I loved the video, thanks so much for all the hard work producing it. I felt as if I were there on the camping trip with you all. I highly doubt that stream is fished out, just because a few hours spent fishing ends with zero fish caught doesn't mean the stream is fished out. More often than not, the trout are in super shallow water 3 or 4 inches deep and are virtually invisible to the eye, and not in the deep pools. Fly rod would be my last choice, I would have a small light rod & reel with 4 pound test line, small hook, and small live worms, letting the bait float down the shallows along the banks where there's weeds outcroppings. Many people mistakenly assume trout are in the deep pools and are visible, they're almost impossible to see unless they are on the move to another spot. Also, these brook trout move up into even smaller brooks that feed the stream you were fishing, tiny little brooks that people would never think they could catch a 7 inch fish from. As for catch and release, I never understood the point of that, to torture an animal and sometimes cause death or permanent damage then throw him back, makes no sense. Catch and eat is the only thing that makes sense to me
The double ended bag is a great idea. Much better than struggling with the snakeskin cover. Thanks guys!
A simple backpacking trail in Southwestern Ohio is at East Fork State Park. You can camp anywhere, but you can only build fires at their 5 designated areas.

Don't show this! Nah it sucks
I just got a new hammock and it has Pack Hooks. I honestly had no idea what they were for and I was even going to email the manufacturer to ask. Thank you for that little detail!
No product links?
No bear can, and brought bear spray... Did you even obtain a permit? The Rangers go over both of these facts EVERYTIME I've ever obtained a Yosemite permit.
So on everyone’s favourite topic - the peeing )) there are contraptions for women to do similar action )) pstyle for one, open channel and would need practice but still. There are close channel options too, ladies, you gonna be fine 👌
“Dave Ramsey would be proud” 😂👏🏼
1 liter ice tea bottle should help with that 'take a leak' moment
Why does " patty" have white feet? Go wall around in the bush for 1 day with your bare feet and see how white they are!!! This creature lives there and has white soles of her feet apparently.
I'm old school. When I was camping in the early 70s, we survived on nothing but normal stuff we found at the grocer. Cheese, crackers, oatmeal, Tang, hot chocolate, salami, potatoes, powdered milk, bread, honey, powdered eggs and pork n beans. I think the one food I wish was still made was Durkees made powdered eggs that were so so good. When rehydrated they were just like regular scrambled eggs. I can remember camping in California when almost every breakfast was oatmeal or those eggs which were epic when we added a dehydrated bacon to them.
Was always hoping to see more of this trip My mom and I used to watch them together
A bit late, but im getting into backpacking and im in columbus. Was really struggling to find good sources and now im all set! Thanks man
Love to see a review of HammockGear’s hammock.
Dr. Meldrum - you hit GOLD!!
Just watched this video after a mention of "widowmakers" while hiking. Never heard that term applied to this situation, and I'm 65 years old! I don't hike or camp, but this is valuable info. ONE simple suggestion, though, if you ever update this video or its description: What you're calling a "branch" is more likely a tree LIMB. When most people hear the word "branch" they think of the size that falls on your lawn that the kids play with. Please say "trees and tree limbs", and also it would be helpful to give some typical circumference measurements and weights! ❤ Another great addition here would be a video with sound that demonstrates how heavy and dangerous and loud they really can be. Most people don't have a clue!
TWA-LA-ME
Bear Spray vs Firearm effectiveness: its not as clear cut as many believe. 1. Studies that are unbiased are to find. 2. Often the bears are not seperated by type. Black, Brown and Polar are very different in approach, size and behavior. 3. The firearms are not seperated by type and or caliber. 9mm vs 44mag vs 4570 will have vastly different degrees of effectiveness.
Love mine.
Old video, so you'll probably never see this. I have an old Blackbird (pre xlc). I still love it. Weight isn't an issue for me because i only car, canoe or kayak camp. But I've never had a better nights sleep than in my hammock. It's nice to see that other companies are making proper camping hammocks. Most people i know buy an Eno or something similar and never know what a truly good camping hammock feels like. Great info, fellas.
Love the video, the scenery, camp tour. What’s with the bear spray?
Where are you guys?
How about iodine tablets for your water !!
If you stay Aug 11 you get the perseid meteor showers!!
What does happy hour consist of ? We liked vodka shots😂
How about packing up to yosemite falls for one night then to yosemite creek then on to 10 lakes. Grant lake is 1st one then back to yosemite creek. Its tough but awesome, up to 11000 something ft.😊
This is such an important point. Occasional hikers and campers are ignorant of this danger. I personally know families whose lives have been decimated from this. They have never been the same.
As the proud owner of a baby carrot, I will not be peeing in a bottle unfortunately
Lol no Making mashed potatoes at home is way cheaper don't lie. 2 dollars gets you over 5lbs of potatoes. And mashed potatoes are easy to make.
I dont know if anyone else likes this. but I absolutley love GV frosted wheats that I dip in Jiff Penut butter. I get a 24 oz box of frosted wheats and a 40 oz jar of Jiff for under $10.00, and its like 8800 calories. Always feels like Im eating something substantial with a satisfying crunch, lots of fiber, filling penut butter, and sweet frosting. I live this much better than any bars. I also bring nutella for a change up, or a combo...lol.
The fish mercury problem is a myth. The chemical that purges mercury from the body is found in the most concentration in fish. There is more than there is mercury.
I appreciate this. I would love to watch step-by-step videos to learn how to hammock camp. I know nothing about it, but I would love to know what to buy and get started. Awesome video by the way! Thank you. Keep them coming!
Too desperate for likes. Unliked
I take a Eno under belly hammock that slings under your hammock and that is where I put my backpack and gear in. You can easily reach the gear from inside your hammock.
14:23. Why buy these? You have to make a security knot so the line dont slip. Why cant you simply tie the line ?
Man I’ve been hammock camping for over 10 years now. I’m fat and old and I sure as hell don’t have a problem getting out of the hammock to take a slash. Never had to put anything under my knees. Are you guys getting the hang angle right?
Even though we play this ultimately self destructive game of suicide monopoly, Time is our real Currency, Health is our real Wealth..Every human civilization to EVER exist, has been a losing race, to discover remedies, for the predicaments that they produce..We're fixing to lose that race again over the next few decades, there is no discovering remedies for nuclear war, mass extinction and an environment changing thousands of times faster than it's inhabitants can adapt.
I piss laying down all the the, when I'm blacked out drunk, and I don't get it you can't wake up to piss. You can get out to set your tarp, if it starts raining?
Looking to do some backpacking soon. Most people warn not to filter in So Ohio. What has your experience been? We are in Chillicothe, prob hitting Vesuvius first.
I typically camp on ground that has more rocks than dirt, here in AZ. the sheperds hooks that came with my tent are such garbage. it's almost impossible to get them into the ground without bending them. planning to try the titanium nails, I think they should work well
What's the point of the blindfold if he's guessing the name of rhe chairs, that's dumb
sorry, who? wtf are you trying to say bro? frozen is an adjective
Miss you guys have you bought the new. Camelion quilted yet?
Giant Eagle? Where yinz guys from? :) Thanks for the tips!
Fellow Ohioan (CLE) and I’m trying to cut my teeth on backpacking beyond scout camping. Mohican seems cool. Anywhere else?
I really like the Onewind gear hammock; I use it for breaks during the day then as a storage shelf under my hammock at night
I'm 6'2" and have the hornet 1p. Love it!
Ok, soooo. About the pee bottle. I work in a hospital and have to use “urinals” often (for patients, not me). Just know that the cap will pop off with very little pressure. If you do use one, set it outside the hammock, and not beside you in the hammock. 👍🏻
It was just a bad day at the office Iv fished that river since my dad took me 6 years old been 57 years ago there in there guys you no fishing some days don't get any better some days couldn't buy a bit that's why you got to keep fishing away beats working any day great film .
