Never Too Old
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 23 ต.ค. 2022
My name is Rob Mattice. Some call me Duane. My trail name is Mad Dawg. Don't ask me why. I don't know. I am almost 2 years into this TH-cam journey. My subscription base is slowly growing. Which I appreciate very much. My views are growing steadily. My goal of this channel is. To show your NEVER TOO OLD for a adventure. No matter how big or small it may be. My main content is day hiking. With some backpacking thrown in. Some car camping. Even more fishing. Some kayaking at some point. Metal detecting if given the chance. Some exploring around. And who knows what else I might get myself into. I hope to have you join me along the way. We will see you out on the trail.
Metal Detecting in Grant Michigan. A unique find!
Back in Grant Michigan. Detecting a skate park, a ball field and along a old wood line. Did I find a foreign coin? Or something even better!

Hiking on the NCT. Harvey Bridge to 12 and 15 mile roads. Mesick MI. This was a out and back hike. 2.9 miles each way. It was a great hike along the Manistee River. Plenty of views and ups and downs. Also a nice bonus stretch along a stream.

Detecting at the Pickle ball courts. The park downtown and the skate park. I had issues with my go pro freezing. So I lost some footage. My apologies.
What would you like from me?

Took a quick late afternoon hike. Loda Lake is a very nice place to hike. There is a connector trail that takes you to the NCT. Or the Birch Grove trail.

Nice loop hike in Luther Michigan. The Silver Creek Pathway is kind of a shorter version . Of the Manistee River Loop

The Northern Lights. Mother Nature's Light Show. Grant Michigan
มุมมอง 77หลายเดือนก่อน
On 10-10-2024. I witnessed the most fantastic light show. I have ever seen. I went out to the muck fields about 8 pm. Very little light pollution. They were out out but very faint. Could not pick up the colors. With the naked eye. That all changed from 10 pm to 10:20 pm. That's when it all popped. Hope you enjoy.
Fishing the Muskegon River. Newaygo Michigan

Once again I am fishing the Muskegon River. Near downtown Newaygo. Was stopped by the DNR. Just a routine stop. I was the only person fishing the area. Very nice DNR officer. #Never Too Old
Fishing some creeks from my childhood. (drainage ditches)

It's been 30 plus years since I fished these creeks. Brought back some good memories.
My first Metal detecting video. Newaygo Michigan . My oldest find ever.

My first attempt at doing a metal detecting video. Video quality is not the best. Not used to the go pro head mount. I did find a 1964 silver Washington quarter. And my oldest find yet. A 1883 Indian Head penny.

You should try Blanche lake next
@@sandy11556 Yeah I have detected around where the old swimming dock was. And around the ball field. Did find a Rosie by the ball field. Lots of trash in the ground
Nice finds...😊
Cool find.
That was pretty fun to watch. Looks like a relaxing way to get outside.
@@toddkozakiewicz8770 Thanks
You are right. That was a beautiful section of trail. I'm envious. Loved all the little streams, yet no where on the maps does it indicate for the thru hiker, there are plenty of water sources, like they do on the AT. Thanks for sharing. Did you see any stealth campsites?
@@midlifetravelers6151 I seen one. Part of that section goes through private property. So that's why there really wasn't any.
Yes, take us ice fishing this winter...
If we get good ice this year. Last year I never made it out. Only had good ice for about a week and a half.
Such a beautiful presentation my friend! Trail looks amazing
It is a nice section of trail
Thanks, Bob. I think I'll check that one out when it's 70°...
I used to hunt that area 40 years ago. Happy hunting and good luck 🍀👍👍
Thanks
😊😊
Glad you were able to get in a session before the snow!
Thanks. I will have
Thanks I have a hiking vid and 2 more Detecting vids from this week. Just have to work on them @@RobertMattice-s4i
I enjoy the trail hikes and fishing videos
Thanks
Maybe hit a few campgrounds if yo can. Lots of bottle tops, but you may find some goodies.
Yeah alot of the big state campgrounds don't allow it. The Newaygo county ones won't let you in without a day pass or sticker.
@RobertMattice-s4i Ya, things have changed. I went to Minnie Pond on my trip up this year. Nothing like it was when I was young.
Thanks for bringing us along...
😊
It may be cool to canoe the Muskegon River to show the beauty.
@@ronjohnson9032 Yeah I have been thinking Davis bridge to Newaygo. Or Croton to Muskegon. Next summer with my kayak.
😊
😊
😊
Rob, I enjoy your content. Do you like to do gear reviews? That might be something. I like that you have a variety of subjects you pursue .Do you winter camp? I just bought a danchel stove I have yet to winter camp with. The ice fishing vids sound like they will be fun to watch.
I have never done a gear review. At least not yet. I wouldn't mind winter camping. If I had a hot tent and stove. Just hoping to get some safe ice this year
Great video! I ran into a huge bear last spring on the east side in the woods. It was so big, I thought it was a tent! lol I yelled Hey Bear! And waved my trekking poles over my head and it exited stage left 😁
@@buffyvachon8026 Haven't seen one there yet. But I have seen plenty of signs
Just subscribed to your channel
Your video was truly beautiful and inspiring. As a fellow creator, I appreciate the effort you put into it. Sub and 👍11

Wind against that drag.

I watched it again, and appreciate that much more, as I remember and recognize now your hike.You know what? I saw a lone deer in this area too. It's white tail was so long.
Thanks for sharing this! What a cool area! Definitely need to get back up north! Looks like an awesome hidden gem!
@@tridudyonthetrail one of my favorite short loops.
😊
enjoyed watching the detecting!
@@BasicMetalDetecting Thanks
😊
Get an old dish towel to put dirt on, when you retrieve your target, it is much easier to put all dirt back in the hole. Take it from someone who has been detecting since 1960....... Me.
@@aliasfred yeah I usually have a piece of tyvec but it wore out. Just have to replace it.
Background music too LOUD can hardly hear you.
@@aliasfred yeah I was trying to drowned out the heavy breathing because I was sick. Will make sure it's down next time.

I remember when Loda Lake birdwatchers were complaining about hunters being there. Hunters pay to play, and birdwatchers don't.

Thanks for taking us...
Phenomenal color splotches. Beautiful trail. Another idea for growing your channel is to offer giveaways. Even if it's a new headlamp or fishing lures....etc.
@@midlifetravelers6151 Thanks
Yeah that's something I thought about doing this winter.
😊

Nice!! I may have to make this a winter destination. I haven’t run across this trail before, but it looks like a good one! Thanks for sharing!
I just picked up some earth grounding shoes. We shall see how they work on the trails here on the Chickamauga Battlefield. Did you ever figure out the backpack stove that I dropped off to you a few years ago?
😊
😊
Hey brother grew up in Newaygo and now living in Atlanta. Enjoy all of your videos of home.
Thanks
