Just stumbling onto your channel and enjoying it as a new subscriber. I plan on spending some time in the GWNF when I finish building my Kei truck camper. That would be after my broken foot is healed up by the end of summer. At least I have good KZread content to watch until then.

Thanks for finding your way here! The GWNF is a great place to explore. Plenty of trails and even more places to camp. Where are you located?

@@DefiantOffroadI’m out of Lawsonville, NC a couple of hours away. I normally run through on the parkway each spring taking a little trip but now I want to explore the forest.

Somebody finally got a winch!

I'll be the first to admit, it was way overdue.

I absolutely ❤this area.

I'd never ventured onto these trails before. I hit Shoe Creek several times back in the day, but never ventured onto these. I'm glad that I did, I'm definitely coming back to camp!

Thats a nice camp spot. Camping beside a stream is one of our favorite. Beautiful national forest, will sure add this to our list if we go to that area.

A stream of some sort is almost a "must have" for me when it comes to campsites!

As usual, another great video! And it's funny, just 15 minutes before this posted, I was looking at OnX Offroad and the weather forecast trying to decide where I wanted to lead a group of friends through, in the near future and this area and Broad Run Rd were my main focus. My brother and I did Broad Run in March and this area in September, last year. I anticipated every single thing you said or did except I was surprised you didn't do Lower Shoe creek but I'm pretty sure you did a video on that in the last 2 years. When we did Coon Bridge (FS 1167) it was almost sunset and we were going in the up hill (East to West) direction and it looked like no one had been on the part below the "Fun Stuff" in at least a year or two. I felt like the foliage was rubbing on both sides of the car, at the same time, most of the way, up to that point. As I did not have OnX when we did Big Piney, last year, can you give me the GPS points, for those two camp sites? We went down to both but had no way to mark them for future reference.

Thanks! The first one is at: 37.79214, -79.14235. The second one (the large one) is at: 37.78657, -79.15502. I haven't been to Shoe Creek since the closure. I used to go there a lot "back in the day". I almost slid off of the trail and into the creek in the snow one time in my old WJ!

Hey! I’d love to get some of these way points if possible! Thank you!

Seems like you kind of changed the formula up a bit with this one. It's good!

Yep! I was trying to have a day to myself to just relax and cruise some easy trails, and I wanted the video to reflect that. No drone, minimal background music, and more just talking about the trail.

About an hour north of Lynchburg. The GPS coordinates are near the beginning of the video. That'll give you the exact location. Thanks for watching!

is there a weight limit? 1500"s allowed?

I didn't see any signs indicating a weight limit. Big Piney is plenty wide enough for a larger vehicle, but I would avoid Hog Camp and Coon Bridge in a larger vehicle.
