    That is an awesome place. The fall colors were just stunning.

      Thanks! It's only about a 3 hour drive for us. The Porcupine Mountains is a very good area to go backpacking with 90 miles of trails. The mountains are small, but it's a beautiful area next to Lake Superior.

      uptrail71 people, even me sometimes, get hung up on the size of the mountains, when what really matters is the quality of the views.

      Thanks Roger! This is a very beautiful area in the fall. Are the leaves starting to change colors in your area? You should make a video from your house when they change color. Take care and get well soon!

      They are starting to change and this weekend I'm getting out for a small hike (small walk not hike) and I will be posting a video next week

    Another great video. The colors are really popping there in the UP. Your dog is super cute. Hope he tags along on more trips with you.

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! The colors are beautiful. We made his first backpack trip a short hike. I'm sure that he will come with us again.

    It looks like you planned that trip for the perfect time. Looks like peak colors at that time. I live down in the Grand Rapids area and it's still quite green down here, but it'll be peak very soon.

    Thank you for your TH-cam videos it's Bring Back great memories of when I used to live in Michigan I now live in Southern California San Diego area sometimes I miss the simple life of living in Michigan thank you for the memories I live in Detroit then Port Huron from 1960 two 1985 and moved to California thank you keep up the good work love your videos

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank You for the nice comments! Michigan is a beautiful state and the Porcupine Mountains is only a three hour drive for us. Last summer we drove out to Wyoming for the first time and someday we will make it out to California.

      You are welcome .I Just started to camping again last year My friends call it Glamping because I need all the amenities I haven't got interfold wilderness camping yet or hiking like we used to do my family and I in Michigan by watching your videos it inspires me to get back out there again

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Backpacking is our favorite, but we still do some car camping. Getting out into the woods is what's all about. Nothing wrong with having some extra amenities!

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      This was a relaxing low mileage trip with the beautiful fall colors. Nothing like my 32 miles in 24 hours hike last summer at the same place.

  • @BluecollarBackcountry
    @BluecollarBackcountry 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow! I haven't seen colors like that since I lived near the Ozarks a few years back. Very beautiful. I saw a comment you made on another channel so I thought I would check you out and glad I did. Gave you a sub and look forward to catching up. Really nice.

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the sub! The U.P. of Michigan has some of the most beautiful fall colors. It takes a little longer to change color along Lake Superior.

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! I really like the Manistee River area and Houghton Lake. Are the leaves changing color in your area yet? We live more in the central U.P. and most of our leaves are gone.

    • @lifewithlauramichels6701
      @lifewithlauramichels6701 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      uptrail71 the leaves down in my area are changing slowly

    Flipping beautiful I think Michigan is one of the best states in the country for fall colors!!! Lucky you I am jealous!

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Mike! I'll be thinking about you in January when we are freezing. lol Northern Michigan is beautiful in the fall

    Man, awesome hike and colors Bob. Glad to see your wife making her TH-cam appearances more often. Lol

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The dog stole the show! lol I'm glad that she likes backpacking. She also helps a lot around camp. The Porcupine Mountains is one of the best areas to go backpacking. You get 90 miles of trails with high cliffs, Lake Superior, streams, waterfalls and many developed campsites or you can set up camp with a few restrictions almost anywhere.

  • @southpawbushcraft7522
    @southpawbushcraft7522 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of my favorite places to visit. I haven't camped there yet but have been on that look out many times and hiked there. Next summer I'm going to camp there! What an awesome camp site you had. GREAT video!

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      They have cabins available to rent. We want to give that a try someday. I recommend going during the dry time of the season.

    It's funny because none of our trees have changed yet. And I'm not that far south of you. Great looking trip

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most of our leaves are gone now except near Lake Superior. The water is warmer than the air at night. We had a few nights in the 20's, but our house is inland. Lake Superior is 90 miles from us.

    What a beautiful place, man that was an awesome VR. Thank you so much for sharing and you got yourself a new sub. The sunrise hitting those yellow trees was unreal and the overlook was breathtaking. Feel free to check out my neck of the woods VR for the KY Woodsman.

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! What a perfect spot to setup camp to watch the sunset and rise. The sunrise was amazing shining on the cliffs. I'll check out your video.

    Hi camping By myself I don't drive to to get places for camping places have to take the bus or train or walk buddy friends take me then I can go car camping have done both I've noticed that I still have a bad habit overpacking I'm learning to let go into PowerClass I still have a hard time with this but I'm working on it but I enjoy going camping and regional Park campgrounds right now thank you for your response I continue to watch your videos on TH-cam

  • @potatothorn
    @potatothorn 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    wow you got that one up fast! this is looking sharp, and the fall colors are Amazing. 65F is nice, good deal on the weather. I'll have to watch this again tmrw with Roxana she will love all these shots of the leaves looks like you got it near the peak. Love that you show a way to use birch bark without hurting the tree, too many people strip the bark right off. The place i get fuel tabs switched to the esbit cubes. they are good, i might upgrade to the esbit stove, so far still using them with the fold a stove. Excellent views at the lookout!

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Tell Roxana that I said hi! Maybe someday we'll meet up somewhere in the future. I really like my esbit stove setup. We will still use the alcohol and propane stoves on a few trips.

    • @potatothorn
      @potatothorn 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yep/ we just watched it again Roxana LOVES this one so many nice colors.. and your dog is really neat too

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He was overall good in the hammock. My wife just watched this video for the first time. I'll have to get her doing stuff at camp in more videos. Maybe even talking more!

    • @potatothorn
      @potatothorn 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      uptrail71
      yeah was wondering how the dog dealt with being in the hammock good thing he's small! .. and ha - Roxana says she wants to be more like your wife, avoiding the camera...

  • @Nerding4Nature
    @Nerding4Nature 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Beautiful fall colours! They are not anywhere near as nice here. How was the dog in the hammock?

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      My wife went to bed in her hammock about 20 minutes before me and the dog slept with her. Overall he did very good! He only moved around a little maybe 2 or 3 times.

  • @KBAYARD
    @KBAYARD 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    is your wife camera shy or just wanted in a few states? lol, her face does not make it in any videos.
    great videos

    • @uptrail7169
      @uptrail7169  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Maybe a little camera shy! lol You do see her more in the Cloud Peak Wyoming video. The fall colors are beautiful and the campsite was perfect. This was a nice relaxing trip with the dog. He did very good for his first time.

  • @JonBoyMilitaria
    @JonBoyMilitaria 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video. I love how clear your camera is.. I just posted a new video on my youtube titled "Why I Collect Military Stuff".. If you get a chance, I would greatly appreciate it if you watched it and let me know what you think. I believe it is my best video ever. I am really happy about how it turned out. Thanks for your support.
