Red River Gorge is a great place! I appreciate Rob pointing out that LNT is not a collection of rules. This is something I recently addressed in a video myself. Too many people use LNT principles as an excuse to berate others on social media.
@@BackpackingWithJason there was a portion of a rope in the seam and one on a pine tree. I have a pic of the rope looking up actually on my Instagram and FB account. May have been the same one if it hadn’t been replaced. Think it may have been a lighter color greenish rope. Took the best sunset pics I’ve ever captured there. Breathtaking.
Auxier Ridge is a extraordinary trail, beautiful vistas all around. I've stayed under stargap arch once during a thunderstorm and stayed warm and dry. Double arch is amazing. I never saw snakehead rock when I went there, I must have walked right by it! I recognized Courthouse rock on the thumbnail right away... Courthouse rock has a little gap on the side my friends climbed all the way on top of it but I was too chicken to follow them! Great memories there and love to see you living it up in the RRG!
Thank you so much. Auxier Ridge is a big playground for adults. I can’t get up Courthouses Rock either. It’s to sketchy for me. Thanks for watching and have a good evening
1st group backpacking trip I took was Indian Staircase, and it was only my second time doing it. Definitely a fun one that I will never forget. Maybe one day I'll run into Jason on the trail or even plan a trip together!!!
Another great trip in the Red River Gorge... You are the best tour guide in that range. LNT sounds great, I was surprised on how much trash was there back in October. Our motto is... pack it in, pack it out. Pick up trash on trail, pays for the stay. Great video. Thank you for sharing. Take care Jason. 🇺🇲
I've camped at that spot before in the star gap area, its a beauty. I need to get the Red before it gets too hot. Looked like a good time with good friends.
always good to be in the Gorge with you, thanks for taking us along// hope it gets green soon and you take us there for a warmer hike though / MN guy is tougher than us hahaha
@@BackpackingWithJason 5moreminutes is a guy who is out here, lives in warm sunny SoCal/ goes up on the mtns and camps in every snow storm hahaha some people are nuts
Or a paddle on a lake. I splurged and bought a slightly used Nova Craft canoe. The seller brought it all the way from SC , when I mentioned I was dealing with treatment for a brain tumor. I offered to pay for the gas, but he refused to accept my money.
Please check out LNT.ORG
They have a lot of good information on there
Two of my favorite hiking brothers!
Right back at you brother 👊🏻
Jason, the great Kentucky tour guide. Good job leaving no trace. 👍
Thank you my friend
Beautiful my friend ❤❤❤👍👍👍👍🌺🌺🌺🌺👋👋👋👋
Thank you 😁
@@BackpackingWithJason ❤❤❤👍👍👍👍
What a fantastically fun trip. Thanks for the good times man. Great video! Cheers.
Thank you Rob for a fun few days. I always have a blast hanging out with you. You are always a joy to be around my friend
You tell em my friend… Leave no Trace!✌️
Red River Gorge, Kentucky.
📍Indigenous land of the Ani'-Yun'wiya' (Cherokee) people.
I always like to imagine what it was like for the Native Americans to see the RRG before roads or swinging bridges etc….
Fantastic looking tour my friend! This looks just great 👏👏
Thank you. My little slice of heaven here in Kentucky
Loved it! Kudos to Rob for representing, Leave No Trace!
Rob was a blast!!!
That sunset the first night was killer. Rob is definitely living life.
What a fun trip. I always enjoy watching the RRG.
Take care!
Thank you my friend. Rob is a joy to be around. He is living his best life right now
Man, I'm bummed that I missed out on that trip! Bees have gone insane this year! Full month ahead of schedule, and they aren't letting up!
The bees have been wild this year. My hammock was swarmed by them a few weeks ago
You made the Indian Staircase loop look like I could do it.
You can John. Next time at the RRG we are going to do it 😁
@BackpackingWithJason Sounds good to me. Thanks Jason.
We try to get that message across at every place we go. LOL everyone is crazy.
Everyone is crazy 😂😂😂
That was a whole lot of exploring right there! Great meetup too. Beautiful area. Can't wait to come back in the next few years. Have a great day.
I’d love to show you more of the RRG. Hopefully I can get to Utah. It’s my bucket list destination
@@BackpackingWithJason That would be awesome if you made it to Utah too. I'll reserve some dates to hike with you when you do. Heck yeah!
Excellent video! Good info and outstanding scenery, thanks.
Thank you. Beautiful area to have some fun in
What an awesome opportunity for Rob and the Mrs.! And another great trip video in RRG! Thanks for sharing bud!
Thank you. Rob is a blast to hangout with. Lots of fun

Rob does a great job on LNT. I think he’s doing a great job for them
Wow, this was an amazing hike, very beautiful wildlife!
Thanks Moby. It was a beautiful area
Looked like a great hike as always Jason!

Thanks Billy B. Had a blast
Cool tour of the place. Love the views.
Thanks Rod. It’s a beautiful area for backpacking fun
Stayed at Cloud Splitter Saturday night and made it to Indian Staircase Sunday. Amazing weather and was perfect this past weekend!
Was there a rope at Cloud Splitter? I put one there about a year ago but someone took it. Lol. Those were some awesome spots you went to

Indian staircase is fun every time I do it. Give me a holler next time you’ll be around the RRG

Thank you brother. We had some fun at the staircase area.
👍👍
Thank you 😁
RRG on my bucket list.
It’s definitely worth seeing

I love camping at that spot on Stargap side. It’s a beautiful time to be in the RRG right now
Loved the video man!
Thanks Ryan. Can’t wait to hangout with you this summer
👍
Thank you. It was a fun trip
always good to be in the Gorge with you, thanks for taking us along// hope it gets green soon and you take us there for a warmer hike though / MN guy is tougher than us hahaha
It’s getting really green around here right now.
Those Minnesota guys go camping in -20 degrees. That’s crazy to me 😂😂

That is definitely a place with a lot of great hiking. Seeing the video makes me long for my pre-brain tumor life. Day 78 of the new chemo.🤙
Praying for you my friend 🙏. I hope we can do a hike together one day

@@ReasontoLiveAdventuressounds good to me. I’m ready to get my kayak out
Hey brother. I told Stringer to pass my number on to you. I got something good for you when i come back down that way. When you getting back out?
Thanks Jason. I’ve been swamped with work and get out when I can. When are you coming back to the RRG?
@@BackpackingWithJason Within the next 2 weeks for sure.
@@BackpackingWithJason Only takes me 2 hour exactly to get to slade. I'm a little over a hour north of Lex. I'm good to go whenever.
i'm so jealous right now it's not funny.
It sure was a lot of fun with incredible views
