I just saw this! What an awesome adventure. You and your sister are adorable and will surely be great stewards of the great outdoors. Pass it on like those who helped you :)
You did great Emily! Perseverance will get you a long ways in life. The Texas Parks & Wildlife camera man needed to make an appearance. He did a great job.
Awesome job! So did you have to cross any ridge lines? And what was your gear list? And super Duper amazing good job in the enthusiasm you showed? Was that every day as well when you weren’t filming?
I love this video. Especially when you were so tired and then your family met up with you. I’ve never done a long hike. I want to do this one. Is late fall the best t8me, 8n your opinion? Good going on this one! Oh, how many snakes did you see?
I lived in Huntsville until I was nine. If I had had a choice I would have stayed. My mother would always take me to Huntsville State Park to swim. I never went on the trails though but this makes me want to but I think I would stick to to the tent instead of the hammock for overnight sleeping.
35 years ago. The trail was established and I could see the metal markers. It was over grown, step 10 feet off the trail, you have lost it. Today, its perfect with the help of volunteers.
There's still a few of the original triangle markers on the trail in a few spots. It was hard to indicate a change in trail direction with a equilateral triangle, so rectangle markers are used now.
March after a particularly wet Spring. She skipped the end of the trail, Winters Bayou section as it is very flat, mostly in flood plains, and water can stand on the trail in spots. A bayou and river crossing over long bridges makes it scenic, but can be wet.
There are many "loops" on the Lone Star Hiking Trail(LSHT), West of FM 149. t can be accessed by using LSHT Trailhead # 1, 2, 3, or 4 Study maps and take a map with you... Get map at lonestartrail.org/maps/medium/01wilderness_sc.pdf The LSHT in Black, Little Lake Creek Trail (outer loop) in orange. Use several crossover trails between the LSHT & LLCT to create a loop. Deer hunting season you must camp in established primitive campsite. Info at www.lonestartrail.org
Emily, happen to know your pack weight at the start? Did you cache water or filter it every time? And did you bring food for the entire trip or cache/resupply? Thanks! Cool video
NENi ONER, I hiked with Emily some. She filtered and cached gallon jugs of water at road crossings. She did resupply with food at Huntsville state park. I can't remember her pack weight exactly, but I remember thinking it was heavy.
Always cache water. The LSHT can be dry, at times, on the Kelley, Phelps, Big Woods, & Tarkington sections. Having too much clean water in a very good problem.
Tip: on open exposed areas like the road she had to walk on bring a lightly colored long sleeve dry fit shirt and fisher's hat and bandana or shemagh (for the back of your neck) to protect your skin from the sun and you'll feel a lot less hot
Simon Leicester , The Lone Star Hiking Trail is a foot trail only. There are multi-use trails in the Sam Houston National Forest that you could go bike-packing. Go to www.samhoustontrails.org for information about the multi-use trails.
Thank you for the confirmation.... I was hoping for a different answer, but wasn't hopeful of a different answer :-). was looking for long distance peaceful bikepacking opportunity, the multi -use (gas powered) area is probably not what I'm looking for..... thanks for your feedback.
Teaching women to put themselves in danger...and now or later in life it catches up with them as lawlessness grows all around.....but it makes money, yeah. The woods, alone, are dangerous enough for men.

What a blessing to have a sister to share the hike with. Yall are awesome!
That's cool and all but who was recording her while she was walking? The camera was moving, but she kept remarking that she was alone.
astonishing upload Texas Parks and Wildlife. I crushed that thumbs up on your video. Maintain up the first-rate work.
I just saw this! What an awesome adventure. You and your sister are adorable and will surely be great stewards of the great outdoors. Pass it on like those who helped you :)
Awesome job Emily! And kudos to all who assisted!
I was going to say the same thing! So, Emily and team please hear the echo!
Great job. My husband and I have been doing the trail in sections. So, it’s pretty awesome that you’re doing it by your self.
You guys inspire!! I’ll do that soon. Thank you.
You did great Emily! Perseverance will get you a long ways in life. The Texas Parks & Wildlife camera man needed to make an appearance. He did a great job.
I live in Texas but had no idea this trail even existed! I wouldn't be able to hike it for the foreseeable future, but I'd love to go sometime.
That's one of the myriad things I love about Texas
Your video was quite enjoyable. Great job!
Great video! Thank you for inspiring others to get out on the trails.
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.
Good job Emily, Happy trails.
What a great trip! Are there good resources for mapping out camp sites and water sources?
All Trails usually has good info www.alltrails.com/trail/us/texas/lone-star-hiking-trail--4
The Lone Star Hiking Trail is now reopened 2-13-2018 from Hurricane Harvey damage.
Allen Pape I need to hike it ASAP! 🤘🏼
Last time went on Lone Star trail at STUBBLEFIELD LAKE MARKERS HARD TO SEE
What a great video!!!
Awesome job! So did you have to cross any ridge lines? And what was your gear list? And super Duper amazing good job in the enthusiasm you showed? Was that every day as well when you weren’t filming?
This is sweet.
me and the wife just did a couple miles today- it was such a beautiful trail.

Great Job!
New sub ! Liked 👍😊😉🤭
Hii I really enjoy your channel ☺ Keep it up!

Good to hear, I am considering this trail

Thanks for the video! We are planning to hike a section of this trail with our kids. If it goes well maybe we'll do the whole thing one day!
I've hiked this entire trial back in 2013.
How long did it take ya?
I want to try this trail now
What time of year did you make this hike? I don't think I would do this in the summer...in Texas. lol
At the very end of the video, she mentioned it was during Spring break.
March after a particularly wet Spring. She skipped the end of the trail, Winters Bayou section as it is very flat, mostly in flood plains, and water can stand on the trail in spots. A bayou and river crossing over long bridges makes it scenic, but can be wet.
Emily looks like a great trip.
Sewing thread and mole skin for blisters. Works great.
Just getting into backpacking. Hoping to do a solo loop somewhere soon. Can you recommend something around 5 miles with primative camping?
pedernales falls has a few loops like that

Allen Pape thanks brother. Looking to thru hike this trail and I was curious how the caching and resupply was handled. Thanks for the reply!

Very cool video.
Good job!

Hope they find ultralight forums/youtubers... definitely will help on the next outing!
Right. They just need to replace one piece of equipment before every trip and after five or so trips they'll be all set.
He's like I gotta wake up early to help a 20 year old walk through a puddle...
Definitely a winter time hike.
Ha Ha you were not alone how about the Camera Man.😎 👍 👀
Bet she wont bring her house with her, next time.
I like to Bikepack with a fat bike. Are bikes allowed to do this trail ?

@@simonleicester1206 If you go during the week you will probably have the multi-use trail to yourself
Emily, if you were alone...who is recording?
There was a camera man backpacking along with Emily.
A drone or synth
So... she's 20 years old and says she loved the outdoors since she was young, eh? How long is that? 30 minutes?
I wonder if she still does this is she single
