There are trails out there which time has forgotten; those which no longer see the foot prints of humans...
It is those trails which I like to travel and for this adventure, I am Pathfinding Dead Trails within the backcountry.

I say it all the time and I'm going to continue saying it. The effort this guy puts into these videos is staggering.
I like that he uses the gear for a while before giving a final score.
A friend of mine purchased a really nice backpack last autumn and one of the shoulder straps snapped at the seams (on the foam padding tip).
This was right after filling it up and test fitting minutes before heading out the door.
So i advice people to do a few rounds along a road with all the gear you're bringing to test the quality a few days before heading out.
And also inspect the stitching before a purchase i think.
(NB: My friend could have exceeded the weight limit on his pack, but we didn't test this).
Coffee Jack The only way you should be able to exceed the weight limit on a pack is by filling it with rocks or led bars. The pack should be able to hold as much gear as you can stuff into it and then some. I used a 45L Walmart pack for years with no issues and I stuffed it to max capacity almost every trip. Sounds like your friend got a crappy pack.
Hes a beast at it!!!
Luke has something that I haven't seen in a LONG time... and people are drawn to it... I think they call it... INTEGRITY ! He truly is the REAL DEAL !
Well, then, Bobo, don't say it again. Give someone else a chance 😉😊👍Then, again, maybe people need to have it brought to their attention. ☺
Luke in your camping videos before you go to sleep you always say about watching a movie. When I go camping, I’m watching through the 10 years of your videos. They’re that good keep up the good work.
To luke and everyone's family please be safe during this difficult time stay healthy.
You too.
Thanks. Same to you!
Thanks Bob. Peace
Another great video Luke. An adventure every week ! Just the medicine we need under these global conditions Luke, thank you.... 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I'm in Western, NY where my State now has almost 12,000 cases now of Covid-19. I have more than 60 acres of woods out behind my house. It looks like it will be the only place to do all my outdoor activities this year, but I am thankful I'm not in a big city. Great video Luke,.I can't wait for it to warm up to get out & about.
Awesome video. Having served in the Military all over the world for 25 years, and 50 years roaming the woods, I've seen many depressions. If any Civil War battles were fought on that mountain, it could be a sunken fighting position (foxhole), seems too big for a old grave site, and the worst case could be the remains of a old home site "3 seater" outhouse slit trench!
Luke, that depression in the ground looks as if a may have been an old fighting position left over from the Civil War.
That’s what I was thinking also.
Use a metal detector out there..
I really like the videos where you've no plan and you don't know where are you going... the element of surprise and explore makes it much better! Thanks for sharing.
My favorite videos too
This is the true way to practice social distancing! Well done.
I enjoy watching him. He has a lot that i still learn.
The hole would be about the right size for a "cochon de lait" or pig roast, roasting the pig in a pit covered with coals. I like the water filter. Tent looks real light. You could get some of those "Hot Hands" from the Wally to warm up your frozen snack. They get pretty warm pretty quick and last a few minutes. They also spontaneously reheat when handled again. Coffee sounds like just the ticket for the time and place. Thanks for having us along.
Thank you for giving this shut-in an outdoor experience every day peace.
ive just come across this channel a few days ago and ive been binge watching it since, love it.
A black tent, nope unless its used to supply heat when the suns out. Great job on the camping, getting to the outdoors Luke. I do so enjoy it.
Love Grayson highlands/ Mount Rogers NRA My favorite trails are the ones are the ones less traveled. Your going at the right time. No overgrown trail, no pop up thunderstorms and no ticks! Especially since we did not have a winter.
Thank you. Beautiful scenery. Stay well.
I'm now 60 years old with bad knee replacements. I'm sure my backpacking days are over. When I was a teenager, I did alot of solo trips. You keep my heart energized. I love your adventures.
Luke I hope you and your family stay safe and are well
Love what you guys do, thanks for taking us along. Addicted to your channel. Thanks for the hard work you do.
Luke👍👍 Great walk about. Weather was superb and the film came across perfect👌 The back and forth camera work was exhaustive I'd imagine, thanks for a quality watch😊 That divot in the ground...Bigfoot bed🤔 Nice trip, see ya next time. Enjoy!
Luke, when in unfamiliar territory, and on a time restriction, better to stick to known trail. I have been lost in those mountains as a 13 yo boy. I thought I was utterly familiar with my mountain. Well, I still had some learning to do. Whew... The story is too long. I’m 63 now, obviously made it home. I ended up walking clean off the mountain and halfway across the valley before I found a house to ask for a phone. It was late and Mom was not happy, especially when she heard where I ended up. Thanks for the great adventure and super video. Texas
Another excellent installment. If I could swing it, I'd grab my son, some cash, and lots of food and head to Pisgah. It looks quite wonderful.
Your tidbits of wisdom amid the atmosphere of fear and confusion are welcome, to be sure. These images are refreshing and well received. Thank you for what you do. The depression you pointed out is likely a sinkhole or a washout where a tree once grew. I'm sure dear Susie was watching anxiously when you began to shed the sweater and say "it's getting hot" lol
Keep up the good work and thank you for the example you set. Integrity is refreshing. Keep doing what you do. S&H.
There's alot of fallen trees on this path and alot of water. But still fun to watch.
"Land Subsidence" is a gradual settling or sudden sinking of the Earth's surface owing to subsurface movement of earth materials. The principal causes of land subsidence are aquifer-system compaction, drainage of organic soils, underground mining, hydrocompaction, natural compaction, sinkholes, and thawing permafrost. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidence
That sounds smart enough, I'll go with it.
That's pretty rocky ground for that. Anything is possible!
Thanks Luke for all theses videos, it sure does help pass the time. Thank you so much for thinking of everyone. Stay safe brother
Good that your getting lots of fresh air and explaining your locatio a well without having to guess like on other channels.Best wishes from England👍🇬🇧
Heck yea. Just in time for my lunch break! Thanks Luke
Great video Luke see yea next Thursday
The joys of playing hunt the trail lol. Still a nice hike in a beautiful area.
No need to "spice it up". Some of us unhappy city dwellers are happy just to see water flowing in creeks.
This was an awesome way to spend my night....
That pit looks like a rifle pit from the civil war. I used to be a civil war reenactor and at times we would run across these in the woods. It was awesome to set a skirmish line and man one of these relics from the men we were paying tribute to.
Luke, I was on a hike in the deep woods once and found a hole in the ground similar to the one you found. A few yards from the hole was some old barrels with ax marks in them. After I got home I asked my Grandad what he thought that might have been and he told me it was an old moonshine still that had been busted up by the sheriff's dept. years ago. Could be what you found too.
Agreed. Alot of these where I grew up.
Thanks for another great adventure Luke. Watching this video get my hiking juices flowing. Makes me want to get out there and explore unknown destinations. Just to get away from all this craziness for awhile.
You'll never find the entrance to that trail without the magic chant
Man... I am Glad you took a break, I was getting tired ! Whew... lol As Always my friend, thumbs up... Peace.
Dude Big Lol, I’m so glad I’m not the only one who gets tired. I tell him to slow down just a little.... I just can’t keep up. Going along is a lot of though. 😂😂 👍
Thanks Luke:) from us hunkering down at home :) Looking forward too trekking Thursdays :)
Man I can't wait to get back out in the woods after this Virius blows over. For now Im camping on my property to stay safe. At least its better than nothing for now. Stay safe brother. Cant wait for more videos. Take care Stength And Honor!!!! 💪💪
Hey Luke love the adventures! Really like it when you show were you are going on the map.
What a great adventure 😊beautiful forest
May you and yours stay safe and well. Thank you for the video, it really does help.
When I was in the Boy Scouts we would do trail clearing and marking, but we have become to lazy. It is a sad day that these kids are living indoors over half their life.
We did the same. Plus charity service. I was raised "in the city" Going out to the woods was awesome. Never attained Eagle. No big deal. I learned much.
@Aidan Donnelly does it matter?
i dont think we ever did that in my day, tho i DID live in FL at the time in the 90s
@Alex wow take your bs somewhere else, you are probably one of those indoor kids not really living life.
@Alex
Ok zoomer
Best wishes and good health to you and your family Luke.
Hello Luke, Family And Friends Be Safe 🙏🏾🙏🏾😷😷 Yes We Are Exploring, Not Knowing Where We Going 🏕🏕💪🏽💪🏽🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love the black tent, great for those more posh overnight adventures... lol
Growing up in Manitoba, I always appreciate seeing you make a hot beverage and a crackling 🔥. Thank You.
Outstanding. Enjoying the videos!
Nice quick on the fly response on the ......Viiiiirussssss.
Black tents are like black leather seats in a car. They look cool....then comes summer!
“Land of a thousand fallen trees” -definitely ✅
The depression in the ground is probably the place where an old tree has fallen down or been blown over and what's left has been taken away or rotted.
Good stuff my friend. Stay safe amd keep the videos coming
You are so lucky to be able to enjoy such beautiful and isolated woodland in the USA.
Here in the UK it is harder to get away from people and enjoy nature in that way.
Thanks for posting Luke.
let the apocalypse adventure begin!
I have a Biblical timeline for what is coming for the tribulation if anyone is interested. And many of the deceptions to look out for..and how to be saved. For one..don't take this vaccine..it's looking like itll be a quantum dot dissolvable patch on the hand and is the mark of the beast.
@@someoneofgods2620 You have lost your mind!
You Too Luke Be Safe 🙏🏾🙏🏾😷😷😷😷See You Sunday 🤗🤗🤗
Love your vids, keep up the awesome work!
Another great hiking video! Thanks for taking us for the walk. Be safe and enjoy nature! Cheers
Luke: Has trekking poles. Uses stick to cross stream. XD
As for what you found, that looks like a Sasquatch Sleeping Bag. You fill it with leaves and you can sleep warm all night by burying yourself except for your face.
Really enjoy going along with you on these adventures, can't wait for the next one!! Safe travels!!
Hello Luke, thank you for sharing another fun filled adventurous outing. I look forward to the next exciting outing. Take care, be safe, have fun and stay Healthy. 🤗
Wow! Loved those howls at 17:55! And no, never saw a black tent
they found a hole like that on an island in Canada and they have been digging for 200 years trying to figure it out...
Great video, hope this finds you and your family well..Thanks for Sharing!!
Looks to maybe be an air shaft to a mine.Great job again Luke.
You know, I can't help but to think how much work goes into making these videos. Take the scenes of you just walking by, placing and then retrieving the camera and then the editing work to stitch it all together to make a pretty good video. I had subscribed to your channel a while back then noticed while watching this video that I wasn't subscribed. Oh well resubscribed and all is well. Keep up the good work Luke, your dedication shows in the quality of your videos. Stay safe in these trying times my friend, wishing you Susie and the family all the best from Canada. Thanx for the great content.
Luke, I am always intrigued with the amount of stuff that comes out of your backpack!! It is like a virtual hardware store.
Always relaxing to watch you hiking on those trails. Keep safe.
Great video as usual. That tent looks awesome !
God bless you. We all needed this
Did anyone else notice that Luke sometimes speaks without moving his lips? It's as if he just thinks the words and we hear them. Pretty cool, Luke.
The depression in the ground that you found looks like something was buried their. This is what it usually looks like after you dig up the ground and, then replace the soil over whatever has been buried. Weapons cache, survival stash? - Body? If it's a body you can keep it but, if it is a weapons cache or survival stash you have to split it with me. Garrett Doyle By the way I watch your show a lot as I am disabled and, have time on my hands. Good show!
The name Inyo is Shoshone I believe, and happens to be one of counties the Sequoia National Forest and Mt. Whitney is located. (California)
17:36 That deep impression filled with leaves is a typical Big Foot or Sasquatch nest. They often dig impressions in the ground, and then fill with leaves and or small evergreen branches to make a bed. I saw these myself. Did not know what they were until I did my own research some 50 years later. My siblings and I accidentally were tree knocking with one as children, and doing "whoop whoops" with one, accidentally leaving it peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. IT would leave us small piles of pretty rocks. This happened over a 10 year period of time in the Coastal Rain Forest near a camp grounds, in a restricted area. It made the forest rangers nervous we went up there, chargringed we never got hurt, and never SAW anything, but upset them when we told them about our activities, and tree knocking. Fifty years later now I know why. Now I know why there were shifts of forest rangers patrolling the camp grounds 24/7 in groups of three in these little carts. I swear one of them always had a riffle slung on his back. YET there was never any mention of bears. So they were patrolling the camping area to make sure the LOCAL big foot stayed in the resricted area. They aer shy aminals and avoid humans at all costs. apparently enjoy children and do not bother them. I guess. YOU tell me. All I know is what WE experienced for more than 10 years. But one thing I do remember too, is seeing two of these beds! WE never messed with them either. Good thing.
if you do not mess with them, they will leave you alone. For someone who does not believe in them, your videos continue to show proof that you are not alone in the woods. But the way you conduct yourself, you are safe. AS you respect the forest, so if a Big Foot did come to your camp it would be out of curiosity, and not to harm you. So I would ignore it, and not respond to it, other than to leave it a present of peanut butter. It would appreciate the gesture of friendship. It might leave you a present.
Good catch on the hole!
So many people don’t even look for anomalies on the ground.
Moonshine still hole. I grew up in the Francis Marion Forrest in the Low Country of SC. There are a lot of these man made holes throughout the Carolinas and Georgia. Moonshiners would build their stills in a hole to minimize/hide the profile of the still. We had a horse farm with several of these just inside the woodline. I once found a double barrel shot gun leaning against a a tree next to one of these holes.
Me ,you,the two owls and that old gravesite 👻☠😂😂
luke you and the wife are a breath of fresh air in today's chaotic world,love the content,i can relax and unwind and feel like im with you out in nature watching your videos
Thanks for another mister!
Great hike loved watching this is so peaceful out there .:) Love to see your next trail.:) I loved the owls so beautiful hearing them. :) I lay at night in bed and I hear them before I drift off to sleep I feel like they sing me to sleep on owl lulluaby. :) When I was young our mom and dad took us to shores lake to camp in tents and hike to white mountain so beautiful in summer and early wintertime. :) Have a great time be safe and stay healthy. :) Hugs Toni g. :) P.S. Would love to know more and see what Susie knits up from time to time love yarn crafts.:) Hugs and love to you both awesome family. :)
That hole is a type of dugout. It's a really strenuous way of keeping out of the wind but hey... More power to them.
Maybe an old homesites out house depression? Stay safe my friend, and keep the vids coming as long as you can
Another great video. That is a shallow grave. No two ways about it. It appears they never got to use it or it has long since been evacuated...but that was meant to conceal a body.
Great travels with you.
That hole looks to be like a fox hole like some men dug in there was there any battles in the civil war near there ?
Agree - possibly a "Rifle Pit" from revolutionary or civil war.
I agree, it looks similar to the pits at Wildcat Mountain".
150-250 years ago with all that snow ,rain and mud over that time would have filled it in besides there is wild grasses growing all around it and even into the edges but not in the hole. That thing is 6-9 mos old tops
@ I beg to differ Dave. My dad (79) and I (47) live in north Ga and have marked many trenches that look identical and we also have Civil War maps of battles and camp locations. So no, they would not be filled in.
@ And it's only been 150 yrs since the Civil War
I have a black Hillebeg Anjan 2. Great video thanks. Stay safe...finding it hard to stay indoor here in the UK as we have lockdown. x
Those depressions you see are likely caused from limestone below-ground fracturing due to water seeping into cracks and causing the Limestone to break apart Underground. Once that breaks apart there's nothing left supporting the soil above it, and it sinks creating a hole. It's very common here in Indiana. We see it all the time and that is what is causing it.
yeah I do a lot of bushwacking and off trail hiking. Sharpens my land nav skills. Compass and my topo are my tools of choice, hardly ever use my gps unless I have really messed up.
The 'Hilton' Creek Trail....😂😂😂. Helton, Luke. Helton. 😜
I like the black tent. I bet it stays good and dark in the mornings.
Great video as always. It would be great to see a review of outdoor shoes, especially those to accommodate with soaked or muddy soils. Take care and stay safe!
The hole in the woods. Maybe a cellar hole from an old house a hundred or two hundred years ago. That plot of land looks like a great place to have built a house. I do a lot of treasure hunting (metal detecting), and that’s what came to my mind when I saw it.
Judging on the hole size, it's an old grave site that has been dug up, grave robbing used to be much more common. People would get buried with jewelry and other valuables often near where they died and later someone would come back and dig it up. Being in a hurry or lazy they would partially fill the hole back in.
It's the remains of an old sawpit, they can be visible for centuries after use. Two sawyers would operate the pit using a cross cut saw, one below the log (in the pit), and the other, called "top dog", above the log. Originally it would have been much deeper, but they silt up with time.
Hiking and camping are great ways to do social distancing.
The picture quality of that camera is incredible
I love how you make the national forest trails seem like backcountry danger lol
Thanks for doing these videos during these strange times.
Awesome video update 👍🌲
Luke I think you should try to follow the spur.Trust your instincts. See if you can find your way back to the main trail and then to the parking lot. You & banana Susie stay well!
The hole looks like a "Kelly Hole". In northern Wisconsin they are left over from logging operations. A kind of borrow pit to fill in another low spot. I am not sure but, Kelly probably got the short stick, and had to do all the crap jobs. Keep up the great job!
When the president says everyone inside for ten weeks , no more hiking except in your living room . You can hike back and forth thru all the rooms because you will be bored. I’m in lockdown and have been almost two weeks. I’m already bored. I’ve got lots of reading material tho. I collect books. Good luck and stay safe from covid19.
