Camping inside an Abandoned Fire Tower in the Appalachian Mountains!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.พ. 2025
- In this video, I take you on a night hike deep into the Appalachian Mountains, navigating through darkness and uncertainty, as I set out to stealth camp in an abandoned fire tower that sways and creaks in the wind. The journey is filled with the eerie sounds of the wilderness-rattlesnakes lurking in the shadows and the unknown pushing me outside my comfort zone.
As I hike, I'll open up about the stress and challenges I've been facing recently, using this experience to face my fears and build more confidence in myself. The towering fire lookout, though abandoned and weathered, becomes the perfect backdrop for self-reflection and quiet contemplation as I seek to find peace in the midst of chaos.
Join me as I explore the power of solitude, nature, and mental resilience. Will the fire tower hold strong through the night? Can I overcome the anxiety and pressure that's been building in my life? Watch to find out.

"I'm not afraid of heights...im afraid of falling." Absolutely
It's not the fall that will kill you... it's the sudden stop at the end... so don't be afraid of falling, be afraid of stopping real fast.
I don't mind falling.....it's the sudden stop
People don't sleep. They just shut their eyes.
You should try everything that makes you afraid in this life because it is like an adventure worth trying. I think it will be a strange feeling at first until you try it after that and the feeling will be very enjoyable.❤😊
Anyone afraid of falling is smart in my book. 😁👍
Coming from tiny Denmark it's so crazy to me that you live in such a MASSIVE country where almost every, single state is bigger than my country. Abandoned buildings, vehicles and even whole towns. So fascinating. That would never happen in Denmark, we're just too small 😄 Visited the US back in '07 where I traveled a total of 17.000 miles by car through 25 something states and met so many, different, wonderful people. Best time of my life. I'll never forget it. Fortunate to have been able to do it.
By the way, watched the whole thing - and it was great. Really enjoyed it. You should do more of this type of content. Making the dark less scary and showing the beauty in nature after sunset. It has potential.
Im having hard time believing that since even we in Finland have some of that. I mean abondoned houses cars.. Well don't know about towns unless you count one close to me that was restorated as tourist attraction. Have an Island with abondoned mental hospital though and im sure theres atleast few places like that in denmark if you wanted some dark camping.
@@aphapppaa okay okay okay but I was just trying to get a point across....Denmark is crazy small and the US is friggin BIG
@@aphapppaa he’s trying to explain mostly how most European countries are smaller than most of the states let alone or entire country. We have so much more to explore than a tiny country like Denmark. 😂
@@aphapppaa Finland is a LOT bigger than Denmark, it's almost as big as the entire eastern seaboard of the USA.
It's funny how you find videos like this when life gets hard. Just on random chance you click and everything you feel is perfectly put into words. I hope you all find that inner peace out there in the coming hardships we may face moving forward. Know that even when you feel alone you are not there is always someone who cares and who understands. This too will pass and the green pastures are just over the hill. Wherever you are whoever you are, You are wanted, You are loved, And you can make it through this.
Funny I found his channel a few years back it wasn’t a great time for me either but just something about his videos just helps and he has nice calming voice which helps a lot
@@AR20231 Yeah. I feel that sense of making peace with what life throws at you from these videos. And it makes things a little easier.
Awesome words, thanks
Shame it's followed by a cringe Oracle comment
@@turbomunch I hope whatever caused you to feel the need to make a comment like this. Get's resolved soon. Namaste friend.
I was born in 1960, my friend. To this day I never take for granted having lived in the best decade ever. I wish all the young people today could experience what I did in my childhood. It was so pure and clean and full of wonder.
Born in 1963 myself and I agree
Me to it was not like today's world,my first encounter was in 76 I believe.
I was born in 1964
The '70s is my favorite decade. Although the '60s when I was just a little boy everything seemed magical. I've watched this country go downhill. From the late 1980s until now things are dismal. I don't want to bring politics into this but I think things are going to get better. Hopefully. People need to take pride in our country. I know TH-cam is international so of course I'm talking about the United States of America.
Yeah blatant racism, race riots, the civil Rights movement, the Vietnam war, the gas shortages. The Jim Crow south. Yeah it was a great time to be alive
Tell us, what was it like? Fields, climbing trees? Fields of grass and grasshoppers, propane tanks, swimming all day, penny candy, 2 for one cent candy? Candy cigarettes, mini wax bottles filled with sweetened juice, coin machine - pull knob machines, glass Coca Cola pop bottle dispensers?
That's so sad. I love firetowers. And to see them like this. Breaks my heart. I don't know why we ever let them go. There's something magical about them.
That was an amazing adventure! The way you stop and take shots of the smallest things like flowers really sets your content off from the others. The sunrise/sunset photos were beautiful!
I'm glad to hear you are doing better after all those personal battles. They definitely make you look at things differently. Hope this reset has helped you regain some of that balance.
Wishing you safe travels my friend!

@@JCK12593 not even a “thank you” 💔
There's suckers everywhere lol
I'm 20 years old, and 5 months off opioids and other substances! Stumbling across your channel has really inspired a healthy yet challenging mindset. Just want to say how much I appreciate your videos, and your driven personality for growth. Keep going, man!
Congratulations, I'm glad my videos have helped you, keep up the good work
That is a rough journey you are on but I believe you are going to be successful because of your attitude. Stay strong and enjoy your journey to reset your mind, heart and soul.
I promise you, the beauty of the natural world is greater and more fulfilling than any substance. Stay strong.
good job my man
Congratulations on your sobriety my friend! I can’t personally relate but it’s still a huge thing to celebrate
Haven't you ever watched "wrong turn" when they get stuck in the watchtower and the inbred family of psychos are hunting them down 😂
First thing I thought of
No, but I'm glad I didn't watch it before coming here 😅😂
I thought of the same thing 😂
And i thought i was crazy camping by your self This video was great And yes you can do more camping I had to give the hiking up do too age and health reasons But at times when i get the chance to go camping for a few days i love it I get so relaxed i hate to go home When you did the video of the penna turn pike in Bedford Co I live about 50 miles on top of the mountain I moved 25 miles higher Three years ago I'm glad you went out and got to relax and enjoy your time in the woods I'll remember you in my thoughts and prayers LIFE's good
Fireman 🔥🔥🔥👍
My thoughts exactly😂
From a hospital bed I say: Beautiful experience, thank you and I Love you for being...real❤
I wish you all the best! Stay strong and get back to health!
Hope you’re doing well, stay strong!
I feel this… TH-cam got me through chemo and constant month long trips to the ER during Covid.
I spent 8 years as a fire spotter in a 100 foot high tower. No stairs, only ladders.
Thank you for your service to the land! Ladders would be sketchy 😅
You ever see anything you cannot explain out there.....
@Luke_the_legendary_hunter only a 12 foot long goanna. Was never there overnight
@@TheAussieRepairGuyhave you ever been a Stone Protector?
@@Acanofalconpunch I'm not even sure what that is...
Great Video. I haven't hiked or camped in the past 5 years due to health issues from my time in Iraq. Your videos bring back good memories. Thank You.
I am from the seventies and I too remember a wonderful time without tech. like many from this time when the sun came up you went out and when it set you came home, and in between you had many adventures and learnt many life lessons that helped you through life. Thank you for all your awesome videos and I hope many more to come.
I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis of lyme disease. And your ankle . I am glad you are feeling better now. I wish you could good health . ❤
8:23 yeah absolutely love that comment you made and it made so much sense. These buildings were made back when people had an idea of what America would be. That was beautiful man
Just found your channel mate, BRILLIANT, no cheese music, just you talking, and explaining the situation, THANKS AGAIN, WILL AND ELAINE,LEEDS, WEST YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND.
What a beautiful video. You must put your safety first!!! Yes more camping videos😊. Thank you❤
Omg, i must be dreaming! So, I love camping and I binge on all types of content ab it (especially true/scary stories); I love fire towers and the idea of working or staying in one; I'm very into Appalachia and its lore, watch everything I find ab it here; I obviously love everything abandoned, and needless to say I love all your content and have been subscribed for years now. Now you can understand how the title of this video flipped all my switches and it feels like the 1st xmas present of the season. ❤️✨🎉
Great video man! What a crazy life journey and great philosophical talk about resetting your mind. I watched the video in entirety. You’re a good guy. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice vid. As a Harrisburg area native I know this tower and have hiked up to it many times. Nice to see you check out and share some of the locations. Only beef I have was around 4:20 with the comment that PA doesn't have good food and the best food is at gas stations. Where you were in Harrisburg, there are dozens of great places to eat. You were blocks away from Millworks, Broad Stret Market, Sturges, Cafe Fresco, and a ton of other great eats. Give em a try next time. Sorry to hear of your struggles, lyme disease is no joke. It's good to see you didn't let this stop you and are out on the trails still. Again, nice to see you enjoy the area and I was amazed when I clicked on the vid to see where you were. Be aware, you are in game lands and are sharing it with hunters. I recommend wearing blaze in most of PA while hiking, especially in the Fall or Winter. Keep enjoying your hikes, camping and life. Be well!
I love watching your videos dude. Not only the beautiful gems of nature, but your words of wisdom in almost every video. The way you recognize everything that gets overlooked…. and encourage people to enjoy the life beyond technology.
I'm so sorry for the trouble life has thrown at you lately. I have learned that if you are still too long, you become a bigger target but it is much harder for life to hit you when you are moving. I have watched your channel for a long time. I love all the abandoned situations you explore. This adventure is different with the camping included and I like it very much. Looking forward to more. Take care.
Yes, please do more camping videos. I enjoyed this one so much I actually watched it twice! …I wish you good healing. I saw someone comment that the meat allergy may require separate treatment, so I’m just mentioning it again to put it on your radar. …good adventures to you! Thanks for the video!
I’ve been watching your channel for a couple months now. I have to say, this was my favorite so far. I enjoy all your content, but this was exceptional.
Thank you Devin! Love your videos! The personal touch and explanations are always enjoyable. Your abandoned homes & neighborhoods are what hooked me to your channel so long ago. Hope your health continues to improve. Best wishes!
Oh, also, I am sorry you went through so much recently! I hope you are fully recovered from the tick bite, the scare of the storm you got caught in, as well as the “almost” car jacking. Maybe you’re turning a corner as this trip seemed like it was enjoyed by you. Stay safe out there!
Just discovered your channel and really enjoyed this adventure. So interesting that a young man your age is avoiding technology in favor of exploring nature whenever possible.
Sorry to hear of your health issues and other trauma. Lyme disease is very, very serious and you were lucky to have a quick diagnosis and treatment. I hope you continue to have quality medical care. I know nothing about you, your background, your family, etc.
I wish you the very best and I will continue to watch your videos. I am an old lady, have not been camping for years, and would never, ever have camped or backpacked alone! I live in Northern California, Bigfoot country, but it’s the 2-footed visitors to the forest who are the most dangerous. 😱
Pennsylvanian here - if you want a good sandwich or hoagie, you're gonna need to hit a Wawa. Sheetz is good for their fried/snack food, Wawa for their pretzels, deli, and drinks.
Love love love your videos! ❤❤❤❤ sorry about all the problems you had. We re all here for ya!! 😊😊😊
Absolutely loved this....I totally get the reset thing......enjoyed seeing the city and then the woodlands.....my legs turned to jelly at the views from the tower lol! Thanks for sharing 😊
This is gonna sound crazy, but if you see a bonfire in the distance and some guys shrouded in black and white robes with masked hoods, make sure you turn off the flash when you take the picture.
This was the the best Dark exploration I have seen yet!❤ I figured you where unwell a few months ago but wasn't sure what was going on with you. Thank you for sharing. I hope you start healing fast. Keep up the amazing work Devon🎉😊
That may be one of my favorite videos of yours. I love the combination of exploration and camping/hiking. It’s a great way to immerse yourself in the surroundings. So glad you’re feeling better! And nice of you to shout out Adventure Archives, they’re great!
Thank you for taking us with you on your overnight stay in this old abandoned fire tower. You have a rawness about you that is different from other TH-cam creators that make content like this. This video randomly came on in my algorithm and I watched the whole thing. Glad to know there are people like you out there.
Another one of my favorite videos of yours. You're killing it lately. I love the scary night time vibes followed by the peace and tranquility of the next morning. Also holy crap, that is one bright flashlight.
Yeah, can we please get a brand or link?
Absolutely a gorgeous trip. You inspired me to overcome my fear of heights again. I was able to climb a fire watching tower with external ladders only, but now I'm very cowardish because of unrelated health issues. Have to go through the entire trip again.
Exceptional video. Well done. 💪🏻🤘🏻
Oh man! This is a mystic travel of the mind. Love it! I watched your video sticked by magnetic passion. Thanks for your words.
As a PA girly who grew up in those mountains it is so cool to see people who have the same appreciation for the true beauty of Pennsylvania! Just discovered your channel and look forward to playing catch up on your videos !
Love my home state
Its easy to sit back and assume someone with half a million subscribers has it made. But it was bery humbling to hear about the struggles youre battling in your life. This is the first video of yours that i have watched, but wont be the last. It was interesting, well paced and you seem like a genuine man. Best wishes to you.
So cool - great video! Love the views and photography! You are very brave! Glad you made it safely through the night. Wishing you all healing vibes. Just love all the sounds of the birds singing - so beautiful.
Hi Devin .. what a wonderful video and hike I really enjoyed it thank you. I am one of your subscribers who is also disabled as I can not walk as much anymore I am power chair bound as I have a condition where my legs, ankles and feet swell and it hurts to stand as I cant for long now. Watching you in your videos inspire me to cope and just accept that I cant do what I used to do so I watch people like yourself to make me happy as you do these treks and explores for me and the others who are not abled too. God bless you and I truly hope your health gets better. You are a sweet lovely young man and I will continue to watch your videos as they really do make me happy indeed. God bless and take care Devin xx
Thanks for another great adventure!!
The road leading to the Trail is like the opening of a horror movie 🍿 🎥!!!
I love this video man! I grew up as an outdoorsman and all throughout my childhood I was always camping, hiking, riding four wheelers, fishing, you name it. The mountains are where I feel most at home. I'm currently trying to get back to living how I did back then and I've been watching a lot of videos like this online to help motivate me to do that. I do still live in the country but unfortunately I live in a RV park now and I'm far away from most of my family. It is my goal to buy land of my own one day so that I can more easily enjoy the outdoors on my own property. And hopefully be closer to all my family and to be reunited with them again. Thank you for the video man. Those are some truly amazing views and its what life is all about.
Your pics are gorgeous- especially your night pics. 👍👍👍
I’m glad I found this channel, I love architecture and history so it was really cool to see those buildings, especially the police station!
I can relate to your experience being caught in a bad storm.
In 2010 I was walking through the woods while hunting when the weather changed rapidly.
Winds were blowing around 90km/h to 100 km/h (55mph to 62mph)
Massive trees were being blown down around me and my gps stopped working correctly.
Luckily I had a radio to contact the group I was hunting with and they were able to help me find my way out.
Glad you’re doing better, and thanks for sharing your adventures for us to see!
💯 Stunning views ! Thank You for sharing this with us . Sending you Much Happiness,Love and, Light,Healing Energy and Prayers ❤ 🙏🏽 from Miami Beach Fl.
Really sorry to hear about all of the bad stuff that has been happening in your life lately. I hope you are doing and feeling better now! If not then very soon. Take care of yourself, Devin.
They should make a horror video game like this where you stayed inside the tower and weird things happen in the forest during the night
I really enjoyed this video exploration. You seem like a really kind and down to earth guy, a rare young person with an old soul (I mean this as a compliment). I'm sorry you went through a rough patch and I'm glad you are feeling better. Be safe out there.
Please be careful Devon. That story about that man cornering you in your car scared me. You used to go with Josh to a lot of places you explored. Maybe he could come with you still? I know you don’t know me but I’m so proud of you for taking that hike and being in that tower! Such bravery! Always listen to your body when it tells you to rest and hydrate. - Laura from New York
I have watched since the early days with Josh and some of the other urbex channels too😊
He has really come a long way ✨
Honest opinion here - I enjoy watching your abandoned content so I wasn’t interested in watching this video. I put it off for a while, until today. I’m glad I watched it! This video was great! It was relatable, interesting and all around, just nice. It was relaxing, pleasant and almost like a pallet cleanser from all the crap happening around us. You took me to the woods (my happy place) without me leaving my bed. I’d definitely watch more of your videos like this. Thanks for the content & stay safe out there.
I'm one of those people that can't experience what you do ,I've had a stroke and I love the different places you go and hear your passion in every video ,keep up the great work
Thanks so much for taking your time to taking us on your reset journey. I have always loved your videos and this one was just fantastic. God bless you and please continue sharing and naratting like you do with so much respect and art.
This was your BEST exploration! So intense. Like a scarry movie. Your narrative and video kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Your cinematography had me feeling like I was right there with you! Great job!!
I try and showcase the feeling of these places, both historical, dark and ethereal with the decay. Thanks for the comment!
Your words about tech really hit home, my kids are your age and I'm glad they were also born before tech took over.I really enjoy your videos and thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for disclosing your struggles, I can really relate and take a leaf out of you book
Wow Devin, Amazingly done! Love the more personal side and keep camping! Love it! Thanks for taking us along on that beautiful journey! ❤
I just happened to find your channel in my recommendations, and after watching this video I can safely say that I understand exactly what you mean when you say that you need to get out into nature to escape from technology. I've been hiking and camping for the last 7 years or so, and there's really nothing like getting out in nature and just...forgetting everything else. Just you, the wind, and the scenery. It's something that everyone should do, especially for the sake of your own mental well-being.
Definitely earned a subscriber with this one.
So sorry to hear you haven’t been well. I hope after this camp you feel a bit better. I understand and get a lot of what you’re saying. Am from the uk and love seeing parts of the us a tourist would never see. Oh, I also loved this video. ❤️👍
What a wonderful video...I don't know that I would have spent in the night with all that rocking. You do a wonderful job. I am sorry for your rough summer and hope that things improve for you in the future. Take care!
Hahaha, You had me until you looked over the edge of the rail, that got my belly to flopping, lol. You are so right about technology and I am so blessed to have been born in the 1960's . Now in my 60's I know just enough about technology to get by in today's world. If I can't be outdoors in the woods, by the river, on a mountain trail I would slowly shrivel inside. You're braver than me I must say, I couldn't have stayed up there but I thank you for camping in the tower, it was a beautiful sunrise and yes the views are phenominal. (spelling I know, oops.) Keep doing you and loving/living life. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us all.
Thank you so much. You have the soul of a poet. I appreciate this. ❤
I like the combination of exploration and camping. It adds an interesting dimension. Most of your videos…it just walking through the space, which is good…I also like how you stop and point out details. Seems to set you apart.
These videos of staying overnight in a abandoned building i could never do it alone that takes some balls and serious confidence
Maybe they should be scared of you. Don't ever be scared. Stay focused.
@tyarnold4088 that's easier said than done I will never adventure alone more fun with friends anyways
@kyky121911 if you're a man you're probably OK. But I agree that women need to be careful. Predators target them.
Yep, Steve and his chill manner insiped me as well to try camping this year. Been at it a few times and i am already hooked. Looking forward to refine my gear and have fun adventures.
I just found you with this video. You are a breath of fresh air. Everything you said about AI. Is happening. And it’s not the kids fault. It’s the parents. But that’s another story for another day. Thank you young man. Such a breath of fresh air you are. Many blessings to you.
wow why do i get so nostalgic from the morning views from the tower wooow. i cant explain it , its like ive been there before i can feel the rail and the bitter cold and smell the smell in the air wow
Awesome video. First the buildings and places on the way to the fire tower. Then the walk to the tower and the night there, and your personal stories that you told us. This video is really great and different (in a positive way) to other exploration and camping videos. Thanks a lot for sharing such adventures.
People who were raised in the media age seem to accept that if it is on the web, it's not to be questioned and either are lazy or blindly accept it as reality.
We must always question everything, so we know the truth and learn more. Nice video, I enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing your story. I quit urban exploring because I got threatened by a homeless guy with a needle 😅 but thank you you are being brave I hope you feel better. Things are always changing ❤
When it rains it pours. So sorry for that barrage of stuff that happened to you, especially the Lyme disease. Love your videos! Hang in there guy. I know you will.
You are a wonderful narrater. I enjoyed this video so much. Thank you!
I enjoyed the hike and talk. You are so right about resetting your mind. I am 72 and used to enjoy the woods and hikes. Thank you for taking me along for new sights to see.
The same cycle talk you went over, man that is so relatable. Out of all the urbex people I watch you really do seem one of the most relatable. I will say that you just gotta keep pushing forward, even if it's slow. Small progress is better than no progress and ofc don't be scared to ever reach out to people, you seem like a really chill and cool person. Love your videos too!
I needed to see this right now. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
My boyfriend of 5 years has recently been diagnosed with throat cancer. Trying my best to keep everything together for both of us without losing it.
Seeing all you've overcome gives me hope that things are going to be okay.
We wish your boyfriend a speedy recovery.
With God's help.🙏😘💐
Look to the Lord, He makes our paths straight.
I enjoyed your video. This is the stuff that I enjoy seeing. Like many, I’m living vicariously through you, for now. Thank you again!!
Dude, you killed it. Keep it up 😊 these camping videos are great!
Thank you very much for this special journey you went on. It means alot for all of us that remember places like this and sad though to hear the true fate of it's demise. Stay strong and keep up the great work.
The red meat allergy (alpha-gal syndrome) is a whole other thing separate from lyme disease, but is also tick-borne so it's possible though somewhat unlikely that you contracted both at the same time. Consider seeing a rheumatologist if you haven't already, regarding joint health and related issues potentially resultant from lyme. Otherwise just do what your doctors tell you to do and don't overdo it when you start to feel fatigued. The severity and variety of symptoms you experience with lyme and how long you have them varies with the severity of each case and the degree to which a patient takes care of themselves during the recovery process. Keep up the good work man, but above all else take care of yourself!!!
always a good ideal to check every where when ticks are out
I know a couple people that can’t eat red meat but they can eat deer steak
Devin, we uppreciate everything you do for us. 👏✌
Take care of yourself. 🙏
You a beauty. 😘
Bring bread on your hikes to keep you full longer. 🙂😉
DANG I’m just a mom who put her toddlers to bed and came and clicked on this. I seriously feel like I was right there with you. I feel rejuvenated. I miss being able to do stuff like this, my kids aren’t at a good age for it yet and I CRAVE nature. It makes me feel so much closer to Jesus. Thanks for this. I also respect you picking up yours and others trash. Absolutely would love more of these!
DEVIN SEAMAN IS ABUSIVE TO MOMS DONT WATCH THIS TRASH
One best things iv done as a mom is started em out young in the woods. My oldest was 10 days old her first trip to mountains. My youngest was 3 days old her first camping trip. (Summer babies)Was it easy? No esp after csec. Was it worth it 100%.they are 20 and 14 now and love nature and being outside. All 3 of my kiddos love it outside and being in nature. Please don’t let their size stop you. Watching them explore new things is amazing. Please follow your cravings go outside and play. Even if it’s couple hours you wont regret it. Well first couple trips might make you question your sanity before you get there lol. Once you’re there and engrossed its new ballgame. Take a friend or two with ya if you want/need help. The memories for you and kids its priceless. I promise that much. Each kiddo has their fav spots and memories.
I also go out in nature to feel closer to God. It’s the only place I truly feel at peace. God Bless you and your family
Amen!!
Take them anyway.
I feel your vibe on such a deep level. I feel closest to God and get such a sense of clarity when I’m out alone in nature. Thank you for the great videos. I hope you feel well despite the Lyme disease. I know that’s got to suck. God bless ❤
Love the message at the end. Very true. Great content man!
Love the video my dude, keep up the great content and giving good advice to those struggling mentally/physically in life. Nature is my go to for relief as well, no other form of therapy helps more than nature!
Your video came up in my feed this morning. I am in the worst rut that I have ever been in. I am waiting for hip replacement surgery because right now I can hardly walk. Lots of other things going on that are leaving me feeling very lonely, sad and scared. So I really enjoyed seeing you enjoy the outdoors. I was born in 1967 like the persons comment under mine. I am so grateful to have been able to run in the woods with my sister and just have fun. We were always outside. Thanks again and if you are a person who prays, please send some my way. 💜
He's giving me Shiey vibes, no annoying music bg, exploring, talking some of his exploration experiences and most importantly the *cooking show* 😆
Born in 81 here and yes being the last generation without technology was great! And as always another awesome video by you! And I hope all your bad luck has run its course 😊
I was born in 80, you are 100x100 right. Our generation was last growing without fully technology. Thanks god for that.
Thanks for sharing this experience/adventure with us. I used to camp out a lot as well; either alone, or with my young nephew and friends. Very often in our Lake District, or all around Scotland. The boys always loved slleeping in the wilder parts of the UK; but of course we weren't sharing it with bears or snakes that could kill.
But these days I can't do the same things because of injuries; but I do still love to drive around. But it's great to watch your videos and trips overnight. There's something really special about sleeping out and being closer to nature; and further away from our modern lives and electric plugs hahaha.
Come over to the UK and see our wilder parts sometime. . All the best to you and everyone here for new year. Jack.
I live in Arkansas,now. I grew up in Pa. Thank you, for hiking in, and climbing the tower, braving the wild life. And dangerous structures. The views Are Awesome!!! You are Awesome, Devin !!! I'm glad you got down, out of the tower safe.
Hey considering what you went through glad to see you're not letting these incidents bring you down stay strong man.
Thank you for all the extra steps you take in editing to show us the full adventure. I wonder if back in the day the “watcher of fires” stayed up all night in that tower. Anyhow, very cool to watch, thanks & peace out till next time.
New subscriber. You’re very talented with your craft. These videos are excellent and you have a wonderful personality. I pray that you are protected during your solo journeys. You seem like a light. Take care
This looks amazing!!! Can’t wait!
“ contemplating my life decisions “😂 . I love your videos and this one is one of my favorite. Love going on the journey with you, it feels like we’re there with you chatting😊 . I am glad you are better after all those experiences, thanks for sharing. Keep on doing you Devin ❤
the way you explain things is amazing. i feel like im reading a good book
This gave me a smile, My Husband and I are from up there 😄 talk about a small world...we lived in Perry county about 20 miles from the capital. I really enjoyed your video 😁
This was really a great video and you are great at what you do, thanks for taking us along.
Also, thank you for sharing your summer and what you went through. You are truly strong.
Wow...I just happened to find your video...I have done the Appalachian trail numerous times....and I know where the fire tower is located...My dog and I have been solo camping for 7 yrs...I have run into some scary and very weird human beings...I'm 6'11" and weigh 385 lbs Most people don't bother me...and my 4 legged friend is a Alaskan malimute..and he weighs around 160 lbs...he eats alot..he has saved me numerous times from 4 legged and 2 legged dangers....I wish you the best and be safe...always watch your 6...God Bless America...
I've been in a rut for most of my life, and it hit full tilt this year. I cant help but think I was meant to watch your video today. Your narrative fit what I needed to hear. I've been diagnosed with a disability this year, the key things in my life have all fallen apart leaving me feeling like there's no way out. My experience with depression and anxiety began almost 40 years ago with a panic attack and has spiraled out of control. I've been drawn to the idea of camping for recently by finding specific channels doing just that, with no frills. I "use" these videos as a powerful therapy. Actually being in nature, observing it, breathing it, is something I haven't been able to do much of, but it's one of the only things that comes close to making me feel better and allows me to function. Your video was the audible reminder of what I know, but what I needed to hear...just as you said. So thank you for sharing such a kind message. There are so many of us who suffer silently and need support, even if inspired by an unexpected video.
I love you whoever you are ❤️also pls get to know Jesus Christ of Nazareth he will bring you happiness and peace if you don’t already know him. But I love camping and these videos because it helps me see and understand gods creation more 😊
I thoroughly enjoyed this. I live adjacent to the Adirondack Park. I have hiked up to a few fire towers that are maintained by the park service. I am 55. I may not make it on another journey like this adventure you just took me on. You seem like a good human. I would enjoy more videos like this.
