Good honest trip. You kept your head and ass wired together and that is experience at its best! Great vid Newbold!

Man I’d never show up at Dolly Sods without having done my research. You’re lucky you found those guys, kinda miraculous actually.

Comical video at your expense. Poor Bryce. Running into the group reminded me of when I was phoneless. I was going to meet friends at a reindeer farm in Indiana. By providence, I ended up seeing them on a backcountry road, then we found where we were going.

I really enjoyed the vid Bryce! Not a good place to get lost in! Cool seeing Alex make out with you guys!

thanks mr. wish. i will not be taking gps for granted again. it was an eye opener. Alex is a great dude!

Kudos! Thank you for telling a detailed Sods tale of getting lost, found, sorta found, lost, found.... !!!! Done it 2x. It makes you appreciate the the value of being calm, prepared and cool. I spent 3 days loitering in the Bear Rocks area this past Nov. Slept in my vehicle and day hiked waiting for whiteout snow squalls and wind to die down. (I swear, there was supposed to be a window!) It didn't happen. I'm going to give it my best in June. When I get lost and turned around, I'll just ask "What would Bryce do?" And then , I'll laugh a little instead of getting panicky, figure it out, and get lost again. Good job buddy

Great job keeping your head Bryce- this is more important than you know. Notice how many times you thought you were at point A but really at point B. This can happen easily to anyone. No GPS, no signs, poor map- you really showed your skill here. Bravo! You weren’t kidding when you told the guys this was a campfire story! 😎

I made it into a Bryce Newbold video! Check that off the bucket list ✔️ 😀 So glad we found you. Puts it into a different perspective seeing what you went though.

Yes! I was waiting for your perspective on this trip. It gives me some strange comfort knowing even the experienced get turned around sometimes and it ends up being not such a horrible thing, just an inconvenience and a few extra miles. Been there too. I imagine it was a little unnerving but it adds to the “adventure “. Thanks for being honest and giving us the whole story.

Was there last spring and I thought the same thing.

I believe you have another video where you tried to start the same trail but instead started the Bear Rocks Preserve technically north of the sods wilderness. There was a trail sign there a few weeks ago marking the trail head. There is a much easier way to get to lions head a little north and I never understood why the carins exist at the southern point. Also a nice area to camp near the top in a large grove of spruce.

Just backpacked the North Fork Mountain Trail last week. Beautiful area! We were worried about the rain too and our last day we got poured on!

Hello Bryce, it is good to see you again. I saw you recently with the Schill Brothers. You do very well in maintaining your composure. May I ask, what does Dolly Sods stand for? Could it be 'Big Rocky Hill with no signs'? :- ) It's good that you found the guys. I saw Alex video last night. I tried to convince him to make more 'outdoor' videos. Take care out there. The very best to you and family. See you on the next one. 🤗

Dont get lost. 1. Download Avenza 2. then register 3. then search for the map where you’ll be. 4. BF using Avenza w map on the trail put phone in airplane mode. Note: my Iphone lasts 1.5 days with Avenza running but i dont use it continuously i just check my location i dont do breadcrumbs. This saves battery + i always bring small waterproof external battery w cord to execute 2 full recharges of phone. 4 years never lost never run out of battery and this method works for any trip less than 4 days.
