Backpacking & Bourbon: Battling Cold & Rain in Red River Gorge | Daniel Boone National Forest

- The time finally came where we got to go on a backpacking trip with the legendary David Gray, and his (now ours!) buddy Travis.
We had been itching to get back down to Red River Gorge to do a PROPER backpacking trip, and hit the sights and sounds of Gray's arch, Hanson's point, the Sheltowee Trace, and other picturesque places in Daniel Boone National Forest. Additionally, we hit up the Buffalo Trace distillery on the way down, to grab some trip "essentials" that would create a true Kentucky experience.
We spend two nights in the gorge with David and Travis, battling sub-freezing temperatures and constant rain, yet still managing to have a great time - we love Red River Gorge!
Be sure to check out David's video too, as well as his channel

As always another great video, adventure and review of some great hiking kit. I just bought a hammock to thru hike the AT this year in April. I was on the Lite AF sight and did not see those tarps for sale, those looked on point! Loved the Bourbon as the x factor on the trek! Keep up the solid work and keep posting! Much Respect!
Guess Kevin had a little too much bourbon 😂. What a great trip!
Great video and channel.Enjoyed it very much.Looking forward for more.ATB:Soren
This video is getting me excited for fall and winter hiking at the Gorge! Need to bring some bourbon with me next time. Great video guys!
Great video guys slow mos so smooth
Thanks!
My hometown of Frankfort.
Great Video. Schill Bros and David Gray make for great content. Shout out to Travis rocking the Flying WV lid. Go Eers!
It is also awesome that you have David Gray and the dogs
And Dave Gray's friend with you all
Guys, im so jealous...hiking with Mr. David Gray...c'mon man. Thats not fair. Lol. What a cool hike and to top it off with hiking with the dogs. So cool. Love y'alls videos. Keep them coming. It keeps me pumped for my next adventure.
Thanks so much Jason!
Pushing thru the cold and wet of winter! Question is, did you guys get a pizza afterwards? We noticed David grabbing one prior!
Sadly no, we got breakfast it was too early for pizza
Bourbon tours. Backpacking. David Gray. Dogs. Gray's and Hansen's. Miguel's. Man my envious bone hurts!!
Life is good sometimes...
Backpacking with Jason is the man!!! Excellent advise and a hell of a guy. Looking forward to returning the advice when we hit Pictured Rocks in May!
Hello my hiking friends, sincere thanks for sharing another classic fun outing brought to you by
SBO. It looks like you gentlemen had too much fun as usual. As usual, great filming and narrating. It was good to see David, Travis and the two canines. You had some great traveling companions on this outing. All the best to you guys and your families. Take care, be safe and always continue having too much fun. 🤗
Backpacking with Jason !! Jason is awesome !
He sure is!
Fantastic video, guys! It is so cool to see the hike we did from a different perspective. The way you put together the different clips you both took is really great, and all the various angles makes me anxious to steal (err... reuse!) some of the shots you get. The video was great, but more importantly it was a great hike with a fantastic hiking team. Loved it! Thank you.
It was great hiking with you David! Loved every moment
You had me at bourbon ....
Hahahaha
Great trip... Great group of people and dogs. Bourbon on the trail can make for a late start in the morning. Batoning the wood does help with the fire burning, especially when it's wet. Jason is a good dude, would love to head out that way to hike the trails with all you guys. Thank you for sharing, take care.
those kangaroo pouches are great for cameras but i am always afraid people on the trail will think i have a weird tumor or ate a lampshade or something
Enjoyed this one ... so sorry you had so much rain! Love all those places to camp at Hanson's point. A hammock dream site!! Thanks for sharing!
yes! There is even a HF group hang there!
Nice trip. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mark!
Another great adventure! Love the dogs. Take Care and Keep Exploring The Outdoors.
Fun video! It’s great that both of you film. It’s nice watching the same trip from different perspectives. Can’t wait to see your future videos 👍
Me and a buddy did a rainy one nighter there over Thanksgiving weekend. Camping at what looks like the same spot as you guys by Hansen's point. It's interesting how many spots to hang you saw, as I was so worried about widow makers there. I'm still learning and may just be overly cautious though. Wondered if you saw some of that too?
Edit: After looking at your video and David Gray's too, you guys def camped in the same spot. Kevin's foot end of his hammock was one of the same trees I used. Good to know I should trust the trees more and not be SOO judgmental, lol.
I actually didn’t see that many, we take that seriously and look hard
@@SchillBrothersOutdoors Yeah, Im pretty sure I saw your video on the topic. I should've said I'm inexperienced and "paranoid" about it. Fall/winter feels tough too bc I'm not sure if it's dead or just lost all it's leaves.
I have this on my list, can't wait.
In Kentucky we love the B’s. Basketball and Bourbon and Bluegrass and Backpacking . I love that you guys got to see some of the RRG. So cool that David F’N Gray was with you guys too. Awesome trip guys.
Hahahaha David F’n Grey!
Why do I always feel like I've been over served while watching a SBO video?
Do you recall what brand the “little pump” (lol) was? I could see that being a nice luxury item
Backpacking & Bourbon is a classic title. The two go hand in hand. Nice video Schills.
Thanks!!!
Did I miss you guys sharing your itinerary? I was doing homework with the video on in the background, but I don’t remember hearing it. I’d like to make a trip down to RRG, but don’t have an itinerary yet
SBO and D Gray. Don’t get no better than that.
Definitely a highlight for us!
Looked like a great weekend. Before you get on the trail, hit up the Sky Bridge Station for a loaded hummus and a Kentucky IPA, it fortifies you for the hike, and they do not serve beer on Sundays.
Thanks Ron, I’ve seen that place! We will be going there in future for sure!
If you ever want to push yourself mileage wise down there,try the "Turkey Trail" its definitely a difficult but rewarding experience,I done a video on it recently at "Addicted to Adventure" Also good idea doing bear hangs! I've pushed a bear on the trail in november for the thanksgiving hike, and this last time I was down there during new years! Their populations are increasing in the gorge.
Love the gorge. Drug a group of 20 scouts on an 11 slog in the rain there a couple years ago across some swollen creeks. Good ups and downs to be had for sure. Also rain on a tarp is the best sleep sound ever... so jealous.
Thanks Jared!!!
Another great video guys. Keep them coming!!
Thanks!
Kevin where did you start for the backpacking trip!?
I have to say you guys have really changed your filming style to way more cinematic style! I really love it! It looked awesome 👍👍👍🌳🌳🌳📸📸📸!
Thanks so much Deb! We appreciate you being along for the ride!
One day i'll make it out there. Looks like good times!
Thanks!!!
Good video. You guys hit some good spots
That was one of the best shot intros I've seen. A very well done video. Glad you guys had a great time. Bad weather hiking is still better than a good day at work!
Absolutely!
I love the Red River Gorge I live about 30 minutes from there. Planning a trip to grays arch soon.
Great video!
That’s awesome Teddy!
Glad you got down there again! I'll be down this weekend and I'm super stoke for some "backpacking with Jason" inspired dinner 😎. I'm going to work on some vlogging too. Cant wait!
Are you eating bear????
@@SchillBrothersOutdoors lol no! Definitely steak inspired though!
Yet another enjoyable video. Did you guy happen to to have a GPS track of this route as I'd like to get to this area sometime in the future. Thanks for taking us along.
We used the hiking project app and downloaded the Daniel Boone map and just did a small loop from the greys arch trail head to Hansen’s point and back. It’s a free app and the trails are all there.
When do those liteaf tarps become available for sale?
I’m jealous of that bottle of Weller. They’re unobtanium around here.
Here too!!! Travis has been saving it
Love you all, but my favorite backpacker is Bailey Rose. What a great trip.
I was enjoying the SBO trip video when the notification popped up for David’s video. You all made my evening!
(Is that the notorious green buff?)
Hi Lisa. Replacement green buff - sacrificed the original to the Mohican Ohio TH-cam meetup! I bought a new one but it's a different, more bluish, color. But then I realized I actually bought two of the original 'army green' color way back when (no longer available, apparently). It just needs a bit of 'aging' but it should be fine.
David, I kept my eyes peeled for it at the meet-up. I was hoping you had found it somewhere. Oh well, glad you have another.
Hahahaha glad we made your evening Lisa!
What is the hoodie Andy is wearing?
Ba ha ha David said “little pump” the Bourbon is a flowin.
Yeah there was definitely a bunch of unreleased video from that trip....
Is he gonna make more of those tarps because they don't show up at all on the LiteAF website ?
Try the Thai Curry from Good To Go! It's fantastic on its own but if you put a little Sriracha in their takes it to the next level.
Will do!
Bear bag in winter? Thought they were sleeping
What tarp sock are you guys using? And how do you like them?
Facebags!
Heck yes!
Is this your tenth time at red River gorge just curious
All footage is fantastic. I know that much
Ha - it feels like it, but only our second :)
No sweet and spicy Doritos?
Hahaha winter gear is so bulky we don’t have lots of room, had to roll with Fritos this time
Don't bring glass in go the forrest please.
Kevin I forgot to ask what outer shell are you using as a raincoat
Arcterix shell
Guys, this was my favorite video by you. I've been flowing from the start of yalls channel. This really reminds me of some of my backpacking trips. We always bring bourbon and cigars! The only difference is, we hike pretty big miles when we go. Looks like you guys had a great time and I enjoyed watching this vid.
Thanks so much! Some trips we crush miles and some trips we just like to enjoy good company! Thanks for the kind words
Did you all go out to the end of the point for the sunrise? Prob one of my favorite places and best views of the gorge.
Not for sunrise unfortunately
~10:12 - Wait Bullit is crap? I better upgrade the ol liquor cabinet!
It’s not crap, but it’s not Weller antique either!
@@SchillBrothersOutdoors I'll give it a shot! What others did you try / buy / recommend? RRG is on our list to do this year - thanks for the videos.
We’re bourbon newbs - anything distilled at buffalo trace is a good start (buff trace, eagle rare, Weller, eh Taylor)
@@SchillBrothersOutdoors Can't beat Buffalo Trace - best value out there. Just tried Bowman Brothers from Virginia and Russell's Reserve (Russel family is Master Distillers for Wild Turkey). Good, but I'd still take the cheaper BT. If I can find Weller, I'll try it.
How many miles did you do each day? I am hoping to make it down there this year but will have kids with us that includes a 3-year old. Because of that, we have to keep it under 5 miles/day. - Brandy
It was low, total a bit over 10. Maybe 5/6 on Saturday?
less, face takes up 60% of frame while a finger wiggles to point out a blurry subject of narration, just turn camera and film it or place audio under b-roll. Otherwise RRG is great, and those tarps look super cool!
Good video but i have an important advice for you... when you are filming, please don't look at you in the screen but look at us through the lens ... it will be more natural ! Thanks ;)
Fix the dogs pack!
David eventually corrected it. Had to redo the weighting
We all actually fixed it constantly. The Ruffwear pack is really sensitive to weight imbalance. I finally got tired of constantly adjusting it, and spent some time to get the weight balance correct - after that it was all good. Regardless of the pack 'situation' it never seems to both Bailey one bit.
Geeze fix that dog's backpack for goodness sake! 15:19
Nice content fellas 👌. Please look into the Lens when you’re talking though . It feels impersonal and makes you look vain . More scenery less of your face 😬
Never!!!
