM, VON DOOOM….
That would be the woolly swamps. Just ask Charlie Daniels.
It's just Bigfoot having a good night with her partner
Ever heard of a thing called a skinwalker
@@theclicksfarm3942 yes along with Bigfoot , Loch Ness monster , the tooth fairy and Santa Claus. One is just as believable as the other.
I live in these mountains nothing but small critters and big spiders absolutely nothing to be afraid of trust me there is more to be afraid of in populated cities not the woods it peaceful
until another Human is in the woods with you.
@@Ender1king I welcome all human interactions good the bad the ugly I'm more than prepared for just about anything 😉😉😉

@@PracticallyBlind um ok?
@@PracticallyBlindexcept he said he lives in the mountains
Why would you do that?
bro is the one who knocks 💀
A forest at night is a very safe place, it is really easy to hide and not be seen. Of course using a flaslight or making a fire makes you visible from miles away.
I’d prefer a flashlight…much respect to anyone willing to hike at night without one
They can see you anyway, whereas you wouldn’t be able to see anything.
@@Vingul I wasthinking about hiding from predatory people, at least not advertising your presence. Bigfoot and predatory animals are a different story.
Anybody that goes in the woods alone especially at night is mentally unstable in my opinion. That's dangerous you never know what's lurking around.
Yeah i do often and forest is creepy at night, it's like walking into someone's territory, good thing majority of forest animals aren't hostile toward us.
@penclaw Man I'm a coward when it comes to the woods lol
Well i think im extremely mentally unstable because my nickname is lurk😂 i scare all of my family by just "popping up" or " shifting the air like a ghost" cause how quiet i am
@kbosluhray1236 😂 that's funny dude you made me laugh. You be popping up out of nowhere on them lol
Hey u see my baseball ⚾️??? He missing a few chromosomes...
As an AT thru-hiker, (sobo 2019) I absolutely love hiking at night. Yes, it can be a bit unnerving at times, but I love it. When I thru-hiked the FLT (sobo 2022) I was forced to hike at night a lot towards the end due to the heat.
How do you know if someone's a thru-hiker? Don't worry, they'll tell you. 🤣
My man hunts skinwalkers
Someone's gotta do it
Did you whistle?
(ten seconds in from two trees away) "....hello, Clarice."
😂😂
Why did I just read that in a Sir. Anthony Hopkins voice 😂😅
I used to live in Virginia and would frequently go into the woods at night alone. I now live in Texas where i was born, i now go into the woods at night here in the Hill Country and My Family thinks I'm crazy. There is no difference between being in the woods from day or night except you cant see as much, im familiar with the woods and the sounds, if everything stops moving then you know there is another predator nearby. Here we do have Cougars and a Black Panther has been spotted recently. Since i am a Combat Veteran and wear hearing aids I turn them up and its like having Super Hearing, and i have Night Vision Binoculars that let me see anything in the dark.
I admire your courage and wisdom to venture out of our comfort zone and what’s out there.Our curiosity as humans truly takes us there. I am one of you, who truly would do that!!👏
This sounds so nice. I wish I was there rather than here right now.
Why?
Why appalachian trail is dangerous?
This is why our ancestors just kicked back around the fire that god gave us. Demons fear the light .
Good point...never thought about that
i’ve done this a couple days ago in SNP. alone too, late after sundown. thinking, well, a lot of people hike in the dark to see the sunrise. i think the major thing about hiking at night is that it’s when predators hunt. you’re basically setting yourself as bait. needless to say it will be my last.
Although we are thankful for the tourism, as a lofe-long West Virginian I can tell you there are no feral people, dogmen or Wendigos to my knowledge. They're not even urban legends in this state. The Cranberry outback does have a Bigfoot though! Right on the Webster and Nicholas County line, more on the Webster side. And we DO have black panthers regardless of what authority says they are there. I have both seen and heard them!
that's bravery to a level unlike anything I've ever seen
I appreciate your kind words 🙏 Thank you for watching!
I live in the Canadian north. Sometimes I go for a walk at night with a machete, I hear noises but I think it's the creatures hiding from me, I'm the monster...
Glad to hear you bring protection my friend! Personally, I don't hike at night anymore because of the strange experiences I've had. Be safe!
I was a park ranger and I spent many nights sleeping alone on the ground in Appalachia. There's nothing there at night that's not there during the daytime. But there was that one night...
What was it, do you think?
I do this too in my back yard.. but I always carry my shotgun with plenty of ammo 📻
Smart man!
I want to go here sometime soon
At night? Yeah might as well start digging your grave buddy. See how slow he's moving? That's the weight of his balls. You're not that guy pal trust me.
You're brave buddy, I wouldn't do that unless I absolutely had to, lol.
It's not that crazy I live in the woods and do it all the time. Fear is a choice
Are there brown bears in the Appalachian mountains???
We go on the trail during the day. I got no business out there at night.
That's a good idea glad you got sense to know not to be in the woods when it's dark with very little visibility.
You're brave & crazy to hike through mountains that late. Great video though.
The creepy part is that it is dead silent except the hiker.
Is the path pretty well-worn? Or is it difficult to navigate at night?
It was well-worn, thankfully
The silence is ominous!
SPOOKY!!! YOU'RE BRAVE!!😮
You won’t see the squatch guy because camera is focused and your hand is steady. No worries mate
Takes some courage to trek those woods at night on the APT but to do it alone is "crazy" .
This is one trail I'd love to trek (for sure it's -on my bucket list)
SERIOUSLY...THE BIGGEST THING U HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HERE...IS ANOTHER HUMAN...
This is true, but I've HEARD and SEEN some unexplainable things out there.
Anything spooky happen?
Why would you hike at night there?
Because someone said if you don't he has no balls
Bro rlly said “I got Jesus by my side I’m not afraid “
Why are you out there at night?😮 don’t you remember your mama said nothing good happens at night, especially in the woods😢
Maybe she never preached that to him lol
Bro it's exactly how I imagined it
Hot meal on display for all wild animals
it's not scary because you can hear the bugs and frogs
Still eerie though especially since it could go quiet in an instant and then your pooping in your pants.
Good point. If all the critters get quiet...run!
My imagination is too vivid for me to be walking in the dark like that. I see monsters at every turn. Plus, notice how there are no night sounds.
bro doesn't have balls of steel he has balls of tungsten
What am I missing?
Even with a firearm I would feel uneasy
Exactly same here. Something could run up on you in a flash before you even realize. This here is dangerous stuff being in the woods at night.
I don't hike at night anymore because of the strange experiences I've had. If I had a couple buddies and a shotty, I'd do it again.
@@trailtrekkertvever have any paranormal experiences ?
@@Baseball-of4uz I have. Which is why I don't hike at night anymore.
@Baseball-of4uz I have, yes. I recently posted a video explaining why I no longer hike at night.
As long as you don’t encounter weird people, or pack/large predators walking the woods at night is relatively peaceful. You do have to keep the old tales and creepy thoughts from creeping in, but it’s very manageable and fun to do.
Your mind can definitely get to you, if you let it…
I think no one said him the rules💀
What rules?
@@drunkenghoul in appalachian mountains NEVER go ALONE at NIGHT in forest. U can google appalachian mountains rules.
I hunt coyotes at night in the deep woods. Nothing like a wild pack answering back at when its pitch dark. lol The only animal you need to be afraid of are the two legged kind. lol
Moonshine solves everything
Definitely a great post-night-hiking activity, once you’re back home 👍
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...🇿🇦
This man, this man doesn't care about scary feelings, he is the scary one
Hahaha dude seriously...nope. I could never do this...
I will say, I don't hike at night anymore. And, I don't advice others.
It's crazy thinking i grew up in the Pocono Mts walking through woods like these... I've lived in the city the past 25 yrs and this looks terrifying now 😮😂
I prefer not to be seen rather than using flashlight .....
Try, it takes time for eyes to accomodate with darkness and u will start seeing shapes but there's a risk you can get hurt/break leg and that would suck far away from city, also without flashlight u would be completely lost.
Say what you want but both has it's pros and cons. I think I'd choose the light cause at least I'd have a chance to see what's coming at me versus just walking straight into the danger cause I can't see.
Good point.
I’m curious now I gotta look up what kind of animals are in the Appalachian mountain region. I presume bears for sure. Maybe mountain lions. Idk what else minus tons of talks of skinwalkers which personally I like the term wendigo better. Let’s bring that back.
I thought skinwalkers and wendigos were different creatures...? Either way, I've heard sounds I can't explain when hiking at night.
Yeah wendigo and skinwalkers are not the same thing.
Someone's got a death wish.
Nah, just enjoying mother-nature my friend
Why would you do this? What are you looking for?
The mysterious of the world. Imagine the places and creatures that remain undiscovered simply because of fear!
