    Have to admit that Dinty Moore was a favorite of mine when family camping but we used instant potatoes. The kids loved it as did we. You have been circling around where I live and on many of the trails I have traversed. Kept seeing many places I have been too. When someone loses something they may come back looking for it that is why I don't remove objects but leave. Just my opinion. People who live here probably walk the same trails often and when losing something can go back and look for it. Glad you like the area. What is not to like, right? Glad you liked our piece of Heaven in Hell. Cheers.

I just found your channel, and I'm hooked! Seeing specific trees on the trail that I know and land markers just makes me giddy. You have also done several in Tennessee I've done! Love it guys! Please keep it up! I tell everyone to unplug and get outdoors. Your doing a great thing. Unfortunately, I have had to have a couple foot surgeries and I need at least 1 more. But you better believe I'll be back out there as soon as I can! I feel myself getting fat in this house and I'm definitely stir crazy. Thanks again

    You were hiking in the Pinckney State Recreation Area. Adjacent to the west is the Waterloo State Recreation Area. There’s a trail that goes from the west end of one to the east end of the other - the Waterloo-Pinckney Trail. That mile marker 30 is for that trail. Total distance is around 37-38 miles. The markers are short. It’s a wonderful trail. Camping at 10.5 miles (Pines), 22.5 (Green Lake), and 30 (Blind Lake).

    Congrats Robbie ! Rare to see you eat so well on a backpacking trip - like to believe your wife had something to do with it ( lol ) .
    @39:38 At the water pump , I would have pumped the water for 20 seconds or so to clear most of the standing/floating sediments. Hopefully , no lead piping was used. Maybe overkill , but would have dropped a purification tablet especially if the trip is only mid-way . It'll also to a degree sanitize the water bladder and tubing.
