I was stranded there for two days because of bad weather and the ferry wouldn't run. Loved the adventure.

New subscriber here. I was like, "how does he have a sunrise and a sunset over the lake?" Oh, he's on island! I'll pay better attention next time.

Wife and I backpacked North Manitou believe it or not way back in 1985 while we were living in T.C. We actually camped at what appeared to be where you were going to spend the night at Manitou Lake. It was a great trip with what I remember to be perfect September weather. Back then I remember the ferry from Fish Town ran until about Sept. 25thish. I hope you grabbed a brew and a meal at the Cove Restaurant on the wharf in Fish Town before ya left for down state. Loved your tent/lean to, have also enjoyed Knob Creek (when I could afford it)....like you, I missed seeing Atlas! Safe travels.

Super interesting adventure ! I like the fact that you were very descriptive of the hike and elaborated everything so nicely. Epic!!

Great video. I love the sense of solitude that you were able to portray. It's been about 7 years since I've been to North Manitou, and I'm heading back in a couple weeks for a solo trip of my own. This video definitely got me excited for the hiking and scenery!

Glad you enjoyed North Manitou. I did that same hike back in 2005. That west shore at Crescent City is a special place. You can really feel the remoteness of the site with the strong weather blowing in from the open lake to the west. Cheers!

Hey that was fun! I'm in The Pacific Northwest and this island hike in Michigan was truly interesting and inspiring. Very different from the terrain and landscape here. Love the idea of having a cold lake to jump in after a hike! 😊👍👏👏👏👏

Nice adventure! I’ve been to south manitou island it’s just as beautiful . The bandito scramble needs to be scrambled in a fry pan after soaking 😁 I too enjoyed a few nasty spoonfuls until I reread the instructions. It’s really good so try it again .

Been looking at this place and your video may have pushed me to do it- looks great!

try fishing lake Manitou, lots of small mouth bass to eat. Also watch out for ticks in those fields with tall grass right next to the trail. I came back from the island with little hitchhikers latched onto my legs.

I almost did but didn't have barbless lures or whatever they require. I used Permethrin spray so no ticks for me anymore. If you haven't tried it definitely check it out. Military grade bug repellent. Thanks for watching!

Loved the video! How great to get back out in nature and away from the chaos of life. If you could do 2 things different next time, what would you change?

You should invest in a Grayl for water. It policy’s and is just a great set up. I an see the Manitou from my from yard. They are spectacular islands.
