Sweeww! Lol Although I got to be honest with you after watching a few of my finished edits I am actually thinking I almost prefer more of the holding camera shots and less of the staging shots. I feel like the blogs or more fun when I’m holding the camera but what are your thoughts?
@@BrianHikesAllDay I think the handheld shots definitely make the viewer feel more like we’re right there with you guys. Some of those staged shots help show the steepness of the climbs and the scale of how vast everything is around you (I’m sure they can sometimes be a pain in the butt to setup). If you’re telling a 30+ minute story it’s probably best to keep mixing up the shots periodically. Drone shots would be dope but that would be a pain to drag around plus illegal in spots (lame!). Whatever you’re doing it seems to be working, I’ve enjoyed watching the channel grow!
This makes the herd path I took up Cliff look like a walk in the park! Great job on this one! What the video doesn’t show is how hot and humid it was this day! Great video Brian and Tex!
Amazing video! I totally get how you felt when you finally emerged at the summit of Cliff - that's how I felt when I emerged from the boulder caves of Mahoosuc Notch after taking four hours to get through that mile. You really showed very well just how thick that bushwhack is.
@@BrianHikesAllDay Yes, that one was also really impressive. It's amazing you did both of those on the same day - just one of those crazy adventures would more than tire me out.
True story, Tony and I took a nap in the cole for 20 minutes sleeping on moss. It was a very mentally exhausting day but the nap really super charged us for the Cliff Climb
Dude! That is INSANE!!!! Love it! I can't believe how long that bushwack was! And how thick!!!! Holy F Absolutely love it! Do you use a stand-alone compass (not an app on your phone) Was that somebody's hike and you followed their trail or did you plan it? (and by no means am I trying to diminish your efforts, I'm just curious) Way f'n cool.
I looked at a satellite and a map and I drew my own route. Before I went. I was not following anyone’s track I was making my own and hoping for the best
I just used the satellite. And checked every few minutes to make sure I was still heading in the direction I wanted to. Surprisingly I was dead balls on the money with exactly how I wanted to go. A Compas would definitely help make a straighter line in general but I didn’t use it
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I loved this day. There is really no words to describe to anybody what we went through and I loved every second of it
Hey Brian, I've been watching your videos for a while and wondering about a few things; do you have to deal with constant tics/lyme disease, poison ivy/oak problems, have you ever had dangerous wildlife encounter (do you pack anything for such an event) and I assume you carry cell phone plus Garmin - do you ever have no internet/satellite/whatever? I'm just thinking about some of these issues as I plan my own adventures. Thanks!
I have never and I literally mean not once have I ever seen a tick in any of the high peaks regions in New Hampshire Vermont or New York. i’m not even Maine. I also haven’t seen any poison ivy or poison oak out there. I have encountered some poisonous type plants bushwhacking in the Catskills though that did cause some rashes on my legs but I’m not even sure what I cross paths with. Nettles irritate your skin but go away when you’re out of it. I have never to this day had any negative wildlife encounters. I had a weird chipmunk pop out of a log one time and literally looked at me with his mouth wide-open and he was just screaming and it was kind of funny. I’ve crossed paths with a bear in New Jersey. It was a mom with two cubs and she came flying out of a tree and charged me so I went back up the mountain and I bushwhacked down a different path. Are used to carry bear spray but I don’t anymore. Just never really feel the need to carry it because I just never encounter bears in the mountains. It can definitely happen but I haven’t had that experience. I always carry long pants long shirt and full layers to cover up if I have to walk through some sort of agitation that’s irritating. I always carry bug net with me to cover my face etc. I have never had an issue with satellite. The Hiking app I use I draw my own maps and save them so that even without service they load and satellite always works no matter what. You don’t need service for satellite. Carry a battery bank more than one charging cable to charge if I need. I also have cables to charge headlamps and everything else. One thing I can tell you that’s been a lifesaver is carrying an actual pump filter. Are used to carry a sawyer squeeze but realized you need fresh flowing water to really make that work. With the pump filter you could literally get clean drinking water out of a stagnant puddle.
It was an awesome summer. But unfortunately my father just passed away on Thursday which was very sudden. Still trying to process it all and trying to stay strong
@@BrianHikesAllDay So sorry for your loss my friend, I understand, my Father passed a few years ago. Hang in there my brother, it'll get easier. You take care, stay safe man 👊
another great day in the woods
Wow! 5 miles! Insane!
Saw you guys coming down Cliff after all that bushwhacking. You said it was crazy, now I know why!!
Hahaha awesome!
W-O-W! Now THAT is a hike! And don’t think we don’t notice the extra lengths you go to place the camera ahead of you.

It was such a pleasure meeting you that day! Yeah I forgot about how hot it was a day until you reminded me
Now that's my kind of fun! Great video, epic hike
So glad you liked it. This is totally my kind of hiking as well. Way off the beaten path totally taking a chance hahahah
You guys are amazing and fearless! So awesome!
Thanks lol. We have a lot of fun out there
this one was nuts!!😂
Hahaha it was absurdly amazing 😂
Wow! That was a crazy bushwhack!
The craziest was at the top of Cliff hands down
@@BrianHikesAllDay looked like it. I love a good bushwhack, but damn that was nuts! I always enjoy your videos, excellent content!
Thanks so much man. I truly go above and beyond for my content.
@@BrianHikesAllDay understatement brother!!
Finally someone that notices. I’m nearly climbing every single slide twice with camera staging
Amazing video! I totally get how you felt when you finally emerged at the summit of Cliff - that's how I felt when I emerged from the boulder caves of Mahoosuc Notch after taking four hours to get through that mile. You really showed very well just how thick that bushwhack is.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this! Such an epic journey. Assuming you watch the Redfield slide right before this?
@@BrianHikesAllDay Yes, that one was also really impressive. It's amazing you did both of those on the same day - just one of those crazy adventures would more than tire me out.

I just love this kid. So much joy and awe. Stay awesome Brian. I'd hike with you any day, but i doubt my 50 year old ass could keep up. 😂

Gawd if this doesn’t show you what ADK bushwhacking is like I dunno what can
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I loved this day. There is really no words to describe to anybody what we went through and I loved every second of it
Tuff wack dude!
Glad you’re watching all the videos, bro, I put a lot of time into them and you’re not gonna find that anywhere on the Internet

@@BrianHikesAllDay Great info! Thanks so much for the lengthy reply and taking the time! Learning a ton from Brian_Hikes_All_Day
