Flatbill and I go out on a planned 4 day/50 mile hike from Watauga Lake to Damascus, VA! One problem though: a historic drought and lack of water on the trail! All in all we had a great learning experience and a great overnight hike on the Appalachian Trail!

Sipsey Wilderness Backpacking Trip
มุมมอง 7K8 ปีที่แล้ว
We head out to Sipsey Wilderness in Alabama for a 3 day/2 night backpacking trip!
I did this section about the same time during the summer. South bounders said water was scarce as well which turned out to be false. So before I set out I hid water caches of 3 liters each at each of the road crossings. Turned out I didn't need the caches, but better safe than sorry I reckon.
do you know where i can find a map of the route you guys took
Wah ta ga. Not wa tu ga
Can I get your itinerary for this trip you guys did?
Cool video! What was your itinerary like?
New to the area and stayed away from Chattanooga trails because... city but, you have changed my mind. Very excited to hit this trail and more.
Where you camped at, did you need to reserve that spot or is it basically first come first serve type of deal?
Don’t camp in this spot it’s not a designated camp spot
Great views. I really enjoyed it the video. I was there in October. Beautiful area
Wow, nice! These trails are about 30-45 minutes from Chattanooga?
I did like your video. I am glad you were able to film the trip.thankyou for the video.
Haven't seen a recent post. Hope all is well.
Thanks for the the details in your video. Plan on doing this this weekend.
Are permits required?
no
Good video. I just did my first overnight trip at the same exact spot this past weekend.
You talk like Luke Bryan
The bridge shot was super cool!
Thanks for showing me around. Wife and I are heading that way next month. Camping at Foster Falls and exploring around. Thanks for a bit of a tour. really enjoyed your vid
I recently moved to Chattanooga! I am in Red Bank, and day hike Signal Mountain often.
Awesome vid! Im headed there in a few days, I'm so excited!
Weather/ trail conditions look very similar to March 2019. I posted my trip. Go to my channel to see.
A neat video, but I am a little confused. When did the they move that mountain range, especially Cheaha Mountain, from from the northern part of the State down to the wire grass area?
It's south of I-20. Central Alabama.
Interesting trip. More to see than I was expecting. Adding this to the short list.
How far is it to Falls Creek Falls from Thompson TH please? Great videos!!!
Nice adventure. Love the smokies. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video! Thinking about doing the Prentice Loop in a week and a half.
Also, what pack do you use? It seems to work well for this length of trip.
John Laudun Glad you enjoyed the video. My pack on this trip was the Osprey Aether 70
@@dustinbsn5577 love your adventures. Hope you have more soon
Thank you so much for these detailed accounts of these 3-day, 2-night hikes. They make planning so much easier.
Did yall have to hang the food or bear canister?
Lizet Cisneros I’m wondering this too
I would hang your food as there is a large population of feral hogs in the area. No bears so the canister is not needed
Pigs may be an issue but I’ve been hiking the Sipsey for 25 years and haven’t hung food once. No problem yet.
how bad are the ticks out here?
Bad!
What kitterkat said.
Dilute tea tree oil and lightly spray it on your shoes and socks and the base of your tent. if you take a dog, it's safe to spray on their feet and legs to prevent ticks from crawling up. I hike bankhead all the time and use this. I've found on average less than one tick on me per trip.
Thanks for the video. Been looking for a weekend loop this size. Looks like a great weekend.
Looks like such a fun time - always wanted to backpack! The colors of the trees and sky is so pretty! Loved hiking this trail! Check out my vlog from Fall Creek Falls and let me know what you think!
Thanks for the video. We did this loop about a year ago and the drought was still happening. The Falls were dried up. What time of year was your hike?
Hey bud! I’m also 6,4” and was curious about your jacket. I have issues finding jackets to fit my long arms. But I really wanted a mountain hardware down jacket I love the look. Could you send me a link possibly?
Chase Whitmire www.mountainhardwear.com/mens-ghost-whisperer-down-hooded-jacket-1560921.html?cgid=ghostWhisp&dwvar_1560921_variationColor=438#start=0 Check campsaver and other sites though. Got mine off campsaver around $200ish I think.
Great video! Just curious, what kind of coffee is that?
wjennin1 Local company in Chattanooga, TN on Signal Mountain store.mayflycoffee.com/item/quick-brew mayflycoffee.com
I like what you're doing with your adventure and your video. The sound from the GoPro, however, makes the video unwatchable.
Where did you guys park you vehicles overnight? Thanks in advance.
One car at Rainbow Falls Trailhead and other in Prentice Cooper State Forrest at the main trailhead. www.cumberlandtrail.org/maps-and-guides/trail-segments/tn-river-gorge/
Thanks much.
Yes the sign says no overnight parking. This site said overnight parking was allowed. www.cumberlandtrail.org/maps-and-guides/trail-segments/tn-river-gorge/signal-edwards-points-section/ We just locked the car and chanced it.
What map were you using and where did you get it? great video, thanks!
www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd495949.pdf Also this is a great reference for mileage for doing the loop: www.pinhotitrailalliance.org/trail-maps..html
I love that area. You really captured it well with the wide shots. Great video.
Evan's Backpacking Videos Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve watched a ton of your videos and enjoy them!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Dude...very artsy filming and editing!. Love it. Sawmill campsite 8 sucks...lots of widowmakers! Don't stay at Sawmill in the summer...unless you love saunas with heavy mosquitoes and the chance on no water at Schwoon! Last year i stayed at Sawmill with single digits in my warbonnet ridgerunner and was there all alone. It was eerily quite. Enjoyed, and you boys earned a sub!
2Tiedup Thanks for the heads up! Glad you enjoyed it
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Have you hiked in the Walls of Jericho? I think you would enjoy.
David Crisp Looked it up and added to the list! Thanks
Looks like a great trip. I want to get up there for a trip sometime. Man those cinnamon rolls looked really good! Thanks for the intel on site #6!
Love your videos and the places you pick to hike. Awesome! Also like the fact that y'all aren't gram weenies and maximum mileage pushers and are more focused on enjoyment of the trail and hanging with good friends.
Do you still live in Chattanooga and do you still backpack at all?
Charles Boyte Still a Chattanoogan and just finished a trip I’ll be working on posting soon
Ive been backpacking here and I live here as well. Lmk if you ever want a extra guy with yall
The video was great lots of information 2 questions did you have to permit the whole trip before you went and are the campsites first come first serve or did you reserve them ahead of time
Michael Cunningham Permit is required and you have to reserve your spot at the backcountry sites
Gadget Adventures how do you do this? Is it just here?
Great adventure! I've done a lot of hiking in GSMNP, but have yet to do true backpacking there. My son and I may try some time in the near future though. Thanks for sharing.
Think you might be interested in a Meet-N-Greet with some of the other TH-cam hiking celebs (Dixie, Darwin, Jaxx and how about Handyman?) Think Turnipseed. Oh yeah and tell Handyman careful about wearin that Mississippi stuff here in Bama country. (Roll Tide, National Champs)
OOps, I'm at bubba@bamabubba.com
Handyman, Flatbill, and myself have a trip planned the week before that we took off work for so I’ll be working when he comes through. Be cool to try and all get together at a later date
What point is that really long bridge?
great video! shows lots of features, and not too much commentary or annoying music.
Will I️ need a permit for this hike?
no
Gadget enjoyed the walk along! Glad I found your channel.
im glad you enjoyed it...working on one right now for the GSMNP! Be up soon!
