Dude...back when I was a big duck hunter, I worked for a couple of years to gain access to some private property that stayed covered up with ducks all of the time. The landowner finally agreed and I slipped in about 4 AM, set out my decoys, threw up a really awesome makeshift blind and just sat there enjoying the night noises for a couple of hours. Just before shooting light, I went back to get my blind bag, shells, calls, gun, and dog from the truck, only to realize that my gun was still leaning up in the corner of the dining room, by the door that I walked out. I had been so concerned with all of the little things that I forgot my shotgun. SMH. Haven't hunted much since then. LOL!
@@warmeds2009 it would need to be the right exact height for the tent to rest on it when it’s unfolded. Whatever that exact height is depends on where I set the tent up and the terrain if it’s not exactly level.
Sarah’s Creek was at one time our favorite camping spot, and you were at our favorite spot! But it’s gotten ridiculous with idiots over time so we haven’t gone much this year. Sorry you didn’t get to stay my friend, better luck next time. Also, as of 2025 Sarah’s Creek will be by reservation only along with a few other areas in North Georgia so you might want to check before you go to any of them next year.
@@StandAloneAdventures thanks for the info and tip. It’s hard to reserve online when you have no clue what the sites look like haha. Some are a little too close to each other too. But it looked like a decent area to camp. It was very quiet at that spot. The Sarah’s creek trail looks very short on the map?? From what shows on the map, I was already halfway down Sarah’s creek road by the time I got to the campground area. Lol 🤷🏻♂️ is part of the trail actually not on the maps?
@@appalachhaun_adventures Yes, part of the trail isn’t on the map, at the very back of the campground the road stays to the left and takes you to the top of the mountain to a stream that you have to cross and go further up the trail, but be careful once you cross the stream and start up because the road is rutted out and shouldn’t be done alone. Also just before you got to the #8 campsite the road turns back to the left and goes for miles through War Woman WMA and that’s a cool ride as well, nothing major and when you come to the first fork stay to the left and that’s the way out but it’s a good ways before you get there. Hope all this helps. Oh , this road that turns back to the left is closed in the off season with a gate, I think it’s around late November when they close it.
I always carry extra stuff, and an extra little tent is one. For me usually never know when someone may forget their tent (or in this case ladder, lol). Honestly, I'm an engineer and would have been nerding out a little either in a walmart or HD, or?? trying to make it work but it's all good.
@@JEEP-N-DIRT ya it was already 6pm and going to be dark at like 7:30. I would have needed something to put underneath the tent edge where the ladder would have been mounted to help hold that weight of the tent plus be able to get 6’ up in the tent plus put the 75lb dog up there too haha. For 3 nights. Idk 🤷🏻♂️ wasted day I guess 😂
I once left the tree straps for my hammock at home in a different load out bag. At least you didn't hike in 10 miles to find that out! It seems that your channel name is appropriate "Adventures." I agree with the other comments about the seat time. Love the Jeep and am envious of the diesel. Always enjoy your channel, especially since we are not far from you here in East Tennessee. It wasn't completely worthless; you showed your viewers the campsite which is something I have been interested in and it provided me (and others) some good information and gave me some more places to visit myself!
@@tomdonnelly2199 idk. The tent would have been over 6’ to get in plus lift the dog inside it. Then the tent ladder is supposed to be there to help hold some of that tent weight
Dang man. That sounds like something I would do. 😂 I hate that your trip got ruined and hope you can get back down there with the ladder so we can get the video you intended to post.
@@thatyellowJT I’m still driving back now!!! 😂🙄🙄 idk if I’ll go back tomorrow or not. I had a few days off this coming week. I’ll be home in 30 mins. Hahaha
@appalachhaun_adventures I wouldn't blame you if you waited. Of course, you do still have everything else already packed. 🤣 Be safe the rest of the way home.
I didn’t want to sleep in the driver seat leaned back for 3 nights….😂

@@mountainsnmoore256 holy crap!!! Haha 😂 that sucks!!! After all that haha 😂 thanks for sharing. I’m sure everyone reading will get a kick out of it!
Any hardware store for a ladder 🪜. This is the adventure part. Solving problems on the “trail” 💯🇺🇸
Would a 6ft regular ladder from the hardware store work in that situation? The drive back had to be tough..

@@warmeds2009 and yes it sucked hahaha. I went back yesterday and stayed. Did 2 trails today. Gonna work on the video

@@brianpowell7213 haha thanks for sharing!!!
Sorry to hear it, one of the reasons I purchased the Roofnest Overland 2 with the built-in ladder
@@AramSahakian-q5i this has it too. It should be mounted in it full time. I just can’t get j to garage with the ladder on there 😂😂 ugh
@@appalachhaun_adventures Ayayay, I got you! Mine gets folded on the inside.
No worries brother. Time behind the wheel is rarely wasted. Lessons learned + you got road time.
Been there. 8 hours from home and didn't have tent poles. It sucks.
@@dirtydave4351 ouch haha
Could have hit Walmart for a quick step stool no?
@@tomdonnelly2199 idk. The tent would have been over 6’ to get in plus lift the dog inside it. Then the tent ladder is supposed to be there to help hold some of that tent weight
Facebook marketplace is your friend. I’m so sorry you turned back.
Well that sucks brother.. if you don't forget something going camping did you really even go camping...lol
@@opie2.0henry_chancesR for real 😂 ALWAYS forget stuff.

Bummer. Stuff happens
