Thanks!
So great that it didn't rain and the wet areas weren't deep this go around!
You guys should try the vaseline and cotton balls. Pre make at home, lightweight, and ignite with any sparks. My plus.... a single cotton ball burns for 5 minutes. So gives you lots of time to get your fire right.
Awesome that you two are having so much fun
Your wife is awesome, she needs her own channel.
Sweet Saw. I added it to my backpacking supplies. :)
2:10 I had already been thinking “don’t go to Bear Rocks”. You go to Bear Rocks. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
It's awesome that your Mrs. likes going on the backpacking trips with you! Wish mine did. Great video, thanks for the share!
I just wish my wife would like hiking as much as your loved one. Unfortunately she just can’t give up toilet amenities for more than a few hours.

We really enjoyed this video!! Looked like a fun trip!!
That saw is pretty sweet dude..nothing worse then a ember or 74 hitting your tent...I'm digging the camp shots!!
Sweet video. Being out West, I hope to get out that way one day. Dolly Sods looks like such a cool area! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing. I've wanted to visit Dolly Sodds for years, but haven't had a chance.
Great video, love Dolly Sods. Only been once but planning to go back in October
Good video. Glad you had sunshine. Thanks for telling your actual pack weights. I always find that interesting.
Go in October. Colder but beautiful foliage!
Awesome! Ran into the Schill Brothers a couple weeks ago there and going back tomorrow

dolly sods is my favorite backpacking location, you should check out the falls down red creek off of blackbird

Look at the Outdoor Vitals tent. It is a good price, spacious, and easy set-up.
As gross as the trail conditions usually are i still love the sods. Very unique place
I was just hiking Dolly Sods last weekend! The rock at "the path to disappointment" used to be an overlook, but those spruce trees have grown tall enough that you can't see over them any more.

Interesting saw, I made my own even lighter saw with nothing but a sawsall blade with a few teeth ground off and wrapped in electrical tape as a handle, it cuts the same size log but in sacrificing the handle to save weight, my saw takes a lot of effort to use. It's one of those give/take scenarios, for example it was a great saw for a bikepacking tour, where a saw isn't really required often and weight is critical.
Gotta love sods especially when you can enjoy with the wife. Another great video

Bryce, your video editing just keeps getting better. You’re developing quite the skill. Congrats.
Missing getting out and camping 😞 Hopefully by the fall ill be able to get back out😂 sweet weather you had though!

Bryce, you might could check the warranty on the tent before you get rid of it. Idk if they will do anything about it because it’s 6 years old, but there could be something in the warranty to help.
Hey there just saw this vlog. FYI to the south is a Dolly Sods extension tract called Roaring Plains u access it via Dolly trails or parking in south half of FR 75. Theres a bushwack sections and trails camping is spectacular. Theres a special grass camp site with a stream i can give u coords for thats my fav. And the rock cliff view to south are spectacular. Cheers

Hey Bryce! Thanks for creating the content that you do. It keeps my mind on the trail even when my body isn't. My girlfriend and I have been patiently awaiting your next video because we've been thinking we'd hiked past you as you were filming. Your campsite's excellent view and seclusion (despite being nearly right off the trail) caught our eye. As we got nearer, we noticed someone was filming themselves so we quit our gawking and kept moving. Didn't want to interrupt! At some point (either before or after our trip, I can't remember) I'd watched your pre-trip gear video, and because you mentioned having a better time than the last, I suspected your next video might be Dolly Sods. At this point, my gears are turning and I mentioned it to my girlfriend. Since then, we'd patiently awaited your next video to see if we were right! Needless to say, we were pretty excited when we loaded up KZread and saw your latest video was in Dolly Sods. When we hit about minute 17:02 in the video we both looked at each other with big grins because we'd made a note of remembering what you were talking about as we passed by - processing your firewood! I'm glad to see you two had an excellent experience. You were spot on; the weather was beautiful that weekend. We ended up staying at a site near the junction of TR509 and 511 (Upper Red Creek and Blackbird Knob trails) that had a great view of the night sky and had a blast! Anyways, sorry for the long message. We've been getting a kick out of this little story and thought you might too! Great video, as always. Thank you, again, for the information you share and
Nice trip.

You guys were there the weekend before my first trip there. We camped at the site in the pines where you crossed the stream before Blackbird Knob. I def fell in love with hiking there, such a unique challenge mentally. I hope one day to take my wife there like you guys have been able to do!!

What a great outing! My wife will hike with me, but not camp... Just a quick question-what is that pouch you're using to hold your phone on your shoulder strap? I recently upgraded my phone and it's huge, so I'm having a hard time finding something that will hold it safely. Thanks for the great videos!

I see the specs of the The North Face Flint 2 are 87 x 54 inch floor by 41 inch peak height. Do you want to stay the same size, slightly larger, or slightly smaller? Some options off the top of my head with 50 inch floor widths: Nemo Dagger 2, MSR Hubba Hubba NX, TarpTent Double Rainbow, Mountain Hardwear Aspect 2
