  • Getting out on the bad weather days tests you and your gear more than fair weather days. A wet weather hike on the Bear River in Petoskey, Mi.
    Petoskey, a great place to visit.

    My dog (Belgian Malinois) requires a lot of exercise, rain, snow, heat, winds, day, night, city, bush….he is always ready to go.

    Thanks for taking us along. One other benefit of hiking in inclement weather is that there are fewer people out.

    I’d rather hike in rain than hot Sun. Fall just after it rains is my favorite. About 40-50 degrees.

    Back in the day I hiked in the Great Smoky Mountains... once got caught in a big thunderstorm more than halfway up the mountain 😯 We weren't prepared for much of anything back then...smh We just stayed away from the taller trees...
    Good advice as always MR 😎👍

    Where I live, camping and hiking was easiest Nov-Feb; less rain, cool, few insects. But things were greener and wildlife more active during the rainy season. (I say "was" because I haven't been able to do it for some years).

    I live in northern Michigan, in the UP. We literally only have two seasons- snow and bugs. The mosquitoes are treacherous. I would love to move but I guess it's better to be where no one else wants to 🤦

    What a wonderful, beautiful and relaxing vid that's chock full of great advice and tips! Have a question on native edibles to specific areas...is there a good book that you can recommend for this area? I live in Ohio and we probably have much the same flora. Thank you so much for all that you do and God bless you and yours.
