This is good info, wow, this is where the mighty Mississippi River starts, fresh, clear water, so beautiful. I hope your adventure was fruitful and kicks off your mission. Good luck friend. 👍👍😍😊😊
You can definitely do this!!! I quit cold turkey on Dec 7, 2016. Smoked my last cigarette and never looked back. Deciding once and for all to do it was the key for me. I’m kind of competitive...so for me it helped to every day keep a tally of how many days I had gone. Once I hit 30 days, the few times the urge hit me, I just reminded myself if I cave into the craving, I would have to start at 0 again. That kept me motivated. It was actually much easier to quit than I ever thought it would.... because I actually wanted to finally quit. Now, I do still get cravings a couple of times a year, but they go away just as fast as they come on!! You’ve got this!!!
I have the exact same strategy as you. Cold turkey, and count the days. I feel pretty confident so I think I got it!! Thanks so much for the encouragement!
Tim, awesome goal. 25 years is a long time. Redirect your savings to backpacking gear! That is really cool to see the beginning of the Mississippi. Cool drone shots of your camping area. Great food too. Have a great day and good luck going forward with your quest.
I too am hoping that hiking will be my path to ending my nicotine addiction. I wish you the absolute best on your journey! Please keep us posted on your progress.
Wow!! If you ever decide to quit, I would highly recommend hiking. It helped to be 4 miles away from a convenience store. I knew I had limited options and the peace and quiet certainly helped too! 3 days and counting for me!! Keep in touch!
An excellent video of your backpacking. I like how you add music and aerial views along the way. Wish you success with conquering your cigarette addiction. I feel fortunate that it is something I never started. Thank you for sharing my new friend.
Thanks man! I hadn't been to Itasca since I was about 12 so my mind was BLOWN!! It is such a great place. Can't wait to go back! Are you from the area?
Just got back from backpack site #10. Brother and I carried the canoe from Douglas lodge parking lot all the way to the deer park lake camp site with packs and still had a blast.
@@BackpackingwithBuckley U bet! Fishing was great on Mary and Itasca lakes, had trails to ourselves. Oh, I'm planning on quitting smoking the way you did in a few months at the BWCA. Wish me luck.15 year smoker here....
I was a smoker for years. I smoked about 10 or so a day, some days more, some less. It was hard to give up the habit but I am so glad I did with how expensive they've become now. I think it took me six months to get over it and sometimes.. I do still miss it. Terrible habit though. Looked like a cool place to hike and backpack. Thanks for the video brother
I wish you well on your journey to quit the habit. Beautiful lake up there and love the drone shots. My box of Peak Refuels just arrived and I'll be trying a couple on some upcoming trips. See ya out there!
That almost had the vibe of a real spiritual journey there. Good luck beating that addiction, we're pulling for you. When you tell everyone on TH-cam you're doing something, that's kind of a commitment in itself. You'll have to keep us posted on how it's going in the next few. One disturbing thought JR had.... if you take a leak in the river there, think of the adventure it would have on that long journey to the Gulf of Mexico... Trippy. We are, of course, not suggesting one do such a thing to such pristine water! Just thinking about the tale that could be told.
Hatless! Now you know it's "for realz" as I am sure all the kids say probably. In all seriousness, good luck man. Took me years to quit and I know if I had even 1 I would fall off the wagon. Stay strong my man! ...and your use of the JJ audio is flawless as per the usual.
You have inspired me to quit smoking. I've been smoking for 33 years. Lately I've found myself smoking more and have been thinking about quitting. I've tried a few times in the past but only lasted a couple weeks. I'm going to try again on my next backpacking trip and not take any with me and no access to any. I'll bring one as well though and have my last smoke out there. Thanks for the inspiration. 👍 Goid luck to you. 🙂
That's AMAZING! I'm on day 3 now and I don't regret getting the first 2 days out of the way in the woods. It was a good place to stay busy and keep my mind off of it. It also made giving up a big chore as I would have had to walk 4 miles, then drive 20 just to get a pack!! Haha!! Please keep me posted on how you do!
@@adventureswithbecketandxena I hate giving advice as we are all different but the CBD worked great for me. I wanted to smoke SOMETHING but I didnt want nicotine in it.
@@BackpackingwithBuckley I understand. I have dropped 28 lbs since January 4th long ways to go but it's a start. But tonight I reward myself with Chinese buffet.
Dang! What an awesome spot! I was hooked from those very first opening clips. Gorgeous! Loved the running at about 8 minutes. You turning into a trail runner??? 🤣 Addiction is a beast man. But you've got this. Thanks for sharing this so we can support you on the journey.
I hope this is going well, Tim. I was up to one per day when I worked in a meat-packing plant in Iowa in high school, because all my co-workers smoked. Luckily I quit the job and the habit, and never looked back. Good luck!!!
Good luck Tim. Just think of all that camping gear you'll be able to buy with the money you save. As always, an honest film from you. Stunning location too 🤞
Man what a beautiful park. The Mississippi looks a lot different down here in TN. Definitely wish ya good luck at kicking the habit. Was one of the most absolute hardest thing I ever done. Best to ya!
Awesome Tim《☆》Wise move parting ways with ol Phil👍♧ I quit 23 years ago. Staying out of Bars helps. Beef Strog helps too but no after meal smoke¿.🔥😁🌴◇:*:◇🌴Greetings from⛾Florida🤳my friend😎🎱☮🔊🖖👍
“And I’m gonna call it a night as far as you folks go” 🤣 ahhh.. I know the feeling well! I quit twice. One time for 3 years and another for 7. I broke after my 2014 divorce. I know excuses are like.. well, you know.. everyone has one. 🤷♀️ I wish you the very best on this epic quest!! Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. It’s a bit like meditation. The reason you are thinking so much about having a smoke is because you are also thinking so much about NOT having a smoke. Think less. Hike more. 👍
Good luck! I’m with you. You can kick it. This July it will be 10 years since I quit after two packs a day. Both my parents passed away from lung cancer so that was my motivation. I used Chantix. Worked well and ohhhhhhh the dreams I had. It was tough and it will be tough. Honestly I still think about it. Mostly after I relay a meal. But stay strong. It’s a journey. One step at a time my friend. 👍. That’s so many bear. I have a phobia about bears. Go figure, I backpack all the time and am terrified of bears. Lol. I know there is a bear with a ticket with my name on it. To make it worse, a few weeks ago my wife said, “hey, let’s watch this movie. It’s about hikers and looks pretty good”. The movie was named Backcountry and is based on a true story. I won’t say here what it’s about but look it up. You will understand…: I’ve never tried Peak Refuel meals. I see a bunch of people eating them and saying they are good. I’ll have to give them a try. Great video!
Thanks for the support pal!! I was scared of bears being solo but I didn't see any mammals bigger than a squirrel! I am cold turkey still as I type this comment!! Try Peak Refuel. They truly are good!
Hey Tim you always find great camp spots. I need to find somewhere over here where I can hang my hammock right next to a lake. Good luck quitting smoking mate, you got this! 😁👍🏻🤞🏻👊🏻 Atb. Daz 😁👍🏻🏕
Great place to visit! I may have to venture there someday. As for the journey you are on, take it one day at a time. Maybe start a journal to help. I think one on the most difficult aspects of it, is the mental part. Our bodies are on the path of healing after that third day, but the mental state seems to take a bit longer. Trust me, I know. Been over 2 decades since i put them down. Good luck on your journey and find those positive people to reach out too if needed.
You can do this! This is a difficult habit to kick, but the only person that help you do this is you. I remember being on the AT after climbing Sassafras mountain and was completely out of breath but still craving a cig. At that point, I had to choose what I wanted. To smoke or to hike. You have to decide what you want. It's been five years since that day and I am proud to say I am no longer a smoker.
@@BackpackingwithBuckley Awesome to hear! Keep it up and it gets a lot easier after the first 30 days. It’s all about routine. Making videos helped me occupy my time and Melatonin at night helps too. It’s amazing how much better you feel as times goes on and the hangovers don’t hurt as bad.
You got this, Tim! One day those cravings will turn into pure revulsion. It’s a long path, but you will get there. In the words of Walter Sobchak, “If you will it, Dude, it is no dream.” Keep up the awesome work.
A great journey…I love solo trips; great time to self-reflect. Couple questions: 1 - Which sites are good for hammocks? 2 - What Mountain Hardware jacket is that? :) Until the next journey!
1 through 4 were all I saw there and they would all work well for hammocks. I would bet most of the sites there would work. I have the Mtn Hardware Ghost Shadow. It is their synthetic jacket and I really like it!! Thanks for watching Jay!
Looks like a pretty good substitute for the ole cigs. My mom smokes the exact pack and has been trying to quit over the past few months, been smoking roughly the same amount of time as you. Being outdoors is a good way to try and help get your mind off of it and you are solo so no one to be grumpy towards haha. Quite a nice area to hike brother!
This was so cool to hear about your will power and determination in overcoming something you don’t want to be part of your life anymore. Mad props. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was it was costing you up to $8 a day! Keep it up, man! Also, what kind of drone do you use?
I smoked cigs from 14 years old to 28. Terrible habit. I thought I was cool smoking when I was a kid, but then I was hooked. I used the patch to help stop smoking. Plus a bunch of Weed!! 😂😂😂. But mine wasn’t CBD 😂😂. CBD wasn’t even around 20 years ago. I’m wishing you the best of luck to stop smoking. I hope the CBD helps out. Beautiful spot by the water Buckly. As always I love your background music choices. I’m wishing you the best of luck on stopping smoking. YOU GOT THIS 👊🏻
Thanks Jason!! There may be certain situations where the CBD isn't what I'm using either. 😉 The CBD helps for sure but the real stuff might work even better!!
Great video man! I love the drone footage! I have 6 siblings and I'm the only one who hasn't been addicted to cigarettes', I consider myself lucky that I never started. I channeled my addictive behavior into musical instruments and photography. Find something to replace the cig in your hand. My brother started with nicotine gum and then went to regular gum. My one sister quit cold turkey after a heart attack. You can do it!
oh man, great job on the stopping of smoking! i've been using the nicotine pouches to 'dip' called "On". Much much better than tobacco. Dude, for real, very proud of you. Keep it up man, you can do it!
Great timing Tim, Intrigued to see how you get on with your toxic relationship, good luck!.....great to see the start of the Mississippi, wow, it sure was fresh and clear compared to what you'd find in other sections! Hahhaha yuk, disgusting nature 😆 was that a cranky moment? Hope you are doing well with the quiting, dont quit quitting! Great to hear about the animals in that area too, and how you know what you could potentially meet and how you'd deal with it. Did you actually see anything other than 🐺💩? Addiction is the worst, shout if ever you need anything, FB or insta, Ceri and Kat ❤☕👍 p.s loved the editing, drone footage, and bits to camera, getting better and better with every video. Keep busy and stay well 🤜🤛🌈🦄
Thanks for the kind words as always!! I am doing well so far and much of my success is thanks to supportive friends and family! Hiking will be much easier if I kick the habit!
Dude shoes! My favorite! Glad to see you like the PR still lol. True story I haven't eaten that one because I don't like mushroom's! LOL How to you like Jetboil Stash? Excellent video man! Kick Smoking's A**!
Thanks Taylor!! Dudes are my jam too. Probably wore about 4 pairs bald. Haha. I don't like mushrooms either but they aren't noticeable in the stroganoff! PR is the SHIT for real man. 5 days, no smoking (cigarettes anyway 😉).
Oh, and the Stash is pretty sweet. I got it as a gift but I probably wouldn't pay that much for it. I'll probably still use the Pocket Rocket as my stove for longer trips.
I love it so much. It is so beautiful like upper Peninsula Michigan. Actually we saw fresh coyote 💩 on the way out hike from NCT. I could tell we were in deeper Forest. Hope you can stay away from smoking, and I see your commitment to quitting telling us about it 😊 never give up🤞
Hang in there Tim. The thing to keep in mind with Cigarettes is you're trading temporary pleasure in that moment for permanent damage down the road. Keep you're eye on what's down trail and you'll be all good.
I quit around 12 years ago and used champix tablets, I was on around 40 a day at the time.. you got this man!! Best of luck! It’s not easy but you sound like you have made the decision so you will meet your goal I’m sure 👍
So two years ago? Did you shake the monkey off your back? I eventually quit the menthol cigs over 13 years ago. It took a triple bypass 1 month prior to my easter weekend operation that was all the incentive I needed. 36 years of those damn things. I see now my brand is around $10.00 a pack. Oh boy I was younger and naive.
I am unfortunately a failure in this quest. It's a crippling addiction and I'm sad to say I still smoke, although far less than I used to. I have high hopes of quitting on another trip this year! Thanks for your support my friend!
Actually Tim you don't need any help if you are truly ready to quit. It happened to me at 27 when I came to the realization that I really didn't like to smoke. So why was I doing it? I was a full grown man and didn't need no one to authorize me to quit. My family laughed and said it wouldn't last a week. Sorry to disappoint them but now at 80 I can see what a nasty and expensive habit it was. Really not a big deal unless you make it one. You don't need gum, patches or CBD that's just changing the same habit. JUST QUIT AND STOP TALKING ABOUT IT! You need the GSI Infinity mug that has the gradation marks on it. Lol
Thanks John!! Im a little different in the fact that I admit I LIKE to smoke. 🤣 I'm a little weird maybe but the CBD helped and it isnt addictive like nicotine and I sure as hell wouldn't smoke 20 joints of CBD a day!
@@SeniorHiker77 it's garden season and they are a full on operation so they don't get out as much. I keep my responsibilities to an absolute minimum! Haha

best of luck on your journey. Enjoy coming along with you! Alfredo also my favorite but only eat it on cheat days lol
Everyday is a chest day for me!! Haha. Thanks for watching Marisol!
Looks like a pretty good substitute for the ole cigs. My mom smokes the exact pack and has been trying to quit over the past few months, been smoking roughly the same amount of time as you. Being outdoors is a good way to try and help get your mind off of it and you are solo so no one to be grumpy towards haha. Quite a nice area to hike brother!
Thanks my friend!! It was MY WAY of quitting so I dont promote it for everyone but it has worked for me so far! Lol.
This was so cool to hear about your will power and determination in overcoming something you don’t want to be part of your life anymore. Mad props. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was it was costing you up to $8 a day! Keep it up, man!
Also, what kind of drone do you use?
Thanks so much!! I use a DJI Mini2. It is small and light and awesome!! 😀
I smoked cigs from 14 years old to 28. Terrible habit. I thought I was cool smoking when I was a kid, but then I was hooked. I used the patch to help stop smoking. Plus a bunch of Weed!! 😂😂😂. But mine wasn’t CBD 😂😂. CBD wasn’t even around 20 years ago. I’m wishing you the best of luck to stop smoking. I hope the CBD helps out.
Beautiful spot by the water Buckly. As always I love your background music choices.
I’m wishing you the best of luck on stopping smoking. YOU GOT THIS 👊🏻
Thanks Jason!! There may be certain situations where the CBD isn't what I'm using either. 😉 The CBD helps for sure but the real stuff might work even better!!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley 😁😁
Great video man! I love the drone footage! I have 6 siblings and I'm the only one who hasn't been addicted to cigarettes', I consider myself lucky that I never started. I channeled my addictive behavior into musical instruments and photography. Find something to replace the cig in your hand. My brother started with nicotine gum and then went to regular gum. My one sister quit cold turkey after a heart attack. You can do it!
Thanks for the encouragement Tomas!! It will be worth it if I succeed!
Wow, good luck. You can do it! :)
Thanks so much for the encouragement!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley :)
I been at those headwaters. Beautiful place. Good for you to as you push forward and away for cigarettes. Sounds like O’Doul’s of the weed world.🤣
That's EXACTLY what it is (Odouls). 😀 That's another habit I quit so I'm all too familiar with Odouls!! Thanks for watching!
oh man, great job on the stopping of smoking! i've been using the nicotine pouches to 'dip' called "On". Much much better than tobacco. Dude, for real, very proud of you. Keep it up man, you can do it!
Thanks Mat!!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley Most welcome!
hey man great video. Really could use some advice about Minnesota dispersed camping.
Feel free to email me at 76buckley@gmail.com or friend me on FB at Tim Buck. I know a little about a lot!!
You got this buddy 👍. Besides that with your new found love of peak refuel meals you'll need to save money for that new addiction 😆
Thanks Jason!! Peak Refuel is actually speedier that smoking! 😀
Great timing Tim, Intrigued to see how you get on with your toxic relationship, good luck!.....great to see the start of the Mississippi, wow, it sure was fresh and clear compared to what you'd find in other sections! Hahhaha yuk, disgusting nature 😆 was that a cranky moment?
Hope you are doing well with the quiting, dont quit quitting! Great to hear about the animals in that area too, and how you know what you could potentially meet and how you'd deal with it. Did you actually see anything other than 🐺💩?
Addiction is the worst, shout if ever you need anything, FB or insta, Ceri and Kat ❤☕👍
p.s loved the editing, drone footage, and bits to camera, getting better and better with every video. Keep busy and stay well 🤜🤛🌈🦄
Thanks for the kind words as always!! I am doing well so far and much of my success is thanks to supportive friends and family! Hiking will be much easier if I kick the habit!
I didn't see any animals other than ducks, birds , and squirrels. I didn't even see another human after I hiked in. It was a strange trip that way.
Dude shoes! My favorite! Glad to see you like the PR still lol. True story I haven't eaten that one because I don't like mushroom's! LOL How to you like Jetboil Stash? Excellent video man! Kick Smoking's A**!
Thanks Taylor!! Dudes are my jam too. Probably wore about 4 pairs bald. Haha. I don't like mushrooms either but they aren't noticeable in the stroganoff! PR is the SHIT for real man. 5 days, no smoking (cigarettes anyway 😉).
Oh, and the Stash is pretty sweet. I got it as a gift but I probably wouldn't pay that much for it. I'll probably still use the Pocket Rocket as my stove for longer trips.
@@BackpackingwithBuckley Awesome! I've thought about getting it for overnight trips but your right that price has stopped me.
@@SouthernHike the measurements suck on the pot and it isn't lighter than a Toaks pot and a pocket rocket.
I love it so much. It is so beautiful like upper Peninsula Michigan. Actually we saw fresh coyote 💩 on the way out hike from NCT. I could tell we were in deeper Forest. Hope you can stay away from smoking, and I see your commitment to quitting telling us about it 😊 never give up🤞
Thanks Ssooni. So far so good!!
Really love the way you recorded. Thumbs up from a fellow creator 😅
Thanks bud!
Dude, the pan effects are killer! Is that new? I love it and I want it :)
Lucky experiments bud!
Hang in there Tim. The thing to keep in mind with Cigarettes is you're trading temporary pleasure in that moment for permanent damage down the road. Keep you're eye on what's down trail and you'll be all good.
Thanks Aaron!! I want to be around long enough to hike with you when I'm 90 and your 80!! Hahaha
@@BackpackingwithBuckley Sounds good, I'll pencil you in for July 20th 2075. It's a Saturday. 😁
@@SignalOutdoors perfect!!
I quit around 12 years ago and used champix tablets, I was on around 40 a day at the time.. you got this man!! Best of luck! It’s not easy but you sound like you have made the decision so you will meet your goal I’m sure 👍
So far, so good buddy!! The CBD helps too and isn't as bad for me.
hello you nice🌷thank 🎁
Cough if up, brother.
Good Ole doobies!!
So two years ago? Did you shake the monkey off your back? I eventually quit the menthol cigs over 13 years ago. It took a triple bypass 1 month prior to my easter weekend operation that was all the incentive I needed. 36 years of those damn things. I see now my brand is around $10.00 a pack. Oh boy I was younger and naive.
I am unfortunately a failure in this quest. It's a crippling addiction and I'm sad to say I still smoke, although far less than I used to. I have high hopes of quitting on another trip this year! Thanks for your support my friend!
Good Luck in giving up your habit of smoking.
Thanks Tim!!
Curious.. Did you kick the habit for good?
Sadly, no. I smoke far less but it is an intense addiction.
@@BackpackingwithBuckley i feel ya! ❤️
Actually Tim you don't need any help if you are truly ready to quit. It happened to me at 27 when I came to the realization that I really didn't like to smoke. So why was I doing it? I was a full grown man and didn't need no one to authorize me to quit. My family laughed and said it wouldn't last a week. Sorry to disappoint them but now at 80 I can see what a nasty and expensive habit it was. Really not a big deal unless you make it one. You don't need gum, patches or CBD that's just changing the same habit. JUST QUIT AND STOP TALKING ABOUT IT! You need the GSI Infinity mug that has the gradation marks on it. Lol
Thanks John!! Im a little different in the fact that I admit I LIKE to smoke. 🤣 I'm a little weird maybe but the CBD helped and it isnt addictive like nicotine and I sure as hell wouldn't smoke 20 joints of CBD a day!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley I knew you would give it a good try. ATB. I'm surprised you didn't get upset with me.
I'd never get upset with you John. You always have my best interests in mind!
@@BackpackingwithBuckley I really do have your best interest in mind. What happen to Cody & Molly, haven't heard from them lately?
@@SeniorHiker77 it's garden season and they are a full on operation so they don't get out as much. I keep my responsibilities to an absolute minimum! Haha
