Red River Gorge in 4K - Bushcraft Backpacking, Hiking, and Hammock Camping in Daniel Boone NF - AdventureArchives
video description
I lead a scouting troop in my area, called Navigators USA, and my favorite thing to do is take them out with the help of a couple other cool outdoorsy people I know, and show those kids how to survive in and enjoy the wilderness. I'm thinking I'm going to show them one of your videos, just have to pick the right one! :-) I know they'll love it. Thanks for all the work you do on these videos! I know it takes a lot!

Yet another beautiful video. You guys are so cool. I just noticed that you have had your chest cracked. That-s heavy man. I feel intrusive, but I am quite curious because you are so young. Did you begin to exercise because of that? Whether or not you feel good about talking about it, you seem to be doing awesome and that is so great! My father-in-law had that scar, and he was a 50-year-old with a long dirty history of body abuse. It struck terror in my soul to see such a healthy and vibrant young man have that. Like I say kudos to you for hiking and all

So glad you went here. My buddies and I go here 5-10 times a year. There are some amazing spots. My favorite is a secluded spot on a river a mile off the rough trail, and someone used massive flat sandstone to build a sofa and chairs next to a stone fire stove. It's also perfect for rigging your hammock up over the stream. I'm not telling y'all where it is, so good hunting: ) (Came back to my comment as I watched more of the video to say you walked RIGHT past my secret campsite. You were probably 0. 5-0. 75 miles away)

Great video! I always camp off Auxier Ridge Rd, near 'pinch-em-tight'. The trail where you were looking over the cliff wondering if it was a good campsite was where a guy was attacked by a bear a few years back! A couple of suggestions. first, it's best to go in late spring or early fall. The summer is TOO dang hot and humid! Second, if you go again, try the Sheltowee Trace trail to Indian Stairway, then back down to the Red River. Look for the 'jump rock'. great place to cool off with a nice swim in the river.

I love the passion for the plants and fungi. I graduated from Hocking College's wildlife resources management program and I know I annoy my hiking pals with unsolicited plant and animal information. I live in Heath and work at the Columbus Zoo so it is really cool to see you guys doing local vids on Zaleski, Wayne and Shale Hollow. Your videos are well put together. I don't usually watch hiking vids this long but your videos are edited in such a way that makes it hard to look away. Great stuff!

13: 01 lots of my IRL friends ask why the hell I go out camping in wind rain and snow. I haven't ever been able to successfully explain why, but what he said here hits the nail on the head. Makes me feel a lot less crazy hearing other backpackers with the same attitude haha.
Also the ability to be comfortable with discomfort is like a real life superpower, and backpacking teaches it better than anything else i've ever done.

Great video. AWESOME production level. Really enjoyed it. Though the sleeping on the open ground made me nervous. The Gorge is BAD for copperheads. I couldnt do that. Got to have my Eureka or my ENO. 20: 24 Speaking of the Venomous Copperhead. BE-CAREFUL, that snake is VERY aggressive and will strike without warning. 42: 24 OMG. THIS is why I love living here. Great Video.

Guys, settlers were not -shaming- natives for eating ground nut by calling it hog peanut. It was called that because wild hogs were fond of it. Settlers ate it as much as natives. Most settlers were dirt poor Scots-Irish and we're well known for eating things from the ground. Please stop buying into the now all to common dismissal of settlers. That is the actual shaming.

I know this is an old video, but just for information's sake, I'm a local to rrg and that snake was a copperhead! Pretty common here, their characteristic is the hersey kiss pattern down their sides, and yes, they are venomous, but unlikely to kill you. Stay safe! They are virtually impossible to spot in leaf litter lol

-Interested people are interesting. - So very true. Everyone loves people who have passion. Even if it's in something they aren't passionate about. It sparks curiosity, diversity, and our love with human nature. We are all wired ever so differently but we all can connect with love. Awesome video. Can't like this enough.
