Looks like a nice relaxing time. Cooking up 3 filets 👍
It was! I just took this trip nice and slow being by myself. The filet was great, I only ate one that first night and saved the others for part of my tacos the next night. That'll be in the next video. Thanks for watching and commenting
Just beautiful!!
It was for sure! Thank you for watching! 😘
That looks frigid! Can’t imagine what it was like it a tent at night. You’re a brave man.
The tent was toasty the whole time. I had plenty of the 1lb. propane tanks to keep that heater going. The coldest part was making breakfast outside the tent in the mornings.
Brrrrr!! That is to cold for me! You are a brave man. Great video though. Loved the ice on the waterfalls!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Yes, that river was amazing with the ice lining it.
Great video thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching and commenting. So glad you liked it.
Another nice adventure in the southern Appalachians, and solo at that! Heading that way in April when the temps warm up and the fly fishing is picking up. Enjoyed the vicarious trip into the BRWMA and the snowy scenery. Looking forward to Part II.
Yep had to go it alone this time but it was still very enjoyable. I’m sure it will be beautiful in April with all the fresh green leaves and new spring when you go. I hope to half Part 2 up in another week or so. Thanks again for watching another and commenting.
Loved all you captured despite being solo! So well done!
Almost made me want to venture out in that cold…🤔…actually nope. Still not my thing! Great video!!
Oh come on! You would have loved it! It gets your blood pumping. Kinda like a ice bath! 😜. Glad you liked the video. A lot of running 🏃🏼♂️ back and forth to the Jeep and cameras. Definitely got some exercise in on this trip. Thanks for watching
Oooh, that fire looks so warm!! Those temps sound pretty good - we got stuck with -20 and -30 degree temps over the last few days but warming up a bit now! ;-) Looks like some beautiful exploring! Love all the cascading waterfalls... Enjoyed the adventure! 💙Terry and Terri
Whoa those temps are crazy. You weren’t camping in that were you? Yes the fire was very warm and spent most of my time at camp very close to it. Also made sure I had plenty of wood to keep it roaring! So glad you liked this video to. The river was amazingly beautiful with the ice and snow along it. That’s why I dedicated a small section of the video to it. Thanks again for watching and commenting!
Enjoyed the video! Looks like a fun time and gourmet camp meal. I like that you shared the coordinance to where your camp was. Nice to be able to see on a map where that beautiful area was. Love the jeep drive by shots too. I'm a little partial since I have its twin, LOL!
I really enjoyed this trip and it was fun. Nothing to hardcore as far as trails but very relaxing and easy going. Yeah I go back and forth on whether to share coordinates. One way I look at it is I think this may help people spread out and find new areas and not hit the more popular spots so hard, like the Georgia Traverse. Last time I was on a portion of it the camp sites and trail were looking pretty rough. Yes I enjoy checking out your twin! Thanks for watching and commenting again.
Nice video! Wait til you get into some deep snow and ice. Those cliff edges become so much more intense.
Can't wait! Though we did get into some deep stuff in our Colorado video of Pearl Pass. I agree it can add another level of anxiety to the cliffs.
Excellent video and edit dad! I should have went with you this time. I sure will next time. Keep up the great work.
Next time! You would have loved it. you could have got some practice on the slick trails.
Loved watching you latest! Another great video. Still hoping to meet up one day on the trail.
That would be cool! we'll be on the look out!
Great little winter camping video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
@@GetOverItOutdoors I like winter camping better than summer camping - less bugs. Like you, I am a tent camper as well.
@@toddhoffmaster6057 yes it’s nice not having any bugs around. And another good thing about winter camping is a lot more empty campsites. I had the pick of the litter. Hardly anyone else out camping this week I went
@@GetOverItOutdoors I will be heading out that way in April, hoping that the bug situation doesn’t get too crazy. Coming from AZ, so we don’t usually have too many bugs or pollen. In May, we will be down in FL running the BOH trail, so that will definitely be buggy.
This is a wonderful video but I think your last one was better just because of the beautiful leave change. Keep them coming can’t wait for Part 2.
I agree the leaves in the last video were amazing but the snow and ice in the forest in this one was pretty wonderful in itself. Be on the look out for it, should be out in a couple weeks.
I love winter in the forest. I don’t think I could have camped in those temps though. Thanks for sharing.
You and me both! the snow on the trees and the ice along the river were amazing. thanks for watching and commenting.
Just subscribed. I also live in FL. Planning on heading up that way in the Gladiator here soon. Thank you so much for the coordinates. That’s really helpful.
Thanks so much for subbing! Glad you like the channel! Happy travels on your trip that way. Are you heading to Jeep Beach this week?
@@GetOverItOutdoors I wish! I’m on-call this weekend! I live out in Lake County so I’ll have to take a nice therapeutic back road drive through the hills to make up for it. Have fun out there! I look forward to more videos. Be safe!
@@smorris2993 that sounds like a great time. I should have another video done soon.
That was one chilly camp. Don’t think I could have done it
I’m sure you could have. Just need to prepare ahead and layer, layer,layer!
You captured it beautifully! I love nature and getting out in it. That’s a beautiful river is it o the side of the trail or do you have to hike to it?
It sure is! The river is right along Noontootla Rd. No hiking necessary. You could actually just drive slowly and see most of the river from your vehicle. Thanks for watching.
How about a video on what you have done to your jeep and all the accessories. Thanks
Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve thought many times about doing one of those videos but didn’t really know what the viewer interest level would be. But you pushed me one step closer to doing one. Thanks!
Great video! We are heading there for two nights in a couple of weeks. Love all the camera angles/shots.
Did you find it colder camping right next to the stream, or at those temps, did it really matter? lol
Thanks so much! I think you’ll really like the area if you haven’t been before. We were there again the week between Christmas and New Year. Very cold again.
It may have been a couple degrees colder but the campsite is deep between 2 mountains that it cut the wind to nothing, so it kinda balances itself out.
Have fun and thanks again!
Enjoyed the video. Do you ever do much hiking or backpacking on your trip?
Thanks for watching. I don't do much hiking and haven't ever back packed. I prefer riding. lol.
Great video! Do ever worry about the Buddy Heater inside your tent? Any problems with condensation?
Not really, the top of the tent is entirely screen and there is good ventilation between it and the rain fly. So carbon monoxide and condensation are not a problem. Thanks for watching
That sure does look cold! I don’t know if I could do it!
It sure was for this Florida boy!
Where’s the drone footage? That one of the parts I like best about your videos. You did do a great job with all the different shots and angles though. Keep up the good work, more drone though! 😂
Well I was planning to use the drone quite a bit but as soon as I sent it up on the first day something went haywire and it came crashing down and broke one of the arms. should have it back from repair this week hopefully.
Are there other campsites along this trail? Do you have a file you can share for Gaia? Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.
Yes there are 8 dispersed/primitive campsites along this road. All of them were really clean and no trash. I do not have a file to share but you should be able to find everything with the coordinates in the video and the names of the trails.
Did you have to use 4Lo on any of those trails? Enjoyed the video thanks!
I don't think I did use 4Lo. All of these trails could have been done in 2wheel I only used 4 high because of some of the ice make for snow slick spots. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video! Are you planning any wheeling in the Orlando/central Florida area in 3 weeks on Feb 25th? My wife and I will be in the area with a free day to wheel and we’re not sure where to go.
Ugh, that weekend we will be a Jeep charity event, Jeepin with Judd, in Bartow, FL. You should try and check it out. It may be sold out but it's probably the best Jeep event in FL as far as trails. Would have loved to possibly have met up. Check out the FAT. Florida Adventure Trail. I think some of it comes close to the Orlando area. There are GPX files you can dload for it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@GetOverItOutdoors I think we might check out the Jeepin with Judd event… didn’t realize it was that weekend!
@@venture.explore.discover I think you’d really enjoy it if you did. Send me a message if you do, it would great to meet you.
@@GetOverItOutdoors will do 👍
Enjoyed the trails but pinstripes aren’t for me. Is it worse when there are no leaves on the branches? Seems like it would scratch more
Yeah the bare branches can wreak havoc on the Jeep but nothing I haven't been able to buff out so far. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Wow, another steak at camp! Have you have your cholesterol checked? Lol! Looked like you have a amazing trip.
Hahaha! No I haven't recently. All the steaks while camping in these videos are special treats. I rarely have steak at home unless again it is a special occasion. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Hi Do you need some great lighting for your car to help you better driving, off-road? We're the pro auto lighting company for nearly 20 year and we're looking for sponsorship!
Thank you so much!!! I think we are good on lights at the moment but I will definitely keep @auxbeam in mind if something arises. Thanks again for reaching out.
@@GetOverItOutdoors No problem. Always open to working you guys! Just let us know if you need any auxbeam kits for any project in the future. We're definitely open to talk about our partnership!
