Every time I watch you filter water I worry that you are applying a little too much pressure when you squeeze. It bothered me enough to go to Sawyers website , where I read that they do warn that too much pressure can damage or diminish the filtering capability. Obviously you've lived till this point but I wanted to say something anyway. Much respect for what you've accomplished and many thanks for putting it in such a watchable format.

Just came across this and I'm smiling. It's May, 2024 and you're hiking the PCT now. Now you're learning about steep. 😀

No need to apologize about anything.You are living it man.wish I could be there.

That looked like a scarlet tanager on that branch. Very cool. Never seen one in the wild. Thanks for preaching on leashes. I met a mom with an autistic child who was terrified of dogs on trail. The kid panicked from 30 feet away when he saw my dogs. We were able to back up off the trail and let them pass. Can't imagine what would have happened if my goofy dog went up to him. Poor kid, glad we were leashed up.

Wowwie wow the editing and visuals add ons, love it!! I hear ya there’s a trail I run that’s a “dog” trail and there’s always that one dog that comes at me and the owner is like “oh he/she won’t harm you!” Bad dog parents!

Great trip. Such a beautiful trail. Good to see Gary.

Nice to see you got to check out this area. A lot of great features along the way. Good to see Miles ended up being ok.

Hi Jason it is always fantastic to see you out on trail for a another adventure and it is nice when the trip goes well. Take care

Love it. My son and I did it last October!!! Great trail and great times! Glad to see you do this!!!

Thank you for taking us on another great trip.

Good to see you out on the trail again, hope all is well.

Awesome video Frozen I loved the waterfalls and the detail on the trail. Take Care

Loved the video! I have the Alpine Club's trail guide, so I knew it's a little tough on the elevation in some parts, but actually seeing an experienced hiker's first hand take on it was so informative. I think I picked the right trail, can't wait to get out there!

Awesome video!! from rattlesnakes to wandering dogs you have it all here plus Shorts!! nice hiking and tons of great waterfalls and views thanks so much for taking us along!

Your videos have been a big inspiration for me to get out and plan a trip. Got out a couple weeks ago and hiked the dolly sods and had a great time. Keep doing what you do and inspiring people.

Thats the one thing I think is amazing about you and hikers you watch out for each other. Love that.

Since I was out backpacking with my wife on the Loyalsock-Link Loop from Worlds End State Park the weekend that you were finishing the Loyalsock Trail thru-hike, we almost crossed paths with you. You did get my car in your video. Nice to see Gary on your hike. I enjoyed your hike in the Dolly Sods with him.

Thank you Frozen for giving me yet another hiking destination to do in Pennsylvania. You're the reason I drove from the state of Indiana to hike Minister Creek. Now, I think I'll just make the plans to return and do a portion of this trail! Keep the videos coming!

Frozen, I'm so glad you finally did the LT! I'm doing this as my first thru hike this fall! I first saw Backpacking Adventure's video on it and hopped over to your channel to see if you'd filmed it. Can't wait to watch this!

It’s been a while since a nice hour long video of yours! It’s nice to hear that classic Outdoor Adventures intro music! Great relaxing video for a Sunday morning, really enjoyed it! 👌🏼👍🏼🤘🏼

Thanks for the tour. I'm a native from PA. now living in Oregon for the past 22 yrs. Really enjoyed seeing the Eastern woods again. That rattlesnake was a real hog. Fortunately in all my years hiking the only poisonous snake I came across was a 12" copperhead. I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos.

Thanks for this video Frozen, after watching im starting to plan this trail for later this summer

Great video! Looks like a great hike for sure. Can see why so many recommened it.

Was up at Wayah Bald a couple of weeks ago. Perfect morning. Nobody there except me and my husband. Had one of those mornings of feeling amazingly insignificant. Thought about ya! Great video of your hike...again!

So I definitely bought the guide book for this trail a month ago. Awesome. Aiming for this fall.

Wow 🤩 amazingly beautiful and thrilling

Very enjoyable! You looked like you had a lot of fun out there. I like the scenery but I enjoy watching the stuff you do in camp. I would have liked to scene the mini adjustments you made the first night on your hammock hang. And the bidet is interesting hmmm. Gonna have to look into that. So thanks for that video I really enjoyed it.

I agree 100% on the keep your dog on a leash statement. It seems like it’s getting bad in PA. You’re right, there is no argument. And awesome video! My hubby and I have been trying to visit every PA state park and can’t wait to do Worlds End.

Great video. That Alpine Start coffee is terrible. I use Black Rifle Coffee. Stay cool. Thanks for the trip.

Dogs hike on leashes, Yes! My son nearly cracked his head open on a rock once when he was three. A big boxer pup knocked him over. It was rather traumatic as my husband had hiked ahead out of hearing range, my son was scared and crying but I couldn't pick him up because I had to hold the dog off of him for ten plus minutes until the owner finally showed up. You never know who you will encounter on the trail! Thanks for evoking other good memories though as we have visited World's End before. I was watching thinking that waterfall looks familiar, and then the fenced overlooks. It 's a really cool park!

Great video and love the new logo!

If you need a shorter hike in the same area, the Loyalsock Link Loop is also and amazing hike. If you go when it's warm, make a detour to the Haystacks for some swimming and relaxation! Oh, and I loved that Chai Tea latte packet, but I love Dirty Chai already

My Buddies and I hiked the LT a couple of summers ago. Beautiful trail. Hated how the trail went straight up the hills. it also kinda kicked our ass. Currently doing a painting of the falls, by the ladder.

Took 2 days to watch but it was a great video. Thanks for sharing

Everyone likes to see buddy on trail! That’ll make your day!😁 Some buddies of mine and I were camped at speck pond and up on the slope above speck pond was a barking dog that started barking around 830, after we had had a few cocktails. The three of them went hiking up the trail with headlamps yo see if they could find it but no luck. It was brutal listening to that that night. We woke ip the next morning and hiked the notch and back gor a second night and no dog so hopefully all was well. That’s one thing, besides bears at night, that terrifies me about possibly solo backpacking. You seem like alls good in the world. I prefer you use the hammock! 😃 Its hard for me to wrap my head around you with a tent, i gotta tell ya! Great watch man!

Those taped markers are called “dragon tails”. The Loyalsock has several trail races that use part or most of course. The Eastern States 100 will be using it soon.

Thanks for watching!

Its easier to find a hammock spot than a tent site and i agree, the hammock is better in the rain. Tent is better in the wind. I have a nemo tendor and had a BA AXL. The AXL was better than my bed at home. The tensor is a little stiff for me. The AXL has leak issues. I hope they resolve it so i can trust one. Good video

The LT is a great trail. Never had a bad bidet on it.

Awesome trip video!! Looks like you guys had a good time. So the bidet thing still has me intrigued, but I have no clue how to use them. Not something I want to Google per se, but if you know of a good reference I would be interested. Another question, I can't recall if you have answered before. You don't have a pack cover, so what things do you put in that outside mesh that you don't care gets wet? What about things you don't want to get wet, but still want easily accessible?

Nice trail with waterfalls! I actually like the idea of using a bidet.

I have the exact opposite question. Lol or statement. I like that u switched to a tent sometimes because as I've mentioned before I follow you closely and have gained a lot of backpacking and hammock camping knowledge from your insight/videos. One of the main reasons I use a Hammock, besides the pure comfort of course, is I'm literally scared that I won't find flat or adequate ground space each night for my tent. Do you have any suggestions on how to get over that fear, and how do you plan differently when you backpack with a tent compared to your hammock, in terms of miles and camp location planning? Great video btw. This LT is going to be my first thru hike this spring.

@FrozensAdventures

I enjoy my time out adventuring much more if I don't plan so much. All of my recent trips have turn out perfect even with little planning. I give myself an extra half day to either get out early or make up for time when I didn't hike as far as I thought. I haven't had any instances where I couldn't find a flat spot to set up in. On the flip side I have a few friends that are afraid of not finding trees the right distance apart. From this video you know my thoughts on those worries. Same applies to a tent. If you can't find a flat spot, I guarantee a mile or so down the trail you'll find something. Hope that helps!
