Pocket Bellows, I love it. You can also use an antenna.
Thanks for hiking some of our great trails in Southeastern Ohio!
Oh and btw that part of archers fork you said was a beast, lmao, yah I went down that, went to Jackson run, turned back an camped at a site near a creak, think it was the one you were at and yah, that beast was pretty easy going down but dang it became a beast going back up lol.
I had that forest all to myself first two an a half days, and I got to stay at that campground bout a half mile down the road from the scenic Riverview trailhead last night, had the campground all to myself, right on the Ohio River, county commissioner Bob White, whom I met on the trail going out gave me a ride to it, saw it was closed and said go ahead and camp here, if ranger comes by, just tell him I said it was ok, and he gave me 8 pounds of the chicken of the woods mushrooms he had harvested off the trail, OMG that was such an amazing weekend, I got trail fever now, I'm going nuts wanting to get out on a trail again.
I lived in Marietta for 4 years back in the late 90's and visited the Wayne often. Brings back great memories of me and my dog Duke...'ol Duke was a character.
Dude that 900 foot descent you made at the end was my first ascent coming in on Halloween this year, that is the hill I told you about in another comment, I made it during a rainstorm, it was beating down rain all the way up, about halfway it started roaring 50 mile per hour wind gusts, literally had to hunker down multiple times bracing myself with my trekking poles so I didn't get knocked off and go rolling down the hill, and you ain't kidding it's a steep hill lol.
Anyways I got to the top finally, went just a bit till it dipped down into a nice open wooded area close to that view of the river, still pouring down rain, I'm excited cause I made it up, safe and not dead, I raised my trekking poles up, fists in the air and hollared, wooohooo made it, top of the world, the very second that sentence ended, gust of wind comes up the hill sonding like a freight train, I hear a horrible cracking sound as only about 20 to 30 feet straight in front of me a tree at least 60 or more feet tall breaks about ten feet from the base, the lower half hits the ground and about half way up the falling tree it cracks again and folds like a tent pole and goes down , shattering all. Over that hillside, my dumbarse just standing there wide eyes, fists still in the air, I literally said out loud, whoa that's not scary, lmao , lowered my arms and out loud again, couldn't help myself, looked around an said, OMG that's amazing😁😁😁, my first ever backpack adventure, three days and nights, and that was right out the gate all that madness happened, wouldn't trade that experience for anything.
That was Soo dangerous and I was all alone, was it stupid, probably, but that was my experience, all mine, it was fortunate actually, that fueled my new taste for adventure and I want more😁😁😁😁😁
Trail is open still to foot traffic, you would have been fine :).
Tracey Maine Hiker
Open year round for foot travel, closed in winter for mtb's.
Right :)
Could you comment on how this trail compares to Oil Creek as far as difficulty? In total I know Wayne is half the distance but what about elevation changes? Water availability? Any other comments?
Oil Creek is much much harder..
These are my home trails even though I'm in Columbus. I normally start from the Cemetery on Archers fork that way it always loops back. From there you can hit them all. Thanks for the vid.
Awesome time in the Buckeye state!
I like it when you add a couple of bloopers at the end! The Porcupine Mountains, MI was an ancient volcanic area. The SHT is only a short distence away. The Wayne National Forest is on my list. I have family in Ohio and it would make a good excuse to visit and do some backpacking. I also like the water tablet idea for winter. Happy Holidays! Bob & Cathy
Great video once again! Ive done the archers fork loop a couple of times by itself and id say it is a top 2 bp trail in ohio. The terrain is entertaining throughout. Not sure how far your drive is to get there but it is worth checking out . Just kinda short for someone as experienced as yourself.
Went out to Wayne two years ago and couldn't find anything. Time to go back as I've learned a lot about finding resources online and through the Forest Service.
Heard you mention the Superior Trail and that is on my radar for next year or the next. Travelling 1100 miles with four dogs will be interesting but from what I've seen it's well worth the effort.
Frozen, could you do a detailed video on the phone app you guys were using? i.e. finding the trail on the internet and loading it onto the phone. I think you were using airplane mode. Will the app still track your location? I'm very new to all of this. Keep up the great videos. Thanks, Brian
I personally don't use it but the people I hike with love it. The app in the video is called Gaia GPS it's a paid app for $20 it doesn't need data it tracks via GPS good app does use a decent bit of battery though. View Ranger is free and also pretty good.
just getting started and have to note /your hat looks WARm i like it. Wow it's cold for an overnight! and uh/ the sign says closed to ORV bikes and horse but Foot TRavel Welcome.. wouldn't that mean you guys are ok year round? ... that trekking pole option to widen the tarp around 25min is great, i can see applying a similar technique to other set ups. always great hiking with you. the oil wells are interesting to see way out there
+potatothorn that sign was called didn't have my coffee yet lol. In fact I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out actually...
hahahaha! too funny/// so you have an extra blooper too hahaha.... Great Video, thanks for braving the cold for us!
you guys should do Old Mans Cave in Hocking Hills Ohio... its really somethin.... great backstory too... at least look it up 🙂
I like the trekking pole idea with the tarp. Thanks for sharing.
I understand why they close the trail for 4 months, but honestly they should keep it open.
what app do you use to track your hikes?
there's a couple of apps. I personally don't track my hikes, but some people I hike with do. They use ViewRanger (free) and GaiaGPS (paid)
That elevation is nothing!!! I invite you to the adirondack high peaks , we can go summit Mt. Marcy at 5300'
HIKE & BIKE VLOGS ok tough guy
5300' is nothing!!! I invite you to the High Sierra. Oh wait...we better delay until June or so...maybe July...
I will come do Marcy with you man. Been wanting to do that hike maybe this year
Everest or bust.
Awesome video, I get even more excited whenever you have Ohio videos since they're places I've hiked! Also, I got an Exos 48 after watching all your videos. I can't wait to hike with it.
Also, Merry Late Christmas! Hope you got some new gear to show us
+Cal Phillips I might have but it won't make an appearance until it gets warm =P
Outdoor Adventures I'll be waiting patiently.
We just hiked the entire Archres fork trail loop and that big tree is till there. Thanks for this video. Fun watching you and meerkat.
Meerkat? Couldn't find his channel. Great video, keep 'em coming!
th-cam.com/channels/7kJdNi94E6l3AQDL0-OvXQ.html
I know this video is 9 months old and this is like my 3rd time seeing it but I never bothered to actually compliment you on the video if you feel like going back in Ohio again let me know I've been trying to do the entire Buckeye Trail in small segments but not by car I've been doing it all by mountain biking which is even worse I've already done a small section from Cleveland Ohio to Findley State Park just to the sign before the campground which is just over 90 Miles by bike not by car and I did that with a 50 something pound plus backpack on I did manage to get there and halfway home before my right knee gave out soo actualities I did approximately 166.3 miles according to my GPS all in two days
You should check out wildcat hollow there
Chris King Definitely! Wildcat is a fun hike!
Which one would you consider to be better? Heading that way soon.
I started backpacking at wildcat and now after years of travel backpacking I'm moving on to thru hiking still love wildcat though
Watching this in 2020. Always funny to hear people discover that SE and SW Ohio have some pretty nice hills.
Yetti straw. . . hmm!
Its such a pain in the gigzoo when your bags are saturated. You'd make big cash making those. Aloha Big Kekoa keep the adventures online.
Great video! I love the lake Vesuvius area of Wayne National Forest. Neat place to canoe around a lil bit as well!
What app are you using to track your stats???
HIKE & BIKE VLOGS Gaia GPS
Meerkat Thanks dude
Symmes creek
What app are you guys using to track route and time?
There's a couple we're are playing around with but check out MapMyHike and ViewRanger
Another entertaining and educational video. Thank you for sharing.
Can you just camp here or do you need a permit
You can camp on the NCT
Very cool, man. I'm extremely jealous.
So jealous I live in colorado and most the trails around here already have at least a foot of snow
Might be headed there soon so I rewatched your video... at 1:46 it reads closed to Off-Road Vehicles, Horses, Mountain Bikes but then says Foot Travel Welcome. I read online that it's open to hikers all year around.
Yup sign is misleading to a first glance. Could use some rewording.
Hey, Frozen. Awesome winter trip. Thanks for sharing! Did you use your 40* EE quilt down in those temps or did you use something different/in addition to?
+Nick Dean no I used my 0 set of EE quilts.
This past weekend went down a hill with no switchbacks 1800ft loss in 1.2 miles.. knees killed me for 3 days.. i feel your pain on those down hills lol
Downhill is an art form not usually needed until you are older. I used to just flop and clamber down all manner of de-elevation...no more my friend. And dispite what many say...trekking poles are a big help. Just do it!
Welcome to beautiful Ohio! .... With your tracking apps, do you use a lot of data? Also what is the battery box you use for your cameras?
It's an anker battery charger th-cam.com/video/bNFt9la3Ncc/w-d-xo.html
The tracking apps don't have to run on data (most anyway) they use GPS which is separate. You can turn off the data to your smart phone and the app will still work.
do you have the regular blackbird? what length do you have in on the incubator?😊awesome videos mate
Yes I have the regular blackbird and the length on the enlightened equipment revolt is 65" I believe. I'm 5'6" and it works great.
Totally digging your videos! I look forward to catching up on all of them! Nice job bud!
+The Earth Channel thanks for watching!
I've been planning that same loop for the last little while. Have not hiked it yet because I do not have a shuttle driver and dread the road walk. Take care, nice video!
The road walk wouldn't be that crazy though, only a couple miles IIRC. You should i it!
Outdoor Adventures
There is another loop I've been looking at in the area too. The road walk would only be 1.5 miles. It's taking the NCT from SR260 to the Archers Fork loop and then to the Jackson Run trail. North on the Ohio View to the northern trailhead and road walk back to the car. I do not know the mileage but it would be shorter than your loop. Good for a quick overnight jaunt. Many possibilities in this a area. The Greenwood trail is nice too!
Hey Jason! Thanks for the videos. what is Meerkat using to hold his phone/selfie stick into his pack strap? He sticks it into his strap in front but what is holding it?
It's just a little pocket on the shoulder straps of the Osprey Exos
Thanks!
those were made by amcient rivers. thats why their so smooth. thats what made old mans cave. teays river. that osprey looks slick.
Yes! You are correct! Thank you!
Next time add an egg and tuna, and you have a vocano
Looks like a pretty neat area. I'll have to take the trip from western New York to check it out. What is the name is Alex's TH-cam channel? I tried following the link you posted in another comment but it didn't work.
You're a lot more dedicated than me. I'm not a winter hiker. Waiting for low temps to get above 30* for me to get out there.
th-cam.com/channels/7kJdNi94E6l3AQDL0-OvXQ.html Seems to work for me even when signed out.Not sure how to find him other than that link.
Weird, the link doesn't work on my iPad but does on my chromebook. Thanks for the link. I look forward to checking out his videos :)
Not sure if someone may have already asked or not, but just curious as to what APP you were using on your phone? Nice video by the way, I grew up across the Ohio River from there in WV. Nice seeing some scenes from home.
Alex is using Gaia GPS in this video. It's $20 works well, but there are free apps like MapMyHike and ViewRanger that do basically the same thing.
Awesome thanks for the info, I have the viewranger on my phone and thought it looked very similar.
A LOT MORE TO OHIO THAN YOU EVEN THOUGHT THERE COULD BE HUH ???? MORE HIKING AREAS THEN JUST THIS ONE AS WELL
Lived in ohio my whole life and backpacking out of state is always better. Everything here looks the same
Great video, what app are you using for distance & mapping?
+Mark Kauer the app in this video is Gaia GPS. But you can free ones like view ranger or map my hike.
Great trip.Pipelines are quite an eyesore not to mention an enviromental hazard.
I hear ya, there weren't many but I did film all of them for whatever reason.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Thanks guys. good info.
What app were you guys using to track everything???
Gaia GPS, try ViewRanger and MapMyHike. They do the same thing.
Question: Does the "one size fits all" hoodlum by EE fit loosely? I have a 23" head circumference and am hoping is is not too tight. Thanks for this, and all of your videos.
It's a very loose hood with snaps in the front over the neck. It tightens via a piece of shock cord around the back of the head.
Great trail. Do you find hiking in the winter to be more or less difficult?
Way more difficult. You have to carry more gear, more food, more clothes. Fire is pretty important. And you always have to deal with condensation on your sleeping stuff. Knee issues from boots is still a problem for me. But it also has it's perks. It's more quiet sometimes more scenic, and you won't find a lot of people on the trail. So it's a pretty good tradeoff. The people that hike in the winter are the people that really enjoy being out there.
Sounds like a great experience. Thanks for letting us tag along on youtube.
Good stuff.
Was it WAW Hiker that did the Trekker pole setup?
Not sure to be honest.
Welcome to my neck of the woods my friend!
WoodsTrekkin' Adventures where is your neck of the woods? that's pretty close to my neck of the woods
Meerkat
I live in New Martinsville, WV. About 25 minutes from the Ohio View Trailhead. Where are you?
WoodsTrekkin' Adventures Steubenville Oh
Now that is funny at 19:27
I agree they should get the American pickers involved!
